The Original Vampire

As night fell, bonfires lit up at the bend of the rushing river.

After a fierce battle, mankind finally won the final victory.

It was a crushing victory.

The original team of more than 1,000 people suffered casualties, and everyone who survived was injured.

However, after this battle.

The momentum of this group of miscellaneous soldiers has changed qualitatively, as if after the baptism of blood and fire, there are signs of transformation to the regular army.

There was a strong smell of blood in the camp, and all kinds of mutilated corpses had not yet had time to clean up.

But the people who survived the catastrophe didn't care. While enjoying the rare hot food, they boasted of their heroic performance during the day.

Thrall did not participate in the heated conversation of his companions, but picked up a bunch of grilled herring and walked towards the tent in the center of the camp.

His left foot seemed to be injured, and it was quite difficult to walk with a limp.

However, such minor injuries are no longer a problem in this camp.

Outside the tent stood a knight whose upper body was covered in bandages.

Thrall knew that this was the knight of the Angele family, and it seemed that his name was Raymond.

The knight was leaning on a long sword, his head was half lowered, his eyes were closed, he seemed to be repenting, and he seemed to be praying.

Thrall passed him, and he didn't respond, like a sculpture.

"Miss Vera, do you want something to eat?"

"no need."

Vera didn't look back, just softly refused.

Thrall quietly raised his head, but only saw Vera's beautiful back and her long snow-white hair.

"You have to take care of your body, you must eat something..."

Thrall was still persuading, but Vera still didn't respond, just stared blankly at the man who seemed to be asleep in front of him.

That man was naturally Colin.

However, at this time, Colin was not pretending to be dead to win sympathy.

But he really fell asleep.

After all, the injury suffered before was too serious, and the blood loss was too much. Of course, maybe I was stimulated by the last scene that was not suitable for children...

In short, Colin fell into a deep sleep.

If it wasn't for him still breathing, I'm afraid everyone would think he was dead.

With such a terrifying injury, no one thought that Colin could survive.

In fact, in the eyes of everyone, it is a miracle that he can persist until now.

Only Vera was still unwilling to give up, she still helped Colin to bandage the wound and took good care of him.

It seems that she found that Colin's lips were a little chapped, and Vera quickly dampened some water with a gauze and gently wiped it on Colin's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Thrall was full of jealousy, and even wished that it was himself who was now lying in bed and being taken care of by Vera.

"Miss Vera, let me take care of Knight Colin, you can take a rest."

"No." Vera rejected Thrall's kindness again, and waved at the same time, signaling the mercenary to leave.

Thrall had to bury his disappointment deep in his heart and withdrew from the tent.

"Meow~"

Xiaobai got out of nowhere, leaned over to Colin, and licked his cheek lightly, as if he wanted to wake up his "human slave".

Vera put down the veil and stared at Colin's bloodless face for a long time.

Afterwards, she crossed her hands and clasped them in front of her chest, actually making a prayer pose.

"O all-powerful Lord of Glory, please have mercy on this brave and fearless knight!"

This was Vera's first prayer in her life.

Perhaps, this is also the first mage to pray to the Lord of Radiance.

"If I can be fortunate enough to witness your grace and kindness, then, in this lifetime, I will serve you forever!"

This female mage, who pursues arcane truth as her lifelong pursuit, is willing to do it for a man at this moment.

Offer your faith to the gods!

I don't know if the Lord of Glory has heard the mage's prayer?

Are you willing to accept the conversion of such a heretic?

There is no beam of light falling from the sky.

There were no angels who suddenly appeared.

Colin did not miraculously wake up.

As if nothing happened...

Only Bliss Knight, who had just walked outside the tent, suddenly stopped. He seemed to realize that he might have heard something that he shouldn't have heard.

After a long time, when there was no sound from the tent, Bliss took another step and walked in.

The Cavaliers are now also seriously injured.

His entire right arm was severed, and his body was covered in bandages with blood oozing from it.

However, he still had that calm and indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about his injury.

"Miss, the casualty statistics have been preliminarily completed. In this battle, we lost 428 soldiers, and more than 350 were seriously injured. The rest are basically minor injuries..."

Vera had no idea about such casualty statistics, and just listened quietly.

However, for a veteran like Bliss Knight, this battle is definitely a miracle.

You must know that such a ratio of battle losses, even in the most elite regular army, is enough to make the army completely collapse.

However, these miscellaneous soldiers of the River Bend Camp fought stubbornly to the end and won.

Perhaps there is Vera's credit here, after all, her identity has enough appeal.

But Bliss is very clear that there is more here, but Colin's last-ditch strategy is at work.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ke Lin on the bed with admiration and regret, and continued to ask:

"Miss, what should we do next?"

Hearing this question, Vera was a little dazed: "What's your opinion?"

"At the beginning, there were two wolf cavalry troops that chased us to the River Run, and although we have just defeated one of them, we are not completely out of danger.

Because the other wolf cavalry was confused by our arrangement and had already crossed the river, but it must soon find out that something is wrong and turn back.

However, the great victory we have just won will definitely make the other party hesitate, unable to figure out our specific strength, and dare not chase after us to fight us easily.

Therefore, my opinion is to continue to stay at the river bend, and then send messengers to the nearby cities to request reinforcements.

As long as our reinforcements arrive before the trolls can gather more pursuers, we'll be safe. "

Vera was a little silent.

She could hear the uncertainty in Bliss Knight's words, but she couldn't come up with a better idea.

At this time, she naturally turned her gaze to the sleeping Colin.

If he could wake up, there must be a better way...

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Yes!"

After leaving the tent, Bliss walked with his head down.

He was thinking about which directions to send messengers for help, and how could he not be intercepted halfway by the trolls...

"Tattoo..."

Bliss was interrupted by the sound of hooves. He looked up and saw two cavalrymen rushing towards the camp.

He quickly recognized that one of them was the cavalry he had sent out to guard the surrounding area, but he did not know the other.

However, he recognized the armor on the other side!

This pure black standard armor, the entire Radiance Empire has only one army equipment——

Black Cavalry!

Bliss was overjoyed and couldn't help but look back to the direction of the camp where Vera was, and a thought flashed in his mind:

Could it be that the Lord of Glory really answered the lady's prayer?
