Meng Hao was a little angry.

A week ago, he had just spent a lot of effort obtaining the binding skill book of the vampire bloodline from District 6 of the Zombie Apocalypse. Then, he spent a lot of effort and money transferring the skill book from District 6 to District 9.

Originally, he had planned to make a big splash in District 9.

He hadn’t expected that his subordinates here would be more and more stupid.

It wasn’t until the art gallery was set ablaze that he realized there was a problem.

What had they been doing all these years? How could the branch of the Holy Court remain undiscovered for so long?

Meng Hao felt that these people were terrible at doing things.

What was even more incomprehensible to him was who had actually taken action to eliminate the lackeys of the Holy Light hiding in the art gallery.

And then there was the incident that had occurred in the neighboring Victoria City.

It was very unusual.

Something big must have happened.

Meng Hao could vaguely sense that there was definitely a connection between the two events.

There was something very wrong with the vampires tonight.

“I get it, Boss. Everything was for the mission.” Ah Ding had always been cheerful. “Boss, you have a point. We went there to take the mission and earn the reward, right?”

Meng Hao nodded helplessly.

Faced with this carefree Ah Ding who was always cheerful and full of positive energy, he felt that it was useless to be angry.

It was a waste of talent to let him join the vampires!

“The vampire bloodline is only the first step. The mission won’t fall from the sky. You have to fight for it yourself.”

“I understand, Boss! I’ll continue to work even harder!”

….

Under the moonlight, in Victoria City.

Eleven beams of Holy Light pierced through the night sky.

A black mass of bats hovered in the low sky of the city.

Affected by the sealing magic array, the vampires were at a disadvantage when dealing with the Holy Court.

After receiving the signal to gather, a large number of vampires withdrew from the battle and gathered in the air.

Almost all the vampires in Victoria City gathered in the air.

They formed a dark mass that blotted out the sky.

Fang Heng landed on the top of a tall building and reverted to his human form. He looked at the alchemy magic array in the city from above.

He had just looked down at the entire city from above and he could confirm that there were eleven pillars of light in the city.

These eleven pillars of light were the nodes of the main weakening array.

The eleven pillars of light worked together with the core of the main alchemy magic array to amplify the spread.

There were strong and weak pillars of light.

The pillar of light that had just been destroyed was considered relatively strong. From this, it could be deduced that there were strong and weak core nodes as well.

As for the position of the magic array’s core, it could not be seen for the time being. It should have been intentionally erased by the person who set up the magic array.

Fang Heng quickly analyzed the current choices.

For a huge magic array, every node that was destroyed would slightly affect the magic array’s operational efficiency.

Of course, the most effective way was to directly destroy the core of the magic array.

According to the Pious Guild, the core should be at the headquarters of the Holy Court, the ecological environment protection zone on the east side of the city.

That place was rarely visited by citizens, so it was indeed suitable for the Holy Court to hide their tracks.

“Marquis.” The bat-shaped Venerate hovered beside Fang Heng. “A large number of holy cast knights are gathering quickly. They are gathering toward the central building of the vampires. They should be planning to attack the central building.”

“Yes.”

As expected.

The strategy of the Holy Court was predictable.

The central building of the vampires had a teleportation passage. Although Victoria City was only a small city and did not have much backup energy, the vampires from various regions would still enter Victoria City through the teleportation passage to provide support in an emergency.

This would bring trouble for the Holy Court to completely control Victoria City.

Therefore, the Holy Court would occupy the central building of the vampires and occupy the teleportation passage at the first opportunity.

The advantages of the vampires were air control and mobility. Their investigative ability was far superior to the Holy Court.

The advantage of the Holy Court was the magic array.

Under the cover of the magic array of the Holy Light, the strength of all the vampires was greatly reduced. On the contrary, the strength of the Holy Court was partially increased.

So what happened next…

Enhanced the advantage and made up for the weakness.

It was very disadvantageous to rely on vampires to fight head-on, so there was no need for them to join the frontal battlefield.

It was the zombie clone’s turn.

Fang Heng opened the game log and looked at the game time.

It was about time.

The zombie clone’s resurrection time was almost up.

The magic array targeting vampires would not have any effect on the zombie clone.

They would rely on the zombie clone as the battle output and use the vampires to scout and assist.

“Marquis, what should we do?” Seeing Fang Heng’s pondering face, Venerate suggested, “Should we return to the central building and activate the teleportation array to ask for help from the Elders Council? Report this to the Elders Council. If we use the teleportation array at full strength, the following reinforcements will arrive very soon…”

“No, Venerate.”

Fang Heng raised his hand to stop Venerate from continuing.

“There’s no need to trouble the Elders Council. We can settle the matter in Victoria City ourselves.”

Venerate was stunned. He looked at Fang Heng and suddenly wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Of course, he could not look for the Elders Council!

He still needed many Tier 1 evolution cystal to level up. The evaluation of the mission was still only A-, he had not obtained the holy water, and his sacred skill had not been upgraded…

So…

How could they let the reinforcements of the vampires come to snatch the resources?

Whether it was the evolution crystals, the number of the vampire reputation mission points, the holy energy contained in the sealing stone of the magic array node constructed by the Holy Court, or the sacred water of the Holy Court…

“I want all of them!”

A hint of greed flashed in Fang Heng’s eyes.

“Venerate.”

Venerate replied respectfully, “I’m here, Marquis.”

“Tell the Council of elders that we are doing very well. We can solve the problem of Victoria City on our own. We don’t need outside support.”

Fang Heng stood on high ground and looked down at the entire city below. “Don’t you think this is an opportunity? Venerate.”

Venerate was puzzled and said, “I’m short-sighted. I can’t understand your meticulous arrangements, Marquis.”

“The entire Victoria City, and even the forces of the Holy Court in the surrounding areas of Victoria City, will emerge from the shadows. This is an opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop.” Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought of a plan, “Let them come. The more, the better. We will deal with all of them.”

It turned out that the Marquis had such a grand plan!

Venerate immediately said excitedly, “Yes, Marquis, what should we do?”

“Cut off all the communication equipment, power generation facilities, and so on in the city. I want communication in this city to be completely paralyzed. If we encounter the Holy Court, we don’t need to fight it head-on. We can just take a roundabout route.”

“Also, strengthen the air patrol. I want to know the movements of the Holy Court at any time.”

“Yes! Marquis!”

Venerate took down Fang Heng’s words one by one.

He could not understand why Fang Heng would do this.

Not fighting the Holy Court directly, not calling for help from the outside, but destroying the city’s communication system instead?

What exactly was he trying to do?

In more than two hours, the sky would be bright.

At that time, the overall strength of the vampires would be slightly reduced.

Despite having many doubts in his heart, Venerate still chose to firmly accept Fang Heng’s orders to do things.

“Go.”
