The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Leon paced back and forth in front of the iron railing, his heart heavy.

He knew very well that tonight was an elimination round, and only a handful of people would be able to reach the sealed site amidst the chaos and escape.

Most people are cannon fodder.

The crows probably knew this in their hearts, but they wouldn't mind stepping over other people's corpses to escape.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Chaos

For the vampires in the castle, the dungeon was essentially a granary for storing food; humans were their food, and their lives could not be separated from the blood of spiritual beings.

For vampires, human blood is like rice in a country of great food lovers—the healthiest and most essential commodity.

However, because vampires have long lifespans, they are not keen on procreation, so their numbers are not very large. There are at most a few dozen vampires living in this castle.

If you include the vampire warriors guarding them, the number would probably be over a hundred.

Vampires don't need to ingest all the blood from an adult in a day, so they lock up any extra humans they capture and raise them like livestock, randomly grabbing one to slaughter and eat each day when it's time to eat.

The vampires don't think these humans would dare to rebel, just like you would never imagine that your livestock would escape from the pen.

Therefore, the guards inside the dungeon were not very strong.

This can be seen from the fact that Raven and Hammer secretly lifted the restriction, but the vampires were completely unaware of it.

Therefore, Leon and his riots were not hindered and they quickly succeeded.

After the last light in the corridor went out, it wasn't long before the main force rushed up. Among them were several extraordinary individuals whose skills seemed to be related to lock picking, and they opened the cell locks very easily.

Subsequently, dozens of vampire warriors from the dungeon rushed over upon hearing the commotion, only to be brutally beaten by the crazed human thugs who had been guarding them.

There were no demigod vampires among these vampires, so they were also mortals. Although they possessed extraordinary skills, because vampires were mostly guided by the moonlight, their fighting style was too simplistic, and they were quickly eliminated.

"Mr. Daniel, please lead the way."

Crow, Hammer, Steel Bar, and the others, standing on the corpses of the vampire warriors and holding weapons they had taken from them, surrounded Leon.

Leon knew exactly what these guys were up to from the start.

It would benefit Leon himself to lead the way, as it would allow him to use their strength to break into the sealed artifact zone and escape.

Goodbye, Thorn Forest!

Leon glanced at the oil lamp that had been knocked to the ground during the melee and chuckled slightly.

The oil from the lamp spilled onto the ground, bursting into a huge flame. The flame quickly ignited the surrounding flammable materials, growing larger and larger, illuminating the long, dark passageway of the dungeon.

"follow me."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Leon nodded slightly, then quickly rushed out of the narrow passage.

"Guys, many people will die soon, but the chance for freedom is right in front of us. Instead of waiting to die, let's fight! Let's follow Mr. Daniel and charge bravely and fearlessly to see the light of day again!"

Iron Hammer raised the long blade in his hand, turned around to look at the crowd behind him, and roared with all his might.

As he delivered his infectious speech, the madness in the crowd's eyes grew even more rampant, like a lion chained in a circus and forced to play the role of a clown, finally seizing the opportunity to break free of its chains.

"Praise freedom! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Shouting, the crowd surged forward like a tidal wave towards the exit...

While leisurely sipping sweet wine and soaking in a herbal bath in her private tub, Sharon suddenly felt a restlessness on the ground, as if many horses were running on the ground floor of the castle.

What's going on at this time of day?

Charlene ended her comfortable bath somewhat unhappily, quickly changed into a nightgown, and then put on a coat to cover up the large amount of exposed fair skin on her shoulders and back. She walked out of the bathroom in her slippers and onto the corridor outside.

At that moment, Dieter was on his way here.

"Lady Charlene!"

Dieter's usually calm face showed a rare hint of difficulty, which made Sharon feel that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

"Shalin asked quickly."

"The humans imprisoned in the dungeon have rebelled!"

Dieter replied.

"rebel?!"

Those guys?

How dare they!

Charlene was clearly incredulous.

"Yes, it's true. The vampire warriors on duty are probably dead. They've already rushed out of the dungeon and are running like madmen in one direction."

Dieter replied.

"One direction? Which direction!"

Charlene's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

"It is the underground palace where the ancient castle stores the sealed artifacts."

Dieter answered.

"An underground palace? How would these guys know where the underground palace is!"

Sharon was puzzled.

"I don't know. I just ran from the chaotic dungeon exit and I saw Mr. Daniel among the humans leading the charge."

Dieter said with a solemn expression.

"Daniel?"

A look of shock crossed Sharon's face.

"No way, we just put him in the dungeon today, and less than one night has passed, and he's already led all the humans in the dungeon in a rebellion!"

Charlene found it utterly unbelievable.

It's important to understand that turning a group of people against their will is no easy task.

This only proves that the humans inside the dungeon had long harbored rebellious intentions.

Or perhaps it's just that young Daniel is a truly exceptional talent.

However, Sharon was more inclined to believe the former.

"These humans in the dungeon must have been preparing to rebel for a long time, but they just didn't know how to do it. Daniel has probably shown them a good way out."

After a moment's thought, Dieter replied that his thoughts were the same as Sharon's; the humans in the dungeon had long since developed rebellious tendencies.

As for why they would rush to the place where the sealed artifacts are stored, it's probably because they wanted to rely on the power of the powerful sealed artifacts to escape.

After all, many powerful sealed artifacts possess the ability to teleport.

"Heh, you've really got a good plan. I really underestimated you, Daniel."

Charlene had lived for over a hundred years; even if she wasn't smart, she wouldn't be stupid. Naturally, she immediately understood what Leon wanted to do.

"Dieter, have you told Daniel why he was sent to the dungeon?"

"Shalin asked."

"I didn't say it."

Dieter answered.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Charlene questioned her.

"Didn't you tell me, Lady Shalin, that it would be best not to tell him? You said you wanted to see his bewildered and embarrassed expression."

Dieter answered honestly.

"I only said it's best not to feel his presence, I didn't say you can't tell him!"

"Shalin said angrily."

Uh, this...

Tsk, women.

"Yes, Lady Sharon, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Faced with Charlene's unreasonable behavior, Dieter had no choice but to apologize.

"Immediately send the nearest elite warriors patrolling the territory back at top speed. Also, have Riaudid get back here as fast as he can, drive these humans back to the dungeon, and bring Daniel to me."

She gave the order, not taking the resistance of these weak humans seriously.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Entering the Underground Palace

The rioting force initially came in a large and imposing manner, seemingly unstoppable.

However, as more and more vampire warriors gathered in this direction, the team began to rapidly decline, with more and more casualties.

With Raven and his group of extraordinary beings protecting him, Leon was naturally the fastest and safest to run.

Following his memory of walking behind Philippa last time, Leon ran wildly.

Soon, they arrived at the dark staircase.

Of the nearly one thousand people, half had already been killed or wounded by the vampire warriors' attack. Of the remaining half, more than four-fifths were either blocked on the road or lost their way due to not keeping up with the main force.

Finally, following Leon to the last level of the stairs, which is the bottom of the underground palace, there were only about seventy or eighty people. Most of these people were skilled or extraordinary, and each of them had some tricks up their sleeve.

The crowd remained silent, simply protecting Leon as they moved forward quickly.

The passage wasn't far from the small room; it only took Leon and Philippa about five minutes to walk there last time, and there were no defenders along the way.

Leon and his group ran this time, so they reached the house in about a minute.

"The finish line is just behind this door."

As they reached the door, Leon glanced back at the crows, Ironbeak, and Steel Bar behind him and said softly, "We must leave the guards inside alive, because it will be much easier to enter the sealed artifact area with them opening the door."

After exchanging glances, Iron Hammer kicked open the door, and then Crow Iron Hammer and other high-level fighters, along with the others, rushed in, while Leon was pushed against the wall.

The vampire guardians at the door must have heard the commotion long ago, as they were already standing fully armed and facing the door.

There were two vampires in total. Leon had seen the two brothers before; they were the ones he played cards with Reinus when he and Philippa came in last time.

Renas suddenly committed suicide, and the shift hadn't been rescheduled yet, so the two of them continued to work. However, without the high-combat-power Renas, they probably wouldn't be able to stop Leon's nearly one hundred men.

"Humans, stop here. Even if you kill us, you won't be able to enter the underground palace because you can't open the door."

One of the vampires shouted, speaking in Night Whisper.

"Damn it, what is this little Japanese devil saying?"

Iron Hammer was an impatient man, and he looked at Ah Wei to the side.

"do not know."

Ah Wei shook his head and looked at the steel bars beside him.

"I can't understand their language either."

Steel Bar was a stubborn fool; he didn't care about anything else. He looked at the vampire, drew his sword, and roared, "Who cares about all that? Since he's a Japanese devil, just kill him!"

"Wait a minute, didn't Daniel just say that he needs these two Japanese soldiers to open the door? And look at this room, it seems there really is no other way to go."

Crows blocked the way.

At this moment, the two vampires also held blades in both hands, staring intently at the crows and their companions.

Just as the crows couldn't understand Night Talk, the two of them couldn't understand Fitcher language either, and had no idea what the crows were whispering and underestimating.

When encountering this situation,

This highlights the importance of cultural level.
