silent in the black lake

In order to give the civilians time to escape to the imperial city at the center of the kingdom, I finally decided to change the battle to a city defense battle. I voluntarily abandoned many towns that were not strong enough to protect the civilians and moved to those towns that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The battle with vampires has also become a one-sided defense

I think I am probably the most useless and incompetent descendant of the Stuart family. I succeeded the king for only one month. Not only did I not make any achievements, but I failed to bring stability to the kingdom. casualties

I think I'm also probably the least worthy of being called the descendant of the Stuart family. I not only failed to protect the followers of the Stuart family, but also made them lose their confidence in fighting, even though those nobles didn't say anything in front of me What, but I can see from their eyes that they can't hide their deepening despair

I think I am probably the most incompetent king. I am not only unable to contribute to the freedom of mankind, but also unable to protect the stability of the kingdom, so that countless civilians were killed and injured, and even the kingdom's blood flowed into rivers

"Your Majesty, this is for you to eat." Suddenly a soft voice brought me back to my thoughts. I looked down and saw a child with a dirty face was holding my leg and holding up half a small potato with a pitted hole. tall

This child is already an orphan, and his family originally moved with my team, but not long ago, my team was ambushed by a group of vampires. Those vampires didn't seem to intend to confront my soldiers, but simply wanted to attack These civilians, unfortunately his entire family was killed in that ambush

When I found him, he was hiding in a tree hole full of black mud, with only a pair of round eyes blinking in fear. Even if I touched him, he would tremble with fear. I coaxed him for a long time. They were unwilling to leave the tree hole, so I finally dug him out of the tree hole with a potato

"Your Majesty, you eat!" The child kept tugging on my clothes, and lifted the potatoes in his hands higher with his feet

I took the potatoes and squeezed out a smile, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry" The child hugged my leg again, looked at the potato in my hand and swallowed, "But Your Majesty hasn't eaten for a long time, Dad said that His Majesty and the soldiers won't be able to beat vampires if they don't eat enough. We will be killed as vampires, so we must feed His Majesty and the soldiers first."

"I'm not hungry." I smiled and handed the potatoes to the child, but the child shook his head vigorously

"Father said, if His Majesty smiles, he is trying to be brave. He will smile and tell us it doesn't hurt even though the wound hurts, he will smile and say he is not tired even though he is tired, and he will smile and say it's okay even though he is sad, so His Majesty laughed." , must be hungry," the child said righteously, blinking his big eyes

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute, and suddenly I didn't know whether to laugh or not, but looking at the child's big round eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief, and broke half a potato into two halves again, and handed half to the child. "Then let's eat together"

The child swallowed his saliva, and finally couldn't help but took the potato and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing his cheeks and mumbled, "Dad is right, Your Majesty is the best."

I was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Does your father often tell you about me?"

"Yeah," the child said, rubbing his cheeks, "Dad said, His Majesty is the most gentle, kind, and caring king. Dad also said, His Majesty is very powerful. He can beat any vampire, and he will definitely bring stability to mankind." and free"

I touched the child's head, and the eye sockets felt a little hot. I don't know what I look like in the eyes of others, but in my own heart, I am just a soft and incompetent person

I don't know where people like me have such confidence that I can definitely bring stability and freedom to mankind

I don't even believe in myself

"After passing the last plain ahead, we will arrive at the town we are guarding, and there will be food there." Darren's voice suddenly sounded behind him

"This is the last batch of transferred civilians." I didn't look back, and wiped the dust off the child's face with my sleeve

"Yes, the report just came out said that the civilians protected by other teams have been transferred to heavily guarded towns, and the civilians who have been transferred to those towns have also begun to transfer to the imperial city. The other teams are also safe for the time being. We're left with the back-up team," Darren said.

"How are the other teams injured?" My heart beat faster. Although I have heard the news of mass casualties many times, I was still terrified before hearing the news.

"Because of avoiding battles and defending, most of the teams suffered few casualties. Only a few teams were severely injured, more than half of them were damaged. The remaining troops had already escorted the civilians and fled into the town. In addition..." Darren suddenly paused. Living

I closed my eyes, "Tell me, who sacrificed"

"It's the Duke, Your Majesty, and several of his teams were seriously injured."

"Understood" I heard my trembling voice, I don't need to report, I also know who killed the Duke, his revenge has always been so strong, no matter who he is

"Go ahead, cross the plain ahead and enter the town, these civilians are at least temporarily safe." I opened my feverish eyes

"Yes"

This team is the guard army of the Stuart family, and it is also the strongest combat force in the kingdom, and the half-vampire team led by Darren is also the elite of half-vampires. Although there were casualties in the recent attack, the combat effectiveness is still The strongest team, no doubt about it, but even so I was careful to keep them in formation with civilians in the middle

I rode at the front of the team, and there was a plain in front of me, so I could clearly see the slightly revealing white sky and the bright red but not dazzling sun, which was a sign of a clear dawn coming

The night has passed away quietly, I am slightly relieved that this night was safe and sound

Under the early sun, the plain was faintly green, and the fresh air emanating from the grass leaves wet with dew made me feel relieved. I subconsciously spurred my horse forward, and the Haohao Tangtang team followed me slowly. start moving slowly

This plain is very big. I have been walking on it for a long time, but I still can’t see the end of the plain. Looking back, the end of the long line has already set foot on the plain.

But as we walked, the increasingly whiter and brighter sky slowly covered a layer of dark clouds, which not only covered the sun, but also had a tendency to rain faintly, so that even the surrounding grass was covered. A dark, fresh smell of grass leaves is also replaced by a strong earthy smell

"Ah——" Suddenly there was a shrill scream from behind the line, my heart tightened, and I quickly looked back, only to see some handsome faces with bright red eyes standing on top of the carriages carrying civilians in the middle of the line , a figure in golden armor

They hooked their mouths into a smile, revealing their two sharp fangs, and then pulled out the golden sword at their waists and pierced through the roof of the carriage. Suddenly, there were many screams in the carriage.

"Enemy attack! Protect the civilians!" Darren yelled. As soon as he finished speaking, a half-vampire warrior in iron armor appeared behind the night clansmen, and he raised his sword and slashed at them.

Those Night Races swiftly dodged the attack and didn't intend to fight back. Instead, they stabbed and slashed into the carriage. In an instant, the roof of the carriage was suddenly covered with a layer of hard ice to block the Night Race's stabbing, but those Night Races He jumped up, his eyes flashed red, and the carriages were instantly engulfed by flames of different colors

The half-vampires also jumped up and continued to attack the Night Clan. At the same time, the ground suddenly cracked, and many black vines rushed out from the ground, slapping the flames on the carriage, and even dug up the soil to cover the carriage.

Human warriors also pulled out their weapons to assist the half-vampires, restraining those Night Clans, looking for the weaknesses of the Night Clans to attack

Suddenly the sky darkened, and pairs of bright red eyes suddenly lit up around the almost black plain, densely packed, and a few flashes approached our side

"Civilians get on the carriages! Hurry up! Those who can ride horses get on the horses! Soldiers drive the carriages!" I shouted, "Rush forward and don't look back! The half-vampires cover the civilians and move forward! The guards gather! Protect the sides! Cut off my rear!" "

"Your Majesty! Be careful behind you!" Darren yelled as he slashed away a Night Clan who was slashing at him with a sword.

There was a chill behind me, and I only heard a sound like a piercing sound beside my ears and behind my head. I subconsciously bent down, twisted my waist, and stabbed the scepter sword in my hand towards the top of my head. Suddenly, a burst of burning smoke rose from the black shadow, and the black shadow disappeared without a trace. At the same time, my horse neighed, and a stream of hot blood poured on my hand

My horse fell to the ground in an instant, and I also fell off the horse. I rolled around and just got up, when suddenly another figure with red eyes slashed at me, I turned sideways suddenly, bent my waist to hide After slashing, he grabbed his arm, pulled him forward, and then stabbed the sword of the scepter into his heart, burning smoke immediately

However, before I could catch my breath, there was another series of subtle sounds of breaking through the air behind me. I immediately lowered my figure and propped myself up on the ground to sweep towards his legs, but the Yezu suddenly jumped up and stabbed me with his sword. Come on, I immediately rolled to the side, but the night clan seemed to have expected it, taking advantage of the disadvantage of me rolling on the ground, and kept attacking me with a sword, I could only use the sword to keep resisting

I lamented my poor body now, but in my body three years ago, the moment he jumped up and stabbed at me, I was still very confident to seize the opportunity to roll under him and behind him to give him a heavy blow, But now even though the combat experience is still there, there is no way to be so agile

This is all thanks to that vampire!I cursed hard in my heart

Thinking of him, I was furious, and immediately rolled around and got up, slashing fiercely at the night clan chasing after me, but I was so impulsive that I forgot that my current strength is also very weak, at least I have always been physically strong Ye Clan, my strength can be said to be very weak, and the wrist injury has not healed at all.

Sure enough, when the sword touched the sword, the Ye Clan knocked my sword away in an instant. He grinned, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he raised his sword and slashed at me fiercely. chopped

The pain made me suffocate instantly, covering my shoulders and trembling all over, but he was about to raise his sword and continue stabbing at my heart, the red light in his eyes suddenly went out, and the next moment he put down his hand abruptly, and slammed into the side where he was going. I, the knight of the guard team who rushed over, stretched out the silver sword subconsciously, and the night clan also hit it with his heart without hesitation, and instantly turned into burning smoke and dissipated

I was stunned by Ye Clan's behavior, but my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I suddenly realized that Ye Clan's appearance seemed to be under control

he is here!i'm almost sure

"Darren and the half-vampire take the civilians away! Take as many as you can! Take the children, the elderly and the women first!" I hurriedly shouted at Darren.

Darren was being attacked by three night clan packs, and the carriages carrying civilians were stopped by the flames. Fortunately, there was a bloody shield outside the carriages, and the half-vampires were also surrounded to prevent the attack. The Ye Clan and the soldiers also formed teams to besiege the Ye Clan

The scene was extremely chaotic, with flames splitting the battlefield, ice freezing the battlefield, strong winds blowing the battlefield, and even thunder and lightning constantly striking somewhere on the battlefield. There were constant appearances on the battlefield of disfigured faces, broken limbs and legs, and bloody bodies. The soldiers were constantly burning smoke, the ground was constantly cracking, and from time to time, the corpses of civilians who had fallen fell into it, but vines kept rushing out to stir up the bloody corpses, roaring angrily. Howling and screaming one after another, the smell of blood surged

war is so cruel

"Your Majesty, what about you!" Darren shouted, no longer entangled with the three night clansmen, and rushed to the carriage

"Leave me alone! I'll be fine! You take some civilians and go first! The guards take a civilian and leave quickly! No matter what happens, don't look back!" I only had one thought in my mind, let them go quickly

"Your Majesty! We want to ensure your safety!" The captain of the guard shouted

"Don't talk nonsense! This is an order!" I almost roared out, and at the same time, I took out a handful of poison pills from my pocket, and threw them at the mouths of the night clansmen who were surrounded by the civilians with their teeth bared.

Although not all of them could be thrown into the mouths of the Yezu, after all the poisonous pills were thrown, some of the Yezu were paralyzed and fell down. However, seeing that the Yezu turned a blind eye to my actions, I became even more frightened

Darren and those half-vampires each carried one or two civilians and disappeared without a trace. The knights also rushed to the carriage, dragged the civilians onto the horses, and galloped away.

But there are still civilians left. Although the strength is small, those male civilians also held up weapons to resist the night tribe chasing the knights who were fleeing with the civilians, but most of them fell down instantly and became a bloody corpse

Suddenly, I don’t know where a chuckle came from, although it was very light, it pierced into my heart

"Come back to me" he ordered in a cold voice, which immediately resounded in all directions. At the same time, I saw those Yezu people with red eyes all stop their movements, lower their heads and caress their hearts and half kneel on the ground, densely scattered red The eyes all disappeared in an instant, leaving only a pair of bright red dazzling eyes that suddenly lit up on the hill in the distance.

My heart was beating wildly, and then stopped instantly, because I saw all the knights who were fleeing with the civilians on their horses suddenly all came back together, and they still brought the civilians back neatly to my side, got off their horses, pulled The civilians who got off their horses stood in rows in front of me, but what made my heart tremble was that all of them had cloudy eyes, and they were obviously under control

And those civilians were ashen-faced, sitting on the ground, hugging each other, trembling, as if they didn't understand what was going on, and what made me unable to breathe was that I saw the child who handed me potatoes also in these Among civilians

"Those half-vampires run faster." His sneering voice suddenly sounded beside me, and at the same time my wrist was grabbed and pulled violently. I tried to pull my hand out of his hand, but he held it very tightly.

"Is your wrist okay?" he asked coldly.

"let them go" i said bluntly

"If I don't let you go, you're going to die in front of me again." He sneered

"Then you will kill me together." I turned my head and stared straight into his bottomless black eyes.

"I should kill you." He looked at my face and said quietly: "After all, you are the king of the human kingdom now. If you kill you, human beings can only obediently accept the rule of the Senate."

"Then why don't you do it, the three generations of the Senate?" I smiled mockingly

He was slightly startled, his dark eyes were a little cloudy, and he said coldly for a long time: "I said that I will let you come back to me voluntarily."

I laughed, but I didn't know whether I was laughing at him or myself, "Is it possible, Linton, you killed my father, you killed my brother, you killed so many human beings, do you think we can go back to the past at that time?"

"How is it impossible?" He said with a gloomy face, "Even if you bear the sins that cannot be washed away, you will always be with me."

I held my forehead and smiled wryly, "Linton, don't lie to yourself anymore, you don't love me at all, you don't understand love at all, you just want to possess selfishly, you just love yourself "

He didn't answer, and after a long time he asked: "What about you, do you love me?"

"I will never fall in love with a vampire" I repeat the same answer again, "Unless I die"

He chuckled, "You've just been lying to yourself."

After speaking, he suddenly hugged me tightly from behind, pinched my chin, and forced me to raise my face to look at the commoners and knights not far in front of me

"Look carefully, how did the human beings you care about die?" He leaned into my ear and whispered, "Whether you care about, whether it is human beings or the Stuart family, I will kill and destroy them one by one. From now on, you can only care about me, so that you can never say that I am irrelevant, such words"

My heart beat wildly in an instant. It turned out that the tragic war in the past month and the sacrifice of so many people in the past month were all because of what I said to him: only you are irrelevant

Suddenly, a clang interrupted my thoughts. The knights in front of me suddenly pulled out their swords from their waists, and my heart skipped a beat. "Don't kill them!" I heard my trembling roar

"Kill" he ordered coldly in my ear, the knights immediately turned their heads and raised their swords to face the civilians

"Don't kill them!" I heard my broken roar, but those knights with cloudy eyes swung their swords at those ashen-faced civilians without hesitation

My vision was immediately stained red by the blood from the rising and falling silver swords, my ears were filled with the miserable screams of those civilians, and my nostrils were even more filled with the choking smell of blood

"Don't kill them! Linton! I beg you!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I felt the tears welling up from the corners of my eyes. I saw the boy who handed me potatoes was guarded by a civilian. Next, the silver sword continued to penetrate the body of the civilian, and was about to stab the child

"Are you begging me for unrelated human beings again?" he said through gritted teeth, pinching my jaw

"Don't kill them! Let them go! I won't say that again! I was wrong!" I don't know how to stop him, "You hit me! Imprison me! You want to hurt me Do anything! Don't kill them! Let them go!"

"Just for this group of humans?" He seemed to be breathing rapidly, and then he roared and ordered: "Kill! Kill them all! Kill them all!"

Those knights sped up their movements in an instant, and the sword would take away the life of a commoner. I saw the child under the corpse of the commoner suddenly widen his pupils.

"what--"

"what----"

"what------"

I heard myself screaming incessantly, the voice was trembling and broken, broken and screaming, I didn't close my lips slightly until my voice was completely hoarse

These faces of death merged with all the faces that died in front of me that I have seen in the past month, forming a more terrifying and miserable face, dangling in front of my eyes, tearing my flesh with teeth and claws. heart

"As well as your loyal subordinates, you must die because of your stubborn resistance." He whispered in my ear, and as soon as he finished speaking, the knight in front of me suddenly raised his sword neatly and placed it across his neck.

"Don't..." I uttered the last sound in a hoarse voice. The next moment, all the knights drew their swords and killed themselves in front of my eyes. They all fell straight to the ground. blood stained red, extraordinarily glaring

I was drained of all my strength in an instant, I lowered my head, my mind went blank, he also let go of me, and I immediately slumped to the ground

"If you don't resist and accept the rule obediently, you will save a lot of killings," he said coldly

Suddenly a thunder exploded, followed by a flash of silver light in the sky, illuminating the messy ground in front of me, and in the blink of an eye, cold raindrops fell, becoming denser and heavier, and soon became a dump heavy rain

These raindrops flow down the corners of my eyes, so I can't tell if it's rain or tears

He suddenly squatted in front of me, tore off the broken silver armor on my body, tore the blood-stained clothes under the silver armor, pulled off the clothes on my shoulders, hugged me and pushed me down to the ground, and then he approached the place where my shoulder was injured lick up hard

The raindrops falling from the sky densely hit my pupils, which hurt and blurred my vision, but I couldn't close my eyes

He suddenly stretched out his head to block my eyes, not only covering the rain, but also occupying my sight. His bottomless black eyes stared at me, and the dark lake reflected my purple eyes again, but this This time, the purple eyes are no longer clear and peaceful, but lifeless and lifeless.

"You can only love me, you can only care about me, and you can only belong to me." He said, and then he held my lips and invaded domineeringly, as if he felt that I would not respond at all, flashing in his black eyes With a trace of panic, he kissed deeply even more forcefully.

I don't know how long he kissed because I couldn't feel anything but pain

He kissed me for a long time, and suddenly there was gloom in his black eyes. He let go of my lips, moved them to my neck, licked them twice, and then bit them eagerly.

There was a similar swallowing sound next to my ear, and the similar feeling of absorbing the heat of my whole body was also heard on my neck, so besides the pain, I felt the cold again.

He suddenly hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to keep me warm, and held my cold hand

But he suddenly stopped smoking, raised his head abruptly, stared at me with black eyes full of fear, stretched out his trembling hand to caress my face, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't even think about dying, you don't want to die. hate me"
