Draiss nodded as they sat around the table in his personal room, including the greater succubus that he had spawned to run the external spies, while he had given Ash the job of running internal security and being a second general. She had preformed perfectly, and D was quite happy to give both Kammy and Ash an official demon lord status, the succubus still being a lesser demon lord, but only because she had been working for him for three years as opposed to the fifteen and eleven years of the other two. "I was hoping that you would have a solution, and I guess that will work. Seems a bit of a waste of resources, as I certainly don't want either side to win that war. Either one is bad news for everything else in the multi-planar-verse. But I honestly doubt tossing a couple hundred demons into the mix every month or so is going to make that huge of a difference. When you let the troops know, make it clear that specialists and the higher ranking officers are not allowed to volunteer, and that anyone that makes it back with glory will be... hmm what is good wording... properly rewarded here as well. Doubt many will make it back, but after the first few do and get that reward, whatever we decide it is, I suspect the number of volunteers to double at least. Something like... 10 souls, three days with a succubus of their choice from the public ranks, and a month of light duty, minimum, if they actually did more than survive. Squad leaders that bring back some of their troops get more, etc.<br/><br/>Good idea, Blood War, turns the basic average line trooper into a powerful survivor. Going to bring in a bunch of lower end demons to finish filling out the ranks, after whatever Lord Dispater left us. Though that Beyonder core shard was worth what I paid, and even more than twice again. So get me a listing of what percentages of what you need, and I will fill it out with the repository of souls we collected.<br/><br/>But we are also building the fortresses over the natural portals leading into the planes we conquered, so those that are just doing usual griping can be sent there for a short tour, and if they get caught again, Blood War. Those that are actually being a nuisance about it, first time Blood War."<br/><br/>That done, he slipped out, promising to come back to pin both his generals down and make them pass out, but he first had to do some other things first. Arriving at the dead plane he had mentioned to Ama with the possible Elder Evil, he immediately knew two things. First, that there was definitely an elder evil here, likely the undead wandering plane, he could feel it above him. Second, it was already leaving, beyond the distance between this plane and its sun, and only accelerating faster. The pockets of life were still gamely hanging on, and he authorized shadow stalker relief squads to sally out, as well as his good and neutral outsiders, his angels glad for a chance to get out and help, though they were wise enough to stay in groups and wouldn't try to over extend themselves like his demons would. He sighed, shaking his head at the just barely missed opportunity, before heading back to the domain to meet with Niara, and see if she was ready to try and be purged.
