Monster Gacha System: Becoming The Final Boss-Chapter 173 | The Capital Finale Part 1
The True Bloods watched as their capital became a desolate city; eerie silence danced through the alleyways as the cold breeze whispered through the empty streets.
Amongst the millions of vampires that crowded the cityscape, only a couple of dozen thousand remained. And before these brave defenders were monstrous abominations that loomed over the blurred horizon.
"Damn, so are we really fighting against these horrors?"
"There's not much we can do other than buy some time."
"Besides, isn't the progenitor still handling that strong woman?"
The elites of the United Defense Army chattered under the oppressive silence as they gazed upon the marching cataclysms that would trample upon their capital.
They were the last military force of the Clan, besides the local garrisons of the fortress cities. Some could consider them the final, strongest army of the vampires.
Once they fall, the cascading effects would be difficult to ignore. Maybe the Clan would be pushed further south due to the lack of elite military forces.
"Makes me wonder why we even tried pushing into the southern frontiers. The so-called Lord Oberon practically crushed us before we could mount an offensive."
"It's the orders of the True Bloods and the Vampire Progenitor. We grunts only have to not question it and follow it."
"Yeah, but look at our current state now."
The present Clan and the one from a couple of months ago looked radically different. It was comparable to the golden age and dark age of humanity. To think the vampires would descend so deep.
While the elite vampires discussed the current state of the Clan, the True Bloods ignored their chatter and kept watching the marching monstrous abominations.
The doubts about the Clan and the progenitor weren't something they could crush through force anymore. Besides, it wasn't false.
Since that military action to start an invasion of the southern frontiers, the Clan had been flooded with insurmountable losses. Even they couldn't delude themselves that it was worth it for the White Devil anymore.
After all, they could have waited until the rot of the Federation consumes it and becomes the overlords of humanity once again, several decades later. But regardless, some things shouldn't be spoken.
As the last True Bloods of the Clan, they couldn't offer an opinion that could result in the fracturing of the vampires. Besides, they were also worried about the progenitor.
No matter how much time they waited. There were no signs of the progenitor returning to reality. It made them wonder... What exactly happened?
"Duke November, what's the plan?"
Duke August questioned as he stared at the coordinates where the progenitor was last seen. The monstrous abominations were getting closer. They couldn't bide their time anymore.
But they also couldn't abandon the capital.
After all, what if their progenitor returned and found himself surrounded by several monstrous abominations? If they lost their origin, the vampires would be doomed.
It was for this reason that they risked the total annihilation of their last military force. The progenitor was a vital gear of the machine that was the Clan. Without their master, it would collapse.
Who knows what would happen in the far future?
"Delay for as long as possible."
Duke November commanded, frowning as the monstrous abominations got closer. Even if Microcosms were utilized, it wouldn't ensure their victory. Which meant that the only thing they could do was buy time.
"The progenitor must be evacuated. Even if the last military force of the Clan falls, our master is vital for our species."
When Duke August heard of his senior's words, the True Blood could only nod in agreement. Though he couldn't help but present one question.
"What if the last military force and the progenitor fall? Our safety isn't even guaranteed when facing these monsters." It was a simple yet heavy question.
Even Duke November had no answer for it since that would be the worst of circumstances, the conclusion of their species.
The True Blood sighed to himself and glanced at the blurred horizon. He was calculating the cost of his choices, especially when the stakes were high.
Half an hour had already passed, yet there were no signs of the progenitor. Even the Leviathan was soaring across the outskirts of the capital, as though awaiting the arrival of its comrades.
As the marching monstrous abominations got closer, Duke November signaled the elites of the United Defense Army. It was time to give his orders.
The last of the elites within the Clan gazed upon him, preparing themselves to fight until the end. But unexpectedly, the True Blood sighed as his voice echoed through the cityscape.
"Withdraw from the capital."
In terms of assisting the progenitor, the elites would be of no use. Against the monstrous abominations, they were merely bags of meat. For this reason, it was better for the True Blood to stay.
"I'll stay behind and wait for the progenitor. On the other hand, Duke August... You must guide what remains of our military." Duke November glanced at his junior.
It was the only concession he could make without abandoning their master.
Duke August nodded in understanding and looked at the elites behind them. They were the last military force of the Clan. Without these vampires, the Clan wouldn't be able to resist the Federation.
"Understood... Take care, Duke November. Bring back the progenitor." He became a blur and led the elites of the United Defense Army out of the desolate capital
Duke November was left behind, his stance rigid and steady. Patience was his greatest weapon, yet a single minute felt like an eternity to the True Blood.
His crimson gaze narrowed as the marching monstrous abominations got closer than ever before. Once they reached the outskirts of the capital, it was only a matter of time until they trampled the cityscape.
"To think that the end of the Clan's dominion would be a mere decade after the greatest humiliation of the vampires. It seems that we have gotten impatient."
Long ago, before Heaven's Fall, a single decision would have spent decades within their minds. It appears that they have been swept along by humanity's perception of time.
Meanwhile...
Damien watched as the capital became a desolate city. Its streets were empty of anything other than the eerie silence. In half an hour, millions were evacuated from the center of the Clan.
He expected the United Defense Army to fight until the end. However, it seems that some of them still had some sense. Though he was surprised that one of the True Bloods was left behind.
"I guess that True Blood is waiting for the progenitor." It wasn't difficult to guess since the progenitor was vital for a species like the vampires.
After all, he had already seen what would happen if the progenitor died with the lycanthropes. The species would inevitably decline, balancing the playing field that was the New World.
"I guess I'll have to stop here for now." Damien glanced at his status display and wanted to end the operation with the destruction of the capital.
He didn't plan on pursuing the vampires further south. After all, there was no need to corner an entire species. It would be troublesome if something peculiar happened.
"Regardless, however... It looks like the progenitor is fighting for his life." Damien smirked, watching his Terror Points steadily grow.
