Every move she made, every smile she gave, revealed her to be nothing more than a gentle young girl.
She was just a poor mother who had lost her daughter and had only recently been reunited with her.
“Yes, Ms. Hilliot.”
Alexei agreed to her request, and just as he finished speaking, a loud bang came from the direction of the factory.
Rumble, rumble——
...
About several tens of seconds later, Yin Shang and Ruo Keke's heart-wrenching screams came from inside.
"Uhhhhhh-"
"ah--"
...
Outside, the sun was shining brightly. Alexei, wearing a hood to shield himself from the sun, left the tent, jumped up to a high point, and looked out into the factory.
"I can't see anything... but something's definitely wrong!"
Alexei exclaimed in surprise.
"They are in danger, Commander!"
The officer who was also observing the situation asked, "What's your idea?"
Alexei said, "Order your soldiers to use all their weapons and equipment to bombard this factory with maximum firepower!"
He instantly adopted a very pragmatic expression: "But... our budget for this year is already a bit tight—"
Alexei turned to look at Hiliott, who nodded slightly.
He immediately shouted, "We vampires will pay for you! Get to work!"
Chapter 219 Promised Land
In an instant, artillery fire and gunfire erupted.
All lethal weapons were unleashed into the abandoned factory; initially, the massive, invisible barrier would continuously reflect bullets and explosives, but under the command of the peacekeeping commander, the relentless barrage of fire eventually pushed the mirror prison to its limit.
Space began to distort, gradually revealing its original form. An invisible mirror barrier, like a giant transparent cube, enveloped the entire factory area.
"Ms. Hilliot, please!"
Alexei stood outside the tent and spoke to her behind him.
The silver-haired girl nodded and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become Lingxi.
The blonde girl raised her hand and grasped, and [White Lily] appeared in her hand.
"Hmph, don't hang around in front of me anymore, I don't want to see you. Go on your way."
boom!
The "accelerated" bullet fired by Bai Baihe hit Alexei.
Swish——! !
The next instant, he shattered the dust beneath his feet, instantly creating a gust of wind.
Alexei darted through the line of fire like lightning, slipping through the narrow crack in the mirrored barrier.
Normally, the brain's reaction can hardly keep up with the greatly accelerated body; but Alexei himself was a highly trained special forces soldier, and this level of reaction was nothing to him, far from the limit of his reaction speed.
click-
Amidst the sound of shattering glass, Alexei burst into the factory compound and immediately saw the nearly collapsed building... and his companions inside, scorched by the sun and nearing their end.
hum-
Ignoring the fact that his blood energy would be greatly weakened under the scorching sun, Alexei forcibly activated the blood energy that had been suppressed by the sunlight—[Smoothbore Cannon].
"drink!"
He reduced the friction around himself, using the momentum to "push" half of his body into the soil beneath his feet...
Then, by reducing the friction of the ground beneath his feet, he launched himself into the air.
Boom——
A cloud of dust, obscuring the sky, was kicked up by Alexei, sweeping across the entire factory like a mini sandstorm.
Then, he raised his hand and clenched it, greatly increasing the friction of the flying dust—
Alexei could also control the friction between himself and the air.
The massive amount of dust fell for a moment under the influence of gravity, and then, under the action of the [smoothbore cannon], formed a solid semi-circular earthen dome, completely blocking out the deadly sunlight.
"Captain! Team Member Yin!"
Alexei rushed to their side, and the scene before him was truly shocking.
Under Solid's protection, Yin Shang only suffered minor burns, while Cocoa's body below the neck had been completely petrified by the scorching sun, leaving only her head intact.
"Yin Shang, you!"
Coco called out to Alexei, "Don't blame him! Well, only his abilities can completely remove the barrier, so it was I who asked Solid to protect him..."
Coco's voice was already very weak. She spoke in a barely audible voice.
"The mission to annihilate the [Chess Clan]... has failed. We are no match for him with our current strength. Now that we've rescued Lochina, let's... retreat..."
At Rokoko's behest, Alexei removed her head. Her completely petrified body then instantly turned to ashes.
“Team Leader Yin!” Alexei immediately exclaimed.
Yin Shang gritted his teeth: "Do you need to tell me!"
He raised his hand again and slashed horizontally, shattering the mirror barrier that was about to heal.
"Hiss... Let's go!"
Dizzy and disoriented, Yin Shang was carried away by Alexei and Solid, staggering as they escaped from this "purgatory".
...
...
...
Before leaving, the peacekeeping officer shook hands with each of the vampires in turn.
"We will handle the bodies of the Bloodhideans and the interior of the abandoned factory, and then, as agreed, we will publicly explain the matter to the media. You can rest assured that we have already passed the message to headquarters. Even if the corporation is incredibly audacious, Jones will not dare to make things difficult for our troops at this time. In other words, they cannot silence us for the time being."
pat!
The peacekeeping commander gave the group a solemn salute.
"I'm a rough guy who joined the army before even finishing elementary school, so when I do things, I only believe what I see in front of me."
"Although the Spire Group presents itself as a group of refined gentlemen who criticize vampires, what I witnessed firsthand was quite different—well-trained, composed vampires were harassed by a group of crazed blood-hateners, and an innocent little girl was kidnapped and tortured by a seemingly civilized scoundrel. The tactical skills displayed by these individuals were undoubtedly extremely high, which greatly changed my opinion of them, as well as that of all the peacekeeping soldiers present."
"Please convey my respects to your Queen."
...
...
Although Coco and her group failed to escape death, they at least successfully rescued Lochina and unintentionally left a good impression on the United Council.
Overall, it was a huge profit.
When Alexei returned to Ludwig with only one head left of Coco to report back, the vampire queen, who was having breakfast, nearly choked to death.
...
"Waaaaah, Coco! Only a head is left, waaaaah—how will she serve me now—"
...
"That's enough, Your Majesty. Your dignity is about to be completely tarnished."
Coco looked speechless.
"I am your family member. Quickly send someone to take me to the medical room. As long as there is a sufficient blood supply, it won't even take half a day for me to 'grow' a new body. If you dawdle any longer, I won't be able to make dinner for you tonight."
...
Alexei left with Ruo Keke's head in his arms. Then, Yin Shang, with Reinhard on his head, walked in with Ling Xi to report the situation to this... elegant and aloof vampire queen.
...
"Hehe, it's alright, it's good that Lochina is back."
After listening to the report, the vampire queen elegantly sipped the blood drink in her goblet.
"Yesterday, I, the Queen, issued an edict to strengthen the castle's security. If anything like this happens again, I will use them as fertilizer for the garden."
"The chess players... have gained unimaginable power and call themselves 'new humans'? Hmph."
...
Lingxi played with her hair, leaned against the chair, and reminded Ludwig.
"Little cutie, don't underestimate them. We've all suffered because of underestimating them countless times."
The silver-haired queen smiled slightly:
"I didn't underestimate it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to plan and execute such a massive project."
Lingxi leaned forward, looking quite interested.
"Oh? So Your Majesty, the wise Queen, had this plan all along?"
...
Ludwig nodded.
She stood up and looked out the window at the unchanging moonlight.
“From the day I became queen, I began preparing to take revenge on this unjust world and on the Spier Group.”
"Bringing the two queens back to this world was actually part of my plan long ago. It was only because of the sudden kidnapping of Lochina by the enemy that I had no choice but to hastily bring forward the plan to treat you..."
Lingxi smiled and said, "It's nothing. We are all very satisfied with our current state of being of one mind and body."
Upon hearing this, Ludwig smiled at her.
Ludwig had once been wary of Lingxi and had no affection for her, but now she could treat her with sincerity. She couldn't help but sigh at how unpredictable life could be.
...
"Now, only one last 'key item' is needed, and its completion will take place today."
Ludwig said.
"With it, our plan can begin. This plan will ensure the glory of the vampire clan lives on forever, bringing an end to our millennia-long suffering..."
Lingxi seemed to realize something. She widened her eyes, raised her head, and waited for Ludwig to finish speaking.
...
The silver-haired vampire queen spoke slowly.
"This massive project has no name."
Its sole purpose is to create a paradise for vampires—
"The eternally bright moon will hang high in the sky, and the tranquility of the eternal night will allow us to live in peace and prosperity."
"We will no longer live under someone else's roof, we will no longer suffer bullying..."
"We vampires will have our own kingdom in this cruel world."
Chapter 220 Declaration of War
Dr. Zhou, with disheveled hair and a full beard, walked out of the laboratory door that had been closed for a very long time.
He arrived at the throne room and solemnly presented the long-awaited research report to the Queen with both hands.
...
"This is the ingredient list for the [Blood of Energy] drink. It details the entire process of the experiments conducted using vampire magic and human medicine, the dangers revealed as a result, and the experimental records on mice."
