My Rebirth and the Strange Adventure of Black Zhen

As night fell and the lights came on, the grand celebration hosted by the new patriarch of the Bathory family continued, and the joyful atmosphere filled the air, as if it would never fade away. The clock quietly pointed to midnight, but the guests present were not tired at all, and were still immersed in joy and revelry.

The new head of the family knew that this victory was hard-won, and that he had to win the support and loyalty of the people in order to consolidate his position and protect the magnificent Bathory Castle. Therefore, he carefully planned this celebration banquet to reward the warriors who had fought bloody battles to defend their homeland and to take the opportunity to bring them closer together.

The banquet was filled with the aroma of wine and a wide variety of delicious food. People drank to their heart's content and laughed and talked. Under the influence of alcohol, everyone gradually let go of their reserve and vigilance, and their mood became more relaxed and happy. The patriarch shuttled among the crowd, toasted with everyone, and chatted and laughed, showing extraordinary affinity and leadership.

Late at night, the drunken guests looked for places to rest, some fell asleep directly, and some staggered back to their rooms. The next morning, when the sun shone on the earth, some people woke up and were surprised to find that there were many strange creatures lurking outside the castle. Faced with this sudden situation, they had no choice but to stay in Bathory Castle temporarily to ensure safety.

Assuming there were no other factors, these people who were just passing through gradually got used to the life here. And the clever patriarch of the Bathory family also took the opportunity to use his means to slowly bring them under his command. He gave them generous treatment and sufficient resources, and organized training, so that this team continued to grow and have a strong combat effectiveness.

Over time, this once ragtag army gradually transformed into an elite force with strict discipline, bravery and combat effectiveness.

Unfortunately, in the Medieval Singularity, there are multiple forces influencing the Great Castle of Bathory.

Take the most prominent Burning Legion and the demonic forces from another world for example!

The Dreadlord of the Burning Legion was able to transform into a human form and sneak into Bathory Castle, where he spread a terrible plague. The plague spread rapidly like a poisonous fog, bringing great disaster to the humans in Bathory Castle.

The plague spread by the Dreadlords in the Burning Legion not only made people physically weak and unable to resist foreign invasion, but also plunged the entire castle into panic and chaos.

At this moment, a group of smart and brave Alliance priests and paladins disguised as missionaries stepped forward. With their superb medical skills and divine power, they successfully extinguished the plague and won the trust and praise of the new patriarch of the Bathory family.

These brave and fearless adventurers cleverly took advantage of the changes in the situation to eradicate evil and establish a good image, killing two birds with one stone!

Antonio Bathory, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, does not want anyone to threaten his ruling position, let alone allow these people to accumulate reputation at will in his Bathory Castle!

However, the situation is urgent now - the Queen sends two powerful Mantid expeditions to storm the south gate of Bathory Castle.

Another force threatening Castle Bathory came from the Horde.

Compared to the reckless attack launched by the Mantid expedition sent by the Queen, the tribe's offensive was quite mild.

The tribal expedition team attacked three times during the day.

There were only about twenty people in each attack.

Even if more than twenty tribal explorers climbed up to Bathory Castle with their personal bravery, they were not in sufficient numbers to resist the reinforcements inside Bathory Castle.

Usually, tribal explorers would begin to retreat as soon as they saw the reinforcements from Bathory Castle.

What's strange is that the tribal explorers consciously covered the wounded and retreated first.

If a tribal explorer unfortunately dies, the fellow tribal explorers will bring the body back to the tribal camp.

Although the tribal explorers caused little damage to Bathory Castle.

The new patriarch of the Bathory family did not dare to disrespect the tribal explorers.

Because of his trust in the Bathory family, the patriarch learned through cavalry scouts that there were about a thousand people in the tribal camp.

In order to guard against sudden attacks from about a thousand tribal explorers, the new patriarch of the Bathory family allocated a considerable number of troops to guard against the tribal explorers.

Faced with such a life-and-death situation, Antonio Bathory knew that now was not the time to get rid of him.

Antonio Bathory then had to make a difficult decision: to hand over part of the key defense tasks of Bathory Castle to the Alliance explorers.

Of course, deep down in his heart, this newly appointed, scheming chief would be very happy to see the Alliance explorers fight the two aggressive enemy forces to a mutual defeat or even destruction...

After all, this way, we can weaken the enemy's power and consolidate our own foundation. Why not do it? Whenever Antonio Bathory thought of this, his mouth slightly raised and revealed a barely perceptible sneer.

The dreadlords from the Burning Legion and the hateful ones from another world also sneered. After the plague was successfully controlled by the Alliance explorers, these two representatives of evil forces were unwilling to fail. They quietly lurked in the dark and set their sights on the humans in Bathory Castle.

In the process of corrupting these humans, the Burning Legion's Dreadlords and the Otherworld's Hatelords were surprised to find that someone else had already taken the lead. It turned out that a small mantis demon from the Queen had already sneaked into Bathory Castle.

The tiny mantis demon uses its unique parasitic ability to erode the humans in the castle bit by bit, making more and more people become its puppets.

As time went on, dozens of innocent residents of Bathory Castle gradually lost their self-awareness and were completely controlled by this group of mysterious mantis demons.

At this moment, the dreadlords of the Burning Legion and the hateful lords of the other world realized that they had encountered a powerful and cunning opponent.

Faced with such a situation, they had to re-examine their plans and think about how to deal with this sudden challenge.

After some thought, the Dreadlord of the Burning Legion and the Hateful Lord of the Other World came up with a vicious plan.

Using the Alliance explorers' help, we eliminated the Queen's Mantis that was causing trouble.

After all, the actions of the Queen's Mantid, who play with parasites, are not in line with the values ​​of the Alliance explorers.

While the Dreadlord and the Hatelord were secretly plotting, the Alliance explorers also noticed something unusual inside Bathory Castle.

They found that some residents behaved strangely and seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force.

So, the Alliance explorers launched an investigation, trying to find out the truth and protect other residents from harm.

During the investigation, they accidentally discovered the existence of the Queen's Mantis.

After an Alliance Paladin class explorer was forced to kill a mad man, the Alliance Paladin class explorer observed a small mantid emerging from the corpse.

"Parasite!"

The Alliance paladin explorers who had experienced the battle of Darnassus were the first to recognize the strange creatures emerging from the corpses.

This small and cunning creature is trying to run to a hidden corner and wait for an opportunity.

Feeling that the matter was of great importance, the Alliance Paladin dared not conceal it and immediately reported it to other Alliance explorers.

That night, the Alliance explorers reported to the new Patriarch of the Bathory family about the parasites controlling the people in Bathory Castle.

Regardless of the attitude of the new patriarch of the Bathory family, the Alliance explorers will never forgive the enemy who invaded using parasitic means - the Queen's Mantis.

The Alliance explorers decided to engage in a fierce battle with the Mantid sent by the Queen to defend the peace and tranquility of Castle Bathory.

The new head of the Bathory family, with a worried look on his face and constantly holding his forehead, eagerly hopes that the explorers in the Alliance of Hope can successfully eliminate the Queen's Mantis that caused the parasitic crisis, but he is also worried that doing so may prevent the explorers of the Alliance of Hope from gaining more prestige.

Just as a servant with a shifty look was about to leave to deliver a letter to the Habsburg Kingdom, requesting it to send an expeditionary force to drive away all kinds of monsters around the Bathory family, the new head of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, suddenly stopped him.

"Wait! Take out those blood-stained gold coins and use them as tribute from the Patriarch of our Bathory family to the King of the Habsburg Kingdom and as payment for their military expenses."

After the shifty servant left as ordered, the new head of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, reached out and pressed hard on the solid wooden table, and struggled to support his body and stand up.

"That old woman must have hidden some gold coins. I must find a way to force her to hand over the money." He thought to himself.

Walking through the dark secret passage, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, came to the cell of the former patriarch of the Bathory family.

Initially, Antonio Bathory, who pretended to be the new head of the Bathory family out of necessity, attempted to use his status as nephew to impress and deceive his former head.

Not only did he make a heartfelt confession, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, also took out a threatening letter from the King of the Habsburg Kingdom from his chest.

The new Bathory family patriarch, Antonio Bathory, was in tears and even knelt in front of the former Bathory family patriarch.

"Help me, aunt."

Antonio Bathory, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, begged for mercy with his hands, threatening to invade with the Queen's Mantis and tribal expedition team outside Bathory Castle.

"Without financial support, the people of Bathory Castle will riot sooner or later. Then the Bathory family will be dead without a burial place."

However, the former Patriarch of the Bathory family, who had long seen through the true face of the new patriarch, saw through the scam without hesitation and resolutely rejected it.

"My good nephew, you have already given my jewelry and belongings to the King of the Habsburg Kingdom. What else can I, who am dressed in coarse linen, give you?"

Hearing the rejection in the words of the former Bathory clan leader, the new Bathory family leader Antonio Bathory stood up.

"What? Where is the treasure that your biased uncle gave you before he died?"

Seeing that his conspiracy was exposed, Antonio Bathory, who was angry and humiliated, instantly became furious.

"The treasure that the unfaithful man gave me is Bathory Castle."

"I already have Castle Bathory in my hands. I want more."

Antonio Bathory, the new Bathory family patriarch, burst into anger and grabbed the former Bathory family patriarch.

"With the treasure of my biased uncle, the army I have recruited recently will sooner or later train a group of elite troops. By then, even the Habsburg Kingdom will be in my pocket."

He couldn't control his inner anger and actually beat up the former patriarch who once led the entire family!

"Now my aunt told me that I didn't favor my uncle's treasure. Humph, even so, I can still make money."

This sudden violent conflict shocked everyone. No one expected things to develop to this extent.

Antonio Bathory, the new head of the Bathory family, kicked his aunt away and said, "My biased uncle took away a sum of luxurious burial objects when he fell asleep. As long as the leader of the British Kingdom believes that my aunt is an evil vampire, I, your nephew, will purify my uncle's burial objects."

Just as the new patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, was showing off his power, a demon disguised as a maid appeared in front of him.

"Who are you? I have already ordered that no one except me can enter this room."

Seeing that it was just a maid, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, planned to scare her.

After tricking the maid in front of him into stealing his uncle's burial objects and completing the above shameful and dirty work, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, found a random reason to kill the maid.

"A maid who makes a mistake will be punished. Otherwise, your family members living near Bathory Castle will be considered servants of the vampire."

In the Middle Ages, anyone identified as a servant of a vampire would be persecuted to death by church members and the ignorant public.

Most of the rural women around Castle Bathory are illiterate and cannot argue.

In the past, country girls who came to work at Bathory Castle fell into the trap of Antonio Bathory, the new Bathory family patriarch, with just a little intimidation.

The country girl who fell into the trap was betrayed by the new Bathory family patriarch, Antonio Bathory, after she completed the dirty work assigned by him.

The new Bathory family patriarch, Antonio Bathory, put the blame on the country girl.

Few country girls can prove their innocence.

Even if someone saved the country girl, the new Bathory family patriarch, Antonio Bathory, was capable of assassinating a country girl.

But what the new Bathory family patriarch Antonio Bathory saw was not a country girl, but a demon disguised as a maid.
