It was a small lake in the depths of the forest.
It was only two to three hundred square meters in size, but it was the favorite place of the surrounding forest beasts.
But here, even the most violent and ferocious beasts would become more docile. They came and left quietly, and the lake was filled with all kinds of creatures that came to drink water.
Deep into the night.
The tranquil surface of the lake seemed even more serene under the beautiful moonlight.
Suddenly, two black figures landed on top of a boulder in the middle of the lake. Their arrival immediately caused the bright moon hanging high in the sky to be covered in a layer of blood-red mist.
* Puff … *
Two strange muffled sounds could be heard. The two figures that descended from the sky turned into human forms and landed on top of the boulder.
"Soros, how are things on your side? Have you found any traces of that person? " The one who asked was a cultured middle-aged noble. His well-groomed mustache was exquisite and shiny, and his clothes were exquisite and noble.
He was Marquis Rother, who led an entire vampire family to seek refuge with Lady Mary. Thus, he was highly regarded by Lady Mary.
This time, the former head of the Rother family had brought almost all of his direct subordinates to hunt down the enemy's grade 3 witches. It was obvious that he was determined to get the promotion to grade 4. Naturally, he was also one of the strongest competitors of Soros, who had the most support.
"Hmph, if we found that person, do you think I would still be wandering around here?" Soros snorted, "These damned witches. Their combat skills are not that great, but they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. We have almost killed all of her subordinates, but she still hasn't shown herself. Hmph, a person who is willing to abandon her subordinates and escape alone, she better not let me meet her … "
Rother stroked his beard with his fingers and scanned the quiet forest with his scarlet eyes. He said calmly, "This time, we, the vampires, have destroyed two of the enemy's strongholds. It's not hard to imagine that the enemy's retaliation and counterattack will come soon. We don't have much time left … Lord Soros, why don't we work together? "
"Work together? How? "
"If we've completely surrounded this forest and blocked all possible escape routes, what's left is naturally a careful search and dragnet type of investigation. If we do things our own way, there will be a huge loophole in the search network, allowing them to constantly shift and evade our search. If we work together, one of us will guard the perimeter and the other will focus on finding the target … This way, the efficiency will be much higher! "Rother still had a gentle smile on her face.
Soros narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then … who is in charge of the perimeter and who is in charge of searching inside?"
After going around in circles, this was the question that both sides were most concerned about!
Rother was silent for a moment before she said, "Lord Soros is extremely talented. Even without the help of Kaiser Blood's Embrace, there is a high chance that he will advance to Tier-4. If that's the case, why don't you give this opportunity to me? Of course, I will definitely not disappoint you. I can … "
At this point, Rother's voice suddenly deepened as she transmitted a message to Soros.
Soros was naturally tempted by the promises and benefits offered by the other party. However, even if he was confident that he could advance with his own strength, he was not willing to give up an opportunity with a higher chance of success.
Moreover, if Soros advanced before him, he would have to bow respectfully to him in the future. Thinking of that awkward scene, Soros felt extremely disgusted.
The Vampires were very particular about seniority. Once the other party advanced to the next rank before the Vampires, their authority would be slightly higher than the Vampires. If he met Soros again in the future, he would forever be inferior to him.
Seeing that Soros was tempted, Rother gritted her teeth and sent another telepathic message to Soros. It was clear that she had promised Soros an even greater reward.
This time, his efforts were rewarded with Soros' silent nod of approval.
"If that's the case, then let's hurry up! If we drag this out, I'm worried that Count Randner's reinforcements will rush over and ruin our plans … "Rother was overjoyed and suggested impatiently.
"Don't worry, the enemy will at most send some low to mid level people over. As for that level 4 Witch … Hehe, she should just stay in her Wizard's Pagoda! "Soros laughed coldly.
He did not explain the reason, and Rother did not probe further.
However, from Soros' words, Rother could tell that the Kaiser must have passed on some insider information to the Blood Breeds that were under her direct command. Otherwise, he would not be so calm, as if victory was within his grasp.
Kaiser Blood was still closer to his own people …
Rother was extremely resentful, transforming into a black and red bat and flapping away.
… …
This is definitely Marilyn? This was the most difficult and dangerous time since Meng Na became a Wizard.
She carefully hid in the hollow of a tall ancient tree, more than ten meters away from the ground.
The entrance to the hollow was only the size of a fist, and was originally the nest of a squirrel.
But now, the squirrels were quietly crouching in a corner of the hollow, motionless, a strange Mind Rune slowly spinning in the depths of their eyes.
Meng Na, who originally had a perfect and tall figure, had shrunk to the size of a squirrel. She hid anxiously in the hollow, waiting for news from afar.
The dense forest outside was so quiet that she could hear the soft breathing of the squirrels and the thumping of their hearts. Every now and then, she could hear the terrifying sound of the strange creatures flapping their wings outside the tree hole.
This group of Vampires came so quickly and anxiously that they didn't even give Meng Na a chance to prepare.
If not for her accidentally discovering the hollow and controlling a few squirrels to act as her protective umbrella, the extremely weak ripples of the Shrinking Spell on her body would have long been discovered by the enemies.
She did not kill the squirrels.
She still needed the weak life force of the squirrels to conceal her own life force.
But at that moment, the Snake Eye Ring on her right pinkie shone slightly.
Marilyn? Meng Na hurriedly rubbed the Snake Eye Ring, and immediately an old woman's voice entered her mind.
"Meng Na, where are you now? Why didn't you return to the family? "
This was the voice of Sorceress Clara.
Hearing this familiar and 'intimate' voice, Meng Na's tears almost flowed out.
"My Lady, I've been blocked by the enemy halfway, I can't escape … Now, the enemy is searching everywhere outside of my hiding place. I estimate that they will find me in a few hours …"
"Hmph, you're too rash. How could you kill a level 3 Wizard so easily! "Sorceress Clara said in a low voice.
"My Lady, I was wrong … I won't do it again!"
"Hmph, it's good that you understand your mistake." Sorceress Clara was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "You've been with me for over five hundred years, I won't abandon you. Hide well there, I will set off from the nearest Wizard's Pagoda to rescue you. You must hold on until I get there! "
"Yes, yes … I … I'll definitely hold on!" Meng Na was so happy that she almost cheered when she heard that her master had not given up on her.
The light on the Snake Eye Ring slowly dimmed. It was obvious that Sorceress Clara had cut off the long-distance connection.
Meng Na hesitated for a moment, and could not help but write two mysterious runes on her palm, "Vision Avoidance" and "Mind Suggestion", letting them encircle the tree hole.
This way, even if a Vampire discovered the tree hole, they would subconsciously avoid it under the effect of the Mind Rune's suggestion. As long as it was not a level 3 Vampire, the other party would not be able to sense that their mind had been influenced by an external force.
…
Musta City.
Territory of the Randner family, Berkeley Province.
The tall Wizard's Pagoda in the center of the city suddenly shone brightly, the entire pagoda was enveloped in a brilliant and brilliant elemental light. In the dark night, it was like a beautiful firework, breathtaking from afar.
A moment later, the light from the Wizard's Pagoda dissipated.
The door of the Wizard's Pagoda on the first floor suddenly opened, and a group of Sorcerers, both male and female, flew out from within.
They had just stepped out of the door of the Wizard's Pagoda when the leader of the group, an old Sorceress, instructed in a low voice, "Hurry over, I'll make a move first!"
After saying that, without waiting for her subordinates to reply, the terrifying Sorceress, who had lost her ears and nose and only had a few holes on her body, rose into the air and flew quickly towards the dense forest in the distance.
Clara, a level 4 Sorceress, a Blood Meridian Wizard, was also a famous Wizard in the center of the continent.
At this moment, in order to save the Sorceress under her who had gotten into trouble, she had no choice but to run out of the headquarters of her family, teleporting to the Wizard's Pagoda that was closest to where Meng Na was trapped.
But before she could fly more than a thousand meters away, Sorceress Clara suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking up at the giant moon hanging high in the sky.
Unbeknownst to her, there was a blood-red hue flowing within the silver moonlight.
A layer of pale red mist covered the moonlight, causing the entire world to be glowing red, as beautiful as blood.
Sniffing the familiar scent of blood, Sorceress Clara's expression changed abruptly, becoming somewhat fierce and sinister.
"Mary, I didn't expect it to be you! Since you're here, show yourself! "
Following a series of crisp, bell-like laughter, Mary, dressed in red armor, slowly floated down from the sky, flapping her dark red bat wings. Behind her, the blood-red moon hung high in the sky, perfectly enveloping her figure.
