51: Demon Gatling vs. Vampire 4

"What's the panic!"

The "Queen of the Dark Night," seated at the head of the table, spoke coldly.

She was the only female among the ten SSS-class vampires, and her strength was second only to Count Blood Orchid.

"We still have a hundred thousand elite vampire soldiers and eight SSS-class vampires."

"As long as we join forces, we might not be unable to stop those humans!"

"Stop them?"

Another vampire sneered. He was Marquis Bone Erosion, the younger brother of Marquis Soul Devourer, and his eyes were filled with hatred at this moment.

"My brother led ten thousand elites, and before they even clearly saw the Resistance Forces, they were turned to ash!"

"That kind of weapon can instantly pierce through our blood energy shields. Our defensive power is a joke before it!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

The Queen of the Dark Night's tone was somewhat impatient.

"Are you saying we should surrender to the humans?"

"Surrender isn't out of the question..."

A vampire wearing glasses spoke softly. He was Count Brain-Intellect, responsible for the vampires' intelligence and strategy.

"The leader of the Resistance Forces is named Qin Jiuge. It's said he's the one who brought that weapon."

"As long as we are willing to cede half our territory and compensate them with enough blood, perhaps he will agree to peace talks..."

"Bullshit!"

Duke Giant Rock suddenly stood up, pointing at Count Brain-Intellect's nose and cursing.

"We vampires have ruled Eternal Night for three hundred years. When have we ever bowed our heads to humans?!"

"If you want to surrender, then go ahead! Even if I die, I'll take those humans down with me!"

Just then, the doors to the council hall were suddenly kicked open, and a vampire messenger stumbled in, his face as pale as paper.

"It's bad! The Resistance Forces... the Resistance Forces have attacked! They're already at the gates of the Blood Castle!"

"What?!"

Everyone stood up abruptly, their faces full of disbelief.

The Blood Castle was located at the center of the Eternal Night world, surrounded by three layers of blood energy barriers.

With a hundred thousand elite vampire soldiers stationed there, how could the Resistance Forces have attacked so quickly?

They rushed to the castle walls and looked into the distance.

Under the moonlight, a dense crowd of humans carrying demon god gatling guns was charging toward the Blood Castle, numbering at least ten thousand.

The man at the head, carrying a massive gatling gun, was none other than Qin Jiuge!

And behind him, dragged by chains, were Count Blood Orchid and Memlisse!

"Blood Orchid!"

The Queen of the Dark Night's face changed drastically upon seeing Count Blood Orchid.

"How could you be captured by them?!"

Count Blood Orchid no longer had his former prestige; he was covered in wounds, and his face was filled with despair.

He looked at the eight SSS-class vampires on the wall, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He didn't even have the strength to resist now, only able to let Qin Jiuge drag him along like a trophy.

Memlisse was trembling even more with fear, not daring to look up at the vampires on the wall, only crying incessantly.

"Save me... save me..."

Qin Jiuge stopped his pace, shouldered his gatling gun, and shouted to the eight SSS-class vampires on the wall.

"Listen up, you scum up there! I give you three minutes to open the gates and surrender!"

"Otherwise, I'll use my gatling gun to level your Blood Castle!"

"Human! Don't be too arrogant!"

Duke Giant Rock roared, his hands condensing thick rock armor.

"If you have the guts, then try it! I want to see if your weapon can pierce my defense!"

Qin Jiuge sneered, not bothering to waste words, and directly pulled the gatling gun's trigger.

*Da da da da!*

Blue fire erupted, and bullets shot toward Duke Giant Rock like a rainstorm.

Duke Giant Rock snorted coldly and raised his arms to block; his rock armor was enough to withstand a full-strength strike from an SSS-class vampire.

But the moment the bullets hit the rock armor, it was instantly shattered into pieces. Carrying divine flames, the bullets struck his arms.

"Ah!"

Duke Giant Rock let out a shrill scream as his arms were instantly riddled with holes. His skin began to burn, emitting billows of thick smoke.

He hastily retreated, wanting to use blood energy to heal the wounds, but the divine flames were constantly eroding his body, making it impossible to recover.

"How is this possible..."

Duke Giant Rock looked at his burning arms, his eyes full of terror.

"My rock armor... actually couldn't block it..."

The other vampires on the wall also turned pale with fright. They knew Duke Giant Rock's defensive power.

Even Count Blood Orchid might not have been able to easily pierce his rock armor.

Yet before Qin Jiuge's gatling gun, it was so pathetic!

"Three minutes are up."

Qin Jiuge released the trigger, the muzzle still emitting faint smoke.

"Since you won't surrender, then go die!"

He waved his hand, and ten thousand gatling guns fired simultaneously.

The blue fire wove into a sea of blue flames, and bullets shot toward the Blood Castle like a tide.

The first layer of the blood energy barrier was instantly pierced.

The second and third layers also vanished into nothingness within a few short seconds.

The vampire soldiers on the wall fell like wheat being harvested, their corpses rolling down the walls and turning into burning ash upon hitting the ground.

"Kill our way in!"

At Qin Jiuge's command, the Hunting Group surged into the Blood Castle in a grand manner.

A Che shouldered his gatling gun and strafed wildly toward the council hall.

"Let's see how arrogant you can be now! Today, we'll kill every single one of you scum!"

Bullets penetrated the walls of the council hall, and shrill screams of vampires echoed from within.

The Queen of the Dark Night tried to condense blood energy to counterattack, but she was hit in the chest by a bullet. Her body was instantly riddled with holes, and she fell to the ground, bursting into flames.

Marquis Bone Erosion tried to flee, but Xiao Man blocked him, her gatling gun aimed at his back.

The sound of gunfire erupted, and his body was instantly turned to ash.

Count Brain-Intellect was so scared he hid under a table, clutching his head and trembling.

"Don't kill me... I surrender... I'm willing to serve you..."

Qin Jiuge walked over, kicked the table over, and pressed the gatling gun's muzzle against his forehead.

"Surrender? Too late."

"Three hundred years ago, to curry favor with Count Blood Orchid, you personally designed the 'Crimson Purge,' killing a million humans."

"Today, it's time to pay your debt."

*Da da!*

Two bullets pierced Count Brain-Intellect's head. He fell to the ground, eyes wide open, dying with grievances.

The battle in the Blood Castle ended quickly. Among the hundred thousand elite vampire soldiers, not one was left alive.

All eight SSS-class vampires perished under the blue fire.

Qin Jiuge stood at the highest point of the Blood Castle, the gatling gun in his hand still smoking.

His divine sense swept out, and he found only one last group of vampires left in the entire Eternal Night world.

Several thousand vampire nobles hiding in Count Blood Orchid's private estate, the "Blood Orchid Ancient Castle."

"Let's go! To Blood Orchid Ancient Castle!"

Qin Jiuge shouted to the Hunting Group.

"Kill the last of this scum!"

The Hunting Group marched toward Blood Orchid Ancient Castle in a grand procession. Count Blood Orchid and Memlisse were dragged along the ground.

Seeing the burning vampire corpses along the way and hearing the constant gunfire, the mental state of both had completely collapsed.

"No... don't go to Blood Orchid Ancient Castle..."

Count Blood Orchid shook his head while crying.

"That is my home... I beg you... spare them..."

Qin Jiuge ignored him completely, only quickening his pace.

They soon reached Blood Orchid Ancient Castle. The manor gates were tightly shut, and the vampire nobles inside were trembling with fear, lacking even the courage to resist.

"Open the gates!"

Qin Jiuge shouted toward the manor.

"Otherwise, I'll level this place!"

The manor gates were soon opened, and several thousand vampire nobles walked out with their hands raised, faces full of terror.

Qin Jiuge looked at them, a cruel smile curling on his lips.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!"

Ten thousand gatling guns fired at once, blue fire lighting up the night sky again.

The vampire nobles fell like ants, their corpses piling up like mountains, and the burning ash floated in the air like black snowflakes.

Count Blood Orchid watched his clansmen being slaughtered, his eyes wide. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Memlisse was so scared she lost control of her bowels and collapsed on the ground, no longer having the strength even to cry.

In less than ten minutes, the last group of vampires was also completely killed.

Qin Jiuge stood at the highest point of Blood Orchid Ancient Castle, the gatling gun in his hand finally ceasing its fire.

He looked over the entire Eternal Night world, sensing no trace of vampire presence left, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

After three hundred years, humans had finally escaped their fate of being livestock; after three hundred years, the Eternal Night was finally broken.

"System, scan the entire world and confirm if there are any surviving vampires."

[Ding! Scan complete! There are no surviving vampires in the entire Eternal Night world!]

[Host has completed the 'Exterminate the Vampire Race' achievement. Reward: demon god gatling gun upgrade permissions!]

Qin Jiuge nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk down from the manor.

Count Blood Orchid had woken up, staring blankly at the sky.

Memlisse lay paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Drag these two pieces of scum up."

Qin Jiuge said to the soldiers.

"I'm taking them to a good place."

...In this world, Qin Jiuge also had a Goblin outpost, located in the deepest part of the Eternal Night world.

Tens of thousands of Goblins lived here. They fed on carrion, were naturally brutal, and loved nothing more than torturing living beings.

The vampires often used this place to exile human criminals. Anyone thrown into the lair would eventually be tortured to death by the Goblins, dying a miserable death.

Qin Jiuge, accompanied by two soldiers, dragged Count Blood Orchid and Memlisse into the Goblin Lair.

The cave was filled with a thick stench of rot, the ground was covered in bones, and dried corpses hung from the walls.

Countless green Goblins poked their heads out from the darkness, their eyes gleaming with greed, making "creak creak" sounds.

"Qin Jiuge! What are you going to do?!"

Count Blood Orchid finally reacted, struggling to resist, but he was firmly bound by chains and couldn't move at all.

"Just kill me! Even if I die, I won't let those disgusting Goblins touch me!"

Memlisse was even more terrified, her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering as she watched those clawing Goblins, tears and snot flowing together.

"I beg you... let me go... I was wrong... I won't do it again..."

"Let you go?"

Qin Jiuge sneered.

"Three hundred years ago, when you threw humans in here, why didn't you think about letting them go?"

"Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be tortured by Goblins!"

He waved his hand, and the two soldiers unlocked the chains on Count Blood Orchid and Memlisse.

Though freed from the chains, Count Blood Orchid and Memlisse didn't dare to run.

The cave was filled with Goblins; even if they tried to flee, they couldn't escape this lair.

"Squeak squeak!"

A massive Goblin chieftain charged at them, holding a rusty greataxe.

Count Blood Orchid hastily tried to condense blood energy to fight back, only to find his blood energy had been suppressed by the divine metal chains for too long and couldn't be gathered at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the Goblin chieftain's greataxe swung toward him.

"Ah!"

Count Blood Orchid let out a shrill scream as one of his arms was severed by the axe, blood spraying out.

The Goblin chieftain shrieked excitedly, picked up the arm from the ground, and began gnawing on it, blood dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Memlisse was so scared she collapsed, lacking even the strength to stand.

Several Goblins surrounded her, stretching out their filthy claws and tearing at her clothes.

She let out a scream of despair but could only let the Goblins torture her.

Qin Jiuge stood aside, watching all this coldly.

He didn't have the slightest sympathy; this was the fate they deserved.

Three hundred years of sin couldn't be erased by a single "I was wrong."

Count Blood Orchid was soon eaten alive by the Goblins, leaving only a pile of white bones.

Memlisse was dragged into the depths of the cave by the Goblins, her screams growing more distant until they completely vanished in the darkness.

Qin Jiuge turned and walked out of the Goblin Lair, the cheers and chewing sounds of the Goblins still echoing inside.

He looked up at the sky; the Crimson Moon had disappeared at some point, replaced by a clear, bright moon.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, spilling over the land of the Eternal Night world, warm and bright.

The members of the Hunting Group saw the sunlight and one after another put down their gatling guns, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their faces.

After three hundred years, they finally saw the sunlight again; after three hundred years, humans were once again the masters of the world.

"Lord Qin Jiuge!"

A Che walked up to Qin Jiuge and knelt on one knee.

"Thank you! You saved us all!"

"Lord Qin Jiuge!"

Other members of the Hunting Group also knelt on one knee, their voices full of awe and gratitude.

"Please be our King! Lead us to rebuild our home!"

Qin Jiuge looked at the crowd before him, then at the sun-drenched land, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I am not a King. From today on, there will be no Kings, and no slaves."

"We are all humans. We will rebuild our home together and turn the Eternal Night world into a paradise for humanity."

"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison, their voices full of excitement and hope.

In the following days, Qin Jiuge led the human survivors to begin rebuilding their home.

They cleared the vampire corpses, repaired the destroyed cities, reclaimed wasteland, and planted crops.

A few months later, the Eternal Night world had completely changed its appearance.

The cities regained their former prosperity, pedestrians came and went on the streets, and children ran and played in the sunshine.

The former blood-feeding zones had become vast farmlands, with golden wheat swaying in the wind.

Qin Jiuge stood at the highest point of a newly built city, looking at the prosperous scene below, a satisfied smile on his lips.

From then on, there were no more vampires in the Eternal Night world, only peace and prosperity.

Humanity would always remember that three hundred years ago, a man named Qin Jiuge brought the demon god gatling gun, broke the Eternal Night, and brought the light.

And that "da da da da" sound of blue fire became the vampires' eternal nightmare and humanity's eternal anthem.

In the Goblin Lair, Memlisse's bones had long since been gnawed clean by the Goblins.

No one remembered the former "Human Saintess" and "Count Blood Orchid" anymore.

Their names, like the vampires, had vanished forever into the long river of Eternal Night's history, leaving only endless infamy.

Sunlight filled the land, and the Eternal Night had completely broken into dawn. Humanity's future was bright.
