“Now, let’s start the war’s first strategy meeting,” 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 it’s already time for the substitution of the moon’s shift with the sun.

“Alfred, you have bags under your eyes,” Peter voice his concern for his friend.

“Ah. Yeah… I kinda have a nightmare last night. Don’t mind me, just start the meeting already, your majesty,” Alfred answered as he yawned.

“I see… Then let’s start. We’ll march towards the Potterland kingdom in two hours. We’ll be now reexamining the roles of each army,” (Peter)

Everyone present nods at Peter’s words.

“As we’ve boldly informed the world that we’ll be waging war with the Potterland kingdom, it means that there will be no element of surprise in our attack. And since we don’t know the extent of their prowess as they had obtained the power to demonized their soldiers, we’ll be sending as many soldiers we could,” (Peter)

“About that, I’ve got some information concerning that,” Said Slime.

“Really? Please tell us, Mr. Slime. And of course, we won’t take the information for free,” (Peter)

“It’s fine, your majesty. The fact that you’ll be giving us 40% of the war’s loot is more than enough for us,” (Slime)

“Is that so? Then how about we’ll give you 50%,” (Peter)

“No 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,” 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.

“They seem to be wary of us, so they’ve 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,” (Slime)

“To use the nobles’ soldiers as cannon fodder, how disgusting,” Commented the supreme general.

“The 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,” Informed Slime.

“To be able to gather intel at such speed, the Tarot empire’s prowess is truly formidable…” Praised one of the Grandaria kingdom’s general, the ‘Valkyrie, Emily Beller’.

“Thanks for the praise,” Slime politely thanked her.

“That’s a decent number. How do you think we should proceed, general?” Peter asked the supreme general’s opinion.

“Hm… 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,” (Supreme General of Grandaria)

“But since this time, our king had won the favor of almost all the nobles of the great Grandaria kingdom, we’ve 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,” (Supreme General)

“Well, of course. Setting aside the biggest merchant family title, we have our duty as the nobles of the Grandaria kingdom, and it’ll be a rare chance to fight alongside so many heroes of the Grandaria kingdom, HAHAHAHAHA!”

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 he’s great at business, the duke’s body is huge and well-trained. When the queen is still on the throne, he’s 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 humanity…) (Fenrir)

(I-I can’t deny that…) (Slime)

“Then we’ll be marching them head-on. The plan is to cut down the numbers of their noble’s 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 kingdom’s capital. As their suggestion, the Tarot empire’s army will be our vanguard, the royal soldiers will take the right flank that leads by general Edward, the nobles’ soldiers will take the left flank and will be lead by Duke Renstenor. The absolute command will be in the supreme commander’s hand, Any objection?” (Peter)

“Is it fine for me to hold that authority? Isn’t it fine to have Mr. Slime hold the absolute command instead?” Asked the supreme general.

“It won’t 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,” Replied Slime.

“I see… If you say so then…” (Supreme General)

The comment the supreme general made is rather unexpected for Slime. In his memory, the supreme general is hostile towards those who don’t come from the Grandaria kingdom.

“Any other objections or suggestions?”

No one raises their voice to object nor question.

“Then you’re free to go back to your own posts and prepare to march,” Peter disbanded the meeting.

Everyone bowed towards Peter and about to leave the royal palace’s meeting room before a knock came from outside the room.

(Master) (Fenrir)

(It’s fine, they’re not our enemies. It seems that our odds of winning had increased even more) (Slime)

“Your majesty, 34 men and women consist of your former classmates at the Avalon magic academy’s special class request an audience with you, my king,” The voice of a royal guard entered sounded from the back of the door.

“Let them in,” answered Peter.

When the royal guard opened the door, the five generals approached and surrounded Peter and prepare in case he’ll get attacked. The supreme general couldn’t 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. It’s a surprising sight as some of them are the children of the nobles that are in the opposite faction of the queen.

“Please let us fight together with you, your majesty. We’re strong, and we also want to contribute towards the kingdom, please let us…” To add even more surprise, the one who said those words are Brandon, the one who challenged Oz to duel three years ago.

“Brandon…” (Sera)

“All of us rush towards here when we heard you’ve ascended to the throne. Use us,” (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.

“We’ve lost our valuable comrade once, let us fight together with you,” (Brandon)

Everyone at the Avalon magic academy’s 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, he’s 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 can’t stay idle.

They chose to raise their weapons.

“Yes, let’s fight them together,” (Peter)
