Recker laid down his greatsword and knelt on one knee.

His eyes were filled with immense pain.

“Honorable Mage, we are willing to surrender.”

The moment Recker knelt, something shattered in the heart of young Oli, causing his eyes to blur with tears.

“No, Brother Recker, we can’t surrender to the vampires, they will kill us all…”

Recker’s body trembled, but he kept his head bowed.

He had no choice; none of them did.

Surrender might mean survival, while resistance only meant death.

Recker painfully closed his eyes. He wasn’t one of the ignorant commoners. As a Level 7 warrior who had once joined a formal mercenary corps, he knew just how powerful these vampires were.

“Very well. I see you hold high esteem among these people. Restrain your kin, and you will not be in danger.”

Ivy nodded in satisfaction. From the moment the Bloodline appeared, the outcome was already sealed.

Initially, her plan was to defeat the strongest among them to intimidate the rest, but the internal chaos had already deprived these humans of their resistance.

The outcome was better than she had imagined.

Recker stood up, his expression calm once more, just as he had done when he worked as a mercenary in the capital of the Nolan Empire. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he became.

“Honorable Mage, we have one last request,” Recker pointed to Marcos, who was already too terrified to speak. “This cowardly noble made us lose our families. I hope to personally behead him. I swear, if you fulfill my wish, I will give anything.”

Marcos shuddered upon hearing this.

“No, honorable Bloodline lord. I am a noble of the country. I can use gold coin to ransom my life. I have this privilege.”

When Marcos saw the gazes of over a dozen vampires turn to him, his eyes filled with terror.

Ivy frowned.

She glanced at the crowd and saw that most of the humans had eyes filled with rage.

Clearly, this human noble had incurred the wrath of the crowd.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Very well. This noble shall be handed over to you.”

Upon hearing Ivy’s words, the crowd, who thought Marcos could escape, reignited with anger.

It was this damned scoundrel who had led their family and friends into futile resistance. Their anger at the Bloodline and fear of the future were all vented upon Marcos at this moment.

Even with Enda, a Level 7 guard, protecting him, Marcos was still torn to pieces by the furious crowd.

Ivy stood by without stopping the bloody venting.

When she saw that the crowd’s emotions had begun to turn unstable, she raised her hand.

A fireball, larger than a head, appeared in her hand.

Second Circle Magic—Big Fireball Skill.

The blazing flames and powerful magical fluctuations instantly cooled the frenzied atmosphere.

Ivy swung her hand forcefully, and the fireball flew skyward, rising over 100 blades high.

Boom.

The flames burst, burning brightly in the sky.

In the twilight after sunset, the fireball’s light was brighter than the sky.

A shockwave of hot air burned the gathered crowd’s hair into curls.

Recker dropped his longsword, his face filled with shock as he looked at the vampire before him.

Though he knew the Bloodline was powerful, he hadn’t expected her to unleash such terrifying attack magic.

Such a powerful spellcaster was beyond his ability to defeat; even in mercenary groups, such powerful mages were rare.

Additionally, he still had hundreds of his kin.

Seeing the surrounding vampires and the giant bats flying in the sky, blocking out the sun, he tossed all his thoughts aside.

Life Goddess above, why are there such powerful vampires at the border? Are the soldiers of Green City all pigs?!

“Honorable Mage, please tell us what you need us to do.”

Seeing Recker bow his head, Ivy nodded. Her bright black eyes seemed to see through hearts.

“Smart human, you carry the aura of a mercenary. I imagine you know that the power of the Bloodline is irresistible. Organize and gather all the humans. I will use Magic Language Bats to take you all to the Holy Light Bloodline’s castle. There you will find work and enough food to get through this winter. I bear you no ill will. The beastmen destroyed your homes, and our castle will be your future home.”

Though Recker didn’t trust Ivy before him, he had no choice under absolute power.

“Honorable Mage, we have many elderly and children…” Thinking of the terrifying legends of the Bloodline, he worriedly said, “We can’t abandon our families.”

Because the elderly and children do not have much blood, in human legends, they are often directly killed.

“Human, I emphasize one last time, we are the Holy Light Bloodline and are not like the evil Bloodline you know of. Go and count your numbers, organizing them by families. I will take them all back to the castle.”

Seeing the serious look in Ivy’s eyes, Recker felt a sudden movement in his heart.

Could there really be a difference between the Holy Light Bloodline and the evil Bloodline?

Things had developed to such a degree that he had no strength to resist and could only follow Ivy’s words, praying that she would keep her promises.

The Bloodline here was strong enough to combat a beastman cavalry hundreds in number. No one could resist them.

Recker led a few familiar militia members to start counting the numbers and organizing the people by families, per Ivy’s instructions.

In fact, after the arrival of the Bloodline, except for the militia who dealt with Marcos, the remaining people had long since grouped themselves. In the chaos, everyone wanted to be with their families.

Walking among the crowd, Recker saw the bewildered faces around him and felt immense pain.

Among these people were his friends and neighbors. If he had the power, they wouldn’t be in this predicament.

“Recker, it’s okay. We believe in you.”

“Recker, hahaha, don’t cry like a coward. We are still alive, aren’t we?”

“Brother Recker…”

The shouts were the only sound under the setting sun.

This group of humans, who had just lost their homes, didn’t know that the fate awaiting them wasn’t as dire as they thought.
