672: Underground Space

“Prepare to sacrifice yourselves!”

“I will not forget a single one of your names. Once I safely escape from here, my Rudolph Clan will take care of your families.”

Cernio looked at the desperate and resentful eyes, making insincere promises.

After speaking, as if finding the numerous Vampires too noisy, Cernio swung his uninjured arm and directly cast a Silence Spell on the Vampire Soldiers.

Instantly, the underground space became quiet.

However…

After using his power, Cernio couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of Blood.

“Damn Blue Star Human Race! Damn Council!”

Wiping the Blood from the corner of his mouth, a chilling malevolence appeared on Cernio's distorted face.

He was the current Clan Chief of the Rudolph Clan, a Prince-level expert.

Before the time- snatch war with Blue Star began, Lord Alvos of the Rudolph Clan had arranged for him to be the City Lord of Saint Elen City, responsible for providing logistics to the front-line army.

Because the Vampire Council believed that this war with Blue Star would, as usual, take place on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, the position of City Lord of Saint Elen City held immense benefits.

Alvos arranged Cernio here precisely to secure benefits for the Rudolph Clan.

Cernio did not disappoint, seizing the opportunity during this period to acquire a vast amount of wealth for the Clan.

This allowed him, despite being a newly promoted Prince, to wield influence within the Clan that was no less than that of the older, established Princes.

However.

Just as Cernio was in Saint Elen City, determined to use his excellent methods to acquire resources for his next promotion, disaster struck!

Human Race Strong from Blue Star suddenly attacked the Blood Clan World, the Blood River shattered, the Ancestor fell, and the entire Blood Clan World was engulfed in war at once.

After that, bad news came from the front lines.

A million-strong army was utterly defeated, with only about a tenth managing to escape back.

Moreover, the pillar of the Rudolph Clan, Lord Alvos, had fallen on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield…

The drastic changes that occurred in such a short time completely stunned Cernio!

In the blink of an eye, he, the City Lord of Saint Elen City responsible for logistics, became the highest commander of the First Defense Line against the Blue Star Human Race invasion.

This transformation nearly scared Cernio to death!

How could he, a newly promoted Prince, resist the terrifying Blue Star army?

He couldn't even block them with his life!

Cernio immediately resigned, but unfortunately, with the fall of Lord Alvos, the pillar of the Rudolph Clan, the Council directly rejected his request.

Then, Blue Star's artillery bombarded the area…

And he ended up in his current miserable state.

If he hadn't seen the bad situation and fled quickly, he would have died on the city wall!

“Aldrich, haven't you finished yet?”

Glancing towards the exit of the underground space, Cernio turned to urge the Vampire who was drawing the magic circle.

“This is a long-distance teleportation array. I’m already inscribing it at the fastest speed of my life.”

The Vampire named Aldrich replied without turning his head.

Although his strength was only at the Duke level, he had extremely high attainments in spatial power and came from the Noseratu Clan, so he wasn't afraid of Cernio at all.

“Cough cough!”

Cernio coughed violently a few more times upon hearing this, his expression becoming even more distorted:

“Pierre hasn't sent a signal for ten minutes. I'm afraid Blue Star's Awakener will find this place very soon.”

“If we don't leave quickly, we'll all die here today.”

“Then what can I do?”

Aldrich also knew the situation was urgent, but he was helpless.

He said in a cold, hard tone:

“This kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation array requires extremely high precision for every magic pattern. A tiny error can lead to a huge deviation. If there's even one mistake, we won't be able to return to the heartland; we'll be teleported to other places.”

“There's even a possibility of being teleported to other worlds!”

“In this situation, I must ensure the precision of every magic pattern.”

“Instead of urging me, you'd better think about how to face the Council's accountability when you get back.”

“After today, your Rudolph Clan will probably rank last among the Thirteen Clans.”

Towards the end, Aldrich's tone carried an undisguised hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Cernio couldn't help but slam his fist heavily on the ground.

As the current Clan Chief of the Rudolph Clan, even the old Princes usually treated him with courtesy. When had a mere Duke dared to speak to him like this?

But even though he was furious and wanted to tear Aldrich to shreds, Cernio had to forcibly restrain himself.

He didn't want to die!

Soon.

Aldrich had reached the final step; the teleportation array was just one corner away from being completely outlined.

“Cernio, now!”

At this moment, Aldrich shouted, maintaining his magic power output, his eyes fixed on the last corner of the array.

Hearing him, a look of joy appeared on Cernio's face. He unhesitatingly surged his remaining power, lifting hundreds of Vampire Soldiers next to him into the air above the array.

Bang!

Amidst the surging magic power, hundreds of Vampire Soldiers directly exploded into a mist of Blood, which rained down onto the teleportation array.

As the Blood dripped, the already outlined magic patterns gradually lit up and began to connect one by one.

Aldrich's gaze was fixed on this scene, his sight moving with the illuminated magic patterns.

As soon as the energy connected to his position, he would complete the final corner, and the entire teleportation array would form and activate.

At this critical moment, Aldrich dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Cernio also stopped urging, carefully walked to Aldrich's side, and quietly watched the scene unfold.

Once the teleportation array was complete, they would be teleported to the safe heartland of the Vampires.

At that time, even if they were held accountable, at least their lives would be saved!

However.

Just as the teleportation array was gradually lighting up, Cernio's expression suddenly shifted, and he sharply turned to look behind him.

“Who?”

He roared, waving his hand and unleashing a crimson magical power.

Bang!

The magic power blasted a large pit in the ground, raising countless plumes of smoke and dust.

And at the edge of the smoke and dust, a tall figure gradually materialized.

It was Wang Chen!

“Damn Blue Star Awakener, you actually found this place so quickly?”

Seeing Wang Chen, a flicker of panic flashed in Cernio's eyes. He had never expected that a Blue Star Awakener would show up just as the teleportation was about to begin.

However, a sinister grin soon appeared on Cernio's face; the power fluctuations from this Blue Star Awakener were only at the sixth rank.

It would be impossible to stop him and Aldrich!
