“Is that the rumored fiance of the princess?”

“Ah~ How lovely those baby cubs are~”

“So that’s Ren Arken, huh…”

“A-All of those magic beast cubs are his familiars?”

“Good afternoon, Princess Claria! Princess Charnia! Lord Ren!”

“Good afternoon, general princess!”

“Good afternoon, general princess’s fiance!”

(I-I guess I chose a made decision…) (Druid Oz)

“Yes, good afternoon,” Druid Oz answers everyone’s greeting with a kind smile as he let out a heavy sigh inside his heart.

With Claria and Charnia holding both of his arms, and the magic beasts’ cubs that keep on climbing his back, Druid Oz couldn’t even take his time to stabilize his state of heart.

(And to add that terrifying gaze from afar…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz had sensed the piercing gaze coming from the direction of the royal palace. His eyes are itching to shift his gaze towards it to check, but since he thought it will only invite more trouble, he decides to refrain from doing so.

“But, I guess this is not that bad either, huh…” Druid Oz muttered as he stared at the two girls beside him and the people of the Galhala Kingdom.

“Good afternoon~” (Charnia)

“Good afternoon, sir Valta,” (Claria)

Charnia and Claria kindly answer everyone’s greetings, and the citizens happily greet and give food to them and the magic beasts’ cubs.

But right when they’re enjoying themselves, a news Druid Oz wish to never come or at least not now appeared.

(A warning, from the infernal mosquito groups… East?) (Druid Oz)

“Hm? Ren? What happened?” Asked Claria as she felt Druid Oz suddenly stopped walking.

(The enemies are not far, and it seems that this will be their first big attack. We need to respond quickly) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz finally shifted his gaze towards the gazes coming from the royal palace. And there, their eyes met.

Druid Oz finally confirmed that the gazes from the royal palace came from the Galhala King and the Galhala Queen, and without wasting any time, Druid Oz warns them.

“Enemies. Danger,” (Druid Oz)

After looking at Druid Oz’s mouth movement, the two gazes disappeared in an instant.

“Enemies?” Asked Charnia innocently.

“What do you mean, Ren?” (Claria)

“Claria, notify the soldiers, prepare to battle. The demons are coming from the east, they’re coming straight to the capital. They will arrive here in two hours at the earliest,” (Druid Oz)

Without questioning anything, Claria followed Druid Oz’s words trustingly and transform into her owl form before dashing to notify the Galhala Kingdom’s soldiers.

“Sister! Wait!” Charnia transformed into her owl form and followed Claria.

Druid Oz didn’t have time to stop Charnia since she dashed out before he could say anything. Letting our a sigh, Druid Oz commanded the magic beasts’ cubs to go back to the house, instructed Gor to watch over them, and commanded his familiars that standby at the capital to gather at the east side of the kingdom.

*Tap!*

Druid Oz tapped the ground with his wooden staff as he muttered: “Flower Warp,”

In a split second, Druid Oz arrived at the Galhala Kingdom’s east wall. The soldiers guarding the walls jumped in surprise when Druid Oz suddenly appeared on top of the wall, but they soon realize the identity of Druid Oz as all of them had attended the training at the royal training grounds, and the face of the general princess’s fiance is too famous for them to didn’t know him.

“L-Lord Ren!” Called out one of the soldiers.

“Notify the soldiers to grab their weapons and prepare for battle,” (Druid Oz)

“Eh? Why?” Asked the soldier.

“Demons. They’re coming…” said Druid Oz as he stared at the distance with sharp eyes.

With a single thought, Druid Oz commanded a group of his summoned insects to infiltrate their bodies and assassinate them one by one. The thought of assassinating the commander at one crossed Druid Oz’s mind, but if he does so, it will be more troubling if the demons retreated because of it.

Since the number of the demons is still unknown, this is a great opportunity to cut their number down. From the eyes of the summoned insects, the number of the demons coming towards the capital city are about 80,000.

By controlling his summoned insects, the number of the demons is getting reduced every second. Since the walls of the Galhala Kingdom are made with a rare material that could only found on the Eastaria continent, Druid Oz is confident that they would be able to defend the kingdom easily as long as the number of the enemies didn’t surpass 200,000.

Druid Oz sent 500 infernal mosquitos and 500 frost bees to reduce the number of the advancing demons. In just 10 minutes, 5,000 of the demons had fallen. But even so, they continue to advance towards the capital without minding the reduction in their number.

“Lord Ren! We’ve notified all of the soldiers” Said the soldier that Druid Oz instructed to notify the other soldiers.

Druid Oz turns around and roughly counts the number of the soldiers on top of the east walls right now.

(Only about ten thousand, huh…) (Druid Oz)

Ten thousand are a great number enough. It’s the number of soldiers stationed in the east barrack. Since there is a huge barrack near every wall of the capital city, defends became easier since they could come to the attacked side faster.

The strength of the Galhala Kingdom’s warriors is praiseworthy, but looking at the soldiers before him, an illusion of their families holding them from behind them made Druid Oz hesitant.

(I didn’t want to let any of them die…) (Druid Oz)

But the enemies this time are fearsome, just a single scratch could make any of them got transformed into a demon. And it means that a single scratch means death.

Druid Oz clenches his fist as he saw the faces of the soldiers. The faces of the soldiers at the Galhala Kingdom aren’t the same as the faces of the soldiers at the human kingdoms. At the human kingdoms, most of those who became soldiers are filled with arrogance and annoying looks, but here, their faces radiated with kindness and solidarity.

Maybe the reason is that the Galhala Kingdom is famous as a kingdom of strong warriors, or maybe it’s because Druid Oz had become too close with the people of the kingdom, Druid Oz already felt guilty for having them need to fight the demons.

“REN!!” The loud voice of the Galhala King appeared from the distance.

Together with Claria and an army of soldiers with their owl form clad in golden armor, the Galhala King dashed towards where Druid Oz is standing

“How many of them?” Asked the Galhala King.

“They’re coming with 80,000 demons, they will arrive in two hours at the earliest,” Replied Druid Oz.

“I see… I brought 40,000 warriors with me, I guess this should be enough,” said the Galhala King as he commanded a general to take command of the soldiers.

The capital city of the Galhala Kingdom is huge, and because of its size, there are about 300,000 royal soldiers ready to be mustered. But even so, the Galhala King only brought 40,000 soldiers with him.

(It means he’s that confident with the strength of his warriors, huh… ) (Druid Oz)

“I’ll assist you with what I could. Some of my summoned insects are reducing their number. Their number would be about 60,000 at most when they arrived here,” (Druid Oz)

“Y-You reduced their number by 20,000 with your familiars!? And how did you able to know the march of the demons that fast anyway, Ren?” Asked the Galhala King.

“Hm? I commanded my summoned insects to patrol at the 100 km radius of the kingdom so that we won’t get caught off-guarded by a demonic march. I thought that if we rely on the patrolling guards, it will be the end if they got killed and got transformed into a demon,” Answered Druid Oz indifferently.

“Ha-HAHAHAHA!! As expected of my future son-in-law!! Our kingdom is greatly indebted to you, Ren. Giving you Claria is still not enough to express our gratitude to you,” said the Galhala King with a great laugh.

The soldiers are still confused and not convinced that there will be an army of demons advancing towards the capital since the patrols said they didn’t say anything before. But since the Galhala king seems to believe Druid Oz that much, they decided to believe in his words as well.

“Well, of course, I believed in you, Ren. Claria and I will take command of the soldiers, please assist the battle as you see fit,” said the Galhala Kingdom as he gazes at the distance.

Just like an accurate prophecy, the army of demons marching towards the capital finally appeared at the distance just like Druid Oz had said.

The soldiers roared in excitement as the words of the general princess’s fiance turns out to be true.

“SOLDIERS!! PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!” (The Galhala king)
