Chapter 559: Vampires Bet
“Demons?”
Kaeger’s eyes were filled with shock when he saw the two iron-tower-like figures behind Vincent. At the same time, he held back the impulse to make a move and looked at Vincent with a puzzled look.
Vincent nodded with satisfaction when he saw Kaeger’s reaction. He cleared his throat, raise his voice, and said, “That’s right! This is Gaia, the general of the 1st Corps of the Demon Race, and Benson, the deputy commander. As for why they are here, I think you can guess it, right?”
Kaeger said with a dubious look, “What? Do you mean that Gajero didn’t come to the capital of Ultimate Evil alone? He had even snuck in an entire army?”
Vincent smiled meaningfully and said, “Just because the current battle situation seems to be in favor of the Ultimate Evil Lord does not mean the Ultimate Evil Lord will be the final winner. The demons have already made a full-scale deployment long ago. As long as they wait until the critical moment, they will completely overturn the capital of Ultimate Evil! If you want the Feathered Monster Race to continue to survive, I advise you not to participate in this battle. If you can leave as soon as possible, quickly leave the capital of Ultimate Evil!”
Kaeger looked at Vincent with a face full of suspicion. Although his expression was still calm, his heart was trembling violently.
If the demons really wanted to destroy the capital of Ultimate Evil, they would definitely be fully prepared. If they still chose to stand with the capital of Ultimate Evil, then the entire Feathered Monster Race would be destroyed!
Kaeger was only hesitant because these words had come from Vincent’s mouth.
As someone who had been tricked by Vincent to the point of almost losing his family, Kaeger no longer dared to believe every word that Vincent said.
To be on the safe side, Kaeger could only continue to say to Vincent, “I want to know, in what capacity are you speaking to me now?”
Vincent curled his lips slightly as if he had already guessed Kaeger’s doubts. He said with a proud look, “Of course, I’m your old friend, but I’m also the guide for the Demon Race to enter the capital of Ultimate Evil. If the Demon Race did not join hands with me, do you really think that Gajero could lead the entire demon army into the capital of Ultimate Evil so easily?”
Kaeger immediately retorted, “But how could you enter the capital of Ultimate Evil so easily?”
Vincent said calmly, “Because when I left, I deliberately left a teleportation array in a corner of the capital of Ultimate Evil. A teleportation array made using the authority scroll can easily bypass the Ultimate Evil Lord’s control over the capital of Ultimate Evil. Although it could only be maintained for a short period of time, it was enough to teleport an army!”
Kaeger could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. As he had not used a real authority scroll, he subconsciously believed Vincent’s explanation to be true.
This was because Vincent’s method was indeed feasible. However, the details surrounding his explanation were somewhat different from the real situation. The teleportation array made using the modification authority was only a one-time consumable and could be maintained for a very short period of time. The teleportation array had reached its limit after teleporting Vincent and Gajero to the capital of Ultimate Evil. It would be simply impossible to teleport an army in.
However, other than Vincent, no one else knew the truth!
Kaeger fell silent. This was because he and the Feathered Monster Race had gotten used to living in the capital of Ultimate Evil for many years. If they wanted to continue staying, they had to fight side by side with the Ultimate Evil Lord. This was their only choice.
However, Kaeger was even more unwilling to face Gajero, who had led an entire army into the capital of Ultimate Evil. This made him involuntarily recall the scene when the Feathered Monster World was destroyed.
He could even recall the time when he saw a large number of elite Feathered Monster members dying at the hands of Gajero, their corpses piling up into a mountain under his feet. The scene had become an eternal nightmare for Kaeger and the entire Feathered Monster Race.
Kaegar suddenly raised his head to look at Vincent and asked with a frown, “Since the Demon Race wants to destroy the capital of Ultimate Evil, then why are you letting us leave? The Demon Race never had such a kind heart!”
Vincent smiled slightly and said confidently, “That’s because I’m the one leading this battle! Without my plan and teleportation array, the Demon Race would not have been able to easily enter the capital of Ultimate Evil. My only goal is to kill the Ultimate Evil Lord that is pursuing me relentlessly. Although old friends like you and Marcus also want to kill me, I know that I was the one who deceived you in the first place. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to sell you a favor. From now on, all the grudges between us will be written off, and we might even become better trading partners in the future!”
Kaeger narrowed his eyes. He seemed to understand Vincent’s intention.
Once in the capital of Ultimate Evil, Vincent was the only Dragon Race’s material merchant. After he left the capital of Ultimate Evil, he would definitely want to continue to maintain the trade. Therefore, he had to maintain good relationships with the other races.
If the Feathered Monster Race loses the protection of the Ultimate Evil Lord, they would have to return to the Black Hole World to find a new foothold. At that time, they would naturally become Vincent’s potential customers and business partners!
Kaegar finally gave up on the idea of fighting alongside the Ultimate Evil Lord. He said to Vincent with a face of compromise, “Alright, since brother Vincent has pointed out a clear path for me, then I’ll remember this favor of yours. The feud between us will end here. In the future, if there’s an opportunity, we can try to cooperate again!”
Vincent nodded slightly. He smiled and said, “Currently, the capital of Ultimate Evil is in a mess. I wonder if the Feathered Monster Race has a way to safely evacuate? If you encounter difficulty in doing so, I can help you to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil instead, but there will be a fee!”
Kaeger trembled slightly. He did not expect Vincent to start a transaction with him already. He could not wait to make the first deal with him.
However, the current situation was too dangerous. Kaeger did not want to make a deal with Vincent under such circumstances. If he was deceived, what awaited the Feathered Monster Race would be eternal damnation!
Kaeger said resolutely, “There’s no need. The Feathered Monster Race has been operating in the capital of Ultimate Evil for so long. It’s very easy to find a way to leave. Let’s find another opportunity to cooperate in the future!”
Vincent did not insist. He nodded slightly and said, “Then I wish you a safe journey. I still have to pay a visit to my other old friends!”
Kaeger did not say anything more. He turned around and led the elites of the Feathered Monster Race to escort their members to the Black Hole of the capital of Ultimate Evil.
Vincent waited until all the Feathered Monsters had left before he turned around to look at Gaia and Benson. He sighed softly and said, “It seems that the effect of your presence is not bad! Next, we can pay a visit to the Bards!”
…
At the base of the Vampire Race.
After the news of Gajero’s invasion spread out, all the elites of the Vampire Race had gathered early. They were prepared to follow their new race leader, Lionel, to support the Ultimate Evil Lord.
However, for some unknown reason, Lionel had locked himself in his office. He had not shown up for a long time, so the vampires could only stand there and wait. They had a blank look on their faces.
In their leader’s office, Lionel stood in front of the desk respectfully and looked at Justin. Justin’s soul body was sitting on the chair.
Lionel looked at Justin with tears in his eyes and asked with a puzzled look, “Teacher, since you are back, why don’t you let me tell the members the good news?”
Justin shook his head and said indifferently, “Tell them what? You want them to see the wisp of remnant soul that I have left?”
Lionel quickly replied, “Teacher, you misunderstood. I believe that all the vampires will not laugh at your current appearance. Instead, they are looking forward to you rising from the dead and continuing to lead the Vampire Race. Now that Gajero has barged into the capital of Ultimate Evil, it is a great opportunity for us vampires to perform. As long as we can take the lead to support the Ultimate Evil Lord, we will definitely be taken care of in the future!”
Justin shook his head and said with a serious face, “No! The reason I came to find you today is to stop you from supporting the Ultimate Evil Lord!”
Lionel looked at Justin with a blank face and muttered, “Stop supporting the Ultimate Evil Lord? Then how should we vampires establish a foothold in the capital of Ultimate Evil in the future?”
Justin did not hesitate at all and said firmly, “Leave the capital of Ultimate Evil and rebuild the world that belongs to the Vampire Race! We have escaped for so long. It is time to restore the glory of the Vampire Race in the past!”
When Lionel heard this, his blood immediately surged and he could not hide his excitement as he asked, “Then teacher, are you returning this time to lead everyone to rebuild the Vampire Race’s home?”
Justin shook his head again and said with a face full of gratification, “It’s not me, it’s you who will lead the Vampire Race to rebuild their own world! I’m only a remnant soul now. I can survive because I signed a symbiotic contract with Vincent, so I can’t leave him for too long. I will go back to look for him later!”
Lionel’s eyes were slightly dazed as he asked in a deep voice, “Vincent has also come to the capital of Ultimate Evil. Do you want me to bring vampires to kill him and give you your freedom, teacher?”
Justin smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, “The second thing I came to see you today is to tell you that from now on, not only are the vampires not allowed to seek revenge on Vincent, but they will also establish an alliance with Vincent and the humans behind him!”
Lionel asked in confusion, “Why? He killed the most outstanding leader of the vampires. How could I possibly lead the vampires to establish an alliance with him?”
Justin suddenly stood up and walked to the window silently. He looked at the intense battle between Gajero and the Ultimate Evil Lord in the sky and said confidently, “This is because the capital of Ultimate Evil is about to be destroyed. The vampires can no longer stay here!”
Lionel walked to Justin’s side in disbelief and looked up at the battle in the sky. He said in surprise, “At the moment, the Ultimate Evil Lord has the upper hand. Killing Gajero is only a matter of time. How can the capital of Ultimate Evil be destroyed?”
Justin said softly, “No matter what the outcome between the Ultimate Evil Lord and Gajero is, the outcome of the two of them is destined to be death! Compared to them, I think more highly of Vincent! The Ultimate Evil Lord has led all of you to chase after Vincent in the Black Hole World. That was his way of seeking death! I believe that the Ultimate Evil Lord will one day die without any remains left behind. Therefore, if the vampires continue to stay here, they can only die together with the Ultimate Evil Lord!”
Lionel instantly fell into silence. He believed in Justin’s judgment of others, but he still could not believe that Vincent was worthy of Justin’s high evaluation.
Lionel asked, “That Vincent is only a level 50 creature, and both Gajero and the Ultimate Evil Lord are famous top-notch experts in the Black Hole World. Are you sure that Vincent will be able to defeat them in the future?”
Justin nodded and said, “I am absolutely sure! Today, no matter who has the last laugh, be it Gajero or the Ultimate Evil Lord, the remaining individuals will eventually become Vincent’s stepping stones. I believe that Vincent’s future achievements will be limitless, and from the looks of it, neither Gajero nor the Ultimate Evil Lord will have the ability to completely kill him! Although he is still weak, he has very tenacious willpower and the ability to create miracles!”
Justin continued, “As long as you truly understand him, you would find that there is nothing that he cannot do. And as long as it is something that he wants to do, he would definitely achieve it! No matter how absurd and unattainable his goal may seem, Vincent would always be able to complete it in the most resolute and amazing way!”
Lionel took a deep breath and slowly sighed, “Teacher, I have studied with you for so long, but I have never seen you give anyone such high praise before. If that Vincent is really so outstanding, I am willing to listen to your arrangements and let the vampires become allies with the Human Race from now on. We will advance and retreat together!”
Justin nodded and said, “That’s right. Sooner or later, you will understand that the choice I made for you today was extremely wise. Moreover, the day that we dream of is not actually too far away. Perhaps it will be realized soon!”
Lionel nodded and said, “The Vampire Race have been silent in the grief of losing their homes for so long. It’s time to return to the Black Hole World and take back everything we’ve lost! Since teacher doesn’t want to meet the Vampire Race for the time being, then I’ll go and lead everyone away from the capital of Ultimate Evil!”
Without waiting for Lionel to leave, Justin quickly said, “Wait, before I leave, I’ll give you another piece of advice. The Vampire Race should not invade other races in the future. Choose a world without living creatures to settle down in, because Vincent hates invaders!”
Lionel saw that Justin was so concerned about Vincent. He could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. However, in the face of his teacher’s exhortation, he could only obey.
“Teacher, don’t worry. I will remember everything! With me here, I will definitely not let your efforts go to waste!”
Lionel bowed to Justin and said goodbye. He then turned around and walked out of the office.
When the vampire elites gathered downstairs saw Lionel walking out, they immediately surrounded him and asked when they should leave.
Lionel said loudly to the crowd, “From today onward, the life and death of the Ultimate Evil Lord has nothing to do with us! Pass down my order, tell all the vampires to gather their properties. We want to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil and build our own home!”
When all the vampire elites heard this, they were all stunned on the spot and did not come back to their senses for a long period of time.
To every vampire, rebuilding their home was a wish that had been buried deep in their hearts. However, they never dared to express it because they were afraid of experiencing the misfortune of being massacred again.
Nevertheless, since their new leader had taken the initiative to bring it up, all the vampires had no excuse to avoid it. Perhaps all the vampires had long been fed up with living under someone else’s roof.
As long as they could rebuild their home, why should they care about the Ultimate Evil Lord?
“Leader, is what you said true? We are leaving the capital of Ultimate Evil to rebuild our home?”
Lionel nodded and said, “Do you remember the news that I told you previously? That my teacher Justin, is still alive? He has now formed an alliance with Vincent. In the future, the Vampire Race will not only leave the capital of Ultimate Evil to build their own home but also form an alliance with the Human Race to resist the Demon Race together! Since Vincent can resist the invasion of the demons with such weak strength, what reason do we vampires have to not escape the capital of Ultimate Evil and start anew?”
“Our race leader is right. We cannot escape anymore. At most, we will fight to the death with the demons!”
“You are right. We cannot leave any regrets behind for our descendants, and we cannot disgrace our race leader, Justin! If we do not escape today, how can our race leader Justin face Vincent in the future?”
“That’s right. Let’s set off now!”
The vampires were united as one. There was no need for Lionel to waste his breath. They packed up their belongings and headed to the Black Hole of the capital of Ultimate Evil. They headed toward the Black Hole World that they had been unwilling to face for many years.
The capital of Ultimate Evil was just a city. Any slight movement would be known by the entire world in a short period of time.
The departure of the two major races, the Feathered Monster Race and the Vampire Race, quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
Although the troops stationed in front of the Black Hole had received the order that no one was allowed to leave without the permission of the Ultimate Evil Lord, the Ultimate Evil Lord did not have its own personal guard, the troops stationed in the Black Hole only required the major races in the capital of Ultimate Evil to take turns.
Therefore, when the Feathered Monster Race and the Vampire Race decided to leave, no soldiers dared to stop them. They only chose to report the situation to their own race leader as soon as possible.
The team that was in charge of the shift at the moment was the Bards!
Marcus was standing in front of the gate of the base, listening to his subordinate’s report about the Feathered Monster Race and the Vampire Race’s departure. He could not help but fall into silence.
An elite Bard said to Marcus with a face full of joy, “Lord Patriarch, the Feathered Monster Race and the Vampire Race took the opportunity to depart. It’s a great opportunity for us. As long as we go to support the Ultimate Evil Lord in time, we will be respected in the future!”
Marcus said in a deep voice, “Bullsh*t! Do you think that Kaeger and Lionel are fools? If the Ultimate Evil Lord is destined to win, the Feathered Monsters and vampires would have rushed forward to help him! If they leave the capital of Ultimate Evil at this time, it means that they are determined not to return. We must be lacking some information now, which is why are not able to make the same judgment!”
The members of the Bards could not help but look at each other as they listened to Marcus’s analysis. They did not understand what was going on. What other information could cause the Ultimate Evil Lord, who had the absolute advantage, to lose?
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the far side of the street, instantly attracting the attention of all the Bards.
When Marcus raised his head to look, he could not help but blurt out, “Vincent! Why are you here with the demons?”
It was Vincent, along with his two demon bodyguards.
After seeing Marcus’s surprise, Vincent smiled and said, “You are a smart creature. I don’t need to say anything more. I just came from the Feathered Monsters’ base. I believe that you will make the same choice as Kaegar because the Ultimate Evil Lord will definitely lose today. This is what I, Vincent, predict. Believe it or not, it is your choice to make!”
Marcus stood where he was. After remaining silent for more than ten seconds, he said to his subordinates behind him in a deep voice, “Go! Pack your things and leave the capital of Ultimate Evil.. We will never come back!”
