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, and 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 of a high-class Behemoth isn’t holding up…’ Eleanor’s cheeks 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 envious…’ 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 had their own weird quirks, which was acceptable. After all, she had quirks of her own too. It was impossible to have lived so long and not acquired a weird quirk or two…
But the problem Rose was talking about here was that hardly an older single Vampires were 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 had no interest in anything but their hobbies.
And those who were strong enough to do what Victor was now doing with Natashia weren’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 sighed when she heard her subordinate’s question:
“To prevent curious Vampires from approaching that place.”
“Knowing them both, I’m sure that if someone got in the way of their ‘fun’, they wouldn’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 was 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 breed of cat?
“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 of this.”
“That’s because I didn’t report it.”
“Huh?”
“Sigh… At first, I thought it was just a normal increase in monsters, considering it’s this time of year. I wanted to just deal with everything so you could focus on your training, but…”
“The numbers just continue 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 were solved by her, and only when things needed her attention did she bring things to Eleanor.
For things that didn’t require Eleanor’s attention, Rose would just finish the work and then make a report to Eleanor that, when she finished her daily activities, she would read it.
That was how much trust Eleanor had in Rose, as she was 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, and 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.”
“… That is weird.” Eleanor couldn’t help but say this, she was the one who knew the monsters the most, and they were acting quite strange to her.
In the Behemoth’s body were the ideal weapons-making ingredients to make high-level weapons that wouldn’t break as easily as a common greatsword, and its heart was 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 like usual. It’s more like they’re being attracted to something.” Rose looked at the mansion as if suggesting something.
“Alucard?”
“I mean, it only happened while he was 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 was too much of a coincidence.
“….” Eleanor began to think, and after a few seconds, she said:
“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 Count’s skills, she thought it was not impossible to do what Eleanor said.
‘Not to mention that, in the future, he would be our neighbor. After all, he was an ‘explorer’… He also needed to find 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 my disciple brother who trained with the same teacher, this status is too little… 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, as well as its bones and muscles too. If the weapons were not restored often by a trained blacksmith, the probability of the weapon breaking in the middle of battle was high.
And losing a weapon in the midst of immortal monsters wasn’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 had a higher resistance, and that was because they were made from the material of a high-level Behemoth, which was a rarely seen monster.
And that also had body components of a ‘leader’, and so, these weapons were 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.
