Chapter 426: Warfall Problems.
Two days later.
Nothing important had happened in the supernatural world, the world didn’t end because of some supernatural entity’s evil plan, a war didn’t take place, Lucifer still had problems to settle with god, hell was still hot and not completely frozen over.
I mean, everything was normal.
Yes… Everything… It was… normal…
Definitely nothing big happened, and definitely a certain vampire count didn’t become more famous this time around for a different reason.
“….” Eleanor looked at the Clan Fulger mansion with a blank expression.
‘The mansion that was made to withstand an attack by a high-class Behemoth isn’t holding up…’ Eleanor’s cheek couldn’t help but turn red as her imagination ran wild about what was happening in that place.
An expression similar to Eleanor’s appeared on the cheeks of the Valkyries, and especially their commander Rose.
‘…The countess is having a good time now…how jealous…’ She didn’t hide her thoughts.
As an older vampire, and a strong woman, Rose knew how difficult it was to find a Noble Vampire with Victor’s personality, and who was strong enough to drive her into oblivion.
Most older male vampires have their weird quirks, which is acceptable, after all, she had her quirks too, it’s impossible to live long and not acquire a weird quirk or two…
But the problem Rose was talking about here was that hardly an older single vampire is going to be interested in anything other than his interests and hobbies.
Older vampires lived a long life, and most decided to get married, and those who didn’t were just eccentrics who have no interest in it and prefer their hobbies.
And those who are strong enough to do what Victor has now done with Natashia aren’t interested in that sort of thing.
Because of that, Rose as an older vampire understood how lucky Natashia was.
“… Leader, why are we even here?” Dorothy asked curiously.
Eleanor sighs when she hears her subordinate’s question:
“To prevent curious vampires from approaching that place.”
“Knowing them both, I’m sure that if someone gets in the way of their ‘fun’, they won’t react well.”
“And I don’t want my people to die because of it.” Eleanor couldn’t help but frown as she remembered the audacity of her people.
Vampires sneaking around trying to get closer to the mansion to find out what’s going on.
They really were playing with death, all because of their curiosity! Instead of being a vampire, are you sure they’re not a cat breed?
“Ohhh.”
‘as expected of Lady Eleanor, she is so kind!’ Dorothy’s eyes sparkled with stars.
“….”
Sigh.
“Anyway, don’t let anyone near that place, I must go back to my training.” Eleanor spoke.
“Yes!” The Valkyries spoke.
When Eleanor was about to leave, she heard:
“Eleanor.”
“Hmm?” Looking at Rose, the commander of the Valkyries, Eleanor wondered what she wanted.
“We’re short of Behemoth Jaws.”
“… That was quick.”
“We’ve used a lot of materials this month, and the number of monsters around WarFall is increasing.”
“…It’s the first time I’ve heard this.”
“That’s because I didn’t report it.”
“Huh?”
“Sigh… At first, I thought it was just a normal increase in monsters, after all, it’s this time of year, I would just deal with everything so you could focus on your training, but…”
“The number just continued to grow.”
“….” Eleanor understood why Rose didn’t report this to her, as the commander of her territory, not just the Valkyries, most small problems are solved by her, and only when things need her attention.things Eleanor
For things that didn’t require Eleanor’s attention, Rose would just finish work, and then make a report that when Eleanor finished her daily activities, she would read it.
That was how much trust Eleanor had in Rose, she is her most loyal subordinate along with Walter, her butler.
Betrayal?
She wasn’t worried about that.
Her family, her territory, was very different from the rest of Nightingale, they were loyal to her, they were loyal to their Clan.
And even if Rose wanted to betray Eleanor, she couldn’t…
The ‘monster’ inside Rose wouldn’t allow it.
“No matter how many monsters our hunters killed, they would come back the next day with a higher number.”
“…If that’s true, how are we missing Behemoth’s jaw?”
“That’s because only monsters like Ogres, and small ones are coming.”
“The Behemoths are not approaching our territory.”
“And we’ve detected an unusual increase in aggression from these smaller monsters.”
“… This is weird.” Eleanor can’t help but say this, she was the one who knew the monsters the most, and they’re acting quite strange for her.
In the Behemoth’s body are the ideal weapons-making ingredients to make high-level weapons that won’t break as easily as your greatsword, and your heart is the essential ingredient for making a certain special type of potion.
“What is the possibility that a Leader is planning an attack?”
“It’s too low…”
“The monsters aren’t acting as usual, it’s more like they’re being attracted to something.” Rose looked at the mansion as if suggesting something.
“Alucard?”
“I mean, it just happens when he’s in our territory, when he was in the human world, those incidents didn’t happen…” Rose didn’t want to point fingers without proof.
But that’s too much of a coincidence.
“….” Eleanor began to think, and after a few seconds, she says:
“I brought Alucard to this place to help me exterminate the monsters, I intend to clear everything up to the forest of death and increase the area of control of our territory a little more.”
“Although several things have happened that demanded his attention… It’s time for him to fulfill his promise.”
“….” Rose nodded, with the earl’s skills, she thought it was not impossible to do what Eleanor said.
‘Not to mention that, in the future, he will be our neighbor, after all, he is an ‘explorer’… He also needs to find a land to make his territory.’
Looking for their leader whose power was very useful to create a stronghold.
Several thoughts ran through her head:
‘A more solid alliance is needed, even though he is disciple brothers who trained with the same teacher, this status is too fine… Maybe, a promise to teach him our martial arts ? Or a supply of weapons to kill monsters? … I think the weapon supply is ideal, Alucard already has that weird Odachi, but his subordinates don’t have that kind of weapon capable of killing these monsters permanently.’
Monster weapons often break, after all, the monster’s skin was very thick, and its bones, muscles too, if the weapons are not restored often by the blacksmith, the probability of the weapon breaking in the middle of battle is high.
And losing a weapon in the midst of immortal monsters isn’t a very pretty scenario, no matter which point of view you look at it.
Only the weapons of Eleanor, the Valkyries and a select few members of WarFall have a higher resistance, and that’s because they’re made from the material of a high-level Behemoth, which is a rarely seen monster.
And that also has body components of a ‘leader’, because of that, these weapons are in short supply.
“Keep an eye on the monsters around, I want any activity from them reported to me.”
“Yes, Countess Eleanor.” Rose made a gesture of respect.
