Chapter 11: Escape
Kana and his group of refugees are heading southwest.

The only kingdom that shares a border with the Kingdom of Safro is the Kingdom of Fane.

There is a long mountain range separating the two countries, but there are relatively narrow roads connecting the two sides of the mountain range.

These are also the only two outward passages of the Kingdom of Saffro.

The southwest route has no forests or mountains, and no rivers blocking it, so it can be passed very smoothly.

But the road to the southeast is very troublesome. Not only are there many rivers blocking the way, but there are also many wild beasts and some low-intelligence races living there.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Saffro has always passed through the southwest, and its relationship with the Kingdom of Faen, the only country with which it has a border, is lukewarm.

Generally only business dealings.

After their refugee group had walked for a day, some more people joined them.

There was no way, almost all cities fell.

The port was occupied immediately and without any ships, they had few options.

It can be said that a large number of civilians are fleeing to the Kingdom of Fane.

The sun has set behind the mountain.

The sky was getting darker and darker.

"Hurry up, we have to find a hidden place." Nickum said anxiously.

It had been more than a day or two since they escaped from the city. They were lucky to be able to walk here alive.

Naturally, I also have some experience.

For example, the vampires will gain strength at night and become even more powerful than during the day.

The fact that all vampires possess night vision is enough to create a huge gap between them and ordinary humans.

"Come with me, I know a good place." Kana looked around and said, then walked straight in one direction.

Nickum quickly turned around and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you catch up?"

The refugee group immediately followed.

After walking for about half an hour, we could see a small forest with a hillside in the distance.

Kana brought them to a spacious cave entrance that was recessed from the side. With the surrounding trees blocking the view, it was considered very hidden.

"This is a good place. Let's rest here tonight." Nickum looked around with great satisfaction.

"Brother Kana is really experienced, hahaha."

"No, I've been here before."

The refugees who followed them began to build a makeshift camp around this place.

It was very simple, with just a few fires lit here.

Kana took Aliris and walked around in the small forest.

After wandering around with a purpose, he found what he was looking for and quickly knelt on one knee to dig it out.

"Garlic grass, haha." Kana was a little happy.

Aliris took a look and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing digging sharp grass?"

Garlic grass is the name given by players when they played the game in the past. It does not mean that it has garlic or looks like garlic.

It’s just because the juice extracted from this grass is equivalent to a toxin for vampires.

It just so happens that the vampires in the game are also afraid of silver weapons, so they gave this grass the nickname garlic grass.

"This grass has a miraculous effect on those monsters. It's like a toxin to them."

"Really?" Alice didn't doubt it and half-knelt down to help pull out the weeds.

But there weren't many here, and they were all picked out in a short while. Then the two returned to the camp.

Nickum looked at them carrying a large pile of sharp grass and was a little confused: "What are you digging this for?"

"We discovered before that the monsters seemed to hate this grass. It seemed to be poisonous to them."

Hearing this, Nickum and the surrounding residents and guards all turned their heads.

The recovery ability of these monsters has always been a headache for them.

"You didn't lie to me?" Nickum was a little surprised.

Cana nodded. "There's nothing to fool you about. I've tried it before. I applied it on a sword. When I slashed at the monsters, they even screamed in pain."

There was really no point in lying about this kind of thing. After all, they now had a common enemy. "So these monsters can feel pain."

Nickmu immediately believed it: "Okay, let's go dig some up and prepare some." He turned around and looked at his brothers: "What are you still standing there for? Take some people and go dig!"

Soon, several guards brought some refugees to dig this sharp grass in the forest, and soon they dug out a large pile of it.

Then let the women use the tools at hand to simply squeeze out some juice.

He took two small bottles of juice and handed them to Kana and the other man as a thank you.

When night falls, organize the night watch.

Kana and the other man naturally didn't have to keep watch. They sat by the fire, wrapped in blankets given to them, and fell asleep.

Before going to bed, Kana told others that tinnitus was the enemy's giant bats' way of detecting the enemy, and asked them to be careful.

……

The next day, the refugee team packed up early and continued on their journey quickly.

When they were near a village, Nickum sent two soldiers with two mercenaries to conduct some reconnaissance.

"Boss, the village is empty, and there are a lot of bloodstains and some gnawed bones, which should be human bones." A soldier who came back from reconnaissance said with a disgusted look on his face.

Obviously, the situation in the village is not good.

"Didn't you see those monsters?"

"No, judging by the marks, it's from a few days ago."

"That's good. Speed up and let's go through here first." Nickum felt relieved.

Cana and Aliris walked through the area outside the village.

Aliris looked at the soil under her feet, frowned and asked, "Dian, Kana, why is the soil next to the village a little black?"

Kana took a look and said casually, "Blood pollution, it's done by those vampires, polluting the land and making the entire area more suitable for dark creatures to live.

Even some plants and animals will be affected and undergo some mutations."

When the game was launched, the entire country had turned into a polluted dark place.

The dark magic of gathering and dispersing will turn the entire country into an area where sunlight cannot penetrate.

The gathering clouds would make the earth permanently dark, and it would hardly recover until the later stages of the game.

The current situation is just a precursor.

"Okay, stop thinking so much and speed up."

Not long after we started walking, we encountered another group of refugees. This group of refugees looked much more miserable. Most of them were injured and had tired expressions on their faces.

Obviously they had encountered the enemy before, but it was not known whether they ran away or killed the enemy.

In any case, the two refugee teams were reunited.

Looking at the group of refugees, Cana couldn't help but complain, "If they walk all the way to the Earldom, this group will probably be five or six hundred people."

A few kilometers away.

A team was moving slowly forward, dragging some tied-up civilians behind them.

A horse-drawn carriage carrying goods was filled with various human corpses and debris.

"Sniff."

A stitched werewolf poked its head out and sniffed the air.

"What do you smell?" asked a vampire captain next to him.

"Blood, boiling, taste."

The Stitched Werewolf spoke in a halting, very low, hoarse voice.

"An escaped test subject? Or... a member of the royal family left behind?"

The vampire captain thought about it and made a decision.

"Point out a direction, then take these people back first, and I'll take a few people over to take a look."

The werewolf stretched out its claws and pointed in the direction of Kana and the others.

"it is good."

The captain of the army called a few blood slaves and several zombies, plus a giant bat, and ran quickly towards the direction where Kana and others were.
