Chapter 7: Intimidation
Li De pondered for a moment before making a decision.
It will definitely not work if the blood clan continues to develop so roughly.
There are still three years before the arrival of the player, and if the unscrupulous predation of human beings is carried out, the group of natural disasters will definitely be excited to kill the blood clan one by one.
Besides, he's not a pervert, and he can't get through that hurdle in his heart if he lets the blood clan hunt people like this.
Both public and private blood clans must change now.
In the human world, even the king of a country may not be able to make any major changes to his country...... The aristocracy and vested interests will resist in the most vehement way.
Thankfully, he is the ancestor of the Bloodline, and the Bloodline has absolute loyalty to him, so it is not difficult to make a change.
"Otis, tell all the people to come to the council hall"
Otis bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes, Father"
Father, the corners of Li De's mouth twitched fiercely when he heard this title.
Otis is a bloodline developed by Li De himself and belongs to the second-generation blood family.
There are only seven second-generation bloodlines in the entire castle, and the other bloodlines are all developed from these seven second-generation bloodlines.
There's nothing wrong with Otis calling him his father, but looking at the face that is close to forty, Li De still complains secretly.
Brush~
There was a bat flying, and Otis went down to inform him.
Li De didn't want to stay on the city wall for long, so he turned into a swarm of bats and flew directly to the hall in the center of the castle with his memory.
Flying through the open semicircular archway, the hall is magnificent, with stained glass windows depicting creation myths and blood heroes.
Skin-textured figure sculpture with bat wings and Bloodline's signature fangs.
Wild reliefs depict all kinds of terrifying monsters, and even a lifelike fire-breathing dragon is carved on the top of the hall.
The hall smells like a Western-style church all around.
On the main seat in the center, the bat disappeared, and Li De's figure appeared.
Looking at the exquisite architecture and decoration around me, my eyes flashed with appreciation.
A vampire known for his elegance, the setting here is much more extravagant than his mage tower.
Antique utensils, artistic statues, hand-painted paintings and even carpets are all very exquisite.
Just as Li De was curiously looking at the various oil paintings in the hall, the sound of wings stirring sounded.
The blood clans in the hall continued to appear, and in less than ten minutes, all the blood clans in the ancient castle came.
The 200 people in the wide hall did not seem crowded, and the crowd was elegant in every move, the men were handsome and graceful, and the women were elegant and polite.
Although Li De remembers this kind of scene, he is still in a good mood now when he sees so many handsome guys and beauties with full appearance.
Sure enough, appearance is justice, pleasing to the eye.
And the blood clan below looked at Li De on the main throne, and their eyes were full of respect and worship.
The coercion of the bloodline made them respectful, and Li De's own strength made them worship.
The seven middle-aged men and women at the front took two steps forward.
With the blood clan in the rear, they all bowed to Li De, who was sitting on the main seat in the center.
"Good night, Patriarch"
Li De stood up and nodded slightly below with the arrogant posture of the ancestor of the Blood Clan.
After everyone straightened up, he said slowly.
"I've called you today to discuss the future of our Bloodline."
As soon as these words came out, the blood clans below immediately froze, and they all looked at Li De with curiosity in their eyes.
On weekdays, Li De is already obsessed with studying magic, and rarely pays attention to the internal affairs of the blood clan.
It was the first time in decades that all the blood clans had been summoned to gather in such a solemn manner.
Dios was the first to respond.
"Patriarch, please speak"
His face was a little serious, and in front of other blood clans, he rarely called Li De his father directly.
Although the other second-generation bloodlines were also a little curious about Li De's actions, they all followed suit.
"Under the crown of the ancestors, you don't need to scruple"
"Father's ......"
As the ancestor of the blood clan, these are his descendants, and Li De has absolute authority within the blood clan.
Even if they ordered 200 men to attack Green City, which had tens of thousands of troops, they would not hesitate in the slightest.
Li De was very satisfied with the reaction of these blood clans.
"It seems that I still underestimate the weight of my blood ancestor's identity in the blood clan"
After a moment of silence, he said in a solemn tone.
"My children, my bloodline, do you know that the bloodline is about to be destroyed and die"
Destruction and death?
Cold words sent waves through the hall.
This?
Otis looked at Li De with a surprised face, and there was a thick puzzle in his blue pupils.
The blood clan is hidden deep in the hidden distant mountains and mountains, and its own strength is not weak, plus with the blessing of Li De, the powerful ancestor of the blood clan, who can destroy the current blood clan?
Only the army of Grimm City in this vicinity dared to say this sentence because they were afraid, he thought, could it be that the army of Grimm City had already discovered traces of the blood clan?
Otis thought of this finger trembling slightly, he did not directly participate in the war between the Blood Clan and Green City a hundred years ago, but he witnessed the tragic situation of the last battle.
"Patriarch, please let us know why"
Although the blood clan in the hall was a little shocked and incredulous, no one dared to question it.
Because these are the words of their master, the ancestor of the Bloodline, if it were a different person, they would have torn him apart long ago.
Li De's handsome face was covered with coldness.
"Lucy, tell me how many humans our blood clan has taken from the vicinity of the distant mountains and mountains in the past ten years."
Lucy, a level 9 mage, is the youngest of the seven existing second-generation bloodlines of the Bloodline...... He was just over 100 years old.
Lucy stood up from the midst of the seven, her long purple dress dragging on the floor, full of classical charm.
A beautiful blonde hair contrasts with a purple dress, and his appearance in his early thirties has a strong aristocratic charm in his every move, and his appearance is extremely high.
Although there was a little puzzlement in the beautiful turquoise eyes, he still answered Li De's question seriously.
"Father, since the Bloodline stopped developing bloodlines under your orders twenty years ago, the number of humans we plundered each year has been fixed.
In the past ten years, the Holy Race has needed nearly three thousand humans for food every year."
Three thousand per year, thirty thousand in ten years.
Li De's face was a little unnatural when he heard this data and said it from the mouth of the bloodline below.
After coming into contact with these people, he couldn't take these living people as NPCs in the game.
Everyone is flesh and blood and has a soul of their own.
More than 30,000 people have become food in their mouths, even if it has nothing to do with him, but their hearts are still affected a lot.
And there's also the fact that this group of bloods doesn't seem to know how to continue to develop.
After plundering human beings, they are just used as food, without realizing that human beings themselves can create value, and there is no concept of sustainable development at all.
It's like going outside to catch hundreds of chickens, but you don't know that the chickens are laying eggs, and you kill them all, which is a huge waste of resources.
The Bloodlines must change.
"Yes, that's why the nobles of Green City and the magicians of the Wizards' Guild have noticed our traces.
I have even received the news that Greentown is ready to send an army to encircle and suppress us, just like the war a hundred years ago. ”
Wow~
There was an uproar.
No one doubted that Li De's words were false, and the originally peaceful blood clan immediately became noisy.
Everyone knew that once the army of Green City really advanced into the distant mountains, it would be impossible for them to stop it.
A hundred years ago, although most of the blood clans here had never experienced it, after word of mouth, no one wanted to experience the feeling of being surrounded and suppressed by tens of thousands of troops at one time.
After Li De finished speaking, his eyes were full of coldness, and his expression was indescribably solemn.
Regardless of the already somewhat flustered Bloodclan below, continued.
"Greene City has an army of more than 50,000 people, including 20 high-level mages and 3 archmages."
"If they lock our tracks, there is no way for the castle to stop their attack"
Even the seven second-generation bloodlines couldn't help it when they heard this.
Otis was the most anxious, and hurriedly asked loudly.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?"
Li De did not answer directly, and still said in an unhurried but extremely oppressive tone.
"It's much more than that, even Locke Hart, the transcendent mage in Grimm who personally participated in the war against the Bloodlines a hundred years ago, is already aware of our presence."
"To live or to perish"
"Death or Rebirth"
"We are about to face a choice"
