Regus had put aside his pride as a king to ask Rhea for help.
He sincerely hoped the dragon's came around, because a lot of vampire lives would be lost if they did not help them in their fight against the dragon's who had joined Satan.
The practical part inside Regus told him that he should not hold much expectations, which was why he was already planning a diplomatic mission to the elven camp when unexpectedly the news came that Rhea had agreed to the proposal.
Apparently the clan's loyal to the dragon king were boiling for revenge and did not want to let go of the opportunity to bring the fight to the betrayers now that it was presented before themselves.
Hence, not for the primary reason of helping the vampire's, but rather for their own personal motivations, the dragon's decided to join the vampire camp, bolstering their strength significantly.
However, Rhea had her conditions to join this arrangement which demanded that she and her elders all be included in all war strategy and decision meetings.
Since this was going to be a joint operation, Rhea did not want the leadership to solely fall on Regus Aurelius's shoulders.
Nonetheless this was very good news for the vampires as this gave them a fair fighting chance against their opponents now.

( Meanwhile Sebastian and Kremeth )
Perched atop a distant hill, Kremeth and Sebastian squinted through the darkness at the bustling Ogre encampment.
Apparently the Ogres had just come back in the afternoon from winning an orb raid against a light faction camp and were now celebrating for over 10 hours.
The wild celebration of the ogres included lots of booze drinking and dancing as their laughter, and their brutish gestures were all too evident to Sebastian and Kremeth even from a fair distance away.
" They are wasted, they won't be able to muster up a proper defence if we attack directly now, I think we should strike while they're so out of it " Sebastian suggested as Kremeth shook his head in disappointment making Sebastian rethink the approach.
" Try again " Kremeth instructed as after pondering for a bit Sebastian's eyes brightened as he said "Master, what if we make a covert entrance, snatch the orb when they least expect it, and hightail it out of there?"
Kremeth shook his head again as he said " yes, I agree since they are all intoxicated more probably than not your plan will work.
We can get in there and crush the orb and make a run for it, but there is a slight possibility that the orb guardians are not drunk and are strong.
Maybe some drunk ogre mistakes you for his child and starts to maul you?
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Maybe they are playing a drunk game of darts and accidentally poke you?
Why take the risk ?
Why not sit here and let your undead do all the work without being involved at all? "
Sebastian nodded seriously, he had considered this approach but he saw many demerits in this method which included but was not limited to the strength of his undead army.
" Master they are at least 200,000 strong, I can summon 250,000 undead against them but it'll still be a dangerous battle " Sebastian said as he voiced his opinion but Kremeth only smacked him on his head as he said " It would be if I'm not here, with me already here with you why do you fear anything? "
Sebastian's eyes widened as he finally understood the full picture!
His master, a bonafide tier8 god was with him, why did he need to fear his army not winning?
With a flick of his finger, his master could wipe the entire enemy camp even without his help.
Understanding this fact, Sebastian did not delay the summoning of his army even a second longer as with a mental command, Sebastian's necromancer's ring pulsed, and the ground teemed with the undead.
The once raucous Ogre encampment turned into a battlefield, the undead army launched a surprise assault and dampened all the festivities.
The Ogres fought back in their drunken state, their clubs and axes swinging wildly as they often lost their footing and accidentally bashed allies.
Watching the chaos unfold, Kremeth with a twinkle in his eye, summoned a gust of wind, [Gale of Disorientation], and sent it whirling towards the battleground.
The gust which was laced with a special scent that deteriorated one's sense of balance swept through the camp, throwing the Ogres off balance, turning their confusion into panic.
Since the undead had no noses to smell they were unaffected by the move.
With the wind adding to the woes of the Ogres, they struggled against the relentless undead and swiftly began to fall by the thousands.
The undead were gaining the upper hand and with their assault, Sebastian was quickly gaining lots of levels fulfilling Kremeth's purpose.
Finally as the undead swept through the ogre lines, their numbers dwindled.
A skeletal figure approached the orb, its bony hand reaching out to shatter the light blue glowing object.
*Crush*
With a satisfying crunch the first base was cleared as the master- disciple cowardly duo swiftly retreated after the raid and regrouped for one day.
The process was repeated with an necromantic encampment on the next day.
The necromantic encampment consisted of 5 main necromancer's who were responsible for the summoning and functioning of all the undead.
The cowardly duo observed first and then exchanged ideas before they both agreed that the best course of action was for Kremeth to take out all 5 necromancer's from distance and by surprise and then his undead to fight their purposeless undead and get easy victory.
Executing this plan flawlessly, Kremeth was able to teach Sebastian new lessons as he gave him more knowledge and context about what all moves the Vayu-Astra could perform and how it could be coupled with his cowardly necromantic ring for him to do this all by himself.
Of Course this was all done discreetly as Kremeth never explicitly mentioned that he would give him the Vayu-Astra and just pretended to lecture him normally.
Lastly, they turned their attention to a group of Goblins, nestled within a forest clearing. Sebastian suggested a plan, Kremeth offered a more cowardly strategy, and the undead were once again summoned. The gusts of wind disoriented the Goblins, their shrieks echoing in the forest.
Sebastian and Kremeth watched from their hilltop as the undead ploughed through the Goblin defenders, steadily making their way towards the orb. The orb was soon reached, and with a swift blow, the final orb shattered into pieces with Sebastian quickly reaching his tier limit due to Kremeth's help and killing close to 600,000 enemy soldiers in a span of only 5 days.
As the third orb crumbled, Sebastian turned to his master. "Master, I never thought being a coward could be this... efficient."
Kremeth chuckled, patting his disciple's back. "Now you're getting it! It's not about bravery or honour; it's about survival. And we, my boy, are survivors."
Although the cowardly duo was secretly planning to become more cowardly, the news that a mad turtle and the second division commander of the Bloodfall clan were on a high stakes duo-raid mission had spread throughout the Dimensional Battlefield.
Sebastian was a celebrity all over again as although he himself was just having the time of his life doing raids in easy mode alongside Kremeth, the overall situation of the war was such that only 1 orb was being destroyed per day per side, so for him to destroy 3 in five days brought a lot of attention to his activities.
Names like " The unstoppable dwarf " , " One dwarf army " and " The unfazed dwarf " were being used for Sebastian.
His image was shaping to be that of being one of the greatest Daredevils when the reality was anything but.
Thankfully, before the news of this reputation fell on the ears of the master-disciple duo, the two had left the dimensional battlefield for Sebastian's promotion test.

( Meanwhile Rudra )
It had been a long time since Rudra had last brandished a sword.
Sometimes he wondered if he had slipped, or if he would not be as sharp as he used to be when he was fighting regularly, but by now swordsmanship was ingrained in his muscle memory and even when he did not practise it, he could practically feel all of his moves.
As the time of his revenge drew near, Rudra finally picked up a training wooden sword and began to hack at the dummies in the soldier training area within the Aurelius stronghold, just to sharpen his senses.
While he did use force beyond what an old tier1 man could exert, nor did he use a sharp sword, he hacked through the metal dummies as if they were butter, as the entire training field was stunned silent when they saw the old man.
His grace, his elegance, his postural balance were impeccable and showed his years of mastery with the object as once he re-experienced the joy of using one sword, his hands began itching to use his familiar two sword style, but he refrained.
The next time he used two sword style, it would be to take off Lucifer's head, not before!
