Chapter 160: Implanting bloodlines (I)
Vlad and Jormungandr had been thoroughly engrossed in their work on the first floor of the Xaos Tower, unaware of the steady flow of people reaching the Silent Wind Military Base. They were eager to finish as, while it would still be a long time before the tower was terminated and could hold a clone of the A.I. Chip, completing the first floor’s magic inscription would immensely increase the speed at which the energy pool charged.
That amount of energy was very useful, allowing the Runemaster and Alchemy Master to create various formations and a myriad of magic weapons. Only once they finished did they notice how the fortress was packed with people, many of whom were new faces.
Vlad showed a radiant smile as he saw the massive number of refugees that the soldiers had rescued. He used his communicator gem to contact Chief Counselor Aloz and learned that the current population was over thirteen thousand!
While Silent Wind Military Base was designed to hold ten thousand troops, many hangars and facilities could be transformed into houses, so holding up to twenty-five thousand people would not be a problem.
After informing him about the civilians rescued, Chief Counselor Aloz reported that the soldiers had captured over fifty new criminals, making a coldness appear in Vlad’s smile. When it came to treating civilians and refugees, the Xaos Kingdom’s behavior was better than any country before the apocalypse.
However, when it came to death row criminals, the Xaos Kingdom was literally a gate to Hell, as those criminals would have their souls marked and handed to devils.
Although it was tempting to pick some of those criminals and hand them over to the Legendary devil in exchange for bloodlines right away, Vlad chose against it since they no longer had the materials needed to brew more Devil’s Bane Elixir.
The soldiers that had marched across Inkmetal City had collected massive amounts of resources during their rescue efforts, but Jormungandr lacked the most important one: High Champion Abyssal blood.
Vlad had taken blood from the Level 14 Abyssal, but he was careful not to take too much as he did not want to risk the creation of Molten Demonblood Essence. For the time being, they would not be able to cleanse more devil bloodlines.
"I currently have 21 Mortal Tier Bloodlines and 5 Champion Tier Bloodlines. They are enough to generate a powerful elite attack force." A meaningful light appeared in Vlad’s eyes as the gears of his mind began to concoct a new plan.
Not wasting time, Vlad focused on his communicator gem and sent a command to certain people. "Meet me in the Xaos Tower!"
