The First Vampire-Chapter 725 - : 723 Conquer_1
Chapter 725: 723 Conquer_1
As Mage Andre stepped through the gates of Yevir, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief.
The journey to the east had been a complete failure.
The two prodigies in the history of the Mage Council who had broken the limitations of the Holy Field — Mr. Ji and Mage Kurd, had failed to change the uncomfortable position of the mages.
This sent a wave of panic and confusion through Mage Andre — where was the future of Yevir?
More crucially, how were they to handle the upcoming retaliation from the Empire of Light?
Threaten them with large scale forbidden spells of massacre?
...
But Mage Andre awkwardly discovered that Yevir might now not even be able to muster enough sixth-tier mages to launch a large forbidden spell.
After all, the attrition of the sixth-tier mages had been too severe in these recent years.
Upon this thought, Mage Andre couldn’t help but resent Mr. Ji again; If this guy hadn’t caused a sacrificial event at Fallen Eagle City, which both escalated the conflict between mages and the Empire of Light and incited unrest in Yevir.
The temptation of the Holy Field was too strong to resist!
As a result, White Dew City, Storm Fortress, Huorong City… attempted the feat of Fallen Eagle City time and again, but they all failed, wasting valuable sixth-tier mages.
Mage Andre suddenly understood why his old master, Mage Ernest, had been so worried, instead of surprised, when he heard the news about Fallen Eagle City.
The forbidden spell ‘Eyes of Judgement’, may bring more disaster than hope to the mages!
Of course, it was too late to regret now.
Andre knew that Sir Colin St. Chapman would not let Yevir off lightly this time.
So, what Yevir needs to do now is to show a force that would make him wary, to let him know that the mages still had the ability to die together!
Lost in thought, Andre had already reached the foot of the Tower of Mages in the city center.
“Acting President Sir.” The guard at the door bowed immediately in salutation.
Andre nodded, then ordered, “Summon all the members of the council immediately for an emergency meeting!”
“Ah? Oh, okay, okay! I’ll go inform them right away!”
…
Two hours later, Andre stood on the podium in the great hall, looking at the nearly full venue below, he then declared loudly:
“Alright, everyone. Due to the urgency of the matters, I will not wait for the members who have not yet arrived. This time I’ve summoned you all here…”
Andre suddenly found his voice shrinking, as if the air in the hall had stagnated, preventing his voice from transmitting.
As he was surprised, a young man dressed in a black Duke ceremonial dress walked into the room with steady strides.
Wherever he went, it seemed as if he were the center of the world. Even though he was moving towards the center of the hall, it seemed more like the entire Tower of Mages was moving closer to him, welcoming him to the center of the hall.
Colin St. Chapman!
Mage Andre instantly recognized this Duke of the Empire, who was said to have reached the realm of legend. His heart was instantly filled with fear.
“Good day, mages.”
Only after Colin greeted everyone did Andre break free from the time-space disorder, gasping for breath.
The hall was eerily silent.
All the mages gazed stupidly at the tall and heroic young Duke, unable to summon any thought of confronting him.
“Du… Duke St. Chapman!”
Andre, trembling, bowed his head, not daring to meet Colin’s gaze.
“No need to be nervous.” Colin patted Andre’s shoulder in a friendly manner, displaying a warm smile, “I am here for peace.
Of course, unless what you want is… war!”
As he uttered the last two words, the legendary Holy Knight’s aura surged out, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
All the mages in the hall felt a fear coming straight from their souls as if their hearts were gripped by an invisible giant hand, leaving them utterly breathless.
For a moment, death felt so near.
But soon, this aura dissipated again, as if nothing had happened.
The mages collapsed in their seats, their minds filled with only one thought—
Colin St. Chapman, is invincible!
“Ce… certainly…” Andre struggled to speak, “We also wish to live in peace with the Empire…”
“Very well!” Colin nodded in satisfaction, “Starting from today, Yevir will become a part of the Empire of Light. You will go to Dragon City and swear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen. As for the President of the Mage Council, Her Majesty also has the right to appoint.”
“Yes! Your Grace.” Mage Andre responded reverently, but after a moment’s hesitation, he summoned up his courage and asked, “But… The Church has always regarded us mages as Blasphemers…”
“Rest assured. It will not in the future.” Colin responded with indisputable authority, “The code of conduct of the Mage Council will be decided by Her Majesty and has nothing to do with the Church. As long as you pledge your loyalty to Her Majesty, you will no longer have to worry about bearing the stigma of blasphemy from now on.”
“Thank you, Your Grace!” Andre bowed again.
At that moment, he clearly understood that Yevir’s status of independence had been completely dissolved. From now on, the mages would serve as the vassals of the Royal Family, restricted by royal power.
But at the same time, they would also receive protection from royal power.
Whether such changes were good or bad for the mages, Andre found it difficult to say at the moment.
But one thing he was very clear about—
If they did not compromise now, the Mage Council might indeed be destroyed by the Duke standing before them.
As the meeting was dismissed, the mages departed one after another in a stupor, their hearts filled with unease and apprehension for their future.
Yet, no one dared to stand up and resist.
The legendary Holy Knight, the invincible divine being to them.
“Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of Yevir, I, Andre, in my capacity as the 21st Vice President of the Mage Council, announce the surrender to the Empire of Light.

Here we will offer unparalleled loyalty to the distinguished Royal Family of the Empire, the Lorenzo Family…”
The voice of Mage Andre, amplified by a magic trumpet, resounded throughout the whole of Yevir.
As all the people in the city turned in astonishment towards the direction of the Tower of Mages, they saw the heroic figure standing in mid-air on top of the tower.
The oppressive power of the legendary Holy Knight engulfed the whole of Yevir, causing everyone to involuntarily kneel in submission.
The resonating sound of horse hooves commenced at that moment.
Several groups of the Blood Knight Army unobstructedly entered this Arcane City, swiftly taking control of the four city gates, as well as the main streets and essential buildings within the city.
From then on, Yevir officially became part of the Empire of Light.
The Mage Council, an organization that had been opposing the imperial aristocracy for a thousand years, finally lowered their noble heads before the legendary Holy Knight.
