[Day 60]
I woke up today and told the Water Corps to practice on their own before taking a bath. It hadn't even been that long since Yin had left, but I could sense her rushing back. Her disarray was practically leaking from her even though I couldn't see her.
"Seems Yin is panicking about sothing," I say to my wives, who were still waking up.
,m "Really? I guess that ans she found sothing that could potentially endanger the kingdom…" Kumo says.
"Mhmm… Well, I've been itching for a fight, but before that, spar today," Aika says, shifting her gaze towards .
"I don't mind, and I can tell from Homura's bad mood that she's going back to the prison," I say.
"Those incompetent… Thanks for sending over a few competent people for the job, but that doesn't an they are exempt from my training. They'll be begging for rcy by the ti I'm done with those old n," Homura says, a bright fire burning within her eyes.
"S-sure,"
We soon left the bath and changed into our respective clothes. Breakfast was as delicious as ever, and halfway through our relaxing al, I felt multiple presences enter the throne room. Since nobody besides , my wives, and so maids were present, I knew they were hiding inside the shadows.
"Ina, what are you doing?"
Kumo speaks up first, calling Yin out of the shadows.
"Miss Kumo, may I please speak with master-"
"Speak," I interrupt Yin.
"Forgive for coming back so early," Yin says, kowtowing at my feet.
"I said to speak. What made you co back so early,"
"We found a human kingdom, and when we started to investigate it, we found that they were gathering forces to launch a full-blown attack on Masters kingdom. Please gather forces for a retaliation," Yin says.
Ah… so the ti has co. But instead of us attacking the lowly human kingdoms, it will rather be those ants attacking us- wait, when did I ever think of humans as lowly? I know they might now stand a chance against , but I never thought of them as lowly or as ants?
"Whatever, I'll know the answer once I see the humans… Give all the information you have on the kingdom," I demand.
"As you wish. First of all, seven mighty humans are residing within the kingdom. Then there are five humans who are nowhere near as strong as them, but they might be able to take on so of the strongest foot soldiers within Masters kingdom," Yin explains.
"Tell truthfully, are the seven you speak of on par with my power?"
"No, of course not… but, if they work together, they might pose a threat to Master. B-but I'm sure you will win since Master is the best," Yin says.
I can't get too overconfident in my abilities. Humans can be knowledgeable, so I assu they scouted my kingdom before they even decided to attack my kingdom. My senses are sharp, but spies can quickly gather information if I don't have [Heightened 5 Senses and More] constantly on.
There are guards stationed along the wall and gates, but if there is a masterful assassin almost on par with my commanders, they could quickly gather information. I assu one of those seven is an assassin; otherwise, gathering information wouldn't have been easy.
"So, we have to split those seven up. I'll leave Zehar to those five that you ntioned. It should be a good experience for him," I say.
"I found so worthy commanders yesterday, so I need to narrow them down. I guess I'll call a eting right now… Wait, are you going to call a war council?" Kumo asks.
"Wait for a second… how many soldiers did you see were gathered?" I ask Yin.
"I saw about 20,000 soldiers, and they are still gathering,"
"Any more information?"
"I know what the seven powerful ones and five weaker ones are like. I know what they look like, their abilities, and their relationships,"
My mouth forms into a smile as I kneel to the kowtowing Yin.
"Good girl. I should give you a reward and an additional bonus… but first, sit down at the table and tell us all the information. The rest of you are dismissed, don't slack off on your training," I say, looking towards the corner of the room.
Many shadow tendrils extended from the dark corner and gave a slight nod before disappearing.
"I-I'm not worthy to sit at the sa table as Master," Yin says, continuing to kowtow.
"Then sit on your knees next to ,"
Yin quickly gets up and walks over to , kneeling right next to and rubbing her cheek against my leg.
"Okay, now tell us what you found out about them… also about the war council… maybe. If we were going to do one, it would be tomorrow,"
"Alright," Kumo replies.
"Yin, continue,"
"O-of course,"
Yin told the first and possibly the strongest out of the seven was the king of the kingdom. He was growing old, but his skills hadn't dulled in the slightest. There were even rumors that he was still growing in strength.
He wielded a giant sword at a stature of 6'3. Slightly tanned skin and every muscle of his was toned, and the pressure he exuded was sothing that Yin couldn't even get close to. Plus, she sensed that she would've been easily found out if she even tried to approach anywhere within 200 ters of him.
He had scars all over his body with short, dark brown hair and a massive scar going across his left eye.
Next was the Light Hero. He had long blond hair, pale white skin, and piercing yellow eyes that neared a slight golden color. He was muscular but nowhere near as built as the king. His height was about even 6 feet. The weapon that he perfected is the sword.
The next hero was the Fire Hero. He was a slim and cocky guy, reaching about 6'2 in height. He had long brown hair which was usually tied into a ponytail. His skin was said to have as many scars as the Light Hero, and it was a lovely tan shade. Also, he never treats anybody weaker than him nicely, and even his parents aren't exempt from his condescending attitude since they are much weaker than him. The weapon that he perfected is a spear.
He is also the older brother of one of the weaker five, which she ntioned after the seven.
Next was the Earth Hero. He was a supposed dwarf that only the seven that Yin told about knows. Everybody else thinks he's just a really short man. Short brown hair paired with green eyes represented the earth. He stands short at about 5'5, and his muscles were huge. He was the tank of the party, making him specialize in the shield.
Next, the current Priest of the kingdom, or the Healing Hero. She's about 5'7 in height with long flowing golden hair. Yin said that it looked to be sparkling. Paired with her sparkling hair were warm golden eyes and soft white skin. Her specific weapon of choice is her staff that she carries around, announcing that an overlord spirit blesses her staff.
She's also the backbone of the party, supporting anybody that loses confidence.
Next, the Dark Hero. Going off of Yin's description, I knew she was the one that did recon on my kingdom. She was an amazonian with black hair, pitch-black eyes, and tan skin. Yin was almost discovered multiple tis by her since it seems she has [Grand Shadow Magic]. And due to her assassin nature, she, of course, specializes in daggers, throwing knives, and surprisingly, a staff that she rarely uses.
Finally, the Wind Hero. She has long green hair, cold green eyes, and pale white skin. Yin had a lot of trouble finding out what she looked like since she wore so many layers of clothing all the ti. But after relentless trailing, she finally found out that she was an elf. Her weapon of choice was a bow that fit her style of fighting perfectly.
The one thing that gave it away to Yin was her long and pointed ears.
Next was the leader of the weaker 5, the next Light Hero. He was about 6 feet, with long blond hair, yellow eyes, and pale white skin. So citizens think that he is the brother of the current light hero, but they are not related whatsoever. His weapon of choice is, of course, the sword.
Next, the brother of the current Fire Hero and the soon-to-be Fire Hero. He is about 5'10 in height. Long brown hair, shiny brown eyes, and a smile that is the total opposite of his brother. His skin is white and rid of scars due to the countless battles he's participated in. His build is pretty skinny, but he makes up for it with his insane spear skills.
Next was the up-and-coming Earth Hero, who played the berserker and tank of the party. He is about 6'2 in height and a build that is massive, fitting for a tank and berserker. Short black hair and cold black eyes that look like obsidian.
Next was the sister of the soon to beco Earth Hero and the next Healing Hero. She is about 5'6 in height, and she has soft, pale skin, unlike her slightly tan brother. She had flowing blond hair and a warm aura, unlike her brother's profound atmosphere.
Finally, the next Wind Hero, the party's assassin, and the crush of the soon to beco Light Hero. She also likes him back, but they haven't confessed their feelings yet. She is about 5'7 in height, and she has beautiful, soft, white skin. Her black hair only goes halfway up her back, and she always has a cold expression on.
Sothing happened to the next Light Hero and next Wind Hero in the past, but Yin couldn't investigate any longer since she assud the kingdom would finish the army any ti soon.
"Okay… let's prepare then, shall we?"
