Burden

War is like a game of chess, some would say.

But in reality, war is much more complicated than the various possible moves on a chessboard.

Zaganide had intended to delay the time of Beitman's counterattack, and to distract its plans by sending the Vampire Guards to the rear of Beitman, but no one, not even Zaganide himself, could have predicted what happened next.

If Zaganide was considered the most notorious lord of territories on the continent, then his Vampire Guards were the most notorious troops. Even crimes, such as raping and looting, were too gentle for them.

Soldiers in a war eat the meat of their enemies when hungry, and drink their blood when thirsty. This was a line from a poem that vented one's deep hatred for his enemies. However, the Vampire Guards had turned these unimaginable things into reality.
