《Empress' Evolution》35. Skirmish
Advertisement
Lilith created a single plan and layered it a total of six times:
[Bait the enemy], [Keep the skirmishes quick as to not alarm them], [Make them feel complacent], [Keep their advance untouched], [Hold the stronger pawns for later dates], and [Lastly win without spilling any blood].
If the part of wanting to brainwash the Pixies and the Ogres by making herself close to a Saint with overflowing mercy was considered to be another part of the plan, then it could be counted as a seven-part plan. Lilith looked around, as she observed the night sky and she simply sighed.
"It seems like the stagnant phase of this life is about to end."
[What can you do? Fate is pulling you towards the destiny that is meant for you, well sooner or later the fights you will go in is going to be bigger than this world.]
"Don't you mean we're going to fight? Bah, who cares. But really, I would've wanted more time to establish myself as a good person."
[Aren't you doing that now?]
"I'm trying to look as merciful and kind as possible while conquering a Race, how ironic."
Lilith was very well aware that this life was not going to remain with her idling away leveling without a care for the world. This life was not so simple that Lilith would be able to rest easy, this life was meant to be faced with hardships, despite everything else that had happened recently.
"The three camps been destroyed, Priestess."
A shadow appeared by her side, it was Killa reporting the situation to Lilith.
"What's the number of Epic-tier?"
"As you have predicted, they sent all of their five epic-tier Pixies in the mix. Thankfully, Chief-sir managed to locate them faster so no harm was done, we are now prepared to march towards the territory of the Pixies. How do you want us to proceed, Priestess?"

Lilith smiled, she stood up and looked at the moon once again.
"Forward, we move with the strongest of our people. In three days we should reach their so-called kingdom. Killa, from now on you'll be the one to relay my messages to the others, for now, you'll be my ears and mouth to the other groups, understand?"
"Yes, Priestess."
Lilith may be small, but at least she knew that her domination has now begun.
===
Starting from their own territory, the Pixies were being rounded up one by one. There was no such thing as a prison in the world of the daemons, or to the Ogres at least, so Lilith was forced to alter the enemy base.
Creating a set perimeter and then creating stone walls around them, Lilith created a makeshift prison. She did all this without being seen by any of the Pixies.
The rations of the Pixies would not be used by the Ogres as they would be the food for the prisoners of wars. Other than the epic-tiered Pixies which were the Contriving Pixie and the Pixie Guardians who were separated from the rest, the others were together in one area.
Overall, the number of Pixies gathered in their little prison numbered 150. That was half of the whole Ogre Tribe.
The Pixies, unlike the Ogre Tribe, was the kind of daemon who does not have with their fertility. So their number was understandable.
The whole creation process of the prison took three hours, and Lilith left an Ogre Champion and an Ogre Shaman with some LVL 37 Ogres to watch over the Pixies.
'Killa warned the epic-tiered Pixies that we will poison the food of their kin if they make a move so they won't do anything They did surrender to avoid any unnecessary bloodshed so it would be fine.'

But even if the other Pixies staged a rebellion against their guards a total of 50 Ogres who learned basic martial arts from Dhampy would make them wish they were all dead.
The following day, Lilith had the Ogres follow her orders down to a T.
[SECTION 4]
Using Eve to scout the area and then using appropriate means to dispose of their enemies, Lilith began to plan more extensively than she ever did before.
This is war, it may be easy, but it's war nonetheless. Lilith looked around the minimap and thinking what to do.
In front of her was a hundred-kilometer squared territory. Inside that space, there were three armies, each of them numbered at 100 High Pixies each led by a Pixie Guardian,
They were placed horizontally with a five-meter distance between armies. On Lilith's side, there were five normal Epic-tier Ogres and Chief. She had two shamans and four close-quarter combat pawns, the enemies had wings and could fly and they could not. She and a total of 100 LVL 40 Ogres in their ranks.
Overlooking the armies above the trees, Lilith had already wiped on her face.
The enemies they raided before were defeated mostly because it was a surprise attack, and this time, with the march of the Pixie Armies going side by side, if they attack one area, the other would be alarmed.
Despite the number advantage, they were in the enemy territory and they were outnumbered.
It mattered not how strong you are, but with numbers, it's possible to have the situation turned on you.
"They will take flight and that would put us at a disadvantage, death might follow shortly after so attacking them without a plan is reckless. They are marching now and they will reach the clearing that is otherwise known as the Neutral Area soon, hmm, they have to pass through the thicket so..."
Lilith smiled in a devilish manner, she laughed to herself as she looked at Eve and Killa.
"Killa, have everyone move back, Eve, continue stalking the armies. Make sure to not get seen, if you are spotted you will be killed and I do not want you or anyone to die. Also, Killa make sure that Chief will command the others, got it?"
"Yes, Priestess."
The hearts of Eve and Killa felt a certain warmth enveloping them.
Lilith looked at the two leave to execute their given missions.
"This whole war is like a whole trial, this is not even a war but like a skirmish between two gangs. It's not that big, but this fight should serve as a way for the Ogres to acknowledge that their leader is below me....well, this should be fun."
Lilith also retreated soon after.
She couldn't wipe her smile because she knew that after today, she was going to end everything.
And as the Pixie armies entered the thickets, after half an hour, the party finally began.

The yuri/GL Is an extremely slow burn one and the focus is more on the relationship dynamics than romance. =====Author Notes===== This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing. Constructive criticisms are always welcome. I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.
