At the vampire headquarters, the vampires were holding a grand feast of blood as they celebrated their recent great victory. Herod sat on the throne, holding a crystal wineglass filled with fresh blood in his hand. As he gently swirled his wineglass, he casually asked, “After the human alliance's defeat, what's their current response?” Numerous vampire nobles instantly quieted down upon hearing Herod's voice. The remaining seven Princes of the Bloodline looked at each other. They were all immersed in the joy of victory, and no one really paid attention to the latest actions of humans. Seeing this, Herod's face darkened, and he said unhappily, “What's the matter? Has a small victory made you so arrogant that you don't even pay attention to the enemy's movements? Do you really think you've already won, to the point where you don't even bother paying attention to your enemies?”
After saying that, he glared at the seven vampire princes before him. “Now, can any of you tell me about the humans' recent activities?”
In the end, Max, one of the seven princes, stepped forward. In the great battle atop the peak of God's Palm, Max was the only one of the four princes who managed to escape. However, he always managed to escape after suffering numerous defeats. Because of this, the powerful elite vampires secretly gave him a nickname called Runaway Max.
At that moment, Max had utterly lost his former sharpness, looking like a deeply frustrated loser. It was probably because Nathan had beaten him so severely that he developed a psychological trauma, and he would likely live the rest of his life fearing for Nathan. Max said softly, “Patriarch Herod, Wolfric and the others were in a sorry state after you defeated them, and they retreated for two hundred miles. I heard Wolfric can no longer control the situation, and even the human alliance no longer respects him. He was in quite a predicament and had already sent someone to ask Nathan, who was recuperating in the hospital, for help.”
“According to the latest information I've received, Nathan will soon arrive on the battlefield to face you, Patriarch Herod. Upon hearing Max's words, Herod's expression relaxed slightly. “It seems there are still people who remain clear-headed and do not forget to pay attention to the enemy's movements even after achieving victory.”
After saying that, he looked coldly at the remaining six vampire princes.
