I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

§123 The Problem of Lawless Land

Today is the day when the Empire marches westward to attack the Land of the Fallen, but unlike the human race who are overjoyed in the rear, the leaders of the forces closest to the Land of the Fallen, the mood is extremely bad.

After all, their location determines that if the vampires want to settle accounts with the empire, they must pass through here, unless the vampires use magic to teleport their troops in the same way as the empire.

But there is no large plain like the Fallen Plains on the border of the empire for the vampires to deploy their troops, so this possibility has been directly eliminated.

And if the vampires want to attack the empire, then the vampire army will have to pass through the lawless land.

They couldn't say what would happen then.

It's not that they are worried that the vampires will kill them. Since they often do dirty work and have private contact with the vampires, they naturally know that the vampires' style of doing things is quite different from what the empire promotes. At least not all vampires are hostile to humans.

Some of them are truly non-hostile, while others simply don't bother to be hostile.

But the problem is that even if they have no hostility, if someone is so foolish as to provoke them, they will not tolerate you and will let you see the vampires' methods in every minute.

And the crux of the problem lies here - they cannot control the people below them, at least not completely.

No matter how strict their orders are, the guys below will definitely make concessions when carrying them out.

After all, everyone has some rebellious nature, especially these people here, who are even more rebellious. The more you forbid me, the more I want to try it.

Perhaps once an order is given, some people who originally had no intention of getting involved will choose to try to attack the vampire army, and then die after trying, and then the leaders of these forces will probably be implicated and die as well.

Naturally, these leaders, who had worked so hard to climb to this position, were unwilling to accept this outcome, hence today's meeting.

bump--

A ferocious-looking guy slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily.

"Damn, those guys from the Empire are so quick!"

This time the Empire's war against the vampires was extremely swift. The Emperor of the Empire had just issued a declaration of war, and then the Empire's army had deployed to the Fields of the Fallen through teleportation magic. Today they were about to enter the vampire defense line and officially start fighting.

Even for such a big thing, their intelligence network, which they were so proud of, couldn't even find any clues. By the time they reacted, everything was over.

They had no hope that the imperial army could defeat the blood clan. After all, they were the human force closest to the blood clan, and their secret intelligence network also communicated with other foreign races. Naturally, they were different from ordinary human civilians and knew very well what the blood clan's strength was.

The strongest among the demon forces, the power of this clan alone is enough to be compared with the beast clan and the elf clan.

The Blood Queen's strength is unrivaled on the continent, and she has intimidated the human army for hundreds of years, preventing them from taking any action.

I also heard that in the past two years, a mysterious vampire princess appeared in the vampire clan, and her strength is said to be not to be underestimated.

If the human race were to unite and launch a large coalition, there might still be some uncertainty if the Pope of the Holy Kingdom was also called upon. Otherwise, in their view, it would be impossible for the Empire's million-strong army alone to break through the defense line of the Fallen Plain.

"I have some information here."

The old man in charge of the empire's internal intelligence deployment interrupted the conversation with a grim expression.

The Empire's actions were like a slap in the face to him. It would be strange if he had a good expression now.

"It's said that the Blood Clan transferred most of the defenders of the Fallen Plains for some reason. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but judging by yesterday's situation and the Empire's actions, it seems to be true. I just didn't expect the Empire to act so quickly."

"Huh? How did the Empire know about the deployment of the vampire army? Do they have such ability?"

"I don't know. Perhaps the Empire is collaborating with the mysterious force that led away the vampire army."

The old man continued in a deep voice, tapping the table lightly with his index finger.

"Huh—do you know what kind of force the other party is?"

Holding a slender dry pipe in her hand, a seductive woman in scantily clad clothes asked leisurely as she blew out a puff of smoke.

"I'm not completely sure. They're very secretive about the force and refuse to reveal it at all, but it should be that force."

With a frown on his face, the old man answered vaguely, but everyone present understood what he meant.

In recent years, a mysterious force has often appeared in the intelligence exchanges between the lawless land and foreign races, but those foreigners are unwilling to reveal any information to them.

Later in their investigation, they discovered that this force also had contact with the Empire and the Kingdom of Wealth. What made them even more terrified was that there seemed to be many of their people in the Lawless Land. The forces under several of them were almost infiltrated like a sieve.

Even stranger things followed. For some unknown reason, that force had no desire to have any contact with them, the local tyrants in the lawless land. They had clearly infiltrated every aspect of the lawless land, but they ignored them, as if they only wanted to be a local tyrant in secret.

In desperation, they could only choose to strengthen the control over their subordinates. After all, considering the extent of the enemy's infiltration into the lawless land, it would be a complete dream to completely eradicate them.

Although this feeling of being unable to control everything made these leaders of various forces feel extremely uncomfortable, the situation was stronger than people, and they could only choose to endure it for the time being.

To put it bluntly, apart from their forces, 80% of the next-level forces in the Lawless Land are under the control of the other party.

If the other party wants to do that, they can just send a few people to overthrow them and take over the lawless land.

Moreover, those guys would not try to stop the conflict between their own forces, and would not interfere even if they wanted to destroy each other. If it were not for the various traces pointing to these forces, they would probably not suspect anything about it.

"So, what do we do next?"

In the end, the topic returned to how the lawless land should deal with the revenge of the vampires.

"What should we do? What else can we do? Let's just wait and see. It won't be too late to act after the empire is defeated."

Even if the vampires wanted to send troops to retaliate against the empire, it would take time to assemble the army, so their current situation is far from being urgent.

Let's drink today and enjoy life today, it doesn't matter what happens next. Just live one day at a time and wait until the vampire army goes out to negotiate peace.

"...Okay, that's all for today. When you get back, please pay more attention to the situation over there."

Just as the summit meeting in the lawless land came to an end, a scream suddenly reached their ears...

§124 The first changes

"Tsk, who of you brought the people here and can't control their hands again?"

The first person to react upon hearing the scream was the charming woman.

She just tapped the pipe in her hand lightly and looked toward the window, frowning slightly and looking a little unhappy.

The meeting was held in her sphere of influence, and her subordinates would generally not openly start a fight in the street against her will. At least they would hold their breath until the designated place. Therefore, based on the process of elimination, the only possible people who took action were subordinates brought by other people.

Considering the main business she does here, it is likely that two people have taken a fancy to the same person and started fighting in the street under the influence of lust.

Tsk, it doesn’t matter if those guys beat her to death, but please don’t ruin her market.

"As usual, whoever broke it has to pay the price. That's fine, right?"

"Ah."

Hearing the charming woman say this, the leaders of other forces nodded with somewhat unhappy expressions.

They said they would compensate them according to the price, but in reality, every time the other party would take the opportunity to rip them off, and the rip-off was justified.

But there is no other way. If you don't want to go to war with this guy, you can only swallow this loss. It's your own fault for making such a stupid mistake.

Tsk, the people brought here this time were obviously carefully selected. I wonder who got carried away. How will he feel when he gets back?

But then something went wrong. Screams and explosions echoed through the window, and a column of black smoke could be seen rising from below. It was obvious that the fighting outside had gotten a bit intense.

"Tsk."

Seeing this, the charming woman's face instantly turned gloomy. She no longer exchanged pleasantries with others. She simply turned over and jumped out of the window, flying towards the place where the conflict broke out.

The leaders of other forces who were left behind looked at each other and then several of them came out to follow each other's footsteps. As for the others, they went down the internal stairs normally.

The few people who came out all realized that this might have been done by their subordinates. They were worried about the compensation they had to pay, so they naturally came out on their own initiative. The others were naturally not so anxious and just went over to watch the fun slowly.

However, the scene that the charming woman who arrived first saw was very different from what she had previously believed.

It was not a conflict between the forces at all. There were only seven or eight pitch-black monsters madly attacking other people on the street. There was a lot of blood and broken limbs on the ground. The crowd completely ignored her rule prohibiting street fighting and used magic to attack these monsters, which led to the explosion they heard later.

boom--

With the arrival of the charming woman, a sense of oppression suddenly enveloped everyone's heads and suppressed the movements of the monsters. However, at first her pressure did not completely restrict the monsters' actions, and she had to add a little more strength to do it.

"What's going on here?"

Looking at the ruins that were burning all around, the charming woman felt her heart bleeding. She suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at the people who had just been fighting the monster.

It was these monsters who committed the crime, and she might have to bear the consequences herself.

"Sir, I saw the whole process."

At her question, a woman from her own faction raised her hand.

"explain."

"It started with two outsiders arguing on the street because they wanted to name the same person."

Well, this part was pretty much what she thought, because it was normal for people to get jealous and quarrel when they were horny.

"Then, as they were arguing, the man suddenly pounced on the other and bit him. The other people nearby were also attracted by the screams."

Well, this should be the source of the first scream.

"And then? How did it become like this? Where did those monsters come from?"

Looking at the other party with a look of doubt and surprise, the charming woman continued to ask.

At this time, the leaders of other forces had also rushed over, and they were a little confused about the situation when they saw the scene in front of them.

Where on earth did these black monsters come from? They were clearly being subjected to such a terrifying pressure, yet their movements were only restricted, with no life-threatening danger at all. If they were a human, they would have been crushed into a second dimension.

Although I am not the one who is unlucky this time, it is better to find out where this inexplicable monster came from.

"Then...then the biter suddenly turned into a black monster. Then someone in the crowd suddenly started attacking those around them, and then they turned into monsters too. In desperation, everyone used magic to fight back, but these monsters' bodies were very special, and magic attacks had almost no effect."

"...Okay, then do you remember which faction the monster belonged to in the beginning?"

"It's... it's from the Blood Wolf Society, and there are others who can testify."

After hearing her testimony, the president of the Blood Wolf Society, who had been watching the show leisurely on the side, could no longer sit still.

He brought his trusted aides this time, but one of them suddenly turned into such a monster?

"Which one is my person?"

"!"

Looking at the Blood Wolf Club's president with a bad look on his face, the woman was frightened and her body trembled slightly, but she still pointed at the three monsters.

"It seems to be one of those three. The situation was too chaotic just now and I couldn't pay attention all the time."

bump--

bump--

bump--

The next moment after the identification was completed, three muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously, but the next moment the president of the Blood Wolf Society frowned.

The three monsters who took his punches acted as if nothing had happened, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

The other powerful leaders also had inexplicable expressions. Why did this guy act so badly? Should they prepare to destroy this guy's forces after returning?

"Don't look at it anymore. Something's wrong. These monsters are not that simple."

Clenching his fist and recalling the feeling just now, the president of the Blood Wolf Society called out to the crowd watching the show with an unhappy look on his face.

"Let go of the pressure on one of them first."

The last sentence was directed at the seductive woman.

Then, everyone watched him throw dozens of punches at the monster that had released its pressure, but the monster still looked full of energy.

At this point, everyone finally realized that the problem was serious.

The Blood Wolf Club leader's only weapon was his iron fists, and yet he couldn't kill this monster even after throwing dozens of punches? What a joke.

If these monsters appeared in one's own forces, it goes without saying how serious the consequences would be.

The most important thing right now is to figure out what these monsters are, otherwise they may not have the chance to deal with the problem of the vampire army.

§125 Lawless Land, Fall

"what--!!!"

Just as the leaders of the forces were thinking about this problem, screams from afar once again reached their ears, interrupting their thoughts. The thing they were most worried about happened.
