The VB slowly amassed a small army of bandits and the disobedient bandits were made into lesser vampire's .For a total of 1000 normal bandits taken as captive and 400 lesser vampires ,used as foot vampires were monsters that could turn wear armor if the ones turned were capable of that ,they could use weapons too.

As such the small brigade of the VB turned into a team of 400 lesser vampires clad in armor and 100 imperial knights,plus 1000 bandits taken as prisoners.
It was time to make a settlement the VB thought . Each of the teams sent to this place out to have thought the same total number of people must have reached a tremendous amount ,if each VB created lesser vampires, our numbers must have more than doubled, the VB thought.

She didn't have infinite message scrolls ,in fact she only had two, the VB was going to wait 10 or more days to check on the progress of the entire expedition, if each squad had as many numbers as she had then it was probably for the best.
There should be more than enough people to create a small settlement if we all converge into one unit,thought the vampire bride.
They should wait a little bit more,what's this?
A bone vulture was doing it's usual encirclement of the air space around the camp ,it had a special illusion magic device on it,it could record everything around it using illusion magic.
The VB extended her arm and the bone vulture landed on her took out the device that the bone vulture was using since it signaled movement in the past hours.
She looked at the recording and couldn't understand something ,why could the bandit leader Bloodfang move,was it a martial art?
"Marcus Vectus do you understand what is happening ?"
"Bloodfang used a martial art called [Sukuchi Kai] it can allow one to slide in different directions,it appears he is using that to move around since he lost his right leg,then again I have only heard of [Sukuchi Kai] it's my first time seeing it in action".
"I see Vectus,I am going to order the bone vulture to keep track of Bloodfang then and record everthing and since we are going to lose our blood vulture and we are no longer going to have scouting done by it for us we could be facing danger. I want you to make the necessary arrangenments"
"Understood."

The wind howled through the shattered ruins of what was once a proud city. Now, it was little more than a husk of broken stone and smoldering debris. Bandits, mercenaries, and the desperate clung to what little remained, fashioning a ramshackle fortress out of the bones of a fallen world. Within this stronghold, a fire flickered weakly in the central chamber, barely keeping the biting cold at bay.

Bloodfang limped forward, his heavy fur cloak dragging behind him. His right leg was gone from the knee down, replaced by a crude wooden peg. The wound still burned with the unnatural chill of the vampire's sword, and though he had managed to escape with his life, it had cost him dearly. He spat onto the ground, his jagged teeth bared in frustration.

Across from him, slouched upon a roughly assembled throne of scavenged wood and iron, was Varik "Iron-Tusk," another bandit leader who had survived the chaos of the Grand War. His once-fearsome armor was rusted, and his face bore fresh scars. Despite his rough exterior, his eyes gleamed with suspicion as Bloodfang approached.

"Hells, Bloodfang, you look like a half-eaten corpse," Varik grunted, adjusting the battered war axe resting at his side. "What in the void happened to you?"

Bloodfang let out a bitter laugh, his voice ragged from pain and exhaustion. "Ran into something worse than a blade, worse than the damned war. A monster in the shape of a woman. She took my leg and almost took my head."

Varik leaned forward, interested now. "A woman?"

"Not a woman. A vampire. A real one. The kind that doesn't just drink blood, but takes something deeper—your strength, your life, your will to fight. I've fought men, beasts, even those cursed war mages… but nothing like her." Bloodfang gritted his teeth, the phantom pain in his leg flaring up.

Varik scoffed but there was a trace of unease in his expression. "Vampires, eh? Always thought those were just stories told to keep children from wandering at night."

"Then go looking for her yourself," Bloodfang snarled. "See if you come back with both your legs."

Silence settled between them. The crackling fire cast eerie shadows against the ruined walls, and outside, the wind whispered through the gaps in the stone like the voices of the dead.

Finally, Varik exhaled and tapped his fingers against his knee. "So what now? You here to lick your wounds and die in this hole? Or do you have a plan?"

Bloodfang's eyes burned with a savage light. "I plan to make sure that bitch doesn't live another night. But I need men. Supplies. Steel. The war left us with scraps, but if we work together, we can still carve out a kingdom from this ruin. We take everything we can find—food, weapons, armor—and we make the stronghold something worth fearing. And when the time comes…"

Varik smirked, finishing the thought. "We burn her out of whatever crypt she crawled from."

Bloodfang nodded. "Exactly."

Varik mulled it over, then stood, offering his hand. "Fine. But if this turns out to be a fool's errand, I'll be sure to kill you myself."

Bloodfang gripped the other bandit's forearm tightly. "If we fail, I'll be too dead to care."

Outside, the wind howled, but within the ruined stronghold, a storm far more dangerous was beginning to form.

...

The VB was looking at the recording and she couldn't believe what Bloodfang was saying ,even after she was so nice to him, she even offered him food and all ,after all they were barely scavengers now .Too bad she thought.
Though this could be a problem ,if another high lvl individual joins him then she was going to face difficulties.
As expected of the supreme one ,the VB though ,arming the bone vultures with that device was proving to be invaluable ,if each scouting group like hers was ambushed like this by two powerful individual it could have proved to be a problem,now they were going to face the combined might of her sisters.

She used one of the two message scrolls she was given and now she announced her sister ,another VB created by Ainz.
"How are you facing difficulties "said the VB sister "Ainz-sama has even gone as far as enhancing all of us when he created us " she said.

"Well ,I let an arrogant human escape and now she wants to kill me because I crippled him but if we join forces we are going to win,I can even temporarily turn our prisoners into allies and have them fight for us significantly bolstering our forces."

"We better not suffer too many loses ,"said the VB sister "I want to establish a stronghold after this if everything goes well."

"Well, each of us is fully equipped with runecrafted armor ,although we don't have fighter classes so we shouldn't have been able to equip normal Yggdrasil armor ,this seems to be a way around it made by Ainz-sama ,though we don't receive equipment bonuses from the armor and greatsword their rune effects still take place,my armor is much heavier than an equivalent armor of adamantite rank and is therefore more sturdy ,furthermore each hit I do with my greatsword also leverages the extra weight of my armor,the same is true for the about this ,what I want to say it's pretty amazing that Bloodfang managed to fight on even grounds with you sister.
Especially with the enhancement that you have received from you should have been as powerful as Go Gin of the Empire of Baharuth."

"Alright enough chitchat ,let's meet up two weeks from now on ,we will besiege this place this bandits are gathering."

...

The night was unnaturally still. A heavy, oppressive silence had settled over the makeshift stronghold, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Bloodfang stood atop the ruined battlements, his fingers gripping the cold, crumbling stone. His men—ten thousand strong—stood in uneasy formations below, their torches flickering against the darkness. Every man there had seen battle before, but this... this was something else.

Then the first horn sounded.

A deep, reverberating note, eerie and inhuman, rolled across the battlefield like the howl of some ancient beast. Then another. And another. From the distant treeline, torches flared to life, stretching as far as the eye could see. The enemy was here.

Two figures emerged from the gloom, silhouetted against the moonlit sky. One was the vampire that had nearly ended Bloodfang's life. Her silver hair shimmered like liquid frost, and her crimson eyes burned with an unnatural hunger. Beside her stood another—a second vampire, just as regal, just as terrifying. Their army stretched behind them, a force of one thousand warriors and four hundred lesser vampires, reinforced by an identical host to match.

A force unlike anything the bandits had ever faced before.

Bloodfang exhaled slowly, forcing the fear down. "They want a war?" he growled to Varik, who stood beside him, tightening his grip on his axe. "Then we'll give them one."

Varik spat onto the stone. "Let's see if these leeches can bleed."

The enemy advanced. The siege had begun.


The first wave struck like a hammer. The battlefield erupted into chaos as the enemy forces surged forward, their war cries mixing with the howls of the lesser vampires. Arrows and bolts rained down from the walls, striking torches and flesh alike. Bandits manned the barricades, loosing their weapons into the oncoming horde, while others grabbed spears and prepared for the inevitable clash.

The lesser vampires were the first to reach the stronghold's defenses, leaping over trenches and vaulting up shattered stone with inhuman agility. Some were cut down mid-air, impaled upon sharpened pikes or blasted apart by crude alchemical fire, but others landed amidst the defenders, clawing and biting through armor like parchment.

Screams echoed through the night as bandits were dragged down, their throats torn open by fangs. But the defenders did not falter. Varik led a charge, his massive axe cleaving through the monsters, his men following his example with battle-hardened fury.

Bloodfang fought from the battlements, barking orders between swings of his blade. He hacked through a vampire's skull with a brutal downward slash, then shoved the corpse off the edge. "Hold the line! Do not let them breach the gates!"

Below, the main force of the enemy clashed with the outer walls, ramming against barricades with sheer numbers. The two vampire leaders stood back, watching with eerie calm, as if they knew the real battle had yet to begin.

A monstrous shriek tore through the battlefield as another wave of lesser vampires threw themselves at the defenders, their eyes burning with hunger. The siege had only just begun, and already the night was soaked in blood.

The two vampire sisters hoped onto the shattered stone with inhuman agility. Today they donned their full plate armor made of adamantite, they usually left their faces wide open and only when facing a huge fight like this did they protect their heads as well. One tactic that was discussed now was contact lenses and these contact lenses maybe will be imbued with powerful magic for the vampire brides level. The reason being if the enemy wasn't a priest they couldn't tell the vampires apart from being undead.

The VB swung her sword at Bloodfang and bloodfang was thrown backwards since he only had one leg so he had difficulties parrying considering the vampire womans force,Bloodfang used instant counter and rapidly recovered his position but there was a limit how many times he could use instant keep darting around using [Sukuchi Kai] trying his best to fight but every time their sword collided he was thrown backwards until the VB used the moment to her advantage.

The VB swung her huge lump of iron upwards and Bloodfang tried to parry with his tiny sword but it was impossible,he lost his footing ,the VB grabbed him by the collar and smashed him to the floor,it was then the VB used shockwave at point blank was met by [Invulnerable fortress] following a variation of [Instant counter].Bloodfang instantly recovered his footing and was looking to swing down using his sword and then he didn't find his sword.

VB said "Are you looking for this ?",she took out an adamantite sword .

"What?" Bloodfang said.

Bloodfang used [Sukuchi Kai] and instantly left the battlefield,the VB was chasing after Bloodfang .

Quick Bloodfang aren't many magic weapons here ,I need a potion or scroll that makes my weapon into a magic weapon,I need one to also reinforce my weapon since her weapon is made of adamantite and I am going to die if that hits me with a fragile sword.

"Varik throw me a magic weapon"

"I am pretty busy ,now" said Varik as he parried an attack from another VB sister.

That's bad I am going to die Bloodfang he just run away but the undead know of no fatigue she will eventually catch up to me he though,no matter i will run away .

The VB decided to use her ring's ability ,it was [Shadow Step] .She appeared right beside Bloodfang and cast shockwave . It was met by [Invulnerable Fortress] and it was at this moment Bloodfang ran out of focus and couldn't keep [Sukuchi Kai] active he has fallen .The VB killed Bloodfang.

"Good ridance".said the VB.

She had two options now either help her sister or use her charm eyes and temprarily make these people's as allies and win them over perhaps latter .

She blitzed the battlefield non-enchanted and non-silver weapons could do nothing to her,so she bided her time and had the soldiers all look into her eyes and she slowly bewitched a very large number of enemies.

She was enhanced by Ainz-sama meaning ,even if the bandits she was facing were of gold rank ,they will instantly be ensnared just by merely looking at her is going to go pretty easily considering most bandits were low lvl and had weak willpower.

After making most of the enemies fight for her ,she slowly crippled most of them while her sister kept the other man didn't matter whether they lived or died.

...

"Report" said VB.

"Madam we lost about 10 imperial soldiers ,800 bandits and 200 lesser vampires ."

"Ok how many new bandit prisoners we have."

"About 6000."said Marcus Vectus.

"Alright then cripple as many as you see necessary ,the moment they convert their fate into that of following Ainz sama we will heal them all ,until them cripple as many as we can't currently handle with our about this cripple around 4000 of will keep the last two thousand as meat shield "said the VB.

"Roger "said Marcus Vectus.

We appear to have successfully established a stronghold in the region .The remaining population of the country we are currently in is probably around 100000 in the best case scenario.I think we are going to make camp here with my sister and try to establish a kingdom with what remains of these bandits.

So it was a stronghold holding almost 10k people was established .
