I Became a Progenitor Vampire - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Unknown Fate: Part 2

Rackel put down his greatsword and knelt on one knee.

There was extreme pain in his eyes.

“Master Mage, we surrender.”

The moment Ollie saw Rackel knelt down, his heart shattered as tears blurred his eyes.

“No, Rackel, we cannot surrender to the vampires, they will kill us…”

Rackel’s body shook, but he still kept his head low.

He had no choice, none of them had a choice.

There was a possibility of survival if they surrendered, but resistance only meant death.

Rackel painfully closed his eyes. He was not those ignorant civilians, as a level 7 warrior, and had been a mercenary of a regular mercenary group, he knew how powerful these vampires were.

“Very well. I could see that you are held in high regard among this group of people. If you keep your people in check, you will not be in danger.”

Evie nodded with satisfaction, and the ending was determined from the moment the vampires appeared.

At first, she was thinking of defeating the strongest of them to inspire fear in the others, but due to the civil strife, this group of humans lost the ability to resist.

The ending was far better than she had expected.

Rackel stood up, and calm returned to his face, just like when he did mercenary work in the capital of the Norland Empire. The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer he was.

“Master Mage, we have one final request.” Rackel pointed at Marcus, who was too afraid to say anything. “This cowardly noble had caused us to lose our family. I hope to cut his head off myself. I swear to you, if you can realize this wish, I am willing to give everything to you.”

Hearing that, Marcus trembled.

“No, venerable vampire, I am a noble of the empire, I can ransom my life with gold coins. I have that privilege.”

When Marcus saw more than a dozen vampires staring at him, his eyes were full of fear.

Evie frowned.

Glancing at the crowd, she found that most of the humans there were filled with seething rage.

Clearly, this human noble had caused public anger.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

“All right, do as you please to this noble.”

Upon hearing Evie’s words, the crowd who thought Marcus would escape everything once again had the flames of fury igniting inside them again.

It was this damned bastard who made their friends and family die in futile resistance. The anger against the vampires and the fear for their future were all turned into a fury to be vented upon Marcus at that very moment.

Even with the protection of a Level 7 guard, Ender, Marcus was still torn to pieces by the angry crowd.

Evie stood aside and did not stop the bloody rampage.

After watching the crowd’s mood gradually turning in the wrong direction, she raised her hand.

A fireball that was a full circle larger than a head appeared in her hands.

Second Circle Magic—Greater Fireball.

The scorching flames and powerful magical surge instantly froze the crowd’s raging atmosphere.

Evie waved her hand violently, and the Greater Fireball flew into the air, and after exceeding 100 rhents in height.

Bammm!!

The fireball exploded and the sky was burning.

In the evening when the sun had already set, the light of the fireball was brighter than the sky.

A shockwave blasted downward, and the gathered crowd’s hair was singed to the point of curling.

Rackel dropped his greatsword and looked at the vampire before him in shock.

Although he knew that this vampire was powerful, he totally did not expect that she was capable of casting such a terrifying offensive spell.

He could not defeat such a powerful spellcaster, and even among mercenaries, he rarely ever saw such a powerful one.

Plus, he still had hundreds of his people around him.

Seeing the vampires that surrounded them and the Hexbats that covered the skies, all the thoughts he had were all tossed to the backburner.

Goddess of Life above, why is there such a group of powerful vampires at the border? Are all the troops of Grimm useless pigs?

“Master Mage, what will you have us do?”

Looking at Rackel, Evie nodded. Her bright black eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.

“Smart human, you have the aura of a mercenary about you. I think with your knowledge, you know that the power of the vampires is beyond your abilities to resist. You shall organize all of the humans, and I will use the Hexbats to send you to the castle of the Vampires of the Divine Light. You will receive work there, and enough food to survive this winter. I bear no malice against you, the orcs have destroyed your home, and our castle shall be your future home.”

Although Rackel did not believe Evie, he had no right to resist before her absolute power.

“Master Mage, we have many old and young…” Remembering the horrible tales about vampires, he felt a little worried. “We cannot give our families up.”

Due to the lack of blood, the old and the young were often directly killed in the legends.

“Human, I will repeat this to you one last time. We are the Vampires of the Divine Light, we are not the same as the evil vampires you know. Proceed with the headcount, and divide them by family units. I will take all of them back to the castle.”

Rackel looked at Evie’s serious gaze, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

Perhaps it was true that the vampires were divided into the Divine Light and the evil ones?

Now that things had developed to this stage, he was unable to resist. He could only do according to Evie’s orders, and pray that the latter would fulfill her promise.

The power of the vampires here was enough to fight a hundred orcish cavalry alone, and no one could resist them.

Rackel took a few familiar militiamen and began to do a headcount according to Evie’s orders, and divided the civilians into groups according to their family units.

In fact, after the arrival of the vampires, apart from the militia that had killed Marcus, the rest were already divided themselves. In this chaotic situation, no one would not want to stay with their family.

Rackel walked among the crowd. Looking at the confused faces around him, his heart was in extreme pain.

Some of these people were his friends, some neighbors. If he had stronger power, then these people would not have to face their current dilemma.

“Rackel, it’s okay, we trust you.”

“Rackel, hahaha, don’t cry like a coward. Aren’t we all still alive?”

“Rackel…”

A series of calls was the only sound that rang out as dusk set in.

This group of humans who had just lost their homes did not know the fate that awaited them was actually not too bad.
