Chapter 827 New Sentinels of the Order in the Kenyth Empire?
Vicente and his group would spend the next week in the ancient capital of the Kenyth Empire.",
Given the rapid decay rate of vampire blood, the group needed to absorb the hundreds of liters of blood from Vicente's victims immediately. Otherwise, this precious resource would be wasted.
However, absorbing vampire blood was not like drinking water. One had to meditate for at least a few days to fully absorb a few tens of milliliters of blood.
To ensure the group's safety, Vicente stayed behind in the capital with the survivors held hostage by the monsters.
Since he wouldn't benefit from drinking the blood, since his victims were much weaker than him, he spent the days working around the city, gathering resources and helping to establish a security perimeter in the area.
He took advantage of the many mineral resources in the area, as well as the high-quality magical artifacts the vampires had ordered their slaves to make, to create armor and firearms.
When the first humans who had consumed vampire blood began to awaken from their comas, the city was already completely different from days before!
...
When Julian opened his eyes after seven days of hard cultivation, a smile appeared on his lips while he couldn't help but feel incredible, full of strength and the will to fight.
He looked down at his hands and clenched his fists, hardly believing how much he had benefited from absorbing just a few hundred milliliters of 4th stage vampire blood.
'I am on the threshold between Low-level and Mid-level,' he thought to himself, feeling how close he had come to advancing to the middle of the 5th stage.
Before, he would have needed years of hard cultivation to get there, but now that possibility was within his grasp for the next few months of cultivation!
He looked in Vicente's direction, searching for his son's young friend. However, before he found the young Fuller, he noticed the differences in the group he had brought from Redvein.
His party consisted essentially of 38 Sky Sovereigns and another Low-level Paragon like himself.
Vicente was observing the surroundings of this city, where the 5th stage monsters he had enslaved were in defensive positions.
"You're done meditating, huh?" Vicente said without looking back to notice Julian's arrival where he was standing.
Julian's smile widened as he bent his knees and expressed his gratitude to Vicente. "Thank you for the chance. I'd like to join the Sentinels of the Order from now on."
"Hmm." Minos threw down a symbol he had developed for the Sentinels of the Order, causing the metallic object to integrate into Julian's armor.
"From now on, you are the leader of the Sentinels of the Order in the Kenyth Empire. Your first mission as leader will be to escort this group of survivors to Redvein. I won't go with you, but I'll leave half of my monsters with you for the journey."
"Where are you going, Venerable?"
"The Chutha Dynasty. With the fall of the vampire group that lived here before, other similar groups must already be moving to avoid me or even counterattack.
Therefore, this is not the time for me to linger in the empire's cities or act slowly. I must quickly settle my affairs in the Chutha Dynasty and return home. From now on, the disaster will get a few degrees worse."
Julian clenched his fists as he looked at Vicente, imagining this really had to be the case.
The slaughter of a few days ago would not go unnoticed. With so many people dead and so many others fleeing, something was bound to happen, even if it wasn't a direct attack.
It would be more dangerous to do something in the short term, so everyone had to act quickly while it was still early.
"Got it. I wish you luck on your journey. I'll take this group to Redvein and wait for further orders."
Vicente nodded as he got up from where he was and looked at the still ruined place for a few moments while he sighed.
"Good luck on your journey. I hope my actions on this trip will help to contain the monsters a bit more, but be careful. Some numbers are sure to get worse."
With those words, he took off, flying west towards the Chutha Dynasty.
