After his brief experiment, Leo fired it several more times to retrieve the data regarding the explosive power of his magic weapon.
“I think it's enough. Where mine is also almost finished.” Said Leo.
“Lord Leo, sorry.... I can't use Mana Link's magic to help you.” Reply Selene with a slightly moody face.
My Link.
It is a magic created by Leo himself that is still in theory.
The concept is very simple. Instead of using the Mana stone to attract additional Mana to one's self, but the Mana stone itself was replaced with a living being. In this case, it was another witch.
“Just relax, I still need to perfect the magic circle in order to work properly. Last time we tried you passed out, didn't you?” Reply Leo while lifting the wooden doll with the broken armor.
“Tu-wait! Master Leo! Let me just!” Shouted Selene trying to help Leo lift the wooden doll.
“Tak problems. It's not heavy, either.”
The two walked back to the main building where Roselia's workspace was located.
But by the time the two arrived at the main road, something strange was going on in the streets of the city. All of that was visible through the fence surrounding this academy.
“Hmm? What's the matter?” Leo asked who immediately stopped his footsteps.
Not only himself, it seemed that many others were paying attention to what was happening outside of the academy.
Rows of soldiers with full armor appear to walk along the streets of this city. Spear, shield, sword, arrow. They appear to be wearing full-fledged gear.
When Leo looked to the right, or at the main building, the same thing happened inside the academy.
A line of witches seemed to be running neatly and with a tense attitude. Their number may reach 1,000 people more with a row of 4 banjar.
Leo and Selene step back to give them all the way. The same goes for the other students outside the building.
As they all passed by Leo and Selene, their tense faces were clearly drawn. Even their fear can be felt by Leo.
“Master?” Selene asked who saw her Master's tense expression.
Leo did not answer. He just stood in silence while watching them all pass by.
Looking from the emblem on their chest as well as their left shoulder, all of them were lower-level academy graduates. In other words the elder sister of Leo and also Selene herself.
And all of them at least wear the letter C on their left chest. With another small part wearing the letter B as well as four people wearing the letter A lined up at the very front.
After they all passed and left the academy, Leo just answered Selene's question.
“War. Most likely they were called to Eastfort looking from their faces and fears.” Said Leo.
“Eh?! A war? But didn't Mr. Leo say..”.
Leo quickly shut Selene's mouth to stop her from speaking further.
After all, Leo's thinking isn't necessarily true. They did not necessarily go to war. But look at the scale and the number of them.... That's the most logical answer for Leo.
“We will be back.” Said Leo as he walked towards the main building of this academy. Prepare to return to Roselia's study.
Upon arriving there, the two of them still found Roselia's calm figure as usual. He was sitting and writing something on a paper.
“Ah, are you back?” Ask Roselia briefly.
“Yes, that's how it is. Rosellias.... That line of witches and warriors..”.
Before Leo could finish the question, Roselia already knew what the answer Leo wanted.
“War. I heard from the head of the academy that a large legion of demons was coming towards Eastfort. Their numbers are said to be as high as 80,000 or more. An amount that is at least 100 times as much as compared to the ones that usually attack every day.” Roselia is busy writing.
Thanks to the information from the Goddess Cyrese where the demon race was in chaos, it should be that humans obtained a period of peace for a while. Even the Goddess and Feris themselves also predicted the same thing.
But what the fuck is this? What the hell is going on? Leo could not understand it at all.
If his vision used to be true, then the Demon race should indeed be in the biggest civil war.
Then what is this?
All of his confused expressions were clearly drawn on Leo's face. He is completely speechless. Even more so that number....
“Then what about humanity? How many troops are there?” Tanya Selene replaces Leo.
“Aah about that? You guys like war huh?” Ask Roselia back.
“Bu-not so.... But...”
“I don't know the exact amount. But Venice itself sent 7,500 warriors and 1,000 magicians from the Acelica academy.
Enfartice as a magic academy that really focused on warfare sent 2,500 witches. Then the last magic academy, Falacia, focused on defense, sent 2,000 witches. The rest I don't know.” Roselia is still continuing her work.
Leo who heard that was a little relieved. Even a trading city like Venice had that many troops to send. In other words, there were still many troops from other cities.
“Rather than discussing it, now help me to try to understand this ancient rune. You can gain knowledge or a flake of power from this ancient rune if it works.” Roselia now has a happy looking face.
......***......
...- Eastfort -...
“Didn't you say they were in a civil war? Then what is this?” Asked Feris who was walking hurriedly in that castle.
“They are in a civil war! But this was the action of the Demon elders who were against the choice of the Demon King.” Obviously Alex with a slightly irritated face.
“How much does their strength compare?” Ask Feris.
“Many young demons follow the Devil King's choice. As for the rest, including the old one immediately chose to support the 6 demon elders. Maybe the current Demon King only has about 30% support.” Obviously Alex.
“Then their difference of opinion?” Ask Fris back.
“From what we heard, the Demon Lord wants peace to reorganize and prepare the army for the next step. While the six demon elders wanted to immediately conquer the world right now.”
Alex's explanation was enough to make Feris understand most of what was going on in the Demon realm.
On one hand, the choice of the Demon King who was very calm and looked far ahead made Feris a little afraid of the level of intelligence that the Demon King possessed.
But on the other hand, the choice of the six demon elders was also not wrong since currently their opponents were only humans.
Elves were still confining themselves within their own continent. Whereas Dwarves only focused on enriching themselves and hoarding as many wealth treasures as possible.
In other words, fighting the current human race might be their last golden opportunity.
It's just....
“Bother once.” Feris complained while standing at the top of the Eastfort wall. He looked towards the distance with his long distance vision ability. Where the legions of demons are seen marching and preparing to tear down this last wall of mankind.
“Feris?” Ask Alex.
“With that distance, they will arrive in about 2 weeks. While the most distant troops from Mulderberg will arrive in 3 weeks. A little annoying but that's it.
Alex, set traps all over this place. You can bring 5,000 soldiers with you. I'll bring 3,000 to ambush them on the river.” Clearly Feris who immediately stepped back to leave.
This time, to prepare yourself against the greatest attack ever faced by humans.
