857.When duty calls again (page 2/2)
We can be sure that Archduke Charlemagne made some progress in his research in that laboratory. Two hundred years ago, he took the risk and tried to open it in order to retrieve the knowledge he left there to fight against the increasingly powerful old religion at that time..
But something went wrong.
The power of subspace poured out as he opened the door, directly destroying a third of the ice bay. It was a despicable trap. We also saw that Archduke Charlemagne told this ancient secret to him before he was executed by the Lord himself. brother, but the Lord believed that it was the warp spreading forbidden knowledge through his mouth..
We gotta find it, Murphy.！
There is valuable knowledge there to fight against the Warp..”
“There are also dangers there. I don’t want to cause another ‘blood vulture apocalypse’ at this time. If you want to explore there, you must be prepared in advance, but we can talk about this later..”
Murphy shook his head, looked into Pablo's eyes and said：
“What now? After witnessing the ancient past with your own eyes and facing the previous invitation, your answer was？”
“I”
Pablo hesitated a little. He held Claire's hand tightly and said after a few seconds.：
“I must go back to the former territory of the Blood Terror clan. Archduke Charlemagne left something there for his true successors, namely Claire and I, who have just obtained the status of civilized candidates..
He used some secret methods to hide this matter from Lord Paying and the other two Grand Dukes. Claire and I must find those things to officially become the leaders of the Blood Terror clan..
That is the core strength and inheritance of the Blood Terror clan, and it is the source of power of the Scarlet Reaver. With it, Claire can become a true 'power thief', and I can also find a way to truly tame the good luck of the dark night..
I'll give you an answer when I get back, Murphy.
But please don't worry！
Even though I am an untrustworthy pirate, I have fully understood the grudges between the subspace and the Blood Terror clan, and I have realized how stupid it was to escape when facing the World-Burning Demonic Soldiers..
There is no compromise at all in the face of such an enemy.！
We must participate in this war and find a path to redemption for the original sin that all vampires bear. Otherwise, the Midnight Family will not be a future, not even a tomorrow. This also includes the fate of Claire and me..
This is an unbreakable connection between individuals and groups. If no changes are made, all vampires will be involved in the tragedy related to the Midnight Mother in the near future..
So in the face of a common enemy, you can fully trust us.”
“Okay, your words are enough.”
Murphy returned the Greed Piece to the pirate captain and asked：
“How long will it take for you to go to the territory of the Blood Terror clan?？”
“No more than half a month！”
Claire said with certainty：
“Let's go and come back quickly. We won't alert anyone if we just grab our things and leave..”
“But have you ever thought about it, this actually also contains dangers?？”
Andre next to him suddenly said：
“If Dusk is a servant of subspace, then they must also know the truth two hundred years ago. If you are looking for the legendary observation laboratory, then maybe Dusk is also chasing the same thing.
Why are you looking at me like that?？
You don’t really think that onomatopoeia can perfectly conceal your conversation in front of the Thorn Clan, do you?？
This thing isn't really a secret. I heard everything you just talked about. Don't worry, I won't write this secret into my notebook..
This secret is too hot to touch.
But I still say the same thing, you’d better not go alone on this trip back to your hometown, bring more people with you..”
“Your former territory was among the snowy mountains of Ice Bay.”
Murphy stood up and said：
“It just so happens that our relationship with the Temple of Vamu has been pretty good recently. Please ask the servants of the Berserker. If the Blood Terror clan plans to return to Ice Bay, it will definitely not be possible without their permission..
By the way, I'm sending a letter to the Vam Temple for Lord Paying. If we don't call the Vam servants for such an exciting thing as killing the evil god, those violent warriors will definitely bear a grudge against us..
Go and come back quickly, you two.
I have a feeling that Transia won't be quiet for long..”

“Bang”
The pen he was writing suddenly vibrated, causing the sharp pen tip to pierce the letter paper, and also caused the ink to escape on the paper and quickly formed an ink dot..
A good piece of letter paper was ruined just like that..
General Baldwin frowned at the mistake in front of him, then grabbed the piece of paper and crumpled it into a ball with an irritated gesture, and threw it into the trash can next to him. Then he took out a new piece of paper and wrote on it again..
He wanted to write a private letter to Colonel Duke's family, telling them that Colonel Duke had died heroically on the battlefield..
This is not a simple matter.
As a general, he was saddened by the death of his adjutant. As a friend, he could not sleep at night because of the death of his good brother who had followed him loyally for more than ten years..
The battle report of Baphomet Canyon had been sent to him a long time ago. He knew the whole process and also knew that Colonel Duke's sacrifice was a more heroic sacrifice in that case..
He can escape.
But he did not do that. The determined soldier fulfilled the promise he made to General Baldwin when he left the Crimean Fortress. He coexisted with his position until the last moment..
This made General Winter Wolf both moved and uncomfortable.
The worst thing was not only that Colonel Duke died for his country, but the vanguard in Shadow Valley was almost wiped out, and it was a heavy blow to Baldwin's heart..
It has been many years since the Winter Wolves suffered such a terrible loss.？
The unexpected outbreak of wolf plague before that, and the silence of the God of the North Wind in response to the call of believers, all seemed to outline a picture that frightened all Nords..
If before, those crazy words that preached that an era of chaos was coming were just unfounded worries that did not need to be ignored, then now, at least for General Baldwin, he seems to have seen it..
No！
He has already stepped into that chaotic future with one foot.
This black disaster is just the end of one era and the beginning of another..
Even if the Jackals are defeated in front of the Maginot Line, they will never be able to bring the familiar peaceful era back to them. That is the most feared prophecy for those who fear change, and this prophecy is becoming a reality bit by bit..
As for him, the powerful General Winter Wolf, the border commander of Nordtov, is already a powerful official in the mortal world. Where will his fate be in the storm of this era?？
General Baldwin didn't really want to think about it..
But some things cannot be solved by running away, so after writing Colonel Duke's obituary with a heavy heart, the general took out a new piece of letter paper in front of him.
He was going to write a suicide note to his three daughters.
Although I will work hard to survive in all wars and return to my family, being prepared can always give people a little more courage when unexpected disasters strike..
But before he started writing, there was a knock on the door of the office, and then his adjutant walked in and said to the general：
“The vanguard of the Great Wilderness Legion has arrived. General, the Iron Foot Army of the Frost Dwarves has also arrived near the city of Bonne. In addition, the Transians have warned us that starting tonight, no non-military personnel will be allowed in the Filthy Swamp. travel through.”
“Um？”
Baldwin looked up and said：
“what does this mean？”
“It's hard for me to explain to you, General.”
The adjutant said with some embarrassment：
“But those crazy Transians say the Filthy Swamp is alive and if we don't want to die we shouldn't provoke it.
“？”
