Baatorian Jihad (4)

3rd POV

At the same time, at the Heavenly Plane, the outskirts of the Dawn Continent.

Heavenly Plane was divided into many continents, but the most important one was the Dawn Continent, which served as the Headquarters of the Sunrise Alliance; additionally, it was also a Holy Place for the worshippers of the Dawn God and remnants of the Dawn Imperial Courts were also located at the Dawn Continent.

1st Legion of the 1st Army Pillars was progressing steadily, as they were among the first ones to land on the Dawn Continent after they managed to cross the oceans and break through the wards around the Dawn Continent.

"As I thought, you guys are weak!"

Shouted a General of the 1st Legion as he stomped on the young warlock female lying beneath his leg, crushing her head in gore mess.

Jabberwock Behemoth, a General of the 1st Legion of the 1st Army Pillars, didn't change a lot, at least when he was in combat. His appearance remained the same as his spiky crimson-red hair tied into a long ponytail fluttered in the air, as the wind was strong today.

"Come on, husband... we need to move fast and not have fun with fighting each stronger Warlock or God you find."

Stated his wife, as she rubbed her head in annoyance as they had already lost one hour, as her foolish husband wanted to fight more people on their way, which slowed their advance.

"But..."

Not even able to finish his words, he just begrudgingly nodded, as his wife was right, and he learned hard that a happy wife means a happy life after sleeping on the couch for ten years. The weakness of every powerful man was his wife, as they liked to say.

Hilda was also participating in the conquest, as she brought several departments of her Commissariat, as they would be systematically cleaning out the Heavenly Plane, or at least what remained from it during the march, to save time.

Additionally, the Commissariat also had plenty of powerhouses and unique individuals, so their presence would significantly speed up their advance. Additionally, they were best at searching for targets and sniffing out rebels, heretics, and other individuals that needed to be disposed of.

"Though are you sure it is wise to fight in your state?"

He questioned as his wife bonked his head in annoyance.

"I only found that I was pregnant a week ago, you idiot, and father gave me a ton of protective artifacts and spells, so even he would have to invest a lot of time to cast an injury on me."

Stated Hilda, as her wish finally came true, and she was pregnant.

Devils were one of the species that had low birth rates, and as their strength progressed, the lesser chance for the child was. Especially for those, who were of strong bloodlines like her, and even though Lord General Behemoth was a commoner, he created his own bloodline, and Jabberwock perfected it and pushed it to perfection.

She long ago longed for a child, but unfortunately, all of those from the Noble Houses have problems with procreation, even with the help of various treasures that were able to increase fertility. Especially problematic were the lineages of Elder Houses and Imperial House, or those with a unique heritage like her husband.

But finally, after many centuries of hard work, finally Lady Luck smiled at them and blessed them with a child. Now the only thing she feared was that her children would inherit their father's stupidity, but alas, that was the way of life.

"Okey, at least take Sodom with you when I am not near."

He said, as Hilda smiled that her husband was always thinking of her safety, even though she was after her mother, so she would never say it out loud, but she was happy in moments like this, that even after several thousand years, their marriage still stood strong as their love was blooming.

Sodom was a void dragon and was an actual void lifeform, and even though he was only juvenile and a few hundred years old, he was already an Archaic Dragon. He became Jabberwock's familiar after a fight and saw that they had very similar personalities.

After several hours, the 1st Legion of the 1st Army Pillars finally arrived at the first major place of importance in their conquest, as they arrived at the location of the Dawn Pillar.

Dawn Pillars were basically artifacts refined by the Dawn Lord at the peak of his strength that allowed him to control the entire Plane in an as similar way to their father, thus greatly boosting up his power and ensuring absolute control over the Plane.

Altogether there were 5 Dawn Planes, four being secondary and 1 Primary, located at the Dawn Continent's center, at the Dawn Court.

"This guy has really a problem with his ego, naming everything with a Dawn..."

Grumbled Jabberwock, as Hilda just nodded her head in agreement as they observed the fortress city, which guarded one of the four secondary Dawn Pillars.

"Okey, bring in the siege equipment and lay it down; we are going to cause some trouble, hahaha."

Laughed Jabberwock as he gave his orders, and soldiers of the 1st Legion started running here and there, bringing in the siege equipment, especially the Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries were brought here, those with the strongest firepower, as they started bombarding the fortress city that was surrounded by a protective barrier, that the Warlocks in the city, hastily activated when they realized that enemies were already at bay.

Meanwhile, the barrier was cracking; Hilda was giving directions to the Commissars who were tasked with securing their already captured territory and cleaning them out or rather rounding up everyone, transporting them to a place where they would all be exterminated.

Dawn Plane had only humans as inhabitants, so they would be killed, and their corpses would be used as food for familiars, fertilizer, or outright dropped in the Baator so the magical beasts would eat them.
