The Blood Clan Attacks

In the Northern Border Defense City, a city constructed under the regulation of the Human Federation, teams of soldiers patrolled the city walls in an organized manner.

Floodlights illuminated the entire night sky of the border city.

“I’ll say it again, I’m not joking. A Sequence Five vampire appeared in the ruins of Changhong City, and my student also mentioned that the vampires she encountered said a Sequence Six vampire would attack the border city. They are going to launch a raid!”

“There must be a large vampire force nearby. If we just send troops out to scout, we will definitely find clues!”

In the conference room, Bai Yun slammed her hand on the table in front of her.

At this moment, facing the troops stationed in the Northern Border Defense City, a deep sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.

As early as dusk, she had brought the remaining students from the school back to the border city.

Afterwards, she had immediately sought out the highest commander of the Northern Border Defense City without stopping.

Bai Yun had reported Eve’s death and the issue Lily had mentioned to him, but the report did not receive his attention.

Or rather, the reason he had received her at all was only because of her identity as a teacher from Qingzhou Academy.

“Teacher Bai, please rest assured. A Sequence Six vampire will not gain much of an advantage from us here in the Northern Border Defense City. I can also understand your feelings about losing a student, but please remain calm.”

The highest commander of the Northern Border Defense City, Nie Ping, sat in the main seat, trying to soothe Bai Yun’s emotions.

In his view, the Northern Border Defense City’s defensive line possessed siege weapons like the magic essence cannon that could target a Sequence Six.

The entire defensive line could be said to be as solid as a fortress, with no possibility of being breached.

‘Since they can’t breach the defensive line, how could these vampires possibly cross it to raid?’

‘This claim is just Bai Yun wanting me to command the troops to wipe out the nearby vampires to avenge her student.’

“The troops stationed in the Northern Border Defense City cannot be mobilized by my command alone. The most I can do is have the soldiers on 24-hour shifts for the next few days.”

Bai Yun was not an unreasonable person.

As the highest commander on the administrative side, he indeed couldn’t actively interfere too much with the affairs of the stationed troops.

However, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, “Commander Nie, could you inform the person in charge of the troops about this matter?”

In the border city, high-sequence individuals usually also served as the person in charge of the troops.

Since Nie Ping couldn’t do it, then the person in charge of the troops should have the authority to mobilize them.

“I’m afraid not. Due to the lack of recent attacks on the border city, all the high-sequence individuals from the border cities are undergoing a rotation arrangement. The soonest someone will be in place is the day after tomorrow. Right now, I’m the only Sequence Six left in the city.”

Nie Ping shook his head, his words extinguishing Bai Yun’s thought of finding someone.

‘The departure of the high-sequence individuals means that the highest remaining combat power in the border city is only a Sequence Six. And there is a one to two-day gap in this rotation. Didn’t the people in the Federation consider this situation?’

‘The vampire attack and the rotation of high-sequence individuals… isn’t the timing of this a bit too coincidental?’

“Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Commander Nie.”

Bai Yun did not linger in Nie Ping’s office.

She had been here for a while, but still had not achieved any significant results.

It was clear that Nie Ping did not fully believe the intelligence she had brought, otherwise he would not have shown such a hesitant attitude.

“Teacher Bai!”

Just as she was about to walk out of Nie Ping’s office, Bai Yun was stopped by him.

She turned back to look at him, her face filled with a question.

Nie Ping stood up from his seat and straightened his clothes, “Although I can’t make too many arrangements, what I can guarantee is that if the vampires really do attack the Northern Border Defense City, we will not let them harm a single civilian in the city before all of us Federation officials are dead.”

He said this to Bai Yun calmly, the determination and resolve in his eyes gradually infecting her.

Nie Ping’s performance made Bai Yun’s previous prejudice against him completely disappear.

‘Not being in the position, one does not meddle in its politics.’

Perhaps Nie Ping’s position was not as free as Bai Yun had initially thought.

“Thank you. I also cannot let my students be harmed again.”

Bai Yun also left a sentence and departed from Nie Ping’s office.

“Perhaps I’m overthinking it?” Nie Ping shook his head, then dialed a number, “Pass down the order, full level-one alert. For the next two days, activate the magic essence detection for vampires. Activate the protective shield if necessary. Before the new high-sequence individuals arrive, everything must be handled with caution.”

Leaving Nie Ping’s office, Bai Yun saw Lily leaving the psychological counseling room.

Seeing Bai Yun appear, Lily forced a smile and greeted her, “Teacher Bai.”

From Lily’s mental state, one could see that Eve’s death had dealt her a considerable blow.

“What did the doctor say?”

The doctor could only guide Lily’s psychological state.

Truly letting go required her to walk out of it herself, but the help of a psychologist was better than nothing.

As someone who had personally experienced Eve’s death, Bai Yun’s voice also softened unconsciously.

“My spirit was stimulated. It’s possible I got things mixed up.”

Lily smiled as if she had come to terms with it.

In Bai Yun’s eyes, it was more like heartache.

Not long after her opinion of Nie Ping had changed, it dropped another level.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already told the highest commander here the news you brought back. He said he would pay attention to the vampires’ movements. It’s getting late now, you should go back to sleep.”

Reaching out her hand, Bai Yun stroked Lily’s head, her eyes full of affection.

“Teacher Bai!”

Hearing “go back to sleep,” Lily’s figure froze.

She called out softly.

Seeing this, Bai Yun cast her an inquisitive glance.

“Can I sleep in the same room as you? There used to be Eve in the room, now it’s empty.”

As she spoke, a mist of water kept swirling in Lily’s eyes.

Going back to the empty room now would only worsen Lily’s condition if she was alone.

Faced with the student’s request, Bai Yun couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

She nodded and took Lily’s hand, returning to her own room with her.

They hadn’t walked many steps when a loud boom came from not far away, and various alarms sounded continuously.

Bai Yun and Lily exchanged a glance.

They both understood in their hearts.

It was a vampire attack!

In less than a day… the vampires’ movements were simply too fast.

The sudden attack meant the protective shield against vampires had not been activated above the city wall.

The recent attack had caused a problem with the border city’s wall; several cracks had appeared on it.

The explosion caused some of the soldiers near the city wall to be injured, and several soldiers near the center of the explosion died directly.

The border city’s wall was made of special materials.

Without the protective shield activated, it could withstand an explosion of Sequence Five or above.

When activated, it could even withstand an attack of up to Sequence Seven by consuming magic essence crystals.

Now, just one blow had caused the wall to crack.

It was clear that among the troops sent by the vampires, there was an existence of Sequence Five or above.

The intelligence Lily brought back about the team being led by an Earl had also become reliable.
