Chapter 866 War Begins
Vibrant atmosphere of Dushkarbor's world turned eerie and silent.
Despite the sun still being up, everything began turning dark due to the cloud coverings.
It was just a matter of time before not just Lith, but even the residents of the world began having an uncomfortable feeling.
Everybody could guess that it was coming.
The demon invasion... It really was coming.
Loud trumpets made a powerful sound, echoing in every person's ears. This was the signal to prepare for impact.
All the residents of the world ran inside the fortresses created, the troops took their respective formation, and the generals positioned themselves to command the various different squads.
At the highest point of Dushkarbor's watchtower, Lith sat with Solina and Idina. Joselyn, Milia, and Lydia were gone to lead the people and do the final preparations.
Chonky boi was sitting beside Lith and eating some candies. He was gazing at the sky for a while and kept to himself.
For the first time, even Chonky boi was serious and this showed how important things seemed.
Looking at the petite Solina, Lith asked, "Has Joselyn deal with the Northern Territory?"
Solina nodded her head. "The Northern Territory is now as secure as ever with not one, but three monarchs placed there."Thê ïñčëptïøn øf thïš çøntënt çån bë tråçëd tø n0v€1b¡n★
"Good. What about the Eastern side?"
It was Idina who replied this time, saying, "Occupied properly. I got news from Lydia about it just this morning."
Lith nodded again. Everything was in place finally and the world was prepared.
Solina and Idina were responsible for intelligence and logistics.
Solina was capable enough to handle huge amounts of information without getting stressed. All news was to be forwarded to her and through her, they would go to respective people.
This back and forth thing required great mental fortitude, but Lith had trained her enough for it.
Idina was supposed to provide all the necessary resources, equipment, and troops to the ones in need.
Lith discussed with the two on this topic while waiting for the demons to initiate the attack.
While he was doing so, his gaze fell on Chonky boi who was staring at a place blankly.
Lith ignored it at first, but after a few more glances, felt that something was wrong. This dude had been too quiet for a while.
"Is something wrong, Big Chonk?" Lith asked the chubby kid, trying to lighten things up.
Solina and Idina almost spit the tea they were drinking as they heard this comment from their master, but controlled themselves.
Tea wasn't available in this world until two years ago.
When Lith went on a world tour to defeat the monarchs, he ended up finding tea leaves in many places and started the tea culture.
Tea was an essential for snack times, formal meetings, and hang outs. It was a versatile drink that was greatly in need.
Chonky boi, hearing Lith's comment, turned to look at him. For the first time with great seriousness, he said,
"Big bro, you should run away."
But the damage was done now and the demons were here. Chonky could do nothing but watch and see what the war would lead to.
Lith on the other hand was momentarily surprised with the sudden explosion and tremor, but readily stabilized himself and looked at the distance where the explosion had occurred.
Through his impressive vision, he saw a group of giant demons with multiple horns on their heads shout and run towards the fortress.
They possessed heavy stone clubs that could extend at will.
The moment those giants covered a few meters, a loud explosion occurred once again, totally shattering a few giants into pieces.
Noticing their allies die, the giants roared in anger and charged faster at the fortress walls.
Lith looked at them calmly while Chonky clicked his tongue and thought, 'Baat! Dumbass big bro shouldn't have made them know that he knew their spawn points.'
"Sixteen Giants are charging from Southwest and there seems to be a swarm of locusts coming in from Northeast." Solina suddenly said.
Lith turned to Northeast in response and saw a big swarm of black locusts flying towards the fortress.
He let out a visible sigh when noticing this and said, "Make the Fly Squadron handle the locusts."
Idina nodded this time and rushed down the watchtower.
There were Fly, Underground, Water, Fire, and various other squadrons all over the world.
The naming was lame, but it was to the point.
Fly squads would handle anything that was in the air, undergoing squads were few in number but were there to handle anything that came from within the ground.
Nobody here knew about demons more than Lith and Chonky.
Chonky was an immature kid and was playing his part to seem like one. He would give out no information.
But, Lith being the lover of the Demon Queen herself, knew the ins and outs of demons and what all types were there.
Demons had the most diverse variety of creatures and to handle them a lot of different tactics had to be used.
These squads were just the tip of the iceberg Lith had planned and there was so much more present.
Moments after Idina's disappearance, Lith could see people rushing on the walls of the fortress equipped with various gears.
These people gathered around a machine that seemed like a canon and pointed it at the locusts.
"ON COUNT OF THREE!"
"THREE!"
"TWO!"
Their loud shout could be heard by Lith from the watchtower.
Right as the countdown finished:
WOOOOOOSSSSHHHH!
Flames erupted from the cannon and burned engulfed the whole locust swarm.
The locusts buzzed and writhed in pain. Foul burning smell could be heard as they died and suddenly,
Lith knitted his brows and felt a chill all over his body. In his mind he exclaimed, 'Fuck!', while Chonky shook his head and thought with a sigh, 'It's over, big bro.'
