28 Preparations for War (2/2)
Apparently, he wants to attack in 3 days rather than a week from now. The plan had some minor changes but it didn't stop what we already agreed on. He will keep an eye on our compound to make sure no one goes out to inform our enemy but we have to take care of the inside. When I finished reading the letters they caught fire and turned to ashes
Yasaka - *sigh*
Yu Hyoudou you are one interesting boy.

{Yu's Pow:}
By now Yasaka already got my letter and I had just finished informing the Nekoshou. Some didn't like the idea but still chose to agree with my idea. Others were worried that their skills have gotten rusty since they haven't gotten real battle experience in a while but I solved that problem easily.
A long time ago when I was using the [dungeon] function of the system I got the option of creating my own dungeon in Haven for future use. I agreed to put it in but left the dungeon inactive since neither I nor the Nekoshou needed it at the moment. There was also the issue of monsters overflowing Haven so I put it to the side until now.
Currently, I'm a deep in the mountain range in Haven a couple Km away from the village and behind me are 40 of the strongest Nekoshou in the village. The rest are still in the village since I won't have everyone fight.
Of these 40 Nekoshou 12 of them are ultimate rank and the rest were peak high rank. I now know why everyone was scared of them but now these people are loyal to me so I have nothing to fear.
Before use was a large ominous door with miasma covering the surroundings. This was the labyrinth dungeon I installed here. The monsters inside vary greatly from each other and the experience will sharpen the Nekoshou's previously dull claws.
With the help of [Time Alteration], I slowed the time inside 7 times so 3 days outside will be 21 days inside. When they get out they may even be stronger then when they came in I hope.
Watching them enter I had a little bit of worry in my heart since I knew it was hard to survive in there but I had to let them go hoping none of them die. They're in a group and back then I was alone when I first went into the labyrinth so it shouldn't be too bad.
I gave them teleportation runes that'll bring them back to the dungeon entrance when the 21 days are up. All I need to do is wait.
---- 3 Days later ----
I'm back in front of the dungeon with everyone in the village and were waiting for the dungeon party to return. Over these few things, my people were able to catch 6 informants leaving the Yokai compound and eliminated them swiftly.
I also didn't stay idle while they were in the dungeon I made many pieces of equipment and runes for the operation to make sure nothing went wrong. Kuroka and Shirone however, made great strides in their training, yesterday they were able to gain their second tail and their control over life energy improved by a large margin.
Kuroka chose to specialize more in Youjutsu (demon arts) and Shirone chose to specialize more in Touki (fighting spirit). They still chose to gain some knowledge from other field but mainly focused on their chosen path. Another skill their working on is Kasha but they're having trouble scratching the surface of the technique.
*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*
Before long 40 Nekoshou began to appear before us, and all of them had a breathtaking aura around them. It was like the aura you'd get from a beautiful girl even though they're all beautiful it was more like the aura a returning soldier will have when they return home.
All of them had stern and determined eyes and looked like they were ready for a fight. I smiled at this since I could tell that 5 more Nekoshou broke through their previous limits and reached ultimate rank. If things keep going on like this everyone else might reach this rank to,
The thought gave me some expectation and worry. I'm only at the mid-tier high rank. While it may be easy for them I, on the other hand, will take longer to reach that point.
Yu - *Sigh*
Sighing at the unfairness of the world I distributed potions, and pills to the returning party and told them the rest until the time came. Right now it's 7 in the morning and we plan to attack at midnight I need these guys to consolidate their foundation and recover any energy they lost in the dungeon.
