Chapter 867: Cautious And Prepared

The smell was the reason for Lith's panic, for it was not merely a foul smell, but a poisonous one at that.

If inhaled, people were bound to die and so far, the smell was yet to reach the fortress or any of the people within it.

Lith could only smell it due to his enhanced senses and after the initial panic, immediately walked over the edge of the watchtower and shouted:

"MILIA, START THE FLAPPERS AND RELEASE THE LAVENDER!"

Lith's shout was loud enough to be heard by everyone in Dushkarbor, including the warrior girl Milia who was currently standing on top of the fortress walls and watching the giants run towards them.

Lith's shout made her tremble as it was a really powerful sound. She immediately ran on the fortress walls in a particular direction that was equipped with artillery.

Lith watched her from above the watchtower and in just a few seconds, saw her reach a group of people standing around wooden artillery.

This artillery wasn't for defense, rather...

"START!" Milia shouted and began pulling a heavy rope towards her.

The other people around her did the same and the artillery that contained a giant windmill began rotating while also turning in the direction of the burning locusts.

A few men dumped buckets of dried purple flowers into a certain spot and immediately, a purple mist appeared out and travelled towards the locusts.

Lith sighed in relief as he watched that while Chonky was in great disbelief and shot a completely shocked look at Lith.

His expression clearly read, 'What in the actual fuck!?'

Chonky had no idea how one could be prepared to such a level. He wondered just what was Lith's brain even made of to have such depths of warfare.

As mentioned before, Lith knew how many varieties of demon there were, hence he was prepared for most of the things.

The past four years weren't just spent fucking around even though it was a world where sex was the norm.

Surprising a mighty Demon King like Chonky was a big deal and Lith was doing it back to back, not giving him even a bit of a break.

In utter astonishment, Chonky kept quiet and looked at what more things were about to happen here.

Lith stared at the demons charging towards the fortress and continued on to guide people.

Meanwhile, back in the Demon Court, the faces of the demon officials were anything but good.

There was a wry scowl on their demonic faces which was a never-before-seen look.

"How...?" A demon in the middle seats couldn't help but say as he along with the rest stared at a pond in the middle of the court.

This pond showed scenes from Dushkarbor's world where the demons had been sent to and no matter where the officials looked at, there was absolute destruction of their people and nothing else.

Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western or Central... The territories mattered not as everywhere the demons were destroyed.

For the first time in eons has something like this happened, shocking the entirety of demon officials to the core.

"Let's not worry. It was just the first wave." Some official in the middle seats commented.

The rest of the people stayed silent and continued to watch.

After the first wave was sent out, they sent the second wave through the many dimension rifts present.

To increase their chances of winning, they sent the third wave of demons right after the second wave, putting a huge stress on this world.

Much to their dismay however, half of the demons from the second wave died in explosions set up right at the spawning places.

The other half died from pre-placed artillery and the third wave demons were killed by the residents of that world themselves.

The demon officials were on the edge of their seats as they saw that and holding onto the armrests really hard.

They just could not believe the reality they were facing as it was truly baffling. Never once, never once had they suffered to such an extent. How could this be possible at this stage? They had prepared so much!

In the upper seats, a handsome tall demon commented in a low voice, "They're prepared and their predictions of the spawn points are not too off the mark. Change the locations and send out magic oriented demons in that place."

The demons turned to look at the King, but finding no rejection, they nodded and went with this new strategy.

In no time, a new wave of demons, this time laced with staffs and magic artifacts, had been sent out for the destruction of that particular world.

Back in Dushkarbor's world, the sky turned further dark and made people feel chills. The temperature dropped down and the people were feeling cold.

Sensitive to all things magic, Lith could sense the change from the demons' side.

He didn't fully know whether their strategy had changed to what he was thinking, but he could roughly guess it and thus, turning to Solina who was sitting near him, he said,

"Instruct to have active hotspots."

Solina nodded her head and got to work while Chonky boi, who was totally taken aback by the whole situation, was licking a lollipop aggressively and looking at Lith, wondering just who was this madman.

When the second and third wave came together, Chonky, just like the first wave, thought that the people were done here. They wouldn't survive this onslaught.

He had reasons to think in such a fashion. Firstly, the people of this world barely had good resources and secondly, they couldn't even feel magic or have any affinity to it.

These were major flaws, but the demons, upon arriving here, found their own ability to perceive magic suppressed. They weren't able to use it much and thus put them at a great disadvantage.

Even though the demons were much stronger than the residents of this world, with their main power which was magic not being with them, they were as good as the rest of the people of this world.

Evey being could only focus on one thing at a time and the second thing wouldn't be as good as the first one. Meaning, if someone had affiliation to magic, they would train hard in that and their physique would be comparatively weaker.

Vice-versa was true as well and hence, the residents of this world were at an advantage as the world naturally brought out magic suppression.

Lith turned to look at the gates of Dushkarbor's fortress and stared at it for a few seconds.

As Solina did her work, he could see a small group of soldiers march outside the gate. In it was a clumsy purple-haired guy who was more focused on the way he walked rather than where he was walking towards.

Lith looked at him with an expressionless face and soon saw the troops get out of the fortress and march towards a certain place nearby.

They were all walking towards a big milestone that Lith himself had placed strategically.

In no time, they reached that place and soon enough, certain fluctuations began occurring near the milestone.

The troop halted and watched the milestone from a distance.

Chonky stared at the milestone's area as well and wondered what new thing was about to pop up. By now, he most certainly believed that Lith did have something planned for everything.

What it was now from the demons and what was the counter to it, that was yet to be seen.

The fluctuations turned into lightning zapping around and with a loud roar, a few beasts appeared out of a dimensional rift.

Then appeared a group of cloaked demons holding a spellbook in their hands along with a staff.

Lith calmly stared at them while Chonky was a bit surprised to see these guys come so early.

The beasts roared once again as they saw the troops on the ground and charged at them. The demon mages began chanting a certain few things and the already chaotic fluctuations around them turned even more violent.

The troops didn't flinch or back away. Instead, they took out their blades and charged at the beasts coming at them in a calm manner.

As the troops entered the milestone's area, their blades glowed with a lustrous shine and then began having a hint of elemental energy flow on them.

Blue, orange, green, purple, and so on colorful elements could be seen on the blades and as it came in contact with the beasts, a wound would be cut open and the beasts would roar in pain.

Beasts being beasts, the damage made them go berserk and out of control. The demon mages lost connection to them and could only just work independently now.

They all flipped the pages of their spell books and after some chants, a magic circle appeared above them and within it appeared more demon creatures equipped with weapons.

Looking at reinforcements, Lith didn't feel anything but Chonky thought to himself with shock, 'The Alpha team!?'
