Boom boom boom..."
As the thunder grew increasingly terrifying, countless crimson lights appeared intermittently in the distance, eventually becoming fully visible to the people within the imperial city.
More than five hundred Third-Generation Vampire, their bodies bound by iron chains as thick as wrists, pulled the massive palace behind them like a spider web, making a difficult but steady progress.
The thunderous roar was not from the sky, but from the friction of the iron wheels beneath the palace turning on the ground.
"Boom..."
More than five hundred Third-Generation Vampire, their eyes bloodshot, pulled the massive palace along, slowly moving forward in the pitch-black night, passing through the now completely silent streets of the imperial city.
"Whoosh!" Two howling sounds rang out in the sky. At the top of the huge palace, two bat-like monsters, each three or four meters tall and with huge wings, soared up and circled around the sky above the imperial city.
Its outstretched fleshy wings howled and whipped up a fierce wind, making it seem as if it were blotting out the sky and the sun, which was extremely terrifying!
"Pat, pat, pat..." The sound of the steel armor stomping on the ground was barely audible.
Behind that enormous palace, Vampire knights clad in scarlet armor followed closely behind. The ranks were orderly, their steps synchronized, and an atmosphere of solemnity and coldness permeated the entire imperial city.
But that's not all. Looking back along this long line, shadowy figures could still be seen, suggesting the presence of an even larger palace...
"Call..."
The once bustling imperial city was now completely silent; even the sound of the cold wind rustling through the leaves could be heard.
The once bustling and noisy people of the Boya Empire fell completely silent as the massive and awe-inspiring Blood Court procession, pulling a huge palace, slowly passed in front of them.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds.
'Shocking and terrifying!'
But they weren't the only ones terrified.
At this moment, in the imperial palace of the Boya Empire.
Yalian III had already prepared for the welcoming ceremony, stood nervously at the palace gate with a group of ministers and members of the royal family, awaiting the arrival of Blood Clan Progenitor Norton.
He was dressed in bright red court attire, with a coronation robe that resembled a cape, looking noble and solemn—a typical medieval Europe imperial outfit.
The other members of the royal family and ministers were also dressed in elegant court attire. After all, most of the high-ranking ministers in the Boya Empire were either members of the royal family or related by blood, so there was no problem with everyone wearing court attire.
At the palace gate, two lines of two hundred heavily armed knights stretched for over a hundred meters, serving as guides and guards, to demonstrate the powerful military might of the Boya Empire.
After all, there were two hundred knights guarding the gate, which shows just how powerful the Boya Empire was.
Generally speaking, after other small country lords walk along such a road lined with heavily armored knights, they will instinctively be overshadowed by the Boya Empire, thus placing them in a subordinate position for dialogue and cooperation.
"The speed at which the Blood Court has risen is astonishing. One can only imagine that His Majesty Norton must be extremely wise. After all, while force can be helpful in conquest, it cannot be achieved by force alone."
Ladies and gentlemen, while this cooperation will greatly benefit both of us, we must still be wary of any ulterior motives this clever Blood Clan Progenitor might harbor.
Slightly nervous, Yalian III gave instructions to the royal family members beside him.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Our Boya Empire is now strong and well-equipped, and we have already prepared over a hundred portraits of God within the palace. At most, we are only wary and fearful of the Holy Judgment Order of the Papal State. These Blood Clan, with their fatal weaknesses, pose little threat. Therefore, Your Majesty can handle them with ease!"
Zuoge, Yalian III's uncle and Imperial Chancellor, offered words of comfort while standing behind him.
Hearing his words, Yalian III's tension eased slightly. "That's good. After all, this Blood Clan Progenitor is not human, and whether his character is malicious is still unknown. We'll have to adapt to the situation..."
Before Yalian III could finish speaking, a sound like muffled thunder from afar rushed into his ears.
"A thunderclap on flat ground? What an auspicious sign! Your Majesty. Such a celestial spectacle signifies the prosperity of the dynasty and the auspiciousness of all things!" Upon hearing the distant thunder, Zuoge's face immediately lit up with joy.
Yalian III was also persuaded, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Yes, Boya will rise, and the Papal State will ultimately..."
Before they could finish speaking, the rumbling thunder grew closer and closer, and in the distance, a huge, imposing black shadow began to appear, causing all the members of the royal family to swallow their words and look up.
"Boom boom boom..."
The fine iron chains, like a spider web, pulled the enormous palace forward slowly.
Five hundred Third-Generation Vampire appeared before the royal family's eyes, accompanied by the clanking of chains binding them, and a massive palace came into view...
Holy crap!!!
Wearing his coronation robes Yalian III felt his mind go blank for a moment. He stood there, stunned, staring at the magnificent scene in the distance that was... utterly breathtaking.
Five hundred Vampire struggled to move forward, dragging the enormous palace along. Bat-like monsters with wings that blotted out the sky hovered atop the palace, followed by a dense swarm of Vampire knights...
What a terrifying sight this is!
Using people to pull the palace—is that a method that humans could possibly come up with?
Compared to them, the two hundred heavily armored knights standing like wooden stakes at the gate of the Boya Empire's palace were laughable!
"Gulp..." Yalian III felt his throat tighten. Even though Yalian III had commanded vast wars and was very knowledgeable, he couldn't help but feel a chill when he saw the extremely shocking scene in front of him.
It wasn't the sheer size of the scene or the monsters swirling in the sky that terrified them, but rather the cold-blooded heart of this Blood Clan Progenitor, hard as iron and ruthless enough to not regard Vampire as human beings!
"Boom!!!" As the enormous palace came to a stop at the palace gate, the top of the palanquin, which resembled a palace, was slowly pulled open by human hands. The ingenuity of its mechanism was simply breathtaking.
As the top of the carriage was pulled open...
A tall, slender, and perfectly proportioned pale monster sat high on the throne!
Its pure black, crystalline eyes were fixed on the members of the Boya Empire's royal family standing below the palace. Its festering, pale skin and mouthful of sharp teeth made it almost inhuman!
"Gulp!" Yalian III felt a chill run through him. He looked up at the tall, pale monster sitting on the nine-meter-high throne and felt as if he had made the most foolish decision of his life!
So this monster was actually the Vampire Progenitor!
Why did the messenger he sent claim that the Vampire Progenitor was an old man exuding an aura of oppression?
