Chapter 84 Hey, Can You Say That Again?
"W-Who are you people!?"
A human soldier questioned in fear as he glanced at the beings who were attacking and killing all the soldiers mercilessly.
There were barely 20 in number, how are they overpowering 100 of them to this extent!?
"AAAGGHHH!!"
"UGGHH!!"
"Spar- AGGHHH!"
However, the only thing he received as an answer was screams.
Screams of his comrades who were now dead.
These figures were eerily silent, it was as if the only thing they knew about was killing.
The human soldier looked around and started analyzing the situation.
He needs to think,
He needs to find a way to survive.
And he needs to do it fast.
Fighting them directly won\'t help, these people are too strong.
Going against them directly is a stupid idea.
The human soldier then turned around and saw a path.
Yes, that was a blind spot.
He will run away from there.
As for his comrades? Their life did not matter to him. Especially when his own life is in danger right.
A smile appeared on the man\'s face when he thought about it, however, just as he was about to run, his world turned upside and everything that surrounded him started growing taller.
No, something was wrong.
His vision then moved on its own and he saw a blue sky, and then, the vision continued moving and soon, a headless body appeared in front of his eyes.
The human frowned, however, soon, his eyes widened in surprise.
\'M-My bod-\'
*Thud*
That was his thought.
After that, his head fell to the floor and he lost his consciousness.
Something similar happened with other soldiers as well.
They all died within one slash, only a few lucky ones were able to block a move or two before dying.
The difference between the two sides was overwhelming.
It didn\'t take long,
10 minutes.
Within 10 minutes, 100 human soldiers who chased after vampires were annihilated.
"Uuggghh, only 100 chased after them, so annoying. I wanted to kill more humans." The man who started the attack and killed the leader of the humans groaned in dissatisfaction.
"Tsk Tsk, can\'t you control yourself a little? Who told you to attack so quickly?" A woman walked close to the man and snorted.
"Hmph! You were unable to command properly, you are just incompetent." The man snorted.
"I am not incompetent! It\'s you who is too reckless! These humans were weak; what if there was an Advance Stage Cultivator among them?"
"Hmph! So what!? I can easily take on an Advance Stage Cultivator."
"Oh yeah? I don\'t think so!"
"It doesn\'t matter what you think!"
The two of them started bickering with each other.
"…"
The Slave Vampires, who had run away from the battlefield glanced at the people in front of him with blank looks on their faces.
They then glanced at each other and nodded.
"U-Umm… W-Who are you people?" One of them stepped forward and questioned.
"You bas-"
Hearing their question, the two beings stopped fighting each other and turned around.
However, as soon as they turned around, the vampires\' eyes widened in shock,
"R-Red eyes… A-Are you guys vampires…?" One of the vampires questioned.
"Ahem Ahem."
The man who killed the leader cleared his throat.
"So you people are going to join us."
"…"
"…"
"…"
The woman beside the man and the other vampires, all of the people around the man turned silent and looked at the man with a blank looks on their faces.
"W-What?"
"Ferox… I think you are more suited for fighting, you should leave all the talks to me and Valerian."
The man, Ferox, narrowed his eyes.
"Are you calling me dumb, Tassia?" He questioned.
"No, I am not calling you dumb, well I am, but I do not mean that."
Tassia answered.
"I am just saying that you should leave the talks to me, just look at those people, do you think they understand what you are talking about at all?" Tassia questioned as she pointed at the vampires.
"…"
Ferox turned silent.
These vampires looked confused.
But he couldn\'t understand one thing, why are they so confused?
What is there to be confused about?
Didn\'t he explain everything so clearly?
Or are these vampires especially dumb?
Seeing that confused look on Ferox\'s face, Tassia sighed.
She didn\'t know what he was thinking, however, she didn\'t care about it either.
As long as he was silent, she was satisfied.
She then turned towards the vampires and smile elegantly.
"To answer your question, yes, we are vampires."
As she said that, other beings who attacked the humans with them turned toward the Slave Vampires, they all had red eyes and pale skin, signalling that they are indeed vampires.
"I… I do not believe that… If you are vampires, then how are you so strong?" A vampire couldn\'t help but question.
Hearing his question, a smile appeared on Ferox\'s face.
"Hey, can you say that again?"
He pointed at the vampire who said that and requested.
"Huh?" The vampire who said that frowned.
However, he complied with the weird request.
"If you are vampires, how are you so strong?"
Ferox\'s smile widened.
\'Hahaha. This feels good, it\'s the same thing I felt when Sir Azriel killed those humans, however, this time, I am the one who surprised all the other vampires.
Hahahaha. It feels so good."
Tassia and other vampires looked at him weirdly.
However, Tassia then shook her head and decided to continue.
"Vampires are stronger than humans. I am sure even you guys can defeat normal humans, correct?"
The vampires nodded.
"As for the cultivators, if you guys follow us, you would be able to defeat them as well," Tassia muttered and the vampires\' eyes widened in surprise.
Defeating cultivators!?
How is that possible!?
And as if knowing their thoughts, Tassia smiled,
"I know it is hard to believe, a few months ago, we were the same as you, slaves who thought our fate was to serve humans.
However, someone changed our life and made us into what we are.
All we did was trust that person, now all you need to do is trust us.
We, Vampires, are a lot stronger than you think."
Tassia\'s red eyes shined brightly.
The Slave vampires glanced at each other and then their gaze turned serious.
They have nowhere else to go, they would have been killed if it wasn\'t for the \'vampires\' in front of them.
They owe them their life.
"We trust you." The vampires nodded.
A smile appeared on Tassia\'s face and she nodded back.
"Good."
The vampires then asked a few questions, Tassia answered some of them while she just shook her head for the others.
She didn\'t know how much she should reveal to these vampires.
That is for Lady Ithania to decide, not her.
"They are all dead."
15 minutes later, Ferox muttered with a solemn look on his face.
The slave vampires frowned.
What the hell is this man talking about?
Tassia however, understood what he meant and a sad look appeared on her face.
Ferox saw that and shook his head,
"Don\'t think too much about it, it was their fault that they weren\'t brave enough to defy those humans and beasts even if it meant their death."
"But they were still vampires…" Tassia muttered.
"As Lady Ithania and Sir Azriel say, only the brave and strong can survive in this world."
Ferox muttered and Tassia nodded.
She then turned toward the vampires and ordered,
"Alright, let\'s move to our camp."
"Hmm hmm, you bring all of them to the camp, I will go first and report everything to Lady Ithania." Ferox muttered. Tassia nodded in agreement and Ferox ran deep into the forest at a startling speed.
The slave vampires were surprised by how quick he was.
Even though they had already seen him fight, it was still shocking to them.
"Alright, don\'t stop, keep moving, we don\'t have much time."
Tassia ordered and everyone continued moving.
…
2 hours later, all the vampires walked into a camp that Ithania had set up.
After settling everyone down, Tassia rushed towards Ithania and bowed.
"Lady Ithania."
"Good job. I have heard the report." Ithania praised.
"Thank you." Tassia nodded with a smile on her face.
"Will this be the last batch?" Ferox questioned.
"Yes, after sending these vampires to the mansion, we will be going to where Dwarves and Elves reside." Ithania nodded.
It has been 15 days since the Beastmen attacked the human town.
Ithania only needed 2-3 days to arrange everything.
The distance from this camp to Luminia\'s mansion was only 600 km.
She had created a complete pathway for all the vampires to follow.
A 12 days journey, with 2 big camps that have 3 Beginner Stage Cultivators protecting the camps, and 9 small camps with 10 Apprentice Stage Cultivators protecting the camps. (There\'s a picture in the paragraph comment on the road. It is handwritten so forgive this poor author for bad handwriting.)
The vampires moved at night and rest during the day.
Every day, they only have to walk for 50 km and reach the next camp before the morning. Then, they rest and move to another camp the next day.
This process may look long and tedious.
But for Ithania, it was a simple job.
All she had to do was send the batch of vampires from here and her subordinates will do the rest.
For this 12 days long journey, she only needs to work for a few hours and then she is able to receive the next batch.
Of course, this was the last batch and now,
She can finally go to Dwarves and Elves.
Heh.
"Alright, I should call him now."
