---- Chapter 2921 Andrew was stunned. The three billion-dor bounty from the Dark ns was no small amount. From what he knew, Guillermo''s bounty from Dark Trinity was only five billion Meurico dors. At the top of the Dark ns'' wanted list was none other than Reginald, the leader of Dragonfang, with a bounty of 12 billion Meurico dors. Moreover, it was a joint bounty issued by the Lomuia Grand Cathedral and the Dark ns. Juno nced at Andrew and said coldly, "So, you understand why none of us are living an easy life, right? But the one living the hardest life is Mr.
Lloyd Senior. As his son, I hope you don''t let everyone down." Andrew gripped his massive sword, responding tly, "I''ll take the vanguard." Too many exnations paled inparison to the proof of strength brought by the de in his hand. The Dragonfang warriors were undeniably powerful, but Andrew hade to the Ounds with a singr purpose: to reach the peak of martial gods. His ultimate goal was to return to Holtrien and settle a score with Guillermo and the man pulling the strings behind him. ---- Those were opponents far beyond any vampire duke like Soren. Juno shook her head.
"This is your first mission with us, so you''re aplete rookie. Your job is to cover the rear." Andrew frowned, ncing at Nyx, who sat silently in the passenger seat. Nyx, wrapped entirely in a ck robe, stared out the window and spoke softly. "What I saidst night was just a joke. You''re too delicate, too weak. Even if I were willing to let you charge into battle, Mr. Lloyd Senior would never allow it. And since he won''t, I''ll follow his wishes." The battle vehicle roared, racing across the wilderness. Suddenly, the sky ahead turned infinitely dark.
Low, menacing clouds gathered, and savage winds whipped around them. Through the window, Andrew saw bizarre, tangled trees growing ina ck-misted swamp. Only a potholed cement road led forward, cutting a path to the dark, looming castle ahead. Franz''s voice dropped to a low, serious tone. "Everyone, get ready! We''re about to arrive at Wicked Moon Hold. Soren bes incredibly strong and bloodthirsty after transforming into a vampire. We must coordinate perfectly without a single misstep." He warned, "We only have one chance.
If we can bring back ---- Soren''s head, we''ll im the massive bounty. But if we fail, we''ll draw the attention of the Dark ns. Even though Soren is half- mad and not epted by the Dark ns, the death of a vampire duke will definitely catch the attention of their headquarters." Knox drawledzily, "Got it." Juno and Petra responded, "Understood!" Nyx remained silent, but Andrew noticed she now held two blue daggers. Apparently, she was a dual-wielding assassin, which he found incredibly bizarre. A massive lightning bolt crashed from the sky, striking above Wicked Moon Hold.
Knox leaned close to Andrew, whispering, "I hate this creepy ce. Vampireirs always look like a venomous snake''s nest, but way more terrifying." He added with a grin, "Don''t worry, little buddy. Ill protect you." Andrewughed and responded, "Thanks a lot." As they were still hundreds of yards from the castle gates, the passenger door suddenly opened. Nyx, like a ghost, drifted out and quickly vanished beneath the dark sky. The others tensed, ready to move. ---- ording to Franz''s intel, Soren did not have many servants. In the Dark ns, his reputation was terrible.
The vampire duke showed signs of madness, so almost no one wanted anything to do with him. The Dark ns'' royalty had repeatedly called on Soren to lead his people into battle, but he ignored every summons. Eventually, Soren waspletely ostracized from the Dark ns. This allowed Dragonfang to strike directly. Nevertheless, one thing was certain: a vampire duke was never an opponent to be taken lightly, regardless of his mental state.
