"I will now give the orders." Nathan's expression turned solemn. "Flora. Remains in the school and maintains the order in this place. In the end, the summoners are going to play an important role in the future. Try to keep them as long as possible before chasing them north. Make sure you get the Sage and retreat together with him.
"Noelle. You are to guide us to this land. We'll develop the land for farming. I'll try to co up with a long-term solution once we're there.
"Selena. You are to remain here and co to us once Sera is back. Also, I won't be able to bring a lot because of the ti, so bring everything.
"Alavenya. Tell your father about the upcoming disaster so that he is prepared for it. It's up to you whether you will co with us or stay with your father. I don't have the right to ask you to follow ."
Nathan turned to Vivian and Charlotte. "Master. We'll go and try to co up with the farm solution. We don't have a lot of ti, so we have to make it count. Charlotte. I'm counting on you as well."
"Yes." Charlotte nodded.
"Sure. Let's go right now." Vivian nodded. "Once we succeed, we'll co up with the barrier problem."
"In that case, disperse."
Flora imdiately dragged Noelle out as if she wanted to say sothing.
Vivian returned to her mansion with the fastest speed and summoned her familiars to grab everything they needed. After all, there were a lot of important books and items that might be useful in the future.
Only Nathan, Selena, and Alavenya were left in the room. Experience tales at empire
Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Sorry. I should have told you about the fairy queen."
"Let's not talk about it." Selena shook her head. "I know that you are probably aiming for sothing other than the marriage itself. Well, we can talk about it once the situation stabilizes. So, just go. Don't worry about and Sera."
"Thanks." Nathan smiled. He was really grateful for Selena's understanding.
Alavenya couldn't help but ask, "Nathan. There's sothing I want to ask first. Don't you need manpower for this?"
Nathan thought for a mont. "Well, yes. However, I'm planning to have Noelle as an agent to get the manpower we need. Anyway, just go. It's not the ti for you to hold a grudge with your father. If we ever succeed and you need so food to maintain your rcenary group, just tell about it. I will share so food."
Alavenya fell silent for a mont. She clenched her fists before saying, "In that case, I will bring you the manpower you need."
Without waiting for Nathan's response, Alavenya just left the two behind.
"She… is probably going to convince her father to co, right? Did you just trick her into bringing the rcenary group?"
Nathan shook his head. "She was the one offering it. So, why not? Having her father with us can increase our protection."
"Understandable." Selena chuckled.
"Well, I should apologize to you first."
"To ? Why? Why do you even need to apologize? Charlotte again? We can talk about this later."
"No." Nathan sighed. "At this rate, the Ashton family will definitely collapse. And I don't know if your uncle will be alive or not. In other words, it'll be close to impossible for you to take revenge.
"In addition, because we're pulling back, it's going to be hard to find your father because his location will be much further away due to the expansion of the alien territory.
"Even though I told them that we had a year before the frontline collapsed, three months were what I predicted to be the most possible outco.
"After all, even if the Azilia Kingdom could do it, the other kingdoms would face problems. In the end, we didn't have enough people to feed multiple kingdoms.
"As a result, it would be better to retreat right away and force a huge migration to the north as soon as possible. This way, we can conserve most of our forces. Once this crisis is over, we have the chance to retake our territory back.
"That's why I'm sorry. One year is probably enough to kill a warrior class alien, but three months are not."
Selena was shaken. If she were to be honest, this problem didn't even appear in her mind. Yet Nathan still considered it and made such a heavy voice.
Selena just hugged Nathan while saying, "It's fine. I couldn't care less about my uncle. On the other hand, my father has been out there for such a long ti. Waiting a few more years won't change much."
"Anyway, I will be going first."
"Yes." Selena nodded before leaving a peck on his cheek. "I will catch up soon with Sera."
Nathan nodded and rushed outside.
The only thing he needed to be worried about would be the foolish decision of the king. There was a chance for him to make a ss, which would result in multiple rebellions and the nobles fleeing the territory and abandoning their people.
It would be the worst-case scenario when that happened.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the people were not so foolish as Nathan read in novels.
The king, Julius, nodded his head. "That's good. If Flora and Noelle stay by his side, we can still get so cooperation from him. Sullivan. You did good.
"However, the problem still doesn't change. What are we going to do with the kingdom?
"If all kingdoms are going to experience famine, it will cause chaos everywhere. The citizens will feel their backs have touched the corner and will do everything they can to get food and other things, even if it ans killing each other.
"That's sothing I don't want to see. In addition, the soldiers will have a hard ti fighting against the aliens with the supply getting cut off and their families experiencing the famine.
"Should we evacuate the entire kingdom right away and conserve at least 80% of our force and population?"
