The First Vampire

Chapter 687: 685 Attack (Part 1)_1
 

It was the darkest part of the morning, just before dawn, when Knight Pamela suddenly woke up from sleep.

As a powerful knight, Pamela hadn’t had a nightmare for many years, but just now, he suddenly felt a strong palpitation.

It was as if a pair of hostile eyes in the darkness were staring at him.

Knight Pamela looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.

But he was no longer sleepy, so he got up, washed his face, put on his armor, walked out of the guard post, and went to the top of the city.

As the commander of the Dragon City Imperial Guard, Knight Pamela didn’t need to keep watch personally, but recently he worried about the Orc squad that had infiltrated into the Empire’s heartland and was yet to be found, so he stayed in the city.

Of course, this was just an excuse on the surface.

The real reason why Knight Pamela stayed in the city was to avoid Colin.

When he received the news that his brother, Prince Lexie, was killed in Springs Town, Knight Pamela was certain that it was not the orcs who killed his brother, but Colin Angler!

Because he also knew about Prince Lexie’s plan to deal with Colin, and that Colin had just ascended to the Holy Field, possessing the strength to fight against Prince Lexie.

As for the Orcs, unless an orc army surrounded Springs town, there was no possibility of killing a Holy Knight.

So, ever since Colin returned to Dragon City, Knight Pamela was worried about being assassinated and hid in the Imperial Guard under the pretext of preventing an orc attack.

In this way, if the newly promoted Holy Knight really intended to assassinate him, Knight Pamela could at least contend with him with the help of the Imperial Guard.

Pamela believed that as long as Colin didn’t want to cause a civil unrest in the Empire, he wouldn’t dare to assassinate him so blatantly.

Once Reggie ascended to the throne, he wouldn’t need to fear Colin Angler anymore, and he could even plan how to avenge his brother…

Bang!

A loud noise interrupted Knight Pamela’s thoughts, and for a moment, the whole city tower shook.

A shudder ran through Knight Pamela’s heart, and he immediately shouted:

“Quick! Quick, to the West City Gate!”

After speaking, he ran towards the direction of the West City Gate.

When he arrived, he found that the chain of the City Gate drawbridge had already broken, and the loud noise just now was the sound of the drawbridge falling to the ground.

A chill ran through Knight Pamela’s heart because he knew that such drawbridge chains wouldn’t break on their own, they must have been severed by someone!

And to silently sever such thick iron chains under the guard of the guards, it must be a Holy Field powerhouse!

For a moment, Knight Pamela seemed to feel once again the gaze that woke him up from his nightmare.

He looked around warily, but could only see an impenetrable darkness.

“Sir, the drawbridge chain has broken. I’ll send someone to call the craftsman to repair it right away…”

“Repair my ass!” Knight Pamela shouted angrily, “Sound the alarm! We’re under attack!”

“Under attack?” The deputy officer hesitated for a moment, wondering if Knight Pamela was making a big fuss out of a small matter, as there was no sign of the enemy…

Before he could speak, he heard a series of screams coming from the city gate:

“Ah! We’re under attack! We’re under attack!”

“Orcs! Orcs have broken in!”

“Quick! Block the city gate!”

…

The shrill sound of the horn broke the silence of the night and woke up the sleeping Dragon City.

At the West City Gate, the hastily prepared Imperial Guard couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the orcs.

Although the number of these orcs wasn’t large, their individual combat strength was extremely strong and they were fearless in the face of death, making the Imperial Guard pay a painful price in an instant.

Due to the rapid fall of the West City Gate, reinforcements couldn’t arrive in time, and for a moment, the situation seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

What was worse was that although the commander of the Imperial Guard, Knight Pamela, was present, he dared not stand out to boost morale, let alone lead his soldiers to counterattack.

Knight Pamela always thought there was something wrong with tonight’s attack, and it might be a trap against him.

That gaze in the darkness seemed to be staring at him all the time, preventing Knight Pamela from relaxing at all.

But as the battle continued to deteriorate, there were inevitably fewer and fewer soldiers around Knight Pamela.

The West City Gate had become a massive meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of the Imperial Guard soldiers.

With a burning heart, Pamela grabbed the deputy officer and asked:

“Where are the reinforcements? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”

The deputy officer seemed to not understand the panic of his superior, because in his opinion, the current situation had not yet reached the point of no return. Although the orcs were fierce, there weren’t many of them. As long as they could withstand the hardest wave of attacks, they could stabilize the defense line.

“Sir, reinforcements should be on their way. Also, I have sent someone to notify the reserve team, you shouldn’t worry too much…”

Before he finished speaking, a roar of beasts suddenly came from behind them.

They saw orc soldiers climbing onto the city wall, roaring as they rushed over.

“Form up! Meet the enemy!”

Deputy officer drew out his long sword and shouted loudly.

At the same time, he finally realised that something was wrong.

From the initial breaking of the drawbridge chains to the orcs seizing the chance to break in, everything pointed to a premeditated inside and outside collusion.

And now, this group of orcs could accurately locate the Imperial Guard commander in the dark, which was simply unreasonable.

Unfortunately, there was no time for extra thinking on the battlefield.

The orcs who stormed up had collided with Knight Pamela’s personal guards, and for a while, the killing noises drowned the sky, and blood surged.

At this moment, Knight Pamela was completely focused, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He could feel that terrifying gaze, like the breath of death, enveloping his entire body, making it impossible for him to escape.

The next moment, this long torment finally ended.

The sight of Knight Pamela was completely occupied by a huge phantasm of a white wolf, and his ears were filled with the deafening sound of wolf howls.

It was as if at this moment, he was pulled away from the battlefield and brought into a strange space.

Ahhh——

Knight Pamela let out a roar of despair and anger, but found that his movements were as slow as a dying old man.

The blade light in front of him, which seemed to run through the heavens and the earth, brought a wave of unstoppable momentum in his personal guards, then swept towards him.

Whiz!

Blood light flashed across the city, and the entire battlefield seemed to quiet for a moment.

The deputy officer turned abruptly, only to see Knight Pamela and more than a dozen bodyguards, like wheat in a field, being severed at the waist by the death scythe flashing through the darkness.

In the midst of his shock, wave after wave of orcs surged up from below the city, gradually drowning them out.
