Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Pride of the Residents of Dawn City (Added Chapter)
Lide had considered that the second-generation Blood Descendants would ascend in strength after the Bloodline shackles were removed, but he didn’t expect the ascension to be so rapid.
Just one day had passed, and already four second-generation Blood Descendants had advanced to Level 10, a fact that could only surprise him.
At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the Bloodline’s foundation; the talent of Upper Races should not be underestimated.
What could be foreseen was that this was only the beginning. Initially restricted by the Bloodline shackles, second-generation Blood Descendants could only reach a maximum of Level 9, while the third-generation Blood Descendants were all hovering between Levels 6, 7, and 8.
Now that the Bloodline shackles had been lifted, the Bloodline’s strength was on the verge of a dramatic surge over the coming period.
According to the memories of the Blood Clan Ancestor, there hadn’t been much change in the Bloodline’s strength over the past few decades. After decades of accumulation, Lide believed the Bloodline would surely bring him great surprises.
Moreover, among the third-generation Blood Descendants, there were also those with exceptional talent, but due to the Bloodline shackles limiting their development, a pyramid structure had emerged within the Bloodline.
The Blood Clan Ancestor held the highest position, followed by the second and then the third-generation Blood Descendants respectively.
Such a structure ensured that the Blood Clan Ancestor remained at the apex of the pyramid, the strongest, and able to firmly control the Bloodline, which was crucial during the Bloodline’s weaker stages to protect the Ancestor from betrayal.
Lide didn’t know whether his talent for securing unwavering loyalty from his Descendants was part of the original Blood Clan Ancestor’s talents or if it activated only after he took over the body.
As such, he refrained from rash judgments on whether the Bloodline shackles that restricted strength were right or wrong. If the Bloodline wouldn’t have remained loyal to the Ancestor back then, then setting such restrictions for one’s safety was justifiable.
But now that he possessed the Bloodline’s unshakable loyalty, he naturally had no more hesitation.
And he was absolutely confident in maintaining a lead over all other Bloodline.
…
The fourth group of humans had arrived.
Late at night, when Lide saw the enormous Magic Language Bat descend with a crowd onto the plaza of Dawn City, a thick smile spread across his face.
He had expected Audis and the others to return immediately after receiving his orders, but he didn’t expect them to bring back thousands of humans.
Moreover, these few second-generation Blood Descendants had also broken through to Level 10, which came as a pleasant surprise to him.
After landing in the plaza, most of the newcomers wore expressions of panic and unease.
Compared to the surrounding crowd, they looked like startled little rabbits.
Porcupine had become quite adept at receiving the newcomers and gestured to Raymond beside him, “Raymond, you do the talking again. I’m not good with words.”
Raymond shrugged his shoulders, chiding with a laugh, “Every time it’s my turn to step up when it’s your turn. Aren’t you afraid your son will laugh at you?”
Porcupine laughed proudly: “That little rascal wouldn’t dare! You don’t know how proud he’s been lately because his father is a member of the Security Team.”
Being a member of the Security Team, a department under Dawn City’s City Hall, brought a great sense of honor.
On any given day, just wearing the Security Team uniform and the red armband in public was sure to garner a wave of respectful glances.
In Lide’s vision, the role of the Security Team was akin to the police, but with much greater authority.
As long as they spotted a crime that violated Dawn City’s regulations, the Security Team had the jurisdiction to deal with it on the spot, even if it meant carrying out an execution.
And over this period of development, the Security Team’s model had gradually matured. What began as a squad of 30 now boasted a reserve force of 100.
Next time, they only needed to expand recruitment again to rapidly replenish their numbers to over a hundred people, which was undoubtedly great news given the ever-increasing population of Dawn City.
Although Porter’s Wild Wolf gang had been cleared out, the more people there were, the inevitable petty thefts occurred. The emergence of the Security Team could effectively deter such individuals.
“Everyone, there’s no need to panic; this is Dawn City, and we are under the protection of the Holy Light Bloodline. The Holy Light Bloodline will not harm us.
I am a member of the Dawn City Security Team, and we are all humans.”
Having called out several times before, Raymond was now familiar with the routine, and his firm, confident words significantly diminished the panic of the surrounding people.
“I’ll repeat it once more, we are all humans, and there are thousands of humans living in Dawn City. Here, your lives, your property, all are protected by Dawn City.
In this grand city, you will receive everything you desire.
I swear that after everyone registers their information, you will all praise this city.”
After hearing these words, the crowd around them immediately showed faces full of doubt. To start liking this city just after registering information? What kind of joke was this? This was a vampire city!
But hearing Raymond’s words, the people around still felt much more at ease. At the very least, there were many humans in the city, and vampires didn’t just kill on sight.
As for the claim made by this group of vampires that they were from the Holy Light Bloodline, aside from a small number who were skeptical, most humans did not believe it.
Queue up, register, receive free food, get housing allocated.
This had become the standard procedure for receiving refugees.
And the crowd, which had arrived full of doubt and panic, slowly changed faces after registering.
The original unease, fear, and even despair morphed into hope and a subtle unbelievability in a short amount of time.
All this stemmed from the news they received during the registration process.
Dawn City not only provided free food daily but also allocated housing for free, more importantly—distributed land.
This critical piece of news almost overwhelmed them; the land made their original worries and fears seem utterly powerless.
The profound hope made many feel as though they were rejuvenated.
Especially when the members of the Security Team and logistic teams around them repeatedly told them how they had obtained land the day before last, their excitement and pride dissolved any remaining doubts.
If one person tells a lie, it’s definitely a falsehood, but when everyone around you repeats it, even a lie can turn into truth. What’s more, every member of the Security and logics team had genuinely received their own piece of land.
Proudly, they could not help but show off before these nervous newcomers, exuberantly displaying their points and how they were allocated land, with pride written all over their faces.
And in this process, one couldn’t avoid bringing up the Bloodline, a race that was notoriously evil in human legends, but at this moment became a great and bright presence, with nearly everyone lavishing praise on the Bloodline without stinginess.
Lide was not visible in organizing the reception of this population influx; he was hidden, listening with interest to how the crowd praised the Bloodline and admired the most magnificent Holy Light Blood Clan Patriarch, Lord of Dawn—Lord Kachar.
It was indeed a pleasant affair.
Lide’s face was brimming with a smile.
But it wasn’t long before he left with a feeling of lingering affection.
Because Audis and the others had come back.
