Lilith now has complete control of the situation. The humans were in a state of panic, and after observing the situation, Lilith knows what it was that's needed to be done.

"Has the damage to the headquarters been calculated?"

[Let's see, the sudden bombing caught them off guard. They are reporting a total of 47 percent in damages. From what I can gather, almost half of the patrolling Hunters were killed, and they are in a state of worry right now.

[I also just received this news; the Persians were annihilated, the Top Hunters all at B+ Rank suddenly made the final push so they can reinforce their headquarters. I fear that keeping the highest Ranked Hunters in that place using the threat of the Persians is no longer viable.

[What do you plan on doing now?]

At that very moment, Lilith was placed in a peculiar position. B+ ranked Hunters, the consist only the 30% of all Hunters. These guys were no pushovers, something a daemon on her village should not mess with, especially when they're still unprepared and untrained. She has yet to reach LVL 50, and those at B+ rank are already at LVL 100 and beyond.

But Lilith simply looked at her minimap that is littered with updates. This current minimap of hers is not something comparable to the previous one. When she evolved to become an Epic-tier, the minimap was also upgraded to accommodate the troubling times.

Section 6 and 8 were currently being overwhelmed by her forces. Only three Hunters remained in Section 6, while Section 8 has two. The sweep of the Sections was going well; they were fast and efficient.

However, the B+ rank Hunters are currently going to attack them. There was a total of 27 B+ Hunters deployed at Section 1, and they were split three-way.

Nine Hunters for Section 8, Nine for Section 6, and another Nine were called back to the headquarters. On the map, only green dots and some red dots exist.

She can now see what others can see in this bare-bones representation of the situation.

The daemons of Lilith Village were dominating the war, and currently, a variable had appeared and is about to screw Lilith up.

If the B+ Ranked Hunters succeed in subjugating her forces, then they'll be able to get a second wind, and despite the numerous preparations, Lilith laid out, all of it would be rendered useless against overwhelming strength.

"This would have been a complete bust if I didn't install the HNP to you. Well, I already have a response to this thing. Alpha, how many more SP do I have in my savings?"

[642, 500, why?]

Lilith smilingly looked at her ceiling and decided that it was time to head out.

[Where the hell are you going? Don't tell me you're going to join in on the war? Nah, uh, you better sit in this room and wait for them. We can't have ourselves dying out there for no reason. Come on, Lilith, I also want to live.]

Alpha was in the right to badmouth Lilith. At this moment, Lilith was risking it to go outside when there's the option of staying in the dwelling.

But Lilith shook her head.

"We don't have direct contact with the Harpies, and I sent all of them in combat, so this is my fault, and the annihilation of humans is impossible if I do nothing. For all we know, the humans might have some sort of railgun and fuck us up. Right now, I need to move and get to Sylva.

"I want to get the harpies to come to me, but I can't do that as it will weaken their forces. The moment a part of them derail, they'll be picked out one by one, they'll be slaughtered in an hour. The path I chose for them is discreet, derail, and all hell will break loose."

This is the most crucial moment of the war. Thus, Lilith called on Dhampy.

"Yes, Boss?" Dhampy's voice was still the same as before. No hint of tiredness could be heard.

"B+ rank Hunters are coming your way. They are humans beyond your group's level. Have everyone retreat as soon as possible. But when you do, pick some of the most capable of daemons you can and head to the edge of Section 6, have the Harpies become your eyes, make sure to hide, and don't get caught. Our forces are far weaker than theirs. We are going with Plan D."

"…I understand, boss."

She then contacted the next one.

"Boss head?"

"Sylva, are there female humans alive?"

"Ahh, yes, we currently have two females and three males left to kill. Why boss head?"

"Some powerful humans are coming your way, spare two human females and then have Chief and the strongest Ogres and Pixies in front to threaten the upcoming humans with the lives of the females. Make them stay and while they are doing so, go to the location of Plan D."

"Plan D? Do you mean to say?"

"Yes, Sylva, it's that one. Now go, tell Chief, and tell them to make sure that, while threatening the humans, make them throw away their weapons, strip down, and force them to promise not to move. When they actually do what they are told, have the Shamans curse them and place them in a Dark Swamp before killing them. If your threats don't work at first, make Chief rip off an arm of one of the females, make sure she doesn't die so the permission to use healing skills, and after killing everyone, tell them to go to the Neutral Area of Section 7 and 6, understood?"

"I do, but are you sure they are going to fall for this. I mean, it is rather stupid for the Hunters to make such moves. For two female lives, are they really willing to risk their lives? Should we not keep some of the men?"

Lilith sighed, "Humans are very vulnerable to female cries and lives; they work better hostages than men. They are from the Seeker Association, those guys act all righteous like a hero so that should work, make sure to spare women, oh wait, I just thought of something, Spare one male, kill that man by ripping his body in half before you threaten the Hunters, that way, we'll be able to scare them shitless some more. After killing the newcomers, kill females too."

"I understand, boss head."

Lilith disconnected with Sylva and then sighed.

'If only I sent some more daemons with higher levels there, I could have used this strategy to finish off most of the B+ Hunters.' She was quite frankly a little disappointed.

With these, preparations are over.

Lilith stepped out of the dwelling and looked at the Workers at her doorsteps. Right now, they are praying to the Goddess Letza. Lilith knew those prayers will do nothing because the Useless Goddess can't intervene in this world.

As the Apostle of the Goddess Letza appeared before them, the Ogres and the others prostrated to her as if that will do any better. Their questions were what you would hear to what a human would ask.

"Priestess, do you think the Warriors are going to return back alive?"

"Are they going to live and return to our side?"

Lilith had seen a lot of war, and the families always ask such things. But those people were humans, not a daemon, but seeing her people act as such, she can tell that they are humane. And considering how they are willing to forgive their enemies and readily accept their past enemies with open arms shows that they have more compassion than humans.

Lilith looked at them and thought, 'It would be best if these kinds of people inhabit this world.' She knows that these daemons are also savages, but at least they do not sneak around doing some shady things fucking up the world in the process.

"Lift your heads. The war against the invasive humans will result in our victory. Our brave warriors will overpower and spill their blood. However, the time calls for me to make my move, but worry not, for the brave warriors and I will not keel over to the enemies. I shall leave the village; I leave its safety under your people!"

As Lilith finished her words, she transformed into a Tribulation Leopard!

"Lightning Feet."

She activated her movement skills, and as she did so, lighting flowed through her body and feet, and as she darted forward, every single time she landed on the ground, a bolt of lightning would lacerate the surrounding.

Her movements were silent, only leaving a pawprint as she weaved through the trees.

Her mana in the Tribulation Leopard form is 4000, and as the Lightning Steps skill costs 500 MP per minute, she will only be granted 8 minutes of enhanced movements, but that should be enough.

And as Lilith moved, the movement of the humans was also present.

She does not know what will happen in Section 8, but in Section 6, she was sure that the hostage situation will work like wonder.

In Section 8, the humans saw nothing other than Skeleton Soldiers who were slaughtered as soon as the humans laid their eyes on them, and in Section 6, magic happened as the B+ Hunters dropped their weapons and stripped down.

And indeed, Lilith was right, and she managed to prove that human females are a much greater shield than a stone or rock.

In this situation, at least.
