Based on the information he obtained, Leo immediately attended a meeting held in this room along with other human higher-ups.
The results of this meeting are very complicated and can be said to have an enormous influence on the lives of humanity in the future. Including, it would sacrifice a lot of people in it.
In summary, the results of the meeting can be grouped into several points.
Leo along with the troops in the Rustfell region will receive a call of assistance from the Elves in Crystalcourt. Against all the demons that will move there.
If this action of Leo is going to kill Feris along with that contract, then let it happen. Instead, Feris ordered the Eastfort region to conduct a full-scale attack towards the North. Take back what should have belonged to humanity.
The Maelfall and Mulderberg regions will not participate in the war. Instead, they had to guard Eastfort's front line with half of their army.
One must be sent to the Dwarf region of Astraknol Island to negotiate together.
Now, with the war widening, and the world crisis growing, all races should be united for common salvation.
And the person who expands the mission on the fourth point, none other than 3 heroes namely Alex, Brian, and also Amelia. Together with them were at least 10,000 soldiers just in case.
Despite initial objections, they eventually agree to a plan that might kill Feris head-on.
But in exchange, humanity should have the opportunity to inflict great injuries and damage on the Demon nation that has controlled nearly half of this world.
Where most of their troops were focused on fighting against the Elves.
What's more, at least about 20,000 special soldiers using magic weapons made by Leo and his students have been evenly distributed throughout the existing division of the army.
Although it only covers about 5% of the entire army including the Levies, they have an equivalent strength, or perhaps more powerful than 200,000 troops at a time. Making their existence can change the direction of the battle.
And finally, after the meeting was over, all the higher-ups were asked to return to work immediately.
Including Leo who now must immediately prepare his fleet to cross the sea of Yellow Depths.
But before that....
"Leo, wait a minute." Said Feris who stopped Leo's footsteps.
"What's wrong?" Ask Leo briefly.
Feris seemed to be silent for a while before finally returning to speak.
"Kill me now. I've at least finished my job." Ferris Saying.
Despite being asked several times, Leo still objected to Feris's selfish request. The basis of his mind is simple.
In the Devil's contract, Feris mentions that no one human will cross the boundary of the fortress of Eastfort.
Does that mean humans can't go North? Or is it just limited to the land connected to Eastfort? In other words, the human continent?
No. gabe. That's not explained at all.
After all the main plan of all this was to obtain absolute cooperation with the Elves as well as the Dwarves before the Devil nation acted further.
And if, and only if Feris would really die after the humans set foot elsewhere, then let it happen and immediately invade the North Eastfort region.
Lf it doesn't?
"Feris, humans today still need your strategy. Please don't act selfish and ask me like that again.
But if you still want to work a little more, you can survive until your orders to get through this wall come out. Therefore...."
Leo then handed over a spare magic weapon. A magic weapon in the form of a pistol that he used in the first days when he began to learn about the Runes themselves.
"This is my first weapon. As soon as you command a human to pass through this wall, just fire it at your head. You'll die instantly with this weapon." Clearly Leo with a sharp look.
Feris seemed to think for a moment before accepting Leo's gift.
Despite having obtained many better weapons than the previous version, Feris only distributed them to the entire army, higher-ups, including other heroes.
But not himself. He had no interest in having it as he had absolutely no plans to fight on the front lines. And someone else could definitely make better use of that weapon.
And this time....
"Then take good care of yourself."
"You too. Don't you die."
......***......
...- City of Venice -...
The shocking news instantly caused the entire population of the city to panic. There are many conspiracy theories about the end of the world.
While Artemis and her division are very busy to deal with riots, mass panic, and also the many fake news.
On the other hand, Leo who had just returned from Eastfort immediately returned home. Not to rest, but to do what might be his last act.
"Dad, you're home fast. I thought it'd take a long time to work in Eastfort?" Stella asked with a surprised face. He was reading a book in the living room with Roselia still teaching him something.
"There's a very sudden affair." Reply Leo briefly while stroking the girl's hair slowly.
"Devil right? I heard they managed to conquer half of the Elves. Are you going there?"
Leo was instantly speechless after hearing Stella's lightness. Although he is intelligent and arguably a genius, Stella is still a child who does not know the weight of his words.
Hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of souls had floated in the event of the Elven invasion of Silverhide by the Devils.
While looking at Stella's face, Leo replied to her daughter's words.
"That's how. Now you're back to studying, okay?" Said Leo with a smile.
"of course! Don't you see this?! I've reached A level this year! Soon I will soon surpass Master's magical abilities!" Shouted Stella with an excited face.
'That's right. Leos. Don't make them worry.' Leo thought in his own heart while continuing to smile.
At that moment, suddenly a blade slashed toward Leo's neck. Where the slash could easily be held back by the wind magic that always protected him from most of the impromptu attacks.
'Swuuusshhh!!!'
Also with a smile, Leo turned his back and said.
"Good progress, Marcus. This time I can barely feel the air of your existence." Leo said as he stroked Marcus's silver hair.
"As expected of Father. But isn't magic too cheating? How do I get past Dad's wind defense magic?" Marcus asked with a amazed face.
"If you think magic is cheating, then take a little time to learn how to cheat." Reply Leo with a light laugh.
After greeting his two children, Leo immediately walked towards the kitchen to meet his wife.
But what he got was a sharp look from Selene and Reina.
"I know what your thoughts are. But I can only allow one to come along. And that's you, Selene. As for Reina, please take care of the children and...."
"Why are you always like that?" Reina asked in a soft tone but with a sharp look.
Leo was a little silent about receiving that answer. But he immediately regained his composure while replying.
"Although the curse on your body has disappeared, even you obtained a new blessing as a Sword Saint from the Goddess Silvie, I still cannot let you come along." Reply Leo firmly.
"Was.... Am I too weak to come? You know for yourself if I can...."
"You're mistaken, Reina." Leo's reply cut Reina's words.
Seeming confused, Leo immediately emphasized what he meant.
"Because of your strength, I can't let you come along. What would happen if Venice didn't have another protector as strong as you? What would happen if a demon suddenly appeared in the middle of the city like it used to?
Likely in this entire world, only you can fight on balance with Alicia. The figure of the hero who is considered the most powerful in the human domain. Losing a great power like you on this mission is fatal."
Although Leo explained it logically, and indeed it was the big reason, but still. In his heart, Leo just didn't want to see Reina get hurt.
And for that, Leo always asked Reina to be a protective figure in this Rustfell region in particular, and the entire human region in general.
"Reina, just relax. I will protect Mr. Leo with all my might." Said Selene while holding Reina's shoulder. Trying to calm him down.
"You mean it?"
"of course. Leave that to me." Reply Selene with a smile.
"Then.... Be careful. I don't want to see you hurt either."
After saying goodbye to all of his immediate family members, Leo immediately packed up most of his belongings and asked Selene to come with him.
Their first objective was to take care of the needs of the ships in the harbor. As many ships as possible exist to transport as many troops as possible.
Including also discussing the needs of food supply, drinks and other purposes during this mission.
Their second goal then was to go to the army barracks, conduct meetings with military officials and also gather selected troops to set out on this mission that could be considered very dangerous.
Leo did not set high criteria for the formation of this army. The conditions are only one. I will never fear death.
And with all those needs in order, Leo immediately set off for the Elf continent, Crystalcourt the next 3 days.
