Blue Hill City.
A large number of demon hunter knights gathered here, turning it into a bustling military camp.
Knowing that he could not compete with the demon hunter knights, Count Winlier, the governor of Blue Hill City, simply gave up his mansion and moved to the Rose Manor outside the city, living a life of seclusion.
But out of admiration for the demon hunter knights, he held some salon balls in the manor every few days and warmly invited the young knights to attend. In order to attract these young knights, Count Winlier even invited the most famous chefs from Heduran City, as well as many noble ladies and beautiful women in Blue Hill City. Every day, they would sing and dance, living a luxurious and happy life.
Enjoying delicious food and wine, surrounded by coquettish ladies, and listening to the flattery of rich merchants and nobles, those noble knights who had just experienced the bloody battle in the forest seemed to have found the meaning of life once again. They were completely immersed in a life of pleasure, leading a befuddled and dreamy life.
And Duke was one of them!
Born in a small noble family, he had the great dream of riding a magic colt and traveling the world with a sword since he was a child. His father, a small baron in the countryside, sold his only small manor and sent him to the training camp of trainee demon hunter knights.
Not only did he successfully become a demon hunter knight, but after fifteen years of arduous training, he unexpectedly became a magic-breaker knight.
With that, he immediately became the pride of the entire family, and the famous leader of the local Demon Hunters.
The success of killing evil people made him a firm defender of the demon hunter knights, and he also became a devout believer of the great holy knight Willis. Therefore, when the new evil war broke out, he also came here with his companions and joined the demon hunter knights last time.
A cruel and bloody forest battle made him see for the first time the horror of evil wizards. Every time he recalled the evil wizard beasts that swarmed like tides in the dark forest, and his poor companions that mutated into ugly ghouls, his heart would bleed, and his soul would tremble!
The first few nights after returning from the forest, he woke up from terrible nightmares every day, drenched in cold sweat and depressed. Almost all the knights who returned with him suffered the same sequelae as him.
Because of this, when Count Winlier held a lavish banquet and invited the knights to attend, the higher-ups of the knights who heard the news not only did not stop them, but also happily sent the traumatized knights over.
Perhaps the broken faith of the knights could be compensated with wine and food, and perhaps the defeat on the battlefield could be won back in bed.
In the spacious and bright banquet hall, there were handsome men and beautiful women seeking pleasure everywhere. Even the elderly were dressed immaculately, looking elegant and graceful.
Most of the beautiful ladies were wearing gorgeous low-cut dresses, revealing their snow-white backs and deep ravines on their chests. The men, on the other hand, were wearing exquisite aristocratic dresses or free and easy hunting suits. From time to time, they would hold goblets of wine and chat loudly or invite the ladies to dance.
Waiters in well-ironed uniforms pushed silver dining carts and placed exquisite food on a long table covered with a sky-blue tablecloth. This was for people of a certain status and position to enjoy. The table was filled with brass candlesticks, pewter cutlery, and horn goblets with silver rings.
Beautiful waitresses with flower-like smiles shuttled between the distinguished guests with silver trays, serving glasses of wine to the guests who were drinking to their heart's content.
At the edge of the hall, there was a small band playing hard. From time to time, some bards and dancers would sing and dance impromptu, further igniting the atmosphere in the banquet hall.
Outside the banquet hall, there were elegant and quiet corridors, parlors, arbors, fountains, lawns, and other places where men and women could have a heart-to-heart talk.
Behind the banquet hall, there were small bedrooms that were specially partitioned. Not only were the decorations luxurious, but more importantly, the soundproofing was first-class!
However, in this joyous moment of feasting, in a secret wine cellar in a corner of the manor, several dark figures were secretly gathered together, discussing something in low voices.
"Has the target been chosen? His Lordship is getting impatient! "
"Please report back to His Majesty, the target has been chosen. There are a total of three Magic-breaking Knights. Tonight, we will find a way to keep them here, when that time comes … "
"You must be careful. It was not easy to ambush you. His Majesty does not want you to be exposed too early, so you must be careful and arrange things carefully! "
"Yes, Lord Vulture, don't worry!"
"Yes!"
In the darkness, the few dark figures whispered to each other, and soon went their separate ways.
One of them suddenly turned into a furry shadow, flapping its wings soundlessly as it quickly passed through the shadows of the manor's many buildings. Soon, it came to an exquisite standalone two-storey building at the back of the manor.
Through an air vent left at the corner of the house, the black shadow entered the house, and then transformed into a slightly bald nobleman wearing an exquisite nightgown in the master bedroom.
As he gently pulled on a special thread at the corner of the room, the two doors on the side of the master bedroom opened. A group of beautiful maids quickly walked in, and quickly helped the nobleman change into a luxurious suit. The butler in a tuxedo also stood respectfully at the side, quietly waiting for the count's orders.
"Have all the guests arrived?" The nobleman raised his arms, allowing the maids to tidy up his attire as he asked with a nasal aristocratic tone.
"Yes, everyone is here! I've already sent people to take care of the few that you specifically ordered! "The butler quickly stepped forward and replied softly.
"Where is Duke now?"
"Just half an hour ago, he was chatting with the chairman of the Wade Merchant Group in the front hall, and now he's happily chatting with the sisters at the grape vines in the parlor!"
"Where's Baral?"
"Fifteen minutes ago, he was dancing with Madam Chevalier in the front hall, and now … He's in guest room 7!"
"Where's Drisek?"
"He's been drinking with Knight Thomas and Knight Raul in the side hall, and it's said that he's already drunk six bottles of grape wine. I've already sent another five bottles! "
"Mm! You've done well. "The nobleman nodded in satisfaction.
Just as the nobleman was about to step into the front hall, the respectful butler suddenly pulled him back.
"Master, I have another piece of news to report to you."
"Oh? What news? "The nobleman asked in surprise.
"Knight Collier is here?"
"Collier? You mean the Knight of Radiance, Collier? "The nobleman was shocked, and he blurted out. He then lowered his head and smiled sinisterly, and without hesitation, strode out.
Since even the Knight of Radiance had come, there was no reason for him, the master, to not show up!
Moments later, a banquet attendant announced loudly outside the door.
"Count Winlier has arrived! … … "
… …
Countless black shadows swayed, and countless wizard beasts roared …
Under the flickering light of the torches, the crowd ran at high speed, their heavy panting could be heard clearly.
Crimson clouds of fire rolled in the sky, and meteorites wrapped in scorching flames fell from the sky. Every time they fell, it was accompanied by a violent roar and blinding flames. Then, the forest started to tremble.
Every time this happened, even Duke couldn't help but shiver along with the forest.
Because what followed was a terrifying shockwave of flames and a blanket of tree debris, mud, and debris.
The meteorites that exploded in the sky would turn into a rain of fire, engulfing the entire forest. The only thing Duke could do was to put up an energy shield and use it to block the rain of fire. Amidst the tremors, he ran with all his might, and ran with all his might …
Suddenly, an ugly and nauseating pale monster leaped out from the bushes by the roadside, pouncing on the demon hunter knight in front of Duke, and started gnawing on him.
When Duke raised his rune sword with trembling hands, the ghoul suddenly looked up at him, crouched down, and leaped high into the air, pouncing on him viciously.
Looking at the terrifying fangs rapidly enlarging in front of him, Duke screamed and woke up from his nightmare. He sat up on the bed. The two naked ladies on the bed murmured a few words, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.
Duke wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked around the room. Only then did he realize that he was no longer in the terrifying battlefield, but in a warm nest. Duke couldn't help but smile as he recalled the crazy and charming moments of the first half of the night. He raised his head and wanted to lie back into the embrace of the beauty.
But for some reason, he had a vague feeling that something dangerous was lurking around him. But after enjoying himself with wine and beauties, even his consciousness and sensitivity to danger had fallen to the lowest point.
Just as he was at a loss and did not know where this strange fear came from, two red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness of the room. The red lights appeared very suddenly, and without him realizing it, they had already arrived in front of him and instantly attracted his attention.
For some reason, when Duke's gaze landed on the red lights, his thoughts stopped moving. Even though he felt something was wrong, his willpower that had been weakened by multiple methods could not withstand the invasion of the red lights.
Duke's face showed a painful expression, but he could not shift his gaze away from the red lights. As the strange fluctuations appeared in the red light, his mind sank deeper and deeper, and the expression on his face became calmer and calmer.
Finally, he became completely silent!
"Alright, Blood Lady, this guy is under my control! It's all up to you now. "In the darkness, a sweet female voice rang out.
"Hmm, thank you, Lady Phantom. When we get back, I will send the things you want to you as soon as possible. There are two more that I need to trouble you with! "Mary's voice also rang out in the darkness.
The female wizard named Phantom left the room, leaving the poor prey, whose mind and spirit had been enchanted by the illusion, to Mary.
For a long time, Mary only had a group of quasi-sorcerer vampires in Blue Hill City. She had never successfully tested it on a powerful demon hunter knight, not to mention a magic-breaking knight with a higher willpower and magic resistance.
So, taking advantage of this great opportunity, Mary paid a huge price to hire Phantom to help her break the defense of the magic-breaking knights and shake their willpower. This way, even if Mary's Embrace failed, under the cover of the illusion, the magic-breaking knights would only see it as a new kind of nightmare and would not easily expose the secret of the Rose Manor.
