The First Vampire

Chapter 428: 426 Chaos (Part 2)_1
Boom!

Count Evan in the study was startled by an explosion that shook the entire building.

It took him a full three seconds to rush to the window in a panic.

Then, he saw a sight he would never forget.

A heavy battleship docked in the harbor was already majorly engulfed in a gruesome green fire.

The large amount of river water pouring in caused the unsteady bow to tilt up high, everything on the deck uncontrollably slid towards the stern. Even from a thousand meters away, Count Evan could hear the screams of navy soldiers being devoured by green flames in mid-air.

Finally, under Count Evan’s stunned gaze, the bow of the battleship was almost vertical to the river surface, before slowly sinking into the cold river, leaving huge whirlpools on the water surface.

This whirlpool also led to adjacent warships being drawn closer. The commanders on board yelled out commands to raise the anchor and try to sail away, but it was impossible to accomplish this in such a short time. In the end, they could only collide with the nearby warships.

The massive impact caused severe damage to the side hulls, and perhaps due to the collision, one of the warships even exploded again.

The surging green fire was like an evil dragon awakened from deep sleep, angrily ripping open the weak body of the warship, venting its rage on the world.

Boom!

In an instant, the burst of green light lit up the night sky of half of Alfalfa City.

Everyone was frightened at the sight of this heavenly spectacle, not knowing what to do.

Count Evan was the first to react, yelling in a hoarse voice: “Adam! Adam!”

“Lord Count, Sir Adam went to the Alfalfa Brotherhood and hasn’t returned yet.” A middle-aged knight entered pushing the door, explaining.

Count Evan looked at his personal guards’ captain, and his heart felt somewhat calmer. He hurriedly said, “Fletcher, send someone to the harbor immediately to see what is going on!”

“Yes!”

Knight Fletcher responded right away, but before he could turn to arrange it, he saw Count Evan himself rushing towards the doorway in hurry, muttering, “Forget it, I’ll go there myself!”

“Lord Count! The harbor is probably not very safe right now, let me send someone.”

However, Count Evan seemed to not have heard Knight Fletcher’s advice at all and rushed out without looking back.

Knight Fletcher had no choice but to follow quickly.

Bang!

A navy officer brutally kicked open the closed door, without caring about the scantily dressed woman inside, yelled at his subordinate:

“Hans! Your leave is over, return to the battleship immediately!”

The soldier named Hans scrambled up from the bed, his face full of horror, clearly taken aback by the huge noise outside.

Just as he was about to ask his superior what had happened, he turned his head and found that the officer was gone.

Hans put on his clothes as fast as he could and was about to leave when he was pulled back by the woman on the bed.

He certainly didn’t think that the woman has developed feelings for him and was reluctant to see him go. He quickly realized he hadn’t paid her yet.

He casually threw a few copper coins, only then did the woman let go happily.

Hans rushed out, finding the streets in a state of chaos, filled with startled crowds.

Hans looked around and still didn’t see his superior officer, but he did see a man wearing the same Pegasus Navy uniform. He didn’t think much and immediately walked over.

“Brother! What on earth happened?”

“Don’t know.” The man glanced back at Hans but didn’t stop, “Let’s return to the battleship first!”

Hans quickened his pace to follow, continuing to ask, “Did the Northerners kill their way over here?”

The man scoffed, “How would the Northerners make their way here? Do they have ships?”

Hans scratched his head, finding the logic sound, and was about to ask another question, when he saw a disheveled woman rushing towards him.

“Help! Help!”

Hans saw two burly men relentlessly chasing after the woman, and thinking he understood the situation, was about to reprimand them, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.

He looked down and saw the “helpless woman” with a feral expression, driving a dagger into his waist.

Hans let out an angry roar, kicked the woman away, but was overcome with pain and could not help stepping back, falling to the ground.

Before he could warn his companions, a few more people emerged from the shadows of the alley, surrounding his companions.

And the two “chasing” after the woman, hurried to Hans, and began rummaging through his possessions.

Witnessing them steal his money bag, military uniform, and even the treasured silver medal, Hans could no longer resist growling:

“Are you begging for death? Daring to rob the Pegasus Navy!”

The burly man grinned, disdainful, “You Pegasus Navy guys are already in danger, and you really think you’re the masters of Alfalfa City?”

The woman also managed to get up from the ground, took turns viciously kicking Hans as retribution, then arrogantly declared:

“Let me tell you, kid, this is the real Alfalfa City! A place filled with crooks and scum, and you nobles’ lapdogs won’t take over here!”

Withstanding the intense pain in his body and the humiliation, an absurd thought crossed Hans’ mind–

Could this be a conspiracy by the Alfalfa Brotherhood?

Were those scums really capable of reducing the Pegasus Navy to such a mess?

——————————

“Of course, it’s not the Alfalfa Brotherhood!” Count Evan, while rushing towards the harbor, replied to the report of his attendant, “Brotherhood? They do not have such capabilities.”

“But, My Lord Count, Orlando did kill Mr. Adam publicly, saying that our Pegasus Navy would face disaster!”

This time, Count Evan didn’t even bother to pay attention to his attendant, he just kept trudging forward.

In his view, the Alfalfa Brotherhood was nothing more than a group of good-for-nothings, capable of taking advantage during chaos and looting, but to actually orchestrate this kind of attack against the Pegasus Navy, was way beyond their abilities.

The key issue now was the port, as long as the explosions stopped and the navy warriors kept calm, the looting Alfalfa Brotherhood would immediately shrink back into the shadows, trembling with fear.

So, what on earth happened at the harbor?

Others might not know what the explosion and green flames meant, but Count Evan did.

At this moment, he could only hope that this was an accident, not…

Soon, the group arrived at the harbor.

Count Evan immediately grabbed a panicked military officer, demanding, “Where is Count Howell? Tell him to see me immediately…”

Boom!

Suddenly, a giant fireball exploded right in front of Count Evan.

The huge shock wave knocked everyone off their feet, only Knight Fletcher with his strong physique managed to remain standing, but Count Evan, unprepared, fell flat on his face.

With the guard’s assistance, Count Evan slowly got up, and numbly looked at the harbor that had turned into a sea of fire, his heart sank.

This could not possibly be an accident!
