Chapter 627 Absolute Dominance
Everyone saw those men die, but they couldn't do anything against Vicente or even defend themselves against the blood and remains of that High-level Mage.
Even the Duke of the Province, who had just arrived there, couldn't help but remain silent, seeing that they had no choice but to go ahead with what Vicente wanted.
He swallowed his saliva and took a step forward. "Indeed, the vampire killed Count Park."
Another old nobleman narrowed his eyes, realizing the situation.
"It's a shame, but Count Park wasn't careful enough in the battle. The vampire destroyed his body."
Everyone in doubt put their questions aside and began to comment on how that nobleman had died to the vampire and not because of Vicente.
They would follow whatever Vicente said from now on, so they gave up their position against him and agreed to his plans.
Vicente smiled as he saw the reaction of these old foxes, satisfied he wouldn't have to kill anyone else to impose his dominance.
He said. "Then everything will be fine. I'm not here to steal or threaten anyone's position. But amid the threat of monsters coming to the south of the continent, we can't stand against each other.
I'll send your resources as soon as my men have them ready. Until then, you'll have to wait. I'll send some men to help rebuild the city, but I expect you to do the same.
That vampire came to me because I was the strongest in the city. But he would have wreaked havoc on the whole city if I hadn't acted as I did."
The local nobles and rich men agreed, not having much choice but to do so.
The city was partially destroyed. If they didn't act together to speed up the local recovery, their businesses could be negatively affected.
"I just hope we didn't have too many civilians among the casualties," Nova commented as she looked around with concern.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Nobody wanted civilians to be involved in anything that had happened today. But they still needed to count the local losses to arrive at the figures for the losses that had certainly occurred.
Vicente sighed and said. "Let's go back to my property. We'll make our deals there, and then you can return to your lives."
The group followed Vicente soon after, returning to where much of the battle had taken place.
Arriving at that spot, Vicente's men on the outskirts saw their leader and sighed in relief, feeling that everything had been resolved.
Two of them had died in the battle, and others were slightly wounded or exhausted.
They were mostly happy about this victory, as they had dealt with a group of monstrous creatures and won. That was very good for these men who already knew about the calamity that awaited the continent.
That had been the first test for the calamity of The Purification!
Vicente didn't speak to his men then and headed into his
estate, one of the only ones in the surrounding area that hadn't
been destroyed.
There were a few small battle marks around the building and
the part of the property where the plants and grass were had
been destroyed. But the house's structure was in excellent
condition.
