Eldritch Creature's Guide

As Samiel was bombarding the military fortress of the bats, vampires were panicking inside because they realized that they had fallen into some kind of trap. The orks that lurked around were just a pretext to lure out their forces where.

Unfortunately for the Vampires, they figured out this too late when the trap was already in a full go and there was already no return from this point.

They were all ambushed and killed to the last man, inflicting great losses on the vampires in the Bone Mountains. It was a very efficient trap that cut their numbers by half in one swoop and now, they were attacking their headquarters too...

And when someone started bombarding their headquarters with intense magic spells, literarily spamming 5th Level Spells like they were nothing, not to mention that each spell was highly destructive.

Each of the 5th Levels Spells was reaching the standard destructiveness of the 6th Level Spells, the leaders of the vampires realized that someone was trying to wipe them out and was just using the orks as their instrument.

If Samiel heard that theory, he would laugh because it was partially true and if someone was using someone, then it was actually Dharzug making use of him to clear out the Bone Mountains for the future Klan that Dharzug planned to found here.

"How are we?"

Questioned the man who was bearing the garbs of a priest who appeared to be the commander of all the vampires in the Bone Mountains. Because this was a thing of the Blood Church, it was understandable that only a Priest of high stature would be able to command them.

Still, politics were politics and so the Priest was somebody who was also a member of the Aristocracy.

Contrary to the other blood race members, his aura was far more powerful, his hair platinum and his red eyes shined in rage. His appearance was even more beautiful and supernatural compared to other male Vampires that were gathered in the room.

It was clear that the man who was commanding here the others was Kindred; not only was he Kindred, but he was also a Priest of the Blood Church and descendant of Aristocracy of the Pale Congregation.

"The initial strike managed to cripple shield formation thus; we are completely vulnerable. Right now, the barrage of spells is focused directly on all the traps we have around the fortress. It is clear that the attackers are planning the ground invasion and that they are very knowledgeable around us and about our military doctrine."

Another person wearing the garbs of a priest answered him as the leader grumbled at this because their situation was becoming grim.

The enemy purposely took out the shields in the surprise attack and now was targeting the traps and hidden weapons that they had stationed around the walls and in them.

It was clear that they were preparing for the ground invasion. As the commander, he was aware that when it came to the ground invasion, after such throughout preparation operation, they won't be able to defend against it.

Hence, they had only the sole viable option.

"Activate whatever defenses that remain undamaged... is the machine stable?"

After some sort of consideration and with a good amount of uncertainness in his voice, the commanding Kindred asked his second in command as another Kidnred man nodded his head in agreement to both the order and the question.

"Teleporting out of the 10th Floor is highly dangerous and the possibility of us succeeding is around 41,70% according to our calculations."

Reposdned the second in command with a grim voice. These numbers were not high and good... actually they were pretty bad, but compared to what has awaited them on the other side of the walls of their fortress, it was worth a try.

"Pack up everything, prepare to launch the device. We have obtained what we wanted either way, with this not only will the House Von Habsburg will ascend to the Pale Bloods with this, we will obtain another source of energy by assimilating the Heart Blood of the Holy Legendary Level Arrakian sandworm into our bloodline."

Stated the Kindred man because he obtained the aim of his House, the Von Habsburg House, what he wanted and what they were actually digging here in the Bone Mountains. All descendants of the Old Blood could assimilate other Bloodlines into their own, some better and some worse.

Naturally, the Kindreds could do it very well, only second to the Pale Bloods. At the same time, Dead Apostles were an exception because becoming Dead Apostles was more an artificial thing than a natural one.

"Indeed, with this, the Congregation would have no choice but to allow us to digest the Old Blood."

Stated his second in command, who was also a member of the Von Habsburg House, which was one of the strongest Houses of the Kindreds who, had very high prestige among the Pale Congregation and made an enormous contribution to the Congregation.

With the addition of the Heart Blood of the Holy Legendary Level Arrakian Sandworms, their main branch could evolve and obtain tremendous psionic potential.

According to the rules of the Pale Congregation, they would be entitled to redeem for the procedure, which would see the rise of another Pale Blood House.

This would bring the Congregation to a whole new level of power because each time a new house of Pale Bloods was created, it led to an unprecedented level of expansion and a golden age for the Congregation.

They may even expand their territories in the Faerûn.

"Though if we use that method, we may be able to increase the percentage of success to straight 80% or something around that."

Stated the second in command as the leader nodded and ordered him to make it that way.

"Then make it... Gather all core personnel and priests; we are withdrawing."

The people who would arrive here would find here nothing, though the Blood Church would be pissed beyond reason because they lost several Divine Altars to the invader and their entire foothold on the 10th Floor.

But as Frederik Von Habsburg has seen it, they would lose it either way because the enemy whom they were fighting against was smart and was determined to take control over this place. With their cunningness and tactics, they managed to cut them in half, even without a proper confrontation.

Not to mention, he could take this as an opportunity to exit the Church because his infiltration mission has ended when he successfully obtained what he wanted.
