Chapter 232 232: The Whereabouts
As Lilith connected to the world, she began her search of people with the same Bloodline as Luna. From what she knew, there was supposed to be only one other person in the world with that Bloodline... Her brother.
Since the world was big, it was a search which could even take hours according to Lilith, so Atlas wasn't in a hurry. He had already prepared himself for a late answer.
While Lilith was immersed in her search, he turned to Vor.
"Vor, you wanted time to train Lancaster. I think this place is the perfect, right?"
"It is."
"After I am gone, you can train Lancaster. Tyler can also help you. I'm sure Lancaster and Tyler can both learn something from it," Atlas further stated.
"Are you indirectly asking me to train Tyler and your other men as well?" Vor asked. Even though Atlas was speaking indirectly like he was going to let Tyler train with them, it sounded more like he wanted him to train and make his Vampires stronger."
"In a way, yes." Atlas nodded. "I am going to end this war, but I don't know if I'll succeed or not. If I don't succeed, the war might reach you all as well. You'll be needing a stronger force when that time comes, and that's when they will be helping you."
"Tyler and the others aren't just my people. They are our people... The Vampires that should've been... I want them to survive and prosper."
Even though Atlas hated Vampires for the most part, he was quite impressed by Castiel's Vampires who weren't affected by the problems that other Vampires had.
They didn't go out, hunting humans, taking them hostage. Even though their solution wasn't ideal either, it was less problematic than getting their blood from children. If there were going to be a world where Vampires coexisted with the humans, he wanted that World to have these vampires.
Even if all the other Vampires died, it didn't matter.
"You don't have to speak much. You know you don't have to ask me. You couldn't just tell me what I need to do," Vor smiled in response. "At least that's how you used to do it when you had your memories. Don't worry though. I'll do it."
"I'll train them all, making them stronger. Moreover, this will also help in Lancaster's training. So it's not a bad idea at the core."
"That's right." Atlas nodded. "With this, we shoul-"
"Got it!" Lilith exclaimed, standing up.
"You found him?" Atlas shifted his focus. "So soon?"
Since she was so excited about this, it really looked like she found the person she was looking for. Moreover, she was so fast. This could only mean that the person wasn't too far either.
In other words, they probably didn't need to contact other Witches to create a portal formation and all the other mess. This was even better.
Moreover with this, they could come as a backup quite fast.
"Where?" Atlas asked, appearing before Lilith. "How far?"
"One day of travel from this town," Lilith answered.
"That's very close. I don't know if it's because we're lucky or if it's because they were lucky to end up so close to us..." Luna muttered.
She was still somewhat worried for Atlas. She didn't want him to be hurt as she knew just what kind of dangers it had.
Atlas ignored Luna's words and focused on Lilith. "Where is he?"
"He's in the force where we found Luna for the first time. He's in Vor's forest."
"You'll have to be more specific than that," Atlas didn't know where Vor's forest was. He wasn't actually Castiel after all.
"Ah, right. It's between the Kingdom of Wolves and the town where we fought and Blood Council just recently. So it's not far. I can create a map for you," Lilith explained.
"By the way, since they are so close, isn't it better if we all attack them directly? Even if they call backup, we can already take them down by then?" She further suggested, finding her plan safer than Atlas plan.
Atlas shook his head. "Your plan will still alert them first and get them ready. I want to attack them when they aren't ready. However, we can still use your plan as well."
"What do you mean? How can we use both the plans at the same time?"
Atlas didn't answer and turned to Luna, who was also heavily invested in the discussion.
"Luna, what's the range of your people and ships? How far can they sense us?" he asked.
"For you, it's very far. They can sense you even across galaxies if you're with your real aura. But without it, they won't know what to look for. However if it's Vor and your other Vampires, I suppose a few kilometres should be the range just to be on the safe side."
"I see... That's not much, honestly." Atlas nodded in full seriousness. He focused back on Lilith.
"Ten kilometres... I want you all to stay ten kilometres away from the forest. If I fail, you are to attack only then. But until then, not a single person should know about your existence there."
Atlas decided to compromise with both the plans. Since the enemy fleet was near, it was better to attack it with full force even if he failed in his first attempt.
He knew that if he failed or was caught, the enemies would be celebrating his capture, not expecting an even bigger army near their shores, waiting to attack them. As her own plan was also accepted, Lilith was quite pleased as well.
With the new plan, Atlas didn't need to take all the risk. Ever Luna was quite happy. This really reduced the risk for Atlas which she was worried about.
However, this also meant that this was going to be the final war. Either they succeeded, or they were all going to die. There was no escaping this time! This was the final battle from what she could understand…
