Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 83: War

With the Firebird agreed with Sol to help him fight the Ant Demigod, Sol starts to go over the city fighting power.

"How many heirs who could fight in the city?" Sol asked Nix who was with him the whole time, she had been following him around as he wants her to explain their situation better.

"We have close to two hundred and fifty people with combat ability, we have few strong individuals who could take multiple heirs but most are only able to cope with one enemy on the same level" She explained dutifully.

Sol was surprised as that's way more than he had expected, the number of combat-oriented Heir in the city almost twice the number of heirs in his city.

But even with such a number, the ant army has even more Heirs with them, almost every ant had turned into an heir as every single one of them were the descendants of the Ant Queen.

"Do you think we could win?" Sol asked the Demigod as she was the leader of the city, even if they only been a leader for a few days, She would have a better understanding of their situation than anyone else.

"Yes we will, as long as we take care of the Demigod then we will win," she stoically replied.

"How about casualty?" Sol looked at the red-haired girl in suspicion as he had heard she tried to Control the city population according to Gaea's will.

"I there is nothing to hide actually, there would be a lot of casualties as the ants have twice as much number of an heir, if we only fight with our heirs then we would lose a lot of Heirs, if we use normal people who can fight to bridge the gap then we would also lose a lot of those people," She didn't try to hide it as there is no way to avoid casualties.

"This won't do, I will make the Strategy for our fight, tell every leader of the Temple to follow it, we won't use anyone but heir as they bound to die if they fight the ant's heir army," Sol told her.

It made the red-haired girl's face grew red in anger as she was the ruler of the city, it was unthinkable for other to command her around like a subordinate, as a Demigod she has high pride.

She soon calms herself down and went away to gather the temple's representative to meet Sol for a strategy meeting, She knew that she was weaker than Sol and it would do her no good to go against his command.

With the Demigod out of the way Sol turned to the rest of his companion, "Look like we need to help with this war, any of you object to this?" He asked.

No one object as they also want to protect the city, even though it was not their home, it was still somewhere they had been to.

"Dad, we need to fine uncle and aunty," Nerva said as she was worried about her parents.

Sol did not think much about it as it was normal for her to worry about someone who was good to her, "go with Miya and Tanya, they won't join the fight so they can accompany you" he said.

With that, Miya, Nerva, and Tanya leave in search of the old couple while Sol stays with Moon and Blacky, both of them was an important piece for his plan to beat the ant's heir army.

Sol went to find Jacob again to ask for more information, he needs to find out what their enemy was capable of to create a viable strategy before Nix comeback with the temples' representative.

"Jacob, can you tell me about the ant's bloodline ability?" Sol asked the younger man.

"They only have one type of ability, as far as I know, their body could submerge under the ground like it was water," He said while pointing to the ground.

"Any offensive ability they have? Like dealing a massive amount of damage or a wide-area attack? Do they have a long-range attack?" he started to ask every single aspect he could think of.

"I don't think they have any special attack, just stabbing and bitting, they also don't have any long-distance attack, they would just swim under the ground and stab people from the bottom."

"their other trait was strong chitin armor covering their body, it could stand a lot of damage, coupled with their ability, it makes them very tricky to kill," Jacob added.

This gave Sol a headache as the ant was really hard to handle, their movement would be very unpredictable as they could go underground, basically, formations would be useless to be used against them.

"Hmm... their ability make it complicated, but so far there was not much to change from my initial plan" Sol muttered to himself.

Sol's plan was to let Moon and Blacky become a frontline while the other Heir would be supporting them from behind, but the plan needs a little modification because of the ant's ability.

The majority of the heir would need to hide near the temple and support from far away so they won't be attacked by the ants while those who can fly would attack from the sky.

Blacky and Moon would need to block hundred of ants with their regeneration as a cornerstone, Moon's regeneration had been growing stronger so she should be able to hold on.

Blacky on the other hand would be the main attacker and defender against the Ant, Sol plan that the fire bird's heirs would supply Blacky with their fire to heal and strengthen it, the other heir with fire ability would do the same as well.

With that, it was possible for them to hold out against the swarm of ants but it was questionable if the ant would attack them if they knew they were even more resilient than a cockroach.

It would be impossible to stop hundred of ants if they were to ignore defenders, two against five hundred was unrealistic.

Sol already thinks about the solution when Nix got back with a group of people, Sol could sense everyone's power, even though they were nothing compared to a Demigod but they were, without doubt, strong in their level.

It did not take long before they go to a conference room which was created to accommodate meetings in an emergency.

This meeting was different than his last meeting in his own city, no one tried to manipulate or use him, no one was bold enough to try and provoke Sol.

Sol explained his plan to the group which resulted in confusion as they did not believe his plan would work.

Even though they were in doubt, no one had the gut to question him, no one but a single person, "Would they really able to stop that much heir? Nix asked the question.

"It's not that I don't believe them but, would not it be better that we use everyone's help?" She said which soon to be seconded by others in the room.

"Tell me, how much fire ability user we have?" Sol asked one of the most important aspects of the plan.

"It's quite common, we have with my heirs, we have twenty of them" She replied.

"Then we do not need to fear, Blacky, as a hellhound would be nearly unbeatable with that much fire, supplied, I also have a countermeasure in place so they can't easily ignore our vanguard" Sol tried to reassure them.

Everyone reluctantly agreed and the meeting ended as Sol had said he would do something about it, they would be doubting his capability if they object further.

The scout had told them that the ant army was camping three-hour distance from the city, they stand there waiting, from the last attack, they expect that the army would attack at sundown.

The Ant doesn't need light to see so it would be best if they attack in the dark, some people had suggested to attack them before dark but most decline as they have less number, and being on the offensive while in disadvantage was anything but a smart choice.

Sol was waiting for Nerva after the meeting but she hasn't returned, he looked around the camp but he still could not find her.

"Is she still looking for Sasha's parent?" Sol thing to himself, they did not have a cellphone so he could not get in touch with them.

He decided to wait for them to return as he still have preparation to make and he could not search for them.

By sundown, Nerva and the other haven't returned to the camp which gave Sol worry, they were supposed to search around the temples to find the couple but it's been hours and they haven't returned.

"I should have to tell Blacky to search for them, now it's about time for the attack, we need him here at the frontline" Sol lamented.
