American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 116 Muhammad's Helplessness

boom!

He forcefully swept the utensils off the table and onto the ground, then abruptly rose from his throne.

"Your Highness the Sultan..."

At that moment, the attendant in the hall knelt on the ground with a look of terror on his face. He knew why the Sultan was so angry.

"How did that guy manage to influence the Turkish army on its own soil?"

Muhammad roared hoarsely. He could hardly believe that not only had his army been won over by Lin Jue, the renowned Duke of Eternal Night, but his own army, far away on his homeland, had also been infiltrated by that guy's influence.

It is ridiculous that the Sultan of Türkiye could not quickly mobilize his troops from his own country.

"Your Majesty, according to our preliminary assessment, it is General Rus, whom you recalled to the country two years ago. He has been misled by the Grand Duke of Yongye at some point and has been cultivating his own power base over the past two years. The moment we received the transfer order, many Turkish generals were already divided into two factions. Because of his interference, the generals who are on your side are unable to respond to Your Majesty's call in a short period of time!"

"These useless people... I'll go there myself!"

Under the astonished gazes of his attendants, Muhammad strode down from the royal palace and soon led the remaining loyal guards toward his capital.

However, his move soon reached Lin Jue's ears.

The guard with bloodshot eyes quietly leaned close to Lin Jue's ear and whispered the news from his spies there.

"Ancestor, that damned human dared to plot against you and even wanted to taint your country. Should we...?"

The guard made a throat-slitting gesture, his face ruthless. In his eyes, Muhammad was just a mortal who dared to defy the will of God!

"Sigh, what do you mean 'my country'... Oh well, he's just an insignificant guy. I never really cared about him anyway, so let him be!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Lin Jue smiled. Muhammad had been wary of Lin Jue's power long before he became famous throughout the army, and had him removed from the army early on. But he never expected that he would be the first to convert those generals in the army.

General Ruth, who was released, was the first general to fight alongside Lin Jue.

"Muhammad has completely forgotten your kindness; you even spared him, yet he still plots against you in secret!"

Maurice swallowed unconsciously, wanting to drain the man who dared to harbor ill intentions towards his master, completely forgetting that he was supposed to be Muhammad's capable general.

Under the subconscious influence of his bloodline, his subjective consciousness, influenced by Lin Jue's intentional or unintentional suggestions, had long since become a different person.

The same applies to Ruth.

Lin Jue didn't want Muhammad, who liked to cause trouble, to affect his current plans.

"Hehe, it's alright, let him go back. Ruth won't let me down!"

Lin Jue smiled slightly. Having been familiar with the original Dracula movie, he knew what kind of person this Sultan was. He didn't even spare Vlad, who was his comrade-in-arms and a brother, let alone himself, whom he had pulled out of the arena.

As early as the first time he sent troops to test the vampires of Broken Tooth Mountain, Lin Jue realized that the situation had changed drastically and took the lead in spreading his bloodline.

Just as Rus was being sent back to his country by the Sultan, Lin Jue's influence naturally extended to the Turkish capital.

Soon, the Sultan will discover that even if he returns to Türkiye, he will not be able to change the Turkish dynasty that he has divided and is on the verge of collapse.

In fact, Lin Jue had no interest in the power of the dynasty in the first year of Dracula's reign. However, in order to avoid being ganged up on, he still managed to maintain some control over his own forces. Even if all the generals and soldiers who followed him perished, Lin Jue would not even blink an eye.

As for the chaos of the Turkish dynasty, Lin Jue was even more dismissive. As for Rus, he only strictly ordered him with the true words not to release his bloodline at will. He had no intention of seizing the throne, but only hoped that the Sultan would be sensible and not affect his next actions.

Under Vlad's personal invitation, Lin Jue led his attendants to his castle.

Amidst singing, dancing, fine wine, and delicious food, Lin Jue looked at Vlad, who was sitting in the lower seat, and couldn't help but marvel that this powerful prince from the movie had actually invited him to the main seat.

"Thank you for your generous assistance, Your Excellency Grand Duke of Eternal Night!"

Vlad lowered his gaze and raised a glass of wine to Lin Jue from afar.

The main reason he adopted such a humble posture was because Lin Jue's army was pressing in, and knowing he was powerless to resist, he could only hope to rely on past friendships and expect Lin Jue not to harm him.

At the same time, they had already clashed, and Vlad certainly knew that Lin Jue's strength far surpassed his own, making him a true war god. Whether considering the current situation or his past admiration, Vlad had no psychological burden about making this concession.

"Ha ha, Vlad! It's been so many years, why do we seem so estranged!"

Lin Jue downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and after watching Vlad finish his drink, the two exchanged a smile.

Vlad felt a sense of relief as he looked at Lin Jue, who was smiling and hadn't said a word about his country.

After all, Lin Jue had directly stripped Muhammad of all his troops, so it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't set his sights on his small territory.

"I'm only interested in the source of evil, and you, my friend, don't mistake me for that Muhammad fellow. I'm sure you've received hints from his henchmen before, haven't you?"

"Yes, he wants to recruit 1000 children in my country!"

"What?"

"I won't let my child go!"

Upon hearing this, Vlad's generals in the hall roared in fury, but then realized that the people sitting at the opposite table were former generals of Muhammad. Their faces turned pale, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy.

"Don't worry, that guy is too busy taking care of himself right now, and I would never make things difficult for my friend!"

Lin Jue's smile faded, replaced by a solemn expression, which relieved Vlad and his attendants. They then glanced at the generals who belonged to Lin Jue, who sat across the table, all of them with smiles and goodwill.

Lin Jue's descendants also extended goodwill, as this was an order given to them by their ancestor.

After a brief exchange of heartfelt words, Vlad solemnly recounted to Lin Jue his experience of leading his soldiers on a reconnaissance mission.

"Thank goodness you didn't get caught by that thing; he's been eyeing you for ages!"

"What?"

Vlad looked at Lin Jue, who seemed to be implying something, with a puzzled expression.

"That guy needs a successor to help him get out of this mess, and you could say you're the most suitable candidate he thinks he should be!"

Vlad suddenly stood up from his seat, staring intently at Lin Jue, who seemed serious.

"Lin...you've been spying on me?"

"Surveillance? No, rather than surveilling you, I've been surveilling that guy all along!"

Lin Jue thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Vlad had indeed been to that cave long ago and witnessed the vampire, even before the outbreak at the vampire's lair!
