In the days after the funeral every soldier, mercenary, worrier, blade master, and knight in all of hell were gearing up for war. The nine divine and the forces were being organized with the rest of hells military, the fallen were running recon while mobilizing their own forces, heaven was in an uproar over the death of the arch angel milo who had attended the meeting now know by all as the half blood massacre.
As the half bloods gathered their forces they watched from afar in wait for the demons to fully mobilize the idea was let them retaliate before the queen crushes them like the weak dogs they are.
"What is the state of their army's?" The queen asked her Generals
"Our reports say they've rallied all of hell to their side we can expect an attack soon, the angels have fully readied their forces but await the demons" the general replied
"And the fallen?" The queen asked as the Generals looked to each other
"Your highness have yet to discover their location but we assume they'll back the demons as well" the general replied
"So you don't know" the queen said
"I'm sorry your highness they've proven difficult to track" the general replied
"So you've failed me" the queen said
"No your highness I simply need mor-" in seconds the general was face down on the floor dead the other Generals shuttered
"Any more failures to report" the queen demanded
"N-no your highness n-nothing more" the others said in fear
"Good" the queen replied
"It's finally time your highness finally our revenge can proceed" a female voice said as she stepped out from behind the queens throne
--"My king we've received word they're mobilizing" a soldier said rushing into the throne room where huntross was very prominently displayed atop the kings chair
"Gather my Council and nine divine" huntross commanded
"Yes my king it will be done" the soldier replied and rushed off.
A few hours later
In the council chamber"We should rally our troops and hold the borders let the half bloods come to us!" One woman called out as many in the crowd cheered for this option
"No! We should take our forces and crush the half bloods they are weak we are strong!!" One man protests followed by many cheers
"What would be the point if we fight back we risk another war on our hands and hells seem enough wars were still recovering from the last one!" Another woman cried out with cheers following
--
"They've been at it like this for the last two hours the nine are just arguing with the noble families at this point" Selena said as huntross approached her
"What's the council doing about it?" Huntross asked
"They haven't shown themselves yet" Selena replied noting Luna sitting quietly with Caren at her side "so that's where she went" Selena said to herself
--
"They started this war the king said it himself!" One nobleman said and the others grew quiet "the king is who decided we'd wage war against the half bloods for their arrogance and that's what we'll damn well do now our only option is to take our forces and march through the gates and crush them!!" The noble said
The members of the nine looked from one to the other a few nodded in agreement but others refused this
"A frontal assault on the human world would lead to an even bigger war we must do as we've always done we fight on our terms not theirs" Riser Phoenix announced finally speaking "yes our king declared war but he was not saying we would move immediately and just try and destroy them completely that's a sure fire way to be lead into a trap think for a minute people if the king wanted to completely destroy the half bloods wouldn't he have ordered a march on the human world already!" Riser said to many people's discontent he was right and they knew it
Just them the council entered the room and took their seats as did huntross followed by the nine divine.
"Would anyone like to guess why I've summoned you all here" huntross asked
"To discuss the war your majesty?" One noble replied
"Close but no" huntross replied
"To discuss tactics to use against the half bloods?" Another noble said
"No not today" huntross replied
"To discuss the growing tension between hells nobles and the nine divine" Riser said
"Fifth divine general Riser Phoenix stand" huntross said
"As command my lord" he said standing
"
Riser do you know the truths we hold about the half bloods?" Huntross asked"Yes I believe I do my lord" Riser replied
"Than please do tell" Huntross said
"The first their queen is a pure blood and a very powerful one at that, second their army's span the entire globe, third her so called children are unbelievably powerful some of her guards are even a match for many of the nine divine, and lastly they can very easily trace the opening of each of hells gates" Riser replied
"Very good although you missed one...they possess the ability to create weapons out of pure magical energy something we have not seen since the time of the first kingdom" huntross said "now if any of you believe that it's still a good idea to march blindly into and enemy that we cannot predict is a good option speak now!" Huntross said
No one spoke it was quiet all except a small giggle from the one corner of the room the third divine general Luna.
"And what is it you find funny third divine general Luna crimson" huntross asked with a slight smile
"Well my lord it's funny because before you arrived the couldn't stop arguing about this topic yet now they hold their silence due to the facts they did not know they themselves were blinded by arrogance" Luna replied with a big smile
"Now that you mention it that is rather funny" huntross replied his smile growing larger "it's good that some of the nine understand our situation" he added
"So what would you suggest we do my lord?" Selena asked with a smile twice the size of huntross's
"Well I believe we should issue a quest" huntross replied
"A quest my lord?" Riser asked "what for?" He added
"The details of the quest will be revealed by the council who have already approved it" huntross replied "but in short we're continuing the search for the hidden treasures of The Red Knights of Beacon" huntross added They all just looked on in disbelief.
