Gazing out the window at Xiao Lein Shua, Bayou could see her weariness.
She had chosen to return to her subordinate castle directly.
Lord, Bayou scrolled through the world chat and noticed a peculiar phenomenon, the spirit of flame.
Lord was aggressively acquiring spirit cores at the trading post.
Offering iron ingots in exchange, it was rare for lords to upgrade their castles to towns, as most were still in need of iron ingots.
Yet, here was one selling them.
Bayou found it hard to believe that spirit cores held no significant value for him.
Having outgrown the novice phase, there is no longer a need to guard the barracks at dawn to summon troops.
But you retired early for the night.
Meanwhile, in the desolate plains of the elemental alliance, a castle riddled with cracks emerged.
A stronghold of the alliance's final member, the lord of wrath of the wind, Fong Sha.
Upon learning of the alliance as current affairs, including conflict with a first tier lord and a looming threat from the Gata Empire, Fong Shao resolutely chose to aid his comrades.
At that moment, the Elemental Alliance stood united in a pentagonal formation, all welcoming Fong Sha.
Cold Jia had always imagined Fong Shiao as a scruffy older man, only to find him the youngest among the five.
A spirited youth of merely 18, Fong Sha possessed a unique artifact that allowed him to absorb the power of wind elements to conjure wind spirits.
His delay in arrival stemmed from his previous residence in the Howling Wolf Valley, where the constant gales favored his troop summoning.
However, the quantity of his troops had nearly reached saturation, and his previous focus on numbers had led him to overlook the quality of his forces.
a fundamental reason for his position in the second tier.
The attributes of the wind spirits were arguably the most extraordinary among the five types of troops.
Though elemental beings, wind spirits possessed a physical form and could assume various shapes.
Currently, Fong Sha had mastered two forms for his wind spirits.
One that transformed into a 3 m long great bird and another resembling a fierce tiger.
Even in its terrestrial beast form, the wind spirit retained the ability to fly, being composed of wind elements.
With our forces fully assembled and my injuries healed under Lumme's care, I proposed that we set out tomorrow to eliminate the vampire lord.
At this moment, Lier remained engulfed in the panic of narrowly escaping death at the hands of Yilong.
He sought to rally his allies to swiftly eliminate him.
Regarding the Gata Empire as a mere afterthought, planning to leave them a few vampire corpses as a token, Fong Sha arrived with the intent to showcase his prowess and readily concurred with Lung Js proposal.
As for Shir Yao and Lu Yao, they were indifferent, primarily awaiting Lin Jean s opinion, observing the collective desire to vanquish the vampire lord, Lyn Jan recognized that targeting a first tier lord would serve as an excellent inaugural battle for the elemental alliance.
Thus, they resolved to set forth at dawn the following day.
Upon hearing Lin Jean s agreement, both Lia and Fong Shao smiled, confident that the vampire lord s demise was imminent.
Time 6:00.
Deep within the desolate plains, a grand city witnessed a formidable general clad in armor leading 50,000 soldiers out in a resounding march.
The emperor of the Gata Empire, enraged by the obliteration of his elite squad, received alarming news from the Empire s Mage Association branch.
A six-winged angel had slain the frost dragon.
The sensient beings of the frigid snow mountains would not provoke the Gata Empire.
Bolstered by the mage association, the mindless creatures lacked the strength to annihilate his elite team.
The minister swiftly deduced that foreign entities were behind the turmoil.
The young impetuous emperor suddenly grasped the situation, promptly dispatching his general to eradicate these invaders.
With the Gata Empire s backing from the mage association, its high-ranking officials were practitioners of magic.
Although their combat prowess fell short compared to standard wizards of equivalent rank, they could still harness magic to enhance their melee capabilities.
Meanwhile, Lynn Jehan and his companions left three commanding units behind to guard their castles.
Taking all other forces, over 6,000 soldiers, including flame spirits, earth monsters, wind demons, trance, and snow maidens toward Yilong as fortress.
Carried by foam, Shiao as wind demon.
The four lords moved at a speed far surpassing that of lung jir snow maiden.
Yelank, not foolish, had anticipated the repercussions of offending a lord alliance and had been desperately seeking allies over the past few days.
However, having operated independently, attempting to persuade other lords to relocate to his domain or vice versa was met with skepticism as trust was nearly non-existent and such actions seemed suspicious.
Most lords deemed it a ruse.
And even if an alliance formed, it would prove fruitless, as no lord would shift their base to Yong as territory.
In despair, a flicker of hope arose as he surmised that the alliance would soon advance.
With his castle as position now exposed, escape seemed impossible.
In his moment of desperation, the first ally who came to mind was the undead lord Bayou.
He was acutely aware of Bayou's formidable strength.
with her assistance.
The four lords might not be able to rival their side.
As Elong contemplated opening the system panel to privately message Bayou, he suddenly froze.
Realizing he had no knowledge of her castle's name, he directed his gaze towards the snowcapped mountains.
Understanding that he needed to locate an intelligent undead being to relay a message back to Bayou.
However, the gargoyle possessed no intellect, necessitating the search for a more advanced undead creature.
Elong was reluctant to send vampires, fearing they might bungle the task, for this was a matter of life and death.
He was certain that by promising by you ample rewards, she would undoubtedly be swayed.
In an instant, Elong transformed into a shadow and vanished from the castle, soaring towards the snowy peaks.
Chapter 133.
the cavalry of the Gata Empire.
After an arduous hour traversing the snowcapped mountains, Ylong finally encountered a skeletal dragon.
However, it was not the same one that had previously allied with him, and Yelong was uncertain of its intelligence.
"Hey," Yelong shouted, but to his astonishment.
The dragon turned and unleashed a breath of frost.
He quickly evaded the attack.
"I am not here to fight.
I require you to convey a message to your lord.
" After speaking, Yilong awaited the dragon's response.
What do you wish to communicate with our esteemed queen? The ethereal voice of the dragon reached Yiang<unk>s ears, and he felt a wave of relief wash over him.
Yang relayed all the intelligence he had gathered, emphasizing once more that if the elemental alliance truly attacked, he hoped Bayu would come to his aid, even mentioning his castle's name, Dracula.
After finishing, he observed the dragon, which appeared to comprehend, yet remained somewhat bewildered.
Nonetheless, as long as it could remember his ID, that sufficed.
I shall relay your message.
With that, the dragon took to the skies and departed.
Yelong was left to await by Yu's response when suddenly a notification from the system startled him.
Your level eight ordinary vampire has been slain by an enemy lord.
In the vicinity apart from the elemental alliance, there was only the undead lord.
Based on his observations over the past few days, Yilong deduced that her castle was likely on the opposite side of the icy mountains.
At this very moment, the only force capable of slaying his troops was indeed the Elemental Alliance.
With a heart full of trepidation, Yilong hastened his return to the castle.
An hour later, the silhouette of his castle emerged in the distance.
To his dismay, five lords were leading numerous troops in a coordinated assault against the vampires.
Yelangs forces numbered just over a thousand, placing them at a distinct disadvantage in both quantity and quality.
To his astonishment, the Alliance had even dispatched an additional lord.
They had mobilized their entire force against him.
What deep-seated grudge could this be? Yelong had hardly slain any of their troops, and he himself had endured several brutal encounters.
Had it not been for his resilience, he might have perished long ago.
Now they were intent on annihilating his forces, oblivious to the fact that he was currently absent from the castle.
Wait, what is that? Yang<unk>s pupils dilated as he spotted a cavalry unit on the horizon.
Charging towards them, the Gata Empire.
Suddenly, it dawned on him.
The village he had slaughtered must have drawn the Empire's attention, prompting them to send troops to eliminate him.
However, Yolong did not panic.
Instead, a sly smile crept across his face.
The arrival of the Gata Empire was most fortuitous.
He might not even need to call for aid.
He could leverage the Gata Empire to counter the elemental alliance.
