"Thank you for helping us, Lord Erasmus." Lady Callista and Michael bowed their heads towards the Lord of Death, who had co into their ti of need.
Erasmus nodded. "I'll accept your gratitude because we have the sa enemy. However, make sure to thank Zion. He's the one who made this all possible."
"Of course," Lady Callista replied. "He is, after all, the savior of the Leventis Family."
She then sighed as she looked at the countless Undead Erasmus had summoned to protect her family.
Those who had died in battle had also beco the Lord of Death's new subordinates, with the exception of the retainers of the Leventis Family, who fought valiantly to protect them.
Lady Callista planned to give them all a hero's burial and make sure to support their families for life.
Once she was done assessing the damages to their property, as well as dealing with the aftermath of this invasion, she would then consult with Zion and Arthur as to how they would deal with the Ashford and Stallard Clans in the Sirius Continent.
Half an hour later, the representatives of the Remington Clan, the Smith Family, and Lockwood Family arrived at the Leventis Residence after confirming that the battle was over.
They all paid respect to Erasmus, who ignored them all and simply continued to slap and torture Aaron and Norman in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry we didn't co to help you, Lady Callista," Elijah Remington, who was Gerald's best friend, said with an apologetic gaze. "We are helpless as well."
Since he was a mber of the Remington Family that had close ties to the Leventis Family, the majority agreed that it should be Elijah who should co to talk to Lady Callista and congratulate her for winning the battle.
"Don't think too much, Elijah," Lady Callista replied with a smile. "If the sa thing happened to the Remington Clan, we would have also watched from the sidelines.
"Fighting against two Monarchs is simply courting death, especially since Trevor and the other Thrones are not here at the mont."
The representatives of the Smith and Lockwood Families felt a huge weight removed from their shoulders after hearing Lady Callista's reply.
They then asked if there was anything that they could do to assist her, even volunteering to help repair the damages that were caused by the recent battle.
Lady Callista thanked all of them and agreed to so of their proposals.
She knew that the three families were trying their best to form a stronger relationship with the Leventis Family, so she decided to throw them an olive branch, which they happily accepted.
News of what transpired in the Leventis Residence started to spread like wildfire, reaching Lawrence, who was waiting for news inside his office.
"What? Callista is now a Monarch?" Lawrence asked his subordinate in disbelief. "Michael is a Throne, and the Lord of Death, Erasmus, helped them deal with Aaron and Norman?"
"Yes, Sir!" the soldier reported. "I also don't believe it, but one of our captains in the Aldebaran Continent has confird this news. There is no mistake about it."
Lawrence sat on his chair before heaving a long and deep sigh.
"So that's why Zion asked to stay here. He truly has everything under his control," Lawrence shook his head helplessly. "As expected of him."
The Grand Marshal of the Central Governnt not only received the news of the Leventis Family surviving a calamity, but he was also inford that Zion had repelled the Garuda Faction from their march toward the southwest of the continent.
With two Monarchs gone, the balance of power in Pangea had been broken.
Those aspiring to beco part of the Prestigious Families definitely wouldn't let this matter slide and would ally themselves with the Leventis Family to gain their protection and benefits.
They would not care even if they beca their direct subordinates because it was worth it!
Lady Callista was now a Monarch, while Michael was a Throne.
Everyone was shocked because the Leventis Family hid their true strength, making them wonder if Arthur had also beco a Monarch.
But even if he was still a Throne, that didn't change the fact that the Leventis Family was now the strongest family in the world.
Whether it had a Monarch and two Thrones, or two Monarchs and a Throne, they had long surpassed the power of the rest of the Monarch Clans.
'One Sovereign Family, Three Monarch Clans, and Nine Prestigious Families,' Lawrence muttered. 'Fortunately, we are now allied with the Leventis Family and have strong ties through marriage. My granddaughter really has a good eye for people.
'Although she is not Zion's first wife, that doesn't change the fact that she will be married to him.'
Lawrence then glanced at the reports about the battle of the Cygni Continent on his desk.
The Grand Marshal of the Central Governnt sighed, thinking things would be even more perfect if humanity also won the war in the Cygni Continent.
However, Zion said that humanity would have to make concessions if they wished to keep a portion of the Cygni Continent habitable for humans.
"We will not win this war, but we will not lose either. At most, we will have a compromise, and that is the best outco for humanity."
Those were Zion's words, and Lawrence believed in them.
As to how the war would progress from this point onward, only the teenage boy might know.
The North and Center Fortresses of the continent had already fallen, with the Defenders falling back to their second line of defense.
Only those at the South remained intact, for it was protected by the Planar Mountain Range, where Thirteen's massive insectoid army was stationed.
While many things were reaching their conclusions, Claude looked out of the window of his office and sighed.
"You're right, Clark," Claude said softly. "We shouldn't make Zion Leventis our enemy. Good thing that I listened to you."
Now that his father had been captured, and Norman also suffered a similar fate, both the Ashford and Stallard Clans had closed off their borders and waited anxiously for Lady Callista and the rest of the Leventis Family to co knocking on their doors for revenge.
