"Sir. We got a visitor for you who claimed to know you and that you have been rubbing her belly...?!" Rui was the one picked to return to deliver Phantom.
After all, she was a bit too suspicious, both in her way of speaking and in her appearance.
Noel’s eyebrows twitched before looking at the Phantom coldly. "So... I have been rubbing your belly?"
"Nya?! Sir... Allow me to explain." The Phantom panicked. "That’s only my way of letting them know that I’m not an enemy. It’s the simplest way. There’s no other meaning behind it! I swear!"
The Phantom was so panicked that she actually forgot the usual ’nya-nya’ when speaking.
It looked like the Phantom was really scared of him, or maybe it was due to Anna standing next to him. She had been glaring daggers at her as if saying, ’How dare you slander my husband?’
Noel let out a long sigh and said, "Anyway, I don’t think you are the type of person who will e here without any reason. So..."
"Yes-nya!" The Phantom nodded furiously, feeling slightly relieved. "Actually, I came here to relay a message from the Prophet-nya."
"From the Prophet? What is the message?"
"According to the Prophet, the enemy will be ing from the south. You might want to send reinforcements to the Atracaeca Kingdom."
"The south?" Noel was surprised, but Old Ru’s power allowed him to take a glimpse of the future, so this was not an empty warning.
"I’m told to get a further arrangement from you."
"How about the arrangement from the Beast Kingdom?"
"Arctic Queen and Vampire are staying in the kingdom, and all tribes are expected to fight. Venom Overlord and Andreas are facing their army and continue heading here. The Prophet was going to the west."
Noel shifted his gaze down, falling into deep thought. It was an unexpected arrangement, but Old Ru should be experienced enough to know what was best for the kingdom, especially with that precognitive ability of his.
It looked like the beast kingdom would have no problem in defending the attack, but he didn’t understand Old Ru’s arrangement for himself. Why would he go to the west? Most of the demons that hit the Muivell Kingdom and the Greenwood Kingdom came from the northwest after all.
"That’s right. Diva is also moving to the Greenwood Kingdom or even the Zaecuria Kingdom. She’d like to have you send someone to explain the situation to the humans."
Without hesitation, Noel called out the same name as the one Old Ru was thinking. "Dimitri."
"Sir!" Dimitri nodded with a serious expression.
"You take care of it. Although Rui has now bee the pillar, you are much more well-known currently, so I need you to handle that matter.
"Tell them that this is the reinforcement I have prepared for them. Just cooperate and don’t ask any questions. Those questions can be directed to me after the war is over."
"Understood." Dimitri nodded. "Should I ask Incetta to e as well? It’s her hometown as well."
"No, Incetta has a big role here. Besides, it’s better for her to remain here and not remind her of her hometown. It doesn’t seem like she has a lot of pleasant memories there."
"In that case, I’ll leave right away." Dimitri nodded.
Noel then turned to Phantom. "Since you are here, your next assignment will e directly from me. In other words, I will have you remain here.
"In that case, Laufey, I want you to bring 5 airships to reinforce the Atracaeca Kingdom. We don’t know the scale, but since it’s ing from the south, there’s a much more terrifying possibility that might happen."
"!!!" Laufey was surprised, but it might truly happen. "Do you mean the destruction of both kingdoms?"
"Yes. They are hit the hardest, so it will be hard for them to keep up. In addition..." Noel paused for a moment.
Laufey might not be enough, so he was thinking of something else.
"We know how powerful Old Ru’s precognitive ability is..." Anna suddenly opened her mouth. "If after sending Laufey and five more airships, it’s still not enough, then it’s clear who is ing to the Atracaeca Kingdom.
"I’m going to the Atracaeca Kingdom with Laufey. There are also Oscar and Milfa, so the fact that it’s not enough means a spirit king should go."
Noel couldn’t deny the possibility. It was true that this situation might be necessary.
"In that case, bring our flagship with you."
"Alright." Anna nodded. She couldn’t say no, fully aware of the airship’s ability. It looked like Noel had no intention of leaving yet.
And Laufey was sent to scout the area.
Thanks to the Phantom, he could send Laufey without hesitation.
"In that case, how about you go to the Zaecuria Kingdom first? With your status, they should accept the reinforcement without hesitation. Tell them about the present situation and then hand over the mand to Dimitri as you head to the Atracaeca Kingdom."
"Sounds good." Anna agreed without hesitation. Her instinct was tingling, but the sense of threat her instinct was giving was something she didn’t plan to back down from.
"Be careful, alright?"
"Of course." Anna winked playfully.
"Phantom. I want you to head west and monitor the situation there. I’m going to focus on the north first, so I will have to rely on you to notice something amiss.
"Rui, I want you to return to your original position. Before leaving, you visit the temple and tell Saintess Layla to get ready. The situation might be worse than we originally expected."
"Understood." Rui obeyed the order and took her leave.
"..." The room was starting to lose the people. It looked like the scale of the war was growing every second.
"It looks like the demon kings have prepared so much." Noel let out a long sigh.
"Don’t worry. In this important time, we should make sure the enemy doesn’t have a gap to exploit. Make sure you take a proper rest. At this rate, the demon kings might want to tire you out like this." Rose massaged his shoulders gently.
Noel smiled. "I’m still fine for now, but it’s time to launch a small counterattack."
