Outside Northwind Castle.
The clamor and noise rose and fell, filling the air in all directions.
"For the Ashen Nest!"
"Occupy Northwind Castle!"
The crowded wyverns resembled a surge of dark clouds that covered the sky, and the densely packed kobolds and Goblins flooded the ground like a muddy tide.
The skies and lands outside Northwind Castle were occupied by the retainers. To those inside the city, it appeared as if the end of days had arrived.
"Oh, my god..."
The city guards standing on the walls looked up at the sky and murmured to themselves.
The Wyvern Knights from the Ashen Nest flew over the city, dropping leaflets like snowflakes.
The leaflets promised generous treatment upon surrender. They also included a reproduction of the contract with Duke Brad Rackman, even featuring images of the blood slaves of Northwind Castle.
The final line struck straight to the heart—
[Do you really want to pledge your loyalty to the death for a vampire?]
