After days of working in the area, he had successfully rounded up the 786 surviving people who had been living there, waiting to die or be rescued. Luckily for them, he had arrived in time before more of them died for the monsters.
The monsters didn't have the vampires' permission to kill all the humans. Talented humans with power above the 2nd stage should be ignored unless they attacked the monsters directly. Otherwise, such magicians should be allowed to cultivate and grow to become vampire food one day.

If Vicente hadn't saved those hundreds of survivors in Saltstar City, they would have been killed until there was almost no one left!
