The Crusaders II Bets are placed 7.6

1.          Canals of Vienna

In the Boathouse, Lucifer threw the wine glass into the canal. His scout just left with the grim news; there was an issue with the inter dimensions. It was Asmodeus' idea to get assistance from Loki and that resulted in awakening up Odin' wrath.

"My brother, we are not at a loss yet." Lucifer looked to his co-Prince, Satan. "Just as Odin is back in Asgard but it bought us time to recruit an army of dead. The ones we left behind would keep Odin busy to fight his own Ragnarok than to cross over to fight us."

"Just like the wine glass; it does not belong in the canals, but I placed it there. One day it would be discovered as a treasure." Lucifer looked to Satan. "Asmodeus did not leave a treasure. He just left an issue which may one day become a problem."

"Asmodeus thought that an alliance with Loki would add to his power. He assisted Loki in trapping Odin, for that he was given an army of dead warriors from Niflheim. Odin fear the prophecy of Fenrir swallowing him during Ragnarok. Asmodeus did not foresee the rescue of Odin by the Crusader." Satan explained his other brother's action.

"An action which he did not capitalize to the fullest. There may be a way to repair the damage." Lucifer smiled.

"The Lycan are wary of this war, more so when the undead blood drinkers are in alliance with Asmodeus. They took records of sensitive nature from the Pentagon and Moscow; its showed their fear that this war may affect their existence too." Lucifer continued.

"Lucifer, Fenrir of the Norse is not their leader. There is another namesake here on our dimension...." Satan correct the assumption.

"Fenrir here is none other than a creation of my son, Baal; an offspring of Cerberus and another she-wolf ascended to lead the Lycan. They do not know its true nature but it would lead to their extinction as planned by Baal. It seem my mis-led son is also plotting his comeback against me." Lucifer reflect on the previous attempt of his son who imprisoned him until he was rescued by the Crusaders then. "Truly a mere coincidence or a twist of fate planned by the almighty Father."

"Baal involved? I am no aware of it." Satan drew back from his brother side.

"Satan, my brother in name. You disappoint me; ignorance and false pretense are very distinct differences." Lucifer glared at his brother. "This is my suggested plan for you to elevate your position with Asmodeus. You might just make the Lycan come to negotiate for an alliance."
