"I don't understand, but I can predict that you will soon be joining the troops on the battlefield," said Sohana.

Almost all wizarding groups in the empire gathered here. This has never happened before. Even during the Tacoma City Incident, there were not so many people gathered.

The news of the Borg invasion has begun to spread like wildfire.

Those who can come here are more or less mentally prepared. Even if they really have to fight, at least they have to make their wizarding organization prepare everything properly.

"I heard that Prince Philip and the Grand Duke are coming in person this time, so I expect there will be a lot of arguments at the meeting," Sohana continued, only to find that her chief wasn't listening at all, as he was intently reading the letter in his hand.

Subtle changes in expression

"Sean has a problem."

"I heard that Oro City has been busy with construction recently, so it's normal to encounter some problems." Sohana said casually, feeling helpless.

Since he came back last time, his beloved leader, the leader of the Wings of Heaven, the red dragon witch Frelia Iguel, has changed his attitude towards the man who came to the headquarters last time.

The two have lived together for so long that they can feel even the slightest change in each other's emotions.

What puzzled Sohana was that Sean seemed to have left when the Lietis team left, while Frelia left with the team. The two had no chance of meeting each other, but their relationship had changed.

I really don't understand

"That's not it," Frelia said, frowning.

"Sean thinks the war started by the Borg this time might be related to the followers of the Old Gods."

Even Sohana got tensed when these words were spoken.

Come over and read the letter

It happened to be the last letter Sean sent, which talked about a pendant that could make people powerful and was called the Lovekla Pendant. He also copied that sentence into the letter.

These words related to the dark evil god are what the ancient god believers often say. Last time in the old city of Tacoma, Frelia heard similar statements from the Octopus Man and the Deep and Shallow One.

"Then what should we do? Should we report this matter to His Royal Highness?"

"Sean wants us to investigate without telling anyone else."

Frelia used her magic detection to scan the paper. A faint halo flashed across the paper, and another fingerprint appeared on the paper. At least three people had deciphered this letter before her.

If the letter was written by Sean himself, at most two people would have lifted it, but now so many people have appeared.

This letter had clearly been opened and read before arriving here, but it was well disguised, having been sealed back to its original appearance. Such perfection must have been achieved through the use of time-reversal magic, though such magic couldn't completely erase all traces.

Moreover, there are very few people in Lietis who can use that kind of magic. Frelia doesn't need to count to know who can use it.

"I'm afraid we'll have to pretend to report to His Royal Highness."

Frelia looked at the letter in her hand, while Sohana nodded in agreement.

"What do you think about us sending more people to Oro City?"

"That's good, but we might be asked to lead a team to the north next. If the Wings of Covering Heaven send too few people, it will be difficult to explain to His Royal Highness the Prince." Sohana said worriedly.

"This concerns the lives of many people. At least sending them to Oro City will be safer than on the battlefield. The new recruits we have trained over the years have never been on a real battlefield. I'm worried that those girls won't be able to adapt to such an environment."

Ordinary mercenary missions are different from the life-and-death battlefield. Although equally dangerous, the battlefield is more brutal. Frelia wants to leave more people for her organization.

"In that case, it's better to give the order quickly, otherwise we won't have time to think once the king's order comes down."

Just as the two were discussing how to keep the person, a voice interrupted their conversation from the other side of the Wizard Tower's stands.

"Isn't this Frelia? Long time no see."

It was also a female voice.

Frelia turned around following the sound and saw a green-haired woman wearing a tight black dress with large areas of her shoulders exposed walking towards her.

"Fatherine Blair." Frelia called out the woman whose lips were even painted with black lip gloss.

A leader from the Black Rose Organization in the north of the empire, a witch with whom she had some conflicts in many confrontations. She was of the same level as herself, perhaps a little stronger. In short, Frelia did not have the slightest good impression of this woman in her heart.

If they were not in the same Basaran Empire camp, perhaps it would be best for the two of them never to meet.

"It seems that you have a deep impression of me." The touching voice was enough to move the wizards around.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me," Frelia replied with a smile.

The last time the two met was probably seven or eight years ago. In such a long time, the other's appearance seemed to have not changed at all, and even became more seductive and sexy.

"I heard you almost died in the Tacoma incident a while ago, but you only managed to survive thanks to problems within the enemy ranks. You're really lucky."

"Unfortunately, I'm always lucky enough to survive."

"Oh"

A smile appeared on Fatherine's dark and charming lips.

"I really hope you'll be so lucky in future battles, otherwise I'll miss out on a lot of fun."

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."

Frelia answered without showing any weakness.

"snort"

There were other wizards around, and the two of them chatted little more than a few taunts at each other.

But at the moment when she turned around, the golden ornaments around her slender waist caught Frelia's eyes in the sunlight.

"This woman is still so arrogant."

"Sohana, you just noticed the belt around her waist, there's a sun emblem in the center."

"I didn't notice where."

"No, I just took a glimpse of it. If I remember correctly, it should be the emblem of the Sun King of the Adak region." Looking at Sohana Frelia beside her, she said in surprise.

On the other side, in Oro City

During the three days, Sean stayed at home during his free time and even moved his desk near the sandbox.

The purpose is to constantly observe the movements in the entire Oro City.

Once a large group of rebels appear in the city, he can send people to wipe them out as soon as possible.

Now is not the time to hide your weakness. Any red dots on the sand table represent danger, because you don't know whether the followers of the ancient gods will be mixed in, so red names are strange.
