Bab 414: To Strike Back
Seeing that the Chthonians were luring the Hivemind to the Ancient Eternal Star Region was not that surprising to the other two Tier 12 powerhouses and Ancestors of their respective species.
They both long ago guessed that somebody set it up, and it wasn't that hard to pinpoint the mastermind because there were only so many Tier 12 powerhouses in the Ancient Eternal Star Region or similarly skilled heaven-defying Tier 11s.
When counted in motivation and gains, only one person was capable of organizing this entire thing, and that was the Father of All Devils and the supreme ruler of the Baator, Ancestor of the Chthonian Empire, Zeoticus Gremory-Lucifer.
The problem was that there were rumors of the Father of All Devils reaching Tier 12, because there were not many of them in the Astral Boundary; news like this would always spread really fast.
It was clear that the power of the Father of All Devils was absolutely frightening even when he was Tier 11, and by their calculations, he should have the destructive prowess of some weaker newly advanenced Tier 12.
Now that he had actually reached their level, neither one of them wanted to test their luck. Even though the three Ancestors were very arrogant and confident in their power, there was one thing they were more... survivors.
They clung to their life like koalas to a tree.
"Not to mention, he is a very close ally with the Arcane Ancestor... how are the chances that they would too jump into the fray?"
Questioned the Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Race as he suddenly opened two of his eyes while keeping his third eye on his forehead closed.
"It is highly possible, Ashbourne... that is why we need to act as one and defeat the Chthonains as fast as possible before they start getting fortified here and worse, calling their allies here."
Said the Ancestor of the Taesci Race, as only Vhar agreed with him, while the Ashbourne who asked the question still seemed unconvinced.
"Weissmann has been fence sitter for past Eras; I seriously doubt he would actively seek war."
Stated Ashbourne shortly after, because indeed Arcane Ancestor Weissmann has been the perfect epitome of the fence sitter for the past Eras.
Compared to their races, the Baatorians were extremely militaristic, and their ability to wage war was unparalleled; if they were given the opportunity to fortify themselves properly, it would be very hard to drive them out.
Even though their entire expedition and attack lasted only something around a week, they already controlled one Primary Grade 2 Plane, which was already being turned into an impregnable fortress as they were speaking right now.
This alone spoke about their nature as species that mastered the art of war, and contrary to many, their commanders were always people who were best at the military strategies and tactics, not minding their personal power.
It wasn't uncommon to see even Tier 8 Officers or even lower giving orders to Tier 9 or even Tier 10s, something which would be absolutely unacceptable in most if not all species and factions because the personal strength was on the top.
"We need to act right now... they already stationed some weapon capable of killing the Tier 12 entities over that plane, and their progress in fortifying the plane is astounding, something I have never seen before."
Stated the Taesci Ancestor Sirren, as the other two agreed with him and, in the end, decided to ally once more, just this time, they won't be fighting the Void Insect Swarm and the Hivemind but the legions of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.
"And how are we going to deal with their Navy? Even though my race is technology extremely advanced, compared to the level of the Chthonians, our ships are severely lacking, not to mention, even if we are outnumbering the Chthonians 3 to 1, it might not be enough."
Said the Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Race Ashbourne.
The technology, especially the firepower of the Voidships of the Chthonian Empire, was several generations ahead even of such technological races such as the Three-Eyed Race, which was the most technologically advanced in the entire Astral Boundary.
But contrary to the Chthonian Empire's ships, they were smaller and didn't have such frightening firepower.
Not talking about the defensive ability, as the ships of the Chthonian Empire could easily traverse the Void itself, while only the bigger and stronger ships of the Three-Eyed Race could boast of the same feat.
"If we use our client races, we can use them as cannon fodder to take most of the damages and losses for us..."
Stated the Ancestor of the Venan Race Vhar; because this was in their option, the perfect usage of the vassals and other Ancestors wholly agreed with his statement.
"We need to quickly go and organize the counter-attack on the forces of the Chthonian Empire. We have approximately three days at max."
Stated the Taesciu Ancestor Sirren, as the other two agreed with him.
After they finished the discussion about their next advances, two Ancestors of the Venan Race and Three-Eyed Race left the Serpent Plane to prepare things on their own end.
