Chapter 723 Tenacious Will
Back in the Holy Knight Empire, Eniwse was prepared to leave after selecting her candidates for recruitment when Astoria suddenly received news of the Great Ratholos Empire's situation from Chaezi.
After Astoria relayed the news, Eniwse decisively dropped her original plans and decided to join the reinforcement army with Astoria.
In the Black Rose Kingdom, Henrietta soon finished mobilizing half of Blackthorn City's military force. She awaited word from the Red Dragon Clan to assist their deployment while Victoria recalled her search teams, intending to bring them into the upcoming battle.
Nevertheless, whether it was the Holy Knight Empire or the Black Rose Kingdom, their large-scale mobilization of troops quickly alerted the spies hidden within their countries.
Before long, even the neighboring countries were alarmed by their movements, prompting them to mobilize their own forces to guard against the potential invasion.
The Scarlet Flame Kingdom deployed five hundred thousand battle witches to the eastern borders.
On the other hand, the Divine League concentrated the forces of its twelve city-states in its northernmost territory, the Divine Sword City. Despite the short notice, it gathered a two-million-strong army to defend its borders.
However, their fears were unfounded.
The Divine League soon received words from their spies that the Holy Knight Empire's army had suddenly disappeared into thin air. Similar news from the spies in the Black Rose Kingdom was relayed to the Scarlet Flame Kingdom.
This buffer period of confusion gave the Divine League and the Scarlet Flame Kingdom a chance to consider their neighbors' real intentions.
If their neighboring countries were truly planning to launch sudden invasions on them, they would not have gathered their armies in their capital cities.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
However, if those armies weren't mobilized for war against them, then what were they mobilized for?
More importantly, where did they go?
These questions prompted the Scarlet Flame Kingdom and the Divine League to investigate the matter seriously. The unknown gave birth to fear and unease. Thus, they had to know the reason.
Knowing nothing made them feel vulnerable.
During the vampire outbreak in the Great Ratholos Empire, the Black Rose Kingdom and the Holy Knight Empire were the first countries to learn about it despite being the most isolated from the Great Ratholos Empire.
Actually, Kazamir wasn't sure if Great Devil Abaddon was coming. However, he could sense many vampires emerging from the crimson light domain.
"Kekeke, our main vampire army is here," Kazamir rejoiced.
In fact, Kazamir wasted so much time on Emperor Varan because he didn't dare go anywhere else—at least not after seeing Vaan kill a high-ranking vampire with a single touch.
As such, Kazamir could only use Emperor Varan to bide his time until reinforcements arrived. Now that they did, he didn't need to play with Emperor Varan any further.
Peng!
Kazamir stopped pulling his punches and suddenly used more force, sending Emperor Varan smashing into the ground with a strong smack.
Given Emperor Varan's weakened state, the strong smack almost robbed his life. However, he persistently clung to life.
"Hmm..." Kazamir glanced at Emperor Varan thoughtfully before saying, "Alas, we did fight for so long, after all. Maybe I have grown attached, but it does seem like a pity to kill you now."
"I guess I'll let you live a bit longer to witness the fate of your empire, Human Emperor," Kazamir said magnanimously with a cruel smile.
Just as Kazamir turned to leave, he felt his ankle grabbed by Emperor Varan's dirty and bloody hands.
"Let go of your filthy hands, Human! I said, let go! Let go! Do you hear me?!" Kazamir said with disgust, stomping down on Emperor Varan's hands with his spare leg.
However, no matter how many times he stepped on Emperor Varan, the latter refused to let go, even when his hands turned into mangled flesh.
"Our fight isn't... over!" Emperor Varan spat with determination.
Kazamir was suddenly shocked by Emperor Varan's tenacity and strength.
"How could you still have this much strength? Where is this strength coming from?!" Kazamir exclaimed with disbelief, finding it unreal to see a half-dead human burst with greater strength than before.
At the same time, he could hear Emperor Varan's heartbeat becoming louder and more powerful!
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
