I Became the Progenitor Vampire-Chapter 230 - 231: The War Ends, Meat Delivered to Our Lips is Truly Delicious
Chapter 230: Chapter 231: The War Ends, Meat Delivered to Our Lips is Truly Delicious
Rabiao, wielding a war hammer taller than himself, charged recklessly among the Beastman throngs.
Nobody could withstand the wrath of the level 18 Dwarf King.
Beastmen towering two blades high appeared childishly weak before the 1.5 blade-tall Dwarf King, with not a single one surviving a breath under his war hammer.
Rabiao’s pale lips betrayed his exhaustion from just having torn through the Magic Prohibition Chains, his strength as a level 18 Dwarf Warrior not even a third recovered.
But the fire of revenge made him ignore all that.
“Chief Rabiao, the army attacking the Beastmen is not our reinforcement, it’s the Vampires!!”
At this moment, Massi Hammer approached the Dwarf King with a complex expression.
Hearing this, Rabiao’s face tensed, and he swiftly turned his head.
“Vampires??”
“Yes, seen through the distance glass, and there are many giant bats in the sky too!”
Rabiao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with confusion, Vampires? How could it be Vampires?
A whirlwind of questions spun in his mind, but there was no time to get to the bottom of it.
He knew full well the terror of Vampires, creatures of darkness. If the Dwarf Tribe was intact, he would fear no enemy.
But after such prolonged enslavement and oppression, the combat power of the Dwarves was less than one-tenth of their peak.
They had no strength left to face a group of Vampires capable of unleashing powerful magic and sending tens of thousands of Beastmen into collapse.
Now, they must retreat!
“Notify all clansmen, leave immediately through the secret passage!!”
Although Rabiao longed for revenge, he calmed down, understanding the Dwarves were now too weak.
If it were just him, he could fight heedlessly, even to death, here.
But he could not allow the elderly and underage children among his people to be buried with him.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”
Massi had just turned to leave when Rabiao suddenly looked up.
Hundreds of large dark shadows sped swiftly across the sky in the dim firelight.
Flapping wings filled the air—
These were the bats raised by the Vampires!
Rabiao’s heart sank; the Dwarves had once hunted Vampires, creatures whose very bodies were alchemy materials, and he had seen such immense beings.
Under normal circumstances, Rabiao would have countless ways to shoot down these damnable creatures of darkness, but now the Dwarves had nothing.
He could only watch as the bats, with wingspans of ten blades, spread fear above them.
A flicker of unwillingness crossed Rabiao’s eyes, but faced with an overpowering situation, he could only turn and leave despite his reluctance.
Whoosh whoosh—
Over three hundred Magic Language Bats hunted in the Dwarf City’s night sky, dominating the entire heavens without an opponent in sight.
The sound of their wings, whooshing in the wind, brought an even greater terror to the already panicked Beastmen.
Rabiao surveyed the skies cautiously, but to his surprise, these large creatures of darkness did not attack the Dwarves; instead, they completely ignored the Dwarves and focused their assaults on the Beastmen.
Some Dwarves even found themselves inadvertently rescued.
This scene caused Rabiao’s expression to stiffen. Could it be that these Vampires were reinforcements sent by Master Valen and Anakin?
Otherwise, why hadn’t they attacked the Dwarves?
But was that possible?
They were Dark Creatures, after all, cruel, bloodthirsty, murderous—every negative adjective described them.
Could such Dark Life really be allies to the Dwarves? It seemed impossible.
But if not, why didn’t they harm the Dwarves and even lent a helping hand??
Rabiao’s mind was full of questions.
Yet he didn’t linger on the issue; even though the Vampires’ giant bats hadn’t attacked the Dwarves, he wouldn’t place his hope in them.
Only the power in one’s own hands was the real truth.
The other Dwarves also noticed the anomalies of the Magic Language Bats, the hostility they initially held for those demon-like Dark Creatures fading rapidly, no longer striking at them, and instead focusing solely on the dispersing Beastmen.
Before long, more and more Dwarves assembled around Rabiao, the number surpassing three hundred in just a few minutes.
The formations of Dwarves drastically increased in strength, quickly overpowering the chaotic Beastmen.
At that moment, the Magic Language Bats that had just been aiding the Dwarves seemed to sense this change and unexpectedly began to scatter the Dwarves converging on the Dwarf King, no longer as friendly as before.
Rabiao’s heart sank, “Clansmen, form the battle array, follow me back to rescue the others.
Dwarves, never retreat!!”
“Never retreat!!”
Hundreds of Dwarves roared in unison, their morale skyrocketing.
Just as Rabiao was ready to turn back to rescue the other Dwarves, a terrifyingly indescribable presence came from the horizon.
Roar—
A tremendous roar echoed across the sky above Dwarf City.
As if an Abyssal Giant Beast had opened its gaping maw, ready to devour the world, panic spread.
It was the aura of a giant dragon!!
Massi’s face, concealed by a thick beard, showed a look of utter urgency as he shouted towards the Dwarf King, who was about to re-enter the battle in Dwarf City.
“Chief Rabiao, hurry up, the giant dragon is coming!!”
“No, our people are still in the city!!”
Watching a resolute Rabiao, Masi’s veins popped as he screamed in mad rage,
“Chief!! If we don’t leave now, all of us will be left behind here!!
Only the living can take revenge, once we find Copper Hammer Tribe, those damned Beastmen and Vampires will all become the prey of the Dwarves!”
Hearing this, Rabiao took a deep look at his trusted subordinate and, with determination in his heart, hesitated no more.
He turned around and swiftly led the three hundred Dwarves who had already reached the edge of the city, escaping through a secret passage in the valley that had once been their homeland.
When Lide arrived above the Dwarves aboard a Bone Dragon, Rabiao had already led the Dwarves into the passage.
This secret passage was built in an abandoned mine on the edge of the mountains; those wishing to pursue would have to navigate the complex terrain of the mine.
“Ancestor Crown, the Dwarf King has escaped, should we pursue…” Stanley looked eagerly at the last few Dwarves entering the mine, but before he could finish his sentence, a thunderous boom exploded like rolling thunder, as the passage from which the Dwarves escaped was blasted apart by the Alchemy Bomb, sending soil and debris flying dozens of feet high.
Lide shook his head; these Dwarves were indeed resolute.
“There’s no need to think about it now, clean up the battlefield below.”
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
“Kill all the Beastmen, but as for the Dwarves, do not harm them unless they attack us first, as they are all our spoils of war.”
With Lide’s command given,
Over a hundred Bloodline members of level 7 to 9, along with more than three hundred Magic Language Bats under the lead of seven top combatants, carried out a dark slaughter of the remaining Beastmen.
War has never been about mercy.
This is a race war for survival space, with no good or evil, no justice; it’s pure warfare.
Without their backbone organization, the Beastmen, despite outnumbering the Bloodline by over ten or twenty times, were undoubtedly crushed under the power of high-level forces.
And the Bloodline would shout to the Dwarves they met, “We are here to rescue our allies, the Dwarves. So long as the Dwarves do not attack the Holy Light Bloodline, we will not harm the Dwarves.”
The terrified Dwarves did not believe it at first and a terrifying battle took place, but then they truly noticed that the Vampires did not attack them, even assisting them when they were in danger.
The Dwarves, though still not fully trusting of the Bloodline, refrained from attacking the Bloodline as recklessly as they had the Beastmen.
One day passed, then another; time ticked by swiftly.
During the night, the valley witnessed the most brutal scene.
Slaughter was the evening’s main theme, and death, the night’s hymn.
Every second, lives faded away.
Lifeless bodies, their complexions deathly pale, were strewn everywhere.
Blood soaked every inch of the ground once trodden by living feet.
The Bloodline’s main enemies had long since lost the will to resist, and untold numbers of Beastmen threw down their weapons and armor, frantically running outside the Dwarf Valley.
They were unable to stop these fleeing Beastmen; there were simply too many, and the Bloodline’s sparse numbers couldn’t keep up.
The battle continued from the deep of night until dawn,
When the first ray of light pierced through the clouds and shone on Dwarf Valley.
This bitter race war finally came to an end.
By then, the Dwarf city had been half destroyed, tall buildings collapsed onto the streets, beams and stones scattered everywhere, obstructing most of the pathways.
The steep spire of the street corner cross clock was blown apart, leaning against another four-story building made of gray wooden stones; the bell clanged dully against the wall whenever the wind blew.
Streets in rows were destroyed, and under many collapsed buildings, several pale arms stretched out from the debris and wood, blood slowly seeping from underneath the ruins — life was always so cheap in war.
The remnants of meals and rubble filled each street, everything speaking to the war’s cruelty and indifference.
But, this was for the losers.
For the victors, they would reap all the sweetness of victory.
Lide stood on one of the city’s streets that hadn’t been utterly destroyed, looking at the largely collapsed city with a calm expression.
As if all of it had nothing to do with him, the orchestrator.
Magic Language Bats still searched the skies, guarding against the enemy’s return, and Bloodline members were tying up Beastman prisoners who hadn’t died.
Such was war, Lide thought, his deep gaze complex. The benevolent do not lead troops, the kind do not manage wealth; although he had experienced several wars, this scene of utter destruction still left him somewhat sentimental.
“Perhaps, this is sentimentalism; damn it, we won the fight and here I am mourning the spring and grieving for autumn…” Lide harshly criticized himself.
“Ancestor, the Beastman King has awoken, and the Dwarves are also seeking an audience with you.”
Not far away, Stanley came forward with an excited expression to report.
His eyes, fixed on Lide’s profile, were filled with admiration.
Under Ancestor Crown’s command, they had won a significant victory, a historic and glorious one.
They had eradicated a Beastman Tribe with tens of thousands of soldiers in one night, capturing a level 16 Werewolf and a powerful level 18 Beastman King.
If word got out, they would be praised by everyone in Green City, and even the war tonight would be sung by traveling minstrels.
And all this credit went to the great Ancestor Crown; without his decisive orders, none of this would have happened tonight.
Lide was unaware that his Bloodline already silently credited all the accolades to him in their hearts. If he knew, he would certainly feel gratified. You want to praise me?
He nodded in response.
“Let’s meet with the Dwarves first; as for the Beastman King… this Lion-man warrior is already our prisoner. Just make sure he doesn’t die.”
After saying this, his eyes carried a meaningful look towards the hundreds of Dwarves in the distance.
This piece of meat coming their way was indeed fat.
