The Original Vampire

  Phew!

  Holmen pulled the long knife out of the enemy’s chest, and hot blood splashed all over his face.

  Huh-huh-

  he gasped for breath because the abdominal cramps caused by hunger almost made him unable to straighten his back. The liquid, which was either blood or sweat, blurred Holm’en’s eyes, making it difficult for him to clearly see what was ahead.

  This battle happened too suddenly and inexplicably.

  Holm’en thought he could finally escape the fate of being a prisoner, but he didn’t expect that what awaited him was not acceptance by friendly forces but an attack!

  He couldn’t figure out why the Menam family wanted to kill them.

  But he was just a nobody, unable to figure out the situation and unable to reverse it. When enemies came like a tide, he had no choice but to draw his sword to resist.

  The long-term malnutrition during his captivity left Hommen with little fighting ability. At this time, his hands seemed to be filled with lead and he could not lift them at all.

  Under the darkness of night, Holm’en didn’t know what the current battlefield situation was like. He only knew that his comrades around him kept falling, and even the team leader had died in battle.

  If General Tumu hadn’t been at the forefront like a god of war, these newly released dwarf prisoners would have collapsed long ago.

  But now they are almost on the verge of collapse.

  At this moment, Holm’en suddenly heard a faint sound coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw the Winter City gate open again, and a fire dragon composed of countless torches emerged from the gate.

  The Golden Lions are here too!

  Holm’en’s heart twitched, and he had an ominous premonition that tonight would be an unbearable night for the dwarves.

  The Golden Lions, who left the city, did not rush to join the battlefield. Instead, they leaned against the city wall and began to form a neat military formation, as if waiting for the dwarves to decide the winner first.

  This kind of movement obviously made the warring dwarves realize that something was wrong, and the retreat horns immediately sounded in the Menam family’s army.

  But at this time, the Dawson family army pursued him relentlessly because they wanted to rescue Marquis Dawson.

  Only the dwarf prisoners released from Winter City suddenly collapsed to the ground as if they were deflated, unable to move at all.

  In this battle, they were the party with the heaviest casualties. Among the more than 15,000 prisoners, those who could still breathe at this time were estimated to be less than half of the original number.

  After the Menam family’s army gradually withdrew, the Golden Lion Legion’s military formation slowly pressed forward.

  ”Put down your weapons, kneel down, and surrender!”

  ”Put down your weapons, kneel down, and surrender!”

  …

  Hearing such a voice, Holm’en could no longer raise any thoughts of resistance. He immediately threw away the long knife in his hand and knelt down obediently. On the ground, he sighed secretly at the same time. What a fart!

  Why did he become a prisoner again just after he was released?

  The dim light of morning gradually tore apart the darkness and gave light to the earth again.

  The armies of the Dawson family and the Maynum family also temporarily stopped fighting and entered a tense confrontation stage.

  In fact, the moment he saw the Golden Lions leaving the city, Marquis Menham immediately regretted his decision.

  Although he was reluctant to admit it, he also understood that he might have been fooled.

  So, while leading his army to slowly retreat away from Winter City, he sent envoys to the Dawson family army to demand reconciliation.

  At this time, Wells Dawson, who commanded the Dawson family’s army, immediately made a request. The only possibility of reconciliation was that the Maynham family immediately released Marquis Dawson and compensated the Dawson family for their losses.

  However, at this time, the Marquis of Mainham had other thoughts.

  He knew very well that, after a night of melee, the relationship between the Dawson family and the Maynham family had been completely broken. Even if he really followed Wells’s request and released Marquis Dawson and compensated for the losses, it would be impossible for the two families to make peace. The relationship was restored as before.

  The seeds of distrust have been planted so deeply that it will be extremely difficult to eliminate them.

  Once the two major dwarf families can no longer work together, they will no longer be able to gain the upper hand when facing the Saint Hilde family. Even after a night of melee, the dwarf coalition, which is extremely tired and wary of each other, may not be able to defeat the Saint-Hilde family. It may not be the enemy of the Golden Lions.

  At this time, what Marquis Menham was thinking about was how to end it.

  The peace negotiation conditions originally proposed by the Saint Hilde family are not unacceptable to him now.

  Marquis Dawson seemed to see something in Marquis Maynham’s uncertain eyes and immediately said:

  ”If you want to hand me over in exchange for the Saint Hilde family’s understanding, you are just asking for your own death.”

  Marquis Menham’s heart moved, and he asked in a deep voice, “Why?”

  Marquis Dawson chuckled and said, “Don’t you understand yet? The St. Hilde family has no intention of negotiating with us from the beginning. They can’t tolerate it at all. The dwarves established an independent country in the north!

  Therefore, the tactics of sowing discord against us are one after another, one after another!

  If you hand me over and even combine with the Golden Lion Army to defeat the Dawson family’s army, do you think Sheng Xi will let the De family go because of this?

  No!

  They will definitely find ways to get rid of the Mainem family too!

  By then, without the help of the Dawson family, are you sure the Maynham family can face the St. Hilde family alone? Marquis

  Menham suddenly fell silent.

  Upon seeing this, Marquis Dawson immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, “So, the Dawson family and the Menham family are the existences of both prosperity and loss!”

  Only by uniting our two families can the dwarves gain a foothold in the north! But

  Marquis Menham did not agree immediately. Instead, he frowned and asked, “Marquis Dawson, do you think I can still trust you after what happened last night?” Marquis

  Dawson took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I can promise that as long as you let me go back, I will immediately rein in the army and never allow them to attack you!”

  Moreover, I can also send Falco to you! “

  Marquis Menham’s eyes narrowed, and then he felt a little moved.

  He knew that Count Falco was the heir recognized by Marquis Dawson, and this kind of behavior was more binding than a simple verbal promise.

  But then he frowned again. “Isn’t Count Falco in Winter City now? He has probably been detained by the St. Hilde family. Why did you hand him over to me? Marquis

  Dawson rolled his eyes and immediately said, “Well then, let me go, and I will hand Wells over to you as a hostage.”

  Marquis Menham chuckled, shook his head, and said, “Do you think I’m stupid? ” That boy Wells doesn’t take your attention at all. I guess you won’t feel bad if I kill him. Marquis

  Dawson said helplessly: “Then what are you going to do?” “

  The Marquis of Menum was lost in thought.

  But at this moment, the army of the Golden Lion Army had already caught up with them, and their frontline was directed at the Menum family.

  On the other side, the army of the Uman family also arrived, and the target was the Dawson family’s army, but the difference is that the Uman family’s army just formed a formation and had no intention of attacking. It seems that it is just guarding the Dawson family and asking them not to act rashly.

  Here is the Golden Lion Army; the horn of attack has already sounded.

  Seeing this situation, Marquis Menham immediately ordered the army to prepare for the battle. At the same time, he looked at Marquis Dawson coldly and said sarcastically:

  ”You still said that you were talking to Shengxi. The De family has no secret connection, so why did the Golden Lion attack my army alone but not yours? “

  Marquis Dawson sighed, as if he were a little frustrated: “If you are always confused by the Saint Hilde family’s alienation methods, then there is really no need for us to continue to cooperate.

  The dream of the dwarves to establish a nation—haha, maybe, as Marquis Garcia said, it is really just a joke! “

  Speaking of this, Marquis Dawson closed his eyes with a look of sadness on his face, as if he didn’t want to say anything anymore.

  Marquis Menham’s face was gloomy, but with the enemy in front of him, he was not allowed to think too much, so he had to put everything aside for the time being. Distracted thoughts, focused on dealing with the attack of the Golden Lion Army.

  Soon, the forward troops of the two armies met head-on.

  The sound of killing instantly filled the wilderness.
