Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 269 The Kingdom Of Twilight Vs The Plane Of Twilight (3)



"*gag*."

After gagging once, I couldn't help but suppress the puke that quickly exploded from my mouth.

"You're a good girl, right?" Auntie asks, not even checking on me while entirely focused on staring into Yin's eyes.

Yin nodded her head violently before the darkness covering her mouth was slowly removed.

"*cough* *cough* *cough*... Did she fold cause of that? Weren't assassins supposed to be able to resist more pain?" I mutter to myself after wiping my mouth.

"Now… Could you answer my question? Where's Ina?"

The temperature of the room seemed to drop drastically as Auntie met her nose with Yin's.

"S-she… S-she…"

Yin still seemed to be hesitant with her answer, but it was clear that the main reason she was hesitant was fear. She feared what would come next if she spoke her response.

And it seemed I wasn't the only one who noticed this as Auntie's eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"You keep saying 'I'... When both of you were present, you said 'we'... So tell me, where is she?" Auntie asks one last time, but I was positive she already knew what Yin's answer would be.

She just felt like torturing her a bit and taking her anger out on her.

"A-Auntie… Please calm down. She came to give us a message, so please wait for her to tell you the message before taking your anger out on her," I stepped in, though I was practically shaking in fear.

"Tsk… Come on, speak up," Auntie orders.

"Mistress Arpious said, 'Be careful. There are going to be warriors probably as strong as you, so please be careful,'" Yin says, suppressing her fear for just a split second as Auntie backs up a bit.

"*sigh*... She doesn't need to tell me that. I already know, so that's why I've created this plan," Auntie mutters to herself before glancing back at Yin, who froze up.

I can't watch anymore of this… It's just sad.

"You're dismissed. I'll hear your excuse later- Actually, I've needed a footrest, so stay for a bit. I think Arpious would understand," Auntie says while licking her lips slightly.

"I-If that is what Mistress wants," Yin responds as she stumbles back onto her feet.

"Yeah, come here. It's about to get interesting anyway,"

I tilted my head to the side as I was confused at what Auntie meant by that until I felt thousands upon thousands of dangerous signatures penetrate my sensory range.

A thick drop of sweat ran down the side of my cheek as I turned around and looked out the window.

Thousands of shiny, large suits of armor holding thousands of tiny, weak, frail humans. In one hand, they had a sword, and in the other, they held a large metal shield which I noticed was half the size of their body.

"Tch… They are going so over the top for only a few thousand soldiers," Auntie says, slamming her feet onto Yin's back.

"How many is that?" I mutter to myself.

"It's about 15000 if my estimate is correct," Auntie responds almost instantly.

​ "That is overkill,"

"Yeah… Well, we have you. Summon your skeletons only a few minutes after the first contact is initiated. We don't want them retreating now, right?"

"Yep,"

"Also, how many undead do you have?"

"About 20000 but with this war, I should be able to not only replenish my undead but also gain a few thousand more,"

"That's the mindset. Already knowing we're going to win,"

"Yeah, but I'm still nervous,"

"Of course, you'd be nervous!" Auntie responds before chuckling to herself a bit.

"Are you sure your plan will work?" I ask once more, as I've already asked a hundred times over the past few hours.

"Yes. I've taken the terrain of the battlefield into account, how many soldiers there are, their firepower which is much less than ours, and of course our firepower which is much more… It also seems they wanted to try and overwhelm us with numbers as they knew monsters are inherently stronger than them," Auntie says.

"Wait, so they didn't bring any hard-hitting humans?"

"Well, I wouldn't call them hard-hitting, though they might seem like that in a soldier's eyes… They're the commanders. The commanders can probably wipe out 50 monsters before dying as it seems these specialize in leading,"

"So this is just a warm-up, right?"

"Yep, now get out there and have some fun," Auntie says, giving me a thumbs up with a broad smile as if the last moments didn't just happen.

"Haha… yeah," I responded while glancing at Yin, who didn't even move a muscle.

"Commander, have you finished inspecting them?" The man to the right of me asks as he sits on his large Mud Unicorn.

He was clad in large metal armor, and a large red metal spear was tightly grasped in his right hand. It was so large that it was practically as long as his horse itself.

"Yes, the two commanders are quite troublesome, but with these numbers, we should win. We need the mages to focus on the second commander as she is immune to physical attacks," I respond.

"Wait, you don't mean she's a spirit, do you?"

"That's exactly what she is,"

"Shit!"

"Yeah… But we need to push forward without hesitation,"

"As you wish,"

"MY SOLDIERS SCREAM IF YOU WANT TO BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF THESE MONSTERS!" I shout to rile up my men.

"ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" They responded, raising their weapons in the air, and I could practically feel their thirst for blood.

"Commander, the others are ready. Once the first commander makes the signal, we are all going to charge in," The man beside me, who I've deemed my right-hand man not too long ago, informs.

"No formations or strategies? Just charging in?" I respond, slightly shocked.

"Hmph, you think we need strategies against such a small amount of soldiers?" I hear an irritating yet familiar voice come from behind me.

Turning my head, I saw the second commander, who was just a rank ahead of me, the third commander.

He was clad in sleek black armor and held a giant white long sword in his right hand. But, the most noticeable part was his giant Mud Unicorn, whose muscles were so big you'd think it's a higher ranking unicorn.

"Don't underestimate them… They're still monsters at the end of the day… And on top of that, they are monsters who declared war on the entire plane," I respond, my bloodlust leaking out.

I can't stand this piece of trash. He thinks he's so good, but in reality, he's only a commander due to his overwhelming power rather than his leadership skills.

"Huh? You want to go?" The second commander responds, gripping his long sword while reaching for the halberd resting against my shoulder.

"Please stop, sirs. The first commander is about to start," My right-hand man steps in before things go too heated past the point of no return.

Tsk

"Tch… Fine… Let's duel once we get back,"

"Sure, you're dead meat," I respond before we split up and return to our original spots.

And just as my beautiful partner, Grazer, my Mud Unicorn returned to our original position, I gleaned at the first commander who swung his arm down, signaling our attack.

"SOLDIERS, ARE YOU READY!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

Adrenaline, something I haven't felt in quite a while, pumped through my body as if it were blood.

There was so much that my breathing began to get rapid, but it was also so addictive and pleasureful that I didn't want it to stop.

"Ah, this is war," I mutter as my army runs off with me following after.

I gripped my halberd tightly in my hand before raising it above my head, crying out as I felt the magicians of my army grant me buffs.

But suddenly, a chill ran down my spine, and a question immediately came to mind.

"Was the ground always pitch black?" I mutter before the chilling sensation returned... and my face went pale.
