“That fellow Baron Burke… If it were not for Marquis Charles’s orders to support him, I would have never done this profitless matter. After being burned, Sieg Pier must be in ruins now.”
Viscount Carlisle rode his war-horse, complaining to himself all the way. The trusted subordinates behind him didn’t dare to respond in fear that he would vent his anger on them. They had followed Viscount Carlisle for many years, so they were well aware that he liked to take cheap advantage of others. This time, he had been forced to dispatch troops without any benefit. Naturally, he would be dissatisfied.
When his troops arrived at Sieg Pier, they discovered that it looked brand-new. There weren’t even any ongoing constructions. It was as if nothing had happened, and the raging fire had been a groundless rumor. Other than the completely fine Sieg Pier, Carlisle saw several combat-ready defenders. In just a few days, the defending troops had built a three-meter tall wall around Sieg Pier manned by strange-looking defenders. Entirely wrapped with white bandages, they wore strange wolf masks. Although the flags hanging on the wall indeed represented Steinbeck Fief, the defending troops appeared too strange. The Human Race of Ximengsi Continent had never seen mummies, so they couldn’t recognize the defenders, only feeling an inexplicable chill.
In the periphery of Sieg Pier, the warship fleet originally under Earl Winissa had already fallen into the hands of the defending troops. Various long-ranged weapons faced Sieg Pier. If Viscount Carlisle’s army took a step forward, they would be bombarded with attacks. Viscount Carlisle sweated profusely. From his visual estimates, there were over 10,000 defending troops in Sieg Pier. If his side attacked, it was unknown if his side could win. Even if his side won, it would be miserable, and he would suffer at least 60-70% casualties.
“I #@￥%! That fellow Baron Burke tricked me! Retreat… All troops should retreat to Osi Castle!”
Looking at their tight defense, the other side had obviously prepared long ago, waiting for an enemy to come and court death. Viscount Carlisle realized the situation was not right and immediately issued a retreat back to their headquarters. Fortunately, he was not chased. The army defending Sieg Pier was not a human army but rather a different world’s monster army led by Undead Queen Lafania and her younger sister Cursed Queen Mephis. Although they were all undead soldiers, since they were wrapped in a white bandages, it was difficult to discern their true identities from a distance.
“Big Sister Lafania, should we pursue them? That human army looks so weak. I’ve looked forward to meeting them for so long in vain!”
“Sister Mephis, Master instructed us to guard the pier. There’s no need to pursue them. Don’t go against Master’s instructions. Forget it. That poor fellow probably doesn’t even know that his house has already been stolen.”
“Stealing a house! So that’s how it is! No wonder that I don’t see Lord Lucifer’s cute kin.”
Undead Queen Lafania and Cursed Queen Mephis stood in Sieg Pier’s watchtower while happily chatting. Before Clyde had headed out, he had intentionally arranged for the monster army to guard Sieg Pier to prevent their headquarters from being stolen by the other side. From the beginning, sneak attack tactics had been useless against him because he had a lot of hidden monster armies as precautions against contingencies.
Osi Castle, the stronghold of Viscount Carlisle.
Only a thousand or so soldiers had been left behind to guard it after the Viscount had set out with his army. This fellow was much more cautious than Baron Burke and knew the importance of guarding his house. However, a bloody mist suddenly surrounded Osi Castle, sending the defending troops into a chaotic panic. During the daytime, if a city were suddenly shrouded in a bloody mist blocking the sunlight, most human soldiers couldn’t bear such a terrifying scene. Many threw their helmets and armor to the ground and fled.
“Why are you all panicking? Such an insignificant scene! Whoever makes a fuss will be dealt with according to military law. Ah!”
“There are… monsters!”
The captain was attacked by a Bloodkin before he could finish speaking. Quite a few bats behind him suddenly turned into a black entity that gripped the captain’s shoulder and bit into him. The captain instantly died on the wall with blood spraying from his neck. When the defending troops saw their captain’s death, they were so scared that all of them immediately scattered. They didn’t dare to turn around and determine what monster was attacking them. In the chaos, a large number of defending troops were assassinated by the Bloodkin.
During this expedition, Viscount Carlisle had brought along the womenfolk of his family. Besides his wife, his daughter Miss Kana was in Osi Castle. These beauties were shrouded by the bloody mist and restrained it, but Miss Kana could still move as a substitute member of Light Church’s Holy Knight Regiment. She had received a holy blessing and was partially immune to a Bloodkin’s innate magic. When she realized the perilous situation and reached for her weapon, a sexy Bloodkin countess captured her mother, the viscountess, by the neck. She then revealed her fangs and stuck out her long tongue to taste the viscountess’s skin.
“Little sister, don’t move randomly! Otherwise, I might accidentally do something!”
“Despicable! You… let her go!”
“Put down your weapons, and I will release her!”
Although she knew that the other party had evil intentions, Miss Kana was helpless. During her brief hesitation, a few senior Bloodkin seized this chance and subdued her from behind. Caught unprepared, she was unable to use her weapon until the end. With the defeat of Miss Kana, Viscount Carlisle’s temporary residence was captured by the Bloodkin. All the defending troops were killed, and only the womenfolk captured alive.
Under Lucifer and Clyde’s control, these Bloodkin didn’t start a wicked, erotic blood feast like they would after a hunt in the past. Instead, they only captured these war trophies. As a result, these womenfolk avoided being sucked dry into withered corpses like those defending troops. It was unknown whether this was truly good fortune.
When Viscount Carlisle fled back to Osi Castle with his army, he found a strange castle shrouded in a bloody mist. His thousand defending troops’ fates boded ill rather than well. Viscount Carlisle was in an awkward situation. He had truly “tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.” He had failed to capture Sieg Pier and also lost his stronghold, Osi Castle. A mysterious monster army had captured his house.
“Lord Viscount Carlisle, should we attack? It shouldn’t be a great issue!”
“Retreat! Retreat south to Taylor Pier. Lord Marquis Charlies said that he would dispatch a fleet to assist us. We should retreat to the center of the Needham Plains and join with Lord Marquis Charles’s troops. This place doesn’t matter.”
“ Lord Viscount Carlisle, the Madam and Young Miss are still in the castle, if you retreat like this…”
“They must have died in action! Treat it as if they have already died in battle. We can look for other women after we retreat. Retreat!”
Viscount Carlisle was heartless, choosing political interest over family. In any case, after returning, he could always look for other women. If his troops died in action, he would lack any political bargaining chips, and Marquis Charles would ruthlessly throw away such a valueless subordinate.
On the wall, the viscountess, Miss Kana, and the other womenfolk helplessly watched the Viscount’s troops turn away without any hesitation. As a result, these womenfolk turned downhearted. If not for these Bloodkin using their secret magic to seal them, they would have definitely found a way to commit suicide to avoid this humiliation.
“As I said before, men are all fickle, but you all didn’t believe me. Hereafter, serve as Master Lucifer’s blood servants at ease!”
The Bloodkin countess snapped her fingers with a smirk, and the Bloodkin maids immediately took a step forward and neatly ripped the armor, equipment, and clothes of these war trophies to shreds, leaving only their thin undergarments. Afterward, they used red ropes to bind them in shameful postures with a tortoise-shell binding method. A chill made these white lambs recognize the danger. With most of their bodies exposed to the air and their hands bound together with red rope, they couldn’t resist at all.
“What do you all want to do? The Light Goddess will never forgive you!”
“Miss Kana, you don’t seem to know your plight! From now on, you are a war trophy, not a noble lady!”
The Bloodkin countess showed a strange smile. She then gently pressed Miss Kana’s chest and grabbed her golden cross necklace that the Light Church had blessed. When the countess grabbed it, white smoke sizzled into the air as the Light Church’s blessing resisted.
The countess’s rank was relatively high as a direct kin of Lucifer. She frowned and yanked the necklace, ignoring the holy power and snapping its chain. Once the cross broke in front of Kana, she turned pale in fright. As a candidate for Light Church’s Holy Knight Regiment, her faith had been shattered by the other party. The countess whose hand had been corroded by the holy power quickly recovered as if nothing had happened.
“This small amount of light cannot illuminate the darkness! Miss Kana, do you understand your position now? Don’t be afraid! Our Bloodkin have certain principles. The obedient lambs will not suffer.”
The countess skillfully lifted Kana’s smooth chin and observed the panic and restlessness in her eyes. She then took out a strange red ball. Now, Kana’s previous stubborn arrogance had been erased with the destruction of the holy cross necklace, the symbol of her faith. She willingly opened her mouth and let the other party place it within her mouth. The countess noticed a strange water stain on Miss Kana’s white panties. Apparently, she had lost control from fright.
“Really! This small play frightened you so much. Later, you will certainly suffer!”
The countess smirked and slowly stretched her hand, ignoring Kana’s shaking head and pleading expression. She used an air blade along her fingertip to cut through the final cloth covering up Kanna’s embarrassment, turning her into a completely bare white lamb. After a short while, these lambs were connected together with a red rope tied around their waists and taken away. Their eyes were also covered with black blindfolds, leaving them lost as to where they were being taken. Those defending troops who had been sucked dry and turned into dried corpses were actually luckier than them.
