Lords of All: The Moving Castle of the Dead

Duya Mountain, Byron's vampire lair.

In the gloomy and dark cave, the Byron vampire spread its huge bat wings and scurried around the cave as fast as lightning, constantly flying, speeding up the blood flow, and preparing for the night hunting.

There is a rotten smell that cannot be dissipated in the cave. On the damp ground, mummies whose blood has been drained are lying in random directions. Some have rotted, and some have simply turned into white bones. At a rough look, it is enough. There are thousands of them.

These corpses were all humans, beasts, and monsters captured by the Byronic vampires from various places. Obviously, the vampires had no intention of cleaning their "houses" and discarded the leftover food at will, leaving them to rot.

In the past, Byron vampires would go out to look for food after moving around, but today the situation was a little different. Instead of leaving, they landed on the stalactites, and their mouths kept emitting strange sound waves, stimulating the corpses below.

Under the constant calls of vampire Byron, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes.

They were a pair of dead white eyes without pupils. The blue-black blood vessels bulged on the long-dried corpses. The bodies of these corpses trembled and slowly got up.

The "resurrected" corpse walked unsteadily, swinging back and forth as if its joints were dislocated.

The bloody corpse of Byron.

A kind of half-magical, half-undead vampire creature created by using the poison in their blood.

They have no intelligence and are completely subservient to Byronic vampires.

Although they have no intelligence, Byron Blood Corpses have the eating instinct like wild beasts. Their thirst for blood drives them to seek out all living things around them and catch them to drain the blood.

What's even more frightening is that Byron's blood corpses can make themselves stronger and stronger by sucking blood, and the stronger they are, the more they thirst for blood.

Hunting again and again, Byron Blood Corpse's hunting skills will also be enhanced.

The long-lived Byron Blood Corpses are very good hunters, and their excellence is accompanied by boundless bloodshed and evil.

Thousands of Byron blood corpses were awakened by Byron vampires. Driven by Byron vampires, the blood corpses swayed out of the cave.

This process is not smooth. The newly revived Byron blood corpses do not know how to avoid at all. They often trip over the protruding rocks and have to struggle for a long time to stand up again. After leaving the cave, this situation becomes more serious. They can even fall off cliffs.

But after all, they are half-magical and half-undead creatures. They have long lost the sense of pain, and falling from a height will only make them struggle for a while longer.

The Byron vampire flew out of the cave of Duya Mountain like a bat and soared into the sky, forming a large black shadow under the moonlight.

They circled the Duya Mountain, screaming constantly from their mouths, using sound waves to control Byron's bloody corpse, driving them in the direction of their actions.

That direction is obviously the city of Sonderburg.

……

At night, on the outskirts of Sonderborg.

The lights have been extinguished, thick wooden boards cover the doors and windows, and the noisy world during the day has become silent. Even livestock will not make a sound at this kind of night.

High in the sky, black figures flew over one after another, spreading their wide bat wings and staring at the rough and simple houses hovering in the sky below.

A Byron vampire broke away from the group and landed on the ground. He turned his head and glanced back. There were dense figures swaying there. They were thousands of newly resurrected and hungry Byron blood corpses. They were swaying from Duya Mountain. Dang rushed over.

The Byron vampire who landed on the ground raised his claws with sharp nails, pointed at the simple house under the night in the distance, opened his mouth and emitted a sound wave.

As the order came down, Byron's bloody corpse, which was just wandering around, made a sound of "hehe" and "uh uh" from its mouth, and its speed suddenly increased, and it rushed towards the house in the distance.

The Byron vampires are tired of catching people one by one. They are hungry and want to party!

They have been to Sundberg many times and are already familiar with this place. The humans on the outermost side are not cared about at all. The people inside the city wall have better taste, but what they really covet is the humans behind the high wall of the inner city!

They want to taste the blood of those people.

Tonight, they came with bloody corpses. They wanted to break through the city wall, kill wantonly, and have a hearty meal. They wanted to get behind the high wall and taste the taste of the humans hiding behind the high wall.

The blood corpses approached the gathering place of humans in the outskirts.

They have the same problem as Byron vampires. Their eyesight is not very good, but their hearing is very developed and they can hear small noises.

The delicious smell of blood coming from behind the "wood" stimulates the bloody corpses. Hunger makes them restless. Their thick and long black nails scrape on the wooden board, making a pricking sound.

When the people in the house scream due to the scratching sound, Byron's bloody corpse will receive the signal and frantically bang on the doors and windows to launch an attack.

The attack of a Byron Blood Corpse will attract the attention of its companions, and more Byron Blood Corpses will follow suit.

Whenever a door or window is broken, it is the beginning of a cruel feast.

It doesn't take too long to suck up human blood. Often four or five blood corpses will pounce on it, and in three or two minutes, a human can be sucked dry and turned into a mummy.

The large-scale attack caused chaos in the suburbs. More and more people were frightened and screamed. What was waiting for them was to be sucked dry of blood by the bloody corpses.

This is a massive offense, it's not a "hide and seek" night.

As more and more people were killed, blood appeared on the corpses from time to time, and the blue-black blood vessels on the body became thicker and thicker. This was caused by them absorbing the energy in the blood.

Some people have realized that something is wrong. Normally, it would not be so chaotic outside. The blood-sucking monster would leave after catching people. It would be the same as today.

They realized that they might not be able to escape today, so they searched for various weapons that could be used at home, such as kitchen knives, axes, forks, everything, as long as they could be used as weapons.

But when the blood corpses rushed into their house and they raised their weapons to fight, they sadly discovered that they had underestimated the fighting power of the blood corpses.

The skin of these guys is like treated animal skin, dry and hard, as if they are wearing a layer of leather armor. Even if you use all your strength, you can just cut a kitchen knife into it.

But the kitchen knife that went in had no effect. The blood corpses didn't care about this minor injury at all. They only longed for blood. The blood would heal their injuries and make them recover as before.

More and more houses were breached, and more and more people died in the mouths of the blood corpses. The blood corpses became stronger and stronger. The bodies of those who ate the most became visibly stronger and no longer looked like withered bodies. , becoming like a muscular man.

The screams of women, the cries of children, and the roars of men kept ringing out, but they soon became quiet. To the bloody corpse, each room was like a blind box, no, a gourmet box. , filled with delicious food.

The blood corpses ate to their heart's content, and even kept making excited roars while eating.

The Byron Blood Corpses are happy, but the Byron Vampires are not happy. What they want is the nobles in the inner city, not the humans in the outer city who don't even have much blood.

The Byron vampires kept screaming in the air, urging the bloody corpses to move forward quickly and not waste time here.

Although reluctant to part with the delicious food blind box in front of them, the bloody corpses must respect the orders of their masters. They swayed out of the simple houses, with blood on their mouths and fingernails, gathered on the street, and continued to move forward.

Passing through the suburbs is the outer city wall of Sonderborg City. This is the first line of defense. If you break through the city wall, you can enter the slums and civilian areas.

It is difficult for blood zombies who cannot use tools and rely on instinct to break through the city gate. It is also extremely difficult to directly climb the city wall. The new blood zombies do not have the ability to climb the wall.

But fortunately, in addition to blood corpses, there are also Byron vampires!

They had already flown to the top of the city wall one step ahead, hovering in the air, waiting for the arrival of the army of blood corpses below.

The guards on the city wall had long discovered something unusual in the suburbs. Not only were fires burning there, but there were also faint shouts.

Who doesn't know that it is necessary to be quiet at night to avoid attracting the attention of monsters? Even the shouts that can be heard on the city wall, you can tell with your toes that something is wrong.

The patrolling soldier immediately reported the situation. The captain rushed out of his warm bed and climbed onto the city wall. He did not look at the situation in the suburbs, but looked up and saw the black shadows flying from the suburbs, hovering above his head.

Hundreds of black shadows looked like giant bats in front of the huge full moon.

The soldier captain recognized them immediately. Those were vampire monsters. They usually came sneakily, snatched people and ran away. This time, they actually appeared in groups. This scene made the soldier's scalp numb.

He didn't dare to hesitate at all, so he immediately woke up all the soldiers in the barracks on the city wall, asked them to put on their armor, pick up their weapons and climb up the city wall.

There will definitely be no peace tonight, those damn blood-sucking monsters are planning to attack the city.

Vampire monsters will come to attack the city every once in a while, and each time they attack the city, there will be a large number of casualties.

They manage the city walls pretty well, but the key point is that inside the city, the blood-sucking monsters will not attack the soldiers on the city wall foolishly. They will use their flight advantage to rush directly into the city to plunder and kill ordinary humans. The real trouble is in the city. soldiers, they are the front line in the battle against the blood-sucking monsters.

In order to deal with blood-sucking monsters, large crossbows are specially installed on the city walls. City defense soldiers can use crossbows to kill the blood-sucking monsters in the sky.

Soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons rushed up to the city wall. There were not many, but there were more than two hundred people.

The large crossbow arrow was also pushed out, and the angle was adjusted to aim at the blood-sucking monster in the sky.

"trigger the alarm!"

After the soldier commander completed preparations, he immediately ordered the alarm.

Dang Dang Dang——

The bell rang, and was quickly echoed by several other city walls, and then the bells in the city also rang.

Normally, a single vampire monster does not need to ring the bell. Living under the threat of vampire monsters all year round, people have become accustomed to two or three of them.

Whenever the bell rings, it means that a large number of blood-sucking monsters are coming, with the number at least one hundred or more.

In the face of a large-scale invasion by blood-sucking monsters, simply hiding is no longer of much use. Sundburg City has experienced several invasions and has accumulated a lot of experience.

First of all, the soldiers in the city, as well as the city guards and militia, must all be armed. This is an all-out mobilization to fight to defend the city.

Secondly, residents usually stock up on fire starters in fixed places just to deal with the blood-sucking monsters.

The people of Sundburg thought that the Byron vampires were afraid of the sun, so they were probably afraid of light. Using flames should be effective, so when the bell rang, they started to light fires, and the burning fires would make the whole city burn. become brighter.

Next is the collective hiding spot.

There are specially set up collective shelter points in civilian areas to gather everyone together, which is convenient for defense. Such shelter points are usually set up underground and reinforced above to prevent sound from spreading out.

There are shelters in the civilian areas, but in the slums, you can only ask for your own blessings. No one will care about their life and death, or in other words, they deliberately don't care.

The city's rulers have long understood that it is difficult for them to stop vampire monsters. Those guys are too difficult to kill and it is impossible to protect everyone. Therefore, some people are destined to be abandoned, and the poor are the best ones to abandon. object.

They are baits, sacrificed to the Byron vampires. Let them eat and leave quickly without harming civilians too much.

Everyone is ready, waiting for the blood-sucking monsters to rush into the city like they used to attack the city.

At this time, a soldier inadvertently turned his head to look outside the city. In the darkness, he vaguely saw a figure walking towards the city wall.

He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. There were indeed people. The walking posture of those people was very weird and crooked, as if they were injured or had some disease.

"Hey, look, it seems someone is coming." The soldier touched his companion and pointed outside.

"where?"

"Just outside the city."

"Let's see, there are really people there. Are those guys from the suburbs running over?"

"Maybe, look at the way they walk, it's so strange."

"It's indeed quite strange."

"Should we let them in?"

"I feel like we won't let them in. The blood-sucking monster is in the sky. How can we open the city gate at this time? But the captain of the army has the final say on this matter. Let's just report it."

"Well, you're right."

The soldier reported the news, but the captain just lay on the wall and looked outside, and ignored it.

It's not like this has never happened before. People in the suburbs rushed into the city as if they were fleeing collectively because they were afraid of the blood-sucking monsters.

But now the city is facing even more danger. There are hundreds of blood-sucking monsters. The soldier captain doesn't believe there can be as many blood-sucking monsters as there are in the suburbs.

Let them in?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

If they don't let people shoot them to death, it's already considered good.

Just in time, I hope these guys can attract firepower, and it's best if the blood-sucking monsters capture these guys.

The soldier captain thought so.

The captain of the soldier did not realize that the guys walking towards the city wall outside were not people from the suburbs at all, but a group of Byron blood corpses who were thirsty for blood and were the main force in attacking the city this time!

Just as the bloody corpses were getting closer to the city wall, the Byron vampires also launched an attack.

Uncharacteristically, they did not fly directly into the city, but rushed towards the city wall one by one.

"What's going on? Why are they coming at us? Crossbows! Shoot, shoot them quickly!"

"Don't let them come at you!"

Upon seeing this, the soldier captain shouted in panic and ordered his soldiers to attack quickly.

Unfortunately, the Byron vampire was too fast, and it was extremely flexible when flying in the air. His body appeared and disappeared, left and right, making it impossible for the soldiers to aim, and the crossbow arrows they fired were almost impossible to hit.

After dodging the crossbow arrows that could hurt him, the Byron vampire rushed up to the city wall with a scream. After knocking over the soldiers with his tall body, he wreaked havoc on the city wall with his sharp claws.

Blood stained the city wall. The unlucky soldier was targeted by the Byron vampire at the first moment. He had an expression of disbelief on his face until he died. He couldn't figure out why the vampire monster would abandon the city and suddenly attack the city wall...
