The World Serpent

In the Southern Outskirts, Occidental Side. The Inquisitors have completed constructing their camp and were currently resting within the spoken camp. At the center of the camp was the main tent for the Governor Inquisitors. It was the tent where the strategies and the future plans of the Inquisitors in the southern outskirts would get discussed. 

"This is an overwhelming victory. No casualties, No severe injuries, and No invasion forces were left alive. The Inquisitors in the Southern Outskirts had done a good job at defending it." Luna couldn't help but smile upon reading the reports of Southern Outskirts. She already handled the Northern Outskirts and the Western Outskirts. Giving them numerous orders before leaving for the Southern Outskirts. 

Though, the results of the Southern Outskirts made it seem that she wasn't needed. Well, of course, the next battle would be bloodier than the lost one. The enemy might have been discussing plans about the Inquisitors and was thinking about their future strategies. 

"There is no need for your praise, Lord Luna. Thanks to the reinforcements sent from Lord Capita. The Southern Outskirts managed to hold on without any casualties. But, I recommend reading the report about our enemies. It might give you enough information to guess their strength." An Inquisitor lightly bowed with a slight smile on her face. 

She was the leader of the team handling the Southern Outskirts. It took a lot of brainpower to make plans that won't give the team casualties. Not only that, she needed to command them every second so that the defensive line of the Southern Outskirts wouldn't get breached. But despite the things she had done, it seems that she didn't do it for fame. 

"I understand... Even then, I'm proud to have someone like you leading the Inquisitors. You managed to hold them off despite their numbers being a hundred times more than expected. Such a feat shouldn't get forgotten, and I'm sure that Master would have the same thoughts." Luna didn't want the talented Inquisitor to get forgotten. If she had time, she would report it to her Master. 

Capita and Marx nodded with pride on their faces while the remaining Inquisitors also nodded in agreement. There were about 15 Inquisitors within the main tent, and that included the three Governor Inquisitors. All of them were leaders of their own, but they were still surprised that the Inquisitor of the Southern Outskirt managed to hold on in such a chaotic battlefield. 

"Anyway, May I ask your name?" Luna wanted to know the identity of the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor looked at Luna and answered with a calm voice. "My name is Alice. I'm an Inquisitor that could control blood." As she introduced herself and her ability, Luna gazed at her with her purple amethyst eyes and said with a serene voice. 

"I see... So your name is Alice. That's a good name. And your ability is blood control... That is an interesting ability." Luna could see potential emanating from Alice. If Alice could become stronger, she could become a powerhouse. Well, that was, of course, after the Great War. 

Luna shook her head and decided to think about the report. She then started reading the report about the enemies and raised an eyebrow. The more she reads about the enemies, the more she gets surprised by Alice. The enemies were large in numbers, their quantity seemed vast, and yet their quality was better than the Great Army of the Plains. 

Tanks, Plains, Artilleries, Bombs, and Guns. Along with Airships, fearless Soldiers, and Advance Surveillance Systems. The enemy's strength wasn't to be underestimated. Such an enemy came from the Arcanum Region, and they appeared to be undead. Meaning, they were the Undead Legion of the Undead Nation of Mors. 

From the information of the enemies, Luna was sure that they needed to destroy them so that there won't be any problems in the Occidental Region. How they made it in the Southern Outskirts was unknown as they would have to pass to Giant Nations of the Great Forest. Resulting in a simple conclusion known as teleportation.

"It appears that our enemies aren't to be underestimated. They might gain reinforcements, and their numbers might get bigger than before. We need to cut off their escape route, or we might even make use of it to begin invading the Arcanum Region." Luna had numerous thoughts passing through her mind.

She understood that she needed to call for her Master's and ask for her opinion about the teleportation of the Arcanum Region Forces within the Southern Outskirts. It might even be a portal that might help them influence the Arcanum Region. 

"I'll make a call. Also, order the Inquisitors to defend the Defensive Lines of the Southern Outskirts. I have a feeling that the enemy might attack us at this moment. Prepare yourselves, and don't let your guard down. Don't let a single victory get over your heads, and be sure to not forget the teachings of Teacher Ego." Luna gave her orders with a serious voice. 

"UNDERSTOOD!!!" The Inquisitors nodded and saluted at the same time. They then exited the main camp, and the only ones left were Alice and the Three Governor Inquisitors. Luna was having a call. It took a while, but Persia and Luna finally started talking to each other on the phone. 

Luna reported the situation of the Southern Outskirts and the interference of the Undead Legion of the Arcanum Region. She also reported their numbers and their power. She also gave her idea about a possible teleportation device back to the Arcanum Region and that they could use it for themselves. But upon saying her idea, She encountered a chuckle from her Master. 

Persia's last words towards Luna were simple.

"There is no need to capture the teleportation device or portal. I got something better. If you want revenge towards the Arcanum Region for their interference, Make yourselves ready. I will send you to the Arcanum Region to cause chaos." Such were her last words before leaving the call. 

"It appears that Master already has a plan. As expected, the only thing we need to do is focus on the Great War. Master would handle anyone that dares to interfere with the matters of the Occidental Region." Luna said with a soothing voice. Capita and Marx nodded in understanding as they left the main tent to help the Inquisitors in the defensive line. 

"Also, Alice. After the Great War, Master would like to personally meet you. So ready yourself." Luna smirked as she left the main tent as she wanted to command the Inquisitors on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Alice was frozen in place after hearing Luna's words. She was about to meet her Master, the Demon Lord of Azathoth.

She was kind of excited while also being nervous. But even with her contradicting emotions, Alice understood that she needed to follow her orders and protect the defensive lines. She smiled as she was curious about the future that comes after. Though, for now, she would have to help her Sisters on the battlefield.

In the Fortress Bastion of Azathoth, A beautiful young lady was sitting on the throne. She was Persia, the World Serpent. Luna called her about the situation of the Southern Outskirts and the interference of an unwanted army. She was thinking about the problem and was finding ways to fix it. She wouldn't be able to stop the Arcanum Region from teleporting everywhere, but she could always be their obstacle when traversing through the Occidental Region.

"I never expected there to be bastards of the Arcanum Region trying to invade my lands. What do you think, Ego?" Persia was curious about Ego's opinion about the matter. Ego thought about it and gathered information about the report given by Luna. It took time, but Ego finally reached an answer.

"It seems that they also have a connection on why the Great War was focused on the invasion of the Great Forest. Other than the Gods, it seems that the Arcanum Region also had their hand about it. I don't know how long they have been planning about it. But there is one thing clear, I'm sure Sister would bash their heads and make their plan burn into flames along with their ashes."

Ego said with a cold and monotone voice. Persia couldn't help but smirk after hearing the words of Ego. Ego knew her well. Anyone that tries to mess with her will not end up dead without their cries echoing through her ears. 

'"Ho ho ho, As expected. You know me well. Anyway, I heard that some Supreme Commanders of the Great Plains are planning to leave the Great War and retreat. Since I made my promise to devour anyone that tries to retreat. I guess it's time for me to make a move." 

The termination of the retreating Supreme Commanders was about to happen. Persia would devour them all and continue to grow and become stronger. The Great War was a grand buffet for Persia. It was the event that didn't harm her or was disadvantageous for her. To be honest, the more enemies she had, the better.

Meanwhile, back to the Southern Outskirts in the borders between the Occidental Region and the Endless Grasslands, the sound of tracks echoed as the Undead Legion marched through the battlefield. The Heavy Military Vehicles were the spearhead while the Logistics and the Light Military Vehicles were inside the spearhead.. It was a simple strategy about piercing through the defense lines of a strong and hard enemy.
