Chapter 126 - Incoming War.

Okay, I want to ask if y'all have any suggestions for rewards to each and every chat group member?

I already have an idea for Erza which is a armor and weapon set from Terraria. I won't spoil which but I'm certain you'll like it.

But I don't know about Gojo, Vandalieu, Rias, Yamato and Shinobu.

You can decide what to give.

Anyways, enjoy and Toodaloo Bitches.

============

People were gathered within the castle halls to discuss the incoming army that would arrive around a week or so depending on their pace. They were all heavily armed, which caused them to take a short break. Normally it would take longer but due many actions surrounding them means that there is a cause as to why the army arrived this soon.

It was possible that the Gods of Lambda on Alda's side had sent a divine message to their priest named Gordon. Though, God can't converse with mortals and normally would result in trying to interpret the message but it's likely that Alda gave simple words like "Quickly" since sending out full sentences would be misinterpreted and cause confusion.

At the moment, using the eyes of the infected, Ryuu gauges that most elites are C class while regular soldiers are at least D class level of skills and abilities. He pity how these people are going to die after seeing them saying goodbye to their lovers and mother's. Negi won't be participating in the fight while Erza normally doesn't kill but she is well capable of doing so. These individuals are not going to back down and this was war.

Though, Vandalieu and the others are going to commit a lot of war crimes but this law doesn't exist so it was fine. Even if it did, this applies only on the side of Alda because they see the creature within Talosheim as a mindless monster.

Still, they were wrong to assume it since Undead are usually mindless creatures but thanks to Vandelieu's charm helped them gain their sanity.

Anyways, this was a war where morals were thrown out of the window while Ryuu could prevent it but using [ hypnosis ] wouldn't always work against everyone and eventually someone would catch on and stop his manipulation. Not mentioning their resistance.

Furthermore, residents of Talosheim also have families and lovers that they cared for. Everyone couldn't sit down and negotiate since people of the Amid Empire wouldn't rest until every scrap of Vida race was exterminated.

Ryuu doesn't feel anything killing them, only feels pity but won't go out of his way to stop them. He could only hope to devour them and not let their body go to waste.

"I've already sent some scouts and a base from where their pace would arrive in a week or two."

He shared with Van who nodded as every one that he trusted shared their opinion on the incoming battle.

"Finally! I was itching for a good fight!"

Borkus exclaimed being fueled with adrenaline to fight some people since monsters in the dungeon are too predictable due to their low intellect.

"Fool! Your killing intent is making every quiver!"

Zadiris scolded those weak like Ryuu's women who hadn't experienced a Rank 9 Zombie Hero. He is a person capable of single handedly slice through the neck of a dragon.

He is the strongest in terms of strength and capabilities since he was an A class adventurer when he was alive.

"Ah sorry, I got too excited."

"It's fine, Brokus-san."( Mitsuri )

"Have you seen any vampires?"

The one who spoke was a pale skin beauty with red hair and pointed ears. She was a Noble born vampire which are people turned into Pure blood vampire while vampires made by Noble born vampires are called Subordinate Vampires.

Her name was Eleanora who had betrayed the vampire that worships an Evil god and devotes herself to Van after witnessing him destroy a person's soul.

"I didn't have them but most likely close by in the mercenary group."

Apart from the army of the kingdom there are also mercenaries who joined the fight. The difference between a mercenary group to an adventurer is that they normally take any jobs and have a larger group than adventurers.

Though Ryuu knows virtually everything in this world, take it with a grain of salt knowing that there could be mistakes and differences in the fictional story compared to the one he is experiencing.

"Then our plan is the same."

Van said as he had all prepared several plans in case his first plan fails, namely using disease created from his Death attribute magic that doesn't affect anyone influenced by the Death attribute charm which meant it excluded Ryuu and his group.

However, Ryuu is able to make antibodies to contract the disease to not affect his lovers but he didn't have to as their [ Aura ] could shield them against it. This also applies to everyone in the chat group.

Going back to the plan of war, Van had created three layers of wall with the outermost layer thinner than the other that was meant to break because they are actual golem that he made.

They have an element of surprise and would cause panic among themselves as everyone slowly drains after the disease. Even if they use Purification it would be too late.

Only the vampires would be left due to their resistance against poison and disease but Van also prepared using mercury mirrors that could intensify light which would burn the vampires.

"Then I'll go ahead and scout. Alex and Justine try to not get ahead of themselves, Shinobu tries to use your poison at minimum to avoid affecting the others. Kie keep yourself at a distance and try to support the others, namely the wounded, when Misturi and Nezuko try to keep the enemies from reaching Kie."

"Okie dokie! Blue and I will protect mom!"

"You can count on us."

"I'll try my best to help."

Nezuko felt excited when her pet raptors gave a small roar in agreement while Mitsuri gave a strong nod and Kie slightly anxious about the whole ordeal but took a deep breath and changed her expression since she already knew this was going to happen and didn't want to be useless.

"Come on, what do you think I am? A brute."

"Of course not….your much worse than that."

"I hate you."

"I love you too."

Ryuu laughed while Justine glared at him and tried punching him but evaded all of them making everyone sweatdrop. Seeing them interact, Rias can't help feeling jealous since she had gotten closer to Ryuu but hadn't said anything yet, deciding to at least confess after the mission to give him time to think about it. As for Erza, she currently only has respect for Ryuu but will likely blossom into one.

"Don't mind them and we will make sure to provide our help the best we can."

Trese reassured them having felt that they were more manageable than the monsters and creatures from her own world.

She always hoped that humans and monsters from her world would get along but after spending time in Lambda and learning its history knows that people always do not come to understand when they have different views and values.

Afterward, Ryuu decided to head to the church with Kie and Trese. It was well known that gods exist in this world therefore have stronger faith. And those gods are able to see what their followers see and even send divine messages to their most devoted followers.

Though, sending a divine message isn't like chatter rather those who hear the message of a god always misinterprets them if not careful. One of said misinterpretations was S class Adventure "Thunderclap", Scheinder who was viewed as an ally of Alda and Amid but in truth is actually helping Vida races.

The gods sent a message about his true nature yet the word of "Scheinder is dangerous or an enemy" was misinterpreted as "that man is in danger" which made the people view that their god was concerned for his being.

"Was our prayer heard by Goddess Vida?"

Kie asked as she was a religious person and believed in gods. She had learned about Vida and her action that made Kie sympathize since Vida only wanted to make her children stronger to protect themselves.

"She did, however due to her wound she's likely in slumber and could send out divine protection or message."

The last Divine message that Vida ever conjured was from roughly two hundred years ago after the fall of Talosheim at the hands of Mirg Shield nations. The content was about Van's arrival to be the Holy son of Vida.

In truth he is actually her hero, Zakkart that she summoned a hundred thousand years ago but only a fragment of his soul that clumped together with the other three Creation minded heroes.

"I wonder if our gods from our world also do this."

Trese wondered if she had met the God of War and Goddess of death, Ibu and it wouldn't be strange that other gods exist.

"The likelihood they follow the same system of how god is in our world is high."

"Greetings, I'm glad you people are praying for our Goddess Vida."

The one who spoke was the lich who managed the church of Vida and Talos, Nuaza. He was a titan with a rotten face yet had a friendly spirit around him.

"We only came by to pray. Perhaps it would help Goddess Vida from her wound."

"It would surely do and I heard that the enemy are marching. I pray for your safety."

"Thank you, Nuaza."

The Titan Lich seemingly smiled from his decaying flesh, pleased that Ryuu showed concern for their goddess. They soon headed back preparing for the incoming battle.

A week had gone by and the army had stationed close to the kingdom of Talosheim. Everyone was already ready and Ryuu's woman had been provided with living armor made from Ryuu's flesh.

He made something similar to a Symbiote but not quite as strong yet didn't have the same weakness as those creatures. Gojo didn't add any since he had [ infinity ] while Negi didn't fight alongside them and Yamato has Haki to protect herself.

Only ones who received them outside of Ryuu's woman were Rias and Erza who grew alongside them having their own will after Ryuu asked Vandalieu to pour a soul into it. Ryuu still hadn't gotten the chance to manipulate soul yet but he was confident he'll eventually will.

"I guess it's time to do some snipping and slicing." Ryuu said with his main body at the front lines while his clone was at the height to do some sniping. Everyone has their own armor that provides ways that enchant their abilities. Ryuu had made his own even though it was made from his flesh still was made from material and properties of high ranking monsters.

He glance over to see Trese wearing a armor who had similar armor as Jin-woo with some adjustment and Justine had minor armor since she gets stronger as she fights while Shinobu, Kanae and Mitsuri had similar outfit as their demon slayer outfit with some adjustment that will move to protect them.

Kie and Nezuko also had some light armor with the Milf having a more mage outfit while Nezuko had similar outfit as her anime counterpart with minor changes.

"Is the armor necessary?" Justine asked Ryuu, seeing it serve no purpose besides aesthetic for him.

"Come on, it's all about presentation!" Ryuu jokingly said seeing his outfit goes hard in his opinion.

"Yeah, not gonna lie, you look great in that." Gojo was stretching nearby as he said those words.

"I can't wait to test myself!" Yamato tapping her weapon while Rias churching her energy glanced over to Ryuu trying to show that she had changed thanks to him.

The army has no idea what to about to be unleashed upon them.
