20 Army of the Asuras.

Andhaka stood at the top of the palace and looked at the armies of Asuras gathering below.

There wasn't much focus on the system or organising techniques used by the army during this time but Andhaka knew how important it was to have a good teammate holding your back.

Just imagine if you have someone like Ramos or Van Dijk at your back then you can go in front with confidence but if you have somebody like Maguire and Fred them you have to play as a midfielder while being a striker.

Although there were Asura generals and there were quite a few to be exact but they were generals only for the name as all they do in battle is rush at the enemy badly from the front.

" How is Jalandhara " Andhaka turned back and asked Kalanemi who was coming toward him from inside of the palace.

For the past few days, he has been taking care of the child whenever he was free and was of course attached to him as he was the only left Family member he has apart from Kalanemi and his real father.

" He is sleeping, what else could be he doing other than that after wreaking havoc in the whole of the Asura realm. " Kalanemi spoke with dissatisfaction as his older treated Jaladhara very nicely but he wasn't the one to look after him personally so he didn't get to experience how much of a disaster Jalandhara really was.

In the past few days since Andhaka has returned, there has been an alarming number of earthquakes and deafening sounds which had made the whole of the patala realm uneasy and the reason for it?

Jalandhar was simply crying and throwing his hands here and there. It was an understatement to say that they were shocked by the power that the child had at such an early age.

Even while only being an infant he had the strength of a peak Ultimate class who was just gonna reach God class in some time.

' Heh, it's this world's baby beel. ' Andhaka thought with an amusing smile. His brother's power of destruction was much more pure inherently so he was not that surprised by such things and it was not him who takes care of Jalandhara all the time so he was burdneless in this matter.

" The report I asked you to make " Andhaka's smile disappeared and he spoke in a serious voice while raising his hand towards Kalanemi.

" Here this is it. " Kalanemi gave a slab of stone with letters encrypted upon it to Andhaka.

Andhaka looked at the stone slab and a grimace formed upon his face. the paper hasn't been invented more likely it was not here in this world as it was the Egyptians who created it and he is in the world of Hindu mythology so the thing which they currently used to write down texts were animal skins and slab if stones.

He is not knowledgeable in the field of papermaking but he has decided to at least try to make paper once as he is not used to this animals skin and slabs of stone.

" Well, whatever let's focus on that later on. " Andhaka sighed a little and looked at the slab of stone in his hands.

Upon it was written some Sanskrit letters which were the detail of the number and strength of the Asura army.

Total population - 105, 000

•Total members available for combat. - 72, 000

•normal soldiers ( Below ultimate class ) - 71,000

•Ultimate class - 695

•Satan class - 270

•God class - 30.

•High God class - 5.

( These power level names are in this form so that we don't have to be confused and check that chapter again and again. )

for any other mythology, these numbers would have been incredibly humongous but in the Hindu mythology, it was all normal as if they say it was all according to K...

Even Shiva alone had a whole army of divine beings serving him, named the Ganas which were only a little less than the Asura army in number so it wasn't a big thing for them to be happy with such numbers.

" By the way who is the fifth Atimaharathi? " Andhaka asked Kalanemi.

From what he knows there are only four High-level gods in the Asura rank currently which included Him, Svarbhanu, Prahlada and the dragon Vritra so why was it written down as five.

" This matter is a little troublesome. " Kalanemi spoke with a sigh.

" The fifth one is the Half Buffalo and Half Asura named Mahishasura. He is the son of the previous First Asura general, Rambha who was the adversary of Agni the fire God and thus he killed by Agni during the previous battle and his son who also like his father with immense control over fire decided to attack the Svarga for revenge but he was sealed below the Rasatala ( Realm of Asuras ) by Prahlada as he was disrupting the peace and making riots in the pataal. Even I don't like that guy too much. He is very shrewd, deceptive and manipulating and nobody knows what he is thinking So I advise you to take care of this matter with extra care. " Kalanemi spoke seriously as he didn't trust Mahishasura even a little bit and was in no way in the favour of freeing him from the seal.

" Well, I will deal with him later on but first arrange an army meeting and invite all the Asuras who have reached the level of God class. " Andhaka spoke with a poker face and he will of course free Mahisasura as no matter how much shrewd and manipulative he may be, in the end, he also hated the devas just like him so how can he miss the chance to get such a good warrior.

As for the reason for calling a high-level meeting? it was of course to discuss the strategies for their upcoming battle and he wanted to make a proper classification of the army and establish a system that would make things easier to control the army till its roots.

" Hey, Andhaka I have an idea? " Svarbhanu came running to him with a little smile on his face.

" What happened " Andhaka looked at his cousin.

" I was thinking about how to make peace with the nagas and I have found a way. " ( Svarbhanu. )

" Well I am listening. " ( Andhaka )

" Marriage. A marriage between a high-level Asura into the high ranking of Nagas. "

" .... Then, by all means, please marry, if you get a good wife then you will be happy and if you get a bad one then you always have the chance to be a philosopher. "

"I wasn't talking about my marriage. "Svarbhanu spoke with a confused face, the modern age sarcasm was too much for the good'ol him.

Even for the term philosopher was the first time he has heard it.

" ... we are the Asuras how can we compromise first to the Nagas and sent them an offer for marriage. it should be them who should come at us and offer their women as our concubines. " Andhaka spoke with anger and passion.

" I am talking about the marriage of Virochana. According to the outside world, he Is still the Asura king and it would be no problem to get the nod of nearly any marriage partner in the naga race. The Naga princess Ulupi and princess Sulochana are both at the age of marriage. " Svarbhanu spoke with a stoic face.

" Nah leave it. Let's leave the Nagas for later on and we don't need to be this much polite to them. " In his heart, it was final that one day he will fight Vishnu and there is no need to guess who the Nagas will support at that time and he also does not thinks too much favourably of the Naga race so he doesn't want to make the situation complicated by allying with them now and he can betray them later on but he wasn't a human anymore and lying or breaking a promise is considered a great sin here and he also follows this rule so he thinks it's best to ignore the nagas for the moment.

" Since you say then let's leave it aside. I also have another thing. It's a message and request from me and Vritra. " ( Svarbhanu. )

" Say what it is " Andhaka spoke with interest as this was the first time the dragon Vritra had some words for him.

It has been seven-eight days since he has came out and nearly all the powerful Asuras had come to meet with him in person but this wasn't the case with Vritra.

Although he wasn't angry or anything but he certainly did put Vritra in his bad books.

" Could you start training with us. You should have already figured out what I am saying. " ( Svarbhanu )

"......Ok. " Andhaka spoke calmly as there was no loss in him practising with them and letting them learn a thing or two about the concept of darkness from him.

He can already be considered the God of Darkness in the Hindu mythology and so he must also have his personal subordinates.

Vritra and Svarbhanu were his also his subordinates but they also had other responsibilities to handle so he must form a group of talented and loyal warriors who only served him and not the throne of the Asuras.

" I have lots and lots of work to do and you also have lots and lots to write, isn't it right, author. " Andhaka spoke while looking towards the sky.
