Arpious of the Planes

tsk

Just a few minutes prior to my outburst, Yin alerted me on tons of information that her corp received from all the kingdoms they monitored.

Most of it was pretty useless until she got to the part where all the emperors and high rulers were gathering for a meeting.

She said this was unexpected and extremely rare as they are usually at each other's throats, but suddenly they came for a gathering? And I didn't even need to bring it up as Yin already assumed it was due to the appearance of myself and my kingdom.

"This will be the final war," I mutter with eyes filled to the brim with unwavering confidence.

Standing up from my cross-legged position, I touch the tree beside me and push with all my might, causing it to be snapped in half almost instantly.

"Fooooooo… I just barely managed to keep it under control, and I guess this is another benefit of this new evolution… Intense bloodlust," I mutter.

Maybe that's also why my thirst for fighting has increased tenfold. I can barely sit still and can hardly wait to fight strong enemies… but not yet. I have to let Hades prove himself. This is a perfect moment, and I can't ruin it for him just to satisfy my desires.

"It seems Yin is following Kumo's orders, so I won't call her for now… Ava, Alexa," I call out for my other pets, who appeared right beside me.

"Yes, Mistress," They both respond.

"Gather all the corps and make sure they arrive before all the soldiers are gathered here… Don't leave anybody out," I order.

"As you wish,"

And after only a few minutes and some soldiers gathering near the front of the wall, all my corps had arrived except for Yin and some assassin corps members as they were out gathering even more information.

"All of you will stay back and not fight until I tell you to do so," I order.

They were confused as they were the highest-tiered warriors in my kingdom and could wipe out a small army if they wanted to… but they were forced to stay back even at such an important war?

"I know all of you are confused, but you won't be on the frontline. As the kingdoms will most likely realize after a while that I'm using my entire army, they will most likely send some higher-tiered warriors to this kingdom to create some chaos.

And you all will be the ones to defend the kingdom once they come," I order, allowing some reassurance for the impatient corps in front of me.

"As you wish," They all respond before I signal for them to leave.

As soon as every member disappeared from my site, I jumped back onto the branch of a large tree behind me as I waited for more soldiers to arrive.

And 5 hours later, when the sun began to set, each soldier had arrived.

"5000… 10000… 20000… Very nice. It seems our army has grown quite a lot," I mutter to myself, but I knew this wasn't enough to take on the hundreds of thousands of human soldiers that we'll encounter.

"Mom, should we leave?" I hear Freya ask as they came to find me a few hours ago while I waited and tried to control my outpouring bloodlust that seemed to have no limit.

"Yeah, I feel like we should help with the war instead of studying in a different kingdom," Luna adds.

Both my daughters wanted to help with the war as they had been starved from fighting for quite a while. They were just practicing techniques and not hunting.

"Did school resume?" I ask my daughters.

"Yeah, a few days ago, but I guess it will be stopped for quite a while again," Freya responds.

"Then didn't you both train at school?" I ask my daughters.

"Yeah, but they're not fun. Everybody is so weak," Luna complains, with her tongue hanging out of her mouth.

What a bad habit. Hasn't Kumo been doing this as well?

"First of all, keep your tongue in your mouth, and second of all, your brother is more than enough for this war," I smile while stroking Luna's hair.

"Zehar or Hades?" Freya asks as she tilts her head.

"Both… They're both one-man armies, but only one is a great leader while the other is selfish and egotistical,"

"Yeah, Zehar is annoying if you try to fight with him. In the beginning, I thought that he was trying to protect us, but he just wanted to horde all the XP for himself," Freya pouts while crossing her arms.

I chuckled to myself before glancing at the impatient army. Some were drafted, while some came here of their own volition.

I recognized even a few faces as they were people I fought beside in the very early wars, such as the one against the Blood Crawlers.

And right next to the immense armies split into sections were the commanders who tried to keep the morale up... also, for some strange reason… Olivia was doing the best job as it seems she's created a bond between herself and her army.

"Interesting… she proved me wrong," I mutter.

"What's interesting?" Luna asks.

"Nothing… Anyway, get going. You were supposed to leave a few days ago, so don't stall anymore," I say as I give my daughters a nudge of the tree.

"Okay… Love you," They both say before jumping off and disappearing into the crowd of soldiers.

And once I felt the morale drop significantly, I jumped down from the tree and partly released my bloodlust to wake everybody up.

Almost instantly, the bodies of my soldiers froze, and even my commanders struggled to turn around as I walked towards the center-front of the army, causing their eyes to lay upon me.

There was a mix of admiration and fear as each step I took shook the air… It was great.

"If you fought by me in the battle against Blood Crawlers or if you were one of the amazonians we saved… please step forward… That should be easy enough for you," I announce with a wide smile.

Nonchalantly, eight figures stepped out from the large army, only slightly hindered by my bloodlust, which they seemed to have already adjusted to.

Why was this possible when even my commanders were struggling?

Simple.

It's because they had to survive in the wild and not in the comfort of a kingdom where their safety is almost guaranteed… And what do you need in the wild?

"Adaptability…" I mutter as five Elves, now high elves, and four Amazonians who seemed to have evolved into children of the forest, line up in front of me.

"We greet the queen," All of them say while kneeling one knee in front of me.

"Good, it seems you guys haven't rusted in the slightest," I say as their aura told me everything I needed.

Adaptability, the aura of a veteran… and outrageous monsters, which is exactly what I needed.

"You all will split among the present 8 Commanders. It doesn't matter what you specialize in; just support them in any way you can as all we're doing is a full-frontal attack with a few strategies, but… Kumo will be doing the strategy part," I say.

"As you wish," They all responded, but before they left, I asked one more question.

"Where are the rest?"

Silence… Until one person reluctantly spoke up.

"Dead,"

"I see… That's disappointing," I mutter.

There were quite a lot of great warriors, but if they're dead, I can't do anything about it unless Aika revives them, which I doubt she'll do. Plus, their corpses are probably long gone, and the families most likely want them to rest in peace.

"Okay, be on your way… Yin,"

I called for Yin after each of the veterans split among the commanders.

"Yes, Mistress," Yin says as she rises from the shadows beside me.

"Do you know when the earliest attack will be?" I ask.

"If I may speak, the empires and kingdoms are combining their armies to create a force of over 800,000,"

tsk

As soon as I clicked my tongue, Yin's pupils dilated, and she immediately lowered her head in fright at what I might do next.

My bloodlust began to leak out a bit too much, causing the soldiers near me to shiver and some to even pass out.

"*sigh*... Each soldier has to kill 40 enemies before they die… And that's not even including the opposing commanders…" I mutter while biting my fingernail.

I guess more training is needed, huh? But first...

"Do you know where they're gathering?"

If I can find out where they're gathering, we can launch a surprise attack and possibly lower that number so we can have an easier time later… As I didn't expect such a large number.

I can also maybe level up this title…

"Yes, they're gathering at this kingdom called The Kingdom of Fire,"

"Oh,"
