‘Yes, Herms son, Roone Skadi,

He is an Emperor as well.’

Riona informed with a grim look on her face.

Amaya’s expression turned serious as well.

‘Oh C’mon, don’t act like you two hadn’t predicted it already.’

Suddenly, Allura jumped into the conversation as well.

‘We did predict something like this, yes but…’

Riona wanted to say something but didn’t know how to explain her thoughts.

After analyzing Herms’s actions, Riona had already predicted this, Nux and Astaria were the same as well, and now that their prediction has come true…

Riona didn’t know how to feel.

‘Let’s not think too much about it, mother. You are being overly cautious.’

Suddenly, Amaya spoke.

‘…alright.’

Riona nodded.

With an inexplicable expression on her face, Amaya ended the conversation.

“Heh, so that’s why he was acting so boldly.”

Astaria laughed.

“Now it makes more sense.

Hiding his trump card till the end, getting rid of Lord Alcimus and then Lady Astaria, the only one left would be Amletus. With Herms and his son working together, Amletus can be dealt with and the Solid Earth Kingdom would become the sole ruler of the continent.

A great plan indeed.”

Evane was impressed.

“Indeed. Now everything lines up.”

Felberta nodded as well.

The other girls nodded as well.

“Anyways, now it is a 2v2 right?” Evane questioned.

“It is.”

Ember nodded.

“What about Alcimus then?” Thyra questioned.

For her, 2v2 meant Nux and Astaria, versus Herms and his son.

“For now, he is our ally, we will use him for as long as he is useful,” Amaya replied.

“So Nux is going to hold back?”

“Yes, he will fight together with us and hopefully, it stays the same for the entire battle.”

“So he will only act if the situation gets worse?”

“Yes, we will discuss the complete plan now, so pay attention.”

Astaria spoke.

The others nodded with serious looks on their faces and the preparation for the war started.

…

30 minutes later, the Skyfall Army arrived at Berling Town.

Astaria was the first one to walk out of the carriage.

The moment she walked out, Alcimus came forward with a smile on his face and greeted,

“You are finally here.”

“It took us longer than I thought.”

Astaria nodded.

Nux and the others walked out of the carriage. This time, Nux and his wives didn’t have any masks on, therefore, the moment they came out, they attracted attention.

Alcimus’s eyes fell on Nux’s wives as well, or more precisely, his eyes fell on a certain black-red haired woman,

“It has been a while, Ember.”

He greeted.

“It has, indeed.”

Ember nodded as well.

Her expression seemed pretty distant.

Many other soldiers also recognized Ember, the Missing General, however, no one dared to talk about her.

They already knew about Ember when she first came in as reinforcements after all.

Ellinger’s eyes also fell on Ember, Ember glanced at him and he soon broke the eye contact.

He knew what he did and he wasn’t confident enough to face this woman.

If only he hadn’t been this childish and had seriously considered what Ember said… none of this would have happened.

Ember, however, completely ignored the dynast and turned around. Astaria walked forward and walked towards Alcimus,

“Are you prepared?”

“Of course I am, I have prepared 90 thousand soldiers for this war, 5 of them are King Stage Cultivators and 15 are Expert Stage Cultivators.”

Alcimus replied.

“…Alright.”

Astaria stayed silent for a while, however, in the end, she just nodded.

Honestly, she expected a bit more from the Woods Dynasty, however, this Dynasty has already lost 4 of their King Stage Cultivators…

So it wasn’t that bad.

They weren’t the strongest, after all.

Rather, before the Solid Earth Kingdom’s raid in the Bloodhill Wilderness’s forbidden region, they were the weakest.

Alcimus knew what was going on inside Astaria’s mind and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Anyways, let’s organize our troops and discuss the strategies.

There are only 4 days left, after all.”

Astaria spoke and Alcimus agreed.

The two Emperors then started walking towards a certain building, Nux and his wives followed, Ellinger did the same as well.

The new meeting started.

Formations, plans, and tactics were discussed.

The atmosphere was serious and just like that,

2 days passed by.

…

Celistilla City, a prosperous city built in the neutral zone which borders all 4 Nations but was not a part of any of the city, was also known as the city of Merchants.

Here, Merchants sold the best collections they had, it was a peaceful city where the rich came to relax and take a rest from their daily lifestyle.

Now, however, this peaceful city had become barren.

After the Emperors’ Meet, the Great War was announced. The location was that war was Celistilla City.

The once lively city was now barren, completely silent.

And today, the city finally heard a sound other than howling winds and birds chirping.

However, this wasn’t a good sign.

2 Opposite armies were now standing against each other, ready to destroy the other the moment they get the chance.

It was now time for the war.

The Leaders of the Armies, Astaria Skyfall, Alcimus Woods, Herms Lizander and Roone Lizander walked out and faced each other.

The youngest and the newest member of this group of elites, Roone, stood there with a prideful look on his face.

There was no hint of nervousness on his face.

A commendable trait.

Roone’s eyes suddenly fell on Nux and his wives who were standing in front of the rest of the Skyfall Army without their masks on and he couldn’t help but comment,

“Heh. Is it a War or a Beauty Show?

I have never seen warriors like them.”

He was clearly ridiculing the Skyfall Army, the so-called strongest.

Astaria, however, just smiled kindly,

“It is a War of course, participation does not require beauty, so you can rest assured.”

Roone’s expression changed, however, he didn’t give Astaria the satisfaction of getting one over him and commented,

“Heh, only strength matters.

I have seen many ‘beautiful people’, kneeling on the ground, begging for their lives while snot and tears covered their faces,

Heh, that sight is not attractive at all.

I wonder if you guys can make it look more attractive.”
