The High-Ranking Vampire felt a stir in his heart, but his expression quickly darkened.
The group of bloodsuckers led by Jack was not there to provide assistance! Their target was the Other Races! The Bloodline Youth charged at the Other Races, their sharp fangs piercing necks and continuously draining blood!
The entire Healing Chamber was plunged into Chaos, filled with various roars and screams. Meanwhile, the Blood Warriors were momentarily stunned, unsure of whom to assist. Before the battle began, the High-Ranking Vampire had clearly stated to avoid excessive casualties.
This was not out of kindness from the High-Ranking Vampire; rather, the blood of these Other Races was extremely important. Without thorough research, mass deaths could not occur. Otherwise, not only would he suffer consequences, but everyone connected to the Healing Chamber would also face dire repercussions!
"These damned fools..." The High-Ranking Vampire's eyes nearly blazed with fury. The influx of Bloodline Youth meant that the situation had completely spiraled out of control. If they were allowed to continue their slaughter, it would result in numerous deaths among the Other Races. However, if he forcibly intervened, the youth would join forces with the Other Races, which would be enough trouble for the Blood Warriors.
"Bang!" A Blood Warrior sent one youth flying, only to be surrounded by four or five others and hurled away.
"Go summon Lord Zik! Quickly! Hurry to Greed's Gate and request Lord Zik's support!" The High-Ranking Vampire shouted orders at his subordinates without a second thought.
"Lord Zik?" The warrior froze. It was well-known that Zeke had a notoriously volatile temper among the Four Great Guardians. If he got involved, the consequences would be severe.
"Do you want to be executed by Lord Suye?! Move now!" The High-Ranking Vampire glared and roared.
The Blood Warrior shuddered; clearly, Su Ye's name was far more terrifying than Zeke's. With no further hesitation, he rushed out of the Healing Chamber's doors in a panic.
Meanwhile, the instigator of this entire farce was slowly making his way through the corridors of the Eastern Bastion.
Indeed, this matter was orchestrated entirely by Garen; more accurately, it was the first step he took after leaving the Blood Clan. Of course, Old John and Selenaia were exceptions, as the Bandit Spirit executed Garen's task in the way he knew best.
The task itself was quite simple—Chaos.
Through half a month of observation, Garen discovered that the operations of Blood Clan Castle differed greatly from those of humans, but there was one constant: order was paramount. Despite the complex relationships within the Blood Clan due to their differing backgrounds, no one dared to challenge the rules under Su Ye's strong leadership. Any factor that threatened order would be eradicated.
Garen had once been the commander of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, so he understood what this meant. In other words, as long as this order remained stable, his chances of escaping the castle would be nonexistent.
Thus, Garen faced a situation where, in order to leave the castle, he had to first disrupt the internal order.
He needed a Chaos.
However, this Chaos could not be too large; if it attracted the attention of significant figures in the Inner Fortress, it would likely be resolved in less than three minutes, and they might even trace it back to Garen. At the same time, the scale of the Chaos could not be too small either; it had to be substantial enough to make resolution difficult and compel a request for support.
Listening to the commotion coming from the Healing Chamber, Garen knew he had succeeded.
Soon enough, the commander over there would likely request support, and the target for assistance would undoubtedly be Zeke from Greed's Gate. According to the intelligence provided by Bai, Greed's Gate was the closest to the Healing Chamber. As long as that commander hadn’t lost his mind, he would definitely seek out Zeke. Although Zeke had a fiery temper, he was also notoriously loyal; it was predictable that he would personally lead a support team.
Of course, this Third Tier Guardian wouldn’t be foolish enough to take everyone away, but in order to quell the chaos more quickly, he would certainly take only the elite.
Thus, through continuous evolution of events, a scenario ultimately formed—
The night when Greed's Gate had been weakest in defense for nearly six months.
Hearing the shouts from the Healing Chamber, Garen immediately quickened his pace. With Zeke's strength, it wouldn't take long at all to settle this farce. Correspondingly, Garen's time was also quite limited.
Before the towering Black Gate, which stood over three hundred meters high, an eerie silence enveloped the atmosphere.
The Blood Warriors were lined up in two large columns, holding their breath. Even the vice-captain, Gaius, dared not make a sound. The reason was simple: their leader was in a foul mood.
"Are those idiots from the Inner Fortress just sitting around?" Zeke, clad in a black trench coat, gripped the collar of his companion tightly. "Who was there today?"
The blood clan member who had come to deliver the news trembled as he mustered the courage to respond, "It was... it was Lord Niler..."
"Niler? That waste dares to call himself a lord?" Zeke scoffed, disdain etched across his face. "It seems he hasn't tasted pain yet!"
At that moment, Gaius stepped forward. "Boss, should I take some people over?"
Gaius was a newcomer whom Zeke held in high regard; he was one of the few in Greed's Gate who dared to speak up when Zeke was angry.
"Yeah. Bring Nuhar and the others, and also..." Zeke began but suddenly waved his hand. "Forget it, I'll go myself. I've long been fed up with those lazy good-for-nothings from the Inner Fortress! Hmph, although Lord Suye will surely punish them severely, before that happens, I need them to feel Zeke's wrath!"
"Nuhar, Chimera, Dodoros... all of you come with me!"
"This..." Gaius hesitated. He knew that the names Zeke had called out belonged to powerful figures within Greed's Gate. Facing the Other Races and lower-tier youths from the Healing Chamber didn't require such a grand show of force.
Despite Zeke's notorious dominance, it was clear he genuinely wanted to give those from the Inner Fortress a harsh lesson. However, this would leave Greed's Gate's defensive strength significantly weakened.
Zeke noticed Gaius's concern and patted his shoulder. "Believe in your strength! You're no longer just a pawn!"
"Alright, I will guard the entrance well," Gaius said, feeling a surge of inspiration.
"We'll be back soon, but when I return, I hope nothing has changed at the entrance," Zeke replied with a smile, waving his hand. In an instant, he transformed into a black shadow and dashed into the distance, followed closely by the Elite Warriors who also turned into black shadows.
In the blink of an eye, only Gaius and a few warriors remained at the tall entrance.
"Everyone back to your posts, stay alert!" Gaius commanded, quickly regaining his composure. He was indeed a talent nurtured by Zeke.
"And you..." Gaius turned his gaze to the soldier who had delivered the message, "Get back!"
Watching the soldier flee in embarrassment, Gaius couldn't help but feel a sense of reflection. Under Lord Zik's guidance over the years, he had long since shed his youthful naivety and become a loyal and skilled warrior. Although Zeke's long tenure in the Guardians position would likely be his greatest obstacle in the future, it did not diminish his respect for Lord Zik.
If there were to be a ranking within the castle, Zeke would undoubtedly hold second place in Gaius's heart.
As for first place, it was without question Lord Suye, the female knight who led Solomon out of darkness!
Just as Gaius was lost in thought, a golden ray shot across the city wall. The Blood Warriors who had just returned to their posts were struck down before they could even react.
However, powerful barriers surrounded the castle; to leave Solomon, one could only exit through one of the four main entrances.
A figure enveloped in crackling golden lightning leaped down from the city wall, interrupting Gaius's musings.
