Chapter 175, Chapters 266-267: Based on you… are you worthy?
“Useless child, you can’t kill me like this…”
Even though his head had been chopped off, Dracula would not die from this.
Looking at the smug Salus in front of him, he sighed with some disappointment.
“No, it should be said that no one in this world can kill me, including myself!”
To be precise, with the blessing of the [Undying Trait], Dracula could be “killed, but not destroyed”.
Even if his body was burned to ashes, he could still recover as before after a certain period of time.
However, Salus was well aware of this, so he did not continue to destroy Dracula's corpse.
In the state of being separated from his body, Dracula would need a long time to be starved to death due to “blood loss”.
This time was enough for Salus and Lilith to complete their respective plans.
“You’re right, I really can’t.”
Salus revealed an evil smile on his face, mocking fearlessly: “But someone can… friendly reminder, it’s someone you know!”
“Child, I hope you succeed.” Dracula didn't say anything more, slowly closed his eyes, and put on a posture of being slaughtered.
Salus didn't pay too much attention, directly raised Dracula's head high, and roared at the people in front of the round table:
“The era belonging to this old guy is over, from now on, I am the new [Vampire Lord]!”
Because from the sneak attack to the beheading, it only took a few seconds.
Many people in front of the round table had not yet recovered from this sudden scene.
It wasn't until this time that they were “awakened” by Salus's roar!
“You… you dare to attack the Vampire King?”
“Bastard, hurry up and put the Vampire King's head back on!”
“Salus, you are insubordinate, even if you are a prince, you will still be executed!”
More than a dozen leaders of the cult loyal to Dracula angrily denounced Salus's evil deeds, while trying to rush over to rescue Dracula.
But then they were stopped by the cult leaders who supported Salus.
The other side had an absolute advantage in number, at least about thirty people.
After seeing Salus's successful sneak attack, these traitors all gathered around him with joy at the first moment to protect him.
In front of the huge round table, only 5 neutral parties, including Selena, were left, sitting in their seats and quietly watching the development of the situation.
Without exception, all five of these people were newly promoted cult leaders this year.
Selena listened to Carl's instructions, neither taking sides nor intervening, watching the infighting and waiting for the opportunity.
The other 4 newcomers didn't know much about Dracula and Salus, let alone loyalty.
Naturally, they would not casually participate in this coup!
Whoosh—
The sound of confrontation between the two forces in the room quickly attracted a large number of guards.
They rushed into the hall, raised their guns and aimed at the crowd… accurately speaking, at the dozen or so loyalists.
However.
The loyalists, who were completely unaware, saw the guards coming and thought they had regained control of the situation, and they all began to persuade Salus.
“Your Highness, the guards are here now, your plan is destined to end in failure… If you stop now, I believe the Vampire King will spare your life out of father-son affection.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old butler Alfred walked in from outside the hall.
Then he walked past everyone, came straight to Salus, and bowed slightly, “Congratulations, Your Highness… no, Vampire King!”
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a？？？
Damn?
Old man, you actually betrayed at this time?
Now the loyalist leaders were completely honest, drooping their heads one by one, and falling weakly back into their chairs.
Because it was easy to guess who the guns of the guards behind them were pointing at!
How many heads do they have to dare to continue to resist?
Don't want to live?
“My God, Boss really guessed it, the inside agent is indeed him.”
When Selena saw the scene in front of her, her admiration for Carl was beyond words.
He truly deserves to be the Boss, he is too amazing, isn't he?
Just by listening to my description of the scene, he directly deduced the next situation.
Simply YYDS!
After her mind calmed down a little, Selena quickly figured out the reason.
Under normal circumstances.
Even if Salus had the courage to attack Dracula at the [Centennial Conference].
But facing the heavily guarded guards in the [Impossible City], I'm afraid he wouldn't have the life to send the head out.
Unless someone inside cooperated with him!
This requires the person who cooperates with Salus to have a high enough status and position, and at the same time not arouse Dracula's suspicion when acting in secret.
In this case, looking at the entire [Impossible City], it seems that only the old butler Alfred, who is second only to one person and above ten thousand, is the most suitable.
“Hurry up and send it to the altar.”
Salus handed the head in his hand to Alfred, who took it and pretended to be sad, and said to Dracula, who still had his eyes closed:
“Vampire King, let this old servant see you off for the last time!”
While speaking, he walked out of the hall with the head in his hands, his steps light.
After Salus ordered his men to move Dracula's headless body away, he finally sat on the [Lord's Seat] symbolizing power as he wished!
Perhaps out of a desire to show off, or deliberately display his bloodline and strength in front of everyone.
His broad back leaned heavily on the sharp silver long sword on the back of the chair without fear.
A look of contentment appeared on his face, and he fearlessly scanned the people in front of the round table… especially those loyalists who looked like they had lost their parents, and Selena, who had been watching coldly!
“Very good, it seems that everyone has reached a new consensus…”
“But you don’t have to be too nervous, as long as you are willing to guarantee to me that you will be as loyal to me as you were to my father, then I will forget what happened just now.”
Salus naturally didn't think that he could easily persuade those loyalists to surrender with just a few words of comfort, but fortunately he was prepared for this.
Then, he suddenly changed the subject, and continued with burning eyes:
“I know that during the millennium of my father’s reign, his will was the absolute and unquestionable law for all vampires, and you have long been accustomed to following orders…”
“And the ‘peace’ between vampires and humans has been maintained for so long because you have all obeyed the ‘truce treaty’ he signed himself!”
“But in my opinion, this is an extremely cowardly treaty, even at the expense of the interests of vampires,
It is an unequal treaty obtained through servility.”
“Once, we clearly had the opportunity to enslave all human beings and become the masters of this world, but my father chose to lead us to another path because of his own cowardice… a path that gradually leads to decline!”
“We should not be treated so unfairly, we must not let those humble ‘food’ jump on our heads to shit and piss, and act like tyrants!!”
“Therefore, as the sole heir to the bloodline of the [Dracula Clan], I have to stand up and overthrow my father’s pedantic rule at the critical moment concerning the survival of all vampires, and lead the vampires to prosperity again!”
These highly煽动性 words did hit the nail on the head, causing many loyalist leaders to nod in agreement.
Salus was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately seized the opportunity to continue:
“Perhaps you don’t know, at the same time as the [Centennial Conference] began, my people have officially declared war on humans in seven cities!”
“But this is just the beginning… When humans try to fight back and concentrate all their attention on those seven cities, a larger-scale war will officially begin.”
“At that time, a large number of humans in the United States will be temporarily transformed into vampire dependents, and they will fight, tear, and even die together with purebloods and humans!”
“I can guarantee to all of you that it won’t be long before the entire United States will completely become the territory of our vampires, and the humans on this land will all become our rations.”
The latest novel is available at six_9_book_bar!
“At that time, I will rebuild the pastures and slaughterhouses for raising humans, so that pureblood elders can drink a delicious cup of virgin blood every day when they wake up… and eventually lead the vampires to conquer the entire world!!”
“But if you want to achieve the above goals, you will inevitably need everyone’s strong support.”
Seeing that the time was ripe, Salus raised his arms and shouted, “In order to better resist the large-scale counterattack that humans may launch, as the new vampire lord, I propose…
Temporarily merge all the different vampire cults in the United States to form a vampire empire with unified government orders, using unified symbols and beliefs to facilitate management.
And select the most elite vampire warriors from various cults to form an indestructible army…”
“What?”
Those loyalist leaders who were still immersed in the empathetic atmosphere just now suddenly realized.
Isn't this clearly trying to架空 the power in our hands and then吞并 our cults?
Bastard, you just said it so emotionally.
I almost believed you!
“I object!”
A loyalist leader with deep blue skin and wearing retro military uniform stood up indignantly and accused: “Our [Lutheran Cult] has its own devout beliefs, and this will not change in the past, present, or future… bang!!”
However.
Before he could finish speaking, his head was blown off by a guard firing from behind.
The corpse spattered with blood swayed and fell to the ground, and soon a pool of blood gathered on the floor.
“Sorry, those who object have no future.”
Salus grinned and showed a smug grin, leaned his body slightly forward, and sharply scanned the faces of the people opposite him one by one, “My words are over… who agrees, who opposes?”
Is there even a need to ask?
Of course... unconditionally choose to agree!
Can you please ask the guards behind you to put down their guns first?
Nothing else, I'm afraid they'll accidentally misfire later!
“Very good.”
Seeing that those loyalists finally “sincerely” expressed their submission to him, Salus couldn’t be more proud, and the situation was developing step by step in the direction he expected.
And when all the cults are officially merged together to form a new vampire empire, it will mean that he will surpass his father and become the true “Vampire King” in the sense of the word!!
This is the supreme glory that Salus has been dreaming of!
“Miss Selena, you seem to owe me a reasonable explanation?”
After completely solving the problem of the loyalists, Salus locked his eyes on Selena, who had been silent on the opposite side.
The four cult leaders who had previously chosen to remain neutral with Selena chose to compromise very decisively after seeing the leader of the [Lutheran Cult] being headshot.
In their opinion, “if you can't beat them, join them” is not embarrassing!
So now, Selena is the only one left at the entire round table who has not given an accurate answer.
“But I suddenly changed my mind.”
Salus said with a lewd smile on his face: “I just happen to be missing a queen by my side who can follow me to conquer the world.”
“If you are willing, then I can pretend that the destruction of the [Blood God Cult] never happened.”
“How is it… is this condition good enough?”
In fact, Salus doesn't lack women to accompany him.
He even has at least two or three female vampires accompanying him every night.
But he is only missing a “day walker” like Selena who can walk in the sun with him.
What's more, Selena has beauty, brains, and martial power… and her potential is unmatched by other female vampires.
This undoubtedly aroused Salus's strong male desire to conquer in his blood.
In his opinion, only a perfect female vampire like this is worthy of his identity as the “Vampire King”!
As for human women who can also walk in the sun, they have always been classified as “food” in his eyes and are not considered at all.
Faced with such a naked threat, almost everyone turned their attention to Selena.
Some were malicious, some were gloating, and some felt sorry but didn't dare to show it at all…
They all wanted to see how this notorious [Moon Goddess] would choose at this time.
Is it rejection?
Or compromise?
The price of the former is obviously death!
And the price of the latter is…
At this time, facing the gaze of Salus and others, Selena, whose face was originally as cold as ice, as if thousands of miles away.
The delicate corner of her lips suddenly curved into a captivating arc, like melting snow, instantly stirring the hearts of those present and igniting their fantasies.
Salas greedily swallowed, thinking she had come to her senses.
But the next second, Selena, synchronized with the echoing voice in her mind, spoke: "With just you… are you worthy?!"
Salas: ???
