Aftermath of the tenth
It was impossible to keep what was happening to the tenth family a secret from the other vampire families. After all, two of them had been involved with the attack. However, the result was contrary to what everyone had expected, and it had quickly become the talk of the whole settlement.
"Wasn't the tenth family weakened from the attack with the Bloodsuckers? I heard they made the eighth family and second family retreat."
"Stop giving the tenth family all this credit. It was under the King's order that they retreated!"
"But it's true! Have you not seen what happened to those that came back from the eighth family? Many from the pooling area had joined them for the attack, but only about half of them had returned. No one wants to mess with those in the tenth family now!"
"I heard it's all because of their leader's special construction. Those towers we saw last time, there are more in the inner circle areas and I heard they have deadly statues that are actually beasts."
