The Original Vampire

  Just when Vera and Colin were taken into the Phoenix Palace by Queen Midela, Bachelor Daun came to the southern area of ​​Yulong City alone.

  Since the Holy Mountain and the Phoenix Palace are both located in the North District of Yulong City, nobles with some status will try their best to settle down and buy property in the North District. The South District has naturally become a gathering place for common people. The further south you go, the darker and simpler the buildings become.

  But in such a civilian gathering area, there is a manor that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

  Although this manor is not in a good location, it occupies a large area. It is surrounded by fruit trees with buds. There are several unique villas within the walls, and they are all equipped with bungalows, barracks, warehouses, and gardens. It is completely like a noble house. Manor.

  In Yulong City, the only person who is willing to build such a manor in a civilian area is the Prime Minister, Baron Heidegger.

  This imperial prime minister, who was born as a commoner, always had a certain distance from nobles, which he could not change even after he had been in a high position for more than 40 years.

  Perhaps it is precisely because he was born at the bottom, cares about the bottom, and knows what the people at the bottom are thinking that he can manage the empire to prosper.

  Of course, perhaps this is also the reason why the Imperial Senate has always looked down upon this “bumpkin.”.

  After confirming his identity, Bachelor Dawn was led into the manor by the butler.

  But the housekeeper did not take Bachelor Dawn to the study or the living room. Instead, he guided him to a lawn behind the main castle.

  There, Maester Dawn saw the Imperial Prime Minister, who was squatting on the ground and roasting sweet potatoes without any image.

  Baron Heidegger is over seventy years old. He has gray hair, but he is still in good spirits. He is dressed in slightly old but quite neat casual clothes. He looks like an ordinary old civilian and does not have the aura of a boss at the helm of the Imperial Administration. field.

  ”Your Majesty Prime Minister!” Bachelor Dao En quickened his pace, stepped forward, and bowed.

  Baron Heidegger was obviously very familiar with Bachelor Daun. After seeing him, he pointed to the ground with a smile and said casually, “Sit down and try my roasted sweet potatoes.”

  ”Okay!” Bachelor Dao En didn’t feel very comfortable either. Being ignored, he sat down on the lawn and then took the sweet potato from the baron with a smile. It might have been a little hot to his hands, so he blew on it hurriedly and shook it back and forth in his hand.

  Baron Heidegger’s eyes have lost their proper brilliance due to long years of hard work and appear gray and dull, but everyone who is stared at by these gray eyes will feel uncomfortable, as if the other person has the ability to see everything, making everyone The filth and filthiness inside cannot be hidden.

  Bachelor Daun maintained a leisurely and contented manner under such gazes. He carefully peeled off the sweet potato skin in his hand and ate it with relish.

  Seeing the other party enjoying himself, Baron Heidegger also had a smile on his face and asked, “Is there any problem with the food supply in the North this year?”

  ”Viscount Angelet has received strong support from the Half-Elf Kingdom. , should be able to survive this year, but the lives of ordinary people will be a little difficult.”

  At this point, Bachelor Daun raised his head, looked at Baron Heidegger with hopeful eyes, and asked, “If the central government of the empire can support some food, then the situation in the north will be much better.”

  Baron Heidegger shook his head and refused: “It’s not that I don’t want to help you; I’m afraid the Feiyan leader will have some problems with its own food supply this year.”

  ”What’s wrong?” said academician En, who was quite puzzled. “There haven’t been any disasters in the Scarlet Flame Territory in recent years, right?”

  Baron Heidegger’s face became a little solemn: “The situation in the Western Region is a bit bad. The St. Gerian family has written several times to request the empire. The central government sent troops to support us.

  However, neither His Majesty nor the Senate agreed to send troops, but only agreed to provide food and material support.”

  Bachelor Daun also frowned and asked, “Is the pressure from the orcs so great?”

  ”Yes. According to a letter from the Saint Gerian family, an orc force called the Warsong Tribe is rising at an extremely terrifying speed. The Western Territory had to send an expeditionary force across the Tianduan Mountains to intervene militarily to prevent the Warsong Tribe from taking advantage of the situation. Make it bigger, and even unify the orcs and establish the Third Orc Empire!”

  ”The Third Orc Empire?” Bachelor Dawn was horrified.

  The glorious empire established by the human race occupies the richest area in the center of the continent, but there will inevitably be coveted alien races around.

  Except for dwarves, goblins, and half-elves, who are weak and can only rely on the Glorious Empire, there are only four alien races that can really pose a threat to humans: the trolls in the north, the elves in the east, and the naga in the south. and the Orcs of the West.

  The elves have long since disappeared in the Moon Forest, so the eastern border of the empire is actually the most stable now.

  Nagas are an amphibious race. Being away from water sources for a long time will make their skin dehydrated and cracked. Therefore, their harm to the southern border is limited to daily plunder. At most, they occupy some coastal beach areas, and the threat is not great.

  The trolls in the north were once a great threat, but under the strong suppression of the northern border, they can no longer make any waves. Now they only dare to hide far away in the northern part of the sky ice field to survive.

  Only the orcs in the West have always been a serious problem for the Glorious Empire.

  If the other three major alien races do not have an absolute advantage in force compared to humans, then the orcs are different. An ordinary orc soldier basically requires three or four human soldiers to deal with it.

  As for professionals, orcs believe in the God of Destruction, and their god’s favored profession is skull crusher. Their strength is far superior to that of human knights of the same level, and they are completely invincible at the same level.

  Fortunately, although the orcs are superb in terms of force, they are very weak in intelligence.

  Therefore, the development of the Orc civilization can be said to be at the bottom of the five major races. It is still a loose tribal form, fighting with each other, and it is difficult to form a joint force.

  But there are exceptions to everything. In the history of the orcs, there have been many heroes with outstanding talents. Thanks to their efforts, the orcs have had two brief periods of unification.

  Also known as the First Empire of Orcs and the Second Empire of Orcs.

  Once the orcs were unified, the orc army formed, which was definitely the most terrifying existence on this continent. After the last orc second empire was established, the Orc army marched straight in, and it took only three months to penetrate the Western Territory and annihilate Fei. The main army of the Flame Leader surrounded Yulong City.

  If Yulong City had not been able to be attacked for a long time and the contradictions within the Second Orc Empire that had been forcibly suppressed gradually became apparent, causing the human race to seize the opportunity and design the Second Orc Empire to fall apart, I am afraid that the master of this continent would have to change to another race.

  But after that, the Radiant Empire had been wary of the orcs, fearing that the orcs would reunify and even establish the Third Reich.

  Therefore, this time, the Warsong Tribe has risen strongly and has a tendency to unify the orcs. The Western Region immediately sent an expeditionary force across the Tianduan Mountains in an attempt to intervene with force to nip the danger in the bud.

  Bachelor Dao En also understood the importance of and stopped mentioning the matter of borrowing food. Instead, he asked: “What is the current situation of the expeditionary force sent by the Western Region?” “

  The Saint-Gerian family sent the expeditionary force in October last year. So far, no clear good news has come back, so it is difficult for me to judge what the situation is like in the west of the Tianduan Mountain Range.”

  Then, the two fell silent at the same time, obviously worried.

  After a while, Bachelor Daun spoke again: “Since Saint Gerian has repeatedly requested support from the central government of the empire, why has His Majesty never agreed?”

  Baron Heidegger smiled faintly and said, “Since the fall of the Second Orc Empire until now, in more than a thousand years, the Western Territory has submitted hundreds of requests for assistance to the Empire Central Committee. Each time they said which tribe was rising strongly and there were signs of unifying the orcs…

  Of course, the Empire Central Committee attached great importance to it at the beginning, and almost every city sent troops to support each time, but it was gradually discovered that the Saint-Grian family was just exaggerating and wanted the Empire Center to help them clean up the border troubles.

  Later, unless the threat of the orcs was confirmed, the empire center would not easily send troops to the Western Territory again.”

  Bachelor Dao En was also a little helpless. It turned out that the central empire was also afraid of the Western Territory’s free prostitutes.

  Baron Heidegger glanced at Bachelor Daun and then said, “Moreover, at that time, the chaos in the north had become apparent, and His Majesty might have wanted to intervene. But later, for some reason, he also left it alone.”

  Bachelor Dao En’s eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, Does the Menam family’s sending troops to the north count as meddling?

  ”Now that the northern border has been pacified but no good news has come back from the expeditionary force in the western border, your majesty should also make plans to send troops to support the Saint Gerien family.” “

  No.” Baron Heidegger shook his head, and his eyes became more worried.

  ”Why?” Bachelor Daun was confused. Regarding the matter of the unification of the orcs, he would rather believe it or not. He didn’t understand why His Majesty the Emperor was so dismissive.

  Baron Heidegger narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

  ”Because, someone wants to start another war!”
