On the vampire's side, they were secretly planning a sudden and decisive war against humans.
However, the humans had no idea and were still basking in the joy of Nathan's victory over the vampire's chief prince, Lux.
Nathan wanted to pursue and expand the victory, so he gathered the alliance's deputy commanders, Eugene IV, Leopold, and Wolfric, along with the powerful War Gods, to discuss the next step of besieging and destroying the vampires.
However, everyone hesitated when they heard about entering the vampire-occupied territory to fight them.
Some said they should not be too hasty, while others believed that it was too risky to enter the vampire-occupied territory where countless vampires and bondslaves were lurking.
Some even agreed to attack the vampires but refused to send their own soldiers, claiming that they had to take responsibility for their soldiers' lives.
Nathan was helpless in the face of these refusals and felt a headache coming.
Many small Adrune countries and areas were destroyed by the vampires during the blood virus outbreak, and those areas became vampire-occupied territories.
However, the current larger Adrune countries still had advanced technology and a large number of soldiers. Their territories and people were not affected by the vampiric invasion.
Since they could still live in peace, they did not want to send their soldiers to the vampire-occupied territories to fight.
Wolfric and many others suggested that it was good enough to simply surround and block the vampires. Sending their soldiers to fight in the vampire-occupied territory would not benefit them, so they did not agree.
In the end, Nathan's plan to attack the vampires had to be temporarily shelved.
After the meeting, Nathan returned to his residence while feeling drained, and Colin brought him hot water to wash his face and relieve his fatigue.
