“Hmm..”

Xeon's expression was so solemn, Scarlesia looked at the astonished Xeon who had not spoken in the slightest since they had returned from the Evariste Empire. As if there was something else he was thinking about, they were in the meeting room because there were some things Scarlesia wanted to talk about. But seeing Xeon as she is now makes Scarlesia forced to start opening her voice.

“Xeon, what are you really thinking? Why does your face look so serious?” ask Scarlesia.

All Xeon's daydreams fell away just as Scarlesia's voice asked her.

“There's a weird thing about this drought,” Xeon said.

“Haa right I also feel that way,” timpal Oliver.

Scarlesia tilted her head, actually she also felt that there was something strange about this drought but no matter how many times she thought about it, still she did not find the right answer.

“So how do you think this drought can happen?” ask Scarlesia.

Before answering Scarlesia's question, Xeon fixed her sitting position to look more serious.

“As I expected, the drought was caused by the upcoming wave of monsters,”

“What does this have to do with monster waves?” confused Zenon.

“If the main monster gate opens, then there will be many monsters that come out even the monster king also comes out. But, opening the gates of monsters and bringing large numbers of monsters into the human world requires natural energy,” explained Xeon.

“I understand! That is why there can be extreme drought because natural energy is sucked by the waves of monsters that will occur causing drought, aridity, and plants difficulty to survive,” said Scarlesia spontaneously understood although not yet fully explained by Xeon.

“Really! This drought due to the dwindling energy of nature could only be dealt with by the power of the sky god just like the previous Sia did that power that could regulate the entire weather in the universe,”

“So it's no wonder why witches can't handle it,” Oliver said.

“Well now what should we do next Sia?” elios asked opened a new topic.

“Alright, I will explain to you what we should do to face war with monsters for the next 1.5 months,”

Scarlesia began to talk about the division of duties, the first training of the sword knight will be handed over to Andreas and Carlen, the second training of the witches will be handed over to Oliver and Aldert, the second training of the witches will be handed over to Oliver and Aldert, the three archery knight trainings will be done by Scarlesia herself with Elios, the three herbal plant gatherings will be handed over to Zenon as he knows more about herbs, the, the four making potions to increase stamina would also be done by Scarlesia with Louis and Xeon.

Then Scarlesia gathered all the knights in the training field, the number of knights working under the auspices of Duke Eginhardt was quite a lot and almost filled the field. When they were gathered, there was a confused look on their faces because Scarlesia had not given any explanation as to their reason

collected at this time.

“I understand you must be confused to be gathered suddenly but I gather you not without cause or reason because I will explain everything to you from the beginning,” exclaimed Scarlesia standing before them all.

Then Scarlesia told them about the monster wave that would happen later, they were tense when explained about the future that Scarlesia saw. They either believe it or not because they think that nothing of the sort is going to happen. However, the longer Scarlesia's explanation began to make what they had thought before was untrue even what Scarlesia was currently saying made them believe coupled with Scarlesia's expression that did not look like the person she was trump up.

“Maybe this sounds a little unreasonable but I didn't lie to you guys, I gathered you here because I wanted to say that you guys should be prepared with what was going to happen. I don't want you to die fighting those monsters, so I will give you special training to face the battle that will happen in 1.5 months. If you don't believe me or you get scared, you can back off from now,” Scarlesia said firmly.

The knights looked at each other while thinking about what Scarlesia said.

“I BELIEVE IN MISS!” shouted one of the knights.

“I ALSO BELIEVE THEREFORE I WILL DO THE TRAINING YOU SAY,”

“NONA DON'T WORRY! BECAUSE WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU,”

“What kind of training will we do Miss?” ask one of the knights.

“Tomorrow you will know soon. So I suggest you rest faster today because tomorrow's training is quite tiring,” Scarlesia suggested.

“GOOD MISS!”

After that, they immediately disperse to their respective rooms. By order of Scarlesia, any kind of knightly activity for the day was abolished. Later, Scarlesia went to see Carlen in her room because there was something important she wanted to talk about.

“Tumben you're here, what do you want to tell me Sia?” ask Carlen.

“Sister, don't you have a shadow army?”

“Huh? Where did you know that?”

“I will have eyes and ears everywhere,” replied Scarlesia smiling.

“So, you mean you came here to tell me about my shadow army?”

Scarlesia nodded her head.

“That's right! Big brother's shadow army is from a poisonous clan isn't it? I know this clan is long over but I didn't think there were any of them left. Can you bring me up with them? Because there is something I want to talk to them about,” Scarlesia said.

Carlen thought for a moment before answering.

“Alright, I'll take you to meet them now,”

Carlen takes Scarlesia through a tunnel hidden in the basement. The tunnel is dark and very humid because the tunnel has a water channel. They stopped in front of a wall, there turned out to be a button leading into a fairly large room. Inside the room were already a few people there, they welcomed Carlen's sudden arrival without notice.

“Master, why didn't you tell us in advance if you wanted to visit here?” ask Felix, deputy commander of the shadow army.

“Ahh sorry, are you guys busy?”

Scarlesia looked at them like she was having some kind of meeting.

“No sir, we are not busy. But it looks like you brought Miss,”

Scarlesia smiled and waved her hand at Felix.

“You look like Dion from the archer knight, are you not his brother?” guess Scarlesia who has since noticed the face of Felix that is similar to Dion.

“Ahh do you know Miss Dion? Dion is my younger brother, so it's no wonder that many people say we're both alike.” Felix sumringah replied.

“It is fitting that you two look like it turns out brother sister,” Scarlesia said.

“What Max is here?” carlen asked, his eyes looking for Max's whereabouts.

“Commanderand just went out. Soon she might be back,”

Felix then told the two of them to enter first, the number of shadow troops belonging to Carlen is not much. Their numbers ranged from no more than 50 men but even so, they had strong fighting skills and for almost 7 years they worked under Carlen's orders.

“Master, it turns out you are here,”
