Chapter 88: The War Begins
"Master, there is massive news that could affect the flow of the war," Yin says after slipping out of the shadows.
I was still on my throne, waiting for any problems to pop up… and this was a huge problem.
"What is it?"
"The Wolf Mountain Guardian and The Deer Mountain Guardian are working together to try and kill you," Yin replies.
My bloodlust immediately starts to leak out as I knew there would be unexpected variables but not of this scale. The largest that I thought of, was that damn bear summoning another army, for when we were already weakened.
tsk
"Yin, take the other members and guard the outskirts of our kingdom," I say before using [Mind Magic] onto my citizens.
"My kingdom, double up on the defense since I have to go to the front lines. The leaders and my wives, make sure to protect the kingdom and have no harm become of it. If any remaining soldiers did not participate in the war, help guard the citizens in case any rats try to take advantage of the chaos," I say calmly and then deactivating [Mind Magic].
"Master, do I have permission to say something," Yin asks.
"Go ahead,"
"Thank you… the guardians still think you're a siren, this means they're probably going to underestimate you... A-also can I have a reward after," Yin asks changing to her other personality.
"That's nice to know, also for the reward… I'll think about it. If you do something great I'll reward you. If there is any outside harm that comes to my kingdom or citizens, you will be punished," I say before slipping into the shadows.
"Y-yes master. I-I won't disappoint you,"
…
I only traveled through the shadows until I reached the top of my castle. I then used my feathered wings to fly in the direction I sensed my blood minions in.
It took me about 5 minutes at my top speed to arrive but I almost zoomed right over it. As I looked down the army that I sent, arrived already, so that's why the camp was jam-packed with soldiers.
As I continue to look around I proceed to land right next to a tent where Akito and his party were talking.
"We're going right now. We can't wait any longer for them to build up more forces," I say to Akito.
He nods before gathering the army in an organized position. His party points towards a tent that Mia was in, so I entered it. She was at a wooden desk with her face resting in her hands, I could tell she was stressed with the new stressful news.
"Don't worry, if they come… then I'll kill them," I say while standing behind Mia.
"Y-your highness, please forgive my rudeness," She says while standing up and gesturing for me to sit on her chair.
"You sit down on it, you're much stressed than I am. Plus we're moving out. Make sure to stay in the back so you can't be harmed," I say while exiting the tent.
I could sense her bowing as I flapped my wings once again.
…
30 minutes later, we were able to organize an army of about 1,000 soldiers. I could tell their morale increased when I arrived, so I decided to stay airborne throughout the battle… until the mountain guardians come out.
Akito was leading the army on top of a wave of… blood? It moved wherever he went and it didn't leave a trail of blood when it moved. It was just like a platform for Akito to command the army from, since he didn't have a mount.
Maybe we should start collecting mounts. I just don't know which ones fit the ridable category.
The information on where the main base camp was, had already been found so of course Akito and Mia who was in the back, already knew where to go.
It took about an hour of pushing through trees and bushes until we found a massive open camp, with wooden cabins and treehouses. It was almost as big as my kingdom currently.
The wooden walls that surrounded it already had an army surrounding it and when they saw us, they immediately alerted their superiors. Soon the spread-out army congregated in front of us with no formation at all.
I could only smirk at this since Akito had already planned for this and set up a pincer attack. The back of our army slowly trickled out, into the forest, until they surrounded our enemy's army from a distance.
It seemed they hadn't noticed, due to the severe lack of brains with their formation. The pincer attack that we set up wasn't just from the sides, but also the back as well. They didn't know what was coming.
I looked down at my army who was slightly nervous with some of them even shaking.
[Blood Devouring Army Enhancement]
A blood-red liquid leaked from my body and spread to the army below me. Even the ones in the forest received my buff as a blood-red aura surrounded them, causing their pupils to turn red.
They all looked up at me and smiled before shouting a war cry.
"WARRIORS! THIS OUR LARGEST WAR YET! MAKE SURE NOT TO LET DOWN OUR QUEEN!" shouts Akito while jumping off his blood wave.

…
"I should help kill some of these bastards to level up my title,"
I continued to watch the war unfold but I had one suspicion so far. The warriors that we were fighting, were only made up of werewolves. If both mountain guardians were working together, then the deer mountain guardian should have a humanoid descendent as well.
Suddenly, the soldiers that were prepared for the pincer attack had already activated their blood minions. Once I switched my eyesight, I saw green women and men made up from plants and different flowers, slaughtering my soldiers before me.
tch
"Dryads…"
I didn't even need to [Inspect] them to know that they were dryads. The green bastards were controlling the plants around them, absorbing my soldiers into trees, and pulling them into the ground. My blood minions barely helped out.
"Akito, we missed the dryads that are surrounding this open space. Their main bodies are the trees surrounding this open field," I say while using [Mind Magic] only to Akito.
I saw him look up at me and nod but… there was no plan behind that nod.
"I'll just do it myself," I mutter before flying up and activating both pieces of my soul equipment.
I felt a dress wrap around me as I pull out a long katana from my palm. I take a deep breath in and do a full 360 swing while wrapping some of the blood-red aura around me.
My swing was silent until you saw all of the trees in a 1-mile radius, cut in half. The dryads tried to escape to another tree but I activated [Lavas Will] and melted any tree that was within my sight.
I not only cleared up more space for fighting, but I got rid of the dryads since they were a huge nuisance. There weren't that many to begin with, maybe just a few a hundred, so I assumed there was more in their regular territory.
"I should "invite" them to my kingdom," I mutter with a smile.
Soon a rumble could be heard from below me as the sky above us turned to night. Even the sun was replaced by a moon.
Trees and even more plants erupted from the ground, not only eating my army but the opposing army as well.
"They're here… the mountain guardians finally appeared,"
I was still on my throne, waiting for any problems to pop up… and this was a huge problem.
"What is it?"
"The Wolf Mountain Guardian and The Deer Mountain Guardian are working together to try and kill you," Yin replies.
