I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 373 - 373 375 The Edge of Dawn After March

?Chapter 373: Chapter 375: The Edge of Dawn After March (Anti-theft Chapter, Do Not Disturb) Chapter 373: Chapter 375: The Edge of Dawn After March (Anti-theft Chapter, Do Not Disturb) This chapter employs anti-piracy measures and will be available for subscription 20 minutes later when at home. Subscribing won’t be affected, and readers can refresh after 20 minutes.

Today, I was cursed out by a friend who reads pirated copies, and it really soured my mood. They feel entitled to everything for free and even have the audacity to complain that the rice I grow is too hard and not to their taste. I don’t even know what to say… When people go shopping, they know they have to pay, so why do they feel that authors don’t have to spend time or effort, as if the words type themselves?

I’m aware that my abilities are limited and that this book has many issues, but it is the result of hard work. I can’t stop piracy, but could you please not insult the author after reading pirated copies?

It really infuriates me.

The anti-piracy chapter will charge for exactly 10,000 characters, and we’ll adjust the count back to — 10600 characters — later. Those who have subscribed will not be at a disadvantage.

Upon hearing this, Lide smiled and turned his gaze to Nicole, who had been pouting next to him without a chance to speak, “Nicole, your turn.”

After being called upon, the young girl instantly perked up, her large eyes twinkling.

“Yes, Lord Kachar~ Sister, dealing with them is simple. We just have to intimidate the Half-Elves so they wouldn’t dare to take action.

When the time comes, we can send the Divine Monster Asreaga to make a round at Black Iron Castle, making them wary and fearful.”

Lide looked at Nicole approvingly, “Intimidation is indeed a tactic, but to effectively use it, you must also offer incentives alongside the threats.

Using powerful forces to threaten Black Iron Castle may be beneficial to us in the short term, but in the long run, it cannot eliminate the roots of future trouble. Instead, it might provoke resistance from them.

On the other hand, if we lure them with benefits during this time, the outcome would be completely different…”

Lide didn’t continue, his dark eyes encouraging the girl to proceed as he looked at her expectantly.

Nicole’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lide, her smile radiant, as she continued the topic.

“For example, we could strengthen our trade cooperation with them, allowing the Half-Elves to reap huge profits from us. Faced with interests, nobody can remain cool-headed. Once they taste the sweet fruits of profit, they might even voluntarily cooperate with our proselytizing.

The specific operation would be to support a few influential Half-Elf factions, making them the biggest beneficiaries, and also help them increase their influence among Half-Elves to counter the dissenters. These people might even eventually become part of our force.”

Nicole’s words greatly pleased Lide. It seemed that his decision to let this young girl gain experience in the City Hall over the past few years was the right one.

“Forfeit small gains to achieve greater ones. This is the basic logic of strategy, and Nicole has done very well.

When the economy of Black Iron Castle is completely tied to us, they will become like the Iron Hoof Tribe, unable to resist the inevitable tide, even if they are reluctant.

At that time, we might even be able to conquer this city without resorting to military force.”

First, pursue economic colonization, then cultivate a large group of pro-self beneficiaries. When the time is ripe for true colonization, the pathfinders can eliminate the opposition for us.

It’s as simple and unadorned as that.

Nicole’s eyes gleamed with admiration, “Your wisdom truly astounds, Your Majesty.”

Harrison and Nicole both nodded in strong agreement.

Lide couldn’t help but smile. Most young men do rather sophomoric things just for such admiration in a girl’s eyes and their words of praise, don’t they?

Thankfully, he was past the age for such folly, but he was still in high spirits.

“Nicole, put the large-scale proselytization in the Underworld on hold for now. We’ll start rolling it out all over in three months.

In these next few months, we have to wage war on Risier City, so we can’t take care of the Underworld.”

After saying this, Lide glanced at Harrison, and the understanding Harrison immediately began to lay out the details about the Divine relic to the two girls.

Eventually, Harrison pondered whether he should just write it down and give a copy to everyone in the upper echelons of Dawn City…

After Harrison finished explaining, Lide continued,

“The Magic Language Bats are inherently despised by the Light Attribute and Nature Sect. If they were to appear, they would likely face a joint siege, so this time, my main goal is to breed a group of Dawn Bats.”

Dawn Bat: Basic Level 10, Mature Body Level 12, Elite Body Level 14, Perfect Body Level 15. Evolution requires the use of a Bronze One-eyed Giant’s Bloodline, 500 points of Power of Faith, and a 30-day evolution period.

This was the breeding method for the Dawn Bat that Lide obtained after cultivating Castro, the Basic King.

Although the Dawn Bat was an advancement from the Magic Language Bat, due to the involvement of Power of Faith and the Bronze One-eyed Giant’s Bloodline during the process, it had already transcended the category of Dark Life.

Fearless of Holy Light and the power of the sun, Dawn Bats could maintain their peak condition even in daylight.

When the Magic Language Bats cannot be deployed, the Dawn Bats are indeed the best choice.

“Majesty, we previously bred about twenty Dawn Bats, which serve as the mounts for the high-ranking officers of the Dawn Wings,” Nicole started, but she did not immediately respond, instead, her eyebrows knitted together slightly.

“Because the consumption of the Power of Faith is too great, we cannot breed them on a large scale.

Now we face the same problem.

Majesty, if we simply want to breed Dawn Bats to replace the Magic Language Bats, I fear the required Power of Faith will be an amount we cannot afford…”

Everyone present was a confidant, and Lide no longer kept them in the dark about the Power of Faith.

But upon hearing these words, he couldn’t help falling silent for a moment.

He had previously planned to breed Dawn Bats, but the biggest problem, as Nicole mentioned, was the consumption of the Power of Faith.

On his attribute panel, he only had 120,000 Power of Faith, with 500 points needed to breed one bat, breeding 100 would require 50,000 points, so he could breed a little over 200 at most.

But a smaller number was better than none, and in the absence of Magic Language Bats, breeding Dawn Bats as substitutes was undoubtedly the best choice.

“Nicole, we need an air force; only with an air force can we maximize the power of alchemical bombs.

Although I’ve arranged for extra preparations in the Alchemy Factory, none can replace the role of an air force.”

The importance of air supremacy had been made clear to him by countless wars on Earth.

And when facing a significant difference in strength between enemies and allies, a powerful air force is absolutely key to victory.

But the identity of the Bloodline must not be exposed; the danger faced after exposure could be ten times greater than not having an air force, so the current choice was also a last resort.

“How much of Castro’s bloodline is stored now?”
