Chapter 285 The End of The Battle

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Humans have human rights. But then, do vampires have vampire rights?

It was obvious that they didn’t.

The Seraphkin and the elves possessed powerful forces that could destroy cities and nations. This was the reason why others didn’t dare to mess around with them. However, vampires didn’t have powerful backgrounds.

As a result, many vampires became Theirlooms’ after they were captured.

This wasn’t fake news.

William had witnessed this in his previous life.

He had been a demon hunter in his previous life and was on close terms with several demon hunters. However, after he visited his friend’s house, he discovered that friend wanted to introduce him to his ‘darling’.

Initially, William was very cautious, afraid that his friend might do some obscene action. After all, the NPCs in ‘Gods’ were really flirty. He had to keep his guard up against them.

The NPCs posted fake missions whenever they liked, not to mention harassing others.

Luckily, that friend didn’t harass William.

William had thought that the friend had some demon hunter special tools to show him. He had become rather happy and had contemplated whether he could use his charm and money to obtain some tools.

However, after he opened the door, William couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

In the basement, there were dozens of tied-up vampires. There were both male and female vampires in all sorts of positions, as well as various toys.

Gosh!

The scene terrified William so much that he ran off. He didn’t dare to stay a second longer. Thereafter, he simply retired from the demon hunter profession.

There were quite a few perverts in the demon hunter profession.

Not only did they toy with vampires, but some also toyed with devils…

It had to be emphasized.

The world of this profession was much darker and deeper than the Mariana Trench.

In William’s previous life, a demon hunter player made a statement.

William thought that it was very apt. What was it again?

Once one enters the dark world of demon hunters, one will lose one’s innocence forever.

Vampires, devils, and other monsters are to be kept as heirlooms forever.

After the Darkness invasion, devils appeared to be very awesome and arrogant.

However, that was not the case for every devil.

All of them knew that if they happened to encounter demon hunters, they should either kill them or be killed. No matter what, they shouldn’t be caught alive by the demon hunters.

Otherwise, even if the demon hunters weren’t perverts, they might auction the devils at a high price.

Not only demon hunters, but human aristocrats also wanted them…

There was nothing off limits to the human aristocrats, as they were open to trying new stuff.

As for why demon hunters were doing this, it was partly because they want to vent their emotions too.

Demon hunters were professionals that battled against dark creatures.

The profession of demon hunters had been passed down from generation to generation. They had been taught to hate dark creatures ever since they were born.

It was worth mentioning that since demon hunters had relatives and friends working in the same profession too, with some killed by devils, they had to think of a way to make the dark creatures fear them.

As a result, the demon hunters turned into perverts.

After Lord Bernard was subdued by the silver-backed monkey, the East Sea Metropolis human legion surrendered and shouted that they were innocent.

They claimed that they did not know of the existence of vampires, and they were just kind people who got cheated…

However, it was evident to William what they were thinking about.

But at this point of time, the vampires were either dead or escaping, so William didn’t want to do anything pointless.

However, even if this group of people chose to surrender, with some wanting to defect to the City of Dawn, William didn’t ease up. “Strip them of their equipment and lock them up. Burned Cinder, bring a few legions to the castles and take everything there. Don’t leave anything behind,” he said in a stern voice.

“Yes, my Lord!”

“Wait, don’t kill the vampires that we have caught. They are still useful.”

“Huh?” Burned Cinder and the others were flabbergasted. They looked at William accusingly, not expecting him to be that kind of person.

The prince’s mouth twitched. “I have something to ask them. Actually, just keep Bernard. We can sell the other vampires to the demon hunters for a hefty price.”

“That’s right! You can sell the vampires to us, we promise you definitely won’t suffer any losses.” Several demon hunters had inexplicable smiles on their faces, making many vampires shudder in fear.

“Ahem, we’ll do the trading at market price later. Vampires who have fair skin and are small-sized will be sold at a higher price. Female vampires will cost double.”

A demon hunter that wielded a magic crossbow looked incredulously at William. “Wow, I didn’t expect Lord William to know the market price for vampires. Rest assured that us demon hunters aren’t swindlers. Nonetheless, I hope you can let us choose the vampires that we want first.”

“Sure, sure. But let me settle the East Sea Metropolis issue at hand first. You’re okay with that?”

“Of course. We came here to hunt vampires. We wouldn’t dare to fight for treasure with the Dawn Army!” The demon hunter laughed.

William smiled back at him. He didn’t mind establishing a good relationship with these demon hunters.

After all, the demon hunter community was rather large.

They weren’t as strong as other top-notch forces such as the Temple of Light and the Magic Sanctuary.

However, the Demon Hunter Union was only a little weaker than them in the legendary continent. As the Darkness invasion progressed, there were drastic increases in the number of demon hunters. Although the combat power of the Demon Hunter Union was slightly weaker compared to others, they were rather powerful in other aspects.

There would be other chances to interact with these demon hunters in the future.

Perhaps William could even build a Demon Hunter Union in the City of Dawn.

There were too many professionals in the City of Dawn, and there weren’t many devils and dark creatures to kill.

However, players could still be demon hunters.

If they became demon hunters, they could experience the thrill of having a new identity. They could still be part of the Dawn Mercenary Team at the same time.

This idea could work out!

The East Sea Metropolis had been defeated.

They had been defeated so easily and were completely overwhelmed by the City of Dawn’s fierce offense.

To many, this was an incredible feat.

The East Sea Metropolis was an established force. Moreover, they had three Grandmaster professionals.

While the City of Dawn was a new force that popped out recently.

However, the Dawn Army’s combat power was insanely strong.

There were as many as 50,000 Elf professionals. This was one of the key factors behind their strong combat power. Everyone’s knowledge of an Elf’s combat power was being constantly refreshed.

More importantly, the average equipment quality of the Dawn Army was in no way inferior to any Grand Duchy. It could even be said that the Dawn Army’s equipment was better.

Various forces started gathering intel about the City of Dawn.

This caused them to re-evaluate the power of the City of Dawn, making them reconsider how to cooperate or do business with the City of Dawn in the future.

However, they didn’t expect that William had already started preparing for it, since half a year ago.

In addition, he was a reborn entity and possessed many advantages. It was no problem for him to easily dominate over the East Sea Metropolis.

It was just that he didn’t want to interact with human empires at such an early stage and become their vassal.

Otherwise, he would already have started to make a move on other human Dukedoms and Grand Duchies.

From the beginning of the war to the surrender of the East Sea Metropolis, it had taken only a total of six hours.

However, wrapping things up was troublesome. It took three whole days for the soldiers who surrendered to be properly accounted for.

It could not be helped.

William had to personally do this.

He had to slowly use his insight on every soldier, and also examine their bloodline and loyalty.

In the end, he selected 30,000 soldiers from East City Metropolis among the 70,000 surrendered. They were accepted in the City of Dawn, and the rest were dismissed.

William didn’t have time to deal with the professionals whose loyalty levels and affinity with him were low.

Those people could only serve as manual labor for the development of the City of Dawn.

As an outstanding lord, William definitely wouldn’t give up on any chance to make them useful.

Anyway, since they had successfully defeated the East Sea Metropolis vampires, that force belonged to William now.

It was simple.

He would revamp this East Sea Metropolis that was filled with a rotten and fishy smell.

This revamp work would start immediately!

The professionals that had not been selected to be part of the City of Dawn were the main laborers.

Regardless of whether it was raining or shining, they had to work.

Anyway, they were strong. If the worst comes to the worst, they could activate their battle energy shield. With that, they didn’t need to be afraid of hail.

“What a pity! Other than 1,300,000 experience points, we didn’t even get other rewards like Instance Dungeons and Legend Status. Luckily, we still have two million gold coins and 10,000 magical stones from the castle!”

William had no comments about the rewards.

He was just a lucky charm in this battle and hadn’t contributed much.

He didn’t inflict much damage in the battle.

This was truly a life fit for a Lord.

He could just give out commands, and his men would do everything for him.

It would be weird if William had to do everything himself.

Anyway, he definitely wasn’t going to tell anyone that he was scared that a Grandmaster vampire would launch a sneak attack on him. That was the key reason why he didn’t want to show his face.

“With 1,300,000 experience points from this, plus the experience points that I collected from the players, I can upgrade to Level 90 now.” William touched his chin. He upgraded by 10 levels at one go.

He was granted 8 free attribute points for each level upgrade.

He had a total of 80 free attribute points now. He hesitated for a moment before he increased his Power and Agility by 40 points each.

His four enhanced attributes were as follows:

[Power: 671+45+30 (+135)]

[Physical Strength: 266+45+30 (+50)] [Agility: 705+45+30 (+112)] [Intelligence: 257+28+64 (+10)]

“I haven’t even factored in the bloodline bonus effect. My current bloodline bonus effect is 99%. Once I reach Level 100, it will go up to 110%. Wow, I really want to level up to Level 100 as soon as possible and become a Grandmaster professional. Everything will change then.”

“One might say that Agility isn’t important. However, as a result of my luck, my Agility doesn’t boost my Dodge Chance at all. But it can increase my attack and movement speed, as well as my flight speed.

“This is important especially when I am escaping. Average people can’t catch up with me at all. This is also a crucial skill if I want to chase people.”

William could vaguely recall that he was fast in digging tunnels. That was because of his high Agility points.

How had he previously killed Burned Cinder, who had also been a Legendary?

That was right. It was only because of his Agility that he could catch up with Burned Cinder and hack at him until his soul was ripped out of his body.

At this instant, Burned Cinder instinctively glanced at William, who gave him a knowing look.

The two of them smiled at each other in a friendly manner.

Ahem!

Back to the topic at hand, William decided that after he reached Level 100, he would have to boost his Physical Strength!

Top-notch Grandmaster professionals had skills that could inflict a great deal of damage.

He would encounter a lot of genius professionals in the future, and not trashy Grandmasters like Bernard.

In particular, since he possessed the ‘Man of Steel’ defense endowment, he shouldn’t waste it. When the time comes, he would increase 100 Physical Strength points. After that, even the most stellar Grandmaster professional couldn’t inflict much damage on him.

The East Sea Metropolis battle had come to an end.

This battle indeed brought the existence of vampires to light.

However, at the same time, this angered the Emerald Grand Duchy and Lan Yu Grand Duchy. Suddenly, they cut down on a lot of business with the City of Dawn.

William didn’t care. The ‘Crimson Blood’ storyline mission didn’t mean much to him. He had already obtained the map from Bernard, even if it was a replica. Moreover, the last map was in William’s hands.

Even if the other forces assembled the rest of the maps, eventually, they would have to find William for the last map.

He only had to wait until the open beta of the game commenced. Then, he would just slowly reveal the truth behind the two ‘human’ Dukedoms.

As for now, the prince was going to completely take over the East Sea Metropolis and ensure that the City of Dawn would steadily develop.

Thereafter, he would clinch a top spot in the Magic Conference.

Oh right! The Magic Conference!

William looked at the equipment he was wearing. Other than his Legendary weapon and helmet, the rest of his equipment were of Epic quality.

“Obviously, this equipment is not good enough for my status.” William turned to glance in another direction.

He still had a lot of time.

It was time to find some Legendary equipment that existed in his previous life!
