Chapter 534 Knight Rand and Princess Lysa

Purgatory is a hot place.

Gray-black smoke covered the sky, and the earth was covered with dark red cracks.

This is definitely not a place suitable for living things to survive.

And this kind of heat is even more torturous for vampires.

If Grand Duke Vladimir was not a demigod but an ordinary vampire, he would have died in this purgatory long ago.

But even though he had the power of a demigod and had long since accepted part of Purgatory’s essence and been accepted by the land of Purgatory, the environment of Purgatory still tortured him to the point where he would rather die than live.

Vampires need to suck blood to survive, but in Purgatory there are only demons and some wonders that are special to the underground Purgatory.

Sulfur and magma are its main themes.

Although demons can be barely called living creatures, the “blood” flowing in their bodies cannot serve as food for vampires.

In order to get food, Grand Duke Vladimir could only rely on the occasional opening of the rift between Purgatory and the main plane to capture some humans.

This little food was far from enough to satiate Grand Prince Vladimir’s thirst.

Fortunately, the opportunity to go to the main plane and escape from this terrible land of Purgatory is right in front of him.

Although the plan did not go smoothly, the thousand-year-long planning meant that there were still many possibilities for the plan to be successfully implemented in other ways.

He made many backup plans.

First he had to get rid of the person who had been against him.

It’s not the White King, Berlan Calant, but Rand Nicholas.

Of course, the White King is also his enemy, but a king is too difficult to get rid of, so He plans to pick the weak ones first.

And compared to the White King, Vladimir’s hatred for Rand is deeper.

Rand could no longer be called a weak ant, but Grand Duke Vladimir really hated this disgusting fly.

It was obvious that Rand’s fighting ability was not that strong, at least compared to the king, compared to a demigod like him, he was so fragile that he could withstand no attack.

But every time at a planning node, Rand’s disgusting figure would appear, and then his plan would encounter twists and turns, or even fail.

It’s like seeing a vampire.

In order to maintain his strength, Grand Duke Vladimir did not spend much time awake in Purgatory, but he still planned the attack on Rand.

“Die, insect.” Although Grand Duke Vladimir did not mean to look down on Rand as a bug, to him, Rand was indeed as disgusting as a bug, and this kind of bug was the kind that could not be killed in a short time.

……

At this time in the Holy Moon Territory, some knights were planning a rebellion.

In fact, Rand did not mistreat them too much. As long as they were willing to work, basic food, lodging and clothing would be guaranteed.

But they were not villagers, nor were they laborers, nor were they slaves.

They are noble knights, they should not be carrying bricks and stones or hoeing fields under the waving of whips.

They couldn’t accept such a change in identity, especially since their current home was actually not far from here.

In other cases they might have just accepted their fate.

But now, no matter how cunning Rand was, he was defeated after all and came here to support the construction.

As long as they can escape from here and return to the territory, Rand will surely not dare to chase them and plunder the population.

So they decided to rebel and run away.

As for Rand, Rand is arranging work.

It can be expected that he will soon go to the north to deal with the affairs of Grand Duke Vladimir and will not stay here for long.

At that time, the Royal Guards also left with him, and the defense here would inevitably become weaker.

So how to defend this place requires a lot of consideration.

Rand made his deployment based on the terrain map.

“Let Taner bring Tata here, let Fenris and Serai guard the territory, and bring more soldiers when the time comes.” Rand made the deployment after thinking, “And if we go to the North later, I will probably go with Ellie only, and the affairs of the territory will be left to you.”

Although many things can be pushed onto Archbishop Kahn.

After all, they are members of the Torch Church, and many things are difficult and inconvenient for them to do.

Besides, Archbishop Kahn is already very old, and Rand feels bad for making him work so hard all the time.

“In any case, you just have to follow Lisa’s arrangements when the time comes,” Rand said.

The top leaders of the Sanctuary had no objection to this.

It has always been like this. If Rand is not around, Lysa must be someone she can rely on and trust.

Lysa’s administrative abilities are quite impressive, she is thoughtful and powerful, and the high-ranking officials of the Sanctuary do not mind following Lysa’s orders in Rand’s absence.

“That’s the preliminary arrangement then.” Rand clapped his hands. “If there are any changes later, we will hold another meeting.”

The meetings of the Sanctuary Force have always been so concise. After the core content is discussed, they will not dwell on some minor details or even completely irrelevant content. After the meeting, everyone will go and do their own things.

Today, Lysa is still the secretary to protect Rand’s safety. The reason is that if Lysa takes charge of the territory next, Rand still has a lot of things to explain.

Then, during one of the rare times when Rand and Lysa were off-duty, they were talking about serious matters.

The temperature in this makeshift brick conference room suddenly rose.

The air was filled with the smell of sulphur.

This usually happens when a space rift leading to purgatory suddenly appears nearby.

Causing some creatures to approach.

The Infernal Vampire, and the False Azure King.

If Grand Duke Vladimir had not been exiled to Purgatory, the species of Purgatory vampires might never have appeared in this world.

There was a commotion outside, as if there had been a commotion, perhaps a rebellion among the prisoners.

All of a sudden everything seemed to be taking a sharp turn for the worse.

It stands to reason that these crises could be easily discovered. Rand would not make such a deployment with such serious flaws, allowing the enemy to suddenly appear in his conference room and allowing the prisoners who are still under custody to cause unrest at will.

Normally, this would not happen.

“If there is no problem with our deployment, then it is… Grand Duke Vladimir, the evil demigod who is far away in Purgatory, who paid a certain price and took certain measures.” Rand judged.

The air was filled with the malice of the vampire archduke far away in purgatory.

It wasn’t a decisive kill, and it couldn’t even be considered a real personal attack. It was just a sincere and malicious act.

Use some means to try to kill Rand. If you can kill him, that’s the best. If you can’t, then wait for the next chance.

The contradictions between the two sides have long been irreconcilable and will eventually come to a head.

The situation now seems critical, but in this ordinary meeting room that is neither in line with the style of the Duke nor the style of the ancient elves, a man and a white-haired elf are not very nervous.

Everyone had already made plans for the Vlagier Guild to try to attack Rand.

After all, the hostility between the two sides is obvious. And a demigod vampire who has lived for a long time will definitely have some unexpected methods.

In layman’s terms, Rand’s Armored Eternal Bastion was actually brought here.

Rand opened the door to the basement and entered the power armor.

The sound of metal rubbing against each other shrilly on the basement steps.

The iron boots stepped on the ground with a heavy, dull sound like a heartbeat.

The frozen core glowed on the chest of the power armor.

Rand stepped back onto the ground, and the metal armor opened the door.

Vampires with a strong smell of sulfur have surrounded this place, and the space rift that sent them to this world is slowly closing.

There are nearly a hundred of them, although there is no way in this world to judge the enemy’s strength by their aura.

But looking at the bodies and postures of these Purgatory vampires, we can still make some judgments.

The strength should be between elite and superior.

It’s not a very terrifying power.

If there were a head-on clash on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of these mutated vampires would definitely not be able to match that of hundreds of heavily armored knights.

That is to say, they are no match for the Rand Guards.

If on the battlefield, Rand has countless ways to defeat this infernal vampire force.

But everything is relative.

The top professionals, if they have enough room to maneuver and complex terrain to maneuver, can have a chance to defeat hundreds of veterans.

But if they are surrounded, dozens of experienced veterans can kill the top professionals.

The bodies of top-level professionals have undergone incomprehensible changes, and they must possess power that represents their own essence.

For example, Rand’s [Stranger], and Elsa’s [Walking in the Void] or [Universal Hands].

These can all bring about a significant increase in combat effectiveness.

But unless they have some outrageous ability like metal skin, the highest-level professionals are basically mortals.

A flesh and blood body cannot stop arrows and spears, and physical strength is limited.

Being surrounded by nearly a hundred Purgatory vampires who are at least as strong as human elite professionals is almost a death sentence for ordinary top-level professionals.

Rand knelt on one knee, picked up the giant sword, and then slowly stood up. Rand, wearing power armor and holding up the giant sword, really looked like an iron knight.

And Lisa, who was only wearing a simple white dress with a khaki cape on the outside, looked like a princess protected by a knight.

With her white hair and golden eyes, Lisa was not affected at all by the malicious scarlet gaze, and she stood out beautifully among the sulfur and autumn wind.

If it weren’t a tense life-and-death moment, Rand might even forget some of Lysa’s personality and be fascinated by this fairy-like elf.

And now, Rand just chuckled in his power armor: “Princess Lysa, come behind me.”

The beautiful ancient elf blinked her majestic and arrogant golden eyes, turned her head and curled her lips at an angle that Rand could not see.

She moved lightly and obediently came behind Rand’s tall power armor.

He whispered, “Then Mr. Knight Land, please protect me well.”

In fact, Rand didn’t know too much about Lisa’s fighting ability, he could only be sure that she was at least at the stronger level among the top ones.

But no matter how powerful it is, it is just flesh and blood. Rand has touched Lysa’s skin, and he is sure that such tender skin cannot withstand the claws of the Purgatory vampire and the thunder of the false Azure King.

And the next moment, Lysa came behind Rand.

The thunder of the false Azure King has arrived.

It was a beam of light that seemed to be able to penetrate the earth.

Its power is not as strong as the original thunder, and it does not have the terrifying power to destroy everything, but for ordinary people, it is still an irresistible destruction.

And just as the thunder shone brightly, even overshadowing the scorching sun and making the sky suddenly bright, Lysa, who was hiding behind Rand, tapped her fingers.

Green vines began to grow on the surface of Rand’s power armor, and in an instant the vines covered the entire armor.

Thunder struck the power armor.

The vines that covered the power armor turned black in an instant and turned into some carbonized fragments that fell to the ground.

Rand’s body in the power armor was only slightly charred, but soon began to heal slowly. Rand noticed the vines that suddenly appeared, and the damage of the thunder was lower than expected. It seemed that Lisa had some magical means, and at the same time –

Lysa has drawn her bow and drawn her arrow.

The speed at which the emerald green power crossed space seemed no slower than thunder.

Without the need for Rand’s divine power to assist in controlling it, the arrow pierced into the body of the Pseudo Azure King.

After that, green plants began to grow.

Arcs of electricity flashed on the surface of the Pseudo Azure King, but the plants just kept charring and withering, but soon grew out again.

The false Azure King easily turned into a mummy and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Rand, whose damage from the thunderbolt had eased, had already picked up his greatsword and began to kill the Purgatory vampires.

Although the permafrost core would cause irreversible damage to the body, it was really nothing to Rand. As long as he could keep his breath and sacrifice himself, it would be fine. Of course, he had already moved the altar here, and he could be resurrected with full blood by sacrificing himself after the battle.

Even if the battle is not over yet, if he lets Lisa hold out for a while, he can run over and sacrifice himself, and he can quickly revive with full health.

The fighting power of the Purgatory vampires is indeed impressive. They are agile and difficult to hit, but they are very strong and have fangs and claws.

But unfortunately, the fangs and claws are not as hard as the magic metal.

And Lisa’s arrows are definitely faster than the speed at which these Purgatory vampires can dodge, and Lisa seems to be able to control plants to a certain extent.

After the vampire is killed by an arrow, plants will use the body of the Purgatory vampire as nutrients, begin to grow, and attack other Purgatory vampires.

With the help of these plants, Rand was able to kill more Purgatory vampires more easily.

And soon, the high-level officials of the Sanctuary dealt with the rebellion and came to help.

According to the plan, Rand and Lysa could handle most of the dangers, but the high-level officials of the Sanctuary were still worried, so they rushed over quickly.

And when the high-level officials of the Sanctuary arrived, the Purgatory vampires were slaughtered one-sidedly.

Lisa also put away her bow and arrow.

She actually didn’t hide much from Rand.

It is difficult for these enemies to cause harm to someone like her.

But I didn’t expect that I would be protected by Rand because of this.

Lysa brushed her long white hair. Since Rand was really standing in front of her, her white hair and beautiful dress were not dirty by the battle.

It seems that it feels good to be protected occasionally.
