Global Lord: My Unit Commander is Vampire Queen-Chapter 24: The Three Kings Burned

Lucas stared at Lord Harrison Goldmane’s interrogation report with eyes gleaming with twisted satisfaction. The information extracted from his psychological breakdown had revealed the hiding place of the remaining alliance leadership—a discovery that would alter the course of the entire campaign.

[Combined Forces: 8,430 units]

[Defensive Rating: Exceptional]

"My King," Selena stepped beside Lucas, crimson eyes burning with predatory hunger, "intelligence indicates that the three remaining Lords have consolidated their forces in a single fortress. They are attempting to create a last stand."

Lucas smiled with a truly terrifying expression as he activated the tactical analysis interface. Fortress Triumvirate was a heavily fortified position designed to withstand siege warfare, but what they hadn’t anticipated was the evolved nature of its psychological warfare capabilities.

[System: Target Analysis - Fortress Triumvirate]

[Defensive Structure: Tier C fortification]

[Garrison: 8,430 mixed units]

[Leadership: 3 high-level Lords]

[Morale: Desperate but determined]

[Estimated Assault Cost: 15,000-20,000 units]

Lucas activated the army mobilization systems, his eyes gleaming with cruel anticipation. "Selena, prepare the advanced strike force. I want to demonstrate exactly what happens when the Lords attempt to oppose my supremacy."

[System: Army Deployment]

[Elite Strike Force: 12,000 units]

[Composition: Psycho-Vampires, Shadow Wraiths, Nightmare Cavalry]

[Command Structure: Selena Draculea, primary commander]

[Special Assets: Siege breakers, psychological warfare specialists]

[Estimated Arrival: 2 hours]

[Psychological Preparation: Terror induction active]

Selena smiled with an expression that radiated absolute malevolence as she activated the specialized psychological warfare systems. "My King, I will ensure that their morale completely collapses before our forces even reach the fortress walls."

Lucas stared at the real-time surveillance of the approaching fortress with eyes burning with twisted satisfaction. Through enhanced psychological influence, he could sense fear beginning to spread among the defending troops.

[System: Psychological Influence Deployment]

[Target: Fortress Triumvirate garrison]

[Effect: Gradual terror induction]

[Range: 50 km radius]

[Intensity: Increasing]

[Resistance: Moderate (leadership presence)]

[Estimated Morale Collapse: 45 minutes]

Two hours later, Lucas and Selena arrived in the area of Fortress Triumvirate with an elite strike force that radiated a menacing presence. The Fortress itself was an impressive structure built of reinforced stone with multiple defensive layers, but Lucas could see signs of psychological pressure that was already affecting the defenders.

[System: Fortress Assessment]

[Defensive Capability: Compromised]

[Garrison Morale: 34% and falling]

[Leadership Response: Increasingly desperate]

[Psychological Pressure: Effective]

[Breach Probability: 78%]

"My King," Selena spoke, her voice trembling with dark excitement, "the defenders are showing signs of a psychological breakdown. I can see panic spreading through their ranks."

Lucas activated the direct communication systems and projected his voice across the entire fortress area in a perfectly modulated tone for maximum psychological impact. "Lords of Triumvirate, I offer you a single opportunity to surrender. Resistance will only prolong your suffering."

From the fortress walls, the voice of Lord Aldric Stoneheart responded in a tone that attempted to sound defiant but betrayed underlying terror. "Lucas Nightveil! We will never bow to your tyranny!"

Lucas smiled with a truly terrifying expression as he activated the advanced psychological warfare systems. "Excellent. I prefer when enemies choose to suffer."

[System: Assault Initiation]

[Phase 1: Psychological Siege]

[Phase 2: Defensive Breakdown]

[Phase 3: Systematic Elimination]

[Phase 4: Leadership Capture]

[Estimated Duration: 3 hours]

[Casualty Projection: Minimal (friendly forces)]

Lucas begins a systematic assault with waves of psychological pressure designed to target specific individuals within the fortress. Through enhanced capabilities, he can identify the exact location of the three Lords and begin focusing terror induction directly on their consciousness.

[System: Psychological Targeting]

[Target 1: Lord Aldric - Confidence undermining]

[Target 2: Lord Vance - Paranoia induction]

[Target 3: Lord Garrett - Despair amplification]

[General Garrison: Mass terror deployment]

[Effectiveness: 89%]

Within thirty minutes, defensive coordination began to collapse as psychological pressure reached critical levels. Garrison troops began abandoning posts, some attempted to escape, and others simply cowered in corners.

Selena led the first wave of attacks with Psycho-Vampires who easily breached compromised defensive positions. Fortress walls that had seemed impregnable crumbled under assault from forces that faced no organized resistance.

[System: Breach Successful]

[Fortress Outer Defense: Collapsed]

[Garrison Resistance: 12%]

[Leadership Location: Inner keep]

[Capture Probability: 95%]

[Casualties: 47 units (friendly), 4,200 units (enemy)]

Lucas entered the fortress courtyard with eyes flashing with predatory satisfaction. Surviving defenders had either fled or surrendered, leaving the path clear for the final confrontation with the three Lords.

[System: Leadership Confrontation]

[Location: Fortress throne room]

[Targets: All three Lords present]

[Psychological State: Broken but desperate]

[Recommended Approach: Demonstration of absolute power]

Lucas and Selena approached the throne room with measured steps that echoed through empty corridors. Doors opened to reveal three Lords standing in a defensive formation, weapons drawn but hands trembling with barely controlled terror.

"Lord Aldric, Lord Vance, Lord Garrett," Lucas spoke in a voice that was perfectly calm but carried undertones of absolute menace, "welcome to the conclusion of your resistance."

Lord Aldric attempted to maintain a dignified stance, but his voice betrayed a complete psychological breakdown. "You... you are a monster. History will remember your atrocities."

Lucas smiled with a truly terrifying expression as he activated the chamber’s specialized systems. "History is written by victors. And I will ensure that your story serves as a perfect example of the consequences of defiance."

[System: Execution Preparation]

[Method: Public burning (2 subjects)]

[Method: Living puppet conversion (1 subject)]

[Psychological Impact: Maximum]

[Broadcast Range: Continental]

[Terror Induction: Massive]

Selena smiled with an expression that radiated pure malevolence as she activated the specialized restraint systems. "My King, I recommend Lord Vance for puppet conversion. His stealth expertise will be useful."

Lucas stared at the three captured Lords, his eyes alight with twisted satisfaction. "Excellent suggestion. Lord Aldric and Lord Garrett will provide entertainment through public execution."

[System: Execution Sequence Initiated]

[Public Broadcast: Active]

[Target Audience: All remaining Lords]

[Terror Multiplication: Active]

[Psychological Dominance: Absolute]

Screams from Lord Aldric and Lord Garrett as flames consumed their bodies echoed across the Continental Region via specialized broadcast systems. Every Lord who was still alive felt terror that penetrated to their very core.

Lord Vance’s conversion to a living puppet was conducted with a precision that demonstrated Lucas’s evolved capabilities. His consciousness remains intact but completely subservient, creating a demonstration that is even more terrifying than simple execution.

[System: Terror Impact Assessment]

[Remaining Lords: 12 individuals]

[Psychological State: Completely broken]

[Surrender Probability: 87%]

[Resistance Capability: Effectively eliminated]

[Continental Domination: 94% complete]

Lucas stared at the burning remains of the two Lords with eyes flashing with twisted satisfaction. The puppet, who had been Lord Vance, stood beside him with a blank expression, awaiting commands.

Suddenly, from beneath the fortress foundations, a deep rumbling began resonating through the ground. Lucas felt a surge of energy, unlike anything he had experienced before.

[Energy Signature: Unknown]

[Threat Level: Undetermined]

[Lair Evolution: Criteria met]

[Warning: Tier D transformation initiating]

[Estimated Time: 24 hours]

[Caution: Unpredictable effects possible]

"My King," Selena stared at Lucas, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of excitement and concern. "This energy signature... it’s triggering your lair evolution. But something else is awakening."

Lucas stared into the depths of the fortress, his eyes burning with predatory anticipation. "Excellent. I’m curious to see what challenges await in the next tier."

[System: Lair Evolution Warning]

[Current Status: Tier E → Tier D transition]

[Evolution Catalyst: Complete regional domination]

[New Capabilities: Unknown]

[Potential Threats: Unknown entities]

[Recommendation: Immediate return to base]

From underground depths, a sound resembling the roar of a creature that had slumbered for centuries began echoing through fortress foundations. Lucas smiled with a truly terrifying expression—whatever was awakening, it would only add to his entertainment.
