"Brother Ery!"
The beautiful woman with brown hair who enthusiastically jumped into his arms was Tatyana, the six-tailed fox. The reason she could stir Ery's blood was simply because she was part of his wolf pack. Her arrival felt like a reunion with a long-lost family mber.
Shortly after Tatyana's lively entrance, two more figures joined them. One was Andrei, the winged wolf, and the other was Magus Yuria, the fifth and youngest wife of Lord Izta. The trio had just completed their cargo transport errands for Terra and rushed back upon learning of Ery's return. Their presence added to the atmosphere of reunion and camaraderie.
Except for Magus Rosia, Camilla, and Grisa, who were still fulfilling their duties with the Magus Alliance at the frontline, all the inner mbers of the Terra and Earth faction had gathered. Ery decided it was ti to share his plans. Assigned the dedicated role of Earth's caretaker, the safety of the planet beca fully entrusted to Ery and his allies until the proposed duel with the Kronos faction.
Recognizing Earth's status as a lower realm and the inherent limitations on its resources for defense, Ery knew that seeking external aid was crucial. He held hope that Terra would erge as the central hub for coordinating and strengthening these collaborative efforts. "We need more n, more resources, and greater access to information," Ery declared, outlining the plan ahead.
Magus Sheena, acting on the directive from Zodiac City, offered her full support and resources to aid Earth. With the authority granted to her, she could provide the necessary information and arrange for a dedicated squad of magus to provide ongoing assistance. The old Ery might have hesitated at such an offer, but with the lives of his friends hanging in the balance, he inquired, "How many?"
Magus Sheena responded, "One squad of 5 magus for an extended period and another three squads on standby for ergencies."
These squads comprised Zodiac City's half-blood magus, each possessing the strength equivalent to at least two magus alliance squads.
Magus Sheena went a step further, offering additional support in the form of saint-level warriors. However, the effectiveness of these reinforcents was constrained by Earth's limited outposts, primarily situated on the moon.
Acknowledging the imdiate need for external assistance, Ery accepted the offer from Zodiac City. However, he viewed this as a short-term solution. To secure Earth's safety in the long run, they needed to build their own force. This necessitated a comprehensive plan involving recruitnt, training, and preparation for the challenges ahead. Magus Silica, displaying unwavering dedication, volunteered to spearhead this critical aspect of their defense strategy.
Ery emphasized another crucial aspect of their preparation: nurturing the talents native to Earth. While granting non-magus individuals Earthlink access to the magus universe was a challenging and costly endeavor, the importance of developing their own warriors, even without such access, couldn't be overstated. Earth needed to be prepared for the imminent calamity on the horizon.
The group collectively devised plans to address their imdiate concerns, but the pressing issue that lood ahead was securing resources, predominantly in the form of funds.
Despite the significant strides made in the developnt of Terra City, the Terra faction's financial landscape, while improving, still fell short of the substantial capital required for their ambitious ventures. While they boasted an average monthly surplus of five million spirit stones, it proved insufficient to elevate their operational capacity to the desired level.
In response to this financial challenge, Klea, sporting a smile, quipped, "Fortunately, we have a famous apothecary among us." Ery acknowledged the potential of upgrading his rlin Apothecary Shop as a strategic move to bolster their financial reserves.
However, Ery's role as the designated caretaker of Earth presented a constraint. Prolonged absences from Earth were not feasible, particularly with the three-day travel ti between Terra and Earth. This limitation emphasized the critical importance of prioritizing the setup of the Khaos gate—a vital link that would significantly reduce travel ti and facilitate seamless coordination between Terra and Earth.
Ery faced the daunting task of locating a site rich in spirit energy on Terra. Magus Celica, knowledgeable about the planet, provided half a dozen notable locations. Ery, could only hope that one of these sites would prove suitable for their crucial undertaking.
As the eting concluded, Ery geared up for a night of exploration, accompanied by Klea. Utilizing dozens of [Spatial Gates] spells, the duo traversed thousands of miles to reach the specified locations. To their disappointnt, none of the six sites exhibited the unique and potent spiritual energy found on Earth.
"Seriously… none at all?" Ery expressed his frustration.
Chututlu, the Khaos guardian, confird about each of the locations marked.
"Can we do that? In Terra's castle yard? That will be convenient."
