Chapter 152: First Great War Council (2)

"Okay, now let's move on to the mage and long-range armies... 

Treyni, since you can summon many soldiers, you will support Akito's army while Olivia and her army will support Owen's army. Use long-ranged attacks to help shave down their numbers so we can get to the real meat that poses a potential threat," I say.

Both Treyni and Olivia nod their heads with no objections. 

"Alright, Mia. You will serve as the war's watchtower and adjust the army by how you see fit. But make sure those adjustments will grant the greatest benefit since I'm basically making you the head commander," 

"It is an honor, your highness… Please forgive my rudeness, but where would you like me to be during the entire war?" Mia asks. 

"I want you to stay in the air and use [Telepathy] to give orders that could change the flow of the battle. Either that be when we're losing or when the war is turning into a stalemate. Never get too overconfident and try to crush them even further because that's when openings start to appear," 

"As you wish," Mia says, bowing her head slightly. 

"Okay, now I'll explain this only once, so pay attention," 

I explained the appearance of the first seven threats, which included the King, Light Hero, Fire Hero, Healing Hero, Earth Hero, Dark Hero, and the Wind Hero. I also informed them of their weapons of choice, races, and skills that I could only assume they had. 

Next, I explained the 5 challenges that I thought were going to be a good fight for Zehar alone. This included their role as the next Light Hero, Fire Hero, Healing Hero, Earth Hero, and Wind Hero. 

Also, I explained the relationships between some of them so they can take advantage of that. Rage and sadness are one of the worst things to experience in war since you'll rampage on many lives that might not even be the enemy. 

Plus, openings are created with their relentless attacks. 

"Okay, now I'll explain who is going to take care of these guys… First for the 5 challenges will be Zehar and Zehar only. I believe you can take care of it. Just make sure you don't affect our side since I know you struggle with suppressing your power," 

"I'll try my best… may I ask where I should lead them since I know you asked me to try to control my power as much as possible... but… I don't think it's possible with so many people around," Zehar says, lowering his head in shame.

It seems he's become much more humble after I put him in his place… but I don't know if he acts this respectfully towards other people. It could just be him respecting me after seeing my power… so maybe somebody has to prove their strength to him if they want his respect or attention. 

"Hmmm… try to lead them deeper into the [Blood Swamp]. The gloomy sights and terrible smell shouldn't hinder you," 

"As you wish, and I will make sure to induce as much despair as possible," Zehar says humbly, but a wide grin crept onto his face, canceling out the humble tone from before. 

"Okay, now let's move onto the seven threats… Oh, come out, Yin," I say, looking at the shadow beside me. 

"Master, I have returned,"

… 

Most of the weaker commanders were surprised by Yin's sudden appearance because they couldn't sense her at all. It was to be expected, though, since Yin is probably as strong or maybe even stronger than most of my commanders now. 

"Do you have any new information?"

"Yes. The human kingdom's army has finished assembling, and they will be heading out tomorrow morning. It has a total of about 34,000 soldiers with the same formation that I have said before," 

"Mkay… this plan should still work out since we are also recruiting more soldiers. Any more info?" 

"The king will not be participating in the war… he's looking down on us. If you permitted me to kill, I would've done it already- oh, please forgive me. I was a bad girl and spoke out of line," Yin says, lowering her head. 

"It's fine… that makes this slightly easier, but I wonder what he's planning…." I mutter to myself. 

I didn't even realize I was in deep thought until Aika snapped me out of it. 

"Babe! Continue the meeting," 

"Ah, sorry… Okay, let's move onto the seven or I guess six threats now. First, we take out the supports such as the Healing Hero and Wind Hero. These girls will be the most annoying through the battle since they focus on long-range, and this Healing Hero will keep their morale up," I say. 

"I'll kill them then," Kumo volunteers. 

"Nope! Kumo, Homura, and Aika will take them down immediately. Even if the other heroes try to protect them, push through and ignore them. Go straight for them. No hesitation," 

My wives had a wide grin that increased the pressure in the room by 10 fold. 

"All the commanders, including Treyni, will jump in to destroy the remaining heroes. Mia will take over the command for all the armies, which is definitely within her capabilities," I say, eyeing Mia, who I saw in the corner of my eye. 

She gave me a nod of confirmation before I spoke up once again. 

"We won't give them a chance to use any secret moves. And once we kill the rest of the heroes, the human armies morale will crumble, easing the burden on our soldiers," 

Once again, everybody gives me a nod of confirmation. 

"Okay, now back at the kingdom, we'll still have my subordinates stationed there with the adventures to kill anybody who tries to go around the war. Paimon and my slime bone servant will be stationed as well in case you need back up," 

"Arpious, can't you just summon your summons to do extra damage?" Homura asks. 

"No, I'm going to save them and some of my more powerful skills since the king is staying back. His nature Yin told me about is the complete opposite of what he's doing right now, so I assume he's planning something. 

He's probably going to send some people to do recon on the abilities of all of us so if you can, save your most powerful skills. This is also why I want us to gang up on the Heroes, so our side won't even have a chance of losing any of the present people," I say, my eyes scanning across everybody at the dark stone table. 

"I-I'm sorry for giving you information that turned out to be wrong… Yin was a bad girl," Yin says, looking gloomy once again. 

"No, it's real information. Judging from his physique and aura that you described, the nature that you told me seemed to fit him well… Oh yeah, Aiso, do you think you can make soul equipment and 24 regular daggers before the war starts?" I ask. 

"I assume your highness wants 24 high-quality daggers?" 

"Indeed," 

"Then I already have them made. If it is soul equipment, then… what weapon is the soul equipment going to be?" Aiso asks. 

I gave Yin a glance, which was all she needed to explain what she wanted. 

"Thank you, Master… Mister Aiso, I would like two daggers that are about 20 centimeters, including the blade and handle. Make both daggers double-sided, and both blades have to have at least 5 holes in them. Also, please add tiny needles on the very outside of the handle in case I want to punch somebody with it," Yin says. 

Adding holes on a blade will let it cut through flesh easier… I'm surprised she thought of that. Maybe she realized the slight stiffness when cutting through tendons. She's much smarter than I assumed her to be, but I guess she was the queen of a colony before. 

Also, adding needles towards the very edges of the handle is smart if she wants to disable somebody. If she knows where to punch, she could potentially cripple somebody for the rest of their lives. 

"I can make this type of weapon into a piece of soul equipment, but… I'm afraid it will take at least two days to finish both daggers," Aiso says. 

"T-two days is enough. The army is extremely slow since they are marching on foot, so it will take at least two days to get here," Yin says. 

Yin's traveling through shadows is basically teleportation now. Going all the way to the human kingdom and back in less than one day is completely possible for her. But she probably leaves the rest of the assassin corps behind and goes ahead on her own… that deserves punishment, doesn't it? Leaving your corps to finish a job faster?
