I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

§81 Judgment Battle

"And then there's Tina."

After assigning the responsibilities to Melcia and Firiel, Eve looked in the direction of Istina again.

"I will definitely follow you, brave sir. Don't think of asking me to stay alone. I am now strong enough to participate in the Judgment Battle."

Before Eve could speak, Istina spoke first.

"Well, I don't plan on letting Tina leave. But, does Tina want to put on some disguise or something? Maybe someone in the Empire will remember what you look like."

When Eve was still a hero, she and Istina had come into contact with some imperial people, and their status was not too low. It was very likely that some of them would appear in the conversation between the two sides before the war. Considering Istina's future reputation and the possibility that the other party might associate it with her own identity, Eve made this proposal.

"Disguise?... Yeah... That's true. I'll be careful."

"That's good. Next is Lucia."

After reminding Istina to remember her disguised identity, Eve looked at the last person in the room, Lucia, the only one who hadn't reacted to what had happened.

At this moment, Lucia saw Eve looking at her and tilted her head in confusion, which looked quite cute.

"Sister Eve, why are we suddenly back at your house?"

"Well... for various reasons, I can't go to the capital for the time being. As for Lucia, what will happen next..."

"At once?"

Eve got stuck midway through her speech and seemed hesitant.

Honestly, Eve had a bit of a headache about Lucia's arrangement. Although only the Empire had officially declared war on the vampires, several other human forces would certainly be involved. It was not certain whether they would send support, but help in terms of resources would definitely be indispensable.

In other words, the situation within the entire human race will not be peaceful for a long time to come.

Under this background, Eve actually didn't want to send Lucia back to the Church, especially since her mother suspected that the Demon God's followers would cause trouble.

However, bringing Lucia to a place like the vampire front line is somewhat inappropriate, inappropriate in every sense of the word.

"Nuuu… Never mind. Never mind all that."

After hesitating for a long time, Eve finally scratched her hair in annoyance and chose to follow her own ideas.

"Lucia, why don't you just stay with Sister Eve?"

"Ok!"

"Is it alright, Master Brave?"

"Well, the situation on the human side isn't looking too good either. It's better for her to stay with us. We can keep her at the rear and prevent her from coming into contact with other vampires besides Libel and the others."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that Eve was going to ask people from Libel's village to accompany Lucia, Istina finally felt relieved.

"Finally, Dier."

"Lord."

As Eve finished speaking, a purple-black butterfly appeared at her fingertips, then flew up and transformed into the figure of a young girl in the light, bowing slightly to Eve.

"Die'er, how many clones can you create while ensuring you have a certain level of strength?"

The strength of Dier's clones is a rather Schrodinger matter, mainly depending on how many clones she has created.

If she only had one body, Dier's strength would be enough to rank among the top people in the continent, slightly weaker than Elizabeth but on par with the patriarchs of most races.

On the contrary, if the maximum number of individuals is reached, the strength of each butterfly will be only slightly greater than that of a military squad leader, but the combat effectiveness will be far stronger than that of an army of the same strength.

After all, the degree of tacit cooperation between Die'er's clones and the compatibility of their strength are something that no army can match. If group magic is used, then this Die'er army can also launch terrifying attacks as a single body.

"Hmm...about 4,000. Their strength is equivalent to that of a legion commander in the army."

"Legion Commander... That's enough. From now on, the roaming support work will be handed over to Die'er."

"Yes, my lord."

At this point, we have to explain the regulations on war on the mainland, or the rules that everyone tacitly follows.

Because on the mainland, the top powerhouses have too terrifying suppression power over ordinary people, and it is a completely one-sided massacre. If both sides allow this kind of combat power to act at will, then the final result will only leave the top powerhouses of both sides alive and the post-war mess, and the lower-level combat power will be completely wiped out, which is not a good result for both sides.

Therefore, wars on the mainland have a default rule, that is, the upper level decides the outcome, and the lower level kills the enemy, commonly known as the arbitration war.

Simply put, the high-end combat forces of both sides enter the demiplane created by both parties to fight, and the outcome of the battle will determine the final outcome of the war. During this period, the remaining combat forces of both sides will hedge against each other to maximize the killing of each other's vitality.

However, once the duel between high-end combat forces is over, no matter what the situation is below, the losing party in the arbitration battle must stop immediately, otherwise the high-end combat forces of the winning party will have the right to attack these lower-level combat forces.

There is no requirement for the number of people in the high-end combat showdown, but there is a requirement for strength. For the human race, only those above the general level can take action. If one side cannot produce enough combat power, it must be prepared to face a just group fight.

During a duel, the disadvantaged party can choose to withdraw from the battle by voluntarily surrendering, but it doesn't have much effect. Unless you choose to abandon your own army, the opponent only needs to take the initiative to attack to force you to fight a judgment battle again. All general judgment battles are to the death.

As for what to do if you don't have high-end combat power? Then quickly order the army and the people to retreat, and quickly find a backer, a big thigh, and ask the other side to send foreign aid, otherwise you will be completely occupied.

The reason why the empire, despite its great desire to expand westward, dared not take any action was precisely this - all the high-end combat forces of the entire empire combined were not enough to defeat Elizabeth.

Combined with the fortifications built by the vampires on the Plains of the Fallen, the army below was completely unable to achieve any results and could only retreat in disgrace after the high-end combat forces decided the outcome.

The timing of the empire launching the war this time was an incredible coincidence. Just as the Far Western Front was in crisis and Elizabeth was needed to take most of the troops of the Fallen Plain to support it, the empire announced the start of the war. Eve didn't believe that there was no trick involved.

Tsk, this guy, the Emperor of the Empire, is really a worry.

If I get a chance, I must have a good talk with him about life and teach him which forces can be united and which forces should not be touched at all.

"Okay, let's pack up and set off to the Fallen Plain."

Shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts in her mind, Eve clapped her hands to put an end to this pre-war duty allocation.

§82 Arrival at the Front

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot."

When Eve packed her luggage and prepared to leave her room, she suddenly stopped, as if she remembered something she had not done yet.

"Hmm? What's wrong, brave man? Did you forget something?"

"Ah, no, no, I didn't forget anything, I just forgot to change my clothes."

As she spoke, Eve waved her fingers to draw a magic circle for changing clothes, preparing to change out of the casual clothes she was wearing.

As the magic circle passed through Eve's body from top to bottom, countless dazzling spots of light scattered everywhere, and Eve's clothes also changed accordingly.

On the fair neck, a black necklace was inlaid with a bright red blood star diamond. A shirt as deep as the night wrapped around the girl's delicate body, and then turned into a luxurious dress at the girl's slender waist. On the black gauze, countless tiny gems sparkled with dazzling light, emitting light like stars in the sky.

The hem of a bright red windbreaker that almost drags on the ground is worn over the skirt, which makes the girl look more noble and majestic.

Eve's slender white arms were covered with a layer of red and black armor that reflected a cold light. Her slender fingers were covered with sharp claws, announcing to everyone that the girl in front of them was not a young lady attending a dinner party, but a blood princess who was about to step onto the battlefield.

"Okay, we can go now."

After glancing up and down at her current appearance, Eve nodded with satisfaction and pretended to push open her door and walk out. But strangely, Eve did not hear the footsteps of others following her, which made her look back into her room.

"What's wrong? Why are you all stunned?"

"Eh? Ah! Um... nothing, I just think Eve's current look is very refreshing."

With a slightly red face, Istina couldn't help but look away.

"Hmm, hmm, Eve is very attractive now."

Melxia beside her also nodded in agreement.

"Is that right?"

After taking another look at herself, Eve tilted her head in surprise. This contrast doubled her charm.

"Yeah! Sister Eve is very handsome."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment~ But..."

Eve changed the subject and continued.

"Let's get going now. We need to get there as soon as possible."

"Ah."

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

When they saw Elizabeth, Libel and others at the teleportation array outside the imperial city, Elizabeth had already changed into a military uniform that was 70% similar to Eve's, but Elizabeth's aura was obviously much calmer than Eve's.

"Are you all packed? It's time to leave."

"Yeah, no problem."

"Then, 'Teleport to the Fallen Plain'."

As Elizabeth finished speaking, accompanied by the light of teleportation magic, everyone's feet felt lighter. When they could see everything clearly again, they had already arrived at the Land of the Fallen, which was located at the border between the vampires and the human race.

The Land of Falling is a plain area between the Blue Sky and Broken Mountains. It is so flat that it seems as if it had been cut by a knife.

It is said that the Blue Sky and the Broken Mountains in the south were once connected, almost spanning the north and south of the continent, but due to the battle between the holders of the holy weapons and the demons, such a plain was cut out of it.

Since the human race is located in the southeast corner of the continent, it faces the sea on the southeast and the northwest, with the Broken Mountains and the Sana Hills respectively. The Broken Mountains even have a Warcraft Forest on the side close to the human race. Therefore, the Fallen Plain is the only passage for the human race that allows a large number of troops to quickly reach the outside world.

The Land of the Fallen was not originally called the Land of the Fallen, but after the human race attempted to violate the rules and forcibly use their numerical advantage to attack the defenses of the vampires, which provoked the vampire queen to take action, the original name of this place was forgotten by people, and it was called a new name instead - the Land of the Fallen.

As for the reason, under the lush grass on this plain, the white bones record everything that happened in the past. The westward expansion of the human race and even the strong men of that generation were all destroyed here. The blood and corpses dyed the entire plain red. Since then, it took the human race several generations to slowly recover its vitality.

At that time, due to the death of a large number of powerful people, the human race was forced to shrink the size of towns in order to better resist the harassment of monsters or wild beasts.

Perhaps it is because the grasslands of that generation drank in blood, and even today the grasslands of the Fallen Plain still carry an indelible ominous dark red.

It was also since then that the human race has never launched any full-scale military attack on the Fallen Plain like today. They have always been sending teams of brave men to try to decapitate the Blood Queen, and occasionally sending harassing teams.

But unfortunately, since then, Elizabeth has risen rapidly and strived to become one of the three poles of the continent, and the brave team has never been able to make any waves again. As a result, the human race has been completely locked on this land, although this blockade can actually be regarded as a kind of protection.

After all, the human race is the best troop pool for the abyss. In the era when the abyss was widely distributed, if the human race was released, it would definitely become the main target of the abyss.

The abyss located in the human territory, which has always remained calm, is an exception and cannot be used as an example.

Back to the present, when Elizabeth and Eve emerged from the teleportation, the vampire generals here had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess."

Seeing the two figures in the lead, everyone lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to look directly at their faces.

"Mother, I'll go arrange accommodation for Tina and the others first."

"Ah."

After nodding slightly to allow Eve to take the others away first, Elizabeth looked at the people in front of her.

"Are the preparations for transmission complete?"

"It's ready and ready to start."

"Okay, let's get started now."

But faced with Elizabeth's order, the general in charge of the Fallen Plains was somewhat hesitant.

"Your Majesty, if we really send so many troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the human attack. Moreover, this time they have also used many unprecedented creations to attack."

"It's okay, just trust Eve."

"…Yes!"

Seeing that Elizabeth had made her decision, the general stopped trying to persuade her and immediately began to pass down orders. The behemoth of the Fallen Plains Defense Line also woke up as the orders were issued.

On the distant horizon, mobile fortresses made of metal are advancing towards the vampire defense line. The real war is about to begin.

§83 Plan

"Your Majesty, the 1st to 7th Divisions on the Fallen Plains Front have completed their transport and arrived safely at the Far West Front. The 8th, 9th, and 10th Divisions have taken over the defense, but due to insufficient manpower, they can only maintain minimal defense."
