Interestingly, the entire vampire territory seemed to quickly turn into a ghost town. No matter how the advance team explored, they couldn't find a single clue as to where they were going... However, the livestock used as food remained in place.

Besides, there are things like half-brewed black tea... If it was a premeditated escape, one shouldn't have left without finishing the tea.

In other words, it was a sudden evacuation...

Judging from all indications, the evacuation took place today.

"..."

"Did they escape? Where did they escape to?"

As Satan asked this, she considered the location of the vampire territory, blinked in confusion, and casually guessed, "An empire or a duchy? It's quite easy for vampires to hide among humans."

Yes, from a general perspective, that might be the case. Of course, it could also be the orcs' side... After all, once they retreat into the forest, it would be difficult for them to catch them.

However, given the nature of vampires, they probably cannot accept retreating into the mountains.

and……

"Too fast."

As Ira spoke, he stroked Satan's head and looked around... this spotless hall. He squinted and looked around, but found nothing.

"Yes, vampires are definitely not that fast..."

Serena, herself a vampire, said this simply: "If we try to escape in the conventional sense, no matter what method we use, we can't escape our sight."

Yes, whether they transformed into bats to fly or simply relied on their legs to run, it was impossible to use this time to prevent the Demon King's army from seeing them fleeing in the distance.

After all, this team includes monsters like harpies... Due to their race, even without specialized training, they can be considered to have incredibly powerful clairvoyance.

"Then I have to consider a special way to escape."

As Ira said this, Hilina seemed to immediately realize something. She flapped the little succubus wings behind her and analyzed, "She probably teleported away through dimensional travel..."

Yes, this is one of the most likely possibilities.

"But there was no trace of Mana."

Vera, who was very knowledgeable about magic, said this after looking around. "So, it's probably a dimensional travel that was carried out through a ritual or some kind of powerful treasure."

They were extremely powerful. The leaders of the Demon King's territory were all highly skilled experts in their respective fields, so through their joint efforts, they were able to guess the facts with remarkable accuracy in a very short time.

What kind of ceremony would require such secrecy?

As Ira said this, he rubbed his foot on the spotless hall floor and said, "The meaning of the ritual is quite obscure. Even if the ritual is preserved, we still need to spend time deciphering the other party's goal."

If the teleportation to another plane is carried out through a ritual, as long as the consumption of ritual items is calculated, it is almost impossible for Ira and the people of the Demon King's territory to know each other's destination by the ritual itself after the ritual items have been consumed.

Even if Vera were invincible and learned everything from the smallest details, it's unlikely that Ira would actually cross dimensions to hunt her down... After all, the other dimension is always the other party's home turf.

...except for a few special dimensions that Iraq considers its home ground.

For example...

"The Blood Realm, a Blood Realm filled with blood, it is perfectly reasonable for vampires to go there."

As Ira said this, he looked at the hall floor, which had been wiped very clean, and said, "If it were the Blood Realm, I would be able to tell it was the Blood Realm very quickly if the surrounding environment wasn't properly maintained."

"Oh oh oh!"

Vera raised an eyebrow. She began to realize that what Ira said was very likely true. She asked Ira, "So what are you going to do? Fight your way into the Blood Realm? Or are you just going to give up?"

Iraq simply shook her head and didn't say anything more...

It's impossible to trace back, and it's very likely that the purge of the vampires will end here.

"First of all, the Blood Realm is just my guess. In fact, it is very likely that it is not as I said. There are probably many rituals that need to be concealed. Moreover, the ritual preparations required to go to the Blood Realm are not something we can easily gather right now."

Ira said this, and it was indeed the case... The more common rituals that can lead to the Blood Realm, whether it is the Mirror Ritual or the Blood Gate Ritual, all require the use of the blood of creatures from the Blood Realm.

In other words, the Blood Realm is more like an invitation system, where the Blood Realm races, through other ongoing rituals, send the blood of Blood Realm creatures to those who need blood for the ritual.

If this method is not feasible, then we would need to find people with the ability to travel the world, or to find a relatively small number of natural blood-bound creatures in the prime plane.

Moreover, vampires may not necessarily have escaped according to their own will. They may have been kidnapped, killed irrationally, or simply vanished without any ritual... All of these are possible.

"so……"

Satan said this with a hint of regret, and the other leaders also expressed some regret, as if they really wanted to complete the entire purge at this moment... But the truth is, there is no need to rush.

So, please try to take it easy.

As Ira spoke, he calmly looked at Senata, who was clearly unable to fulfill her resolve despite her determination, and stroked her little wings in comfort. He said, "One day, we will achieve everything, but that moment is not now."

"Let's move on to the next goal... We're not in a hurry, but we can't afford to idly pursue any particular rebel."

As he said this, Ira decisively folded his wings. He waved for everyone to follow, then, as if remembering something, turned his head and said, "I will take some time to go to the Blood Realm later. At that time... it won't be too late to deal with them as I please."

These were very calm words, as if they were a simple statement, but every leader standing here at this moment could realize that... if the vampires were not truly determined to betray them, then perhaps their obedient submission today would be the least likely option to truly "submit their necks."

The unfavorable start didn't seem to leave much of a mark on Iraq, but it's unlikely that it left no trace. So, let's just say we should feel sorry for the future of their territory...

The other three territories: ! @#%”~?,
