It turns out that the Blood Clan’s battles, just like in ancient tis, involve both sides choosing a place, setting up their formations, fighting a round, much like the old underworld bosses finding a secluded spot to let their underlings fight to resolve conflicts.
As long as you don’t exceed the tolerable limits, neither the Blood Clan Alliance nor the Guardian Alliance will intervene.
"Where is the place we are going this ti?" Lin Tian asked.
"A naless place, on the map, it’s marked as nothing more than a forest, where people have rarely set foot all year round," Luo Lin answered faintly.
"How many blood clan mbers can survive each battle Sinmore has with the Jimi Chi Clan?" Lin Tian pointed to the bus behind them and asked indifferently.
Luo Lin and Reya fell silent simultaneously. Under Lin Tian’s probing gaze, Luo Lin sighed slightly, "Humans control the population to survive; similarly, the Blood Clan will not allow the number of its mbers to increase too much."
"When the elders and princes feel that the number of the Blood Clan threatens the survival of the clan, they will let as many low-level Blood Clan mbers die as they want. Do you think the internal battles within the Blood Clan are solely due to hatred?" Luo Lin spoke calmly, but within that calmness, one could deeply feel the brutality of the Blood Clan.
It’s said that the most brutal law in human society is the law of the jungle, but the law of the Blood Clan is even harsher. In society, the weaker ones might end up at the bottom, but in the Blood Clan, the result is death.
Lin Tian asked no more questions. The off-road vehicle drove out of the alley, turned onto the high-speed lane, and the convoy quickly left Newcastle City. The convoy traveled along the empty highway, mostly surrounded by open plains.
In the moonlight, amid the grass and fields, the ancient city wall extending from the River Tyne could be seen, but much of it was too low, buried under wild grass.
A few hours later, there was no sign of human presence outside the vehicle, only the forest under the starry sky in sight. Yes, Lin Tian was now in the middle of the forest.
It must be said, England’s forest protection is excellent. Even at the roadside, one could see centuries-old towering trees, and many of them.
However, this road was nothing to admire. The originally cented road surface was cracked everywhere, and many cracks had weeds growing out of them. The off-road vehicle shook as it moved forward, making creaking noises at its chassis and doors, making Lin Tian almost suspect whether the car was about to fall apart.
In a country like England, it is rare to see such poorly maintained roads. This road seed abandoned, with human traces slowly fading away, and the forest vegetation reoccupying its territory.
Luo Lin saw Lin Tian’s confusion and explained, "This road was originally built by several logging companies, but later the governnt banned logging, so the logging companies withdrew, and the road was abandoned. There hasn’t been anyone around here for more than a hundred kiloters. It might have been better years ago, but in a few more years, there might be trees growing in the middle of the road."
"It really is desolate. Is this our destination?" Lin Tian pursued.
Luo Lin nodded and replied, "It’s about ten kiloters from the end of this road."
"Won’t the Jimi Chi Clan ambush us halfway?" Lin Tian looked at the dense forest outside the car and frowned as he asked.
The forest trees on both sides of the highway towered into the sky, low shrubs and various wild vines covered the ground, with even shorter green vegetation covering it. Now it’s sumr, the season when plants are most lush, with densely packed branches and leaves, making it impossible to see anything clearly beyond even a ter outside the road.
In such circumstances, never mind a Blood Clan attack, even an attack by tigers or bears is possible. Despite the Blood Clan’s prowess, those low-level Blood Clan mbers might even struggle against a big bear.
Luo Lin also glanced at the outside environnt but shook her head and said, "No, the Blood Clan has never launched such attacks."
Just as she finished speaking, a thunderous noise resounded from the forest, followed by several long black shadows flying out from the woods, heading straight towards the double-decker bus.
Lin Tian could see clearly that these flying black shadows were giant tree trunks, comparable to battering rams used in ancient tis to breach city gates.
With a series of loud crashes, the logs collided with the bus, tearing it apart from the middle. The bus was nearly cleaved in two.
"We’re under attack!" Reya shouted, and Luo Lin also reacted, but it was too late. A similarly massive log was crashing towards the off-road vehicle.
Lin Tian couldn’t care about much; he kicked open the car door and jumped directly out of the vehicle. However, he wasn’t fleeing; he was rushing towards the incoming log.
His speed was swift. After landing, he propelled himself off the ground again, launching upward, delivering a punch towards the log flying over his head.
With a loud bang, the log was shattered into pieces by his imnse strength. Though nurous splinters flew towards the off-road vehicle, at least it was spared from flipping over.
Once Lin Tian landed, the off-road vehicle screeched to a halt, and Luo Lin and the others rushed out, joining Lin Tian.
"Didn’t you say the Blood Clan doesn’t ambush?" Lin Tian questioned loudly.
"I don’t know either," Luo Lin frowned.
At this mont, the scene with the buses was a miserable sight, all having been smashed into a chaotic state. One was hit by four logs at once, actually splitting it into two, with the low-level vampires inside thrown or crushed, creating a chaotic scene.
These logs were so large that several adults couldn’t wrap their arms around them, and the tops had been deliberately sharpened. The impact force was imnse, comparable to cannonballs. Any of the first-struck low-level vampires might have been shattered.
"Reya, quickly have them regroup and ensure nobody flies into the air," Luo Lin quickly shouted.
Reya took the command, but just as he was about to run out, many Blood-sucking Bats suddenly erged from the overturned bus. Clearly, the low-level vampires attacked couldn’t help transforming to escape from the bus.
The bus had already started burning, and fire is the nesis of zombies, as well as vampires, let alone these low-level vampires.
However, just as these Blood-sucking Bats flew into the air, a sharp sound of wind cutting suddenly echoed from the forest. A series of blue light dots flew out from the woods, trailing long tails like arrows with ignited tips.
These blue "Fla Arrows" shot towards the Blood-sucking Bats in the air. The already panicked vampires couldn’t react in ti, and all got hit. The blue flas instantly set the bats ablaze.
The Blood-sucking Bats let out tragic screeches, burning as they fell from the sky. Every single one that took to the air plumted, and within re breaths, they were reduced to ashes.
The speed of these flying arrows wasn’t particularly fast. If they were on the ground or if the vampires were calm, they could easily dodge them at their speed. But the enemy caught them off guard, and before even formally engaging, Sinmore’s Blood Clan had already suffered heavy casualties.
