âNow, letâs start the warâs first strategy meeting,â Peter started the strategy meeting as the Grandaria king.
The night before, Slime and Alfred spent their time talking with each other about the things they experienced for the last three years. When they realized, the sun had started to appear as itâs already time for the substitution of the moonâs shift with the sun.
âAlfred, you have bags under your eyes,â Peter voice his concern for his friend.
âAh. Yeah⦠I kinda have a nightmare last night. Donât mind me, just start the meeting already, your majesty,â Alfred answered as he yawned.
âI see⦠Then letâs start. Weâll march towards the Potterland kingdom in two hours. Weâll be now reexamining the roles of each army,â (Peter)
Everyone present nods at Peterâs words.
âAs weâve boldly informed the world that weâll be waging war with the Potterland kingdom, it means that there will be no element of surprise in our attack. And since we donât know the extent of their prowess as they had obtained the power to demonized their soldiers, weâll be sending as many soldiers we could,â (Peter)
âAbout that, Iâve got some information concerning that,â Said Slime.
âReally? Please tell us, Mr. Slime. And of course, we wonât take the information for free,â (Peter)
âItâs fine, your majesty. The fact that youâll be giving us 40% of the warâs loot is more than enough for us,â (Slime)
âIs that so? Then how about weâll give you 50%,â (Peter)
âNo need to do so, your majesty. You can take this information as proof of our sincerity towards the alliance. Anyways, this is the information that our intel had gathered,â Slime took out some chess pieces from his pocket and positioned it above the huge map of the Ablux continent in the middle of them.
âThey seem to be wary of us, so theyâve gathered their royal soldiers inside the capital to protect only their capital, while the soldiers of their nobles are marching towards the haven plain which is the best place to have an all-out war and located right between the Potterland kingdom and the Grandaria kingdom which they believed to be the path our army will march,â (Slime)
âTo use the noblesâ soldiers as cannon fodder, how disgusting,â Commented the supreme general.
âThe royal soldiers inside their capital are about 80,000. While the soldiers of the nobles that are marching towards the Haven plains had reached 250,000 in number,â Informed Slime.
âTo be able to gather intel at such speed, the Tarot empireâs prowess is truly formidableâ¦â Praised one of the Grandaria kingdomâs general, the âValkyrie, Emily Bellerâ.
âThanks for the praise,â Slime politely thanked her.
âThatâs a decent number. How do you think we should proceed, general?â Peter asked the supreme generalâs opinion.
âHm⦠The soldiers of their nobles are not that formidable since they have been in denial with the royal family since long ago, the prowess of the nobles had got reduced forcefully by the royal family of the Potterland kingdom, so there is no need to afraid of their prowess, the only problem is their number,â (Supreme General of Grandaria)
âBut since this time, our king had won the favor of almost all the nobles of the great Grandaria kingdom, weâve succeeded in gathering 400,000 soldiers for this war. And even the biggest merchant family of the Ablux continent had decided to sponsor the war and cover the war supplies, so I think there will be no need to worry of attacking them head-on, your majesty,â (Supreme General)
âWell, of course. Setting aside the biggest merchant family title, we have our duty as the nobles of the Grandaria kingdom, and itâll be a rare chance to fight alongside so many heroes of the Grandaria kingdom, HAHAHAHAHA!â
Duke Hugh Renstenor, a merchant and a noble family that had been supporting the Grandaria kingdom for a long time. Their business ran on all sides of the continent. Even though heâs great at business, the dukeâs body is huge and well-trained. When the queen is still on the throne, heâs one of the nobles that supported the royal family secretly by providing funds. But since Peter took over the throne, he decided to publicly support the new king and is also trying to make a connection with the Tarot empire.
(Despite boasting as a merchant, his aura is not that different from the supreme general⦠I doubt his humanityâ¦) (Fenrir)
(I-I canât deny thatâ¦) (Slime)
âThen weâll be marching them head-on. The plan is to cut down the numbers of their nobleâs soldiers first and try to make them surrender as fast as we could. It seems that they only let the royal soldiers to demonized themselves, so our only foe is those who inside the Potterland kingdomâs capital. As their suggestion, the Tarot empireâs army will be our vanguard, the royal soldiers will take the right flank that leads by general Edward, the noblesâ soldiers will take the left flank and will be lead by Duke Renstenor. The absolute command will be in the supreme commanderâs hand, Any objection?â (Peter)
âIs it fine for me to hold that authority? Isnât it fine to have Mr. Slime hold the absolute command instead?â Asked the supreme general.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt wonât be a good idea to have me, a foreigner, to have the absolute command instead of the king or the supreme general himself, after all,â Replied Slime.
âI see⦠If you say so thenâ¦â (Supreme General)
The comment the supreme general made is rather unexpected for Slime. In his memory, the supreme general is hostile towards those who donât come from the Grandaria kingdom.
âAny other objections or suggestions?â
No one raises their voice to object nor question.
âThen youâre free to go back to your own posts and prepare to march,â Peter disbanded the meeting.
Everyone bowed towards Peter and about to leave the royal palaceâs meeting room before a knock came from outside the room.
(Master) (Fenrir)
(Itâs fine, theyâre not our enemies. It seems that our odds of winning had increased even more) (Slime)
âYour majesty, 34 men and women consist of your former classmates at the Avalon magic academyâs special class request an audience with you, my king,â The voice of a royal guard entered sounded from the back of the door.
âLet them in,â answered Peter.
When the royal guard opened the door, the five generals approached and surrounded Peter and prepare in case heâll get attacked. The supreme general couldnât help but do so because the people that about to enter the room are geniuses that had entered the sword saint rank 3 years ago.
While now, the supreme general could sense the presence of 10 sword god ranked warriors and 4 magic god ranked magicians while the rest are already in the bottleneck of the sword saint rank and archmage rank.
!!!??
When the door is opened, they could see the 34 people are kneeling in front of the door. Itâs a surprising sight as some of them are the children of the nobles that are in the opposite faction of the queen.
âPlease let us fight together with you, your majesty. Weâre strong, and we also want to contribute towards the kingdom, please let usâ¦â To add even more surprise, the one who said those words are Brandon, the one who challenged Oz to duel three years ago.
âBrandonâ¦â (Sera)
âAll of us rush towards here when we heard youâve ascended to the throne. Use us,â (Brandon)
Their lives inside the magic academy are short, but all of them enjoyed their experience there. And the one who gets rid of the special class is the nobles that supported the Potterland kingdom in secret.
âWeâve lost our valuable comrade once, let us fight together with you,â (Brandon)
Everyone at the Avalon magic academyâs special class holds great admiration for Oz. Despite having the lowest rank in cultivation, he is so strong that no one ever defeated him inside the class. But even though he had strength, heâs humble, and that trait attracts people to get friendly with him.
After getting defeated once, Brandon occasionally challenged Oz to duel at the training grounds. but despite being his opponent, Oz gave some pointers for Brandon that prove useful for him and had helped him break through to the sword god rank.
Peter, Albus, Alfred, Sen, Edreale, and Sera felt a great nostalgic feeling as they saw their classmates from the magic academy. They had lost one of their classmates, and he is the one who had became their target. He had disappeared because of the demons, but yet there is suddenly a kingdom that joined hands with the demons and betrayed humanity. Remembering their friend, they decided that they canât stay idle.
They chose to raise their weapons.
âYes, letâs fight them together,â (Peter)
