RISE OF EROS

Both sides were preparing for what seemed like the war of the millennium, while Andrew and his companions were finalizing details to carry out the expansion that Andrew had proposed.

Although Andrew wanted to expand, he was not stupid enough to believe that he could go to every country he wanted and establish a Heavenly Palace. He needed to make certain plans, in particular, choose which country to go to, evaluate the environment so that it is appropriate for his business, and finally get the money.

The last thing was actually the most important because there was no point in choosing a suitable country if you don't have the money to carry out your business, for this reason, Candice needed to spread herself first.

Although it sounds strange, it really wasn't. Although Andrew was dedicated to business, everything was focused on the sex industry, so he was not suitable to make money in large amounts, at least not for now with the limitations that he has.

For this reason, he thought that Candice could expand her business in the Dunnas kingdom with Victoria's help. While Victoria was enchanted by Andrew's message, she was by no means his slave, but it wasn't difficult for her to help Candice carve out a space for herself in the food marketing industry.

This was possible, because Andrew promised her special treatment if she helped Candice, and most importantly, Victoria was not in the food marketing industry, so she had no conflicts of interest in helping Candice.

The plan was simple. Candice would connect with the buyers of the kingdom of Dunnas to expand her business, with the help of Victoria, and with the profits obtained, Andrew would expand his Heavenly Palace in another country.

Previously, Andrew was reluctant to use Candice's money for his own benefit, but being in the situation they were in with the abyssals breathing down their necks, Andrew had to make some concessions and since Candice didn't care, everything happened quickly.

Candice helped by Carolina, immediately contacted Victoria and quickly began working. Victoria only had to introduce them to her contacts, after that, it depended on Candice and she did not disappoint.

In a few days, Candice and Carolina had closed several deals for considerable amounts of money with the contacts that Victoria had introduced them to. Victoria was even more surprised than Andrew with this matter, as she did not expect Andrew's wives to be so capable.

Victoria even became concerned about this situation, because although she was not in the food marketing industry, she also did not know if these women would try to interfere in her industry, so she had to make plans.

These actions by Victoria were irrelevant since Candice and Carolina did not plan to interfere in the industry in which Victoria operates. First, because it was she who introduced them to contacts to start their business and they are women who would not betray the trust granted.

The second reason was because Andrew had told them not to do it. Andrew's reason was the same as Candice and Carolina, that is, he did not want to harm Victoria when she had helped them, although it may sound naive, Andrew was this kind of man.

The point is that Candice and Carolina's business in the kingdom of Dunnas expanded rapidly and in a short time, they had raised enough money to march to a new country and start their expansion plan.

Obviously, while Candice and Carolina were doing their business, a lot had happened on the continent. The meeting between the world leaders was held and the topic of how to deal with the abysmals was discussed.

The details of the meeting were not made public, only the kings and emperors who participated in the meeting, as well as those closest to them, knew what had been discussed, but everyone on the continent found out that it had been agreed to create a joint army to attack the abysmals.

Honestly, it was the most rational decision. The abysmals had not left the lost continent yet, and that's because they had not recovered their strength and the leaders of the continent would not give them the time to do so, so they decided to create a joint army and destroy the abysmals before they recovered.

One would have to be an idiot not to notice this point and not attack, so everyone knew that the decision of a joint army was expected, however, the meeting lasted 3 days and everyone was curious to know what else had been discussed.

In the history of this continent, the times in which all the leaders of the countries of the continent met can be counted on the fingers of one hand and this continent has about 10,000 years of history.

Just with this one could understand the threat that the abysmals were. Even so, the intelligent ones did not believe that the world leaders would meet for 3 full days and the only decision they came to was to form a joint army to deal with the abysmals.

Oliver as a strategist and former military general obviously didn't believe it either and shared his thoughts with Andrew and the others. Although this made them curious, it was not for long, because although they wanted to know, the reality was that it did not matter.

No matter what other decisions the world leaders had made, Andrew and the others had no ability to participate in them. It was obvious that they were out of their league in that situation, so they stopped worrying and focused on their plans.

Although Andrew and the others did not care about this topic, some people and organizations were interested in knowing what else had been discussed at the meeting of world leaders.

Especially organizations that were not on the right side of the law. It is known that this type of organization is always looking for opportunities and what better opportunity than a meeting where all the kings and emperors of the continent are present?

Some many kings and emperors were attacked on their way back and although none of them died, many were robbed. Fortunately, for the thieves the situation of the abysmals was urgent or else they would have had to endure the wrath of these rulers.

These organizations were not stupid, they knew that the kings and emperors would not persecute them for theft, since the abysmals were more important. They were also careful not to assassinate any ruler or else they would not be able to escape.

The point is that all countries on the continent, regardless of race began to gather their army. While they would not be so charitable as to send their best men, they did have to send experts.

This army was not composed of warriors, but of experts. The weakest one was an intermediate expert and his numbers totaled more than a million. The reason this was agreed upon is simple, the abysmal humanoids are demigods.

This is known and verified information, so they couldn't send weak warriors to die in battle. While an intermediate expert would be no different from a dead man facing an abysmal humanoid, they were not there to face abysmal humanoids.

The roles of each expert were well-defined. The demigod-level warriors would be the generals of this army and it would be they, along with the expert masters, who would face the abysmal humanoids.

On the other hand, the super experts would command the weaker ones to deal with the non-rational abysmals. This was a simple, but effective strategy. However, gathering this amount of experts could not be done in a few days.

In fact, it was more difficult to assemble this army than one made of normal soldiers, since not all the experts were in one place, and especially the demigods were not only far from the hustle and bustle of the cities but were also capricious.

Fortunately, there were no demigods arrogant enough to make problematic demands when the abysmals threatened. Every country in the continent carried out its obligations as best they could, but it would still take half to a month to finish assembling the army.

The abyssals were not wasting any time either and quickly gathered all their troops. Normally non-rational abyssals wander the continent without direction or purpose, but with the continent preparing to attack, the abyssals could not allow this.

The humanoid abyssals divided themselves to gather all the non-rational abysmals to join the army that faced the experts of the continent.

It was true that the abysmals were much weaker compared to 1,000 years ago, but there were still about 3 million non-rational abysmals and about 50 humanoid abysmals.

The inhabitants of the continent did not know it, but the armies were very equal in strength. In fact, the continent had the advantage, as they could always send reinforcements, but the abysmals could not create more of their own.

Fluffy's conjecture was partially wrong. No fallen god was hiding in this world, but in the past there were and this led to the war that destroyed the continent 1,000 years in the past.

However, this fallen god really died. Unexpectedly, he was a fallen god with dominion over war, so the gods subjugated him with the help of the inhabitants of this world.

The problem was that a part of his blood was left behind and it was thanks to this blood that the current abysmals appeared. Compared to the abysmals from 1,000 years ago, they are weaker and since the blood of the fallen god is not as powerful as the god himself, they cannot produce abyssals as quickly.
