In another part of the forest, the Seventh Progenitor was slowly trying to grow his strength.
The Seventh Progenitor was easily the weakest of the seven, being the youngest of them and also the least mature. For hundreds of years, he struggled to compete against the others. However, with this new opportunity, he hoped to finally accumulate more influence.
"Karnstein, how many offspring did you make today?"
"I managed to make twelve."
The Seventh Progenitor's strategy was very different from that of the Second Progenitor's. Instead of aiming only for high-value humans for offspring, the Seventh Progenitor made it a rule to make every single human the royals found into offspring, regardless of their strength or ability.
"Although, some of our offspring got killed by the Third Progenitor's royals."
"That's fine, how many did we lose."
"We fled as fast as we could but we lost quite few peons and Barons."
