Chapter 99 Opportunity

  Gerald walked forward slowly, and as he approached, the intangible pressure grew heavier. The others involuntarily retreated backward, but Han Jin remained still, quietly gazing at the long sword in his hand, on which countless strange symbols flashed.

  Do we have to start all over again? Han Jin let out a light sigh, he had no other choice.

  At this moment, the towering Law Master's Tower in the center of the city suddenly shot out dazzling light, and a sharp whistling sound rang out one after another, covering the entire city.

  Enemy alert?! Everyone was stunned, even Gerald turned around to look towards the city gate, on the horizon, groups of black dots were flying towards West City at an extremely fast speed, it's the Vampire Guard! In this era of cold weapons, they are the airborne troops that come and go without a trace, the high city walls, the powerful magic crystal cannons, the dense magic towers and arrow towers, are all useless against them.

  Gerald suddenly turned around, looking at Heiyoul with a surprised and uncertain gaze. He never thought that Heiyoul actually had the qualifications to mobilize the Vampire Guard! However, when he understood the astonishment in Heiyoul's eyes, he became even more confused. Without the cover of the Cannon Gray, relying solely on the Vampire Guard to occupy the Western City, when did Zaganed become so crazy? Had the Ghost King Carol and Betty already lost Zaganed's favor?

  In the blink of an eye, groups of vampires descended, and the magic crystal cannons hadn't even finished loading crystals before being overturned by the vampires. The magical towers and arrow towers inside the city walls had only managed a few attacks when the vampires had already climbed all over them.

  There were many more vampires descending upon the city, and the first thing they did after folding their wings was to slaughter! Regardless of whether it was a man or woman, old or young, or even a warrior with some combat strength standing in front of them, they killed without mercy!

  A huge bat-like monster flew over, its body askew, and crashed to the ground. It then transformed into a vampire with an unusually tall and large build, but missing one arm. Losing an arm had clearly caused him great inconvenience in flight. His gaze was fixed intently on Han Jin and Mo Xinkou, and he suddenly let out a furious roar: "Get out of here!!" He then strode towards Han Jin's direction with large strides.

  Gerald's several guards were blocking his way, the vampire's claws swung randomly each time, and one guard was split into several pieces. No one could stop him for a moment, and further ahead was Gerald's back silhouette.

  Gerald turned around and walked at a pace that wasn't particularly fast, his heavy armor making him look clumsy, but his true speed left everyone's jaws dropped.

  A spark of fire flashed on Gerald's war spear, and the next moment, the tip of the gun was already pointed at the vampire's chest. Seven or eight meters away, it seemed to be completely non-existent for Gerald. No one saw how he crossed the space, not even the vampire himself, who only managed to grab the gun handle in time.

  Unfortunately, his strength was still a little small and he could not stop the war gun at all, just like those guards who were unable to stop his footsteps earlier.

  "You......" The exceptionally tall and imposing vampire had already recognized the person, but he couldn't have imagined that this killer would appear in Western City: "Gerald..."

  Gerald snorted, flinging the corpse hanging from his gun far away, and then rushed towards the city gate in large strides. The Vampire Guard was Zagunede's most trusted troops, and Gerald was Disemark's top general, having dealt with the Vampire Guard too many times to count; he knew all too well that if they were allowed to occupy West City, it would become a veritable city of death.

  From a public perspective, allowing the vampires to succeed would deal a devastating blow to the morale of the other cities in the Bait Alliance. If Zagunede adopts a policy of appeasement or division, will they still be able to unite against Black Crow City? The Sacred Crown City will inevitably face an even more precarious situation. From a personal perspective, he has an unrelenting blood feud with the vampires. His greatest wish is to capture Caroline and Betty, cut them into countless pieces of flesh, just like what happened to his parents all those years ago.

  Compared to that, the personal grudge with Hailuo is nothing. Judging from Hailuo's expression, she should have no relation to the vampire attack and it was just a personal action. Moreover, as a seasoned general, he knew what his soldiers needed now. The vampire attack was too sudden, nearly three hundred meters of city wall, as well as the magic tower and arrow tower inside the city walls, were almost all occupied by vampires. The soldiers were helplessly fleeing and shouting. Now, they need an unshakeable model!

  "Kill……" Gerald let out a furious roar, he had already used all his strength, that majestic aura was completely transformed into flowing flames, like a fiery dragon dancing around him, all the nearby vampires were like miserable moths, burned to ashes.

  But the most terrifying thing about the Vampire Guards was their brutality, the stronger the enemy, the more frenzied they became. As Gerald charged into their formation with his gun, it was as if he had entered a deserted territory, and those vampires suddenly pounced on him in unison.

  "Kill……" Gerald's gun style became open and shut, the dragon flame fighting technique in his hands played out its power to the fullest, the vampires were not killed one by one, but group after group turned into ashes. Although more vampires fearlessly rushed up, no one could stop Gerald for a moment, his will to fight was like a rainbow spanning the sky, unstoppable!

  Everyone, including Gerald's comrades and enemies, was stunned by this scene. Heizel wanted to assassinate Gerald not only to disrupt Disemark's strategic plan but also to avenge his own sister; while Xanier was very disgusted with Gerald because he was extremely cruel, killed countless people, and liked to use extremely vicious means to torture prisoners of war. But at this moment, Gerald's weaknesses were all covered up by another halo. Who dares to challenge an army alone? Who dares to advance quietly in the face of a surging enemy? Although he protected the city on purpose, the latter was the key point.

  Whether he is a brutal murderer of female captives or an evil butcher, now he is just a fearless and fierce general, relying on his own burning will to fight, propping up the gate of hope for the Western City.

  "Charge..." Seeing Gerald's incomparable bravery, the panicked soldiers quickly regained their composure and launched an organized resistance.

  "Kill...!" The warriors surrounding the dark elves shouted and charged forward, almost no one paying attention to Hailor. The fact was that a few troublesome dark elves were just a minor nuisance, while the large-scale attack of the vampires was a disaster for the city. Which one was lighter and which one was heavier was still easy to distinguish.

  "Kill..." Gerald's figure burst forth, shooting up the high castle wall like a meteor, and the swarming vampires immediately surrounded him tightly. But in the next moment, an indescribable flame shot into the sky, and dozens of vampires had already turned into human torches, screaming as they flew outwards.

  Moxinke felt his blood boiling, let out a loud roar, and raised his giant sword to charge forward. Han Jin's hands moved swiftly, grabbing hold of him just in time. Moxinke finally came back to his senses, revealing an awkward smile.

  Han Jin hastily walked to Lei Zhe's side, helped him up, and cast another Return to Clarity spell. Lei Zhe's chest was heaving violently, and although Gerald's shield strike hadn't used full force, it still caused considerable damage. Fortunately, the knight's shield had struck his chest; if it had hit his face, he would likely have been disfigured.

  "Didn't expect Gerald's combat strength to be so terrifying..." Sasori muttered softly.

  "He won't be able to hold on for much longer." Xanthe also sighed: "Soon... his aura will be completely depleted."

  Han Jin's heart moved, and he casually drew out a talisman, shouting "Go!" The talisman transformed into a white light beam, shooting straight at Gerald.

  Gerald's figure stiffened, and he suddenly turned to look at Han Jin. Even from a distance, Han Jin felt Gerald's gaze like a physical touch, scraping against his face.

  "What did you do?"

  "Madness technique, hopefully it will be of some use to him."

  Haiyue stared blankly at Gerald's figure, her hand grasping the bow arm loosening and tightening repeatedly. Before she could make a decision, Xianiel had already sensed her intention and coldly said: "Haiyue, back off!!"

  Some things are always so ironic. Just a moment ago they were allies fighting side by side, now they have become enemies. This has nothing to do with personal character, but rather because of their different camps.

  Hai Rou smiled slightly: "If you repel the vampire's attack, do you think Gerald will let you off? Don't be foolish."

  "I'd rather die by Gerald's bullet than by a vampire's hand!" Xanthe suddenly raised her longbow, shouting: "Back off! I don't want to kill you!"

  The dark elves opposite also hastily raised their longbows, aiming at Xanier. Mo Shengke tightly grasped his giant sword and walked to the front. Sasou hurriedly cast a magic shield on himself and hid behind everyone else. The atmosphere became explosive, and this strange change left more than ten guards who had stayed behind to keep watch staring in shock.

  Hai Rou stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the dark elves to put down their longbows: "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. Now I just want to leave here."

  Just then, a shrill cry pierced through: "Gerald, it's you!"

  The faces of the two opposing camps' elves changed simultaneously, and in the city center, a hurried horseshoe sound came, batch after batch of fully armed warriors rushed towards this side, the reinforcements from Xicheng finally arrived, and there were dozens of figures flying in the air, they should be the magicians under Winston, the lord of Xicheng.

  The two elves exchanged a glance and backed away separately. Now was the perfect opportunity to escape from Western City, who knew what would happen if they waited any longer.
