Kelton - the Great Sage, who holds the title of High-Sage, is a level 87 Great Mage who can use 8th-tier magic along with 8th-level or higher skills.
Walton - the Great Swordsman titled Infinite Blade is an Lv.89 Swordsman who has at least 5 Sword Skills above Lv.8 of A rank and one Sword Skill above Lv.5 of S rank.
los - the Great Summoner, who holds the title of Beastmaster, is a level 85 summoner. Though almost the sa as a mage, summoners are of a very different nature. They naturally summon beasts or monsters to fight in their stead. los in particular had signed deals with many strong beasts, so of which were in Lv.90s.
So these three together might have a chance to defeat Shin - at least that's what Balton thought and after much deliberation ca to that conclusion.
However, Balton also ntioned to Levos that Shin had strong allies by his side. It was evident from the Clan Wars that his allies weren't pushovers. So unless he was alone, they had no chance to kill him.
This forced Levos to conclude that it was only now that they could kill Shin. That's because, the only ones around him were so Shadow Wolves who didn't seem much higher than Lv.60. Thus, he didn't see them as a threat.
'For so reason, this wolf has left the forest and is heading towards our kingdom...'
'The Supre Celestials would not help such a tiny human Kingdom as they have nothing to gain from it, so we have no choice but to follow Balton's plan and have the Great Three fight the Wolf.', Levos concluded.
"..."
'If only negotiation was an option...', Levos sighed at the thought.
Then he clenched his fist and looked at Balton.
"Alright, the wolf will probably reach Reonoa in about ten minutes..."
"Ten minutes!?"
"Excuse ?" Balton was surprised when he heard that.
That was because ten minutes is nothing more than a few hundred tres from the outer wall. That ant the wolf was very close, which he wasn't aware of.
"Balton, I command you to gather los and Walton imdiately and go to the starting town."
"Kelton will be there waiting for your arrival."
"Only..."
"No matter what happens, don't fail to kill the beast..." Levos said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Balton bowed again and quickly left the castle with Wendy to imdiately pass on the orders to Walton and los, who were stationed in the easternmost and westernmost towns of Levonia, respectively.
"Kelton..."
"I think you should depart right away..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, but what about your safety?" Kelton asked as a precaution without really caring.
"Ha..."
"Do not worry about ..."
"With all the guards here, I will be safe…", he said.
"Well, if that's what you wish," Kelton also left the castle.
"Sigh..."
"If only that stupid Balton hadn't botched the situation..."
"If only the wolf had never appeared..."
"If only the Supres hadn't given the orders..."
"..."
'If only we were stronger than the Supre Celestials...'
"..."
'Gemos...'
'I really miss you...'
'If only you were here, we wouldn't have anything to fear...' and having said this, Levos closed his eyes to rest a bit and recover from all the stress.
…
As the spacial distortion cleared, Shin felt a little relieved. Now there was no one spying on them, so nothing felt awkward anymore.
He turned back and looked at the shadow wolves who awaited his command.
'Hmm...'
'We're out of the woods.'
'If we walk leisurely, it won't even take ten minutes to reach their main gate...'
'However, I have no intention of going to their Kingdom.'
'Why should we go there when we can avoid them by another route?', he wondered, discovering a better route a bit off the kingdom that led to the sa destination.
"Good job guys. Let's move forward.", he said.
At once, everyone stood up and walked behind him.
They had no ti to waste.
Actually, Shin wanted to deal with Balton so he kind of hoped for him to be there instead of the other two generals. But things didn't go the way he wanted.
Regardless, he and the shadow wolves marched forward in a different direction.
As already ntioned, there was one main road that led directly to the gates of Levonia, but there were other roads that connected different places to Levonia.
Shin and the gang were quietly going to leave if no one ssed with them, but fie, soone had to screw things up.
Balton, who was supposed to gather los and Walton, had reported with a magic orb and explained the situation to them.
Kelton had already left the capital and was only 20 minutes away from reaching the starting city.
los was on the westernmost edge, near which was the route that Shin took.
He could have taken other routes, but the said route seed much more direct than the other curved ones.
los was standing by the outer wall lecturing to a couple of idiot soldiers when Balton contacted him.
"Sir los, His Majesty has ordered you to work with Sir Kelton and Walton to deal with the Wolf Shin," Balton said.
He then further explained what los had to do.
los, who was extrely loyal, imdiately wanted to leave his post and rush to Reonoa, but even before Balton finished the ssage, los sensed the presence of several monsters, more specifically, the presence of the Shadow Wolves.
A look at the ground showed him that Shin and the Shadow Wolves were taking a detour. They had already travelled about one-fourth of the Kingdom's length.
He imdiately inford Balton of the situation.
"Looks like the Wolf is taking a detour."
"He has no intention of attacking us and probably just wants to reach the other end."
"His entire concentration would be on escaping this place…"
"It would take him nearly 90 minutes to traverse the whole kingdom properly and I think we need to attack him before that," los said.
Balton understood the task and imdiately reported it to Kelton, who now had to return and join the East Side. The sa was true for Walton, who had just set off and now had to make a detour.
