Empress' Evolution

Chapter 90: War I

Bleeding Rage Valley

Luna's Lunar Mind was her greatest Passive Skill. It could only be used at night and could connect to anyone 5 people at a time.

It had no range limits; if the Moon was up, it could reach anyone without a problem. It had no drawbacks other than it took a lot of stamina and mental strength to use.

Her Fatigue usually goes up to a hundred percent after an hour of use. And although it could reach anyone, the farther one was, the more it took a toll on her.

Currently, Luna was connected to Dhampy, Lilith, and Eve. She was moving through the night, and despite her low AGT stats, Luna could still go about moving like there was no problem and even manage to travel together with Lilith. It was the night, and as the Moon Queen, she got many buffs if the Moon was out; the [Gliding with the Moon] Passive Skill was one of these buffs.

Luna may be useless during the day, as she could only help Lilith take care of menial tasks, but she was an integral part of the Shadow Troops during the night.

Lilith, who was adjacent to her, stopped and rested atop a tree on her Tribulation Leopard form.

They were in the middle of nowhere; there was nothing but trees ahead of them; however, Lilith saw otherwise as she caught a glimpse of claw markings on the trees ahead.

"Luna, connect me to Dhampy."

Luna did not ask anything, and she formed a channel with Lilith and Dhampy.

~ Dhampy, what does it look like on your side? ~ Lilith casually asked while looking around.

Dhampy was moving in front, ahead of Lilith and Luna. Currently, she was perched on a branched as she analyzed the situation.

Looking around, she saw markings; there was a clawed out marking on a tree. After assessing the situation some more, she finally made the decision to answer with decisiveness:

~ There are signs of territory Markings around the area, Boss. From the looks of it, the Monsters should be Werewolves the claw marks here signified their territory. ~

~ I see it appears that we are nearby the Werewolf territory. I need to make a quick assessment of our future moves now. As for you, head North and check what kind of daemons are there. ~ Lilith said with decisiveness.

~ I understand, Boss; please take care while you move around; we are in Werewolf territory, after all. ~

~ You as well. ~

The connection disappeared, and Lilith was left to think on her own.

'Alpha go and mark this as the Werewolves' territory.'

[Okay.]

A map appeared in front of Lilith. It was the updated Minimap and was the thing that had the HNP's information integrated with it.

What she got was the B+ Rank map that's given to Hunters of this rank.

It was not as comprehensive as she wanted it to be, but it was good enough. She was currently in the place above the Scorching Forest called the Bleeding Rage Valley. It was a place ruled by the Tyrant Blood Gorilla.

The Tyrant Blood Gorilla was a daemon that led a pack of Tyrant Apes, and from what she got on the Hunters' information, the Tyrant Blood Gorilla was not an intelligent creature. But despite this fact, it was still really strong.

It moved according to its instincts and had only managed to rule this place by suppressing everything around it. In short, it was a daemon ruling by force alone.

If Lilith needed to take over this Bleeding Rage Valley, her best bet would be to beat the shit out of this gorilla, kill it, and then begin there.

But to do that, she needs to confirm that the Intelligent Daemons capable of forming actual village and cities need to know who they were so they would not necessarily attack her.

'I need to find a way to inform them without so much as antagonizing them.' Lilith was a foreign power appearing from out of nowhere, and she would not blame the other daemons if they view her as an invasive force.

'Welp, it appears that I need to start being political.' Lilith sighed as she didn't like this tedious bit, "Luna, let's go back, we're talking to the Elders of the "Werewolves", we need to have them help us communicate with the other Werewolves of this land."

At her return to the village, Lilith would speak to the Eldest of the Werewolves and she, was willing to help Lilith in any way, so, after a day of preparations, Lilith went out of her own way to visit the Werewolves and show them courtesy.

This thing was happening in the East of Stronghold 3.

This kind of movement would actually pick up humans' interest and be put for further monitoring; however, their attention was placed on the opposite side. Over at the Western Side of Stronghold 3, there was a massive Gate forming.

It was a massive Gate that had been deemed an S-Rank problem, and this gate was on the verge of having its contents escape into the world and begin wreaking havoc.

There was the risk of a Monster Outbreak...
