1266 A Special Breed of Dark Apparition
Wang Teng didn’t launch an attack in the end, and only asked his men to wait patiently.
He had a feeling that the lightning would land soon.
He specially asked Round Ball to look up the days when lightning fell in the past. The time difference was no more than five days.
This was in relation to both the before and after timing.
It had been two days so the lightning would either show up that day or the following.
Wang Teng could afford to wait.
It was almost impossible for the lightning not to appear.
That is, unless the local weather had a complete change.
But, weather conditions weren’t formed easily; abrupt changes wouldn’t take place.
How unlucky would they be if this were to happen?
Wang Teng didn’t believe he was an unlucky person.
“You’re really composed.” Round Ball’s voice appeared in Wang Teng’s mind. It clearly understood what was happening outside, and respected Wang Teng’s current calmness for this.
“Being impatient is pointless. I’m in charge of the lives of all these martial warriors. I can’t promise to save all their lives but I can lower the number of casualties,” Wang Teng said indifferently.
“What about the criticism from the main base?” Round Ball asked.
The little fellow knew that Wang Teng really wanted to fight the battle properly. The assessment from the people monitoring from the main base would affect the likelihood of promotions in the future, and whether he would be able to be seen by the real bosses of the military.
It was just a normal battle in the eyes of Red Scorpion and Raging Bear. To Wang Teng, it had a special significance.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t playing along.
Wang Teng was at a disadvantage from the start.
Not taking the victories from those two groups into account, they could take their time and wait two more days as long as they won in the end.
But, having those two victories pressing down on them, the Tiger Strike Force was under more pressure.
Being the commander, Wang Teng received the most pressure.
“To hell with their criticism. I’m not afraid of anyone, even if I don’t have the backing of the military,” said Wang Teng with a snort.
Round Ball was stunned. Then, it laughed.
It felt that Wang Teng was indeed an interesting fellow.
The fifth day passed slowly. No lightning appeared even as dusk arrived.
The entire Tiger Strike Force was on tenterhooks. There was a growing feeling of insecurity.
…
Concurrently—within the 13th frontline, in what was once the commander’s office.
An exceptionally handsome young man was sitting on the chair. His face was white, so much so that capillaries could be seen underneath. His lips were as red as blood, and two fangs were faintly visible on the corners of his lips.
It was a high-ranked vampire dark apparition!
He twirled the transparent wine glass he was holding, which contained an unknown crimson liquid.
The crimson liquid formed a small whirlpool as he moved the glass.
The dashing fellow stared at the liquid in his cup. A faint purple-red glow shimmered in his eyes as he lifted the cup to enjoy the succulent drink.
Knock, knock, knock!
Knocks were heard on the door.
The young man frowned. His interest in the liquid was gone and he said in a cold voice, “Come in!”
A vampire dark apparition walked in.
The latter was also good looking, but he couldn’t be compared to the one in the room.
Especially his aura. The vampire dark apparition in the room had an outstanding and noble momentum; he would stand out even if he was thrown into a bunch of his kin.
The new arrival was frightened. He could hear the unhappiness in the other party’s tone and knew he had disturbed the latter.
“Sir Tourbe, I’m really sorry!” said the vampire dark apparition with care and bowing.
“I will send you to meet our ancestors if you can’t give me a satisfactory reason,” Tourbe replied calmly.
Cold sweat appeared on the vampire’s back. He trembled in fear as he replied, “Sir, the humans have been here for six days. Shall we…”
Splat!
Before he finished speaking—a crimson beam of light shot out from Tourbe’s mouth and landed on the other vampire, who instantly melted into a pile of black blood before he could even scream.
“Idiot!”
The purple-red glow flickered in Tourbe’s eyes as he mumbled to himself, “They’re just humans. What’s there to be afraid of?
“Huntington and Joseph have already left.
“I hope they can hurry up.”
