Black Rose Manor.
It was already late at night, but the manor was still brightly lit with people coming and going.
However, those who were able to enter and exit the manor were all strange fellows wearing strange robes and armor. Looking at the conspicuous metal badges on their chests, they were official Magi of the Randner family.
Numerous powerful wizard beasts were lurking around the manor, either in the open or in the dark. They formed a tight and powerful protective net, firmly protecting the manor.
At this very moment, in a sparse forest three miles away from the southwest corner of the manor, there was a strange nocturnal bat hanging upside down in the luxuriant canopy of the tree. Borrowing the cover of the leaves, it silently monitored the movements near the manor in the distance.
* Flap, flap, flap … *
A soft flapping sound came from the night sky, and three nocturnal bats the size of a human head, covered in black fluff, with strange scarlet pupils, descended from the sky and landed in an empty space in the forest.
After a series of strange transformations, three vampires dressed like nobles, two men and one woman, appeared on the empty space.
The vampire bat in charge of guarding the place hurriedly drilled out of the canopy and landed on the ground, also transforming into a delicate and pretty noblewoman, kneeling on one knee in front of the three, bowing her head in respect.
"Vilia greets Lord Spara, Lord Kevin, and Lord Steve!"
"Alright, get up! How long have you been lurking here? "Spara, the blood elf shapeshifter, stepped forward and asked coldly.
"Five days! Since the troops of the Randner family occupied Amman City, I was assigned here to monitor this Black Rose Manor. There are three companions with me on this mission, and they are scattered in several other locations … "This noblewoman had obviously just turned into a vampire a few years ago, and one could imagine the excitement in her heart when she suddenly saw Spara, who had the identity of a grade 3 vampire.
"Since you've been monitoring for so long, can you confirm the location of Grand Duke Antonell?"
"The security of the manor is extremely tight, and we can't find a chance to sneak in. The last time I saw the grand duke was three days ago, when he briefly appeared in front of a window on the second floor. I haven't seen him since then! "
"In other words, I can confirm that he is in this manor …" Spara took a few steps forward leisurely and looked at the brightly lit manor through the gaps of the sparse trees. A fierce look appeared on his face.
"Yes …" the Tier 1 Vampire, Vilya, replied timidly as she lowered her head.
"What about the manor's defenses? Who will host it? "
"According to our investigations, a grade 3 psionic from the Randner family is responsible for guarding this place. Also, two days ago, a Magus army that looked a little strange entered the manor. We haven't been able to find out their origins yet … "
"A Tier 3 …" Spara's expression turned even more ferocious when he heard this.
Not long ago, Blood Kaiser Mary had announced that she was going to pick out an elite among the few Level 3 Vampires who performed well and forcefully turn them into a Level 4 Vampire to strengthen the Blood Breeds.
The moment this news came out, the remaining seven Level 3 Blood Breeds in the family were indescribably excited. They wanted to dig out their hearts to show their loyalty to Kaiser Blood.
But with so many competitors, there had to be a standard!
Therefore, the sudden outbreak of the Magus War immediately ignited the passion of the Blood Breeds, causing them to throw themselves into the battlefield without a care for their own safety.
In order to gain more merit, Spara, who had the profession of Shapeshifter, rushed here with a few high-ranking Blood Breeds who were directly under him and a small group of Blood Breeds. He wanted to rescue the Crimson Grand Duke who was trapped in the enemy's formation.
Time waits for no man!
Once the news that Antonell was here spread to the family, there would definitely be a surge of people here, and it would be impossible for him to get all the merit points.
Thus, when he thought of this, Spara did not dare to delay any longer. He waved his hand, and the two high-ranking Level 2 Blood Breeds behind him hurriedly bowed.
"My Lord, what are your orders?"
"Kevin, Steve, the two of you lead a team and sneak into the manor from the side. If the enemy does not find you, enter the small building and search for traces of Antonell. If you are discovered by the enemy, fight and retreat at the same time. Remember, retreat to the southeast … "
"Yes, my Lord!"
"You can set off now!"
The two Level 2 Vampires nodded to each other, stood up, cupped their hands around their mouths, and let out a silent cry in the direction they came from.
After a moment, a strange soft flapping sound came from the air.
The two Vampires turned back into vampire bats in a puff of red smoke with a soft bang. They soared into the sky and met up with the main force. Under the cover of the night, they flew toward the Black Rose Manor in the distance.
In the blink of an eye, only Spara and the little Blood Breed were left in the field.
"Let's go. Take me to sneak in from another direction …" Spara said coldly.
The little Blood Breed, Vilya, trembled and hurriedly responded.
She stood up, and her body quickly twisted and transformed in a burst of red mist. She turned into a red-eyed bat and fluttered into the night sky.
The two strange figures, one big and one small, made a big circle and quickly approached the Black Rose Manor from another direction.
Hovering high in the night sky, facing the cold night wind that blew against her head, even though there was a thin layer of fur covering the surface of Vilya's body, she could still feel the bone-chilling cold.
Below them, a small human manor was unfolding before their eyes in an unconventional manner.
This was an extremely ordinary small manor.
The main body of the manor was a three-storey wooden building. Behind the building were some scattered wooden houses and storehouses, as well as a small plantation. In front of the building was a simple garden square. The circular fountain in the middle had already dried up, revealing the mud at the bottom.
A simple path paved with gravel extended from the entrance of the manor to the Amman City not far away. One could imagine that when this place was at its most prosperous, high-ranking officials, nobles, and ladies would ride carriages from the city to attend grand banquets.
Small manors and villas near the city were also the favorite places for nobles to seek pleasure!
However, following the outbreak of the Magus War, this place was completely different from before.
Powerful auras could be sensed at the various entrances and hidden places that led to the manor. Groups of wizard beasts patrolled the manor, and anyone who did not wear the family emblem would be attacked by the wizard beasts.
At the entrance of the manor, an elite team of Magi was guarding there, carefully inspecting every person who entered and exited the manor.
As for the three-storey building, it was shrouded in a strange fog. It was faintly discernible, and it was difficult to discern the situation inside.
Protection spell formation … The three-storey building had already been covered by a protection spell formation!
Vilya tried her best to flap her bat wings, resisting the incoming cold wind. Using a voice as soft as a mosquito's, she communicated with Spara, "My Lord, it's that small building! The location where it appeared last time was … "
Just as the two were conversing in a low voice, the silent manor below was suddenly awakened by a strange alarm.
The Vampire troops that had sneaked into the manor from the night sky had just landed when they triggered the alarm spell formation in every corner of the manor.
Following the ear-piercing alarm, the Vampire troops no longer remained hidden. Instead, they revealed themselves and quickly rushed towards the small building at the heart of the manor.
"Here …"
"In the sky … The enemy is in the sky …"
Following a series of loud shouts, groups of Magi and a large number of wizard beasts rushed over from all directions, quickly surrounding the Vampire troops that were rushing forward.
Left with no choice, the two Grade 2 Vampires could only bring over 40 of their subordinates and land in the sky, transforming into their human forms.
The battle immediately began!
"Be careful, they are Vampires! Be careful, don't get bitten by them … "
There were obviously some knowledgeable people in the enemy troops. In an instant, they were able to identify the Vampires from their clothing and the changes in their skills.
It was common knowledge that Vampires were powerful assassins with abnormal agility, and at the same time, they had almost immortal bodies. If they wanted to kill them, they had to attack their only weak point …
"Magi with close combat abilities, block them. The rest, use long-range spells. Remember, when you attack, aim for their heart. That's their real weak point! " The leader of the enemy troops shouted loudly. As he arranged his troops into formation, he took out his wand and began to condense powerful spells.
Vampire Magi were a hundred times easier to deal with than regular Magi, but they were still unable to become the mainstream in the Magus World. One of the main reasons was that the Magi had thoroughly researched their strengths and weaknesses. Hence, they came up with a lot of techniques and methods to deal with Vampire Magi.
"Strong Light!"
"Smelly Cloud? Change (Garlic Version)! "
"Static Field!"
One by one, simple and practical spells that were specially modified to deal with Vampire Magi were immediately smashed towards the Vampire troops. The Magi in charge of close combat also changed their weapons to silver weapons, or temporarily enchanted their weapons with strange spells that could restrain the Vampires' regenerative abilities …
With the help of these spells and equipment, even regular Magi would be able to deal a lot more damage to the Vampires. Moreover, the Vampire troops that appeared before them were all elites trained by the Randner family.
In the blink of an eye, the Vampire troops that Spara sent over were met with a head-on attack from the enemy. The moment both sides clashed, the Vampires suffered a double digit number of casualties. On the other hand, only three Magi who were close combat were injured and had to retreat from the battle.
However, the Randner family also lost close to a hundred wizard beasts. It was only because the wizard beasts were consumables that the leaders of both sides did not list them as casualties.
