1125  The Asura God Clan Suffered Defeat, Was It?

BOOOM—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—!

Back to back rounds of cannonballs wrecked the army of devils, making them halt and focus their attention on the fortress walls.

"Unleash the artillery!" The main commander of the army on a mutant flying dragon yelled out loud from the far back. With ear piercing whooshing sounds, a thousand catapults sent balls of fire at the fortress walls.

The impact caused cracks and tremors in the walls and threw the personnel on it off balance. The morale of the charging devils were at an all time high after this, and expecting a momentary pause on the humans' side, they roared and ran to break the fortress walls. "Idiots." The soft voice of a woman said. She was the very lady with amethyst eyes, disguising herself as a man in the human fortress. With the slap on the cannon beside, a gurgling sound was produced, followed by a loud woosh as a large net was shot at the army. The net expanded in midair. By the time it landed, it was wide enough to capture a thousand devils. The lady put her mask on and disguised herself as the stoic commander from before. It was just in time, as the soldier returned shortly after and watched the huge net cast in the sky to fall down flat on the ground, trapping many devils.

In a fit of panic, the devils used every means they could to burn the net, the flames of which were reflected clearly in the soldier's eyes as he watched them. "Commander… commander look!" The soldier shouted, not knowing that it was this very commander who did it.

In the span of a few minutes, the battle which hadn't even begun yet was over. The devil army stopped in their tracks and contemplated whether to continue or not after being struck so hard.

As they checked the damages, they realized continuing further would be a meaningless risk as the chances of getting wiped out were sky high.

The commander of the army shouted to retreat and they slowly fell back, baffling the humans on the fortress. How did this happen? Did they really have the tools to cause such attacks? The humans had no clue and were in panic.

A few cannonballs and a net shouldn't have caused such damage to the mighty army. Those guys should've had means to defend against these, then why weren't they able to?

The same questions were asked by the soldier to the stoic commander in the cannon chamber. The commander replied in a serious and overbearing tone, "Some questions are better left unanswered."

The commander then made a sharp turn, whipping his coattail and leaving the room. The mysterious persona made the soldier look at him with reverence as he left.

Once the commander was gone, the soldier turned to look at the battlefield and saw the army had almost left the place. On this day, humanity had miraculously survived by a hair's breadth. They all knew they did not have the means to stop these devils, but by god's grace or whichever entity had helped them, they managed to survive to see the next day.

Leaving the cannon chamber, the stoic commander went to a secluded alley, then took off all his clothings, revealing a charismatic figure of a young lady underneath. The lady wore tight fitting leather clothes and had her well proportioned back covered by a thick coat. She walked out of the alley wearing dark sunglasses despite it being night. She took out a lollipop from her coat's pocket and sucking on it, said while casting a magic circle in front of her,

"Let's see how those old fogies are going to react."

A golden magic circle expanded into a portal and the lady walked right into it, vanishing and leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

…..

Qing Mei Sect. "Information about the Asura God Clan has just been delivered." The green-haired beauty Yan said.

All the lewd things were over and it was time for business.

Everyone was in a makeshift courtroom in the palace Lith was residing in. The three supreme ancestors along with the sect master and Wang Wei were seated in two columns in front while Lith sat at the head of the table.

The mats were cushioned enough to feel soft but retained their firmness for stability, and the table was at a comfortable height to place hands on it, teacups, and papers to write. It looked like a typical courtroom of imperial houses in samurai fantasies. "What did the Silent Nightmare say this time?" Lith asked, holding a cup of tea with both his hands and sipping calmly. 11:12

Yan unfurled a scroll and read, "Greetings to the employer. The AGC is still busy expanding their territories. They have reached the boundaries of Shen Ze and are in the midst of capturing the Calamitous Dune World. After years of hard work, they had pushed the humans to their last territories. What was supposed to be a last war and the end to the human reigns had turned into crushing defeat for the AGC. This has taken the higher ups in surprise and powerful individuals from the main family are soon expected to arrive here. The list of potential guests is attached. Please check before proceeding. Regards, SN."

Lith sipped tea calmly once again. He placed the cup down and looked at Yan. "The Asura God Clan suffered defeat, was it?"

Yan put the scroll down and nodded her head. "Seems to be the case, young master."

"It's quite suspicious, don't you think?" "It definitely is." Yi interjected. "How can such a big clan lose to a puny world's forces like that?"

"I agree too." Yan added. "Our own sect won't take much time to conquer that world if we tried."

The Asura God Clan ranked second while the Qing Mei Sect was right below them. Yi and Yan were well aware of their strengths and wouldn't say things out of thin air.

"Perhaps, some other forces are at play?" Qingshan, sitting around the table, said calmly. "Could be. But the Silent Nightmare did not mention them, which would mean there weren't any at the time of battle." Yan replied. Lith held the teacup again and took a sip. A few thoughts flashed in his mind as the refreshing warm tea flowed down his throat. He placed the cup down and looked at Yan.

"Roll the details of the main family members."

Yan nodded and read the details out loud. After a few minutes, Lith rubbed his chin and said, "Three Supreme Ranks…"

Yan shook her head and said, "It's going to be difficult if we face them at this stage. They will be coming with their personal armies."

"Hm. In that case…"
