Army of the Damned

VOLUME 6 Chapter 4

Assured, Alana starts packing her things as a Spanish UN detachment arrives with a Chilean Guild. Both having bought helicopters and an entire logistics company full of fuel and maintenance parts for aircraft. They've also bought with them Bpz Kodiaks Engineering Tanks equipped with plows and an excavator arm from a German guild that had some equipment to spare. With her things packed, she tells her Ranger to lead the way, flying away and going back to the Kingdom. Meanwhile, the reinforcements had already started clearing a path and helping some of the Vampire Legions carriages that were buried under snow. On her way back, she couldn't help but feel uneasy as she didn't even feel the Queen as she appeared right behind her.

Arriving at her Mansion after a few hours of flight, she immediately looks at the entire report of what transpired.

"To: Lady Alana From: Lord Freidrich, Commander of the 3rd Crimson Knight Regiment.

I apologize for the apt message but my men had not only captured the daughter of the Arestal family, but had caught her in the act. At around Sunfall, Novenix 15 of the Fourth Reset, a patrol that was skimming through the outskirts of the cattle town of Skype heard a scream to which they immediately responded. Only to find Madam Hannah, feasting on a teenage boy of the town. Though the men gave chase, the purity of her blood prevented them from continuing further. I'd like to recommend an immediate response to the Arestal's. Though I'm aware of your schedule Lady Minuit, I'd hope you'd be able to do something. The Minuit family has been known for its quality leadership and cunning skills in politics and combat.

Sincerely, your Lord Freidrich Hanniette the Third."

Reading it, she stands up and her Butler teleports, ready to listen to her order. "Get me my horse." Just like that, her horse is delivered to the courtyard where she rides into the inner regions that surround the Capital city. The landscape was a winter wonderland, the open fields were shining as the super white snow covered the land and Cows were sitting pretty in the fields. Being a Vampire, the cold didn't bother her. Traveling on low temperatures in her iconic red gown as her hair sways wildy from the speed. She passes by a group of Nobles enjoying their time, throwing snowballs at each other. Bowing as the lady passed them by. Though everyone was beautiful and handsome and always at the peak of their health, those with pure bloods simply had an otherworldly attraction.

Though the trip took her three hours, she soon arrived at the Arestal Manor. It was surrounded by acres of open snowy fields. Giving it a very solemn feeling as its weathered walls and rusted gate slowly swing, opened by the well dressed Servants. Inside, one of their Maids runs towards the upper floors where the Master's bedroom is located. Through the expensive yellow and gold carpet and ornate hallways made of porcelain tiles, did the young servant arrive. Politely knocking three times.

"Yes, what is it?" A groggy voice of a mature woman could be heard inside the wooden door full of Victorian art.

"Lady Minuit has visited and had requested for your presence Baroness."

"WHAT?! The Countess has arrived?! Was a letter sent?!"

"None Baroness."

"Awaken my daughter and prepare our best dresses!"

Hearing this, the maid bows and quickly rushes downstairs. Seeing the commotion, Alana lets herself in and sits on the sofa inside a large living room. She was given tea, which she partakes in as she awaits for the Arestals to arrive. While silently sitting down, she calls for a Servant when an old elderly man comes.

"Yes, Lady Minuit?"

"Is the Baron here?"

"I apologize, but Sir Arestal is currently at the Capital. Dealing with urgent matters concerning external conflicts and politics."
