Lord General Ragnar observed the huge coffin in which the Tier 10 Bloodkin was slumbering as he scanned the magic array around the coffin. Surprisingly, before the Bloodkin went to slumber, he erected a magical array around the coffin, so he would be immediately woken up when someone did something in the room.

While the Lord General was not an expert in magic, not many Aesir were, as they were a battle race that preferred to fight with axes and swords, not with spells and magic.

Still, he was relatively knowledgeable about the Runis Magic, as he learned something from the Vanirs that were serving in the Luna Wolves Army and thus was able to discern the array with a single glance.

When it came to the magic arrays, they were always created from the small components, and among these components, there were always weak spots of each array, and the array that was placed here was not an exception to the universal rule.

He wanted to disable the array, so he could kill the Tier 10 Bloodkin before the leech awakened, while normally he would want to fight him in single combat, but the Military Doctrine forbade such actions if there was a safer solution to the situation.

Quickly locating the three weak places in the array, he then gently deactivated those runes; as soon entire array started collapsing on its own, without, of course, alerting the Tier 10 Bloodkin, who was hibernating in the coffin in the middle of the spacious underground room inside the crypts.

After the array was disabled, he looked at the coffin, after which he started channeling all of his power as the while flames burst out of his waraxe, and with his full power of the peak Tier 10 expert, he slashed the entire coffin together with the slumbering Tier 10 Bloodkin in half.

"Rather anti-climatic... but as they say, the boring and predictable is always the best thing."

The Lord General commented as he looked at the coffin together with the corpse of the Tier 10 Bloodkin, who was killed in one hit, though the Bloodkin was many times weaker in terms of raw power and combat prowess compared to someone as Lord General Ragnar Lothbrok.

He was one of the elite Lord Generals of the Imperialis Militarum, one of the best that could the Chthonian Empire of the Baator offer. So it was only expectable that someone of his stature would be undefeated on the battlefield.

He then activated his Holo-Brain as he read the messages from the other experts of the Luna Wolves Army who were sent on similar assassination missions to kill the experts of the Bloodkins stealthily, so they could catch the entire plane in one swoop, which exactly would happen after a short time.

Lord General Ragnar read the reports; all of the Tier 9 Bloodkins were killed without any trouble; only some of the Generals ran into problems because two of all Bloodkins were extra cautious and warded their castles or places where they were hibernating to the absolute extreme.

After reading all of that, he issued the command to the Voidfleet that was carrying the soldiers of the Luna Wolves to drop the drop pods and start descending towards the plane, as the main resistance was quelled, and only sole Tier 9 Bloodkin remained, who would be taken care of.

Not even ten minutes later, all of the major cities in the entire Secondary Grade 2 Plane were woken up by two things.

The first one was an orbital bombardment from the Voidships as they targeted the military installations, barracks or some defensive machines and constructions like Mage Towers or magetech weaponry.

And the second were the hundreds of falling drop pods from the orbit, as the elite squads of the Luna Wolves were descending for the fight as the shock troopers and started securing the area.

The Luna Wolves were all of the Aesir and Vanir species; since the founding of the Empire, some Devils, Oni, Dragons and other species that followed the same ideology as the Aesir joined the Army.

It was an unstoppable force of Bersekerks that instantly, upon existing, the drop pods started brutally tearing through the defenders, killing everything in their path and cleaving the way for the Voidships that slowly started descending down from the orbit.

This scenario was 100% the same in each major city or other prominent location to the Bloodkins that were living on this Secondary Grade 2 Plane.

Aside from the soldiers of the Luna Wolves that descended from the Voidhsips or came with the drop pods, thousands of Fenrisian Wolves were running all around the cities, as they were familiar of the soldiers of the 2nd Army Luna Wolves.

That was the reason why the second Army of the Imperialis Militarum was named as the Luna Wolves because since some time ago, the soldiers of the 2nd Army started taking the Fenrisian Wolves as their familiars, which were very ferocious and powerful species of the wolf-type magical beasts.

After three hours of fighting, the Luna Wolves managed to secure several major cities on this plane, as the Vampires and Bloodkins were not putting up much of a fight.

Many of those who were here were just nobles who were enjoying pampered life because, ironically though, 80% of their standing professional Army was summoned to the Divine Blood Plane, leaving here only a few tens of thousands of soldiers who were defending the capital.

And even the capital city of the plane was already held by them partially because the standing Army of the Bloodkin, while undoubtedly powerful and skilled, was outnumbered severely.

Now, the outcome between the two armies was not decided by the quality but rather the quantity.

Altogether it took another three weeks to assume control over the entire plane completely.

While the cities were controlled relatively easily, some more rebellious elements decided to play guerilla warfare, which took some effort from the Luna Wolves to root them out completely.

Still, with the help of their loyal wolf companions, it was done faster than any other army would do it.
