"So you finally called me, huh?"
"Sir Azriel,"
7 Vampires bowed respectfully as they glanced at Azriel who was walking toward them with a smile on his face.
To their greeting, Azriel just nodded and then he glanced at Ithania.
A smile appeared on Ithania's face as she questioned,
"Did you enjoy your little trip?"
"Enjoy my ass, I couldn't do anything at all."
"Of c'mon, creating bases and infiltrating enemies is fun, is it not?" Ithania questioned.
"Are you out of your mind or something?" Azriel questioned with an annoyed look on his face.
A playful smile appeared on Ithania's face as she chuckled.
A vein popped out on Azriel's forehead when he saw her acting like that.
"So, have all the vampires been sent to Teacher's mansion?" Azriel questioned.
"Yes, everyone left 2 days ago."
"Tsk Tsk, to think you will take 15 days for something like this, I guess being a Bookworm isn't that good after all." Azriel chuckled.
This time, Ithania was the one who was annoyed.
"Why don't you do it then!?"
"Oh yeah? And then what would you have done? Infiltrate the enemy village? Heh. Don't forget, with you Mana, you would need a week just to travel to the Dwarven Town. Also, how are you going to infiltrate their town? Acting like a human? Heehh?"
The more Azriel spoke, the more Ithania's face twitched.
However, she knew he was right, she didn't have the ability to do what he can.
And just thinking about it annoys her even more.
'Fucking monster. Just wait, wait and see how I will surpass you.'
Seeing her annoyed look, Azriel chuckled, however, then his gaze fell on the 7 vampires who were watching them and he decided to stop.
This was enough.
He will tease her later, not in front of these vampires.
"What about the war? What was the result?" He questioned.
A smile appeared on Ithania's face as she answered,
"My predictions were right, you were wrong, it was a draw."
"Huh? How did that happen? Aren't the Beastmen stronger than humans? They had 4 Master Stage Cultivators, and the human only had one Grand Master Stage Cultivator, how did they lose?"
Azriel frowned.
"Well, as I expected, there was 1 more Grand Master Stage Cultivator hiding among the humans and he was as strong as Warlok. The two of them worked together to fight against the 4 Master Stage Cultivators and their match resulted in a draw."
"Heh. To think those humans would need 2 Grand Master Stage Cultivators to deal with 4 Master Stage Cultivators and they still failed to win, as expected of the weakest race in Yrniel. I guess they are only good at playing tricks and backstabbing those who helped them." Azriel laughed disdainfully.
"…"
Ithania didn't say anything and stayed silent.
She knew Azriel pretty well, she knew that behind that disdainful smile, there was anger.
She wasn't any different either, after hearing everything that happened in the past, her hatred for all the other races in Yrniel increased as well.
She was just better at not showing it.
"Then what do you think? Will there be another war? Will the Beastmen come back with a Grand Master Stage Cultivator?" Azriel controlled his emotions and questioned.
Ithania immediately shook her head.
"The cause for this war was only a Village, practically speaking, except for that Advance Stage Lion Kin, the Beastmen haven't lost anything at all.
There is no way they would bring Grand Master Stage to the battlefield, the humans would simply reply with an Expert Stage Cultivator.
Things will never end if it goes on like this.
War needs a reason.
And the destruction of a mere Beastmen Village just isn't enough to prolong this war."
She was sure about it.
Actually, she never thought that Grand Master Stage Cultivators would be involved in this war. The scale of this war was already high enough, there is no way the two races will go farther.
"Then how do you think this game will end?"
"Negotiations.
The Humans and Beastmen leaders will meet each other and negotiate.
Most probably, the humans would give into the Beastmen's initial demand and would provide the heads of the people responsible for the destruction of Neko village."
"Huh? How are they going to do that? I already killed all of them." Azriel frowned.
Yes, after killing those 4 soldiers, Azriel waited for the humans to make their decision.
They had two options, either they go into the Town and report everything that happened to Viscount Baldor, if they did that, they would still be useful to Azriel and Ithania since they would flame the war.
However, the humans decided to choose another option.
They knew that no one is going to believe them if they said that they don't know how they appeared in the village. They realized that they might be used as a sacrifice to stop the war.
Therefore, to avoid that fate, they decided to run away.
Of course, that didn't help Azriel and Ithania at all and since the dogs had no use left, they were annihilated.
"We know who is responsible for it, the humans who are responsible for it, however, do the Beastmen know this?" Ithania smiled.
"So they are planning to sacrifice someone else?"
"Yes, the best part about humans is breeding, although losing a Master Stage Cultivator and other cultivators would affect them, it is certainly better than fighting this war.
Also, it's not like they have to sacrifice good soldiers, they can easily sacrifice the 'troublesome' ones and be done with it."
"What about the survivors? Didn't they see everything? Especially that little girl?"
"Are you talking about your niece?" Ithania questioned with a smile.
"Shut up." Azriel's eyes shined in annoyance.
Ithania chuckled and continued,
"The Humans aren't the only one who wants to end the war, Beastmen do as well.
They don't care about the attackers now.
The only thing they need is a reason to end this war.
I guess it will be something along these lines,
Humans would 'realize' that their men were in the wrong and they wrongfully attacked Beastmen Village, humans is a 'just' race, it didn't matter if they were of their own race or some other race, justice shall be served.
Therefore, in order to deal justice, they captured all those men who attacked the Beastmen's village and would give them to the Beastmen to do as they deem fit.
Of course, humans won't be the ones taking all the damage, they don't want other races to laugh at them.
This is the most likely scenario,
The Beastmen, who attacked innocent humans were in the wrong as well, therefore, they would need to pay some 'compensation' so that the humans can rebuild the destroyed towns and give a proper burial to their people."
Azriel nodded in understanding and again, he was impressed by Bookworm's capability.
She was smart.
He had to give her that.
"What are you looking at?" Ithania questioned as she glanced at Azriel looking at her with a strange look on his face.
"Nothing, I just feel like you are dumb."
Another vein popped on Ithania's forehead, she wanted to retort, however, there were more important things to do right now.
"Whatever, now that you are done asking, shall we move to the Dwarven village?"
Azriel nodded, his ring shined and the Flying Carpet appeared in front of him. He then turned around and glanced at the 7 vampires.
"Alright you guys, come here."
The 7 vampires nodded, Azriel then raised his hand and Blood formed in the air, then, it turned into a red coloured rope and circled around the 7 vampires.
Azriel and Ithania then sat on the carpet and the carpet flew into the air.
"Ugghhh… This won't be good…" Ferox, who was tied along with the other 6 vampires groaned.
"I agree with you." Tassia and the other vampires nodded as well.
"Lady Ithania has it easy. She can just sit alongside Sir Azriel." Another vampire complained.
"Just be as good as her, then you can sit with Sir Azriel as well,"
"Ugghhh…"
The vampires groaned as they hung in the air like some objects.
"Heh. Try not to throw up, you guys." Azriel glanced at the vampires and smile playfully.
Then, he injected his Mana into the Carpet and,
*Whoosh*
"Aaahhhhhh!!"
…
3 days later, Azriel and the others finally appeared in front of a Dwarven Town.
Actually, with the Flying Carpet's speed, they only needed 20 to 22 hours to reach here, however, as mentioned before, due to high Mana consumption, Azriel needed to rest again and again in between the journey and the whole journey needed 3 days.
Of course, these 3 days were like hell for other vampires.
Being pulled by a flying carpet at a very high speed wasn't fun at all.
Even someone like Ferox was silent this whole journey.
Yes, even he didn't have any energy left, he was mentally exhausted.
"So? Where are the bases?" Ithania, who was obviously better than other vampires, questioned.
"I have made five bases, each of them is 100 km away from each other, Valerian and the other 4 Vampires are at each base and we have gathered around 50 vampires in total."
"50 huh… that's higher than I expected,"
"Well, we would have gathered more but the war hasn't started yet."
"What about the war preparation?"
A big smile appeared on Azriel's face as he answered.
"Well, I have prepared everything,
The only thing left is to start the War."
