Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 230 Confusing the Public, Heading Towards the Main City
"Isn't doing this the same as exposing ourselves?"

"This is a bit unnecessary, Hean, what are you thinking?"

Hean is a chosen one of the gods and the captain of the pioneers of civilization on this journey.

Even Princess Helen mostly followed Hean's arrangements, let alone now that Hean was already at the fifth rank. That's why Potter raised questions after the first wave of vampires attacked the city.

Hean looked at Potter, his heart filled with helplessness.

Can I say that I did this to try and get better rewards for the 100-day simulation?
After all, many veteran players have already said the rules of the real game: war!!! Only by surviving each war will you get more rewards on the simulation day.

Of course, Hean's arrangements this time weren't entirely for the reward on the day of the deduction.

After all, having reached Tier 5, Hean had already gained the privilege of being a pioneer in the real game.

In other words, according to the deduction, he is now able to consciously descend into the game world.

Therefore, at present, Hean's game progress has actually entered the deduction day.

Hean's covert assistance to the Blood Hunters actually stemmed from another motive.

"It's fine to tell you now."

"Actually, my biggest consideration in making this move was to confuse the vampires and make them think that we were hiding in the blood hunters' ranks."

"Of course, this approach is also somewhat self-deceptive. After all, if the vampires can bribe people among the humans, they should also be able to know about the current affairs of the Dragon God Church."

"However, these things are no longer important!"

"Because this smokescreen has already been deployed, it can at least delay the vampires for some time."

"Moreover, reality is exactly as I guessed. The gods of this world must have discovered something unusual. Look, they have completely retreated after the second siege by the vampires!"

"Also, that huge thing in the sky has quietly retreated!"

Hean looked towards the distant horizon, while Potter and Helen both appeared deep in thought upon hearing this.

"If I'm not mistaken, Hean, you're planning to move to another place, right?"

Helen looked at Hernandez thoughtfully.

Hean smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

"Brighton is no longer a suitable place for us to stay."

"After all, this is the border, and there's the matter of vampires, so there will definitely be a lot of dangers here in the future."

"Therefore, Princess, don't you also want to continue developing your faith in the great city?"

"So, let's go straight to Sutton this time!"

Potter fell silent upon hearing this, while Helen responded with a smile.

"It's long overdue!"

"Our mission is to develop faith and to welcome the imperial army to 'save' this suffering world."

"Instead of indulging in personal heroism, our deaths are a minor matter; what is a grave sin is delaying the Empire's and the Great Dragon God's plans."

"Moreover, Brighton is certainly not in any major danger for the time being."

"After all, with the vampire raid this time, this area will definitely become the focus of the Blood Hunter Legion's attention from now on."

"Therefore, we really should withdraw and leave in time!"

"As for the church and property here, let the students take care of them!"

"The seeds of faith have been sown; everything else is insignificant now."

Upon hearing Helen's words, Potter suddenly had a thought and said:
"The church must be preserved as much as possible, but it cannot be left to students who have already taken the bloodline potion."

"We can't even leave it to students who know too much about us. The best way is to leave it to the registered students in my gangs to take care of."

"In this way, even if the Blood Hunters want to investigate something, they won't know much about us."

"As for if we go to Sutton this time, we can completely change the way we preach our faith."

Potter's words made both Hean and Helen glance at him again.

"It's rare to see you being so smart!"

Hean smiled and continued:

"Not only can we not keep the students who already possess extraordinary bloodlines, but we must also take some of the gang members who are close to us with us!"

"Once we arrive in Sutton, the Dragon God faith certainly can't continue to be promoted!"

"However, our Star Empire may not have much in the way of things, but it does have a great many gods."

"Well, in order of priority, do you think we should next proclaim the truth that is closest to the Dragon God, or death?"

Helen hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately replied:
"The god of death and the dead is not something that can be directly proclaimed in this world."

"After all, if this were to be publicized, it would have a somewhat cult-like connotation."

"I think the faith in His Majesty the God of Truth and Knowledge is quite good. If all else fails, I think it might be acceptable to promote the Storm Goddess, the main god who has recently been revived!"

As Helen finished speaking, Potter shook his head and said, "Goddess of Storms? That's not appropriate. She has just been revived, and His Majesty the Dragon God has not even met her yet. She cannot be considered an official member of the Pantheon of our Star Empire."

"Let's preach the belief in truth, I think that's a good idea!"

Helen looked at Potter, neither confirming nor denying.

After thinking for a moment, Hean nodded.

To be honest, Hean prefers to promote the god of death and the dead.

After all, the God of the Dead is a player!
It's easier to hug their legs.

Moreover, the belief in death and the dead is not actually that evil.

After all, the idea of ​​the Six Paths of Reincarnation is quite effective at fooling people.

However, since both Potter and Helen chose to uphold the belief in truth, he didn't mind.

After all, they've only just begun; they have plenty of time to spread their faith in different deities.

And speaking of the god of death.

Hean felt a little regretful.

If there were necromancers or even liches among the teammates this time, perhaps the mission would be easier?

After the three of them finished discussing everything, they immediately began to arrange for the core personnel to evacuate from Brighton.

This time, the evacuation must be swift.

Take nothing with you, and have everyone leave the city by the afternoon!

Just as Hean and his two companions left the battlefield of the giant wall, the seven Blood Hunter squad leaders on the giant wall had already gathered together again.

——————.

On the massive city wall, the seven Blood Hunter captains looked at each other in silence.

"Should you speak first or should I?"

"A Blood Hunter captain hesitated."

"It doesn't matter who speaks first. To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered something so bizarre in all my years of fighting vampires."

Blood Hunter Captain Lyman wore a complex expression.

"The second wave of vampire attacks just now involved no fewer than ten baron-level vampires, not the six we thought, but more than ten!"

"To be honest, I was completely desperate at first!"

"But, good heavens, not long after those vampires unleashed their blood mist domain, they all died without warning on their way to me."

"I only had time to see a flash of light, and then, guess what? The vampire's heart was pierced by an unknown force, and even the blood core was not spared."

Lyman still feels lingering fear when he recalls what happened.

The other squad leaders were mostly the same.

"Who says it's not?"

“My situation is not much different from yours.”

"Although the two baron-level vampires who were surrounding me did not die mysteriously immediately, just when I was about to give up and was about to ignite my blood, the two guys who were surrounding me spontaneously combusted! In less than three breaths, the two guys turned to ashes."

"Those screams still send chills down my spine when I hear them now!"

The captain involuntarily shivered; he was clearly terrified. "Strange!! So strange!!!"

"Who exactly is helping us? And why are they doing it in such a secretive way?"

A captain asked hesitantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Abby was about to speak when a female blood hunter captain spoke first.

"If, I mean if I'm not mistaken."

"In Brighton City right now, if we're talking about anyone who can help us, besides... have you heard of the Dragon God Church?"

"The Dragon God Church? What is that? Is it the kind of organization that fools ordinary people?"

"I've never heard of that. When have we ever had the time or inclination to care about the affairs of ordinary people?"

"Hmm, I think I've heard of that before."

"It seems that this so-called Dragon God Church currently enjoys a good reputation among the common people in the city."

Of the seven Blood Hunter captains, four were unfamiliar to me.

However, three people had heard of it, with Abby being the one who knew the most.

So, Abby was the last to speak, and she gave a bitter smile:

"The Dragon God Church has a good reputation not only among the common people."

“If you guys just go for a stroll in the civilian district, you’ll know what it means to be eerie.”

As soon as Abby said this, all six other captains turned their attention to him.

At this point, Abby revealed everything she knew.

In short, after hearing everything, all six Blood Hunter captains present fell silent.

"The city lord's men? That fat pig?"

"But if you say it's the big shot behind that fat pig, I'll believe it with a grain of salt."

"But the probability is not high, after all, that person is currently marginalized in the capital."

"There must be more to this story!!!"

Suddenly, Elana Calvin, the female Blood Hunter captain, spoke up.

"Furthermore, have you all noticed? This sudden attack by the vampires is very problematic?"

"???"

The crowd was puzzled, or perhaps they were deep in thought.

At this moment, Elana said directly, "This attack by the vampires clearly has the strength to launch a third attack."

"But as you have seen, in the end, all the viscount-level vampires, including the large number of vampire beasts and vampires that followed, all retreated."

One of the Blood Hunter captains was puzzled.

"What's the problem?"

"Aren't there reports of large-scale gatherings of vampires in border cities in other directions as well?"

"Besides, we attacked the enemy twice from our direction and failed miserably, even suffering a major defeat. It's not hard to understand why they retreated, is it? If I were in such a strange situation, I would definitely have retreated as well."

"Furthermore, the support team from the group will arrive in less than an hour, and the vampires will definitely be able to find out by their methods."

"So, with so many factors at play, it shouldn't be too hard to understand why the vampires retreated, right?"

As soon as the captain finished speaking, the other captains nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, Elana shook her head and said:
"Perhaps these factors are involved."

"But haven't you ever thought about this? Why is it that our insignificant little town was the first to be attacked by the vampires?"

"And are the reports of vampires gathering in other directions just reports? By now, have fighting really broken out in those places?"

"If not, or even if the vampires from the other directions have retreated, then that would be a much bigger problem!"

Very few people who become Blood Hunter captains are fools.

Hearing Elana say this, everyone suddenly realized something.

Abi went even further, saying, "So, Elana, you think these vampires are likely after the Dragon God Church?"

"No, to be precise, these vampires must have found out that our empire has made a new breakthrough in its research on the power to combat vampires, so they couldn't wait to come and test us?"

Upon hearing this, Elana looked at Abby and nodded seriously:

"Captain Abby, you're right, that's exactly what I was thinking."

"After all, you should have felt the power of this force."

“From beginning to end, we didn’t even find out how they made their move, but in terms of the result, the gains were frighteningly substantial.”

"Even if the team leader arrives and leads the team's elite blood hunters to hold their ground, it would be easy to defend against these vampire attacks, but it would be absolutely impossible to prevent any deaths!"

When Elana spoke of the undead, she was naturally referring to the fact that no Blood Hunter members had ever died.

As for the ordinary civilians defending the city, they did lose over a hundred men this time, but this loss can be considered a rare and minimal casualty.

"If that's the case, then this is a very serious matter!"

"Fortunately, the support from the team is arriving soon, so we can take this opportunity to inquire about it."

"At this point, I think the Imperial Research Institute has no need to hide anything anymore!"

"."

Everyone was talking.

Unbeknownst to them, while they were discussing these matters, and even later arranging for personnel to handle postwar affairs...

At this moment, Hean and his two companions, along with thirty-seven apprentice knights and sorcerer students, were heading towards Sarton, a border city of the Adams Empire.

The forty extraordinary individuals carried no supplies, nor did they travel by horse-drawn carriage or train.

Instead, they moved forward quickly using their own strength.

As for the other core members who were ordinary people, they were also heading towards the great city of Sutton in an orderly manner, according to Hean's arrangements.

However, after careful consideration, the three parties concluded that Sutton was still too close to the border.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the group ultimately decided to venture deeper into the interior.

Yes, the three of them plan to bypass Sutton and head directly towards Damian, one of the three major cities in the heart of the Adams Empire.

Before we knew it, a torrential downpour began.

It's located inside the Brighton City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the deputy leader of the Hummingbird Group was looking angrily at the mayor's office, which was now deserted.

"So, your mayor already traveled to the capital by car three hours ago?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

"I'll be the deputy leader of the Hummingbird Group," said Saian Ramsey, glancing at the receptionist in the mayor's office.

"Hmph, you're fast enough to run!"

"Although we don't have the right to question that official, this matter is of great importance, and the military will naturally inquire about it."

"And judging from the situation, this matter is very problematic!"

"I think that fat guy is definitely hiding something, and his father may not even know about it."

"However, since it's a church, the other party can't just abandon it too, can they?"

One of Sai'an's teammates analyzed it this way.

"Well, let's wait and see how Abby and the others are doing."

However, it was at this moment.

"Report!!!"

"Lord Sai'an! Those people from the Dragon God Church have also disappeared!!!"

"What???!!!"
