Chereads / The Holy Chronicles of Baator / Chapter 353 - Eve of the War

Chapter 353 - Eve of the War

"Attacking the Primary Grade 2 Plane under the control of the God Avatar of the Dawn Emperor, additionally, filled with remains of the Dawn Dynasty, would be a hard, very, very hard thing to do. That place should be fortified to the absolute extreme after the countless eras during which the Dawn Dynasty was inhabiting it."

Stated Zekram as the other nodded while Asura looked thoughtful about the situation.

"Did you hear that rumor?"

Questioned Asura after a short time.

"What rumor?"

Others turned to top him.

"Interesting one... apparently, the Dawn Emperor successfully reincarnated. His reincarnation is right now, barely an Infinity Realm Warlock. Even though his reincarnation is guarded at all times by two Great Step Holy Spirit Warlocks, we can overcome them and kidnap him and use his reincarnation as our ticked to enter the Heavenly Plane and take them out in an ambush."

Stated Asura as others looked at him and thought about his plan.

"That could work... thought the question is, where is he located right now?"

Asked Azrael.

"Mostly in the Canghzi Plane, the thing is... after the Six Imperial Courts revealed themselves, he immediately went to the Canghzi Plane and is currently trying to create his own faction by recruiting other Warlock Factions. Apparently, he managed to get hold of several Warlock Factions that are not inhabiting the Canghzi Plane."

Answered Asura.

"Then we need to wait when he is in one of the weaker planes and prepare a trap. Based on what we know, Dawn Emperor cannot stay too long at the Canghzi Plane, or Six Imperial Courts would attack him. Additionally, with two Tier 11 experts, we can safely extract the Dawn Emperor from whatever place he is, aside from the Canghzi and Heavenly Planes."

Said Sirzechs.

"Now, the next topic is, father decided to make this thing a Holy War against the Warlocks."

The Declaration of the Holy War was a very serious matter.

During the centuries that passed, the religion of the Father of All Devils penetrated through all levels of the Baatorian society, through everything. This created a lot of zealots and fanaticism that believed in the Father of All Devils.

In truth, the Holy War and subsequent crusade was declared only once in the existence of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator. It was around four hundred years ago when they encountered a certain civilization that was really anti-religious, and this heresy against the Church.

Short, long story, the civilization ended slaughter to the last one, and the entire plane where they were living was destroyed.

Usually, Holy War means absolute extermination.

"He wants to eradicate the Canghzi Plane completely and cut down the Warlock Path. If the ancestral place of the warlocks is destroyed, it would be an end for all warlocks. Additionally, if we absorb enormous resources of the Canghzi Plane, it would propel Baator and the Empire on a whole new level of power."

Completed Sirzechs statement from his father.

"Then we will proceed this way."

Nodded other Elders of the Baator.

MC POV

Meanwhile, at the Noscent Plane.

"Father, I passed your intentions to the Elders during the last meeting. All of them agreed to proceed with your plan. They will start preparing for the capture of the reincarnation of the Dawn Emperor and the subsequent invasion of the Heavenly Plane. Additionally, Captain-General Diablo resigned his post in favor of Sairaorg Bael and is currently headed for the Noscent."

Said Sirzrechs's hologram from my Holo-Brain as he woke me up, though I forgave him due to bringing me good news.

I was really happy that his plan would be carried out, and especially that Diablo would be to my personal needs once more.

He may not look like it, but he was the best butler and confidant one could ask for. Unfortunately, he was the only person I could fully trust with the position of the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes.

Of course, the soul of the Dawn Emperor would be Diablo's to eat after we capture him, and his uses would be no more.

"Good. Also, what about the Golem Emperor? Based on what Abrasax brought, there are billions of golems from the Golem Dynasty, do you have any plans for that?"

I questioned my eldest son as he nodded to my delight. Seeing that my teachings to my children were not wasted was good.

"Yes. It is apparent that either other Warlock Dynasties don't know where the pocket dimension with the remains of the Golem Dynasty is remained or... there is something more terrifying up there, so they don't dare to enter. Either way, the best course of action would be for either you or Elder Asura to sneak up there and claim it. It should be no problem for powerful Tier 11 powerhouses such as yourself."

Answered Sirzechs as I nodded.

"Good, my son. For now, focus more on increasing the collective strength of the Empire. Especially the number of our high-end fighters. We need to raise as many Tier 9 and Tier 10 powerhouses as possible before the Holy War starts. All Elders need to reach Tier 11; we are doing this thing alone, without the outside help."

I stated, as Sirztechs instantly understood my meaning.

If we chose to do this with Arcanists, we would need to divide the spoils of war, something that I was not so keen on doing so. Not to mention, with my unique Path and dual cultivation, I believe if I reach the peak of my Class and God Rank, I could handle even someone as strong as Warlock Sovereign.

Based on what Khaziklu Bey told me, Warlock Sovereign was currently severely injured, but he had a few extremely powerful artifacts that even he was wary of. If not for the existence of those weapons, he would have long ago killed the Warlock Sovereign.

"It shall be done, father. Custodians will have priority together with the Khaos Brigade and Sardaukar Forces."

Sirzechs answered as he ended the call.
