Who is Lucian?
It was he who ignited the werewolves' yearning for freedom, and it was he who led the werewolves out of slavery and became the leader of the so-called free wolves.
If Kraven is the type of person who has ambition but lacks the corresponding strength, then Lucian is the ambitious person who has both ambition and the corresponding strength.
and...
Lucian is also smarter than Kraven.
If Lucian was smart, he would know what kind of path Lake had chosen for him, a path that would lead to death even after revenge.
and.
Lucian wants to kill not only Vidocq and Marcus, but also Emilia from the beginning to now.
So will Lucian just sit there and wait for death?
If Michael Coven's blood had not been neutralized, maybe it would have happened, because Lake absolutely suppressed him in strength. But now, his strength has greatly increased because of Michael Coven's blood. Will Lucian, who is now both a werewolf and a vampire, succumb to Lake because of the problem of strength?
If you are a little timid, maybe you will.
Paris will too.
But Lucian is a freedom fighter, a werewolf who vowed to change the world. Lucian's demand is not only to kill the three vampire elders, but also to exchange the status of werewolves and vampires.
If even one elder still existed, Lucian's dream would be impossible to achieve.
so.
What Lucian will choose? The answer is self-evident.
Lake always likes to win everything when doing things, and this Lucian may be the same.
This one hundred million US dollars is used for self-defense.
at the same time...
It is also used to help Emilia establish her authority tonight.
"When will the council members arrive?"
"We're on our way."
The members of the Vampire Council are not just simple council members, but also the leaders of the regional branches of the VAM Consortium. At the awakening ceremony tomorrow night, these 36 vampire council members will follow Emilia to the manor. Under their witness, and according to the rules, they will awaken the vampire rulers of the next hundred years.
Tonight, these people will first come to Emilia to summarize the development of the vampire clan over the past hundred years. Then, after obtaining Emilia's consent, the content of these hundred years will be turned into a book for the vampire clan to read and understand.
The power of these thirty-six members is evenly distributed.
Emilia, Marcus, and Victor, the three transformed vampires, each occupy twelve seats. The principle of fair distribution can ensure that during the period when the two elders are asleep, these twelve direct descendants can continue to lead their tribe to develop stably and orderly.
Emilia wants to be a dictator, and she cannot avoid the support of this congressman.
After all, even if Victor and Marcus died, the parliamentarians from their two factions would not agree to Emilia's dictatorship. They would only say that new elders should be elected from their two factions to restore the balance of the three elders.
Normally, it would be difficult to get these thirty-six people together.
But tonight is different.
Thirty-six members of parliament will come to meet Emilia and then take a train to Budapest to witness the awakening ceremony.
Because it seemed to the other two councils that if an elder wanted to become a dictator, he would only choose the early to middle period of a hundred years, and would not choose a critical juncture. With the arrival of the thirty-six councilors, the vampire soldiers of Victor and Marcus were already stationed in the manor. As long as the current rulers had an idea, they would all wake up the two sleeping elders.
very.
The protection measures are very complete.
But Lake still wants to play the game tonight, where I finish my words and who agrees and who disagrees.
Just kill him if he is not yours.
It just so happens that the more you kill, the more positions will become vacant, and then the more positions can be awarded. The social hierarchy of vampires has been fixed for too long, and it is time to replace it with a new batch of blood.
New order, new atmosphere.
Perfect.
This can be considered as subverting the regime in a sense. Lake is very familiar with this. After all, when he was in the army, he led many teams to stir up trouble in those small countries based on the CIA's intelligence. Whoever does not listen to the federal father will be forced to step down. Only obedient and sensible children will get candy, and those who are disobedient are rebellious sons, and they will not even be left with a grave.
The sun sets and takes over the shift with the moon.
Boom!
Lake and Emilia looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky and it was raining.
Drip!
In Victor Manor.
The Death Walkers began to suit up, loading up their ammunition and magazines.
Kraven wiped his face: "Where's Selina?"
Luke looked around and said, "I haven't seen her. She left the study last night and went out. I guess she hasn't come back yet."
Kraven was silent for a moment, then quickly walked to the door of the Sleeping Hall.
There.
There were two guards he trusted most.
"Remember, no one is allowed to open the door if they want to go inside. The awakening ceremony will be tomorrow."
"clear."
Kraven felt himself trembling all over. Tonight he would either become a true hero or become cannon fodder. For Kraven, there was no third way.
Once the other tribesmen knew that Lucian was not dead, his lies would be ruthlessly exposed, and by then, he would not be able to bear the wrath of the elders.
He actually wanted to agree to Lucian's plan and hand over the key to the secret passage in the manor so that Lucian could come and seek revenge.
But is this possible?
Putting aside the question of whether Lucian could take over all the vampires in this manor, let's just say that even if Lucian did take over all the vampires here, how would he explain it to the other vampires and make them agree to let him lead them as consul?
So Lucian gave Kraven a question with no choice.
So Kraven was going to flip the table.
Strike first.
The excuse Kraven used this time was that the werewolves in hiding were planning to come and cause trouble on the day of awakening. Tonight, he would use himself as bait to lure the werewolves deeper and then take them all away.
Um.
The idea is beautiful.
Because Lucian thought so too.
At this moment, Lucian also summoned his wolf cubs and grandsons from the sewer. It was pitch black and dark. At first glance, it seemed that the entire developed sewer pipes of Budapest were blocked.
Rainwater poured down from countless manhole covers, accompanied by the unique smell of the sewer rising. These werewolves, all with expressionless faces, waited for their leader Lucian to speak.
Their blood is hot.
Because after tonight, when the sun rises tomorrow, they will no longer be hiding, and the relationship between them and the vampires who are chasing them all over the world will be a switch in offense and defense.
Lucian stared expressionlessly at the nearly fifty werewolves in front of him, whose strength was second only to his own, with a unique aura.
The fifty werewolves shared the blood in Michael Cowen's body.
A tool should be of the greatest use.
These fifty werewolves, who also possess vampire blood, are Lucian's confidence now.
Lucian now has an accomplice in the vampire manor.
Serena.
Perhaps Kraven himself didn't know that his plans were all seen through Lucian's tip-off through Selena.
After all, Selena is also an older vampire. Naturally, in her early years, Selena also transformed several vampires, and some of those vampires also lived in Victor Manor.
so.
Kraven thought he was striking first, but Lucian was outmaneuvering him.
Don't blame me.
Back then, I allowed you to use my flesh and blood to ascend to the throne, and now you want to break the agreement. In that case, then go and die, and I will leave you with an intact body.
soon.
Lucian's division of troops is complete.
Some people first sneaked into the entrance of the secret passage and waited for Selena's internal support in the manor. Then, some people took advantage of the night to quietly rush to the castle where Emilia was now. Then, the rest of the people followed Lucian to keep the appointment.
The troops were divided into three groups.
After so many years of poor development, even though his wolf cubs were still discovered and killed by the vampires, the number of werewolves now was enough for Lucian to send troops in three directions.
Boom!
It's still the same old place. No birds will come here, and Budapest residents will definitely not come to this open-air garbage dump in the suburbs during a thunderstorm.
The Death Walkers are hiding in the shadows.
A black car was parked in the empty old place.
Kraven sat in the car with a gloomy face, his legs shaking unconsciously.
Ten minutes have passed since the agreed time.
Lucian hasn't come yet.
Just when Kraven was getting impatient and even felt that something was wrong, the vampire outside said, "Here they come."
Kraven came back to his senses, felt something was wrong, and then shook his head.
Vampires can sense breaths from far away, but on rainy days, especially under such heavy rain, the range of vampires' breath perception will be greatly limited.
Not far away.
Lucian, still like a hippie, brought his followers who had been there countless times before. Under this heavy rain, he walked directly to the agreed location without feeling wet at all.
The little vampire brother had no expression on his face, and as usual, he gestured to Lucian to get in the car.
But things are different now.
"roar!"
"ah!"
Lucian's younger brother, whose Michael Cowen's bloodline was also neutralized, appeared in front of the vampire brother like a ghost with the speed of a vampire. His human head turned into a wolf head and he bit down directly.
The little vampire brother screamed.
Next second.
His body shrank quickly, and in just a moment, all the blood in the vampire's body was sucked away by this werewolf brother.
Kraven's face in the car changed drastically.
get off.
Kraven confronted Lucian and demanded, "What are you doing..."
"Ouch!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Lucian gave the order instantly, then appeared directly in front of Kraven, strangling Kraven who wanted to escape like a shadow. Under Kraven's horrified and disbelieving eyes, Lucian bit Kraven's neck directly and greedily sucked Kraven's blood.
Around the garbage dump, the howling of wolves and the sound of gunfire rang out continuously.
The second war between vampires and werewolves has begun!
