Chapter 160 The Demon Conquest (3)
Some time later, at the commander tent of the 5th Prince of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe Kairon.
"My Prince, I bring you the report of the situation."
Currently, the elderly butler of Prince Kairon was presenting him the report as Prince Kairon was indulging in alcohol and his concubines in his tent. Because he was already a Limit Gold-Tier who had attained Mastery and soon would become Legendary, he couldn't participate in the battle if not someone of the same level as him appeared on the battlefield.
Thus he was spending time in his luxurious tens while he gave orders to be carried out, and afterward, he turned his attention to more material pleasures; clearly, in his head, they had already won without any resistance, as the humans were for sure too weak to resist the might of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe and the demons as a whole.
After giving him a nod, the elderly butler proceeded to speak because he was the only person whom the Prince communicated with, at least on some level. When it came to the generals who were leading the armies, he only barked orders at them, while he executed a few who dared to say that his plan was not the most suitable for the current situation.
"Approximately 60% of the army have been destroyed, and 10 Gold-Tier Professionals have been killed together with more than 312 Silver-Tier Professionals are dead as well. The number of deceased Bronze-Tier Professionals is still being calculated, but the initial estimates are above at least 3,000 at best."
Reported the elderly butler, as the 5th Prince Kairon dropped the glass of some alcohol he was drinking because the numbers were too high, as he face changed between pale as a ghost and a mixture of rage and despair. Right now, he was undergoing pretty strong shock because this wasn't going according to the scenario he was being told...
"How could those barbarians inflict such high losses on us?"
Screamed the 5th Prince Kairon in rage because he wouldn't ever dream that his army would be partially destroyed because the losses were too high. The worst he thought it could get would be maximally 10%, and even that was overstretched.
"As reported, Your Highness, the humans got support from the Avalon Kingdom and Avalonian imported tons of military equipment and countless artillery batteries and other types of magetech guns. If you have read through the report that were delivered to you, Your Highness, you would have known."
Reported the elderly butler with a sigh because Prince Kairon chose to ignore all of the warnings and reports and ordered the attack to be carried out anyways. It didn't really matter that they won, but in the process, Prince Kairon crippled several of the sub-factions that came from the Lower Worlds.
That was very problematic.
"Come on, Kairon... you will be taken back to home, where Patriarch will give his judgment... you have caused us the loss of more than 5 Lower Worlds with this stunt."
Stated the voice elderly demon who teleported to the place. He was a member of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, but it was clear, just based on his aura, which was already on at least Level 80, that he was one of the Elders of the Tribe.
The appearance of the Elder of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe was very bad because it meant only one thing... that not only his status as Prince was forfeited but possibly even his very own life.
"But Eld..."
Prince Kairon didn't get to finish his words as an immeasurable force slammed into him and pushed him to his knees. The power that erupted from the Elder of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe was absolutely overwhelming and terrifying, as it showed the might of the Supreme Stage Legendary Professionals of their Tribe.
"Shut up; the situation is far more grave than your pathetic hedonistic mind you even comprehend. Especially the situation with the Moon Demons and Star Demons, you fool! Stupid trash, you didn't even realize that you were used like a pawn!"
It was clear that the Elder of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe was enraged and if it was up to him, he would have already killed him and be done with it. Unfortunately, it was not possible, and some formal judgment needed to be passed.
The tension between the three tribes began technically after Kairon ordered the representatives of the Moon Demon Tribe and Star Demon Tribe on the 8th Floor to participate in the attack on the Central Area. At the same time, they rejected and it quickly led to a fight between them, which resulted in worsening the situation even more than it already was.
Just by the fact that the Elder of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe descended down was a breach of the Covenant, something that would bring trouble to the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe because the Covenant was adhered to even by all Transcendents for a very simple and selfish reason.
If Legendaries are allowed to meddle in affairs solely between mortals, than, sooner or later, nothing would remain from the material plane of the Cosmos. And the material plane was of critical importance for the majority of the Transcendental Factions.
Be it mighty Pantheons who were worshipped as Gods by the mortals, or the Daemons and Devils, who were using the mortals as their pawns and obtaining their souls, the Evil Gods who fed on the negative emotions or the Immortals from whom the mortals were, talent pool to increase their own numbers.
Because if the Covenant was of the utmost importance, the Elder of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe couldn't leave the command to Prince Kairon here any second longer because he would cause even more damage, and at least he could partially justify his interference in this matter.
After that, the Elder took the 5th Prince Kairon and teleported out of the 8th Floor of the Tower as the damage was done, and now it was time to repair at least what could be repaired.
***
Unknown Floor of the Tower, Headquarters of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, Palace of the Golden Demons.
After the Elder of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe took the 5th Prince Kairon out of the 8th Floor of the Tower, he appeared on the floor, which was under the control of the Demon Council, where each of the strongest Demon Tribes had some territory.
They were currently in the territory of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, as the Elder dragged the 5th Prince behind him, who was kicking, screaming, shouting and sometimes begging for mercy because he was very well aware of what kind of fate awaited him if he were to face the judgment of his father.
The Elder dragged the screaming 5th Prince Kairon to the Palace of the Golden Demons, which was an enormous palace that served as the headquarters of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, as he strode the long empty corridors until he reached something akin to a Throne Room where the Patriarch together with several Elders were already waiting for him.
He dropped the 5th Prince Kairon in the middle of the room as he then took a seat among the other Elders of the Tribe. Meanwhile, all of this was happening; the Patriarch of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, Angol looked at one of his sons as he was deciding the punishment he would give him until he came to a conclusion.
"For failing to carry out the orders of the Patriarch of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, causing the indirect loss of several Lower Worlds, partial decimation of the Expeditionary Army for nothing, and instigating the conflict between the Star Demon Tribe and Moon Demon Tribe against the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe, the 5th Prince Kairon is to be stripped of all of his titles and privileges and is exiled to the Demon Realm till the end of his days, as he shall be a station at one of the forts of the Demon Realm."
When Patriarch Angol passed his judgment, most of the Elders were surprised while the Prince or former Prince Kairon grew pale as paper. The Elders were anticipating that the 5th Prince would be executed, by this punishment was far worse than the execution because it was for sure that the former Prince Kairon would be caught in the war of Angels and Demons.
And for sure, he would be captured by the Angels, and death at their hands was far worse and cruel than anything that the Demons could give him. Before the former Prince could say anything, a portal appeared below him, as he fell into the Dimensional Portal and disappeared from the Tower entirely and was teleported to the Demon Realm.
"What is the state in the Lower Worlds that right now completely lost their armies due to that idiot?"
Asked Patriarch Angol one of the Elders responsible for managing the Lower Worlds under the influence of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe.
"2 of the Lower Worlds are better on that because there the Demons are dominant species and we could supply them with something within a short time, but the remaining three are not so. The situation in them is rather precarious because the Demon Lords are waging war on humans, and the second the humans realize that the Demon Lords have lost their armies, they will strike. Unfortunately, Patriarch, it is very possible that the war would erupt any second in those five worlds because the Avalonians have for sure already passed this information to them as we speak right now."
Reported the Elder, as all of the present knew that the 5 Lower Worlds, which were greatly weakened by this, were essentially lost. Mainly because the Avalonians would pass the information about this as fast as possible, and they wouldn't have enough time to put together proper armies and send them to the 5 Lower Worlds within a few hours.
While unaware of the true state, it was exactly like they were predicted, and as the Elders of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe were having a meeting with their Patriarch, the human armies and other species started marching on the demons as soon as the Avalonians spread the news about the demise of the forces of Demon Lords of their respective worlds.
Meaning that the 5 Lower Worlds were essentially lost, even before the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe could do something. This was another hit to their pride, not to mention they were all very well aware that the coalition of the Star Demon Tribe and Moon Demon Tribe would use this against them to gather more powerbase.
While the 5 Lower Worlds may seem like nothing, for the demon population, it was a significant number of demons, and many new Legendaries could be born out of these worlds together with countless warriors and battle demons, so the loss was very high.
"Immediately send someone to extract the Demon Lords; at least save something, so the loss isn't that big."
Ordered the Patriarch of the Tribe because the Demon Lords were crucial for the Demonkin on the battlefield, as they were Demons who had undergone specific mutation which allowed them to control and command other Demons.
All of the Patriarchs and even the majority of the Elders of all Demon Tribes were Demon Lords. If they lost the Demon Lords together with the Lower Worlds, it would be even worse because it meant that they lost five people who were guaranteed to reach the Legendary Level, as each Demon Lord could reach at least the Intermediate Stage Legendary Level.
"My Prince, I bring you the report of the situation."
Currently, the elderly butler of Prince Kairon was presenting him the report as Prince Kairon was indulging in alcohol and his concubines in his tent. Because he was already a Limit Gold-Tier who had attained Mastery and soon would become Legendary, he couldn't participate in the battle if not someone of the same level as him appeared on the battlefield.
