One of the other doors to enter the western region of Yegristan is by sea, which is in the port city of Krago. The harbor itself is located in a bay formed by two capes whose ends almost meet.The distance between the ends of the two caps is only about 100 meters. Even that is also closed by a large gate, which becomes the entrance to Krago port.There is no other port, because most of the edges of the land in this western region are high and steep cliffs from a range of high hills.This bay looks more like a stronghold now. They still let merchant ships anchored, but under strict guard and inspection, with fully armed officers like soldiers in a war.And of course, they also use a similar inspection method in Teles and Dolis in making sure no vampires enter the city.“Oh, isn't this the same method we used in the Illuminati club?” says Sara in a muffled voice, whispering to Daniela who is also in the queue behind her.“I bet this must be Dean's idea to identify the vampires,” replies
Meanwhile, at the square in front of the Holy Belestia Palace, the leaders and a handful of representatives of the noble tribes are having an important meeting.There are several tents from each tribe's representatives there, and indeed this meeting has been going on for almost a week.They have discussed various important matters regarding the re-establishment of the Yegristan kingdom; security matters, preparations for war, and also regarding funding for the rebuilding of Zalfari.There is one most important thing left, which until now they still haven't been able to decide. Who will be the leader?Clearly, everyone knows, whoever is elected here, can be said to be the next king. And each of them also needs to fight for the fate of their respective tribes.Except for Camran...“As the only representative of the Camran tribe present,” the old man Camran leaves his seat and steps forward. “I will give up my right to be elected.”He stands near a small bonfire in the center of the circ
“Wait!” says Camran. “Madiyar has also received two votes from others. And just like what Miarnin did, he also has the right to give them to someone else.”“That’s right. He could just give those two votes to me,” says Elian Korey.“I’ll give them to Dastan,” says Zamir.“I’ll also use my two votes that I kept earlier, and give them to Dastan,” says Teagan.“What is it now, Dastan? Are you going to reject them too?” asks Amanet.Dastan takes a deep breath, imagining the burden that he must bear. He gives a nod composedly, accepting the votes he receives, and letting Camran to announce the result for the election.But suddenly, Elian Korey gets up, like trying to abandon the meeting. “I have to get back to Krago!”“Erzhan!” Camran calls. “We already have the result, and it’s still valid without having you here.”“Whatever! I have to protect my people,” says Elian Korey as he walks away.He leaves, followed by his fellow Erzhan people. The others can only glance at them with displeased
“Hey, where are you going?” calls a man.But Venera doesn't say anything, and gets into one department store.“What the hell is wrong with her?”The two men from the truck see the enemy troops from a distance. Not wanting to take any chances, they just take the little girl away.Inside the department store, Venera hides under the counter desk, terrified hugging her knees. She is always shocked while covering his ears for every time the thunderous sound of enemy weapons boom wrecking the city.The dark night sky occasionally becomes bright because of the blue light of the mana blasters fired by the MAB rifles.Likewise, the deafening sound of a series of shots from submachine guns makes her shiver in fear.Something strange occurs, something she had never experienced before. Her perception becomes so sharp.She begins to feel the sinister emotion approaching, as the enemy troops cross the street in front of that department store.The sound of war is getting close, shouting from soldiers
But the situation is a little different at another point not too far away. Not many troops led by Madiyar are adept at using mana, while they have to fight a horde of low class vampires.“Keep shooting!” Madiyar shouts out loud, reinforcing the faith in his men’s heart. “They may seem immortal, but you still can take them down with your weapons!”Those Tetartos keep butchering people despite the bullets hitting them. A few of them are down after getting so many hits.But it doesn't take too long before they get back up and start slaughtering their enemies again. The curse of immortality not only makes them durable, but also strong.Each swing of their swords is capable of cutting a human body with just one stroke. And they don’t look exhausted at all after slaughtering quite a lot of people.“I don't give a damn with your noble blood!”“We are the best race of humankind now!”“We are strong! We are immortals!”Just two seconds after that one Tetarto mentioned about being immortal, his
Neda returns after escorting a group of civilians to the west side. Not alone, but he is accompanied by Kosha, Zandhos, and Fardad.Their running suddenly slows down, and then they walk while observing the gore sight around them.They know this is war. But this is the first time they encounter such a terrifying sight, where pieces of vampire body parts are scattered everywhere with the streets already wet with pooled blood.“Maan! Even in my worst nightmare, I’ve never seen something like this,” utters Fardad.“Just try to get used to it,” says Kosha. “You have to make sure to cut them to pieces so they won’t come hunting you back.”Lightning rumbles, and the sky begins to drizzle, making the red color of the pool of blood less intense. Those pieces of vampires’ body parts start decomposing at high rate“Let’s meet the others,” says Zamir, inviting them to go to Amanet and his men.They move south, and find that the battle between Amanet's men and the enemy is still taking place.Aman
He only became Triton because he happened to receive the curse of immortality from Samuel Bowman, who is a Deftero. Not that he would bow before another Defteros beside Samuel.“I could just wipe all of your soldiers if I wanted too.” Jacoby Wilkerson walks slowly towards Charlie Fox, before standing face to face in front of him.Charlie collects his courage to talk back. “If you are really that great, then why don’t you go there and get that man yourself?”“Because we need him alive,” replies Jacoby Wilkerson. “That’s why we send wave of troops after wave of troops to wear him down. Only after he is weakened, then we will step in to capture the man.”“Heh, such a cowardly way just to deal with one person,” Charlie sneers.“I don’t like it either,” replies Jacoby Wilkerson before turning away. “If only I were allowed to kill that man, then I’d have already killed him by now.”Currently they are sending the third battalion. With this, they have sent more than a thousand infantry, with
They both are knocked away, so is Fardad. They are still alive, but badly injured, while a few of the vampires are coming to that department store.Luckily, Dean notices their situation from a far, and immediately closes the distance in less than two seconds, and slaughters those vampires by himself.“Hey, you guys! Are you okay?”“Yeah,” replies Fardad, despite how serious his injury is. “I’m fine. I still can fight.”“No! You better go get some treatment,” says Dean as he walks away.But soon, he notices that he doesn’t get any response from Neda and Zamir. He stops and looks back, worrying about those two’s condition.Neda is already back on his feet, while Zamir is still sitting on his knees, looking down full of regret.“Since when?” asks Neda.But Zamir doesn’t say a word. It makes Neda so impatient, and immediately pulls Zamir up by holding his collars.“Answer me!” he yells. “Since when did she become one of them? Why did you hide it from everyone? Look at how many of our frie
