Ploiești City has a population of around two hundred thousand people, but that is only on the surface. There is a second name for that city. Ploiești is called an underground city by the population of the Moonlight world.
This city has many underground settlements because the previous humans made them to hide from the vampires. Sadly, all of them are already abandoned and are now used by the vampires. The bloodsuckers use many kinds of tricks to gain access to their city, and when they have that access, they kill all the humans. Slowly but surely, the vampires managed to take over the entire underground city.
Now, this place is called the Underhive, where vampires trade goods like slaves, blood, and other magical items that they steal from human magicians.
And we are going to do what the vampires did in the past. Raid their underground city one by one until nothing is left.
"How do we do this?"
I look at the people in front of me, and the map of the city and its underground city is on the table. About twelve underground villages are connected with each other underneath Ploiești and the land around it.
"We should attack from the southwest of the city, Lord Millefiore."
I look at Karina and say.
"Oh? Why?"
"While it is the farthest from our current location, it is the least defended. This place is where the vampire wants to sneak into our territory. However, with our recent victory and vigorous hunt of vampires, it is rare for vampires to visit this place."
"How about the entrance?"
"It is located in the small alleyway between two stores. The store is a front for the vampires, so we need to take care of them first. The ones working there are zombies that are disguised as humans using magic."
I look at Yasaka and my guardians.
"What do you guys think?"
Yaska rubs her chin and says.
"I think the strategy is sound. We can move from the bottom to the top or change that depending on the situation in the Underhive."
She points her finger at the map and says.
"We can move around our soldiers depending on the movement of the vampires. However, we need to know the location of the entrance of the villages first. We know all of them, but I have a feeling the vampires move it or even destroy it to construct a new entrance."
That is true.
"Then we need to expand the surveillance tools around the city and spread the scout team. I can lead the team. We can make sure there is no trap in the original entrance and search for the new one if the previous one is destroyed."
I look at Skull and say.
"Are you sure?"
"What? Like I said before, I might be the strongest among the Arcobaleno, but I am still one of them. Scouting is not my forte, but I am still better than other hitmen, as even Reborn-senpai praises me."
I look at him in surprise because the Skull I know is not someone that capable. He is known as a tank of Arcobaleno. Huge endurance and hit hard, just like a tank.
I look at Yasaka and say,
"What do you think, Yasaka? Scouting ahead is your team's job, after all."
"I don't mind him coming. He is the same as that adorable hitman, right? If he is a member of Arcobaleno, I am more than willing to let him come alongside the Scout Team."
"Perfect."
I look at the Cloud Arcobaleno and say.
"Skull, you will join the scouting team and be the one disabling the traps if the entrance still exists and search for the new one if the previous entrance is gone."
"Gotcha. Leave it to me."
I nod and get up.
"If there is nothing else, we will follow Karina's plan and attack from the entrance in the Southwest of the city."
Seeing no one disagreeing with the plan, I nod and say.
"With this, the meeting is done. We will start the operation tomorrow. Scouting team, you guys go ahead and make sure the entrance at the Southwest is still there."
With that, we left the meeting room and prepared for another attack.

"What do you think of this war, Yasaka?"
Yasaka looks at me with a can of beer in her hand.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Do you think it is the right thing to exterminate an entire race like the vampire?"
Because that is what we are going to do, we will exterminate an entire race. They might be a parasite, but they are still an entire race.
"You are doing the entire world a favor."
I blink at her answer because it is an immediate answer.
"That is a very fast answer."
"That is because of what the other factions think as well. They might have trade partners, but they never have an ally. The vampire is an arrogant bunch that thinks they are above even Gods because they gain immortality."
"That is stupid."
"Yup. Do you know what Nurarihyon says when I say I join your family in the war against the vampire?"
"What?"
"Let me join you. That is what he says."
I chuckle a little and say.
"When someone that hates you wants to join you in battle. What has the world come into?"
"The world that hates one race. Even the Devil race is willing to make an open diplomacy with other factions and races because they know that they cannot survive without an ally with how many factions that hate their existences."
"Are they stupid?"
"Too arrogant. They are not stupid. They are already used to their status as the apex predator of Romania and think it is enough to be arrogant to other factions outside their country."
I nod and say.
"Thank you for this, Yasaka. I feel better now."
"It is not a problem, Vale."
"I am also glad that this action will not result in my family getting attacked by other factions."
"Well, a few factions will grumble about what you have done. Mainly the factions that buy slaves from them, but other than that? You are good."
I nod and smile.
"Anyway! Let's change the subject. Tell me how you find your guardians."
