The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 243 243: More Like A Progenitor



"That's why, if you were thinking about telling them my location to stop them..." Atlas smirked. "That would be no less than taking an ax and hitting it on your own foot."

"My presence or not, they will destroy the place you call home, no matter what you do. So it's actually not my war only. It's your war as well."

Atlas knew just what these Witches would be thinking and how naive they would be. That's why, he had already prepared an answer in advance to show them the mirror as to how it wasn't just his problem.

The Witches had no way to be sure if Atlas was telling the truth or not, but they really couldn't take a chance on it. If he was telling the truth, that meant they had too much risk in going to the Empire to help them catch him.

"You think you can stop them?" The old woman asked. "I wasn't alive when they last came here, but according to our books, it was a brutal defeat of your side. What makes you think that you can change anything this time?"

"Last time, we surrendered to protect this World and you ungrateful people. It wasn't our defeat. If anything, we could've fought for much longer." Vor was amazed at the ignorance of these Witches.

They were still very much in war before Luna ran away, and negotiated a deal which was forced onto them by Lilith. Both him and Castiel were against this proposal, However they had no choice but to go along with it after being emotionally manipulated into it.

Atlas and the other Progenitors promised that they would go to eternal sleep, especially Atlas, in exchange for the Empire leaving this World. On the contrary, this time they had no reason to avoid this war. Instead, they had an even bigger advantage this time in this war.

They knew exactly where the commander in chief of this war was hiding. What could be better than that?

"I promise you, we will win this war, no matter what I have to do," Atlas declared. Even though he wasn't Castiel, his words held importance as well. This was the last thing he had to do, and he had no intention of failing in this.

The old woman frowned, glancing back at the others in her group.

"What do you want us to do?" she asked Atlas. "Do you even have any plans?"

"We do, and we are going to be executing it in the morning. That's why we need your help," Lilith explained. "And before you say that it's such a short time for preparation, it's not. We don't need you to prepare your armies for it."

"There is just one fleet of the Empire in our area out of so many. We just need to take that one out for now, and the war will end. Since it's just one fleet, you twenty with us should be enough," she further continued.

"Moreover, with a smaller group, we can also move much faster without being detected. This just reduces the burden from us and increases our advantage."

Even though it was good if the Witches could bring their entire clans to fight for them, but it wasn't absolutely necessary. What was more important was to attack the fleet without any delay, since they didn't know if the Prince was going to leave for another area or not.

Even as Lilith told them the plan, she only told them plan B. She didn't tell the Witches Atlas' specific plan where he was going to go alone before their attack.

After Lilith told them her plan, she gave the old woman some time to think about it and discuss it with the others.

Not too far from the old woman, her granddaughter was still observing Atlas who looked slightly different. For some reason, she found Atlas to look even more powerful and confident than before. He didn't quite look like a Progenitor before, based on his actions and how he talked.

However, now she could feel that confidence and pride that a Progenitor was supposed to have in them. The way Atlas talked to her grandmother, she could actually believe that it was a person who was on equal footing to her grandmother if not higher.

The old woman walked back to the other Clan Leaders since it was a decision she couldn't take alone.

All the Witches cast a barrier around them to prevent Atlas and the others from hearing what they were speaking.

Atlas could only see their expressions. The Witches were discussing it quite intensely. He could also see some of them looking like they were yelling.

There seemed to be some disagreements in the group, which wasn't good news. However, the other witches looked like they were trying to get everyone on the same decision. As for what Decision that was, it was unclear.

"What do you think? Will they agree?" he asked Lilith.

"They have no choice but to agree. They might throw some tantrums but they'll agree. They have no other choice," Lilith answered.

"That's right. Majority of them already want to agree. But there's always that odd one out who does the opposite of the majority, no matter how good a decision it could be for them all. I think I can see who those odd ones out are in this case," Lucius also commented.

"It's good that we aren't giving them much time. If we attack in the morning, even if there are ones that want to tell the Empire, they will have no time," Vor smirked. "If not, there was a risk that while we were preparing, one of them could change their mind or go to the Empire to tell them."

"That's also one of the reasons I decided to attack on such short notice. It reduces the chances of betrayal to us," Atlas agreed with Vor's assumption. "I think we genuinely have a chance of success."

"Hah, it would definitely be worth it. Just seeing that old man's face when we catch his son. We will see if he still dares to attack earth."
