ReinforcementsBardi wasn’t the only place in the world at war. Although people were astonished at the news that several Main Gods had perished simultaneously, new information also arrived from other battlefields.
Of all the new information, the most attention-grabbing piece of news was the headline “In the battle of Sidi, an undead army from another dimension suddenly ambushed the ogres and helped San Antonio’s human army obtain a major victory.”
The news report also said that “These undead say that they are the remnants of an ancient human empire who are now returning to the mortal plane. They will be establishing their home in the extreme northern ice islands, and have already established a formal diplomatic alliance with the Northlands Mist Alliance.”
Undead Emperor Sandro and Undead Emperor Undead General had finally made their decision and clearly expressed what side they were on.
The extreme northern ice islands referred to in the report didn’t even have an actual name on the maps. They were located even farther north than the Northlands were. There actually was another continent across from the icy sea there, but due to the extremely low temperatures, only polar bears and ice elemental creatures could survive there… and now the undead would be establishing their country there.
“Adam can probably also live there. He’s basically family with the native snow ogres there.”
Margaret adjusted her eyeglasses as she spoke. Although her tone sounded calm, I could tell that she had a grudge against Adam. It seemed that her previous trip to the far north with him hadn’t given her a good impression.
Still, it seemed more like a curse than having no sense of direction to be able to get lost to such an extent to go all the way to the ice islands in the far north.
I heaved a sigh of relief at Margaret and Adam’s return. It was always good to have trustworthy allies by my side. I also received support from the Mist Alliance together with their return.
Margaret became busy with all the rescue work regarding the battle’s survivors right after she arrived. However, Adam acted the same as always. He had too much free time on his hands, and caused trouble everywhere. Currently, he had his head lowered as he weaved what appeared to be an extravagant feathered broom.
However, we all knew that this was nothing more than a mistaken impression.
“…Um, Adam, could you please stop causing trouble? God Envoy Arthur has already complained to me about you. Even if a Seraphim has lots of feathers, they’ll still go bald if you keep pulling out all the feathers.
“It’s just a little warmup. I can barely take it when I think about the upcoming major battle! It’s rare to meet such a powerful opponent. I don’t even need to worry about accidentally killing them… Yep, I really should go warm up with the Seraphims! I’m leaving now, and I won’t be back for lunch.”
Adam kept getting more excited, to the point where even flames began to rise from his hair. It seemed that he wanted to have a major fight against the angels as he hurriedly left.However, God Envoy Arthur had been coming to complain to me every day recently. If he saw me with a female angel slave… I probably should avoid causing a diplomatic incident at such a time.
“You can ask Adam to purchase one for you. It will also be really fun to watch the joke that happens.”
I paused in surprise at Harloys’ suggestion, but then immediately started laughing as I gave her a big thumbs up. What a wonderful idea!
I immediately started writing a letter which I would have a familiar take to Adam. The letter was also created from a special paper which would destroy itself after the letter was read.
“…My friend, please select a young and beautiful female angel servant for me. I’ll help stall Margaret for you…”
As everyone knew, I was someone who never lied.
“Margaret, give me some face and let Adam go this time. Men always need to have something fresh. This isn’t being disloyal, but rather just a normal male desire. At the very least, he hasn’t been buying the recently popular angel slaves.”magic
“…Your face? Is that worth any money?”
Margaret chuckled coldly while leaving with mage staff in her hand. It seemed that I had only added fuel to the fire rather than calming her down. Her expression indicated that she was soon about to go on a rampage.
Alright then, I had already tried to “stall” Margaret, but unfortunately I had failed. So, Adam, please hope for the best.
“Roland, it seems like you’re holding quite a grudge against Adam?”
“…I was busy fighting a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, while he was busy outside having a date with Margaret and doing whatever he pleased. The moment that he saw me again, he started telling me about his fun travels with such a delighted expression. He even kept saying ‘it’s such a pity that you weren’t there, you would have had lots of fun as well.’ What would you think?”
“…I understand.”
Harloys nodded and continued to pretend to sleep.
My room was filled with the sound of my pen writing on paper. More than 10 letters were on my desk, with some addressed to me and some that I had written. I was extremely busy over the past few days, trying to summon all the combat strength here that I could.
Harloys suddenly raised her head as both of us simultaneously glanced at the window. Apart from the familiar starlight, someone we had been waiting for had finally arrived.
“Sandro, you must have made a decision since you’ve come here.”
