"So this is what you're searching for from the Greenwood Kingdom." Rose squinted her eyes, examining the compass. Just like she originally expected, it was like a normal broken compass. People could easily mistake this as junk.
"Yeah. Nevertheless, we are getting this for free, so..." Anna shrugged.
"Free, huh? We are already planning for the expansion to other kingdoms. They are bound to happen in a year or two, but..."
"But they don't know." Anna nodded. "The fact they don't know about this gives us this compass. As Noel said, information is the most important and powerful weapon. Without them knowing about this compass or our expansion plan, they end up giving this compass."
Rose nodded with a serious expression. "So what are we going to do next?"
"We will..." Anna paused for a moment and closed her eyes. She channeled her spiritual energy into the compass while thinking about the closest Supreme Devil Organization's branch.
She didn't know how to utilize this compass, so she just tried to use her spiritual energy. It was said the compass would lead her to that exact location.
And it did.
The broken compass that kept moving as if it couldn't find the world's magnetic field ended up pointing in a single direction.
"This is..." Rose looked surprised.
Anna put down the compass, confirming that the compass was pointing northwest.
"I'm thinking about the nearest location of the Supreme Devil Organization branch. And this is the result." Anna's expression turned solemn. "Call Dimitri right away."
"Yes!" Rose nodded.
It didn't take too long for Rose to return with Dimitri.
Obviously, Dimitri didn't understand the power of the broken compass.
However, Anna simply said, "Dimitri. I need you to move in a straight line in this direction," while pointing at the compass. "This includes the buildings in our city."
"Understood." Dimitri nodded and turned into a shadow, leaving the room.
Rose asked, "Have you told Noel about this?"
"Yeah. He gave me the full right to do it." Anna nodded while adding inwardly, 'But that's because he doesn't want his fate to be tied into this Wheel of Destiny.'
"I see." Rose nodded, having no more qualms.
Fortunately, Dimitri worked extremely fast as one would expect from a former top assassin.
It only took him a day to actually find that sign, which turned out to be located not far from their city.

While the demons were still looming around, they could use one of the villages as the foremost point for the 'military training.'
By using this as an excuse, Anna mobilized the Ardagan family's soldiers.
Howard could use the demons as training partners for the soldiers. He had seen how effective the combination of soldiers and rune magicians fighting together was, so this was perfect for them to know each other.
Unfortunately, it still took a week for Howard to reach the designated spot.
Within that time, Anna had sent a letter to the Demon Banner Army.
"Sir. It seems that they have found a branch of the Supreme Devil Organization and are currently asking for our assistance." Milfa reported.
"Hmm?" Oscar squinted his eyes. "What unit is currently on standby?"
"Shale can go at any time. In fact, if not for you requesting him to remain near the headquarters due to the current situation, he would have gone to the demon territory."
"In that case, tell Shale to lead his squads to assist the Ardagan family. Make sure to exterminate those pests. Just capture several of them for information."
"Understood." Milfa nodded, acknowledging the order.
