Chapter 309: Chapter 231: Moon Shadow Hunters and Silver Moon Knights Unleash Divine Power; Blood Moon Ceremony, the Vampire Count’s Fury
Silently, the west gate of the War Fortress was opened.
The Moon Shadow Hunter and Silver Moon Knight, two cavalry corps composed of Moon Elves, blended into the night and moonlight, slipping silently out of the War Fortress.
Whether it was the Moon Shadow Leopards ridden by the female Moon Elves or the Moon Shadow Tigers ridden by the male Moon Elves,
their mounts all did their best to spread the soft pads on their paws, reducing the sounds they made.
Utterly silent, only a cold killing intent permeated the darkness!
The two cavalry corps were extremely familiar with the terrain around the Dwarf War Fortress, having even conducted numerous military drills there.
Aided by shadows and moonlight,
they precisely bypassed the overt and hidden sentries deployed by the Vampire Corps.
These Vampire sentries simply couldn’t believe that any other clan would launch a sneak attack on them at night!
They firmly believed that they were the sole hunters of the night!
But soon, this belief of theirs would be shattered!
When the two cavalry corps reached their designated attack positions,
most of the Vampire Soldiers in the vampire camp were still hauling supplies and setting up their barracks, chaotic and completely unprepared.
The mountain-like, thick-skinned Ninth Level Blood Beast that had appeared during the day was now lying in the center of the camp, letting out deep snores.
Aria, the Moon Shadow Hunter Cavalry Corps Leader, and Kael, leader of the Silver Moon Knights, merely exchanged a glance,
and a silent understanding was reached.
No more words were needed.
Aria raised her hand in a ready signal.
Then,
the Moon Shadow Hunters were the first to strike!
Riding their Moon Shadow Leopards, they emerged from the shadows, attacking the vampires with their longbows and moon blades in their own preferred styles.
Arrows imbued with Moonlight and Holy Light were like whispers of death.
They first shot toward the sentries inside and outside the camp, the patrols, and the Vampire Mages who were setting up Guard Spells.
Many vampires saw the sudden appearance of the Elf Cavalry in their camp, and before they could even raise an alarm,
they were pierced through the throat and heart by arrows fired from the darkness.
At almost the exact same moment the Moon Shadow Hunter Cavalry Corps launched their attack,
the Silver Moon Knights also charged!
"For the great God of Nature!"
"Silver Moon Knight Cavalry Corps, charge with me!"
The deep and powerful voice of Kael, leader of the Silver Moon Knights, rang out across the outskirts of the vampire camp,
shattering the tranquility of the night!
With Kael raising his Moonlight Spear high at their head,
the Silver Moon Knights instantly accelerated to maximum speed.
Their Moon Shadow Tiger mounts let out deep roars,
like arrows loosed from a bowstring,
and charged violently toward the vampires who were hauling military supplies and food!
"Enemy attack!"
"It’s an enemy attack!"
"It’s cavalry sent by those Elves!"
"Quick, stop them!"
"All Vampire Soldiers, form ranks immediately!"
The vampire camp immediately exploded into chaos.
Many of the Vampire Soldiers hauling supplies, who weren’t carrying their Armor or Weapons, panicked.
They abruptly threw the supplies in their hands to the ground and rushed toward their tents.
The Vampire Commanders shouted themselves hoarse, trying to command the Vampire Soldiers to form an orderly formation,
but, driven by the desperate survival instinct to find their weapons and be able to fight back instead of being slaughtered,
and faced with the Silver Moon Knights’ charging Long Spear Array infused with Moonlight and a Holy Aura,
any formation the Vampire Corps hastily assembled was torn apart in an instant, as if it were made of paper.
The Long Spear Array transformed into streaks of silver light, flinging aside any Vampire Soldiers who blocked their path, along with their armor.
The claws and fangs of the Moon Shadow Tigers were also exceptionally sharp, tearing apart any Vampire Soldier who dared to get close!
The Angel Power granted by [Ancient Heaven], along with its accompanying 10% True Damage,
was devastatingly effective against the Dark Creatures!
Every Vampire Soldier they struck fell to the ground in agony.
"Bastards!"
"I didn’t even come looking for you, yet you have the audacity to come for me!"
"Do you really think we vampires are such easy prey?"
Startled by the commotion in the camp, Vampire Viscount Hercules
burst out of the largest tent.
When he saw the utter chaos before him, and the great fire raging where the camp’s food and armaments were stored,
Vampire Viscount Hercules trembled with rage.
It seemed his strenuous movements had torn open his still-unhealed wound, causing fresh blood to spurt out!
"I’ll make you pay!"
Vampire Viscount Hercules ignored his own condition and attempted to chant a large-scale Dark Magic spell.
However,
SWISH!
Aria, the Moon Shadow Hunter Cavalry Corps Leader, who had long been watching this spot, fired a cunning and silent arrow from the shadows!
As Vampire Viscount Hercules watched the arrow fly toward his heart,
the memory of the arrow fired by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana with the Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact, Natural Fury, seemed to reappear.
The psychological trauma resurfaced!
Vampire Viscount Hercules was forced to interrupt his casting.
He wretchedly used the blood in his own body to conjure a blood shield, blocking the arrow.
Vampire Viscount Hercules was both shocked and furious!
Meanwhile, in the center of the vampire camp, the Ninth Level Blood Beast was also awakened by the clamor.
It let out a tremendous roar!
Its massive body rose, and it began to attack its surroundings indiscriminately!
However, the only ones near it were Vampire Soldiers,
which meant the Vampire Soldiers were in for some terrible luck!
And Vampire Viscount Hercules, the only one who had any control over this Ninth Level Blood Beast,
