The Synthesis Wizard

Three days later, Sunan led the golem army into Matu, officially taking control of the city-state.

One had to admit that vampires were a formidable race.

With their long lifespans, cunning tactics, and formidable combat abilities, they excelled both in direct combat and as scouts and assassins.

Their only weaknesses were their fear of sunlight and low reproduction rates.

Fortunately, in the underground world, the former was a non-issue.

However, the low reproduction rate limited Matu's expansion.

Despite being a large city-state, the vampire population was less than two hundred, while their subordinate races and slaves numbered over ten thousand.

Thanks to their individual combat prowess, with knights and grand knights aplenty, they managed to keep their subordinates and slaves in check.

Thousands of stalactites hung from the cave ceiling, with blue, green, and dark purple ghostly flames flickering between them, resembling a sea of clouds and providing faint illumination to all of Matu.

Standing atop a two to three hundred meter high stone pillar, Sunan looked down at the ground. He watched the golems march into the city, while the slaves busily transported various supplies, resembling ants scurrying about, giving him a god-like view over the masses.

Now that the Kasham insect swarm had been cleared, the vampires of Matu had surrendered, and the ghouls of Osen had been wiped out by the Red Widow, with Lake U City already long under his control.
