A contradictory wish
[OP: ]
They had already established the fact that the Demonic cultists were like a highly developed advanced civilization.
They were not the same as the normal human beings and they were not even like what they had known until now.
Perhaps these people, the higher ups at least, were from a completely different realm or world.
It was also a possibility that the one that was actually after all of this was also someone who had lived more than their age– not that they knew how old that being was or if there even was a certain individual that handled the role of the cult leader or if it was just a position that was passed down from one successor to the other.
They did not know their enemy yet even though they had this significant amount of data on their grunts.
The actual cult that made the humans and other beings into the cultits was not an enemy they had been able to pinpoint yet, so confrontation was a long way away.
