Such a hero was born in Romanian history.

He insisted on Wallachia's independence and was even a noble warrior known as the "Shield of the World" of Christianity.

Whenever historians mention his existence, they will mostly call it "Punctured Man".

As early as the fifteenth century, in order to defend Wallachia from the Turkish army and to clean up the nobles who had left their land deserted, 20,000 Turkish soldiers were sentenced to puncture, but because of the implementation of severe punishment, they were betrayed by the nobles.

In the end, he was assassinated and died by the Wallachian nobles who were subordinates at the age of forty-six.

His name is Vlad III. Tepes.

‘Dracula’ was originally just the common name that Vlad III, the Grand Duke of Wallachia, was the favorite to use. Strictly speaking, it was wladislausdra pants Lya. Since it was appointed by Eastern Rome in its position, it was signed in Roman style.

His father Vlad II was the dragon knights founded by the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund, with members of 24 people. This is why his father claimed to be dracul (the great duke of the dragon). In other words, because he was the son of a dragon, he added the pronunciation of a meaning that means "child" at the end.

Therefore, according to different etymology, Dracula also means "Son of the Dragon".

By the way, the goal of the Dragon Knights is to defend the Christian world from the hands of Islamic forces. Vlad III, in the name of Dracula, may also mean that he wants to inherit his father's will and protect the Christian world.

In today's world, Dracula has become one of the most famous monsters. It can be said that it is the most influential sample example of "creation distorting reality". However, in fact, it cannot be asserted that it is all the arrogance of the creator. Because Vlad III used any means to protect Wallachia's independence, he was disgusted by Türkiye as a demon.

1462.

As his biggest puncture, he was famous for his defensive war against Turkish invasion.

In order to use a 10,000 army to fight the 150,000 Turkish army, he ordered scorched earth combat and guerrilla warfare. The people fled to the Carpathian Mountains and faced the Turkish army with the empty capital. At that time, there were around the capital Budapest, which had a total of more than 20,000 Turkish soldiers who were pierced.

Standing around the castle in Budapest, countless groups of piercing corpses. Their strangeness and stench completely frustrated the morale of the brave Turkish soldiers. Even the hero Mohammed II, known as the "Conqueror", left a sentence - "I am not afraid of anyone, but the demon is another matter." Then he withdrew his army.

The piercing field at that time was three kilometers long and one kilometer wide. After the Ottomans of the Turkish Empire occupied the late Wallachia, they also found it difficult to control this land full of blood from the people because of this psychological trauma.

Brutal and reasonable. A warrior with a broad vision above humanity. However, he cannot get the understanding of others and ends his life in disappointment due to betrayal.

This is the truth about Vlad III.

It is true that ordinary people will not have such detailed and realistic information.

"So, the mastermind of this incident was the Romanian association... Of course it is impossible." Paul made a small joke, crossed his hands and held his chin and said in a deep voice: "Is the remnant party of the Dragon Knights who were expelled from the Romanian association circle? It has not given up its long-cherished wish yet, and it is the leader of this term who has worked hard."

[Red Copper Black Cross] Although it is one of the two Milan heroes, its surface still exists in the form of a consortium. Now Paul Bronterry - [Red Copper Black Cross] The office where he is located is proof.

This is a building that is dozens of stories high in a relatively prosperous area in Milan.

At first glance, the only thing that is not unique to the office except spacious is the red and black flag hanging on the wall behind the desk.

Although he was nearly forty years old, he was still as energetic as a young man, with a sculptural face, full of intelligence and temperament. Moreover, this perfectly trained ** is like steel - just in line with his title of the highest knight in Italy.

He is the knight among the noble knights, the legend of red and black living.

In the past, I had the honor of working with Alice Louis Ov Nafal (commonly known as Princess Alice, the former Speaker of the Council of Sages of Greenwich, and now special adviser, [White Witch]) to jointly fight against the black prince Yarek, and was awarded the title of [Red Demon].

However, just a few short sentences cannot summarize Paul Bronterry, the legendary life of the Supreme Knight.

Now, the man standing at the top of the knight is smiling bitterly.

"Sorry, my niece has caused you trouble."

On the sofa in front of the office, an energetic old man leaned on a cane and said in a faint tone:

"No, I am not angry about this, but I have to thank General Paul's niece, Miss Erica. Fortunately, I found it in time, but the consequences will be more than the degree of the fire."

In fact, the battle triggered outside the hotel venue last night not only destroyed the corridor, but also caused various facilities and casualties to move any official.

Having said that, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the old man in the [Bronze Black Cross].

Things that money can do will be of a level of importance.

"But the remnants of the Dragon Knights have not given up defending Christianity from us... no... magicians with close ties to Islam. This persistence cannot be underestimated."

"There is no way, this is the 'long-cherished wish', one of the meanings of the existence of the Dragon Knights."

"Yes, do you want to kill the old man if you use the holy relics - the spear that pierces the male? "

A sarcastic smile appeared on the old man's lips.

Although he is so old, isn't the person who can command the [Bronze Black Cross] a weak person? Perhaps, if someone and Erica don't take action, and if the figure is ready to be perfected, it will only evolve into a "decisive battle to the death". And if Paul is also present, with the idea of ​​not letting the strong enemy laugh at, the old man should kill the enemy cleanly.

"Fortunately, the suppression was fast, otherwise it would not be surprising even if the 'God' came."

"Is that boy planning to merge with the holy relics? As a representative figure of the 'vampire', it is not surprising that Vlad III's weapon can bring the holder a legendary power, but it is not easy to assert that the corpse is gone."

"You are right. Erica made a report after waking up. According to her description, the other party has the characteristics of a wolf and a ghost on the outside. But it seems to be unstable."

"Sure enough."

After hearing Paul's narration, a hint of relief flashed across the old man's wrinkled face.

"The legend of werewolf originated from the primitive beast belief, and is similar legends from ethnic groups in various regions. The legend of vampires originated from vampire bats in Romania and the allusion of the dragon son Vlad killing people and drinking blood on the battlefield. Moreover, medicine was underdeveloped at that time. On the battlefield or plague, many people were diagnosed with death as being falsely killed. Later, they woke up in the coffin and shouted and struggled loudly. In the early days, these two races were unclear, and they were monsters that sucked the blood of the sleeper when they stood up at night. Therefore, they had the appearance characteristics of both-"

"The holy relics are the crystals condensed by legends."

Paul followed the situation and immediately changed the subject.

"The Dragon Knights with a total number of twenty-four people. Even the remnants of the party should have nearly ten members. For them, any formally recognized member of the League is valuable combat power. Now that one person is lost, it will probably attract more serious revenge."

"What a joke."

The old man suddenly tapped the ground with his cane, which was so calm that it was terrifyingly calm.

"Although it's not a cause for no reason, I dare to attack me. It seems that the trauma left in Romania has almost recovered. I need them to understand how serious the consequences of offending one of the seven major Italian societies [Bronze Black Cross] are."

“Ahha…”

Paul smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond.

He personally supports the old man's decision.

However, after changing the position and considering the position of the commander-in-chief of the [Red Copper Black Cross], the Dragon Knights, which mainly focus on the elite policy, will definitely not be able to defeat the wealthy [Bronze Black Cross].

Then there are only two kinds of results left.

First, annihilate without saying anything.

The second is to annex the remnants of the Dragon Knights as much as possible.

Although with the overall tenacity of the Dragon Knights, there is basically no possibility of actively surrendering or surrendering, in addition to the official members of the Dragon Knights, fresh blood and economic sources are essential to support the group.

Any child selected by the Dragon Knights and raised will be able to become an excellent knight in the future without exception.

It was said a long time ago that the secret magic association [Bronze Black Cross] was the predecessor of the Knights Templars that rampant in Europe in the Middle Ages. They were both knights and descendants of the magicians who served the demon Bafengt.

And [Bronze Black Cross] is almost the same.

As an association that inherits the secret rituals of the Knights Templar, its biggest rival now, if it successfully takes over the legacy of the Dragon Knights, the overall strength of the association will be improved by more than a little.

Paul felt a headache, but he had no reason to stop him.

Thinking from another perspective, if you attempt to assassinate a general of a certain association, you must be prepared to take revenge.

This is common in the magic world, especially when large associations deal with associations that are not as powerful as ones, they will only become more powerful.

"Okay, it's time for me to say goodbye. General Paul remembers to convey my gratitude to Miss Erica for me." The old man stood up slowly and said with a smile.

"You said this from time to time. Because it ruined your birthday party, I scolded her with a cold face."

“The Bronterrey’s education is really harsh.”

"Just just to tell her that it's a price to act impulsively."

"When it comes to impulsive action-"

The old man suddenly stopped in front of the door, turned to look at Paul who was getting up to see him off, and said thoughtfully:

"I remember Miss Erica didn't act alone?"

"Hmm? Yes, there is a hotel staff member leading the way for her."

Speaking of the waiter who was almost fired, Paul's expression was a little shaken.

"Even I found it incredible, but after Erica's assurance, I decided to believe her testimony."

"Does General Paul mean the statement that 'in a human body who has not learned any skills entangled a knight with an experienced and carved holy relics and finally defeated the other party in an unknown way'?"

"--Yes."

"It's really unfounded, but since even General Paul agrees with it, I have nothing to say." The old man sighed and said with a straight face: "As General Manager [Bronze Black Cross] and Chief Kranichar, I admit the talent and courage of the young man, and decided to give it a reward. Since General Paul is inconvenient to express his gratitude to the young man for protecting Miss Erica, then let me do it."

“What are you going to do?”

Paul neither admitted nor denied it.

"I don't have many requirements to let him join the [Bronze Black Cross]. As long as he can really show the qualifications that meet the achievements of "one of the twenty-four people in the Dragon Knights", then I will devote everything to training him to become an excellent big knight. If I can win the position of the big knight, it is no wonder that it will be a candidate for the heir of the general commander."

The old man smiled meaningfully.

After the secretary saw the old man away, Paul sat back on the chair and placed his broad palm on his forehead.

No one knew the old man’s thoughts better than him.

On the surface, he looked disdainful, but in fact he valued that boy very much in his heart? Yes, he had never learned any magic and martial arts, and could defeat the members of the Dragon Knights who crossed the Shura field hundreds of times by relying on instinctive dodging and wisdom. Needless to say, the boy from the countryside did not understand Erica's identity. Even so, he tried hard to protect a girl under ten years old, which was exactly the same as the simplicity and kindness mentioned in the information. In addition, although combat instinct is rare, it is not the most precious. The most precious thing is the "innate confrontation magician, non-human talent".

"...Is the fusion not completely causing the curse riot...? If it is luck, why not kill the gods?"

Paul murmured in a low voice.
