Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 374 Dragon

Thick fog, ashes, and flames. The peaceful town that was once surrounded by green forests and still waters was now covered with ruins. The desperate residents leaned against the dilapidated houses with numb expressions, looking at the monster in the center of the town.

On his handsome face were a pair of gloomy blood-red eyes, shoulder-length black hair, and sharp nails on his slender fingers like a pair of claws, making a crazy laugh.

Count Dracula is a monster that has wreaked havoc on the land of Genia for hundreds of years.

In the minds of the people in the Guinia region, he is an irresistible monster. This vampire count is not even afraid of the sun in the sky and can appear at any time during the day.

The witch who once protected the town has died, and the new witch has not yet grown up, so she can no longer provide protection to the residents of these towns.

Even the Demon Hunter Knight who guarded the Witch's Daughter was defeated by this Vampire Count. How could ordinary people not despair?

"Come, my enemy, descendant of my former adversary, come and kill me,"

The vampire Count, who was nobler than human nobles, looked at the Demon Hunter who was kneeling on one knee on the ground. A pair of blood-like wings pierced through his spine and grew to both sides. In an instant, he turned into a horrible monster similar to a human.

"Put the sword in your hand into my heart, just as your ancestors did hundreds of years ago, just as your grandfather did decades ago."

Sharp fangs emerged from the mouth of the vampire lord, and his pupils, which looked like solidified blood, emitted a rich red glow.

"Come and put an end to my eternal life that is out of reach for you mortals, or else you will die an unforgivable death!"

"What can you do?"

"The bloodthirsty monster is standing in front of you right now. What are your chances of winning? One in a thousand? One in ten thousand? One in a hundred million? One in a trillion? One in a trillion? One in a billion?"

The Demon Hunter slowly raised his head, pushed away the girl with green crystal eyes who was guarding him, and then stood up with the help of his sword.

"So what? Even if your will reaches the end of despair, it's still nothing to me. Don't bluff. Come on!"

The Demon Hunter Knight ran forward, his weak body leaping on the ruins, his sharp sword flashing with blue light.

Monsters and humans collided at this moment, sharp claws and bloody wings flapped and cut, blue swords slashed and cut, and in just a few seconds, dozens of steel clashing sounds were heard.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, that was the blood of the Demon Hunter.

In the final blow, the monstrous body of the Vampire Count turned into a sky full of shadow bats, which scattered and gathered again, and instantly reappeared behind the Demon Hunter, delivering a fatal blow.

"What an amazing human being indeed," the Vampire Count turned around and looked at the fallen Demon Hunter, his face returning to calm.

"It seems that you can't end my eternal life either!"

The little girl quietly walked over from the ruins. Facing the blood-sucking monster, although her trembling body betrayed her, her eyes like green crystals were full of calmness.

The peace of mind conflicts with the body's instinctive reaction to death, but this does not prevent the vampire Count from admiring the courage of this descendant of the witch.

"Mr. Vampire, if possible, I am willing to replace these people and exchange my life for their survival!"

The tender voice of the little girl Leila was heard, and she lifted the hem of her skirt with her hands and saluted gently towards the bloodthirsty monster.

"It is an unforgivable sin,"

The vampire Count looked with his bloody eyes at those residents who had rekindled their hope for life and the future, and laughed sarcastically.

"You once forced the priestess who protected you to burn my relatives and children to death, but now you want to let the innocent priestess bear the punishment for your foolish choice."

"You guys really deserve to die!"

The vampire lord scanned the entire town, then slowly extended his sharp claws and covered the head of the little girl who was trying to suppress her fear.

The girl Leila took off her favorite red hat, revealing her soft long golden hair, and took the initiative to put her head under the claws of the vampire lord.

The vampire Count looked at Leila's two golden ponytails and her innocent green eyes, and at this moment he hesitated.

At this moment, a strange sound was heard from the clouds in the sky, a sound that the people here had never heard before.

Even the vampire Count had never heard of such a strange yet strong vibration sound. It was like the sound of a millstone turning in a mill, amplified but more powerful, or like the sound of a stone heart pumping.

The strong sound was fleeting, and then the Vampire Count and all the residents turned their heads to look towards the green fields and grass outside the town.

On the mist-covered path in the forest, the sound of heavy horse hooves slowly approached.

Several tall strange horses carrying several strange knights came out of the mist.

Each strange horse was taller than an adult, with two curved spiral bone horns growing above the ears on both sides of its skull. Its eyes were as bright as golden lamps, and the breath from its thick nostrils was more obvious than the mist in the forest.

The thick hooves were like giant bowls in Haikou, which made people feel that even these strange horses could easily kick a powerful knight to death.

The strange knights on the backs of the strange horses were covered in fully enclosed steel armor. The edges of the steel armor were cold and severe. Two steel bone-horn-like decorations extended to the rear sides of the helmets of these strange knights, which looked very strange.

However, the woman at the head of this group of knights attracted all the attention of the public.

There is a pair of silver horn ornaments on the white gauze hat, and the long silver hair hangs down under the hat. The rich beauty is highlighted by the cold divine temperament, and the white gauze skirt is as dazzling as the skirt of a goddess.

Four knights rode their horses behind the goddess and stopped ten meters away from the vampire lord.

The cold goddess' beautiful and indifferent eyes swept across the ruined town, as if looking for someone familiar.

Unfortunately, she didn't find it, so she stopped.

An iron knight rode forward silently and looked at the stunned vampire lord.

"Are you the most powerful creature in this area?"

The Iron Knight's heavy voice came from under the visor, carrying the aura of a high-ranking being.

It was then that those people discovered that the heavy swords used by those strange knights hanging on the sides of these strange horses looked as huge as door panels.

These knights seem to be taller than an average adult just from their upper bodies.

The vampire lord frowned and became arrogant.

"How dare you speak to me in such a tone, human? I admire you very much..."

call out,
Before the vampire lord finished his words, the tall steel knight drew out the giant sword on his horse and threw it towards the vampire lord.

The Vampire Count's pupils suddenly dilated. Even this powerful blood-sucking monster that had survived in the world for hundreds of years was unable to dodge the Iron Knight's casual attack with his speed.

He could only instantly transform into countless shadow bats to avoid this silent attack that tore through the air.

But sharp and painful screams rang out in the shadow of the vampire. There were hundreds of scattered shadow bats, but all of them were locked in the shadow core by the giant sword. The shadow that expanded and collapsed instantly returned to the true form of the vampire count, and the huge blood wings drooped softly. The giant sword pierced through the body of the vampire count and nailed the monster firmly to the ground.

For the first time in his hundreds of years of life, the Vampire Count felt what it was like to be hit in the heart by a siege hammer.

The once incredibly powerful blood-sucking monster was pinned by the Iron Knight's giant sword. The knight then threw out the chain from the horse's back and put it on the hilt of his own sword, intending to drag the vampire count away like a beast.

"Damn, what kind of monsters are you?"

The Vampire Count felt that all his abilities were locked by a strange force, or force field, and his powers were now no different from those of a mortal man.

But these indifferent knights did not say a word, but followed the cold woman and turned around to leave the town.

The little girl Leila kept looking at the woman with her crystal clear eyes, and when these people were about to leave on horseback, she finally couldn't help but chase after them.

The two short legs with red boots were running very fast at this moment. Leila shouted to the back in front of her: "Please wait a moment..."

Hearing the little girl's cry, the beautiful woman gently stopped the strange horse under her, turned her head slightly, and looked at the little girl Leila, who stopped behind her breathlessly with her pair of silver gem-like eyes.

"Are you a friend of Grandma Leila's?"

The little girl Leila timidly held the brim of her beloved red hat with both hands to block her rapidly beating heart, and looked at the silver-haired woman in front of her with admiration and curiosity.

The silver-haired woman lowered her eyes silently, then finally turned around and looked directly at the little girl.

"I know you. I've heard your story from my grandma!" The little girl Leila said excitedly when she finally matched the beautiful face in front of her with the description in her memory.

Those green eyes were like the waves of life in spring, making the silver-haired woman's indifferent look become gentle.

"Is your grandma gone, little Leila?" the silver-haired woman smiled a beautiful smile, like an iceberg melting.

"Yes, Master Chris, Grandma Leila was afraid that you wouldn't recognize me, so she named me Leila."

Little Leila said timidly: "After my grandmother met the adults, she returned to her hometown to live out her life. Our family settled here and never accepted the invitation of those nobles to leave."

"I saw you today, and it was just as grandma said. You are as charming and radiant as ever!"

Chrissy Tiana sighed slightly, "It's been decades since we've been here."

Everything in the world, including life itself, has a different pace. Chris moves forward in her life, but becomes a story told by others.

A scene in the story happened to Chris, which touched her even more.

The little girl nodded, with a sense of nostalgia for the past and respect for the people she had admired as ancestors in the past.

Leila said excitedly, "I heard from Grandma Leila about your holy deeds. In the past, Grandma used to learn from you and wipe out evil in the world. I don't know how many werewolves, vampires, and ancient monsters died at your hands."

"Your Excellency has reappeared this time to eradicate all the evil in this world. Leila is willing to follow you like a grandma. Your Excellency, don't worry. Leila is very obedient and will quickly learn how to serve you!"

Chris shook her head and said with a smile: "I am not trying to eradicate evil, I just do it for the sake of convenience."

"For me, my goal more than ten years ago was just to find our leader and my love."

Leila blinked her eyes, gradually growing bolder, and asked curiously, "Grandma said that you are the most powerful and beautiful being in the world, so the lover who can be called a leader by you must be very powerful and beautiful."

Chris was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "He is indeed very powerful and handsome. No one of his kind that I have seen is more handsome than him."

"But Leila, a leader is not recognized for their power and strength, nor for their titles and appearances. That's just being a leader. A leader is someone who believes they can ignite the fire in others."

"Only a leader like this would make so many powerful beings like me keep tracking him."

The little girl Leila didn't understand yet. She just asked out of curiosity: "Do you love him very much, if he is as good as you say."

Chris thought for a moment before answering, "It's a little hard to describe it with the word 'I love him very much.'"

"In fact, I didn't spend much time alone with him, and my admiration for him wasn't as earth-shattering as described in the story."

"But I was always attracted to him. My love for him was as subtle and lasting as breathing and the pulse of a mortal, but it was not a love story that could be sung or sung."

"I will be happy if I hear about his deeds, and I will be worried if I don't hear about him!"

"It seems that he is really outstanding," Leila jumped up and down, and then said, "Sir, can you please save my guardian knight? Then I can follow you and leave with peace of mind."

Chris glanced at the sleeping Guardian Knight and smiled softly, "Don't worry, your Guardian Knight will be fine."

"But do you really want to leave with me, Leila? I am not here to eradicate evil, but to rule."

Leila's face became happier. She nodded and said, "I don't miss this place at all. Grandma said that if I like the responsibilities, I can take them. If I don't like them, I can get rid of them. I still want to see the outside world with adults."

"But you came here to rule, is it because you want to have great power and an invincible army like those nobles?"

Chris reached out her hand, lifted the little girl onto the horse's back and sat with her, then touched Leila's braids.

"Those things don't mean anything to me, so I'll describe them to you in the simplest terms."

Chris pointed to the distance and said, "There are always towers built on the seashore to guide the direction, and I came here to build a space-time star torch to guide the leaders of our country."

"All the lower planes closest to our world will be part of this huge plan. Once this Spacetime Astronomical Torch is established, our leaders will be able to find their homeland no matter how far away they are!"

Leila raised her little head and said loudly: "I will also help adults, even though Leila has no power now."

Chris's eyes lit up and she said, "It's okay, Leila, you can help me even if you don't have the power."

"Your willingness to help me is the reason why you became king. Are you willing to become the queen who rules this world and then help me!"

"Of course I would," Leila nodded her head vigorously. Although the little girl had no understanding of power and status, she was very happy to be able to help the adults in front of her.

"Then let's go, join us and start ruling the world!"

"Hey, are we just relying on you and these knights?"

Leila's big eyes were full of doubts. Even though she believed that the adult in front of her was the most powerful being in the world because of her grandmother's words and deeds, she did not think that the world could be conquered by just a few people in front of her.

Leila was very sensible and removed herself from the game. With her small arms and legs, even an adult could easily knock her down.

"That's enough. They are the loyal guardian knights of the empire, but they are also 'demons' who conquer the world!"

Chris looked at the other loyal silent knights and smiled softly, "And I am a dragon!"
