Chapter 627 Provocation
Everyone’s reaction to the news that Max was going to be a father was different.
Upon receiving the letter, the Rajput household was on cloud nine, Ruby and Naomi hugged each other and jumped all around the house as they were unable to control their excitement at the news.
Within the next 20 minutes they began plotting a comprehensive plan as to when they would shift their base of residence to the Bloodfall palace in Dombivli, so that they could act like caretakers of Asiva when she most needed it.
When Max told Sebastian the news he smiled probably the biggest smile that Max had ever seen the dwarf smile as he patted Max on the back and said ” Uncle Sebastian will be their best friend and teacher, LET’S GOO! ”
Mira had little to no reaction to the news as she hummed expressionlessly, however, when she realised that it was a big deal for Max and it made him extremely happy she couldn’t help but grin ever so slightly.
The grin however was fake.
Mira did not like the concept of kids, kids were a hassle, she did not like the concept of Max having kids with anyone but herself even more.
She had always known the vampire was a tough competitor, but it seemed to her that the vampire was much closer to Max than she had initially anticipated and would only continue to get closer now that she had his seed.
It was a disastrous outcome for her, but one she could do nothing about now.
Anna shrieked like a little girl and covered her ears when Max told her the news. The very idea of a little version of Max and Asiva running around the Bloodfall halls made Anna die of cuteness, however, although she was extremely happy for the two of them she couldn’t help but think that if she did marry Max someday, even then his condition would prevent him from having babies with anyone but vampires and dragon’s.
Would she ever experience the joy of motherhood with him?
Finally Severus chuckled when he heard the news and said ” Marry her soon ” and then he started to muse to himself how he was going to be a god-grandfather soon and how he was too young for such shit and how he did not have a wife.
As of this moment, Max did not reveal the news to the common masses or even his other acquaintances, only choosing to reveal it to the closest friends and family, hence Rudra was unaware of this development at this juncture.

( War Log : Day 65 )
On day 65, the initial disadvantage that the light faction faced as a result of the sneak attack by the traitors was finally neutralised as the number of orbs destroyed on both sides became equal.
130 orbs were destroyed on both ends and the next disc raid seemed at least a month away.
What was interesting however was the fact that the orb the Bloodfall clan had so painstakingly defended from the Mercenaries was finally destroyed.
The one to destroy the orb finally were not even the mercenary forces but rather a part of the now nearly non existent demon sovereign Kane’s soldiers.
The man behind the successful raid was ‘ Ferox Blackfang ‘ , an individual who was gaining quite the reputation for himself in the past few days. ππ¦π₯π―ππ·π¦ποΌπππ¨
He had personally destroyed 5 orbs, 1 disc in this war and had killed 4 tier6 god’s.
He was the dark faction’s version of an upcoming superstar and many in the light faction shivered when hearing his name.
Apparently, the reason behind him attacking the previous Bloodfall stronghold was to send a message.
A message where he called out Max and Ravan to come face him in active combat.
He had purposefully let a handful of vampires guarding the fort escape and with them he sent a letter intended for the vampire king and the Bloodfall clan.
Within the letter he had called the entire vampire society derogatory remarks and had purposefully crossed a line where he wrote vivid descriptions about how he would spend a night with the king’s current wife Martha.
In a sense it was childish provocation, one that was absolutely classless, however, it worked as Martha was Regus’s reverse scale.
While he could pardon a lot of crap, he did not feel like letting this insult slide as he issued an order intended for Ravan Bloodfall to prepare his army to take this man down.
It was a decision made from emotion, but Regus was not foolish.
In of itself, Ferox Blackfang did not have a force size as terrifying as the Mercenary alliance that had attacked the Bloodfall clan.
And if Ravan was capable of killing 3 tier6 god’s, he could certainly take on one more, especially in one on one combat.
When Max received the letter from Blackfang and then the imperial order from the king, he actually felt relieved that the king had ordered him to fight as he would have felt his pride as a man die should he have been told to stay put and let the insult slide.
Apparently, the Blackfang forces had taken a few hundred female vampire soldiers as slaves and were having a gangbang where they exploited them while calling them ‘ Martha ‘ .
It was an absolutely derogatory act that showed the true worst nature of those who resided in the dark faction, and it was a crime that made Max’s blood boil with anger.
Him and his forces had got enough rest staying within the Aurelius fort in the past few days anyways, which was why Max felt that it was time for some bloody action.
Since the human Ferox Blackfang wanted a piece of the Bloodfall clan so desperately to improve his legacy in this war, he would get some of the Bloodfall clan. But Max would make sure that it would not be to enhance his legacy, but rather to put an end to it.
