Chapter 163 The Current Situation Of Alzania(2)

-Click.

Ashia, who had just crossed the entrance door of the strategic room, could see the three leaders sitting silently with mixed expressions. Anyone could understand the complex feelings they were currently feeling.

Alvine's mysterious maid turned out to be a divine goddess who was the most powerful among them. They had even begun to have suspicions about Alvine's identity and power. Otherwise, how could they explain the fact that a mage of spiritual rank is capable of being the master of a goddess?

(AN: They don't know that Alvine had reached the holy rank since he had made his breakthrough on the planet of the Punishers.)

​ "I'm sorry to have made you wait too long, cases of the utmost importance had held me back." She says these words after taking the chair next to her master's empty chair.

"It is understandable. Don't worry about that, we are currently going through more complex periods than before." Yury nonchalantly gave this answer without lingering on it. "Now that I think about it, why do you always avoid sitting on this chair? Even in Mr. Dragnar's office, you always take the empty chair that is in front of his chair. Does this have a particular meaning for you?" She continued with this question in order to start the conversation without too much pressure.

Ashia looked at the empty chair next to her with nostalgic eyes before shaking her head. "No one has the right or the qualification to take his place, even if it is a simple chair detail." She announced with a solemn mood.

Even if her words seemed nonchalant, the solemn presence she inadvertently imposed on the sovereigns was such that they could not feel comfortable with her.

"Sigh, don't be so tense, we are always allies, at least, as long as a traitor comes out of nowhere among us." She continued her words with this warning while her scarlet pupils roamed the whole room.

"Hu... Um, you don't have to worry about that, the reason for our presence in this room is because we did not agree with the methods used by the former empress and her daughter, the current empress of demons." Cheera stammered in turn by reassuring Ashia.

"Hmm, in this case, I have no other worries about it." She nodded slightly. "Good, if you don't mind, we can start our strategic meeting."

But before the others agreed, Lilias, the fairy queen, flew toward Ashia with a quiet look filled with curiosity. "One minute, before I start, I would like to know something that escapes us all. How did you manage to reach such a power level in such a short time? I think my question is the question that all others ask themselves. If you have the method, I think it's better to share it with everyone; it will allow us to increase our chances of winning this war without too much loss." Nonchalant and carefree, as always; that was her personality.

Of course, she had not lied about this detail, but her question was still rude and reckless according to the others who cursed her internally for being so reckless.

But contrary to her expectations, Ashia made only a slight carefree sigh before gave answered nonchalantly her question. "Queen of fairies, Lilias, if such methods as you say earlier could exist, then do you think I would have let thousands of our people perish in this way on our previous battlefields? The only thing you need to know is that I had always been a mage of this rank from the first day of our meeting. For reasons that don't concern u, I simply couldn't reveal my strength and power level."

At the same time, as she finished her explanation, Yury's voice resounded at the other end of the round table, which was made of gold. "But what about the others, Dame Sabrina and Nicco? Have they also hidden their forces? And above all, Mr. Dragnar, he is a more powerful mage than you, am I right?"

"As I told you before, that's all I can tell you. If you want to know more about them, go ask them the question you just asked me. Sigh, I can understand that you are curious about us, but that's not a reason to waste more time." She announced by ending the sessions with questions that seemed endless.

"Um, you're right. Our current concern is the war that seems to be becoming more fierce than I ever imagined. According to our spies who were sent on enemy bases, Lord Valskar and the demons are trying to conclude a non-aggression agreement after the defeat of the two divine Magi against her. This means that we are more likely to be attacked soon." Cheera began the conversation with these words that were like a sonic bomb for the ears of the two sovereigns.

-Bam

Yury, angry and surprised, smashed the table with an angry and agitated air when she heard Cheera's revelation. "How is this possible? This is necessarily false information. Our spies were either corrupt or arrested by enemy camps; otherwise, we will not have such absurd information." She thundered, refusing to accept the truth of the news.

"Sigh, unfortunately, it's neither, the information is as clear and true as the sun above us. I had personally sent some elite spies from the Beta Squad to confirm the veracity of the information." Cheera sadly shook his head, giving more explanations.

They all knew what it meant, a non-aggression agreement does not mean that the two opposing sides became allies, but they could not chase away the probability that the two opposing sides would enter a hunting competition to absorb their forces to prepare to intercept future battles. This was one of the most basic strategies to increase their military forces.

"In this case, we can no longer afford to retire longer. In your opinion, who will these two sides move first to invade us? The Valskars? Where are the demons? In all likelihood, and if I rely on logic, I would say that it is the demons who will be our next enemies. Since they need to restore their strength after one of their divine Magi has been seriously injured by her." After calming her ardor, the bloody Empress analyzed the situation with extraordinary coldness.

"Hmm, I think the same thing. But there are still too many shadows. First, why didn't Lord Valskar finish her enemies after weakening them? She can't be so lenient, right? And the second anomaly is the human girl who had left the forest with a divine dragon. She had the portrait of your master with her saying that she wanted to bring him with her. Why? Is that one of your acquaintances, Miss Ashia?" Cheera in turn intervened to give her opinion.

Best

As for Lilias, she did not pay the slightest attention to others, since her chair (Alvine) was no longer there, she had found another more comfortable chair, Ashia's head.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for their opinion on this, Ashia has not yet given her opinion. Instead, she asked for the opinion of Lilias who was sitting on her head in her fairy shape. "What do you think, queen of fairies?"

"Hmm? I think the reason why Lord Valskar did not complete them was only that she was also injured or another reason had prevented her from doing so." Upon hearing her nonchalant opinion, Cheera and Yury had their eyes widened when they realized that she had been paying attention to the meeting from the beginning.

"Sigh, but according to our information, Lord Valskar had not suffered any serious injury that prevented her from completing them. She had only a few scratches after fighting a fierce battle against two divine Magi." Yury shook her head slightly with disagreement.

"Well, after hearing your opinions, I think only the fairy queen is right. First, this mysterious blonde-haired girl who is housed in your apartments with her divine beast is not one of us. This is the first time that I see her, and the beast that accompanied her with his humanoid form of a middle-aged old man is not a dragon, but a Wyvern that is the derivative of the dragon race. And she is probably not our ally or our enemy, at least, for now." Ashia's soft voice resounded in the room after hearing the sovereigns' conclusions.

"Second, the reason why Lord Valskar had let the two divine Magi escape is probably because she had exhausted all her divine energy, which requires more time to restore it. Even if she seemed to be in good condition after their battles, it was only to provide erroneous information to her enemies. Hence the reason for her agreement with the momentary "ceasefire". Believe me, the Valskars are more ruthless and are beings thirst for blood and wars; they will never spare their enemies and never make themselves, never allies!"

"Thirdly, when you say that demons will soon knock on our doors to submit to us to them is not quite true too. The Valskars will probably be the first to make this decision because of the transformative skill of their queen, which is Lord Valskar. As you all know, she can transform her enemies into Valskar who will be loyal to her regardless of their wishes, after their transformations because she can also replace their memories and thus change their goals." She ended her analysis with this brief speech.

"..."

No one in the room had been able to find arguments strong enough to refute her words.

After a few moments of silence, Lilias was the first to break the silence in the room. "So if I understood correctly, in your opinion, we will have to fight against two camps at the same time?" She asked curiously without changing her jovial expression.

"In the worst case, yes. But if the demons have the same information about Lord Valskar's unique transformative competence, I think we will not have to worry about being attacked by both sides. Instead, demons will probably offer us a common alliance to deal with the greatest threat first." She revealed the background of her thought after hearing Lilias' question, which strangely seemed to be smarter and more open-minded than expected, despite her childish behavior.

But her hypotheses were like an electric shock to the minds of sovereigns. They had never pushed their thoughts to that level.

But hearing that the demons will come to offer them a common front alliance, the bubbling anger they had kept in them suddenly exploded. It was more visible for Yury who was held prisoner by them. "It is out of the question that we go with these traitors and their twisted thoughts! I still prefer to die valiantly on the battlefield than to ally myself with traitors who massacred thousands of my faithful soldiers just to make a united front against the Valskars." She firmly pronounced her words without the slightest hesitation while her eyes transmitted endless murderous lights.

Although Cheera and Lilias did not give their opinions on the issue, their eyebrow frowns coupled with their black anchor faces attested to their disagreement.

Seeing their anger, a sublime smile emerged on Ashia's lips. "Unfortunately for you, that's what we're going to do."

"What?!"

"Please Calm down. We have two good reasons to do so. One, because apart from the soldiers of my master who are divided into four large elite squads, namely, the Delta squad, the Gamma squad, the Beta squad, and finally, the Alpha squad, each of which is composed of two thousand elite soldiers; we do not have other armed forces that can emerge victorious in a battle against the Valskars. Two, if you want your revenge, then listen to my suggestion to the end without losing your cool. I am that at the end of my explanation, you will be eager to start with my strategy."
