I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

When the general returned to report the progress of the transfer to Elizabeth, Eve had already settled Istina and Libel and the others, and returned to Elizabeth to listen to the report with her mother.

"Ah."

After nodding slightly to indicate that she already knew the current situation of the defense line, Elizabeth spoke.

"Eve will take over the command of the Fallen Plains defense line from now on. You will be responsible for assisting her."

"Yes!"

Facing Elizabeth's order, the general answered without hesitation.

"Then it's time for Mother to leave."

"Well, if Mother encounters a demon possessing her will over there, I'll go and help."

"Okay, don't think of your mother as so fragile. It's you, little Eve, who should be paying attention. The situation here shouldn't be that simple."

"Don't worry, mother, I'm fine."

"That's good."

Finally, she smiled at Eve, and Elizabeth's figure disappeared in the light of the teleportation magic.

"call--"

After her mother left, Eve took a deep breath, put on a serious expression and looked at the vampire general Idinas who was waiting on the side.

"Please tell me what the situation is like on the front line now. How many people are left? How long can we hold out if we remain on the defensive?"

"Yes!"

"Currently, only the last three legions remain of the permanent forces stationed in the Fallen Plains. They are insufficient to support our army's active offensive. Maintaining a defensive position with the fortresses, without considering the adjudication battle, is theoretically sufficient to wear down the enemy until Her Majesty returns with the rest of her army. However, due to the human race's deployment of unidentified artifacts, there is a certain degree of uncertainty."

The human race relied on the mobile fortresses built by the war beasts. The blood clan also sent people to test it, but they did not get much useful information. There was no need for the mobile fortresses to take action. The war fortresses alone were often enough to repel the blood clan's scout troops, so the combat effectiveness of those huge mobile fortresses is still a mystery.

"...Okay, let me investigate the mobile fortress."

After thinking about it, Eve didn't think those war machines would be easy to deal with, so it would be better for her to go and check the situation in person during the insurance period.

"! Your Highness, are you going to investigate in person?"

"To be more precise, it's possible that a direct arbitration battle will be held."

After slightly correcting Idina's statement, Eve continued to think about the feasibility of her plan.

If she had directly defeated those powerful human beings halfway, she might have been able to force back the imperial army and avoid casualties on both sides in this war. In theory, this was the most feasible and simplest method.

Otherwise, once the two sides officially engage in battle, large numbers of casualties will be inevitable.

"Your Highness, the enemy's high-end combat power is unknown. Doing this would be extremely dangerous."

After being stunned for a moment by Eve's words, Idina began to advise.

"Although the exact number of people is currently unknown, I presume that all three of the Empire's generals, except for those responsible for defending the Imperial Capital, will be present. Counting the remaining generals who are raiding the enemy lines, you may be facing a siege of ten or more people at once. Furthermore, the Empire may also hire foreign aid from other countries."

"Ten people, two generals, eight generals... That wouldn't be a big problem."

But to Idina's surprise, her words not only did not dissuade Eve from her thoughts, but instead made her more determined to carry out her plan.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being blunt. The powerful human beings who will come to fight are likely to possess the power to restrain the vampires. At least one of the imperial generals is like this. It may be difficult for you to defeat them all. If something goes wrong with you, the blow to the vampires will be huge."

High emotional intelligence: You might have a hard time beating them all.

Low emotional intelligence: You can’t win.

"Is it the great general nicknamed the Second Sun? It doesn't matter. He can't weaken me. The rumors about me not being afraid of the sun are not exaggerated."

Eve said softly, raising her hand slightly to signal Idina that there was no need to worry.

The protagonist of their conversation was the Imperial General, Ferum Adrian. Due to an unknown mutation in his magic, the light magic he wielded possessed the same properties as sunlight, or perhaps an advanced version? Its suppression and killing power against vampires was astonishing, and combined with his weapon spirits, it was even more powerful. This earned him the reputation of the Second Sun, and he usually stationed himself at the Imperial side of the Fallen Plains defense line.

"Even without considering Adrian's existence, there are still many human generals who possess the power to weaken or restrain the vampires. Your Highness, please consider this."

Everything Idina said was true. Since the Empire had long viewed the vampires as imaginary enemies, the talents promoted and trained by the Empire were often those who could restrain the vampires. The generals of the Empire were basically players who specialized in special attacks against the vampires.

There are so many ways to hinder movement, obstruct regeneration, and simulate sunlight to weaken vampires.

Relying on the foundation of the largest empire of the human race and the characteristic of the rapid growth of human power, as long as you are not stupid enough to have no talent at all, your achievements will not be too far behind. Even if you pile up, it is enough to reach the level of legion commander.

"It's okay, this is why Mother asked me to come here."

It is enough to suppress all the high-end combat forces of the entire human race by herself, just like Elizabeth. This is one of the reasons why Eve will take over the defense line of the Fallen Plain.

"...Okay, then please be careful and stay safe, Princess."

"Well, have all divisions prepare for a defensive battle. With the Abyssal Wave as the highest level of early warning for the imaginary enemy, even if I defeat them in the judgment battle, I'm afraid this matter won't end so easily."

"Abyssal Wave?!"

Hearing a familiar term in an unexpected place, Idina's eyes widened in surprise.

Most of the Blood Clan's army had experience defending the Abyss, so they naturally knew what Eve was talking about. But hadn't the Abyss been completely destroyed? How could an Abyssal Tide still appear?

"The strange artifacts used by the human race this time were made by the dwarves, who were supposed to be extinct. Furthermore, the emperor of the empire has had contact with followers of the demon god. My mother and I suspect that the shadow of the abyss will appear here this time. So, don't be careless and be prepared for everything."

"Yes!"

Hearing that there might be an abyss wave or the appearance of demon followers, Idinas became obviously more nervous. Compared with the human race who has never been able to shake the blood clan's defense line, the threat of the abyss is more realistic.

§84 Imperial General

"I didn't expect the vampires to actually withdraw most of their troops."

On the mobile steel fortress, feeling the strong and continuous ultra-long-distance space transmission reaction coming from the distant west, Imperial General Williams narrowed his eyes and said in disbelief.

"With this, it won't be difficult to break through the Tianqian Fortress, especially with this big guy."

Whistling frivolously, Samuel, a rather young, yellow-haired youth, who was also one of the imperial generals, tapped the metal ground under his feet with the soles of his military boots, appearing quite confident.

"It's the Prototype 35741 Mobile City Modified, not this big thing, Samuel. This is the sixteenth time I'm reminding you. If those guys hear what you just said, they'll lose their temper again. It'll be hard to appease them."

A tall woman with smooth blonde hair, Imperial General Friede pointed out.

"Hey, you're still so rigid, little Fred. You won't be popular this way. And wouldn't it be better if you just threw some more wine at those guys and got them drunk?"

Samuel laughed and joked casually as if he didn't take Fred's words to heart at all.

"First of all, I'm your senior by seniority, so you have no right to call me Little Fred. Secondly, I'm very popular. Finally, this fortress may need their maintenance at any time. If a malfunction occurs while they're drunk, causing a delay in the battle, are you brave enough to bear the consequences, Samuel?"

At the end, Fred looked straight into Samuel's eyes and questioned.

Although they are all generals of the empire, Samuel is undoubtedly a newcomer and the youngest of all the generals. It is only because his power has a good effect on the vampires that he has been trained to his current level with a large amount of resources from the empire. If they were to compare their seniority, he would definitely be suppressed by others.

"Ha, what could go wrong? Didn't those guys always boast that their stuff wouldn't break even after a hundred years?"

"But we can't ignore the possibility of accidents! The Empire has been planning for this day for a long time, and there must be no accidents!"

"Ah, ah, I see, I see, you're so slow."

"you!"

Seeing that Samuel still looked so unimpressed, Fred could no longer suppress his anger. A conflict was about to break out between the two, but before that, a majestic voice interrupted and interrupted their actions.

"Okay, let's stop here and stop fighting among ourselves."

The speaker was a tall man who looked to be in middle age, but his graying temples and white stubble on his cheeks suggested that he was not as young as he appeared.

"…Yes."

"Yes, General Adrian."

In response to his words, both the rule-abiding Fred and the frivolous Samuel lowered their heads and dared not say anything. The person who spoke out to stop them was none other than the great imperial general, Felum Adrian, whom Idina was wary of.

"Do you think we'll have the advantage in numbers if the vampire army withdraws?"

Looking at Samuel who lowered his head, Felum's majestic voice echoed in the air.

"Do you think these mobile fortresses can rival the vampires' fortresses?"

"..."

Faced with Felum's questioning, even Samuel did not dare to speak out in response.

"Do you think you are strong now and have restrained the vampires, so you are sure to win?"

At this point, Felum's sturdy body was already standing in front of Samuel, completely covering his figure in the shadow created by his body.

"Look at me! Answer my questions!"

"Yes! That's right!"

Facing Felum's order, Samuel finally raised his head, with a hint of anger and unwillingness in his eyes.

After all, in Samuel's view, he is an absolute star of the human race as he has the strength to become an imperial general at his current age. How could he be defeated by a group of blood-sucking bastards, especially when their army has obtained such a powerful alchemical creation.

Samuel had personally witnessed the power of these alchemical creations. The armor for personal use could greatly increase the strength and defense of the soldiers. Every bombardment of the cannons on the mobile fortress was earth-shaking. Each war fortress was like a tireless artillery position, pouring out firepower without stopping and tearing apart everything in front of it.

The mobile fortress under their feet is even more terrifying. Even tall mountains are as fragile as tofu in front of the main guns of the mobile fortress.

What's more, they have secret weapons that are enough to launch a devastating attack on the vampire fortress on the ground. In the face of death falling from the sky, even if the vampires have the ability to heal themselves, they can only delay the time of their own death.

With the help of these creations and the absolute advantage in numbers, how could they lose!

Why should he be afraid of those bugs that can only suck blood and die when exposed to light!

"very good."

After taking a look at Samuel in front of him, Felum continued.

"Now, put up the strongest defense you can on your face."

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what Ferem meant, Samuel still did as he was told, and the next second...

Snapped--

A crisp and loud slapping sound followed, and half of Samuel's face was swollen, which looked quite funny. His full-strength defense had almost no effect in front of Ferem's palm. If Ferem had not retracted his strength at the last moment, his face would not be just red and swollen, but he would be unable to touch his head, in the physical sense.

"Do you feel it? The difference in power between us? Well, let me tell you, the Blood Queen, or the Demon King as we call her, can do the same thing with ease, and she won't show any mercy. Do you still think this is a simple matter? Answer me!"

“…No, I was just too arrogant.”

After being stunned for a long time by the slap, Samuel lowered his head again and admitted his mistake.

In fact, as the great general of the empire, Felum Adrian had long passed the stage of getting angry easily, and was replaced by a calm and composed attitude.

But faced with Samuel's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, the imperial general became angry for the first time in a long time.

Samuel is young and the hope of the empire's future, but that is also why he feels angry.

Because in a real battlefield, those who underestimate their opponents will often die miserably. This kind of arrogance must never appear in battle.

"Don't be careless until you're sure the Demon King has teleported away. All of the fortresses will rest in place tonight and set off again tomorrow morning. Samuel, reflect on your actions tonight."

"Yes!"

§85 The Last Night

Within the vampire defense line, after finishing her communication with Idinas, Eve chose to delegate most of the power of the entire defense line back to the other party.

Although no one would feel dissatisfied with Eve, the airborne commander-in-chief, due to her status as a member of the vampire royal family and the only princess of the vampire clan, Eve herself knew that she was not familiar with the specific situation of this line of defense, and had no idea where the weak points were and where the enemy might attack first.

Rather than spending a lot of time learning on-site and then forcing command, it would be better to let Idinas and the others be responsible for issuing orders, while she decides the general strategic direction and confronts the strong players in the judgment battle.

After doing all this, Eve found Istina and her group, who were temporarily placed by her near the teleportation point.

In order to get back to Elizabeth as quickly as possible, she had simply arranged for everyone to stay in the nearest empty room, which was not at all a place to stay overnight.

She had also asked Idina to help prepare a new place and was preparing to take everyone there.

However, due to various reasons, only Istina and her friends who were closest to Eve could enjoy the best conditions. The people in Libel's village could only live in places further out.

By the time everyone had finished packing, the sun had already sunk below the horizon, and it was night for the vampires.

In the distance, the Empire's mobile fortress had stopped as early as dusk, apparently planning to make corrections on the spot and continue its advance early tomorrow morning.
