My Players Are So Fierce

“If I couldn’t even discover this, then I deserve to be killed by a poison in the palace struggle.

The spiritual energy items they carry were made by you, right?

Quite useful indeed.

If I hadn’t secretly observed their bodies after their deaths last night, I wouldn’t have discovered this secret.”

“It seems I need to upgrade my concealment items again.”

Lady Cui Si huffed and said,

“Fine, since you’ve seen through me, I won’t pretend anymore.

This is indeed the unique summoning technique I developed through studying the Star Realm and Subspace.

They are my secret weapon to restore the glory of the Blood Vulture clan, and the person I trust the most, Little Murphy, is their commander.”

“You’d better mind your tongue, Shani, unless you want to see the Blood Vulture and Thorn clans go to war again.”

“Oh dear, auntie is threatening me, I’m so scared.”

Lady Shani playfully twirled her golden braid, her pleasant face maintained an impeccable smile, showing none of the bloodthirsty madness she displayed in battle yesterday.

She responded to Cui Si, saying,

“I’ll be leaving Transylvania to return to North Wind Castle soon.

I have many matters to attend to and no time for idle gossip.

However, before the Black Disaster arrives, I will return to inspect the situation here in Transylvania.”

“So, Cui Si, how about we, in our capacities as dukes, make a pact?”

“I’ll help you keep this secret of summoning, but the Blood Vulture clan under your command, and the Thorn Clan under mine, will form an alliance from now on!”

“When I say ‘truly form an alliance,’ I don’t mean the kind of show where we act friendly on the surface but stab each other in the back in private.

We can even exchange blood to ensure the pact is respected!”

“Hmm?

You mean… the Pact of Sacred Blood?”

Lady Cui Si looked at Shani in surprise, and asked earnestly,

“Such a sincere family pact is rare in our history.

As far as I know, it only happened once about eight hundred years ago when three clan leaders conspired to assassinate an elder.

So, who do you want to deal with?”

“Who else?”

Shani narrowed her eyes and said,

“Of course, the enemies!

In the ancient days of the Sacred Blood Struggle, the Blood Fear, Blood Vulture, and Wolf Poison joined hands to destroy the Thorn Clan’s heritage, killing our Origin Clan Leader and causing the loss of our sacred relics.”

“Now the Blood Fear and Blood Vulture clans have both suffered destruction.

Charlemagne and Salockdale have also died.

I think, Duchess Oksana would be satisfied in the spirit world.”

“However, the Wolf Poison clan, one of the murderers, has not suffered any disaster!”

“In the disaster of Cardman city, the Wolf Poison clan also contributed.

Old Edward and his wolf cubs are our common enemies, so, your answer is…”

“Tell the truth!

Otherwise, I can only reject you.”

Cui Si said seriously,

“You, as a duchess, wouldn’t wage such a large-scale war due to historical factors.

That’s an old matter from eight hundred years ago.

I see that you, the crazy one who dared to kill the elders, are not the kind fox who respects traditions.”

“Speak!”

“Why are you targeting the Wolf Poison clan?”

“Sigh, it’s getting harder and harder to trick people.

You are indeed a knowledgeable aunt.”

Lady Shani laughed and teased Cui Si who hid her emotions under a charming expression.

She played with her braid and told the real reason,

“Currently, I am the intelligence officer for Her Majesty the Wolf Queen, and I’ve confirmed that I have gained a formidable opponent in my ‘business’.

The Wolf Poison clan, pledging allegiance to King Louis, will become more active under the protection of Golden Flower Kingdom.

That’s inevitable!”

“Ah, this line of business is getting tougher.”

“But we need to be professional.

As a member of the royal family of the Nordtoff Kingdom, my majesty needs me to reduce the strength of potential enemies for the future confrontations in various fields.”

“Is this reason enough?”

“That makes sense.”

Cui Si nodded in satisfaction and said,

“In principle, I can agree.

But what’s your plan?”

“Let’s just wait for the right time.”

Lady Shani gently extended her hand to Cui Si.

The Blood Vulture Duke also removed his glove and clasped hands with Lady Shani.

The moment their fair and graceful fingers touched, a drop of fresh blood oozed from each of their palms and blended together, then returned to their respective bodies.

The Covenant of the Holy Blood was accomplished!

Of course, this covenant doesn’t hold any binding power over the Golden Stage blood race; however, both Cui Si and Lady Shani acknowledge the advantages that unity can bring to them.

The increasingly unruly Wolf Poison Clan indeed needs a severe lesson!

This is the rule of the blood race!

Whenever a clan becomes too powerful, there will always be other clans coming together to suppress it.

Ah, this is a sacred tradition!

“Where’s Bull Bull?”

Dressed in her much-loved Midnight Hunter ceremonial garb and preparing to attend her first initiation ceremony, Little Wei Ming chewed on malted sugar and curiously asked Sister Pomegranate, who was also dressed in the ceremonial garb.

Sister Pomegranate made a face and pointed upwards, saying:

“He’s chatting with the NPC he brought back.

I don’t know why, but it feels like the relationship between that smelly little brother of mine and that NPC is unusual; is it just me overthinking?”

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Blood Eagle Corridor.

“Are you really set on becoming a vampire?”

A weakened Lady Ambo was still trying to dissuade her warrior, Bull Bull, but him already wearing the Midnight Hunter ceremonial garb indicated his decision.

Not far behind Bull Bull were his two younger brothers, Khaki Tontita and Ni Gei Lu Da You, who were also his roommates.

These two athletes had completed their elite challenge with the help of Stick Brother’s new battle strategy just yesterday morning.

Right now, they were whispering to each other with exceptionally “wicked” expressions on their faces.

However, Bull Bull didn’t find anything strange about Lady Ambo’s attempt to dissuade him.

He responded to her worry in a way similar to how he would talk to a friend:

“Didn’t we discuss this topic before?”

“Don’t worry, becoming a vampire doesn’t mean that I’ll turn into a monster, it’s just a choice of power!

With power, I can fulfill my ambition!”

“Even though I don’t know what my ambition is.”

“But I’ve already made a promise with my other friends, I can’t back out now.”

“Just because of a promise?

You’re going to venture into the darkness, withstand the temptation of the dark until one day you degrade and become a vile creature?”

Lady Ambo excitedly retorted:

“You deserve a better life!

You’re such an excellent young man…”

“Then let’s make a promise?”

Bull Bull saw that it was almost time and said to Lady Ambo:

“You’re a witch hunter, a warrior who hunts down evil creatures.

So, if one day, I turn into the evil creature in your eyes, you’ll be the one to kill me, alright?”

Lady Ambo fell silent.

After several seconds, she extended her hand to hold Bull Bull’s and quietly threatened:

“Then you’d better keep yourself in check, my warrior.

If one day I find out that you’ve become a monster, my arrows won’t spare you!”

“Alright, it is a deal then.”

Bull Bull gave a grin.

Then, Bull Bull turned around under Lady Ambo’s worried gaze and walked into the corridor with his two friends, who were still discussing something about ‘paper dolls’, ‘wives,’ and other things that Lady Ambo didn’t understand.

But the relationship between Bull Bull and Lady Ambo was purely a friendship one!

Well, at least for now…
