YM778.TV Chapter 52 Merciless Attacks
On the western part of Rivalle. Dracula was busy with the assignment that Floid gave to him. Dracula was able to amass a large army of a thousand demons and vampires to come with him on the invasions that Floid told him to do! They moved from town to town every night and they would kill and pillage all of the people there! The vampires were ruthless with their killing and none of the humans in any of the towns or villages they took would be left alive! As the demons were going from town to town, they would get rid of all the humans there before some of them would occupy that town themselves!
There were more than a hundred towns on the western part of Rivalle, although none of them were as large as Hampshire or Noir. The demons would come in very large numbers to attack these towns and none of the venturers there would very be able to do anything about it! Floid already destroyed all of the protections that the humans had and there were no soldiers left on this side of the world to help the remaining towns.
To the humans, this situation was even worse than when the demon queen was in charge! When the demon queen was in charge she wouldn\'t send out her army in large numbers to fight villages, instead, she would only try to capture the larger towns and kingdoms. That is one of the reasons why it was so easy for the hero to fight her. The hero knew that she would only send her army to a large town, and since the number of large towns was few, he was able to prepare for her attack and properly defend the town!
But this army is not only going to large towns! They are also going to small villages and they are killing everyone there! None of the people could even guess which town would be next so the best they could do was try to run while hoping they done accidentally run into any demons! Floid had no love or empathy for the enemies and he was always thorough in his tasks. If he is taking over Rivalle, then he will take over all of it
The kingdoms of Uta and Aquinas have been trying to send messages to Noir for a week now and they had to accept that Noir was lost after they didn\'t get a message back at all. Pricilla was very worried about this. She already lost one of her SS-class knights and now she has also lost the western part of Rivalle! This is bad! The people will start to revolt very soon if they learn about what happened! There wasn\'t much that Pricilla could do about the western part of Rivalle. If she wanted to go and protect them then she will need to send out a lot of knights and spread them out to every village in that area so that no matter which ones the demons attack they will be able to fo fight them. But there were two problems with that idea.
The first one was that the demons were only attacking at night and that means that vampires are a part of the demon army. No one below an S-class can handle a vampire at night! They are very strong! That means she is going to have to send out all of her S-class knights to fight in a battle that she is not sure she will win. That is a stupid strategy and she doesn\'t want to lose her knights just because of some small villages.
The second issue was the issue of her own protection. Imagine if she sends out the knights and then Uta is attacked! Who will protect her!? She can\'t just send out all of her army to protect some villagers and leave herself defenseless! That will be stupid! She is the most important person in the world!
The best thing is to allow the western side to face this on their own. I\'m sure they\'ll find a way to survive... Maybe.
I need to start thinking of ways to deal with this new demon lord. Pricilla didn\'t know for sure if it was Floid that was the demon lord and she didn\'t care. She only knew that the demon lord has now killed two heroes. It was obvious that he was coming for all the heros! She has to find a way to deal with him before he tried to kill her too! Freya is already useless and she even refused the warning I tried to give her. I can\'t use her anymore so I have to try something else. Should I call back all the knights that live outside the kingdom? It will be expensive to call back the SS-class knights but they are the only option that I have. Yes, I\'ll even call back that monster, Heracule. Heracule is an SSS-class knight. It was said that he even fought against a dragon once and he won! If he is here too then everything will be fine.
.......
Floid groaned the next morning as he woke up. He felt a weight on his chest and he turned to see Andromeda sleeping on top of him. She had her tail wrapped around his body as she slept with a smile on her face. Floid easily moved the tail before he stood up from the bed. Andromeda hummed and buried herself deeper inside his blanket. Floid just let her sleep as he took his bath. Alucard was standing outside his door when he walked out and the butler bowed low in respect before the two of them began to walk together. Floid was looking around as he walked and he noticed that the castle was becoming more occupied as time went on. Three new demon maids greeted Floid. They were hired by Rosavellt to also help out with the chores. Floid gave them a nod and the maids blushed intensely once he walked away! The demon lord nodded at them!
"How is the subjugation mission going? I hope your son isn\'t slacking off with the demon army that I gave him,"
Floid asked Alucard and Alucard immediately answered! Floid could even sense a bit of pride in the man\'s voice, but it was so little that it might as well be nonexistent.
"Dracula has taken over fifteen of the towns in the western part of Rivalle over the past two weeks. He is moving swiftly and he says that it shouldn\'t be too long before he cleans out the entire area. He delegates the army to attack during the night. Humans have low night vision and they cannot defend against us properly either since our agility is better at night. It shouldn\'t take more than two months before he is finished with it all! So he will be ready before the attack on Aquinas commences."
Floid nodded with a small yawn. He was still tired from yesterday. Alucard took out a file from his spatial space and Floid put his hand back and collected it from his butler. He read through it and saw the situation reports that Dracula has been sending to Alucard for the past two weeks. The mission was indeed going well and it wouldn\'t take more than two months at this rate for them to completely take over this part of Rivalle.
Floid handed the file back and told Alucard to inform him if there are any developments. He didn\'t want anything to interfere with their plans to attack Aquinas. Alucard immediately nodded to show he understood.
The two of them continued walking until they reached a corridor. Pyra and Lilith were at the other end and Lilith was frowning at Pyra as she spoke.
"I said I\'ll do it. You don\'t need to stress yourself with things like this,"
Pyra was holding a vase in her hand and she also had a frown on her face as Lillith tried to take it away from her. She knew that Lilith wasn\'t looking out for her health at all! Lilith just thought that Pyra would break the vase!
"I\'ll do it. You think I\'ll break it, don\'t you. The demon lord said I can do this much if I\'m careful so you don\'t have to worry!"
Pyra was about to turn and walk away. Liliths eyes widened as she saw the demon lord standing behind Pyra! Once Pyra turned, she also saw the demon lord, and the shock she felt made the vase slip from her hands! Dammit! The vase!
