The Original Vampire

  Fighting is indeed a lot like tug-of-war.

  Victory or defeat can happen in an instant. One party may be short of strength and be seized by the opponent, and then they will be dragged into the abyss of failure step by step.

  Marquis Dawson on the north bank of the rushing river seemed to be bleeding from his eyes when he saw the situation on the other side.

  He really couldn’t believe that his 30,000 to 40,000 elite troops on the south bank of the River Run could not hold out for even half a day under the attack of the Golden Lion Army.

  At this time, the dwarf army had been completely disorganized. The Golden Lion Army was like a sharp knife inserted into the body of the dwarf army, dividing and dismembering it.

  Therefore, although the casualties among the dwarves were not serious, they were already unable to recover.

  The pontoon bridge was already crowded. The dwarves on the north bank wanted to go over to support, but the dwarves on the south bank kept trying to escape. This resulted in the pontoon bridge being almost blocked, and dwarf soldiers were even pushed off the bridge and fell into the river…

  Of course, more dwarf soldiers were squeezed into the water on the river beach.

  The water in the rushing river is already very fast. If the soldiers who fell into the water were still wearing armor, they would only be drowned no matter how good the water quality was.

  Gradually, the dwarf soldiers also realized that their defeat was certain. Soldiers began to take off their armor, throw away their weapons, and jump into the water, trying to swim across the river.

  Escape became the only thing on the minds of the dwarf soldiers at this time.

  Therefore, even though they knew that there was a rushing river behind them, they had completely lost the courage to fight with the enemy. They would rather risk being swallowed by the river than face the enemy’s blade.

  Marquis Dawson had just cursed and even wanted to cross the river in person to preside over the battle, but fortunately, he was persuaded to come back by the officers around him.

  He was breathing heavily, clenching his fists, digging his nails into his flesh, and watching helplessly as groups of dwarves either took the initiative or were driven into the river.

  For a moment, the river was filled with flapping dwarf soldiers. At a glance, they were all heaving heads and waving hands.

  The soldiers of the Golden Lion Army who rushed to the river began to take out their bows and arrows, and calmly and ruthlessly shot the dwarves on the river.

  Soon, densely packed corpses appeared on the river.

  Marquis Dawson stared blankly at everything in front of him. The screams and shouts of death all around seemed to have disappeared. At this moment, he seemed to be completely isolated from the battlefield.

  The dwarf’s dream for thousands of years seemed to have left him at this moment.

  He was unwilling to give in.

  He has paid too much for this dream…

  A heart-piercing pain made Marquis Dawson couldn’t help but open his mouth. He tried to shout out, but when he opened his mouth, it was filled with the smell of blood.

  ”Your Majesty the Marquis! Your Majesty the Marquis!”

  The dwarf officers saw blood spurting out of Marquis Dawson’s mouth, and then he fell down and fell unconscious.

  …

  In the evening, the heavy rain finally stopped.

  The west-slanting sun finally emerged from the dark clouds, spreading its last ray of gorgeous rays of light onto the earth.

  The battle on the south bank of the River Run has basically ended. The dwarf army has been unable to organize a large-scale resistance, and only a few scattered trapped beasts are left fighting.

  The pontoon bridge connecting the two sides of the running river was already on fire.

  This fire was set by the dwarf himself, obviously to prevent the Golden Lion Army from pursuing the victory and chasing them to the north bank through the pontoon bridge.

  But in this way, the remnant army on the south bank completely lost hope of escape. More and more dwarves began to lay down their weapons and kneel down to surrender.

  ”It’s a pity. It would be great if Marquis Dawson was also on the south bank.”

  Colin stood on the bank of the running river, looking at the dwarf position on the other side, and said with a little regret.

  In fact, the Golden Lion Army had already won a complete victory in this battle. Although the statistics of the results have not yet been released, Colin estimated that the dwarf army that was defeated on the south bank this time probably numbered more than 30,000 people.

  Such a loss would definitely make Marquis Dawson heartbroken.

  The goal set before the war has been successfully completed. If the Golden Lion Army withdraws at this time, even if Marquis Dawson has ten courage, he will not dare to pursue them across the river again.

  But Colin still felt that it was not perfect. After all, he did not catch the guy who betrayed Marquis Garcia and betrayed the Black Cavalry.

  Bachelor Daun was standing next to Colin and smiled slightly after hearing his emotion: “Marquis Dawson is not famous for charging into battle. It is not that simple to catch him on the battlefield.”

  Colin heard it. The exhortation in Bachelor Daun’s words clearly indicated that although his previous behavior of personally leading the army into battle was a great success, it still made Bachelor Dao En feel worried.

  However, Colin didn’t explain too much. He couldn’t tell Dawn that he had the characteristic of being unkillable and was protected by a group of blood shadow guards who were not afraid of death. If he really wanted to pose a threat to Colin, he could only go to the sanctuary. Only the strong can take action themselves.

  Seeing that Colin was silent, Bachelor Dawn did not dwell too much on this issue. He is a smart man and knows what is too much or too little.

  After a moment of silence, Bachelor Dawn spoke again and changed the subject: “Lord Viscount, do you know why Marquis Dawson risked crossing the river to attack us?”

  Colin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly became interested: “Why? “

  Actually, he had such doubts before.

  With the natural chasm of the rushing river, the party that crosses the river to attack will definitely be at a natural strategic disadvantage.

  This time, the Golden Lion Army was able to completely defeat the 30,000 elite dwarf army in just half a day, mainly because they took advantage of the half-crossing attack.

  Therefore, the two sides would face off at Benliuhe River for more than a month, constantly sending small groups of troops back and forth to test, but no one would take the initiative to cross the river to attack.

  But this time, Marquis Dawson took the initiative.

  Of course, the chaos in the Golden Lion camp last night must have been an inducement, but this alone should not have caused Marquis Dawson to make such a risky move.

  Bachelor Daun smiled and said, “Lord Viscount, do you know the Solanki family?”

  ”Solanki?” Colin looked through the memories of his predecessor but found nothing, so he shook his head and said, “I don’t know. This shouldn’t be a family from the North, right?”

  ”Of course not. This is not even a family from the Glorious Empire.” Bachelor Daun’s eyes were deep as if he had traveled through a thousand years of time and space. “The Solanki family was the royal family of the former Dwarf Kingdom. However, the inheritance has long been cut off.”

  The dwarf royal family?

  Colin’s heart moved, and he continued to look at Bachelor Dao En, waiting for his explanation.

  ”Although the Solinki family has become history, it occupies an extremely important position in the hearts of the dwarves. It has even gradually evolved into a spiritual totem and even belief in thousands of years of nostalgia and reminiscence.

  So, if there is still a Solinki alive, as long as he ascends to the top and shouts, the dwarves will definitely surround him, and it will be a matter of course for him to find a country and become king.

  But because the Solinki family has no descendants, this time the dwarves are trying to conquer the North When we re-establish the country, we will face a problem –

  who will serve as the dwarf king?”

  Hearing this, Colin had roughly understood what Bachelor Daun meant: “So, Marquis Dawson chose to take the initiative to attack because he wanted to rely on defeating With the achievements of the Golden Lion Army, are you going to compete for the position of the Dwarf King?”

  ”Yes.” Bachelor Daun nodded, “In fact, in terms of title and power, the Marquis of Menham and the Marquis of Dawson are almost the same, but the Marquis of Dawson is in prestige. There is a huge stain on it.”

  Colin nodded, knowing that the stain was obviously the fact that Marquis Dawson betrayed his former loyalist, Marquis Garcia.

  ”Because of this stain on his reputation, if Marquis Dawson doesn’t have any extraordinary achievements, then after the dwarves establish their country, the position of the dwarf king will definitely belong to Marquis Maynham.” “

  Haha, it’s a pity. Now he has taken the risk. In the battle on the river, he suffered a disastrous defeat. It seems that Marquis Dawson has no hope of competing with Marquis Maynham.”

  Bachelor Dawn suddenly smiled coldly. “Lord Viscount, I feel that Marquis Dawson may not be willing to sit back and watch Maynham. Marquis Nahm ascended the throne of the Dwarf King.”

  ”Oh? Why?”

  ”Because the Dawson family once married a legitimate daughter of the Solink family, so after the demise of the Solink family, the Dawson family I feel that I am the true inheritor of the dwarf king’s bloodline.

  This idea has become stronger and stronger as the status of the Solinch family in the hearts of the dwarves has risen and has even become a paranoid belief.

  It is for this reason that Dawson, The Marquis would even betray the Marquis of Garcia, who was deeply benevolent to him, in order to create conditions for the dwarves to establish their country. For

  the same reason, I felt that the Marquis of Dawson would not easily give up the fight for the throne of the Dwarf King with the Marquis of Menem. Idea.”

  Colin’s eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that if Marquis Dawson was really unwilling, then this was definitely an opportunity that could be exploited.

  Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and showed a meaningful smile at the same time.
