35 Confrontation Between Kings (1/2)
Coming out of my shadow a total of 100 shadow infantry soldiers appeared in the world. They were covered in black armor and at the gaps in their armor was a light blue glow. Each of them had the strength of high ranking fighters and would get stronger the more they fight.
What's more, they couldn't really die my mana reserves revived them. In a way, they were like the shadows from the novel 'Solo Leveling', except for the fact I couldn't turn fallen enemies into my servant sadly.
Aside from this unit of infantry soldiers I also have a heavy infantry unit, a cavalry unit, an archery unit, a unit of mages, and a group of assassins. If I were to list all of my shadows it would be
----
500 - Infantry
400 - Heavy Infantry
300 - Cavalry
150 - Archers
150 - Mages
50 - Assassins
Total Shadows - 1550

Even though I had the ability to summon all of them, even I felt like it was a little overkill to have 1650 soldiers attack a building that doesn't even look like it had 300 people in it. This also let me test the combat power of my shadows.
When my words left my mouth all 100 of my soldiers charged at the vampires. Some were 'killed' by magic attacks but were instantly revived and exited my shadow again before resuming their charge.
Yu - [Hm they don't seem to have much in the brains department.]
They may have numbers but they are more like robots and don't show any intelligence making their movements predictable
Yu - [That could be seen as a big disadvantage in the future but... can they develop their own conscience?]
*Ding*[Shadow soldiers will develop the more they fight, with time they may even become real living beings rather than just shadows. When this happens Host's shadow soldiers will evolve into Shadow Clansmen a type of race that lives in the dark killing any who intrude on their territory.]
Yu - [Isn't that a bad thing?]
*Ding*[Negative Host's shadows are connected to Host so they can always be summoned when needed. However, when the soldiers evolve to clansmen they can die and won't be able to be revived by Host's mana.]
Yu - [Well that's a given.]
Since they'll become real living beings it's normal that they'd die when killed.
As this entire exchange of information went on Seriyu and I continued our walk to the main castle building. Escorting us were my shadows, and anyone who tried to attack us was either cut down or captured.
Most vampires had a brain in their heads and chose to escape rather than fight me and my soldiers. Looking at their retreating figures I chose not to go after them since I was already so close to my destination. It must also be known that I had around 30-40 vampires being dragged by Seriyu behind me.

Walking into the throne room with heavy steps I was greeted by a room full of old vampires. All of them were vigilant of me and on the back of the room staring down at me from the top of a throne was the leader of the Tepes Faction.
I didn't really know his name all I knew was that he was the fourth king of the Tepes Faction and father of Marius, Valerie Tepes as well as some other children. He had long blonde hair, a well-maintained beard and, he wore an extravagant mantle. To his side, I saw multiple magic projection showing many different scenes.
There was the battle on the hillside, the outer walls of the castle, and the view of the corridor leading to the throne room. Even while seeing all this he still looked at me with a calm yet also serious face.
King Tepes - And who are you, young man?
His sentence seemed normal but his tone made it sound like he was demanding to know who I was. He even released an intimidating aura.
Yu - Are you the father of Marius Tepes?
