Undying Warlord

“You did great, Dilan! I never saw everyone so excited to fight!!” Kathrine clasped her hands together as she smiled radiantly.

She looked at Dilan in excitement and could hardly believe that he was only 21 years old. Which 21-year-old would be able to lead a group like Dilan was doing right now?

“He has a lot to learn but his actions today were pretty neat. There was a lot he could have done better but there is room for improvement in giving a motivational speech in front of others,” Sven said in a simple and straightforward manner, almost dousing Kathrine’s excitement like blowing on a candle flame.

She glared at him and felt like hurling her fist at him but her own sister nodded her head at Sven’s comment.

“I thought Dilan couldn’t speak well in front of big masses. He is not really an extrovert or good at socializing but he did pretty well….even I was excited. It was weird,” Yvonne remarked when stating her opinion about the meeting with everyone that had ended just a few minutes ago.

Everyone was ready to give their best to fight against the Vampires and the other existences that would challenge and attack them in the future. Not all of them were combat-oriented Ascenders but that was not necessary, to begin with.

All Survivors could help in their own way, whether it was to collect some corpses after the battle, tend to the wounds of the injured Ascenders, provide enough potions and supply them to everyone during the battle, or do anything else as the need arose.

There were numerous ways to show their support in a war, and participating directly in the battles was only the most apparent one. One could see the contribution of the fighting Ascenders clearly but that didn’t mean it was the only important task.

Everyone would play a crucial role and Dilan made this clear by stating that he wanted to fight with everyone, together in whatever way they could support him!

“My heart skipped a beat when I listened to Dilan’s speech. It may have been a bit rough but I believe that everyone, who knows Dilan will feel like me!” Yvonne added, smiling lightly when she recalled that Dilan wanted to fight with everyone instead of storming into the group of Vampires all by himself.

Fighting alone had been the first plan he had proposed and it was only obvious that Yvonne and the others didn’t like it.

Not only would fighting alone mean that Dilan clearly showed everyone that he didn’t need them, which would demotivate his people, but it would also lead to all the Ascenders starting to believe that they didn’t have it in them to become stronger which in turn would mean that Dilan would always be forced to fight alone.

The Ascenders would feel useless and they would stop working on increasing their powers instead of giving their all to become stronger.

During the last few days, all the Ascenders had worked tirelessly to become their strongest self. Dilan and the others had noticed this. If Dilan would have chosen to fight alone, despite all this, it would have dampened the spirits of the majority of group members who would have felt that their leader didn’t trust them. The resultant effect would have been much worse than the worst-case scenario in the war against the Vampire families.

Even if Dilan wanted to act in a way wherein the least Survivors would be injured, or even meet their deaths, he couldn’t just fight by himself all the time. This would cause more trouble and deaths in the long-term than training his people to join the fight right from the beginning would.

Dilan slowly began to understand this as well, which was also why he brought Silas and Kuhn along with himself to fight against the Blood Legion.

Dilan was slowly changing and the only thing he needed was some experience with the mindset of fellow humans, social skills, and enhancing his leadership skills. He moved in the correct direction but he would need some time to become the best version of himself.

Everyone could tell this but they also knew that Dilan was working hard to change for the best. This was not only great for the people around him but also very helpful for himself as well.

“How about we split up and distribute the tasks of the distribution of weapons and treasures, and setting up a few small traps in the next few hours? I know that we cannot make something big but with the use of the Survivors, and the Ascenders, who won’t join the battle later, we should be able to create a few deadly traps, right?” Dilan understood that his friends meant the best when they talked about how he had changed but it felt a bit weird.

He was trying to change but it didn’t feel like he had actually changed, not for the better, at least. It was a fact that he was not a born leader and his only advantage was that he was quite imposing, respected by the others for executing his rules and that he was powerful enough to overwhelm everyone.

Instead of an ordinary King, who sat on his throne, and ruled everyone with an iron fist, he felt more like a Warlock, who fought at the front of the army, and led them while facing the deadliest and strongest opponents fearlessly.

Of course, Dilan had not forgotten what fear felt like, but his fears were certainly not a few monsters, or Vampires, even less if one of those Vampires acted like a needy cat that demanded belly rubs.

Ever since the day he and Victoria had spent some alone time, Victoria had become even clingier than before. Everyone noticed this but they didn’t really think much about it. Only the women in the Undying Group realized that something must have happened.

Kathrine and Yvonne were the most affected by this realization but they quickly got back to their senses when they realized that Dilan continued to treat everyone equally. It was only Victoria, who had changed, and not like Dilan had fallen head over heels for her.

This was a good sign but also somewhat worrisome because the minds of the women began to imagine the worst.

‘Is he a casanova, who will take everyone he likes?’

‘So pouncing at him will result in spending a beautiful night with him? Maybe I shall test it out!’

‘As long as someone is otherworldly beautiful they won’t have any problems getting close and intimate to Dilan…I see…’

Dilan and the others had heard all kinds of rumors but none of the men paid much attention to it.

Some were jealous of Dilan because he was the center of the women’s attention, however, they also understood that Dilan was not someone who would pounce at any girl who threw herself at him.

In fact, they sometimes wondered if Dilan was even interested in women, especially because Victoria was almost sitting on him, and batting her eyelashes at him with desire every now and then. She would take Dilan right in front of everyone if he would allow her, that was even something Kathrine and Yvonne understood.

‘This bitch!’ Katrine cursed inwardly the more she looked at Victoria. Victoria was a likable person but only when she was not with Dilan. Otherwise, she was a real bitch, who would do everything possible to get close to the person she liked.

“Yeah, let’s split up. Everyone with suitable abilities should come with us as well. We will dig a huge pit and lay out spikes on the ground. This won’t kill them but some Vampires will certainly fall into the pit and sustain injuries, slowing them down.

Remember, the traps we can build won’t kill the Vampires because of their superior healing ability but we can slow them down as much as possible!” Sven tried to ignore the happenings around Dilan as he shared his plans but that was hardly possible.

He secretly praised the young man for being able to stay serious despite the fact that one woman clung onto him like a needy girl, while another one was glaring at her to death.

“Let’s do that then. I finished picking my equipment earlier, so you guys can leave to pick your stuff while I will help with the traps,” Dilan stood up from the chair, indirectly pulling Victoria with him.

“You will go with Kathrine and Yvonne,” Dilan turned his head to Victoria, who looked at him with puppy eyes but he ignored that.

Victoria pouted, trying to make Dilan change his opinion but that was hardly possible. At the end, she sighed before nodding her head.

“Alright, Darling…” Victoria mumbled before she smiled schemingly as she bent forward, planting a kiss on his lips before she rushed outside the office, where all of them had been seated.

Dilan could only shake his head before he turned to Sven as if nothing had happened.

“Where will we start?” He asked, only to notice that Kathrine and Yvonne’s face had turned red, and that everyone looked at the two women, wondering what they would do next.

Nobody could tell whether their faces were red in embarrassment or anger, but it looked like hell would break loose the moment they uttered a word.

“Dilan….”

“VICTORIA!!!!”
