Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 85 The Role of Hellion
The "construction site" began to be built, and the workers worked hard, while Karen, as the "developer", began to eliminate safety hazards.

The location of Bloodstone Castle is not far from Wangbo Port, but not too close either.

This location is probably the limit of where the people of Wangbo Port can go when entering the mountains and forests.

If we go deeper into the forest, we won't be able to leave before dark.

Moreover, if you go deeper into the mountains and forests, you will encounter a group of lizardmen.

This place was not far from the lizardman camp that Karen had encountered before.

The reason why Karen asked Hellion to bring the soldiers here was naturally to guard against the lizardmen. These beast creatures are more sensitive to the strength of other creatures. Even if Hellion cannot scare them away, he will not be treated as a soft persimmon.

Judging from the information we have received so far, these lizardmen are not completely brainless, but have already formed a certain social structure and have the ability to think, and even have priests.

When they attacked human settlements, they only picked on the weak and did not attack the powerful settlements.

The presence of Hellion should provide some security for the "construction site".

In fact, Karen could also go and kill all the lizardmen in that camp and solve the problem once and for all.

But the purpose of his capturing the Green Lizard Priest was to tame and control the Lizardmen, in order to obtain a group of coolies and monster soldiers. If he killed them all, what he had done before would lose its meaning.

Transforming into a bat, Karen left the construction site and went deep into the mountains and forests. It had been a few days since the green lizard priest was captured, and it was still unknown how the lizardmen would react to this.

Karen, familiar with the route, once again came to the lizardman camp.

Karen was very surprised to find that there was no change in the camp. The lizard people were still living their lives as usual and had not fallen into chaos because of the disappearance of the green lizard priest.

Of course, it may also be because their lives are relatively simple. Apart from hunting, their daily lives are fighting, sleeping, and having sex. Without the Green Lizard Priest, they still have to do what they have to do, so naturally there is not much change.

Unfortunately, Karen couldn't understand the Lizard People's language and couldn't get any further information. He could only see that they did have a certain social structure and had formed a preliminary concept of a tribe.

"It seems we still have to rely on that green lizard priest."
After observing the lizardman camp, Karen came to the conclusion that he didn't know how Banju's language teaching was going. He hadn't paid attention to it since he came back.

After leaving the camp, Karen flew back to the "construction site", but he did not show up immediately. Instead, he observed secretly.

Calling people like Hellion out was also to test them.

They were far away from Wangbo Port, Karen was not there, and there was no one guarding the area. Instead, they themselves were the soldiers in charge of the guard. In this situation, if they wanted to run away, it would be no problem at all.

In other words, this is simply the best time to act. These soldiers are not fools and can certainly see it, and many of them do have the idea of escaping.

But with Hellion here, if they want to escape, they must get past Hellion. Among the remaining seventeen soldiers, the strongest are only two chivalrous knights, and a Lionheart Knight can easily kill them all.

"Lord Hellion, do you want to run?"

In this case, it would be futile to say anything else. They just needed to confirm Hellion's thoughts directly. If Hellion didn't intend to run away, then none of them could have any bad thoughts.

"Run? Where to run? Use your brain." Looking at this chivalrous knight who came directly to question him, Hellion's eyes widened. How could he not know that there were such foolish soldiers under his command? He couldn't even understand the situation?

"Can't we really give it a try?"

The chivalrous knight looked unwilling. They were certainly not stupid. With such an obvious opportunity, no one would believe that it was not intentional.

But for them, there was really no other way. This opportunity was totally worth a try. As long as they rushed into this primeval forest, they might be able to escape.

"Perhaps you all have hunting marks on your bodies, and if you rush into the forest, you can be hunted as prey."

Hellion sneered, and his words made the chivalrous knight's face change. It was not that Hellion really saw that they all had Karen's hunting mark on them, but he was simply knowledgeable and knew some of the nobles' tricks.

Hang hunting marks on the "two-legged beasts" and release them into the mountains and forests, and then let the hunters act as hunting dogs to hunt them all over the mountains and forests.

The new concept of hunting is a high-end way of playing. Only the nobles who can afford to train professionals are qualified to play it.

How could an ordinary noble have the courage and financial resources to let outstanding professionals become hounds? Of course, hounds are a derogatory term for these people. In fact, the official title is "headhunter".

As long as the price is right, there are many people who want to be "headhunters". By competing, killing some people, and performing, they can get generous rewards and prizes. Can professionals resist the temptation?

"This"

The chivalrous knight retreated. He had heard of the legend of the "headhunter" and he didn't want to be the "bipedal beast" being hunted.

"Work hard, don't overthink, and take things one step at a time."

Hellion patted the chivalrous knight on the shoulder and tried to persuade him. He didn't want to run away, mainly because he would have to take the blame if he ran back.

Since you have already surrendered, just stay here for a while and see how it goes. If there is a future, there is no need to run away.

Even if they really run, it's not the right time now. They must be under great attention now, and it's impossible for them to get a chance easily.

"Yes"

The chivalrous knight retreated, his face somewhat lost, but he had to admit that what Hellion said made sense. If he ran away now, he would be in danger of death. It would be better for him to work honestly for a while first.

"This Hellion is quite clear-headed."
Under the shadow of the tall trees, Karen, transformed into a bat, stood on a branch, silently watching everything happening before his eyes.

He did put hunting marks on these people, so even if someone ran away, they could not escape his Five Finger Mountain.

But looking at the current situation, it probably won't be needed. Hellion is very clear-headed and knows what he should do.

Karen flapped his wings, left the forest and returned to Wangbo Port. He wanted to meet the captured green lizard priest and check the results of Banju's teaching.

Of course, due to the relatively short enrollment period, Karen did not really expect the Green Lizard Priest to have completed his training and become a disciple, but after spending these few days, Banju probably had some idea of whether the teaching would be effective in the end.
