Chapter 895 - Calling for Reinforcements

Chapter 895: Calling for Reinforcements

In the cave, those from the Elders Council had long been waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Maica and the others arrive, the vampires immediately carried the dying Duke Zhao Tai away. They lifted him and threw him into the blood pool that they had prepared in advance.

Duke Zhao Tai was submerged in the blood pool.

“Start the ritual!” The vampire elders sat in front of the main ceremony and focused as they murmured chants.

Together with the dozen or so vampires around them, the central ritual began.

“Gulp, gulp,” A series of bubbles emerged from the blood pool.

Under the infusion of the blood, the Vampire King’s heart gradually began to stabilize.

Finally, the matter was settled before the mutation!

Maica finally felt relieved, then he felt an endless sense of fatigue.

He turned to another elder and asked, “Right, why don’t I see his Excellency the Duke?”

“You’re one step too late. King’s right leg has been completely unsealed. More than twenty minutes ago, his Excellency the Duke personally escorted the “sacrifice” back to the Land of Origin.”

As the main teams of the Federation’s operations department had been attracted by the vampire Princes who were attacking the cities head-on, the ritual area was quite lucky and had not been noticed by the Federation.

As such, they successfully removed the seal on King’s body, and the Duke immediately returned to the Land of Origin with the offerings.

to Maica, this was the only good news he got since coming into the real world.

The vampires did not have much hope in collecting all the remains of the Vampire King, in the first place, but the chaotic situation before them was indeed beyond their expectations.

Humans were really a group of diverse creatures.

There were too many who liked to fish in troubled waters.

Maica was already exhausted after fighting for so long. He leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes to recover.

About ten minutes later, a vampire elder walked up to Maica and said in a deep voice, “Lord Marquis, the “offering”‘s condition has gradually stabilized. However, the blood supply here is in short supply. For safety reasons, we suggest it be sent back to the Land of Origin immediately.

“Hmm…” Maica hesitated.

According to his plan with Old Black and Fang Heng, they would meet here and wait for the offering’s condition to stabilize before thinking of a way to escort the body of the Vampire King away together.

Currently, Old Black and Fang Heng seemed to be in some trouble, so they hadn’t shown up yet.

Old Black’s mercenaries were split into two groups. Two of them drove the bus to send Old Black and Fang Heng to the teleportation point, while the other two followed Maica to the cave here.

Along the way, the mercenaries had been checking on Old Black’s status through the phone signal. He nodded, “Old Black is on his way back. Please wait for a moment, they’ll be here soon.”

Maica stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave. He raised his binoculars and looked down.

Two vampire Dukes were leading vampires to fight against the humans who were trying to ascend Xianwu Mountain.

In addition, there were many humans hidden in the dense forest below.

It was obvious that these people had come to seize the Vampire King’s remains, and they weren’t even from the same group!

“Maica, we have to make a decision immediately,” The elder suggested, “There’s not much blood left, and the ritual can’t last long. It can only guarantee the safety of King’s heart for a while. If we delay any longer, I’m afraid things will go wrong.”

“Yes.”

He can’t wait any longer! If he did, the humans would catch up.

“Alright,” Maica nodded, “Activate the teleportation array and we’ll leave.”

The elder was silent for a moment and did not move.

“What’s wrong?”

“Maica, the teleportation passage is no longer working.”

“This…” Maica came to a sudden realization and slapped his forehead.

Damn it! He had forgotten about this!

The teleportation channel of the vampires was special. It operated with nodes.

Once the main node was destroyed, the teleportation passage below the main node would also lose its function.

In this battle, the vampire had set up three main nodes and a backup main node to prevent the Federation from finding one branch node and thus destroying all the teleportation channels at once.

Each main node corresponded to three second-tier branch nodes, and there were many third-tier branch nodes below the second-tier branch nodes.

The design was very elaborate with each second-tier branch node corresponding to the position of the Vampire King’s body parts.

However, Rio’s self-destruction had blown up one of the main nodes, and the related teleportation array’s branch nodes thus completely lost their function.

The vampire elder was helpless.

Originally, after the seal had been lifted, the Duke had wanted to leave with the King’s broken body first. The vampires left at the sealing point had already started packing up and leaving, ready to withdraw and support other sealing points.

They had never expected that they would suddenly discover a problem with the teleportation passage when they were halfway through their retreat.

After thinking about it for a while, they realized that there was a problem with the main node, so they were ready to just forcefully teleport.

But just as they left Xianwu Mountain, they happened to run into the vampires that Maica had sent to ask for help.

Thus, the vampires quickly discussed and hurriedly returned to the sealed node to reboot the ritual.

Going back and forth was also very torturous.

“Where’s the nearest teleportation point that can be used?” Maica asked.

“BE81 point, 100 kilometers away.”

What? More than a hundred kilometers away?

Didn’t this mean that he would have to be chased by those crazy humans for another 100 kilometers?

Then he might as well do it all himself and run straight to the Land of Origin!

Maica was still thinking about it in frustration when the vampire Marquis, Fant, flew in.

He was slightly injured.

Fant looked at Maica and the elder, then asked, “Is it done?”

“Almost. We were just discussing how to evacuate.”

hearing this, Fant frowned and said, “There are more and more humans gathering outside. It’s hard to avoid them and leave with the offering.”

“Then forget it, we’ll hold this place and wait for reinforcements,” Maica made the decision.

In this situation, they could only wait for reinforcements.

Old Black! Nate!

Now that he thought about it, Maica felt that Old Black and Nat had good foresight. They didn’t choose to run with him from the beginning but instead decided to split up and go to the Land of Origin to find Mr. Jian.

The two of them must have run to Mr. Jian for help!

Wait! The best solution now was to wait until Nate’s reinforcements arrived and save them!

Maica spoke with conviction, “We have reinforcements too. They will come back to save us.”

Then, Maica looked at Old Black’s men and asked, “Yeah?”

The mercenary was a little confused.

Reinforcements?

He didn’t know either, since his connection with Old Black would break sometimes!

However, if he shook his head now, the vampires would most likely run.

At that time, his hiring fee would be greatly reduced.

As such, the mercenary quickly nodded, “Yes, we have reinforcements.”

The vampires looked at each other and exchanged glances.

“Very well. We’ll continue to hold them back and not let them climb up the rock wall. Let’s buy time for the reinforcements.”
