I Became The Vampire Progenitor
Chapter 91: The Pride of Dawn City’s Residents

Though Li De had anticipated that the second-generation Bloodline Descendants would improve after the removal of the bloodline shackles, he hadn’t expected the improvement to come so quickly.

It had only been a day, yet four second-generation Bloodline Descendants had already reached Level 10. This left him astonished.

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the vampires’ underlying potential. The innate talents of superior races truly could not be underestimated.

This was only the beginning. Previously, the second-generation Bloodline Descendants were restricted by the bloodline shackles to a maximum of Level 9, while the third-generation Bloodline Descendants hovered around Levels 6, 7, and 8.

Now that the bloodline shackles were removed, the vampires’ strength would soon experience an explosive surge.

According to the memories of the Vampire Progenitor, the vampires’ power hadn’t seen much change over the past few decades. After decades of accumulation, Li De believed the vampires would surely bring him a great surprise.

Moreover, it wasn’t as though there were no talented individuals among the third-generation Bloodline Descendants—it was just that their development had been constrained by the bloodline shackles, resulting in the pyramid-like structure of vampire society.

The Vampire Progenitor stood at the top of the pyramid with the highest level, followed by the second-generation Bloodline Descendants, and then the third-generation Bloodline Descendants below them.

This structure ensured that the Vampire Progenitor remained firmly at the apex of power, capable of tightly controlling the vampires. This was especially crucial during the vampires’ weaker developmental stages to ensure the Progenitor wouldn’t face betrayal.

Li De didn’t know whether the Vampire Progenitor’s innate talent included the Bloodline Descendants’ unwavering loyalty before he took over this body or if it was activated after he assumed control.

Thus, he refrained from hastily judging whether the decision to impose the bloodline shackles that limited power was correct. If the vampires hadn’t been loyal to the Progenitor back then, such measures might have been necessary to ensure his safety.

But now, with the vampires’ unwavering loyalty secured, he no longer hesitated.

Moreover, he had absolute confidence in surpassing all the vampires.

The fourth batch of humans had arrived.

Late at night, when Li De saw the enormous Whispering Bats descending onto Dawn City’s square with a crowd of people, a broad smile spread across his face.

He had thought Odys and the others would return immediately after receiving his orders, but he hadn’t expected them to bring back over a thousand humans.

And these second-generation Bloodline Descendants had also broken through to Level 10—what pleasant surprises!

After landing on the square, most of the displaced commoners wore expressions of fear and unease.

Compared to the surrounding crowd, they looked like frightened little rabbits.

Hedgehog had become quite adept at welcoming new arrivals. He gestured to Remon beside him, “Remon, you do the talking again. I’m not good with words.”

Remon shrugged and chuckled, “Every time it’s your turn, you make me do it. Aren’t you afraid your son will laugh at you?”

Hedgehog grinned proudly, “That little brat wouldn’t dare! You don’t know how proud he’s been lately because his father is a member of the security squad.”

Being part of the security squad, a department under Dawn City’s City Hall, brought him immense pride.

On ordinary days, simply wearing the security squad uniform and stepping out with the red armband drew looks of respect.

In Li De’s vision, the role of the security squad was akin to police, though with significantly greater authority.

Whenever they discovered violations of Dawn City’s laws, the security squad had the autonomy to handle matters themselves—even carrying out executions.

Over this period, the security squad’s operations had gradually matured. The original team of 30 now had a reserve force of 100 members.

Next time, they only needed to recruit more to quickly expand to over a hundred members—a definite boon for Dawn City’s growing population.

Although Porter’s Wild Wolf Gang had been eradicated, petty theft and minor crimes inevitably occurred with the growing population. The presence of the security squad effectively deterred such behavior.

“Everyone, don’t panic. This is Dawn City. We are under the protection of the Saintlight Vampires, and they will not harm us.

I am a member of Dawn City’s security squad, and we are all humans.”

Having delivered this speech several times, Remon was well-versed in the routine. His confident and steady words visibly calmed the surrounding crowd.

“I’ll repeat, we are all humans, and thousands of humans live in Dawn City. Here, your lives and property are protected by Dawn City.

In this great city, you will find everything you desire.

I swear that after registering your information, all of you will come to praise this city.”

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd immediately grew skeptical. Registering their information would make them love this city? What kind of joke was this? This was a city of vampires!

However, after hearing Remon’s words, the crowd felt somewhat reassured. At the very least, there were many humans in this city, and the vampires didn’t kill humans on sight.

As for the vampires claiming to be Saintlight Vampires, aside from a small number who were somewhat trustful, most humans didn’t believe it.

Queueing up, registration, receiving free food, and being assigned housing—

This process had become the fixed procedure for receiving displaced commoners.

The originally fearful and panicked crowd slowly began to change after completing the registration.

Their initial anxiety, fear, and even despair transformed into hope and a faint sense of disbelief in a short span of time.

All of this stemmed from the information they received during the registration process.

Dawn City not only provided free daily food but also distributed free housing. More importantly—they allocated land.

This critical piece of news left them almost overwhelmed. Their previous worries and fears seemed powerless in the face of land.

Such strong hope made many feel as though they were reborn.

Especially when the surrounding members of the security squad and logistics team repeatedly told them how they had received their land just two days ago. Their excitement and pride dispelled any lingering doubts.

If one person lied, it would obviously be a falsehood. But when everyone around repeated the same thing, even lies could seem real. Moreover, every member of the security squad and logistics team had genuinely received their own land.

Facing these anxious newcomers, it was inevitable that they would feel a sense of pride and boast about their points, how they were allocated land, and their unmistakable pride.

Throughout this process, the vampires were unavoidable. This race, which had been portrayed as incredibly evil in human legends, now appeared great and noble. Almost everyone lavished praise upon the vampires without reservation.

Li De didn’t personally organize this reception of the new population. He concealed himself, listening intently to how the surrounding crowd praised the vampires, extolling the greatest leader of the Saintlight Vampires, Lord Kachar, the master of Dawn City.

What a delightful thing.

Li De wore a broad smile.

However, after a while, he reluctantly departed.

Because Odys and the others had returned.
