Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 422 Ralph,Dennis, And The Beastkins

Ralph and Dennis sat together with the beastkins. From the looks of it, Ralph could feel that there were three Half Saint Ranks present in the group of Beastkin. This put him on guard as he knew that the people in front could easily kill him and the entire squad if they so wanted.

Despite his vigilance, he showed a neutral expression outwardly and did not show any hostility. The people in front just wanted to talk and they also showed no signs of animosity.

Instead, they gave him a warm and welcoming feeling.

The Beastkin talked to Ralph and Dennis about how they saw them on the livestream; how good their fighting style was. After hearing the flattery, Ralph and Dennis began to warm up to the beastkin.

Seeing that Ralph and Dennis weren't doubting them anymore, the beastkin then dived into the main topic.They explained that they were planning to attack the Kenzal Clan.

When Ralph questioned them and asked why they would do that, they simply said that they have a lot of grudges to repay.

These beastkins had arrived in the Neutral Continent from the Elven Continent for trade. But their luck was really bad as they came to Redstone City and encountered the Kenzal Clan.

They were in the domain of the Kenzal Clan and these people had to pay heavy taxes. If they refused, their daily life was made h.e.l.l. As the years pa.s.sed by, these Beast people were burdened with debt. Their finances had become so bad that they didn't even have the money to go back to the Elven Continent.

These people thus wanted revenge against the Kenzal Clan and also had plans to loot the clan.

Hearing all of their plight, Ralph couldn't help but ask, "You are powerful in your own ways. Why would you seek our help? And why wait for us here like this?"

Hearing this, a tigerman smiled ruefully and said,"We do not have a strategist like you or a berserker like him. So, we need your help."

His words did not seem like they had convinced Ralph. So the Beastkin once again employed some flattery.

"I hate to admit this but even if we all tried and racked our brains, we couldn't come up with strategies that you had used in the battle against the Senzal Clan."

The tigerman was a Half Saint Rank but he was acting humbly while talking to a Rank 8. He knew that Ralph was definitely a genius and it would be best to take his help.

Prideful by nature, the other beastkin were initially against asking the two boys for their help. It was only after they watched the battle and saw the spectacular performance of the two Rank 8s were they convinced.

Now here they were, seeking help from the two.

Dennis picked up the word that the Half Saint tigerman spoke and said, "Hey, I am not a berserker."

He wasn't. He was just a normal guy with the power to have a boost whenever he wanted and fight. How does this make him a berserker? Such were Dennis's thoughts.

Ralph ignored Dennis's comments and said to the tigerman, "Even if you need our help, why should we help you? There's also a matter of security involved in this."

Ralph didn't directly speak what he wanted and vaguely hinted to the beastkin.

What Ralph meant was, 'What benefit do we have in this and what if you attack us in the midst suddenly?'

The tigerman understood what Ralph was trying to say. Being an experienced person, he could read in between the lines.

The tigerman took out a box and placed it on the table. "This box contains a potent vitality elixir. It's one of the things that has kept us safe from being homeless all these years. There are two vials inside, you can take one now and the other one after we finish our attack."

The tigerman then got up and bowed. "We are sincere and bear no ill-will against you or the others. We just need your help, please accept our request."

The other beastkin also lowered their posture as they pleaded Ralph and Dennis for their help. Looking at how sincere they appeared, Ralph couldn't help but slightly ease his brows.

From what he knew about the beastkins, they were honest, prideful, and also wors.h.i.+ped strength. They had instincts and raw emotions like beasts but also had the intelligence of a human being.

Ralph was sure that the people in front could be trusted and so, he nodded his head and said, "Very well. We'll join you."

Joy appeared on the faces of the beastkin and they thanked Ralph.

Meanwhile, Dennis looked at the beastkins and then at Ralph and thought to himself, 'He didn't even ask me if I wanted to partic.i.p.ate in this or not? Of course I want to partic.i.p.ate, but he could at least ask.'

Dennis stared at Ralph with a suspicious gaze and Ralph eventually noticed it.

Ralph knew well what was going on in Dennis's mind. He got close to him and said softly to him, "If you want to back out, you can. But remember, you'll lose your chance of forming a connection with the people who make authentic ramen, karaage, and also, anime."

"Oh s.h.i.+t!" Dennis said and jumped in fright. How could he have not thought of this!?

'd.a.m.n, it would've been a big loss if I rejected this. Umu, Ralph is indeed a nice guy.' Dennis nodded his head and thought to himself. He then turned to look at Ralph and slapped his back twice.

"You're indeed my best friend. No wonder you always think of my best interests. Hahahaha!"

Ralph frowned and distanced himself from Dennis. "I don't even consider you as an acquaintance, let alone a friend. Please maintain your distance. I am only tolerating you because we have the same mutual friend."

Though Ralph said that, he was aware that Dennis was his best friend. He just didn't want to admit it for now and let Dennis have his ego boosted and feel satisfaction.

"Now, now, no need to be a tsun tsun. Look at those people, they are waiting for your instructions. Go work now." Dennis laughed and said.

Ralph wanted to deny Dennis's claims, but he was too busy to engage in pointless banter. He walked towards the beastkin sitting around a round table and he started formulating a plan with them.

While they waited, the other beast people provided Dennis with some manga and served refreshments to the Sect disciples.

Meanwhile, in the Senzal Clan territory, the battle had become heated and the entirety of the clan's army was now engaged in the fight.

Senzal Clan had a hundred and fifty of their own members, hundred and fifty people from the small families and powers, two hundred people from the elven army, and two hundred troops that they hired from the witches.

There were a total of seven hundred people on the battlefield and from the sect's side, there were just three hundred people. However, these three hundred people had a higher rank and also were better than the ones from the Senzal Clan.

The Elven army had a King Rank and a Half King along with three Saint Ranks but they hadn't sent these top powers to fight in the battle yet. Due to this, the three hundred people from the Sect still had a chance to survive on the battlefield.

The Elven army was on standby and were awaiting the orders from Senzal. There was also another mysterious King Rank affiliated with both the clans and was currently on standby as well.

The war may seem chaotic to outsiders but these top powers had everything under control. Even though the Shadow River Sect seemed to have an upper hand, the reality was that they could be wiped out at any time by the King Ranks hiding in the shadows.

These were the reasons why Senzal and Kenzal both were so relaxed. It cost them a huge sum to hire a King Rank, but it was worth it to have such a trump card. They were even more relieved to know that the elven army had also sent a King Rank for their help.

While the King Ranks waited for an opportune moment, Lith was still flying from one place to another, searching for the a.s.sa.s.sin.

Quite some time had pa.s.sed since he started his search without any results. Though it annoyed him that he wasn't able to find that person yet, he persisted in his goal even after a night had pa.s.sed and sun returned to the skies.

Lith, not being able to find the a.s.sa.s.sin, decided to make some changes in the plan. He took out his phone and called Wan.

On the phone, Lith explained to Wan about the King Ranks involved in this battle. He also warned that if the Sect did not send any person of that level, they were doomed to lose this war.

Wan wasn't surprised to hear that as Ling had already predicted such a thing from the beginning.

"Sir Ray, you need not worry. We have a King Rank with us as well, I am currently moving with him towards the battlefield with a few more members." Wan said on call.

"You better hurry up then." Lith said and cut the call.

If the two clans had the capital to hire a King Rank, it was obvious that the sect would have it as well. The sect's net worth exceeded the combined net worth of the two clans. The Sect only lacked one thing and that was connections.

It took their time to find a King Rank but their glaring lack of connections meant they were unsuccessful in hiring one. In the end, they contacted the witches and got in touch with one.

It was slightly more expensive than what the two clans paid for, but it was worth it.

Lith had no opinion on this as he had not used any of his connections. Yet.

"The Shadow River Sect is lucky that they have me." Lith said softly while continuing his search.

The Sect only had one King Rank but the Clans had two — Zelph and the mysterious a.s.sa.s.sin.

However, it was not a problem since Lith was going to take care of the mysterious King Rank a.s.sa.s.sin. That meant the sect only needed to take care of Zelph.

A few hours pa.s.sed and Sect Master Wan arrived with more people.

The Shadow River Sect members joined in the war and the total number of people on the Sect's side doubled. Now, the Shadow River Sect had well over six hundred men fighting in the Senzal Clan's territory .

The King Rank from the sect's side was an old looking man with a long white beard, wearing monk robes. He was also bald and appeared like a peaceful old man.

However, this old man ended up sending a powerful attack towards the army of the Senzal Clan, but it was eventually blocked by some mysterious force.

Just as that happened, Lith's eyes glowed red with a murderous glint. A vicious smile formed on his lips as he mumbled,

"Found you."
