Chapter 133: Chapter 133 The Furious Duke Xianhua

Under Qin Shulan’s coordination, the loading speed of the ships was very fast.

However, the battle was not over, as the sounds of combat could be heard in the sky now and then. Their actions had disturbed some Bat Demon Beasts, which were already in pursuit.

These Bat Demon Beasts didn’t have much intelligence, nor did they know to report back about the situation here.

Still, when attacked, they would give chase and retaliate. Unfortunately, most of these Bats were only at the Apprentice level, with only their leaders reaching the Bronze level, though their numbers were few.

During the aerial combat, most Bats were no match for the White Bone Vultures.

Even if some were more formidable, the Skeleton Generals riding the White Bone Vultures and Mechanical Flying Eagles wouldn’t let them survive. At the silver level, they could already project their Fighting Spirit from a considerable distance.

For this battle, they were all equipped with various ranged weapons.

For example, Javelins and Flying Axes.

In any case, these devices were very simple to use and immensely powerful. Against those Bat Demon Beasts, as long as they were fast enough, the creatures had no chance to evade.

In the sky, Bats and Skeletons fell from time to time, scattering on the ground.

"The last squad has arrived, Mr. Qin, it’s time for us to depart," a Skeleton Hero swiftly stated.

Qin Shulan glanced over and saw that many Skeletons were already digging pits on the ground, temporarily burying themselves. These were the ones they could not bring with them, left here as a portion of their forces.

If they were discovered and lost, it would be considered bad luck for them, and not a significant impact.

"Good, let’s go. There was a major storm two days ago, it should be safe now."

Through this period of trial, Qin Shulan had confirmed that a major storm would hit the nearby seas every half month. At that time, their ships would have no chance of survival.

But outside of the stormy periods, as long as they didn’t encounter any formidable Sea Beasts, there should be no problems.

Such a massive fleet, combined with so many powerful individuals aboard, meant that ordinary Sea Beasts wouldn’t dare approach frivolously. Not to mention, a large number of Death Lobster Men were escorting them in the water, where they were quite dominant.

This conclusion had been reached at the cost of many sacrifices.

The ships departed, leaving behind nothing but disarray. By the time daylight revealed the scene, the fleet had already reached the open sea, and there was no chance of catching up.

"What do we do now, the Blood Clan guards are all dead, and the Blood Clan Nobles have disappeared. This is troublesome."

By day, as soldiers were just starting their patrol, they stumbled upon the aftermath. Although they were actually pleased about the disappearance of the Blood Clan, they couldn’t show it outwardly.

If someone reported it, they could end up terribly unfortunate.

"No choice but to report this; it’s not something we can contain."

Soon after, they began to select someone to report the incident. It was a dangerous task, where one could easily lose their life.

In the end, they resorted to drawing lots, fate choosing an unfortunate soul to deliver the news. Unknown to them, the same processes were happening in other Territories as well.

Around noon, a series of intense knocks caused a lavish coffin to open from within. A man who looked to be about forty years old sat up with a sullen expression.

"What’s happened, why have you awoken me?"

For a Vampire, daytime was akin to the Human’s night. Slay had only just gone to sleep not long ago and was disturbed. It was impossible for him to be in a good mood.

"Duke, I am sorry to disturb you, but something serious has happened, and we need you to handle it."

Seeing Duke Xianhua’s expression, the subordinate immediately bowed, presenting a report cautiously.

Slay angrily grabbed the document, but as he read on, his face turned to one of rising anger. "Dammit, what is this all about, why am I only hearing about this now?"

With a slap, Slay smashed a table nearby, releasing a powerful aura that paralyzed several underlings, dare not move. Ordinary Humans working there simply rolled their eyes and fainted.

"Take these useless ones away," uttered Slay, retracting his aura.

Several servants were dragged off, their fate certainly not a kind one.

"My apologies, Duke, it’s because there were fewer outsiders last night, and their actions were organized, so we didn’t detect them," they weren’t sure what else to say, equally stunned when the news first reached them.

"Organized actions? Such a significant organization went undetected, and now one hundred and sixty-two Blood Clan Nobles have disappeared; is this a small matter?"

To maintain the existence of the Blood Clan, the Flower Plateau had to limit the number of Vampires from the start, controlling population growth.

In fact, each new Vampire needed approval. Unauthorized increase without approval would lead to both Vampires being hunted.

If not for the small numbers, the Humans in this region would have been insufficient to sustain them.

After all, they needed fresh blood as food, and the Flower Plateau could only provide so much.

With just under two thousand to begin with, the disappearance of nearly a tenth of their number couldn’t possibly be considered a minor issue.

"What if they strike again, are we all to vanish? Tell me, what have you found, and who is our enemy?" Slay stared intensely at the subordinate before him.

"Duke, according to our investigation, there was a strong Death Aura left at the scene. Also, in some areas, our Bats fought with many skeleton birds. The ground is littered with Corpse Bones. We believe, it must have been the work of the Undead."

The reputation of the Undead wasn’t good, even worse than their Blood Clan.

"The Undead? Which Undead could be so capable, do we have any mighty Undead Forces nearby?"

"We are not sure, perhaps it was the World Fragment that fell recently, carrying a powerful Undead Force."

This was certainly possible, and Slay had calmed down by now. "Very well, then investigate thoroughly. Anyone who dares to cross the Blood Clan must be severely punished, do you understand?"

"Understood, I am on it immediately." The subordinate hurriedly left the premises, at least for this time being saved.

Yet, thinking of the hidden enemy, none of the Vampires had a peaceful sleep. That day, the entire Flower Plateau was in uproar, every Territory desperately searching for the Undead.
