Ghouls are cheap consumables for vampires.

On the intercontinental highway 170 miles away from Jijibin City, nearly 170,000 troops from the Blood Moon City cut off the intercontinental highway and blocked the airway to a certain extent.

Among them, there are more than 100,000 zombies. These zombies are dressed in rags, and the only combat equipment they have is a pair of small hook-shaped chain saws in their hands.

This kind of claw has a more majestic name - Evergold Claw.

The name sounds impressive, but they are relatively cheap weapons. The toughness and hardness of the hooks can barely reach the strength of intermediate equipment. The attack method of this type of hook is not stabbing, but serration cutting.

They are like a semi-automatic high-frequency electric saw, with a power device inside the wrist-shaped handle. The saw teeth are inlaid with particles of eternal gold, the original material for making demon gold coins. They do not have conventional magic-breaking capabilities, but can cause higher damage to defensive magic than conventional attacks.

This claw is very effective in cutting and destroying hard solid materials. It is more like a tool than a weapon.

With the support of absolute numbers, these ghouls have mobility far exceeding that of ordinary people, and they pose a certain threat to mechanical warfare equipment and even magical armaments.

One hundred thousand zombies equipped only with Eternal Gold Claws blocked the marching route of Mu Hua and his group. This arrangement was obviously aimed at the chariots and mechas in the punitive army.

Behind these corpses is a legion of lesser vampires.

These secondary vampires are already relatively regular legion soldiers. They are at least equipped with a relatively regular direct attack weapon and wear standard light armor combat uniforms.

The combat suit has an energy storage type single-body defense barrier, which is activated by intermediate magic stones. Each intermediate magic stone can activate a magic barrier about two meters long and wide. It can stably defend against two or three single-body attack magics of intermediate strength. During battle, it can be repeatedly activated by installing intermediate magic stones.

The blood clan obviously cares more about these lesser vampires, but judging from the fact that orthodox blood clans are almost never seen on the battlefield, they still belong to the lower class among the blood clans who are responsible for risking their lives and working hard.

Behind their positions are a large number of "asphalt cannons", which are a type of position cannon with a longer range. Because of the problem of loading ammunition, people also call them "slime cannons".

They can fire a type of shell made from the blood of secondary vampires. This type of shell has basically no explosive lethality, and its attack effect is to explode large amounts of viscous plasma substance.

This plasma substance will autonomously bury and cover foreign matter that comes into contact with it.

The plasma can restrain chariots and tanks, and can even limit the mobility of mechas and armored warriors for a short period of time. For ordinary drivers, if the tank is blocked by the slime cannon, the driver inside will not be able to escape and may very likely die of suffocation.

And if the individual himself is trapped in that kind of weird slime-like plasma and cannot escape, the consequences can be imagined.

At the same time, the sticky substance exploded by the slime cannon has no sticky effect on vampires, or even secondary vampires and ghouls. For vampires, it can barely be considered a range attack that does not affect their own side.

It is a notorious weapon specifically designed for vampires that has no direct killing power against high-end combat forces, but is quite deadly to conventional warriors.

Warriors, archers, cavalrymen, spellcasters, and all kinds of combat professionals are also present among the secondary vampires. Except for those slime cannons, they don't rely much on magical weapons.

Among those secondary vampires, about one-third grew bat wings that could spread out behind their backs, which could be considered flying units with air combat advantages.

Blocking the intercontinental highway, the vampire army, which was even larger in size, lined up in a line and blocked the expeditionary army's path.

"Sir, there are several demons who claim to be from Alan who want to see you." The road ahead was blocked and the situation was uncertain for a moment, so Mu Hua and his men paused their march. This was a good opportunity to distribute ammunition and supplies to the combat units. A messenger came to Mu Hua and Abigail and reported.

"Let them go." Having a bad feeling in his heart, Mu Hua waved his hand in annoyance. The messenger left and Mu Hua called Tao Les.

"This is Mu Hua. The Blood Moon City is preparing to declare war on us, and your demons are coming to serve as their messengers? What? Do you want Abigail and I to surrender? I say, what's wrong with you?"

Because Bridges lifted the information blockade of the Ukuru Courtyard, the communication was easily connected. Before Tao Les could say anything, Mu Huababa started to accuse and ridicule him.

At this moment, Abigail was describing in a joking manner in the chat group of the Ghost Council how the Blood Moon City was preparing to attack her.

Obviously, Mu Hua and Abigail may have different tempers, but they are both good at picking up conversations...

"Um, wait a minute, wait a minute, hey~! Also, you're with Abigail, right? Tell her to stop stirring up trouble in the group chat. Wait, I'll ask for you."

"Fuck, I live like I'm in exile all day long. Don't come to me every time you have something to do." On the other end of the phone, Tao Les was confused and angry.

"You said so. Then we won't look for you in the future. We will just kill these demons directly?" Mu Hua said unhappily.

"Wait, wait, let me ask first." Tao Lesi was speechless for a moment.

Well, although Mu Hua’s attitude was not good, he was still giving him face. However, Tao Les’ so-called exile was also a free and easy life. He really didn’t care much about the affairs of the Alan Demon Kingdom.

"Sir, a few more witches have come over there, saying... they want to see you." Tao Les went to inquire about the situation, and Shana was also contacting the vampires she was familiar with. The messenger came again, but this time he went directly to Mu Hua.

"Hmm?" The witch is looking for him? Mu Hua frowned. The witch who could call him by name probably had a witch soul from the Psychic Academy.

"Charlotte, take Sang Xi with you and go take a look. Tell them not to say anything. If they don't want to die, just get away." Mu Hua called Charlotte over. The ghost Sang Xi came out of Shan Na's body, and the two left in response.

"I'll order the troops to retreat and deploy the artillery first. When do we start?" After Charlotte left, Abigail asked Mu Hua while chattering in the group.

"Wait, let's see what Shanshan says first." Mu Hua replied.

The Blood Moon City has come to Mu Hua and Abigail more than once and acted in disbelief, and now the blood clan has come to them again and formed a battle array.

They don't really think that ghosts and gods are reasonable people, do they? Messengers? Communication? Oh, stop it. Mu Hua and Abigail don't want to hear anything. If the other party keeps blocking the way, no matter what inside information or special information there is, just pretend you don't know and fight back first.

The force of the attack is directly related to the subsequent impact of the so-called inside information. If the consequences are not serious, it is possible that the person will be slaughtered.

There was no complicated distance calculation. Facing the blood clan's obstruction, the expeditionary army retreated completely, leaving Mu Hua and Abigail exposed. Only a hundred mechas holding giant shields formed a shield wall in front of the two.

"Ha, I'm beginning to admire those old immortals." When Charlotte returned, she ended the communication and said to Mu Hua and Abigail with a look of anger and laughter.

"What do you mean?" Mu Hua asked.

The ten elemental elves are like the signature starting move of this expeditionary army. Ever since the appearance of the concave-shaped angels in the battle of Ukulu, Mu Hua and Abigail's companion elves usually participate in large-scale battles.

Before the battle started, ten elemental elves were hiding and casting spells, preparing for an offensive.

"The gods here have made concessions to the Blood Moon City. They have almost given up on Bridges and have disarmed Bridges' military system in the church system."

"That is to say, the military system in this courtyard will be constructed by the Blood Moon City in the future."

"The Wuenlanga pantheon has designated one-fifth of the courtyard as an area for the development of their sect's beliefs. At the same time, outside of the Wuenlanga pantheon's missionary land, they will send gods to help the blood race develop their doctrines in the name of the True Ancestor in the early stages."

“Bridges was abandoned by Unlanga, and many churches received divine oracles and cleaned out the management of Bridges.”

"It's hard to say whether the Elders Council is trying to get Bridges to surrender because they don't want Webster to be too comfortable. Bridges will use their connections to promote the entry of the Blood Clan into the Magic Empire. The Blood Clan will reserve some positions for Bridges in the military system."

"Now that Unlanga and the blood clan have gotten along well, we seem a little redundant. Look, the Elders Council is trying to persuade us to leave this courtyard." Shana raised his chin slightly and pointed in the direction of the blood clan army.

Mu Hua felt a headache after listening to Shana's words. It was a bit confusing. Unlanga and the blood clan were relatively easy to understand. Webster was almost becoming a family with the Blood Moon City. However, the Magic Empire had not made any major moves yet, and the Blood Moon City wanted to use Bridges to check and balance Webster?
Although the decision to check and balance Webster coincides with the Magic Empire's, is this something the vampires should intervene in?

"What did the blood clan promise to the top leaders of the Magic Empire?" Mu Hua asked with a bit of a sour feeling.

The Blood Moon City was able to invade the Ukuru Courtyard on a large scale because of the instigation of the Magic Empire. The Empire intended to replace Bridges with Webster and take power in this courtyard. These were the prerequisites for the Blood Moon City's invasion.

Regardless of whether the Empire wants to restrict Webster, the vampires are not qualified to think about such things. In other words, Webster was originally sent by the Empire to restrain the vampires.

If there weren't enough benefits, the Blood Moon City would dare to let Bridges surrender. Webster would probably be able to pull out a large number of garrison troops into this courtyard and impose a certain degree of punishment and deterrence on the vampires who released the zombies here.

"The right to purchase a fixed amount of life potions at half price, and to pay a certain number of substitute amulets as tribute to the royal family on a regular basis." said Setsuna.

"A substitute amulet? Another god? Shit, do the gods here have to be so stupid?" Mu Hua cursed in surprise.

The life potion is not so bad, it is a specialty of the vampires.

But the blood clan came to seize this courtyard in order to raise the true ancestor. They have nothing to use as a substitute amulet now. This substitute amulet still needs the god of this courtyard to produce.

"It's not really urine. Have you forgotten? Before the True Ancestor appeared in the blood clan, the gods here would help the blood clan to preach in the name of the True Ancestor. After all, there must be the power of faith, right?" Abigail said calmly without saying anything.

"..." Mu Hua twitched his lips. Well, everyone has calculated the accounts very carefully.

If the vampires really develop in this courtyard and encourage childbirth, they will definitely move people into this courtyard. As long as it stabilizes, the prosperity here will not be worse than when Bridges was in power.

I don’t know when the Blood Moon City will be able to produce a True Ancestor. If they can get some substitute amulets, maybe the gods here can even give them kickbacks.

"What did those witches say? What do they have to do with this?" Mu Hua looked at Charlotte. The witches and Bridges were incompatible, and they should not appear in such an occasion.

"Awakening Ceremony." Charlotte said a word unclearly with a troubled look on her face.

"Witches awaken in this courtyard, and vampires or gods help them deal with the demons summoned? All witches? As long as they come, we will help?" Without much thought, Mu Hua realized the key.

"Well, the Unlanga pantheon will also help the witch to clear her name in the future." Charlotte nodded. It was not difficult to see from her expression that this benefit was enough to make her let go of her hostility towards the gods here, and even Bridges.

"..." Mu Hua was silent. This time even Abigail's expression looked as ugly as if she had eaten a dead fly.

Witches may have somewhat extreme personalities, but they have a strong sense of empathy for witch awakening. Even if they can no longer use it, this benefit can still make witches feel a strong sense of identity.

It’s true, although this kind of thing is troublesome, it can be considered easy for the god of this courtyard to do.

Anyway, their kingdom of God is built in the maze area. As long as they don't go back to hell, it's no big deal for them to stay there all day. If some witches who are about to awaken come and go into their kingdom of God, they can do whatever they want with the demons that are summoned, right?

At most, it would just make the gods here lack some mystery in front of the witch.

If you are more harmonious and not obsessed with the lives of those demons, you may be able to extort some money from them.

Even the Black Witch Academy would not be able to find fault with this aspect. After all, witch awakening is quite troublesome, and this 'Awakening Land' was also created by the witches themselves.

"Fuck!" After holding it in for a long time, Mu Hua really didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment, and finally he could only say - fuck. (End of this chapter)
