CHAPTER 582: EPILOGUE 4 (1/2)
Numilia swept her eyes over the familiar faces gathered here, then coldly glanced at Evilin.
The evil eye nodded in response, his blubbery head jiggling a little, after which a telepathic message was sent to everyone.
“What? Lord Mo Ke is missing?!” Eugenia was the first to react to the transmitted message, her seat nearly toppling over when she stood up anxiously.
Elena lowered her head in silence.
Habona was equally quiet, though she tapped the table with her claws a few times, leaving a noticeable scratch on the otherwise black surface.
Violet Snow, on the other hand, tilted her adorable little head to the side and muttered, “I wonder where he’s off to this time.”
Julia, however, was chewing her lip in anxiety. “I’m sure Lord Mo Ke will be fine…”
“Everyone, I know you are all unsettled by this news, but Evilin is still alive. That’s proof that my beloved is alive and well, we just don’t know where he has gone off to.”
Numilia was the most composed of the attendants, mostly because she was the first one to be informed of this fact. As a citymaster, she had learnt to rein in her temper as well.

“That’s right, there’s no point worrying about that devil now. We should be more concerned about ourselves right now.” Violet Snow was the first to break the icy atmosphere with a pat of her little paws. “The Dark Frogfolk are quiet for now, but those Demonic Half-orcs seem to be busy of late. I think we should be discussing that next, lest a problem crops up in the future.”
“The Demonic Half-orcs are being handled by the Demonic Werewolves and the Lizardmen. I’m sure Sister Habona won’t let us down on that front.”
Numilia looked towards the werewolf and found that she wasn’t objecting, instead nodding in agreement. “As long as their overlord doesn’t join the battlefield, I should be fine holding that front.”
Even with her genius-like combat expertise, and her perchance for defeating those above her star-level, an overlord was still a warrior that had a foot into the supernatural.
Some time had gone by since they had established this city. Numilia had grown accustomed to her role as leader by now, and was only getting more proficient at the job. That was why Habona found no reason to object to the harpy at all. After all, she was a better leader than she probably would have been.
Numilia turned to look at Violet Snow. “Regarding those roaming Hellhound packs in the east, I’m hoping you can persuade them soon.”
“Got it. I’ll head over tomorrow.”
With Violet Snow’s acquiescence, Numilia continued on. “The scouts have also reported sightings of Harpy clans in the south. Eugenia, Elena, I’ll leave that to the two of you. If the reports are true, they must be persuaded to join us.”
“Mhm.” Eugenia nodded her head solemnly. “If they have a Harpy witch on their side, and that witch refuses?”

Numilia considered for a couple of seconds then, with furrowed brows, answered, “It would be preferable for us to peacefully deal with them, but if that’s not possible…”
