Chapter 169: Twilight Guardian

  Chapter 169 Twilight Guardian

  Although the vampires who attacked the Hall of Vigilance were all wiped out, the Hall of Vigilance was completely burned down by the fire, and all the vigilantes in the Hall of Vigilance had also been killed.

  This also means that this organization is basically... finished.

   "Let's be sad."

   Walking to the vigilante, Duanmuhuai reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, while the vigilante turned his head and looked at Duanmuhuai with a wry smile.

   "I really didn't expect it to be like this... However, this also shows that these vampires are indeed planning some kind of plan, otherwise, they would not dare to take the initiative to attack the Hall of Vigilance..."

   "So, do you have any good suggestions now?"

   "Only one choice left."

  Thinking of this, the Vigilante clenched his fists.

   "Let's go find the Twilight Guardians."

   "Twilight Guardian?"

"Yes...they used to be part of the vigilante organization, but the two sides have different ideas. The twilight guards only focus on hunting vampires, and believe that vampires are the number one threat to human beings. But the vigilantes think that vampires are only human beings. One of the many threats facing... if it's anything to do with vampires, the Twilight Guardians must know something."

   "Then... what are you waiting for? Let's go."

The stronghold of the Twilight Guard is located in a valley called Chunri Canyon. Although according to the vigilantes, the Twilight Guard is quite desolate, but when Duanmu Huai and Gu Leya saw the huge castle in the canyon... …

  Hmm...Compared with the shabby Hall of the Vigilante before, this side is more like the real thing.

  In the castle, the three of them soon met the leader of the Twilight Guard, a bald old man named Yishiran.

   However, facing the arrival of the vigilante, he didn't seem to treat him very much.

   "Gu Lei, what are you doing here? I have nothing to do with the Vigilante."

   "Now is not the time to talk about this, Yishiran, the Hall of the Vigilantes has been attacked by vampires and has been completely destroyed, many people have died..."

   "The Hall of the Vigilantes was attacked?"

Hearing this, Yishiran's disgusted expression suddenly changed. He stared at the vigilantes for a while before turning his gaze to Duanmuhuai and Guleya. When he saw the armor painting on Duanmuhuai's body , There was a trace of doubt in the old man's eyes, but soon, he coughed, and the embarrassment was overcome.

   "So... who are they?"

"They are adventurers, and they are quite powerful. I was once caught by a vampire and tried to perform some kind of filthy ritual, but this Iron Warrior wiped out dozens of vampires and undead completely by himself, if not If he saves me and destroys the ceremony, those vampires don't know what they will do..."

   Soon, the vigilante explained the information he had obtained to the latter, and then he stared at Yishiran.

"I admit that the vigilantes didn't take the idea of ​​the twilight guards to heart before, but now, they have paid the price. The vampires collected artifacts, tried to perform evil and blasphemous rituals, and even attacked the vigilante's hall. It all shows that they must have some kind of conspiracy! We must completely stop all of this, the Twilight Guard knows the situation of vampires best, I think you should know some clues."

  “………”

   Facing the words of the guard, Yi Shiran was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"In terms of clues, it's not completely lacking. As you said, these vampires have become more active recently, not only the vigilantes, but even the twilight guards have been attacked by them. In fact, we don't know much about it. Intelligence, at present, there is only one clue that can be determined.”

   Having said this, Yi Shiran took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"According to the information we have received, a group of vampires are currently located in the dark cave outside Morningstar City. It is said that they are looking for some ancient vampire artifact there. Although I don't know if this is the clue you are looking for, but at least for now Let's see...they must have some kind of conspiracy."

   "A dark hole, right... I know, I'm going now!"

  Hearing this, the vigilante turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yishiran.

   "Gu Lei, I don't recommend you to go, you vigilantes have not been trained... Going rashly is just to die."

   "So, do you want me to hide here, trembling and waiting for the end to come?"

"of course not………"

   "We can go together."

  Duanmu Huai interrupted their quarrel.

   "It doesn't matter if there is one more person anyway."

   "That's what it says..."

   Facing Duanmuhuai's proposal, Yi Shiran was silent for a moment, then nodded.

   "Well, the Twilight Guard is currently understaffed, and we don't have enough strength to investigate, so I'll leave it to you, this... Iron Warrior and his followers."

  Although Gu Lei wanted to set off as soon as possible, his body was a bit tired from running around for several days. Finally, under the persuasion of Duan Muhuai, Gu Lei decided to rest in this castle for one night before setting off.

   And Duanmu Huai was not idle either. In fact, he had been chatting with Gu Lei while eating, mainly asking about the vigilantes. This made Guleya quite puzzled. After dinner, when Gulei went to rest, Guleya also found Duanmuhuai and asked her own question curiously.

   "Mr. Knight, you seem to care about the vigilant's appearance?"

   "Of course, I have a plan... um... just haven't decided yet."

  The plan Duanmu Huai mentioned was naturally a plan to expand his own army's conscription.

  Basically, all Inquisitors have their own conscription planets, and each Inquisitor’s Astartes Chapter recruits manpower from these places, and then transforms them into Astartes warriors.

   In Manalia and the Holy City, Duanmu Huai did not have the idea of ​​conscription because it was not suitable there. But after coming here, Duanmu Huai discovered that this continent is very suitable as a place for his war group to recruit soldiers.

   First of all, the people in this continent are tough, and there are many strong men.

  Secondly, the level of civilization here is not high, which is more suitable for control.

   It's just that Duanmuhuai doesn't really want to recruit living people. After all, he doesn't have gene seeds, and he doesn't have mechanical priests. Naturally, he can't transform ordinary people into Astartes. But on the other hand, there are spirit bodies in this continent, so... it will be much easier!

Duanmuhuai's idea is to set up an organization on this continent, and then recruit adventurers and fighters on this continent to fight. If they die in battle, their souls will be included in the legion, and become like the night guards. The Ghost Warband.

  The appearance of the vigilantes just gave Duanmu Huai a flash of inspiration. Judging from what I heard from Gu Lei, the Vigilante organization is very similar to the Tribunal, and their targets are all non-human aliens and evil **** believers in the entire sky. Coincidentally, the vigilante lair here was taken over by vampires, so Duanmuhuai wanted to rebuild a similar organization as his conscription base.

  It’s just that...you have to negotiate with a god, otherwise those ghosts may be taken away by someone.

   It so happens that there is an icon of Stendhal here, let's chat with it.

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai picked up the icon placed on the altar and greeted Guleya.

   "I'll go back to the room first, don't come in no matter what happens."

   "Ah, ok..."

  Watching Duanmuhuai return to her room, Guleya also nodded blankly, then she obediently sat on the chair outside, picked up a book and read it.

  However, not long after, suddenly...a loud noise erupted.

   "Boom!"

  A loud noise like thunder reverberated throughout the castle. At the same time, Guleya saw the door of the guest room being knocked away by a powerful force. Immediately afterwards, she saw Duanmuhuai walking out of it with a disheveled face.

"Depend on………!"

   "What's the matter with you? Mr. Knight? Are you all right!"

   Seeing Duanmuhuai coming out, Guleya also hurriedly put down the book in her hand and came to Duanmuhuai's side. The latter coughed twice, and then threw Stendhal's icon out.

   "It's okay...damn, that old guy..."

  Recalling the communication with Stendahl just now, Duanmuhuai was also upset. At the beginning, he did connect to Stendahl's "communication channel" by injecting spiritual energy into the icon. And this **** of justice and mercy is quite easy to talk to, although Duanmu Huai was quite upset that he regarded Duanmu Huai as a demon clan invading his domain at first...

  Look, I don't look like a demon, I'm obviously a human being!

   But after that, the two fell apart. Stendhal rejected Duanmuhuai's request for him to provide heroic spirits, and said that those warriors had fought against evil during their lifetime, and they should enjoy peace instead of fighting after death. Of course, in the final analysis, Stendhal meant to look down on Duan Muhuai, thinking that his idea was too naive...

  Hey, you are not the evil **** of chaos, you are just a soul reflection in the world fragments, why do you look down on me? And this fragment of the world still belongs to me!

  It's almost like the player is despised by the NPC in his own sandbox game, can this be tolerated?

  So Duanmuhuai didn't talk about it anymore, and decisively stepped aside.

   Originally, I wanted to have a good discussion with everyone. Since you look down on me, then I will not play with you. When the time comes, I will go to the Annihilation Domain to kill a few demon gods, and I will be the boss!

  If there is no Butcher Wang, will we just eat hairy pigs?

  Talos can become a god, so can I!

   When the time comes, let’s see whose fist is bigger among us!
