"Prince we have captured about of half of the city"s population of 30.000, how do we proceed?" A thin little man showed his two sharp canines as he asked the man in a blood-colored robe seating on a golden throne as he sip his wine."How many people I can transform into followers?"
" Low-grade vampires can transform about 1-5, mid-grade can transform 5-40 and high-grade vampires limit is about 40-100. If it is a n.o.ble high-grade like the sixth prince, then about 500-600, even up to a thousand is possible?"
"Take the strongest and send them to me. If every single vampire can transform other, we will easily reach a thirty thousand men army." He was staying at the Baylight Manor where the previous mayor lived before being transformed into a low-grade vampire and throw at the streets.
"Herac... No, Iris, take a few men and go patrol the surroundings. The other prices may be allies, but I"ve played enough games to know not to trust in anyone I can"t see. Who knows what those bored G.o.ds may be thinking right now."
"Roger that." Iris saluted before leaving with the other generals. He was wearing a iron mask Elijah gave him to cover his head.
Now left alone in his throne, Elijah was thinking deeply. "I"ve been here for about one to two weeks, not that it matters. It is just that the s.p.a.ce-time gate really scares me with all it did, not only it could send us all to a past event and live as different people, even create this interactive menus like a game was not impossible. This is much more immersive than my fully modded skyrim or the VR-pods back in home."
He was trying to understand the entire structure of how the gate works. From what he heard from more than one G.o.d, anything they do here won"t really change s.p.a.ce or time. Not that it is impossible, but it is just better than having thousands of G.o.ds s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g the timeline. The gate even operates in a way to fully administer time, the master of the artifact can see most of the different timelines and control a few things. The gate can even sense every time someone uses a power related to time and sent notifications to the master who can decide if the change shall be reversed or not.
The only problem is that the palace master has vanished for hundreds of years and no one knows where he went. Suddenly a transparent screen appeared in the air showing Iris" face. It was the "Chat" function that allowed to communicate with text, voice or video across long distance.
"Prince, large concentrations of Usekians have been found heading to the The Red Hills, fifty kilometers away from the city"s west gate."
"How many."
"There seems to be more than one group, yet the one we detected has at little more than a hundred."
"Which vampire has shape-s.h.i.+fting skills?"
"I think it is only prince and a n.o.ble vampire by the name of Alucard."
"One of my direct blood followers then. Wait there, I will contact him.... Good, he"s heading to your position. He will take one of them down without any witness and use the Usek"s silver blood to disguise as one of them."
"I will be waiting."
The screen turned off and Elijah stared at the sky. Only two moons could be seen on the sky at the moment and he could not help but think of having a look around.
"Map." A three-dimensional holographic screen appeared in front of him showing the world map. The entire planet was really huge with most of the territory being neutral or ruled by the Usekians. From the three thousand cities, a hundred has been taken by the other princes in the past few days with him being the one with the smallest territory of only one city. Good news that the city he occupied was located close to a mine full of rare materials used to craft and provide good weapons and armor to his people.
"Using Origin knowledge a cheat? If not i should be able to craft a few good weapons that could raise my chance of winning this war by 10%." In the end was like a strategic game with information about where his troops were and what he could order them to do. A pair of dark bat-like wings spread out as he turned into a streak of light, heading to the closest city. Volance, a city the third prince just subdued.
The sun was about to rise when Elijah could see the city in the distance. The entire city was about four times bigger than the city he had. He already knew from seeing it in the map, but it was more pleasing to the eyes when seeing it in person. The entire city was divided into upper north, upper west and the Volance fortress.
[Ohh, another prince has come to see me. I"m the third prince Asgeal. Divine name is Ninia, G.o.ddess of lost seconds. Go meet me at the Volance fortress, it will take a moment to change my clothes.] A large text appeared before his eyes and Elijah knew the prince or princess has noticed his presence. The reason for coming here was because, being the weakest among the princes, he had to find strong support on which he could lean on until he could stand tall by himself.
[Understood, arriving in ten minutes.] Elijah send his reply and increased his speed toward the city. the moment he arrived, a tall fortress could be seen with a thousand winged-vampires scouting the area before stopping their eyes at him and murmured between themselves.
"So he is the sixth prince, the one with the smallest territory from the seven princes."
"Yeah. I heard he is the weakest among the seven. He should not be a famous celestial too right? If not he would have a few hundred descendants partic.i.p.ating in the time war like our princess."
"Who cares if he is the weakest. Just his real ident.i.ty as a celestial is higher than most of us that only are the at peak of mortality because of having good genes."
"Even then he should be just a celestial at the initial realm."
"I"m not so sure. I"ve a friendly relations.h.i.+p with Heracles who is serving as the sixth prince first general and it seems he seems to be the rules of a high-grade mortal planet in the main universe."
"What, not even my dad has a high-grade planet all for himself. I heard most were controlled by huge organizations and clans."
"If he is so amazing then we should go over and guide him to the princess."
"Yeah."
"I agree."
Elijah could hear their silly talk from far and raised the corner of his lips. Those demiG.o.ds quickly arrived and bowed to him.
"Prince, we shall take you to see our master."
