Master
Another village was destroyed by William, the Progenitor Lycan, and turned into complete ruins.
After Chen Mo gave the order, the Knights quickly sprang into action. Andrew, Victor, and others led their Knight to search the area in search of traces left by William, while Amelia led her Knight to burn the bodies of the civilians who had been bitten to death by William.
"Split into two teams, pour oil on them, and burn it all before they deform!"
If these corpses are not dealt with in time, they will soon all turn into werewolves.
Marcus rode up to Chen Mo.
We can't hurt him!
Judging from Chen Mo's posture, Marcus was very worried that Chen Mo would kill William directly.
"I promised you, didn't I? But William must be kept under control!"
"I will never allow this to happen again!"
Chen Mo's voice was cold and resolute!
Marcus said no more and was about to lead his Knight to find William when Chen Mo stopped him.
"Marcus!"
"Stay with me!"
Chen Mo didn't believe that Marcus would obediently follow his orders.
Marcus dared not disobey Chen Mo's orders and had no choice but to stay behind, watching Amelia's Knight search for corpses from house to house and burn them all with oil.
The village was not large, with a population of less than a hundred. Amelia's hundred Knight quickly searched more than half of the village, and all the corpses they found were set on fire and quickly burned into piles of charcoal.
But as time went on, the remaining villagers' corpses began to turn into zombies, quickly transforming into ferocious and towering werewolves.
However, they failed to cause much trouble. These newly transformed werewolves were no match for the powerful Vampire Knight. At most, they only added a little trouble to their cleanup operation and still could not escape the fate of being killed and burned.
Just as Amelia's Knight were slaying these newly transformed werewolves, a Knight who had gone to search for William suddenly returned.
"We've found him!"
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. He glanced at the dilapidated village engulfed in flames and said coldly.
"Walk!"
After saying that, Chen Mo pulled on the reins, spurred his warhorse, and followed the Knight toward the place where William had been found.
A deep worry flashed in Marcus's eyes, and he quickly followed closely behind.
Chen Mo followed the Knight to a grove of trees not far from the village. Surrounded by dozens of Knights, a werewolf with white fur, taller and stronger than the ordinary werewolves they had encountered before, was howling and roaring incessantly.
However, faced with the fully armed Vampire Knight, it was unable to escape their encirclement for the time being.
In particular, there are special crossbow bolts with iron chains attached to the back, specifically designed for capturing werewolves.
These crossbow bolts are fired from a powerful crossbow. Once they pierce a werewolf's body, the arrowhead will automatically open and lock firmly into the werewolf's body. Knight can then control the werewolf from a distance by pulling the iron chain attached to the arrow's tail.
Now, this huge werewolf has several of these crossbow bolts stuck in its body, several iron chains being pulled by the Knight, and several more chains being tied to the trunk of a large tree, firmly controlling it in place, making it impossible for it to break free.
Marcus was right behind Chen Mo, also saw what was happening in the arena and immediately jumped off his horse and rushed forward.
"No!"
"Don't hurt him!"
Marcus's face was full of anxiety as he shouted to stop them, but the Knight present ignored him and continued to pull hard on the iron chain in their hands.
The werewolf howled in pain, struggling to break free from the chains binding it.
Marcus was furious when he saw this.
"Stop! You'll kill him!"
Marcus rushed forward, shoving aside a Vampire Knight who was struggling to pull on the chains. He then drew his longsword from his waist and looked at the other Knight beside him.
Another Vampire Knight beside him immediately turned his crossbow towards him, while the Knight he had pushed aside also drew his longsword and stared at him with murderous intent.
Victor, who was directing the operation, glanced at Marcus and swung his longsword.
"Increase the intensity!"
With the two Knight beside him keeping a close eye on him, and Victor a warning glance, Marcus dared not make any rash moves and could only anxiously watch the scene unfold.
Under Victor's command, the Vampire Knight tightened their grip on the chains, and one Knight raised his crossbow, aiming at the giant werewolf's calf.
Under Marcus's worried gaze, the Knight pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and a sharp, specially designed bolt flew out, trailing a long chain, and accurately struck the werewolf's ankle.
After the crossbow bolt pierced its ankle, the mechanism in its head snapped open and locked firmly into its leg.
Another Knight rushed forward to help, and together they finally managed to pull the chains and bring the giant werewolf to the ground.
"William!"
Marcus cried out in a low voice, his heart aching. This enormous white werewolf was none other than William, the Progenitor Lycan, his twin brother with whom he had grown up and had a very close relationship since childhood!
"Marcus!"
Chen Mo walked up from behind Marcus with a stern face and reprimanded him sternly.
Upon hearing this, Marcus turned to look at Chen Mo and said angrily.
You shouldn't have hurt him!
"Hand him over to me as we agreed!"
"Otherwise, you will pay the price for breaking your promise!"
Upon hearing Marcus's threat, a fierce glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes as he stared at him with murderous intent.
"Then you'll know what your fate will be!"
"Your sympathy for this Beast is utterly foolish!"
"Your brother has completely lost control!"
"Things must be done my way!"
Seeing Chen Mo's resolute attitude, Marcus was afraid that he would kill William directly.
"You know perfectly well what the outcome would be if you killed me or William."
Marcus once said that once he or William died, all their descendants would die.
Although Chen Mo had always been focused on exterminating werewolves, since the crossbow specifically designed to capture werewolves was created some time ago, Chen Mo has started capturing the remaining werewolves after the battle was decided.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't capture these werewolves to protect the vampires who were afraid of sunlight and could only hide in the shadows during the day, as is depicted in the movies.
With armor that can completely block out the sun, there's no need for that at all. Chen Mo captured the werewolf to hone his combat skills.
These werewolves are incredibly strong and fast. They have no reason and only know how to kill in a frenzy. Every attack is a full-force effort. A sufficient number of werewolves can put some pressure on Chen Mo and serve as a combat skill.
Moreover, werewolves are physically strong and have a high recovery ability. Unless they suffer fatal injuries, they can recover quickly, making them the best sparring partners.
When Marcus saw that Chen Mo had finally started capturing werewolves, Marcus was very excited. As long as the werewolves were useful to Chen Mo, he would not want them all to die, and William's safety would be guaranteed.
"If you dare mention his name again, you've already chosen his fate!"
Chen Mo's low voice carried a chilling undertone.
Chen Mo didn't take the werewolves seriously. Even if Chen Mo already knew Marcus's lies, Chen Mo wouldn't allow anyone to threaten him!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Vampire Knight around him raised their crossbows and pointed them at Marcus.
With so many powerful crossbow bolts pointed at him, Marcus was under immense pressure. Even if he used his hidden strength, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed from such a barrage of crossbow bolts.
Looking at the Knight on both sides who were still pointing their crossbows at him, Marcus had no choice but to lower his head towards Chen Mo and whisper.
"Master! What do we do next?"
"Lock him up forever! The farther away from you, the better!"
Chen Mo led the Knights back to Blackrock Castle.
Having identified the source of the werewolf calamity, William, the Progenitor Lycan, Chen Mo planned to gather craftsmen to build a dungeon to imprison him, while the best craftsmen in the territory were all in the secret workshop.
Having not visited the workshop for a while, Chen Mo decided to go there in person.
The workshop moved into the vast Blackrock Castle along with the Knights. Chen Mo specially designated an area for these artisans and their families to work and live. They worked and lived here, so the entire workshop looked more like an independent town within a town.
Although the territory has expanded many times over, the workshops that originally had dozens of people have not expanded much. The number of craftsmen has only increased to less than one hundred, and with their families, there are only about three hundred people.
After all, Chen Mo mainly manufactures luxury goods or exclusive equipment and items, and the demand is not large, so there is no need for too much production capacity. These people are enough, and there is no need to expand excessively.
Riding his horse through the gate guarded by a squadron of fifty Knight, Chen Mo slowly entered the workshop area deep within the Castle.
The new workshop area is much more spacious than the original manor, with living and working areas completely separated. Walking down the street, you can see many children playing and having fun.
Just as Chen Mo was looking around at the situation in the workshop area, a beautiful little girl suddenly ran towards the middle of the road while playing with her companions. She ran right in front of Chen Mo's warhorse.
The black warhorse beneath Chen Mo was tall and strong, with four powerful legs. Even a powerful werewolf could be seriously injured by a single kick, and an ordinary adult could be killed instantly.
If she were trampled by this tall, heavy warhorse, her small frame would be in grave danger.
One of her companions behind her noticed her dangerous situation and hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Selene, come back quickly!"
