Hero or Villain, Both

"Get in line and get ready for inspection!"

After bringing the slaves into the facility, they forced them to line up.

There were other vampires that were here as well that were prepared to inspect the blood slaves.

Other than this, there was also equipment that seemed like it was to be used to draw blood that was here.

It was clear what this place was considering that they had brought the blood slaves here.

As well, there were others that were also being led around by the vampires that were in the facility. These were other blood slaves judging by the marks that were on their bodies from where they had been operated on by the machines.

All of this made it clear what the vampires did here.

Once they had finished inspecting the blood slaves, there were a few of them that were picked out from the rest of the blood slaves.

These were the ones that had gotten the better results in the inspection.

With the way that the vampires looked at them, it was clear that they couldn't wait to have a taste of their blood.

It seemed like this was one of the benefits of working in this place.

But as they were taking the rest of the blood slaves away…

"Ah!"

The moment that this scream rang out, all of the vampires turned to see one of their companions lying on the ground with a large bleeding gash on their chest.

They couldn't believe that one of the blood slaves would do something like this, but it also didn't take long for them to all surround the one blood slave that did this. Every single vampire had raised their hand and gathered blood weapons in them.

But by the time that they reacted, they found that these blood weapons had completely escaped their control and they weren't able to use those blood weapons anymore.

In fact, the blood that had gathered in their hands suddenly fell into pools of blood on the ground.

"What's going on?"

"What is this? Why is my connection with the blood gone?"

"What is this resis…Ah!"

That last vampire didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as he suddenly fell down with a large gash on his back.

However, it wasn't the blood slave that they had surrounded that had hurt him.

Rather, it was another blood slave that had come up from behind him that had cut him down like this.

It wasn't just this single vampire that was slashed across the back, all of the other vampires were suddenly attacked as well. They didn't expect the blood slaves to suddenly rebel like this, so they hadn't guarded their backs at all.

But it wasn't just the fact that their guards were down that the blood slaves had been able to do this to them.

It was also the fact that these weren't simple blood slaves.

"Has the area been secured?" The one blood slave that had been surrounded suddenly asked these other blood slaves that had attacked the vampires.

The rest of the blood slaves gave their report.

It wasn't just these blood slaves that had attacked the vampires, there were other groups that had also infiltrated this blood factory and had taken positions just like they had which allowed them to attack the vampires without being noticed.

They had been spread all over the factory, so they couldn't see each other.

The only thing that they had was the communication device that they had been given.

Once he received the report that they had seized control of the entire blood factory, the leader said, "Go and secure the necessary areas. It won't take long before they send the purebloods in to take care of us."

The others nodded in agreement before heading off to take care of what they had to do.

But there were a few that stayed here with him.

One of them couldn't help asking, "Are you sure that this will work?"

The leader of this group just shook his head before saying, "It doesn't matter if we think it'll work or not, this is what we've been ordered to do. Unless you want to go back to that training…"

It wasn't just him alone, a chill ran down the spines of all the blood slaves that were here.

That was because they weren't actual blood slaves, they were the forces that Val Zahad had been training.

The target this time was the vampires.

As such, that was why they were in this blood factory.

Seeing the reaction that all of them had, the leader of the group added, "As long as we follow our orders, it isn't as if anything will go wrong. You should already know how terrifying that girl is."

Another chill ran down their spines when they heard this.

They had already suffered at the hands of that female strategist during their training sessions.

Now that she was the one that was in charge of this plan, they didn't really feel like there was anything that could actually go wrong.

"Alright, stop slacking and get to work already."

This snapped them back from their thoughts and they headed off to take care of the things that they needed to do.

With these people leading the rest of them, the blood slaves were soon freed and brought to the front of the factory.

…

"This is the one where there was an uprising?"

When this one vampire spoke, the rest of the vampires that were with him couldn't help trembling.

After all, the one that was leading them wasn't a normal vampire.

He was a vampire, but he was a pureblood vampire.

One that came from one of the old lineage of vampires, not one that was a half blood or even a new blood vampire.

As such, he was much stronger than any of the other vampires here.

"Yes, Lord Malphis, this is where the uprising happened."

The pureblood named Malphis narrowed his eyes to look at the factory before saying, "Burn it down then."
