*Clack!*
The door to the main control room was opened. Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but shift to the one coming inside, only to be surprised by the identity of that person.
"Maxwell?" Rose took a step back. "Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be..."
Maxwell nodded with a serious expression. "Yes, but I’m escorting a VIP this ti. It’s ti to turn the situation around."
"What do you an?" Rose was confused. She didn’t know any VIPs. Noel hadn’t ntioned it either.
Even when she checked with Elaine, the latter only shook her head.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man entered the room. The man might not be that old, but he had the aura of a dignified noble.
If it were any ordinary noble, they wouldn’t feel this pressure, but they sohow felt an aura similar to that of Noel.
"Who?" Elaine couldn’t recognize this person.
Rose also didn’t recognize him imdiately, but she felt like she had seen him sowhere. ’Where did I see his face?’
An image appeared in his mind. It was an image of her childhood.
"Wait... Are you... Mr. Gold?!" Rose asked out loud.
"Mr. Gold?" Elaine and Maxwell beca confused. Who in the world was Mr. Gold?
However, the person in question actually recognized that nickna.
Fifteen years ago, he was going to a new destination for his charity. But the village he was supposed to reach was already destroyed thanks to the demons and bandits.
At that ti, his soldiers apprehended the bandits who were almost destroying the already ruined village.
So, as usual, he ca to the village and transford it.
At that ti, there was a little girl who had lost both her parents. The little girl was deeply saddened that she didn’t want to eat anything, as if she wanted to follow her own parents to the underworld.
Out of compassion, he comforted that little kid until she managed to stand on her two feet.
To make himself more likeable to the kid, he introduced himself as Mr. Gold.
"Are you... that little girl from Kanae River Village?" The man asked with an amused expression.
It was a confirmation. Rose wanted to tear up. She joined the Demon Banner Army because of him, thinking she would get strong enough to help the people against demons or bandits.
She had never returned to her village since she was already an orphan. As a result, she never heard his real na.
"To think that the little girl from back then is now actually working for my son..." The man facepald, impressed by the coincidence.
"Son...?" Rose was confused at first, but her expression soon changed after realizing who the person was. "Wait. You are... Noel’s father, the forr lord of the Ardagan family, Luke Ardagan?"
She had heard about Luke and Leysha from Noel, but fate was truly mysterious.
Luke nodded. "Yes."
That confirmation blew her mind. Even Elaine couldn’t believe it either.
"I don’t have any power to fight, but that doesn’t an I’m useless. The reason I co here is to help with the chain of command. Are you the one holding the authority?" Luke asked.
Rose fell silent for a mont before nodding her head. "I apologize, but even though I know you are his father, I won’t be able to give you the authority."
Instead of feeling offended, Luke actually smiled. He was happy that Rose had beco a very loyal person to his son.
This was the only correct way. If everything the son had could be transferred to his father, it ant the son would have nothing.
However, the fact that Rose remained loyal to Noel ant Noel was above him. In the end, Noel was the current leader of the Ardagan family, not Luke.
"I’m fine not getting the authority. I will act as an advisor, and you will think about whether it’s appropriate to execute that command or not. I have been scheming all my life... All I want is to help my son in this last battle."
Rose nodded with a solemn expression. "I will consider your opinion carefully. Please."
Luke raised one finger. "We first need to send a direct ssage to all kingdoms. The two demon kings have shown themselves, so the Supre Devil must have made his move as well, right?"
"That’s correct. Anna... I an, Lady Anna is currently facing the Supre Devil in the Atracaeca Kingdom." Rose nodded.
"In that case, tell them that the battle has reached the end phase. Now that everyone has laid down all their cards, it’s ti to push them back. Send all the information to the four kingdoms that it’s ti to settle everything."
"!!!"
...
Zaecuria Kingdom.
With Luke’s instruction, Rose imdiately sent a direct ssage, using the fastest thod to reach them.
"Your Majesty. I have brought the news from the Ardagan family."
"What’s going on?" The king was startled, wondering if there was another problem.
"The battle has reached the mature phase. All sides have laid down their cards. It’s ti to push. In total, there are 30 ancient demons attacking all four kingdoms.
"The Zaecuria Kingdom faces 5 ancient demons, the Atracaeca Kingdom faces 5 as well but with the Supre Devil, the Greenwood Kingdom is fighting against 3 ancient demons, while the Muivell Kingdom has to handle 12 ancient demons."
"12..." The king’s face turned pale. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if that was what he had to face.
However, this was not the most important ssage. He had no choice but to believe Noel Ardagan and act like a king.
The king clenched his hands into fists. There were five ancient demons in their kingdom, so it would be best for them to take care of them imdiately so that Noel didn’t have to worry about his back anymore.
The king stood up and shouted, "Fradania!"
"So, my turn is up!" Fradania smirked.
"Your Majesty..." The ministers panicked, not only for the king’s safety but also theirs.
"Shut up. Don’t be a coward. This is the ti for us to launch a counterattack. Fradania, I want you to take down one ancient demon! Bring out the royal army and all the soldiers you need. I want all of them to die.
"Pass my ssage to all spirit transcendence experts in this kingdom. The ti has co. It’s ti to eradicate the demons!"
