Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 75 Heart palpitations
"Burn this place and all the bodies."

Kevin commanded the players and soldiers to set fire to the camp and destroy the bodies. Things had to be done thoroughly. Last time they burned it all down, and this was their second time.

"Goodness, we did all the murder and arson this evening."

[Dual Spiritual Roots of Civil and Wood] While lighting the fire, he complained that he had to join the army. The style of the whole game changed. It was "Stardew Valley" before and now it is "Fantasy GTA".

After the fire was set, Kevin led his men away.

"It's not easy to hide your whereabouts this time."

Looking at the marks left by the carriage, Kevin felt a little worried. Maybe they should stay and wait for the boat to come and pick them up.

However, doing so seems a bit unnecessary. After all, they didn't intend to come here by boat. If they were to leave any traces, they would have left them when they came.

"Forget it, don't think too much about it. Father and Master Karen must have already considered it. I'll just do as they tell me."

Kevin thought about it and finally chose to give up thinking.

Giving up thinking can indeed bring happiness, and Kevin felt that his worries were gone all of a sudden.

If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. There is no point for him to think so much here. He will do whatever Lord Karen tells him to do.

On the other side, Karen didn't actually leave. He was thinking about what to do next. Should he wait for those knights to come to him, or chase them and kill them all in Shilin Port?
According to the chivalrous knight, the archbishop and his entourage had actually just left today, so it wouldn't be a problem to catch up with them.

After all, night is the vampires' home turf, and even horses can run faster. Even if that group of people traveled day and night, Karen was confident that he could stop them before reaching Shilin Port.

"But there doesn't seem to be any need to stop them. Perhaps it would be better to send this archbishop into Stone Forest Harbor to stir up trouble?"

Karen thought about it and decided that he would definitely pursue her. He liked to proactively solve problems rather than waiting for them to come to him. Between "passively waiting" and "actively pursuing", he would definitely choose the latter.

But after choosing "chase", there are still different choices. How to kill these people, where to kill them, and what consequences to cause after the killing, there are still different choices.

"Herod!"

Karen pulled the reins and the horse started running. He tried to catch up first.

Beside the lit fire, several knights were sitting and resting. In the center of the knights was a middle-aged man in a priest's robe, with the symbol of the rising sun prominently displayed on his chest.

"Bishop Rios, how was your rest?"

A red-haired man with a face full of flesh, wearing only a breastplate, revealing two muscular arms, spoke up. His tone was not respectful, but he still maintained basic politeness.

"I'm fine, I can keep going."

The blond priest Rios answered, his eyes turning to the red-haired man.

On the shoulder of the red-haired man's right arm, there is a tattoo of a holy emblem consisting of two colliding waves. It is the holy emblem of the goddess of the sea.

"Okay, knights, pack up and go!"

Hellion clapped his hands and shouted.

"Yes!"

The scattered knights immediately stood up and responded, and began to pack up their things.

In reality, they didn't bring much, just rations and water bottles, and they regrouped in no time. An archbishop, a Lionheart Knight, a Kingdom Knight, five Exploration Knights, six Chivalrous Knights, ten ordinary knights, and fifty cavalrymen—a considerable force indeed. Without some heavyweights, it would be difficult to easily defeat such a group, let alone completely annihilate them.

"Da da da!"

The cavalry team of more than 70 people advanced, the sound of horse hooves roared, scaring the birds and beasts to scatter, and the settlements they passed by were even more frightened. None of these scattered settlements could provide such a number of cavalry.

This is just talking about quantity. If we take quality into account, it would be difficult to put together the scattered settlements from the Lijian Bay area where Wangbo Port is located to Shilin Port.

A Lionheart Knight is an important figure in the Duke's family. Such a person would never end up hanging around in the New World.

"Knight Hellion, are you sure we're not being followed?"

Not long after they set off, Rios frowned and asked Hellion beside him.

For some reason, Rios always felt that his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he had an inexplicable sense of palpitations. The source of that feeling was vague. He wanted to grasp it but felt nothing. He was completely confused and there was no movement of the evil detection function on his body.

"Huh? Of course not. Who would dare to follow us? Are they trying to kill themselves?"

Hellion was stunned for a moment, then answered decisively. He didn't feel anything and had no idea what Rios was worried about.

"how come."

Rios was sure that his feeling was absolutely correct.

This kind of heart palpitations would not occur without reason. It felt like being stared at by a ferocious beast, or in other words, he was like a prey being targeted by a hunter, and it seemed that an arrow would be shot at any time to take his life.

"Don't worry, we will protect you."

Seeing Rios's nervous face, Hellion tried to comfort him, but he was doubting in his heart whether this priest of the Lord of Dawn could really do it.

He hasn't even reached the destination yet and he's already scared to pee his pants. Can he really outsmart the priest of the God of Travel and the Goddess of Commerce?

"Never mind. It doesn't matter to me. As long as I can get her there safely, I'll have accomplished my mission."
Hellion was too lazy to think so much. He was just a thug. He didn't care about the cooperation between the Church of the Radiant Dawn and Duke Drum. Anyway, Duke Drum would not betray the Goddess of the Sea.

"."

Rios was a little speechless. He could feel Hellion's perfunctory attitude, but there was nothing he could do because he himself had no idea what was going on. He could only be secretly alert in his heart.

However, when the team arrived at Stone Forest Port, there were no problems along the way. It was so safe that even Hellion felt bored, and he also looked down on Rios more and more.

Rios was speechless, he knew his own situation. At this moment, the palpitations continued, even worse. This meant that even if he entered the Stone Forest Port, he would still not be safe, and would even be in greater danger.

"Let's go see the Governor of Shilin Port first?"

Hellion asked Bishop Rios that if he could hand this guy over to the Governor of Stone Forest Port, his mission would be completed.

"No, let's go to the hotel first. I need to get ready."

However, Bishop Rios rejected the proposal because he was unsure where this palpitation came from. If Stone Forest Port was not safe, did it mean that the Governor of Stone Forest Port was not necessarily reliable? This possibility was not impossible.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Hellion was a little helpless, but nodded and led his men straight to the hotel. Logically, since he was flying the banner of the Duke of Drum, the Governor of Stone Forest Port should have arranged a residence for them and they would not have to stay in the hotel at all, but now he still had to follow Rios's orders.
