Chapter 234:
The battle ultimately did not break out.
On one hand, the young lady displayed considerable strength. It was nighttime, which caused her combat power to soar. Combined with the unique abilities of the life seed within her body manifesting at the Silver rank, she represented a certain unique extension of the power of the Nature God on earth, perfectly counteracting the bonuses the Seicob Winged Cavalry gained in the forest.
On the other hand, the Blood Vulture vampires arrived quickly.
For these beings capable of supersonic flight at night, most terrain obstacles were meaningless.
The rescued Thorn Clan also arrived soon after, though a few unfortunate souls under Count Andrei were injured. The loyal servant Vesta was left behind to care for the wounded.
By the time the Count of White Mountain arrived, sword in hand, both sides had already transitioned from a tense standoff to a not-so-peaceful conversation.
A line of Blood Vulture members hovered in the air, sealing off the surroundings, while the Winged Cavalry spread out through the forest on alert, leaving the conversation space to the leaders of both sides.
The Count of White Mountain was very proper and knew when to advance or retreat. He did not demand to listen in or approach, but simply found a good spot to sit down and rest under Adele’s vigilant gaze, taking out his poetry collection to read.
In the center of this encounter in the forest, in a mountain valley at dawn, the young lady leaned on her Night Howl Staff, staring at the Winged Cavalry leader who had just jumped down from his tall horse before her.
