Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 212: IV First Prince

"Prince we have achieved a total of 1.950.792 vampires. With thirty thousand being high-grade and 20 being noble vampires. A hundredth city and mountain range has been taken by our troops and our territory had a grown of 50%. Now we have a territory of 1.648.195 square kilometers, the production of blood is a bit delayed but we have been gathering more prisoners and it will take a while until we have enough Usekians to feed all our vampires." A man was reading the reports to the man on a throne when the later rose his voice.

" Then I guess we should depend of animal blood for now. There is one more thing, how are my fellow princes doing?" The man had a glint of bloodlust in his eyes, he surely immersed in the character.

"Well the second prince was on the rise with ninety-one cities, but he suffered a lot by the Nolx country's military force.  They have a powerful ruler character on their side that has been causing a lot of headache to the second prince, now with only seventy-nine cities."

"The third princess has formed an alliance with the sixth prince and together they have taken 85 cities, the large desert in the between the fifth prince's land and the seventh prince's land and three huge mountains full of precious material they are using to upgrade their forces. They have also been using weapons like bombs made of  energetic gems like Magical and Prime crystals in order to make these bombs which means they are pretty rich."

"The forth princess is also doing well in the past twenty years, she took ninety-cities, with one of them being the only coastal city in the south of the continent, yet her luck ended two months ago with three ruler characters on the Usekians side ganged up on her. All her territory was taken back and her servants were killed."

"The Fifth prince is mysterious, some believe he is Aion himself. With only a small territory of forty cities, he amassed such a powerful force that can bring anyone to shock. He managed to kill two ruler characters just with two of his generals. It looks like he has six of them in total which means that if each one  of them are this powerful then the fifth prince has six royal vampires with powers close to the seven princes and the other rulers." The vampire stared at his prince, It was the first time he had seen the expression on his face change. For some reason, he and all the others under the first prince have been wondering about which celestial was him. He certainly was an important one, yet there was no one that knew about his true identity.

'In ten years the preparation time will end and the true time war will start... I just hope all the celestial beings can be together at the time when I end them.' The man thought to himself, only he knew the reason he came here. He constantly heard a voice telling him what to do. He not even remembered who he was before, all of this happening, he just did as the voice guides him. He did not even asked about the sixth prince as he thought nothing of the former, the only reason he had grow to this point was because of the support from the third princess. The first prince really didn't believe this little sixth prince could disturb his plans.

[The power of time is a big threat, you must wipe them out and destroy the source of the time laws. Only in this way, everything will be ready to the arrival of my herald. Do what I'm telling and you shall be rewarded.]

...

"Asgeal, the road connecting my thirty-six cities are done. Do you need material to help you finish yours? I've some materials left." 

[What? Of course I accept, those materials are really expensive. Can you remind me why you said to stop increasing our number of vampires and cities? We have more than enough strength to overtake the first prince's position and I can't help but feel it is a waste to stay here in our bases.] Only the two of them knew how much easy it would be to gather an territory of more than a hundred cities with the force they had.

Yet, Elijah would always say they were not ready yet and that they should wait for the right moment. If they started taking too much territory then it would be hard to relate with the other princes that will see them as powerful enemies. It was better to feign weakness while slowly growing behind the backs all waiting for the chance to strike them down with a single move.

"I said before. I will continue the trades with the other princes, they all think of me as a weak and  good-for-nothing ruler. Just wait, the chance of winning is low, but who cares if we at least bring down over half of them with us."

[Understood, let's continue later.]

"Yeah." Finishing their talk, Elijah walked to the balcony and stared at the thousands and thousands of vampires flying in the sky. Staring at the dark sky, Elijah thought of something and went downstairs.

There, a middle-aged woman was tied to the ground with chains from her feat to the neck. Staring at her with a neverseen coldness in his eyes, he spoke.

"Who would have thought you'll fall to this point, Cronus. Wait, should I say Chronos or Cronus? I heard the two of them are different entities, but it is more likely two different personas. I know that it was Cronus that killed my Chloe. So think this as a merciful side of mine." 

The woman only stared at him with eyes full of killing intent while Elijah let out a laugh. "Want to play right? Okay, I will leave you alone for now."

Turning around, Elijah left the room and the iron door closed behind him with a loud bang!
