Beast Kingdom.
lissa had finally reunited with her fellow elders. She couldn't help but ask, "I have been briefed on the way. It looks like our kingdom is facing a perilous situation."
All the elders had gathered for this discussion. Old Ru rose from his seat. "Since lissa has returned, let's begin with this eting.
"Our situation doesn't look good. It's true that we have more strength than even the current Ardagan family, but our opponents are clear, right, Arctic Queen?"
lissa raised her eyebrows before nodding her head. She had gotten that information thanks to Noel. "Thanks to Sir Noel, we have confird the identity of the attacker. There are two potential suspects.
"The first one is Supre Devil. This Supre Devil's identity is shrouded in mystery, but after gathering all the clues, he has reached a conclusion that this Supre Devil is actually one of the commandants that the ancestor of the Ardagan family had.
"I don't know the thod, but it's clear that such a person is still alive. And it looks like he has grown comparable to us or even beyond that.
"The second suspect is the third prince of the Muivell Kingdom, Victor. He is suspected to have swallowed the demon king in its original form, resulting in the demon king taking over his body."
"A demon king?" Phantom gasped. "Are you sure?"
Old Ru nodded in understanding. "It looks like the record is correct. After isolating myself in our library, I found out that Alexander Ardagan had failed to take down the demon kings."
"But wasn't he known as the one who slew the demon king?"
"Yes, but that's not the whole truth. There was one big reason he failed to kill the demon king. Although it was stated vaguely, I assud our ancestor ant that there was another demon king helping that demon king."
"!!!" The elders widened their eyes in shock.
"Are you saying we're going to fight two demon kings?"
"Well, you pointed it out back then, but now you confirm it…"
Old Ru nodded. "Yes. It's no wonder Anna Stargaze has gone to get so crystals. Thanks to it, we decided to give those ancient demons we've spotted to her so that she could grow stronger.
"There must be a reason for him to choose her. She must have enough potential to beco a spirit king like him. The problem is whether we have enough ti or not.
"Right now, Phantom has found several ancient demons closing in. After tracing back the history, the demon king was aware of our existence.
"At that ti, Alexander Ardagan rescued our ancestors to this place to settle down. During the final battle, Alexander Ardagan ended up coming to our rescue because the demon king attacked us.
"However, it turned out to be the bait. The real attack ca right after and took his wife's life. That was the reason the devastation was that big.
"This ti, the demons might do sothing similar. While we have more spirit transcendences compared to the current Ardagan family, if we end up in the sa situation as before, we will end up burdening him."
lissa squinted her eyes. "I see. So that's why you recalled here."
"Yes, can you do it?" Old Ru asked.
"Sure." lissa nodded. "Still, this also ans they're going to be vulnerable right now."
"It can't be helped." Old Ru shook his head helplessly. If they sent the reinforcent to Noel instead of fixing their own problem, it would be bad for the final battle.
Even Noel understood this without even knowing their exact situation.
Old Ru raised three fingers. "It's clear that our place has been found. If we don't deal with them, they will attack us seriously. So, it's better if we are the ones taking the initiative.
"While they're focusing on the Ardagan family, we will launch an all-out assault. Venom Overlord, Gluttony. I want both of you to be in charge of this frontal assault. Phantom will have to scout around the area and ensure the complete eradication of the enemy.
"Vampire and Arctic Queen will handle their own matters, while I will remain in this place, overseeing the entire situation.
"Diva. Although we know there were two demon kings in the past, only one has been confird.
"Alexander Ardagan almost killed them, but they managed to escape. Since we have confird the land demon king…"
"You're assuming the demon king will co from the sea?" Diva squinted her eyes.
"Yes, Vampire and Diva have to go north. There's also a chance for the demon king to co from the sky."
They all nodded in agreent. If the demon kings attacked them without a spirit king, there was no way they could survive.
The spirit king from the Ardagan family would definitely co to aid them, so if they could find this demon king first, it would be a massive advantage for them.
Old Ru lowered his forefingers. "Secondly, we will gather the warriors for the spirits. I'm pretty sure that he will co to this place and purify more people here before the final battle. After all, the stronger we are, the higher the chance of victory.
"We will use this as an excuse to conscript soldiers. Although I don't like the way it sounds, the number of demons is expected to reach tens of thousands. Our usual force won't be enough to handle them.
"Last but not least, we will respect his request. As soon as we've figured out whether they're working together, we will imdiately send the information to the Ardagan family. If necessary, I will personally go there.
"Any objections?"
None of them raised their voices, so Old Ru concluded the eting. "All right. Let us focus on the incoming attack."
Old Ru worried the most about ti. If they had more ti, a lot of things could be done, especially with Noel and Anna's growth speed. And that was exactly what their enemies hadn't planned to give them.
6 days after the eting, two territories were attacked by tens of thousands of demons.
The first one was the Beast Kingdom, while the second one was, unexpectedly, the Lesen family, where Elaine Lesen ca from.
