Lilith's march lasted for a day. With her was a handful of daemons from the [Army], to Giathe, 10 [Shadow Troop] members.

With them was the meat offering that was to be given to the Werewolves.

They were moving quite fast without any problem, and even Giathe was not a problem because despite being so old, she was far more energetic than an ordinary human teen.

When a Werewolf grows old, the only thing that gets affected would be their healing factor, their strength, and a little bit of their vitality. Other than that, Old Werewolves were still considered powerful.

Lilith was riding atop Killa's shoulder, who had now reached LVL 189. He was the first Ogre that Lilith named, and he was growing stronger by the day. He was now approaching the levels of the Ogre Champions, and with his growing intelligence, Killa was showing promising growth.

However, no matter what his achievement may have been, nothing would top the honor of giving the Priestess a shoulder ride… many Ogres and villagers as a whole envy him for this.

Killa, however, was warry of his position as transportation and warrior as Cerberus' existence threatened to take his place.

Killa turned to the side and observed Cerberus being carried by Luna. Killa had already formed a one-sided rivalry with a LVL 64 pup.

The three-headed pupper didn't really care as it was too busy enjoying being carried around by Luna. It had discovered the pleasure of being moved around; it had become lazy.

Lilith knew the daemon's myth wasn't really surprised as Cerberus was frequently described as sleeping. It was a guardian that only awakened in the heat of a battle, a fierce guardian and even fiercer devourer of sleep.

'It only fights if there is danger around, right?' Cerberus would not initiate a fight unless provoked in any way… it was Guardian Deity, after all.

The March had twenty high-leveled daemons from the Army and ten others from the Shadow Troop led by Eve.

While walking, Cerberus' ears perked up and growled ever so silently. Everyone nearby took note of this and turned to the direction where it roared. They turned to their left.

Lilith quietly used her connection to nature to sense the enemy… her Nature Affinity was something unique that surprised Lilith. It was an element with unlimited potential in any biome, and inside a Forest, it further shows its various usage.

'Free Skill: Share Sense.' Using the concept of mana manipulation and connection with plants, Lilith connected with two trees. She could only feel a slight movement, and after filtering the wind and unnecessary activities, she pinpointed everything nearby.

Two Werewolves.

'Well, at least I know that they are around us… I should really get used to this; innovation is good and all, but it will remain useless if this continues. It could even become a detriment.'

She felt half her mana was expended in that short amount of time; not being used to her self-created Free Skill was something she didn't like. It was more of a disadvantage to her.

Well, what could she do? Even the strongest of Mages relied on the help of their system when casting a spell; there was no such thing as [Free Skill] as the moment they try to do something as absurd as that would only result in them killing themselves.

Only someone like Lilith, who decided to devote her everything to Mana and Magic, could do something as ridiculous as this. The Free Points that only she possessed also proved to be helpful.

Lilith had Luna message Eve through the HNP. Lilith already taughtLuna before all this happened; communication was of utmost importance, and because Luna was basically acting as the command center, Lilith had to teach her a lot of things outside of expertise.

~ Eve, do not go towards the direction we are facing; ensure no one goes there to avoid any aggravation. ~ Luna sent out the message.

Eve was not like Luna, and she didn't really know how to create messages, but she knew how to read. The Shadow Troops under Dhampy could not be seen as stupid as they were an integral part of Lilith's power.

The Shadow Troop was in charge of collecting information, and Dhampy, being who she was, foresaw that Lilith would soon want data from the humans if they were to stay in a human Stronghold.

'The Boss wants the best for everyone, and as her people grow in number, the need for resources grows as well… she will do everything to help the people under her, and she will not be deterred by humans.' Dhampy said to the Shadow Troops while they were being taught human words.

And as Dhampy utilized her draconian training with Lilith's name as bait, the effects were nothing short of phenomenal… from what Lilith knew, the Shadow Troops were now learning cartography.

~ I understand. I shall inform the rest. ~ message back.

Lilith received the message through the system and bobbed her head in confirmation, 'Good.' She said inside her head as she noticed the Shadow Troops retreating.

Lilith tapped Killa's head and whispered to him, "Be prepared but do not leak out any kind of killing intent. We are not here to fight; rather, we are here to make friends."

Killa nodded his head and then signaled the others to keep to themselves, be prepared but do not be aggressive… these soldiers were trained by the Master; none of them would dare disobey an order.

Harsh punishment awaits those who mess things up.

Lilith quietly descended from Killa's shoulders and stood beside the Werewolf Elder, "Would you please, follow me, Granny Giathe? I want you to help us initiate the first contact with the Werewolves."

"It would be my pleasure, Priestess. May I ask if you need me to carry you? It would help us show that you are a friend to the Werewolves." Granny Giathe asked, and after Lilith deliberated over the matter, she agreed as she wanted to show intimacy to the local Werewolves.

Lilith raised both hands as she demanded to be carried. As she was held by Giathe, she failed to notice the Elder sneering at Killa… the Werewolves had managed to carry Lilith… everyone was envious, and Killa felt threatened once more.

'Another rival?' he thought to himself.

Lilith didn't know what was happening as she was too busy thinking of other things.

Giathe had white fur surrounding most of her body. She was already old at 167 years of age, her contour was similar to a human's, but her ears were long and were covered with fur, and as she stopped on her tracks, she called out, "Fellow Werewolves, we are not here to fight, but to speak to you about a matter of importance, might I ask if you can spare me a moment?"

Giathe's voice echoed, and as Cerberus heard, four Werewolves appeared from behind the trees… and the soldiers quickly noticed their fierce red eyes. Drool kept flowing out of their mouths.

"LEAVE!" they shouted!

Killa and the others quickly took note of this and got ready to meet them head-on. Those who had a weapon raised them, and those who didn't took a stance.

Giathe jumped back as quickly as possible as she felt that a fight was about to break out. However, Lilith's brows changed as she noticed something rather strange from the Werewolves.

'Oh… I see.'

Lilith jumped off Giathe's arms, and the Elder shouted. "Priestess!" she was alarmed, and the Ogres charged as they saw this.

They didn't know why the Priestess did such a thing, but they were prepared to protect her from the savages.

The Werewolves prepared to fight at the sight of this when Lilith sighed, "Greater Earth Wall!" casting an active spell, she created a wall that separated her from her soldiers.

Lilith then looked at the baffled Werewolves and asked, "Are you hungry?"

The Werewolves' body twitched upon hearing her question.

"If the scouts are like this, then your village must be in a dire state."

The Werewolves… unknowingly nodded their heads. The Werewolves were a prideful race and to be seen in such a state was nothing short of embarrassing. But these scouts needed to protect their people; thus, they didn't hide behind the covers of the trees.

Lilith's expression turned grave, "I have brought food; lead me there, quickly! We have brought food; we want to help your people."

Lilith showed them a saintly smile as she thought, 'This makes things less complicated…' she found an easy way to conquer this place, and the Werewolves who saw Lilith's smile only saw possible salvation.
