The appearance of a vampire who is suspected as Rozalia le Porte, the 9th vampire queen makes the ReVoid party noisy. It seemed like the creature was really very much feared even by the ReVoid itself. But even so, giving up is not the right choice. However, it is their duty to confront any vampire. And we as a help also can not stay silent, let alone we are quite tied to this city. We're not gonna let this town fall into the hands of vampires.
After that incident, the vampire named Rozalia did not appear again until the morning. It seemed like he had only appeared in one place and happened to meet with Zoe's group. That's good news for us, because with this at least the victims who fell did not increase.
Zoe who was severely injured survived her critical period, although she still could not return to duty due to her injuries. From the story of Zoe who was at the scene at the time, the vampire who attacked them at that time was indeed Rozalia. There was no doubt, Rozalia had indeed really appeared in this city.
For ReVoid, the appearance of Rozalia was a harbinger of a great calamity.
In the morning, we had an impromptu meeting. Of course to talk about the attack the other day. All the higher-ups of ReVoid in the city of Bluelagoon were present, as were all the Magic Assosiation members who served here. This is our first major meeting since helping ReVoid.
"The emergence of Rozalia is no longer a guess. Right now, the vampires have already sent out their ace. Plus they have quite a number of nobles. We lack strength."
"Based on the reports, the number of casualties on our side is quite a lot. If calculated from the previous days, the victim has reached 20 out of 200 people. Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties. So far they're still following our instructions not to leave the house when it gets dark...."
"Vampire nature cannot enter areas that have bright light. Although it was not the sun but they would also feel a little pain if they passed too long with a very bright light. That's pretty good."
"It seems that's not the reason, maybe it's because our guard is tight enough that the vampires can't enter the residential area."
"Ordinary lights can't hurt a vampire. Putting up a barrier made of silver is what makes them reluctant to enter the house."
Sunlight and also the precious metal of pure silver. Those two things are something that vampires are so afraid of. Therefore ReVoid put a kind of barrier on each side of the building inhabited by residents. Around the tent area are also planted some pillars made of pure silver, the goal is that no vampires enter this area.
"Despite that, there's no guarantee that silver has much effect on vampire queens. Vampires of the same rank have a resistance to silver, although they can't really stand it, but at least it won't hinder their movement."
"It looks like we need to change the formation in each district...."
"No, for a while we'll keep moving in this formation. But make sure each group keeps each other informed of the condition at all times."
In the end, we moved back in small groups like before. It seems the chairman thinks that currently facing vampires with larger groups will only increase the level of danger.
Day by day passed. And just like that heart, victims from our side sprang up. Every day, nearly 5 ReVoid men are killed under similar circumstances. Rozalia killed them all.
The longer the victims, the more victims. It has been 4 days, the death toll has reached 20 more people. And all of them were killed by the same vampire, Rozalia. Enough with this uncertain situation. We need to take action immediately.
Once we had a meeting attended by the Reigns and Magic Knights. It's time for a serious meeting to decide our next fate.
"We really lack strength. So far, the recorded casualties have reached 50." Said Kallen. "currently from our side who can still fight only about 150 people."
"Chairman, can't we ask for additional Reign help?" Kate's proposal. "At least call the twins here."
"They're both currently facing vampires popping up in the kingdom. We can't make them leave that job." Said Mr. Vestine.
"Shiki's right, we need to find another way." Kayn.
"Why don't we ask the other Magic Knights for help?" Elie who previously only listened also gave his proposal.
"That's all I've taken care of, it's just that there's some constraint in that." Answer Mr. Vestine.
"Magic Association cannot enter the city without the written permission of the government. That's why Uncle Oliver can't send more people...." Continue me. "Even at a time like this, they still doubt us. Really sucks those nobles...."
"Then what should we do?"
Mr. Vestine was silent for a moment, thinking of a way out for this matter. Previously, they had thought that deploying large numbers of troops would only make it easier for the vampires. That was because Rozalia's Blood Sacrified was able to kill dozens of people in a single strike. If we deal with it in large numbers, they'll just be a mash-up and a Rozalia dinner. But if it continues like this, the guard will be weakened due to the number of troops that are getting smaller.
"Looks like we need to try it...."
Mr. Vestine who had been silent since thought started talking. He then let out a heavy sigh, indicating that this was a heavy and risky decision.
"We will move in a team of 5 people. Each group was led by a Reign and a Magic Knight. In total there will be about 9 groups each guarding a different district."
"Wait a minute, chief, that's dangerous! That formation will only make our guard decrease!" Shiki Protest.
"Shiki's right, is there no other way?"
"Since Rozalia's appearance, didn't you realize anything?" Ask Mr. Vestine. "In addition to Rozalia, no vampires have appeared in the city...."
Thas right. During these 4 days I have not met a single Vampire. Other groups are experiencing the same thing. The only vampire to appear was Rozalia.
"It looks like Rozalia intends to reduce our numbers so that his troops can easily enter the city. If we expand the guard, the strength of the group will get smaller and that makes them the target of Rozalia. Therefore we will make a larger group led by our dignitaries."
"Are you sure that Rozalia, who is the queen of vampires, would do something as troublesome as this?" Ask Kayn. "As far as I'm concerned, vampires have high self-esteem and are reluctant to do troublesome things if they don't provide personal benefits to them...."
"No, Rozalia didn't do it just to make his army easier. He also seeks human blood to replenish his energy. There's no way Rozalia's resisting the temptation of fresh human blood she likes so much, right?"
"Chairman is right, after all he's the most greedy. Surely he will take this opportunity...."
There seems to be no other way to deal with it. If vampire specialists were to use this kind of risky formation, there should be no other choice, right? We should try it.
"Alright, it looks like we can accept this decision." I said, then looked at Kayn, Elie and the others.
"I agree. Give us orders, Mr. Vestine." Kayn.
