Arya exined how in the initial stages it was just going to be cheap provocations from both sides. Things would be really shy and times like these were the best ones to strike at the smaller ces where not much attention was given.


    What she just said made sense. Lith countered her attack with a shy move, ying as the Asura, and Arya began defending and attacking in response. The two yed multiple rounds, discussing various strategies, and stopped when a new piece of news came out.


    The Evure God n had sent out their best fighter to openly capture one of the Asura''s territories while also destroying the Asuras in their own territory, regaining what previously belonged to them.


    It was as Arya had stated. Things were shy.


    "Good. We''ll go for the smaller territories then."


    Arya moved her hands to caress Lith''s chest and said, "Be careful though. It''s a big n and we don''t know the depth of their forces."


    Moving her hand down, Arya tapped on the toned, shapely abdominal muscles.


    "If I was in their ce, I would be aware of such an event happening, but…"


    She held his sides simr to holding a burger and began jiggling it.


    "…but I also wouldn''t be aware."


    "Hm?" Lith turned to the side, looking at his wife''s perfect face and sea blue eyes.


    "My only rival would be the other n, so keeping that in mind, I wouldn''t focus much on my smaller territories. I am the strongest there is and feared by most. The central alliance won''t resort to the cheap tactics of targeting me, so why should I worry about my own smaller territories when I could focus on the bang?"


    Warfare was more about information and less about actual fighting. The more you know your enemy, the better would be your chances of winning.


    Taking his wife''s advice, Lith turned to Luna and asked, "Ask Qingshan to get me a small group of mercenaries specialized in stealth and strength."


    Luna nodded her head and took out amunication talisman to contact the sect master.


    "You''re personally going there?" Arya asked while massaging Lith''s thighs.


    "Yes."


    Lith didn''t trust others enough to let them handle such important issues. If the n realized there was a third party involved in their war, they would be more alert and things would start crumbling down.


    "Oh, that''s nice. I''ll join you then."


    Lith smiled in response and said, "Alright. Let me wrap up a few things and then we''ll leave."


    The next few hours were spent on studying the territory they were about to invade and the overall administration of the Evure God n.


    The Evure God n was at the number one spot for multiple reasons. The main one was that they had a lot of Legendary Ranks at their disposal. Not to mention, all their main members had an all elemental affinity as well.


    The advantage this gave them over others was immense and made them feared.


    With so many Legendary Ranks in the n, the Evure God n had a proper hierarchy.


    At the very top they had someone called the Three Greats. Little information was known about them, but they were said to be the most powerful and influential. They controlled the Twelve Pirs, who in turn controlled The Seventy-two Legendaries.


    And below the Seventy-two were Supremes, Emperors, Half Emperors and so on.


    The Evure God n''s territory was divided into twelve parts, each governed by one pir. Every territory was massive as they did not epass simplends, but worlds.


    The worlds under one pir ranged anywhere from six to ten. Six was a fixed number as they had six Legendary subordinates each.


    The Asuras had a different ssification. At the top it was a King, followed by his twelve ministers, and each minister had at least one Legendary Rank subordinate. They did not have as many Legendaries as the Evure God n, but were blessed with enough resources to go against them. One minister managed multiple worlds just the Twelve Pirs.


    Midnight Bay was under the 9th Pir''s territory. It was rtively ungovernable as the was mostly water with the natives not being much use either, thereby being easy to capture.


    The ce Lith was about to go now was under the 12th Pir. It was a world at the outer edges of the Evure God n''s territory.


    Lith had some unfinished work and so did Arya. The two worked together to get it done and waited for Luna to tell them the mercenaries were ready.


    …..


    Two dayster.


    "Ah man… I''m so bored…"


    A young boy in ck assassin robes kicked a rock and said. His head wasn''t covered yet, and a small mole could be just above the edge of his upper lip.


    "I''m bored too. Those guys are taking so long to appear…"


    A red-haired young girl in simr assassin robes replied. She was sitting under a tree and reading a book to pass time.


    "I bet we''re ces with some rich entitled fucking brats again." The boy said.


    "Kenny, you must refrain from making thosements during work hours. Stay silent for once like Gileus." The girl said and pointed at a towering figure in heavy armor seated on a boulder, polishing his axe.


    The man''s lips were slightly clenched and pointing downwards while his eyes had a downward arch as well. He looked overwhelmed, jolly, and anxious, all at the same time.


    "Viona… are you seriouslyparing me with Gileus?" Kenny said and walked towards the towering figure.


    He hopped onto the man''s back, then gently knocked on top of his blonde head, all the while the man kept polishing his axe.


    "Look at this. It has no thoughts behind this. He probably doesn''t even know that we are on a mission. All he knows is fighting and sna—"


    "NO! DON''T SAY THE S WORD!" Viona screamed.


    "What?" Kenny was confused. "What''s wrong with snacks?"


    Rumble…


    "Did somebody say snacks?" Gileus''s eyes lit up and he said in a high pitched, almost feminine voice while getting up and causing a small rumbling around them.


    Kenny was thrown off as he got up andy on the ground.


    "Ugh." Viona pped her face. "I told you not to say that."


    "Snacks? Where''s snacks?" Gileus looked around and ran around to find things. He uprooted a giant tree in search of it, but couldn''t find it.


    "There''s no snacks!" Viona screamed.


    "Snacks!?!" Gileus got excited again after hearing the word, not processing what was said before.


    "No snacks!!"


    "Snacks!!?!!"


    "NO. NO. NO FUCKING SNACKS!"


    SMACK!


    Viona was visibly pissed and shot in the air to smack the back of Gileus''s head.


    "Aw man…" Gileus''s jolly face went back to being disappointed and anxious looking. He sat back down on the boulder and continued to polish his axe.


    "Phew…" Viona was tired from this interaction.


    Getting up from the ground, Kenny looked absolutely confused. "This grown man… this grown ass man… he gets so excited over—"


    "Don''t say it! Don''t you dare say it!" Viona shot towards Kenny and held his cor.


    "Okay! Okay! Rx! Damn!" Kenny distanced himself from Viona.


    "So how exactly do we go about saying it?" Kenny asked the important questions.


    "We spell it." Viona calmed down and said nonchntly. She walked close to the tree she was sitting at earlier and took out her book to read.


    "Oh. So we say s-n-a-c-k-s." Kenny said.


    "What are you guys talking about?" Gileus''s attention shifted and asked with a slight smirk.


    Viona looked at the giant with an absolute t expression and said, "Sex."


    "Aw ew. That''s so lewd, you guys…" Gileus got disappointed again and went back to polishing his axe.


    "…" Kenny was baffled. "So he can understand the word but not the spelling?"


    "Yes. His attention span is short." Viona read her book and said. "Words are said without any interval so he catches them quickly. Whenever we have to say something consumption rted, we spell it."


    "Consumption…" Kenny couldn''t understand properly. "Do you mean food rted—"


    "FOOD!?!?!" Gileus''s eyes lit up and he got down from the boulder, shaking the earth once again.


    "NO FOOD!"


    "FOOD!?!"


    "NO FUCKING FOOD, YOU LIL—"


    Smack!


    "Aw man again…" Gileus''s lips turned into a sad smile and his shoulders drooped as he was rejected once again.


    "Ah. Fuck. So tiring!" Viona clutched her head and said.


    Watching the fiasco, Kenny said, "How were you guys even managing him before?"


    "We weren''t." A different shrill voice whispered in Kenny''s voice, making him tremble.


    "Who!?!" Kenny put up his guard.


    A curvydy in simr assassin robes appeared before him. Her face was covered and only her sharp ck eyes could be seen.


    "We simply avoided talking about the things that got him excited." Thedy said.


    "You are?"


    "Cami."


    "I''m Mace."


    "Huh?" Kenny was surprised when he heard another voice.


    A man walked past him and juggled a ring in his hand. "So you are the new addition."


    The ring seemed familiar to Kenny. Frowning, he checked his fingers, only to realize there was no ring on it.


    "That''s my ring."


    "It is. Keep it more secure next time." Mace tossed the ring at Kenny.


    Kenny caught it and frowned. ''Just with what sort of weirdos am I stuck? If this is the team I am with… it''s no wonder the employers in the past sucked so much. Sigh… I''m gonna have to deal with some snobby and disgusting entitled employers again…''
