After Collecting all his scrolls, Maps, and a box made out of Ash wood, engraved with the Vedic mantras praising the Devata, Arjun left his Tent and walked towards the Tent of Artemis, Greeting closer he could make out the Number of people inside the tent, He went and stood in front of the guards and one of them rushed inside only to come back again in seconds and let Arjun in. It is indeed a very rare occasion that a man enters the tent of Artemis and Unlike other times these time there were no looks of disgust by the female warriors inside rather they had an air of confidence and authority, which made them feel powerful but not imposing, This change in the Aura made Arjun become little less uncomfortable but he knew this aura of confidence won't be there for much longer. He went straight up to Artemis and bowed down to her, on seeing her approval he stood at the empty place around the table between Reyna and Thalia.
"So, Arjun whose ass needed whooping haa "! Thalia asked with a mischievous glint
" I hardly doubt you can woop their ass but yes what we are up against is one of the two major operation bases of Asuras " Arjun replied
" You doubt my caliber, Arjun, You need a rematch ? " Thalia challenged.
" Ohh ! no Daughter of Thunder God, I had the opportunity to experience your might firsthand, But it's unwise to calculate your enemy's strength without knowing their strengths and weakness " Arjun replied politely.
" True Indeed, Artemis commented, which seemed to calm down Thalia's aggression.
"So what are Asuras ? Reyna asked .
"They are God's ! Arjuna answered flatly ".
What? Thalia asked You said we have to fight God?
"Well They are Asuras because we don't consider them Devas, There is a slight difference between whom we follow and who they are. Asuras and Devas are Brothers only sons of the same father, But some consider them as God and some don't and they differ by the seat of power and rule. Like the rule of Asuras was dark, Most people didn't like it, whereas the rule of Devas is considerably way better than theirs, and Asuras are trying to take back that power and have managed to do so a number of times. "
"God's we have fought before but none can match God's level, like yes we have Artemis on our side but", Reyna passed her concern
"No there is not a horde of Asuras there, they are limited most of them are in the mainland, According to my Information, we have Only  Three of them here and those are Mahisasura, Banasura, and Matsarasura, Other than that we have at least 30 Rakshas, 15 Daitya and an army of 500 Danavs plus an army of 100000 of Manusyasura which are Humans with the power of Asura. "
"OK That's a Big army how are we supposed to win in front of an army that big ", Thalia asked
"I am not looking for complete annihilation I know it's impossible to fight such a big army with only a handful of us, My objective is to  annihilate the three Asuras or Contain them and break their infrastructure injuring as many as possible to stop their production of Manushyasura and Delay their progress so they cannot reach to help the mainland forces " Arjun replied
"And What do we know about this Asuras we are trying to assassinate "? One of the Hunter with Blond hair and Green eyes asked
" First we cannot plan an Assassination on these Asuras they will sense you coming in no time, so it's useless to even think of Assassination, We have to take them out in face-to-face battle only. " Arjuna replied
" So what do we know about them, " Artemis asked
" Well First is Mahisasura, he is the Head of the Base here, He reigned on the planet thousands of years ago and had defeated Devas during his time, He is God-level powerful no doubt any game to trick and treachery he is a master of it, Any weapon, He knows them well, He is a ferocious warrior who ones commanded the most powerful Demon army. But He was killed by a Woman only. Because of his Boon from the Ishwara, I or any other form of creature cannot kill him only a Woman can and He in his times have tortured, Beaten, Raped Thousands of Woman". This seems to ignite a fire in the eyes of Artemis and other hunters they were one word away to kill him on sight,
" Killing him would be fun than" Artemis replied with silver light dancing in her eyes
"For you Guys, I am sure it will be " Arjun replied
" Next is Banasura, He was too a demon king, He has a Thousand hands and might shaked the heaven, My East Dev Lord Shiva is the protector of his City and he is a great devotee of Lord Shiva, He was spared by Lord Krishna on the battlefield due to a promise, He is the lineage of Bali himself and that says he is well versed in Maya i.e Illusion "
" That seems tricky like he  seemed to be favored by your own god " Reyna replied
" Yes he is but the Ishwaras won't participate in this war so we need not worry about their presence or absence, the planet due to human activities is too weak to sustain a quarter of the energy in its full form " Arjuna replied
Who is the Third one? Thalia asked
Matsarasura was one killed by lord Vakratunda an Avtaar of Lord Ganesha, Matsasura is the literal embodiment of jealousy which means he has severe psychological power over his enemy, people have known to kill themselves when in front of him, or kill their own Comrades, He need not be very good in the weapon but to reach the level of weapon fighting you need to first surpass his psychological warfare and that's near impossible" Arjun replied.
So in short they are no enemy to fool around, We will be killed the instant we let lose our guards, Thalia concluded.
"Yes, Other than them we have 30 Rakshas now each rakshas maybe not be as powerful as Asuras but their powers are beyond the average power of demigods, Each Danavas match each Rudra Sainik on a power scale and the Manusyasuras they are one give mind, ruthless and brutal foot Soldiers who follow their orders."
" So what is your plan, Arjun "?
Artemis asked.
According to my information, the base is operated on two Floors each 10 times the size of a football field,
The lower floor contains the Production place of Manushyasuras and their battalion is stationed there waiting for orders, This floor is guarded by Danavas, the upper floor and the ground floor are liked by two huge staircases guarded by Daityas, and the upper quarters place for the Three big Asuras is guarded by the 30 Rakshas itself.
We can choke the lower level and the staircase then we will have a fighting chance when we enter the first floor, we will have 33 people to fight then, Three Asuras and 30 Rakshas. But if we only choke the ground floor then 15 Daityas will come rushing in, But choking won't be easy we need to eliminate the Danavas first and for that we need stealth, and we need to lock the Manushyasuras in the basement and destroy them so that during the fight the Asuras don't call on their huge ass army.
Sounds like a plan, but how do we do that, and when do we do that? Reyna asked
Tomorrow because, it's Bhootpurmima tomorrow, the Danavas will be in a mood of enjoyment we would have the element of surprise on our side.
