Empress' Evolution

Lilith was happy about the generous rewards, however, seeing the prerequisites to complete it, she still felt somewhat cheated.

[Ÿ] Establish an actual Empire in Stronghold 3.

[Ÿ] Have an Army that totals at 5,000 Strong

[Ÿ] Have 10,000 Daemon Citizen

[Ÿ] Conquer/Slaughter the Humans if necessary

'Conquer a Stronghold in Five years? Also, it would be hard enough to find anyone willing to follow us without combat, but creating an Army of 5,000 strong with different daemons would take a while. What the hell was Letza smoking when she thought of this genius idea?'

An army of 5,000 strong may not seem much, but she was a daemon and not a human.

Humans were a single race. All of them live by the same rule, and pretty much have the same leaders.

However, Lilith was a daemon and the army she would be creating was not some monolithic race but a diverse collection of them. He already had eight races of daemons under her command yet, she was already having a hard time dealing with it.

Epic-Tier: 425

Werewolves: 23: Brick Bears: 4: Harpies: 35: Dracas 17: Praeries 247: Ogres 69: Dwarves 20: Persians 10. The total number of her entire Village couldn't even amount to a mere five percent of the needed number of civilians.

This was going to be Hell. Lilith was just about to start complaining about Letza to lighten her mood when Alpha interjected…

[If you're about to speak anything bad regarding the Goddess about this mission, please don't start anything. Like I told you, it's not the Goddess giving you the missions, but the Higher-ups — the Goddess, only gives the appropriate rewards. If anything, you should be thanking her that you can get anything at all.]

'Oh? Then, who's the one giving me missions then?' curiosity got the best of Lilith, well it dissipated her irritation; she was okay with this kind of development.

[Wait, let me ask if I can tell you about this… they said okay. The one giving your missions would be one of the First three Seraphs created by the Goddess…]

"Hmm? Alpha is talking about me, yay." A girl who was no bigger than 4 feet and wore an oversized shirt was jumping up and down as she received a notification on her System.

The message came from someone called Gariel. It was one of its two brothers. The girl jumped up and down as she celebrated, but then…

"Lufeer, settle down! I'm trying to think of a move here." It was a Crane who shouted. The Crance was the size of an ordinary bird back on Earth. It shouted for a reason… it was thinking of a move that could salvage it from the game the one they called Lufeer created.

In front of the Crane, there were seventeen sets of Hexagonal board and all of which had [soliders] placed around it, they were playing what Lufeer called [Celestial War of the Millenia with Gods, Daemons and everything else that you could find in the current Cosmos…] or otherwise known as Divine Chess.

The black Crane was named Thoth, it was one of the most intelligent daemons that became a God-like figure in many worlds. It was slain around a couple thousand years ago and had been invited by Lufeer to become its pet.

It now lived a place where Lufeer ruled, [Hell]

Hell was the place where the most diabolical of beings get send to. It didn't matter where they come from, but they will all end up here.

Though there were rare cases like those born evil and immediately goes to reincarnation. Souls in Hell are tortured in Hell-Fire so they could be cleansed for when they were to be sent out for reincarnation.

The Goddess or the Absolute One didn't want any evil souls to reincarnate as it would create somewhat troubling worlds. Hell was a place where evil people go to become good and be given a second chance... it was kind of like rehab.

The Ruler of this Realm was a recluse Seraph who didn't want anything to do with the God Realms and would often cry the moment it sees the Absolute One, [Lufeer] was her name.

In a modestly sized house that was designed to match the homes of the modern days= houses of Earth before it got connected to the other worlds and be saved from the ancestors of humans, Lufeer lives with its many pet daemons that had God-like presence in the Mortal Plane.

"Lufeer, I have decided to make a move…" Thoth said as it moved one of its pieces, and seeing this, Lufeer nodded her head in acknowledgement.

"Good, good, this is the best move you have done in the past three hundred and fifty years we have been playing."

Thoth's face brightened at her words…the other pets like Bastet, Bau who surrounded the board all smiled for their friend.

However, Lufeer then picked a particular piece and then continued her words, "Sadly, you should have made that move three years ago! HAH!"

Lufeer made one move and checkmated Thoth, and as the Lord of Hell threw her fist in the air to celebrate, all the other pets who went to console Thoth.

"Who wants to go next?" Lufeer said as her pets, who were raring to go lined up to get revenge against this undefeated Seraph.

This was the administrator of the missions and was one of the wisest beings in the Universe just below the Goddess.

[…it's someone called Lufeer, and she rules over Hell. Though in your world, she is called the Devil or something, she's actually really fair in everything she does. She is flawless, though her inability to look directly into the Goddess is weaker than any of the lowest Seraphs.]

And as Lilith whispered, "Oh", she accepted it all and went back to listening to Luna.

After finishing the work she needed, she then waited for Dhampy to wake up and then went out with her to scout the area… she already accepted her mission to conquer this stronghold.
