Salute To The General

Chapter 3126



As Herod raised both his hands, silence descended upon the crowd.

He declared, "And now, I'll officially announce the kill order. Anyone, be it vampires, werewolves, or any other member of dark clans, whoever kills Nathan will be rewarded with a drop of my dark blood essence."

Dark blood essence!

Lux and everyone else's eyes glistened in response.

Dark blood essence was the blood essence belonging to the vampire elite that contained tremendous amounts of energy. Any dark clan warrior who ingested it would experience an exponential increase in strength.

As a result, the blood essence of someone as powerful as Herod was highly coveted among members of the dark clans.

That was the reason the burning desire within the vampires was ignited.

When he saw the ambitious looks on their faces, Herod smiled in satisfaction. "Whoever kills Nathan can come and claim the reward from me. Now, off you go."

"Understood!"

With that, the vampires began to leave in an orderly manner in accordance with their ranks.

Soon, the only ones left in the hall were Herod, Lyanna, and a group of bodyguards.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Just as Herod was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that someone else had remained-Max.

Stopping in his tracks, he asked curiously, "Is there something else?"

Max replied, "Patriarch Herod, there's something I would like to report to you in private."

"We'll speak in my study."

Inside Herod's study, Lyanna served both of them a glass of fresh blood before leaving the room.

After that, Herod held up his glass and gestured for Max to do the same.

Surprised by the respect the former showed, Max quickly raised his glass and took a quick sip.

Herod then asked flatly, "Tell me, what is it?"

Max related to Herod, "Prior to this, didn't you order me to gather human scientists to research the most effective way of propagating ancestral blood? They have finally produced some results."

While speaking, a vial seemed to magically appear in his hand.

Intrigued by the development, Herod asked, "What is this?"

"Ancestral Blood No. 1. As long as we inject it into a vampire, that vampire is capable of turning whoever they bite into a bondslave."

His words caused Herod's eyes to light up. "Really?"

All this while, a vampire had to lose their own ancestral blood if they wanted to turn a human into a bondslave.

However, a vampire's ancestral blood was a limited resource. Just like a venomous snake, a vampire needed to wait a long time for it to recover after every use.

That was the biggest reason why vampires couldn't be created at scale.

Therefore, with every injection of Ancestral Blood No. 1, vampires could turn another human into one of them. This allowed them to remove the bottleneck that was hindering the propagation of their race.

Max added, “Even though the scientists at the lab have tested it and confirmed that it would work well on ordinary humans, it will stil not turn those who have a strong constitution and willpower into bondslaves. In other words, the stronger the human, the more difficult it is to convert them.

"It might not have problems converting the general populace, but it will not work on the cardinals of the Curiaz powerful members of the military, and humans at the peak of their powers such as Nathan. Even an ordinary soldier who can put up strong resistance will be hard to convert."

Herod responded, "Looks like it can only work on the most ordinary and weakest of humans. That said, the results are still impressive, as strong humans make up a negligible portion of the human race anyway."

Max flashed a grin. "In that case, should we now inject all the vampires with Ancestral Blood No. 1 so that they can begin their attack and expand our army of vampires?"

At the end of the day, Herod was a cunning old fox.

He was still concerned with the potential problems Ancestral Blood No. 1 might have. If something were to go wrong, their plan would not only backfire but all the vampires might also be captured in one fell swoop.

Hence, he disagreed, "There's no hurry. We'll first try it on the ordinary vampires first. We'll only expand the scope once we receive satisfactory results."

Max concurred, "Understood! Soon, Patriarch Herod, vampire numbers will increase by the millions. It's just a matter of time before we rise again." Herod broke into a gleeful smile. "Good. Once the vampires have reclaimed their former glory, you'll be second only to me in this new empire." Max replied gratefully, "Thank you, Patriarch Herod. I will do my best not to let you down."
