Romania, Old Yharnam
Hundreds of thousands of Vampires and Kindreds were clad in crimson armor as they stood in neat rows as each of them was armed with either sword or spear. They were part of the army of Old Yharnam, Crimson Paladins.
Behind them were others clad in half armor, wearing long cloaks and capes, holding staffs. They were Battle Mages of the Old Yharnam.
Before them, high on the pedestal stood a man, clad in crimson armor and ferocious look in his eyes.
He was Grand Duke Kindred, Valerian Tepes. One of the four Blood Lords of the Old Yharnam.
"Army stand by! We March!"
Shouted Valerian as he commanded and several million Vampires and Kindreds started marching on the position and strongholds of the Heaven and Church here in Romania. There were several of them, and all of them were targets for the conquest.
There were even two Artificial Archangels stationed in Romania, but their combat prowess was weak, comparable only to the geniue Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Angel. Having Energy Reserves and Combat Prowess were two entirely different things.
Valerian took the command himself, as he was an absolute battle-maniac, and wanted just to kill more people. He flew high in the air, as most Kindred that has achieved Kindred Baron or higher rank, had the ability to fly with their wings, which they obtained during metamorphosis.
Valerian led around one million Crimson Paladins and Battle Mages to Transylvania, to a certain area where an enormous Cathedral of the Church was built, that acted as the Headquarters for Exorcists and Angels that were operating in Romania and hunted Vampires and Kindreds.
"Elder Victor Corvinus lead Battle Mages to create a Bounded Field around the entire area. Also, destroy near villages and kill all humans you find. Those around are either families of the Exorcits or devout believers."
Commanded Valerian to a man near his side.
It was Victor Corvinus, a Marquise Kindred, which was the same as the Satan-Class and currently he served as one of the Army Commanders in this attack.
"Yes, Blood Lord Tepes."
Bounded Field is a topographic type of magic that consists of knitting a network of magical energy and spreading it on base areas, such as a piece of land or a building, to create a mystic boundary line that separates the inside from the outside. By definition, it should not be possible to move them once they are set.
Usually, it was used for protection or during battles on Earth, not to involve ordinary humans, or if you want to do something silently without anyone noticing. Just like this time.
Several minutes after Elder Victor Corvinus went to attend his task, the translucent barrier was stretched up and enveloped the entire area around the Cathedral of the Transylvania ad surrounding villages.

"Attack!"
Order Valerian Tepes as he swung his sword at the Cathedral as he flew high in the sky and led the attack himself.
As they were attacking tens of thousands of Angels flew out of the Cathedrals and thousands of Exorctis were ready to combat Kindreds and Vampires on the ground. Unfortunately for them, they were completely cut out of the world thanks to the Bounded Field, and also, they were surprised.
Heaven didn't think that Pale Blood of Old Yharnam would attack so soon or that they would attack either. For late centuries they were completely isolated and never involved in things of other factions. Even though Yahweh predicted that the Pale Blood would attack, he thought that possibility of such an act is low.
"Tepes."
Said the female Archangel, one of the two Archangels in the air.
"Just two of you? Even though you are Archangel-Class, you are just a weakling elevated by Yahweh. If it was Michael or Uriel, I would reconsider my strategy, but you two don't have that right."
Grinned Valerian, as he prepared his sword, and suddenly teleported out and appeared right behind the Male Archangel, and with one swift enhanced kick, he sent him flying, crashing into the Cathedral, creating a huge cloud of smoke.
With his free hand, he grabbed the Female Archangel, by her neck, as he pierced her heart with his sword.
"Just like I thought... what were you before, probably just Eight-Winged Ultimate-Class Angels... trash."
Said Valerian as he bit the neck of the female Archangel and sucked her dry blood. While to ordinary Vampires and Kindreds it may be deadly to drink blood with so much Holy Power in it, there were many methods among the Kindreds to refine that blood. Usually, only those with strength and high social standing knew such methods.
He dropped the withered dry body on the ground, as he flew into the Cathedral to kill the second Archangel.
Valerian was cautious and didn't enter the Cathedral, but rather he started casting spells to destroy the entire place, as the sky darkened and flaming meteors smashed down on the Cathedral.
He knew that places like these, usually had many wards and spell formations there, so he chose to rather destroy it and hopefully kill the Archangel in it.
As the Angels watched one of their leaders getting killed and their Cathedral being destroyed, Kindreds watched in delight, as their morale was boosted and their attacks were even more ferocious and brutal than before.
"Burn them, kill them, destroy them! Don't leave a single one of them alive, kill every believer of the Church, kill their families, kill their children, kill them all! Let entire Romania be shrouded in the eternal darkness."
Shouted Valerian as he looked at the battlefield with satisfaction and mad glee in his eyes.
