Chapter 740 Competitive Spirit
After receiving Vaan's acknowledgment, Victoria's mood was at an all-time peak. To Victoria, nothing was more important than her grandson's recognition.
As such, she was very open-minded and accepted everything about her grandson.
She would still find it acceptable even if he had another twenty women. After all, her grandson was such an impressive person. Having more than one woman was normal.
Most powerful rulers, regardless of gender, were bound to have multiple partners, whether to ensure the stability of strong families through marriage or continuing their lineage. They had many reasons and benefits to having multiple partners.
Of course, there were also rulers like Henrietta…
'Oh shit!' Victoria's happy smile froze as she remembered Henrietta.
Henrietta was a proud and powerful woman who had never been in a relationship. Trying to hook up Henrietta with her grandson was already a difficult task.
Wouldn't the task become even more difficult if her grandson had many women?
As Victoria pondered for a solution, she felt a headache from thinking too hard. She had no idea how she could bring these two people together.
'Do I have to drug them? No, no, no, that wouldn't work…' Victoria quickly shook her head, dismissing the idea.
In any case, she could not reject any woman her grandson had already chosen. She already owed him a whole childhood. It was impossible for her to make any demands for his life.
…
Meanwhile, shortly after the Black Rose Army, Holy Knight Army, and Dragon Lord Astarot's group joined the war, the vampire armies fell into a complete disadvantage.
The vampire's magic advantage over the Great Ratholos Empire's warriors was removed after the dragons and battle witches joined the battlefield. They provided sky and rear support while the Great Ratholos warriors and holy knights fought in the vanguard.
In an instant, the difference in strength between the Great Ratholos Army and the Holy Knight Army became clear. The Great Ratholos Army wielded superior physical strength and martial prowess.
However, the Holy Knight Army wasn't necessarily inferior to the Great Ratholos Army either. What it lacked in strength, it made up for it in equipment.
With their high-quality armor and weapons, the holy knights stood equal to the Great Ratholos warriors.
Furthermore, the holy knights also had higher aura cultivation. This allowed them to use more advanced aura arts.
"Holy Knights, show our Great Ratholos friends the might and valor of our Holy Knight Army! Slay those blood-suckers for me!" a holy commander roared with a surging fighting spirit after Astoria signaled the attack.
In an instant, the Holy Knight Army's morale peaked. The holy knights charged onto the battlefield with a coordinated formation and demonstrated overwhelming fighting spirits.
Not a single holy knight wanted to lose to the Great Ratholos Army's warriors.
The rivalry between the Holy Knight Empire and the Great Ratholos Empire had existed for hundreds of years. Even if they changed rulers, the competition between their great nations would not just disappear.
Each side wanted to prove their superiority.
Nevertheless, the Holy Knight Army's high momentum was like an infectious disease. After witnessing it, the Great Ratholos Army's own fighting spirit was ignited.
"Look at the white monkeys prance about in their pretty armor. They think themselves strong while they hide behind their sheets of metal. However, we know true strength comes from overcoming trials and hardships!"
"Although I am interested in playing their game, it would be too shameful if our Great Ratholos Army kills less than the Holy Knight Army. So, get out there and kill a hundred blood-suckers each for me!"
"Not a single one less, you hear me?! Show our friends from the Holy Knight Army what true warriors are made of!"
Following the roar of a Great Ratholos commander, the Great Ratholos warriors' blood boiled into action.
…
Meanwhile, the Black Rose Army had a different focus.
"Now is the time to show off the results of our training to the Supreme Commander and prove our worth! Don't you dare disgrace me, battle witches! Show them the fearsome power of our spells!" a commanding battle witch shouted excitedly.
Shortly after, the battle witches in the Black Rose Army started exercising the mana circulation method, revving up their magical power.
Half of the army blocked incoming spells, while the other half followed Henrietta to attack. With Henrietta leading the assault, she easily dominated the battlefield with her superior magic.
Her black fire reduced crowded areas into wastelands devoid of thousands of vampiric lives.
Halfling, True Vampire, Pureblood Vampire…
It didn't matter what they were; all became black powder before Henrietta's nefarious and destructive black fire. Even Transcendents disappeared when the black fire swept the battlefield.
Just when some people thought it was unwise for a powerful Transcendent Witch like Henrietta to waste her mana on weaklings and not conserve her power for stronger foes, a sea of mana suddenly poured into the area from Gehenna.
"This is…!"
Countless people were shocked to see the mana drawn into Henrietta's petite body, and her mana reserve was replenished in mere seconds.
A genuine witch from Chaos would never have a mana shortage.
"So, this is the power of a Transcendent Witch?" a senior warrior uttered with disbelief.
He suddenly realized why no country had ever invaded the witch kingdoms before. It wasn't just because they didn't want to deal with Gehenna; the Transcendent Witches near the mana sources were disaster-level threats.
Lord Astarot's group appeared to have been forgotten as they remained inconspicuous in the sky. The dragons mostly observed the situation from above and provided air support when needed.
Although they posed the greatest threat to the vampires, they still had it easy due to their unreachable position.
Most low-ranking vampires couldn't fly.
On the other hand, the high-ranking ones didn't want to be the target of concentrated fire by sticking out from the crowd. After all, it was easier to focus on a lone vampire commander in the sky than to find one in a sea of vampires.
'So, this is the air superiority the Supreme Leader once mentioned…' Lord Astarot thought as he looked down on the vampires.
