Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Breakthrough of the Second Generation Bloodline (3/3)
Audis, far in the borderlands, felt that everything had changed.
His body seemed to have shed some burdensome weight last night, making his soul feel light and airy.
The air was different, the magic power was different, even his breathing was smoother.
His level, which had been stuck at 9, seemed to be on the verge of an increase.
Initially, he thought he was the only one feeling this way, but Ivy, wearing a black mage robe, also happily shared that she felt the same.
This surprised him, and after inquiring further, it wasn’t just the two of them—Lucy, Dylan, and even all of the Bloodline experienced the same sensation.
This led Audis to wonder if the great clan leader had developed a new Bloodline power.
This reminded him of the previous instance from thousands of miles away when Lide issued commands to all of them through their bloodline.
The anomaly they sensed last night also made this conjecture unanimously agreed upon by the second-generation Bloodline members.
But since they couldn’t contact Lide for now, they could only keep this guess in mind and wait to confirm it after returning.
“Viscount lords, we have discovered a new group of wandering civilians, and there are no Beastmen near this group of civilians.”
The Bloodline below, holding the latest intelligence, reported.
Over this period, they had found many groups of civilians, but many of these groups had Beast Clan’s double-legged flying dragons roving nearby.
Although the Beastmen had no interest in humans who had already been plundered, if the Bloodline recklessly plundered humans, they would undoubtedly be discovered by the Beastmen.
The Beastmen might show no interest in human civilians, but they were very interested in the Bloodline, who were full of alchemy materials.
So, for safety, Audis and his group would not act if they detected Beastmen near the migrating civilians.
Otherwise, the population of Dawn City would not just have been 2000 over the past half month; doubling it might have been possible.
The borderlands were too dangerous; this was Beastmen territory, and the Bloodline had no grounds to wrestle with hundreds of thousands of Beastmen.
If they acted rashly, the losses the Bloodline faced would not be small; such high-risk actions were not in the Bloodline’s interests.
Thus, Audis led the Bloodline to keep lurking, ensuring sufficient safety before every action.
“Double the deployment of magic language bats for reconnaissance, and expand the area by threefold, ensuring there are no Beastmen nearby.”
The borderlands were now the domain of the Beastmen, a fact even humans had to acknowledge.
Especially when the human armies were crushed, those crude Beastmen sent out a large number of double-legged flying dragons daily to patrol, searching for untouched human villages and towns.
Despite being so cautious, the Bloodline had encountered a few incidents, fortunately without any major losses, which was why Audis was always so cautious.
“Yes, Viscount.”
After the reporting Bloodline left, Audis stood up and looked at Ivy, Lucy, and Dylan, his companions of a hundred years, and said in a deep voice,
“Ivy, this mission will be the same as before; you are in charge of coordination, and I will handle reconnaissance and guard against Beastmen.
This is the borderland, and I have spent the longest time here among us, so I understand the ferocity of the Beastmen better.
Those numerously vile creatures are incredibly dangerous, and with too few Bloodline members, even if we could put up a strong fight, we mustn’t act recklessly.
Everything must prioritize the safety of the Bloodline; one can never be too cautious on the borderlands. Let’s begin the operation now.”
After listening to Audis, they began their preparations according to the previously established task distribution model.
Originally, Lide had ordered Ivy to be responsible for plundering borderland populations, but because Audis was more familiar with the border environment, after observing a couple of times, Ivy decisively handed back the command to Audis.
Ivy was a very smart female Bloodline member; she knew that not even one of the Bloodline members could afford losses, so for safety, she cooperated fully with Audis.
After several operations to plunder human populations, the group had become familiar with the process.
Audis was vigilant, Dylan controlled the Magic Language Bats, Lucy intimidated the humans, and if resistance was met, she would strike first, while Avi was responsible for pacifying the crowd.
Although it was not perfect, this structure was enough to face panicked civilians with no resistance; in fact, their dealings with civilians often revolved not around making them surrender.
But rather about preventing the humans from scattering and fleeing.
Few people could maintain their confidence to resist under the overwhelming presence of giant bats.
The fourth human population plundering operation quickly unfolded.
At dusk, a large group of nearly a thousand refugees rested on a vast grassland, tired and hungry after a day’s travel; many were already starting fires to cook.
Just then, giant bats covered the sky.
Under the twilight, the terrifying scene seemed like the apocalypse had arrived.
The vampires had come!!
Everything proceeded as before, chaos, fear, some people even fled outright.
But the experienced Bloodline followed the established procedure, intimidation, pacification, and finally making various promises.
The human plunder concluded before it even turned completely dark.
Although the refugees below were very reluctant, under the strong intimidation of the Bloodline, they obediently climbed onto the Magic Language Bats and began flying towards Dawn City.
Just as half of the Magic Language Bats had taken off, Audis, who was responsible for the vigilance, suddenly paled.
They had encountered big trouble.
A message came from a nearby outpost, stating that three hundred Double-legged Flying Dragons were flying towards their location.
They would arrive in a third of Sunshine Hour.
But at least half a Sunshine Hour was still needed to evacuate all these humans.
This put Audis in a dilemma.
To abandon them, these people were a resource the Bloodline greatly craved, and the enemy’s numbers were not large, and they still had some time before their arrival,
Not to abandon them, the enemy was Double-legged Flying Dragons, although weaker in combat compared to Magic Language Bats of the same level, they were still one of the most powerful aerial units of the Beast Clan, and no one could guarantee there wouldn’t be casualties among the Bloodline if a battle ensued.
His eyes turned cold, he looked back at the half-completed transport.
“Avi, Dylan, Lucy, come with me, we’ll hold off the Beastmen for a while.”
Although it was just the four of them, being second-generation Bloodline who lived for over a hundred years as higher beings, they were not afraid, even facing hundreds of Human Beastmen.
They had enough confidence to confront the enemy, and even if they couldn’t win, they had enough backup plans to escape.
Audis’s words received everyone’s response, and what they did not know was that this courageous action would bring them significant gains.
That night, Lide heard four system notifications by his ear.
