Several days later, the Ancient Eternal Star Region, one of the expeditionary fleets of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.
This expeditionary fleet was led by the current Emperor of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, Sirzechs Gremory-Lucifer.
As one of the Tier 11 powerhouses, Sirzechs was too leading the expeditionary fleet into the territory of the Venan Species, which were one of the three hegemons of the Ancient Eternal Star Region.
Compared to the Taesci Race and Three-Eyed Race, the Venans were the least populous, and their population was the lowest; in truth, they were one of the smallest races across the entire Star Region.
Though, that didn't apply to their strength, as each mber of the Venan Race was extrely strong.
They were unnaturally gifted in terms of physique and were all talented in the area of body refining.
Even the weakest mber of their species was at least Tier 4 in terms of physique. Of course, in exchange for a heavenly gift like this, their affinity with Mana or other energies was abysmal, and only a few of their race were able to use them.
Thus they rather incorporated various elents into their martial arts, giving them various attributes like Fire, Wind or Lightning.
On the commanding center of the Adjudicator-Class Juggernaut Capital Ship, Sirzechs was drinking tea with one of his wives.
Because his first wife Serafall was Magister of Foreign Affairs, and especially now during their conquest of the Ancient Eternal Star Region, she had an even higher workload; only his second wife accompanied him.
Cleria Belial was a beautiful woman, with short white hair and tanned skin, like the rest of the Belial House, which was already High Lord House, after her brother Diehauser Belial beca Tier 10 by ascending into the Dinsional-Class.
She wore a combat outfit, which only enhanced her curves and athletic physique, which she developed by practicing martial arts for whole millennia, like the rest of the Belial House mbers.
They, who were known for their Clan Trait Worthless, and all of them comprehended the Law of Negation, were the masters of all kinds of martial arts.
"What are you thinking about, dear?"
Asked Cleria kindly, she was always a very kind and gentle soul, never very prone to violence and fighting, like most of the species that inhabited the Baator.
"Nothing, just that we would be soon landing at one of the major fortresses of the Venan Race, and the fight there would be a tough one, very tough one."
Sirzechs said seriously, as his father gave him the task of conquering practically the most critical plane, which served as one of four entrances towards the core territory of the Venan Race.
Each one of those entrances was the planes, which were guarding the borders, and were heavily fortified with countless experts presiding over them, and huge armies were stationed there.
"Hopefully, the Ancestor of the Venan Race won't appear; if not, then we can take the plane from the Venans with so degree of casualties and probably even kill a few of their Tier 11 experts, which would be for best."
Sirzechs comnted that while he was relatively new Tier 11, his combat prowess was extrely fearso, to the level he predicted he could fight even two or three average Tier 11.
His Path was very powerful, and while not unique as his father's or as dedicated as his great-grandfather's, it was extrely destructive in its fundantal nature.
"By the information gathered by the Departnt of the Intelligence and Executioner Temple, there should be only two Tier 11 powerhouses present."
Reported Cleria, she was very talented in espionage and information gathering or organizing strategies for the planar conquest, and that was why, even now, during this expeditionary fleet, she was in charge of devising the strategy.
"Unfortunately, against the experts of the Venan Race, our usual strategy won't be effective against them too much."
She then continued her analysis of the situation.
The typical strategy of the Chthonian Empire during the planar conquest, if the plane was strong and had so very powerful experts, was to use their naval superiority to kill as many of their experts.
In this case, they would be making use of the Adjudicator-Class Juggernaut Capital Ship to kill or at least severely injure their Tier 11 experts who were guarding the plane.
But with the Venan Race, it was relatively impossible because, aside from the terrifying physical capabilities of the Venan Race, they all had very strong resistance against various forms of energy.
That was another perk of their terrifying physiques.
"Then we will employ newly developed seals, and if we cannot kill them fastly, then we will seal them."
Stated Sirzechs shortly after.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, we have entered the outer periter of the Venan Territory."
Sounded the voice of one mber of the Custodians who ca here to deliver them the ssage.
"Excellent, then prepare for the engagent; how long till we arrive at the targetted destination?"
The entire territory of the Venan Race was heavily monitored by them, so it was probable that their expeditionary fleet would be noticed by them any minute, so the direct confrontation before they even managed to reach the plane was inevitable.
"Approximate ti for the confrontation is 1 hour and 13 minus 18 seconds."
Answered the Custodian; Sirzechs nodded his head in agreent before the Custodian bowed his head in respect as he excused himself and returned back to his position.
"With the Dresden Arcanum Empire, at least, the Three-Eyed Race will have their hands tied, and they won't be able to make any move towards us, that is leaving only the Taesci and Venans, but for now, all eyes are focused on the Blackstone Fortress and father-in-law who are attracting their attention, giving us so sort of blank space to continue the conquest."
Sirzrechs agreed with Cleria's statent, as that was indeed the truth, and thanks to that attracted attention, they were free to breach through the defenses of the Venan Race and spread their reach forwards.
