Heaven, Earth, Me 5 (GL)

Chapter 915. Mothers Under The Dragon's Protective Wing.

Yasenia hummed as she received a report about the battle situation in the Astral Sky Abyss Sect. "Everything is going well, and they are holding up. How much longer can that formation hold?"

Alaia answered. "With the current rate of energy use, it can hold on for an indeterminate amount of time. They are not doing more damage than the Formation can repair."

The dragoness nodded. "Don't lower your guard. The Demons might have a trump card. They are quite good at summoning spirits of powerful creatures."

Alaia asked, "Young Miss, when do we break this shield? Cecile's presence on the battlefield should've been enough to hint that we are not really trapped, right?"

Yasenia nodded. "Usually, that would be the truth. After all, they saw Cecile arrive in the city with me. Sadly, thinking that we can escape a mid-ranked Transcendence Realm formation as we please is not an easy conclusion to accept or even ponder. It is easier to accept that the Cecile who arrived here was a decoy."

Alaia nodded. "What are the next steps?"

Yasenia commented. "We raze every inland power that opposes us to the ground. We've spent enough time with politics, trying to make allies as fast as possible. Those who have not bent until now probably never will." Yasenia looked at Alaia and ordered. "Tell Doriel to eliminate all sect masters of powers that have opposed us. If she can create a puppet Sect Master in the meantime, that would be best. She can mobilize the available maids as she wants except for personal maids who are defending Evelyn and the rest."

Alaia looked at Yasenia and asked. "What about you, Young Miss? Your personal maids are not here."

Yasenia hummed. "I won't go to the frontlines, and Tatyana is by my side. If you are still worried about us, leave one of the half-step maids with each of us."

Alaia nodded. "I will do that, Young Miss. Our cultivation has increased, so there are even more peak-level maids; sparing two of them for your safety is not detrimental."

The dragoness nodded and waved at them to go.

During the following months, Yasenia's messages to her allies to attack the powers harassing the Astral Sky Abyss Sect quickly flipped the war stalemate.

The Continental Shadow terrain continued to shrink, and Yasenia made sure to isolate parts of their power, swallowing them slowly and pushing them out.

Around three years after the start of the war, Yasenia was getting restless. Not because the war was going awry, everything was slowly going mostly as planned.

Yasenia's territory had grown in the west enough to be considered a large area even among first-rate powers. The number of cities she had assimilated was in the hundreds.

She naturally needed management to govern so many cities. However, this was not a problem since Tatyana had been training several thousand people under her leadership. By spreading them out and using them as heads of cities and governors, every city was easily assimilated.

Moreover, because the benefits of joining the Astral Sky Sect, which had been growing unstoppably during the last years, were so great, some cities readily accepted the new rule.

The new defensive formations, energy density, and many more enhancements in quality of life made the citizens not mind the change that much. There was always a percentage that was against it. But overall, there weren't enough that became problematic.

So, if everything was going so well, why was Yasenia so restless?

Well, one look at her dears, and it was clear.
