This thick fog seemed to be alive. It changed into different shapes with its teeth and claws. Sometimes it was a devil, sometimes it was a bat, and sometimes it was a skull face. Even in the face of dawn, it was not timid at all and never retreated. mean. It wasn't until the sun began to appear that he was unwilling to fly towards the direction of Cormanso. At this time, Gavin and the others dared to go down the mountain. When they arrived at the Tessel refugee camp, Copperfield and the others were busy counting people, with unconcealable sadness and indignation on their faces. "Are some people still kidnapped? How many were kidnapped?" Although there is a suspicion of exposing scars, I have to ask. "There are still eighteen people who have not been found. They are searching door to door to see if there are any who are hiding and dare not come out." Copperfield replied solemnly. There are far more missing people than expected. "How come there are so many?" Gavin was shocked. "Time is too short. We can't gather everyone together. Some of them can only hide in private houses by themselves. Those vampires are not only proficient in the art of charm, but also proficient in the magic of phantom sound. Even with the assistance of those bards, Our barn and church doors were almost deceived by them, let alone ordinary residents, who were unable to prevent them. " Copperfield was still frightened when he thought about what happened last night. Those vampires were not only powerful, but also had various methods.
After discovering that the phantom sound technique was not easy to use, he immediately changed his strategy. Instead of trying to trick the door open, they resorted to more violent and sinister means. First, control the rat swarm and gather all the rats in the entire refugee camp. Let them chew on the load-bearing pillars of the barn, trying to collapse the barn and scare the villagers inside. Fortunately, there were moon elf bards here. They were all proficient in the repair technique, and some even knew how to repair it completely. After this trick didn't work, just let the mice bite a big hole in the roof of the barn, and the mice swarmed in like dumplings. Thanks to the bard's use of opera to divert attention at the beginning, most of the fear in their hearts was relieved, and their courage was completely inspired, so they did not completely collapse in the attack of the rat army. Even so, there were still a few dazed fools who tried to open the barn door and escape, without thinking that there were vampires outside waiting for this to happen. Fortunately, Copperfield had been guarding the barn door with his men, preventing those idiots from committing stupid acts. After seeing that the mouse attack was extinguished, the vampire directly summoned wild monsters from the wild and prepared to storm the barn. Before they could gather enough people, daybreak came. After listening to Copperfield's description, Gavin said with a heavy expression: "This face is torn. Tonight they will definitely no longer hide and tuck in, but will come out in full force, most likely with charm." All kinds of monsters came together, ready to overturn the barn or church. " Copperfield nodded in agreement and said, "We think so too." "How is the mood of the villagers? Can they survive another night?" This is what Gavin is most worried about. The nerves of these ordinary people are not that strong. After such a torment, many of them are fragile and are probably on the verge of collapse. If you tell them that they can't escape now and have to stay up all night, many people will probably collapse on the spot. "Don't worry, they are not so fragile." Copperfield was full of confidence in the villagers in the refugee camp. "They all struggled to escape from blood and fire and went through untold hardships to get here. The war has not Defeat them. The waves on the sea have not defeated them. They will never be intimidated by a group of vampires. Give them some time to digest the sadness of losing their loved ones. I will tell them the rest." "Okay." Gavin decided to give Copperfield his trust in this matter. After all, the other party is not an ordinary person, but a naval general who is known as the last watchman of Tethyr. He has lived here for a long time and knows the residents here best.
Gavin added: "I brought a kobold trap maker here. She can create tunnels and caves to hide people. She can hide most of the village in them. I plan to set up this tunnel cave in the church so that people can hide in it." All the villagers hid there. Just leave a few brave soldiers to show off in the barn. When the time comes, we will place the main battlefield here. " This kobold trap maker is none other than Suzy. At the beginning, they used one move to cheat the Bloodclaw tribe. Today, there is a trap to hide people, one real and one false. Upon hearing this, Copperfield cheered up slightly and said, "That's really great. This way it will be easier for me to convince them to cooperate with our actions." "The most important thing now is to let them eat and rest quickly. The Admiral will have another sleepless night tonight..." While Gavin and Copperfield were discussing tactics, there was a commotion in the distance. "Why are you stopping us? We want to leave here. We don't want to die here. We don't want to become vampire food. We don't want to be the next missing person." "The village chief just issued an order this morning. No one is allowed to leave the village without his permission." "Village Chief? Copperfield? Why does he do this? What right does he have to do this? He is just a latecomer. If we hadn't accepted you, you would still be wandering outside like wild dogs." "They are people who are like wild dogs in your mouth. They protect your safety and prevent you from being threatened by various wild beasts. When you are short of food, they try their best to get food for you and compete with the coyotes and wild dogs in the wild. Grab every ration and feed your bellies, why do you think so? Just because when people in the village disappeared, they tried every means to find out the cause and rescue them. Now they finally see hope. Instead of cooperating well, you just think about saving your own lives. There are people more selfish and shameless than you. ? " "We know, we know that we owe the village chief a lot, but this does not stop us from leaving. You have seen what happened last night. Those vampires are too powerful and are not something we can fight against. We just A group of farmers who only know how to cultivate the land are useless if they stay here. In the end, they will be kidnapped by those vampires and become their new food rations. If we leave, won't we reduce your guardianship burden? " "Once someone makes a move, the hearts of our village will be completely shattered. Everyone will disperse. Who will rescue the abducted villagers? Do you have the heart to abandon them and ignore them?" "Of course I can't bear it. There are our best friends and good friends inside, but the question is, what can we do? We can only tremble under their threats, not even daring to risk our lives. Since you said Find a place where we can be used, even if I die here tonight, I will not leave. " Even if you don't listen to their quarrel, it's not difficult to tell why they are conflicting. It was just that some villagers wanted to leave, but the young people led by the militiamen blocked them and refused to let them leave. Both sides held their own opinions and had a heated argument. Copperfield's face was obviously a little dark. He had just assured Gavin that there would be no problems in the refugee camp, and then there was a noise here. It was like slapping him in the face. There was a loud snapping sound. kind. Copperfield wanted to rush forward and argue with the villagers, but Gavin stopped him and said, "Village Chief, if you can trust me, let me try. If I don't succeed, it won't be too late for you to take action again." "You..." There was unconcealable hesitation on Copperfield's face. Now that the situation was in such chaos, he didn't even have the confidence to suppress the situation. Gavin was an outsider, and it didn't matter whether the villagers listened to him or not. is a problem. Gavin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know the best way to deal with them." "Okay." Copperfield made up his mind, "I'll leave it to sir." "Thank you." Gavin didn't waste any time and directly activated the battle armor. The energy dragon wings stretched out from his back. With a slight vibration, he took off directly into the air, reached a height of about ten meters, and stopped in suspension. In this way of appearing, you can be as showy as you want. I don’t know if it was intentional or a coincidence, but he chose the location to take off, which happened to be in the direction of the rising sun. After he took off, he blocked the sun directly behind him.
In other words, the sun has become his background. The sunlight shining from around him complements the battle armor on his body. It is as dazzling as it is. It is a pity that behind him are emerald green dragon wings. If If you replace it with the angel wings of blazing white light, you will become an angel who has descended to earth. Even so, there was also a burst of exclamations of angels and angels coming from below. Being low-key is a virtue. But it depends on the situation. At this time of panic, showing your strong strength is the wisest choice. It's a pity that Broken Thorn and Black Heather are still on their way, otherwise if those two stood behind him, they would be more convincing. Gavin didn't need to say anything at all. The way he appeared had already shocked the whole audience. Everyone stopped arguing and focused their attention on him. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Only then did Gavin speak: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gavin Nott. At the invitation of Mayor Copperfield, I came to assist you in rescuing the abducted villagers. Please listen to what I have to say. From now on, whether you go or stay is entirely voluntary, and no one will stop you. Mayor Copperfield..." "Mr. Gavin's promise is my promise." Copperfield's breathy voice came from the crowd. Gavin then continued: "Let me first tell you about the situation we are facing. What we are facing are not ordinary vampires, but drow vampires. They kidnapped our villagers not to hoard food for themselves, but to rescue a sealed drow vampire lord. This is a story. A legendary vampire with the terrifying ability to turn a city or a country into a night city. What we have to do today is to stop those drow vampires, get more blood, and prevent them from releasing this sealed drow vampire lord. Once our attempt fails and the drow vampire lord is released, it will not only be a disaster for a village, but also a disaster for the Battle Valley and even the entire valley. When the time comes, where do you think you can escape? Fleeing back to Tethyr again? " As the saying goes, magic can be defeated with magic. Since fear overwhelmed them, they had the urge to escape. Now use greater fear to prevent them from escaping, or they will lose the desire to escape and there will be no way to escape. Sure enough, as soon as Gavin finished speaking, more despair appeared on everyone's faces. Just being an ordinary vampire is so terrifying, and the stress and despair it brings is so deep. How terrifying is the sealed legendary vampire? How horrible? If the sun really never rises again, the earth is forever shrouded in darkness, and there are vampires everywhere, they can't just stay at home and never go out. And with their own abilities, it's impossible to hide, just think about what happened last night. If it weren't in the barn, if it weren't for Copperfield and the others, if it weren't for those bards, they probably wouldn't even be able to get through the first stage of vampire temptation and deception.
