Don't Be Cowards, Just Fight!

The middle-aged boss's warning was entirely based on the Gold Coin.

But as he closed the door again, something happened. He was leaning against the door, his face as pale as Vampires's, completely listless, muttering to himself, "They're here..."

"They're here."

Burning Ash glanced at William, then leaned closer to the window, pried open a crack, and looked out. After a while, he turned his head and shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen anything, or rather, none of the six of them felt any real danger.

William raised an eyebrow, saying as he walked upstairs, "Just get some sleep. We're Hunter, they aren't."

Several people nodded.

They all went upstairs to sleep.

This Neutral Territory territory is now shrouded in mystery.

The group was only staying here for one night, and some even considered taking a stroll around Eastsea City. If they were really scared by the Vampires in the Small Town, they might as well just pack up and go home.

Time passed gradually.

After one night...

William slept quite well, and nothing unexpected happened.

But when everyone went out in the morning, the middle-aged hotel owner was found dead in the lobby. His blood had not been drained, and his body was twisted into a pretzel shape by a tremendous force. A Gold Coin was in his mouth, and his eyes, which remained open in death, were filled with fear.

William frowned upon seeing this. "Tell the guards in town, let's go."

"Alright." Burning Ash picked up the Gold Coin from the dead man's mouth without any hesitation and went to inform the town's guards.

Neutral Lord can freely build towns within their own territories. Town mayors are often their subordinates, and although the town's soldiers are commanded by the mayor, the real military power still belongs to the lord.

It was still raining heavily outside.

The sky remained overcast and slightly chilly.

After learning of the innkeeper's death, the local mayor showed no intention of investigating William and his companions, nor did he investigate the cause of the innkeeper's death. Instead, he hastily sent guards to escort them out of the city, much like sending off the King of Hell.

Several people rode horses, braving the wind and rain, continuing their journey towards Eastsea City.

Three more days passed.

They passed through many towns, and the situation in all of them was the same: in this rainy weather, every household had their doors tightly shut, making it extremely difficult to gather any clues.

But William was getting impatient; he wanted to get straight to the point and go into Eastsea City to find out the truth.

After all, Eastsea City is not a small town outside; it has a population of over a million. Even if the Vampires are officials, they won't indiscriminately grab people and suck their blood. It's often the smaller the place, the more likely it is to cause trouble.

For example, the Emerald Grand Duchy.

Royal Family and Nobles are all Vampires.

But the Commoners within the Duchy are still living just fine; the mere rumors about Vampires don't have much of an impact.

Even the Freedom Alliance Player who entered the Emerald Grand Duchy a year in advance found no clues about Vampires within the Emerald Grand Duchy.

Even if there are any clues to the mission, they often go cold at a certain point.

Until more and more Player participated in the Vampires quests.

To participate in that clandestine mission.

But the moment when all the Player ' clues began to point to the Royal Family family and nobility.

Player gradually shifted their focus to the high-ranking King, Royal Family, and Nobles.

But no matter how unbelievable it was to the Player...

But that's the truth!

Before approaching Eastsea City.

Halfway there, Diablo couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Your Highness, along this journey, apart from a few soldiers and Commoners, we haven't seen any town officials. Are they intentionally avoiding us?"

"Yes, everyone says there are Vampires here, but I haven't seen any mayors, nor have I seen them ask us to deal with the Vampires," Wells said, puzzled.

Burning Ash laughed and said, "Maybe those town mayors are afraid of retaliation."

"Everyone says that Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord, is incredibly powerful, with hundreds of thousands of Warrior under his command. There's no reason why he couldn't even handle a few Vampires. What if the Vampires really want to take revenge on those town mayors?"

"If Bernard gets angry, do you think the Vampires can handle it?"

"After traveling around these past few days, I can confirm that there are definitely Vampires in this land. They don't strike often, and there's no pattern to their attacks. Their targets are usually young men and women, mostly Commoners, and they rarely choose slaves!"

But as everyone has probably heard, the officials of Eastsea City are basically not the targets of the Vampires' attacks.

We can assume that the officials of Eastsea City are all Professional with considerable power.

Logically, shouldn't the blood of Professional taste better?

Is it possible that Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord, is Vampires, or that he has made some kind of compromise with Vampires?

Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing Alec's words.

William didn't say anything along the way, only that there were definitely Vampires in Eastsea City, and then left it all to these guys to guess.

But I must say...

These three Legendary and two Epic weren't out of their minds either; after a series of discussions, they had already connected the Vampires with Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord.

Everything requires evidence!

Actions speak louder than words.

But sometimes, even having evidence is useless.

Just like in the previous life, after being defeated by the Dark Invasion, almost all Player became members of the Emerald Grand Duchy faction.

The Vampires naturally attacked them as well, but the Vampires thing was that they discovered that drinking the blood of the Chosen Ones was like eating shit—it was like the blood was poisonous and contained excrement.

The Chosen Ones were deemed unworthy to be their prey, and they lost all interest in attacking Player players after that.

The Chosen Ones are quite powerful and can even be resurrected after death, which makes the King and Nobles (Vampires) from top to bottom treat the Player very well, giving them various tasks to kill hostile Vampires.

But Player are curious!

They were relentless, constantly gathering clues about Vampires, whether from enemy Vampires or their Vampires. They didn't want to let any go, even when Nobles (Vampires) tried to divert attention by asking them to keep an eye on Vampires from enemy Player.

As time went on, Player actually found quite a few clues, and a lot of evidence pointed out that the Nobles and Royal Family in their faction were actually Vampires!

But this feeling is like "not being able to see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain yourself." The Player's faction is the Emerald Grand Duchy, and you're telling me that our faction leaders are all Vampires? Who would believe that!

In the early stages of version 3.0, Player believed that these so-called pieces of evidence were definitely just a diversionary tactic used by the enemy Vampires.

After all, how many people would suspect their faction leader of being Vampires?

Even if it exists!

Those are a very small minority, and they are targets of attacks on Forum.

Unfortunately, those are all facts.

Whether it's version 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0, every main storyline is filled with intrigue and darkness, causing Player a great deal of suffering.

As the truth is revealed scene by scene, Player can only stare in disbelief, completely dumbfounded...

But that's what William needs to do now.

They stirred up this mess.

You Vampires, aren't you so great? Aren't you good at pretending to be Nobles and officials?

I don't need evidence.

All I need to do is see you, kill you, and revert you to your Vampires form. Then, all of you who are afraid to reveal your True Body will be left with no choice but to suffer in silence.

After all, even during battle, Vampires will not revert to their original form unless they are killed outright!

In their past lives, how many Player dared to attack their own faction's boss?

Things that Player didn't dare to do or couldn't do back then.

William has both the courage and the ability to do it.

As the six of them passed through several towns, the local Vampires, knowing they were no match for them, gradually led them into the Eastsea City.

Will William be afraid?

Of course he would be afraid, and he would feel fear.

But fear is what makes us human.

He experiences fear, and that's what drives him to keep getting stronger.

Two days later.

He arrived in Eastsea City.

He came to avenge his subordinates and didn't want to cause trouble for Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord, for the time being.

However, Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord, went to obstruct his mission.

He wouldn't mind upgrading the difficulty of an A+ level mission to S-Class!

They are all Neutral Lord.

I have no one to rely on.

Once we've gathered enough players, let's go for it. I have so many Player under my command, how could I possibly lose to you?
