Chapter 408 - Another Day (2/2)
”What happened?”
[ An unknown Energy disrupted our satellite. We can no longer detect the Celestial Being. ] Avalon answered after scanning the surrounding area again.
”Haa~ That's fine. Let's not look for the Celestial again. Consider it as his warning.”
[ Affirmative. ]
He doesn't want to anger the Celestial so he decided to just let him be. As for Wallace, he can't do much either and could only hope that the Being would rescue him.

A day had passed after the start of the war against the aliens.
There have been so many deaths in the countries where the Meredith Empire's forces landed, especially in Montego.
If not for the reinforcements from the allied nations, they would've probably collapsed by now. As a matter of fact, there's already a mass migration happening as they decided to hide on some secluded islands.
However, most of them have decided to go to the mainland to seek refuge from the remaining powerful nations.
Now that their strongest Magician, Julian Esmeria, has perished, they were unsure about the future of the country.
”Is there any news about Wallace?” Charles asked the council of war. Both the aliens and their nations are recuperating from the previous clash so they finally have the time to conduct another meeting.
Well, this is probably good news for the imperial soldiers as well since they could peacefully mine the memory crystal that they've occupied.
”We didn't hear anything from Avalon. I also tried contacting Ace but he couldn't give a definite answer at the moment. Anyway, they have a mysterious connection with each other and he feels that Wallace isn't dead yet. I think we shouldn't worry about him for now.” Yumi reported her investigation.
”I see… I just hope that he can still return safely.”
”He should. Let's just believe in him. For now, we will discuss the recent activity of Seiji Alliance and the Secret Art that the late Julian Esmeria used to fight against the Khrusams.” Charles Mavis said as he looked at the members of the council.
They all nodded after hearing it since this topic is very important for them.
Aside from Charles, all the members of the council are communicating using a hologram as they are in different facilities.
Some of them are even injured so the old man couldn't force them to visit the headquarters to discuss this in person.
[ We have confirmed that Seiji Alliance gathered their forces and were now planning to attack the Republic of Maja. ]
Avalon reported.

In the meantime, Ace watches the Chronos approach the five Conqueror Starsh.i.p.s.
At the moment, they can see that the unmoving starsh.i.p.s have several thousands of android builders fixing the external part of the Starsh.i.p.s.
He couldn't blame them for that.
They have no idea or information about the existence of Sealed Mana Artifacts or Celestial Beings and the things that they can do.
”Hmm… With these five starsh.i.p.s, how many Khrusams do you think they have there?” Ace asked Avalon.
[ There should be more than 2,500 Khrusams if we compare it to the Conqueror Starship which landed at Kazan. ]
”That many, huh… They have to be decisive in their first attack then.” Ace muttered.
He is referring to the surprise attack that the Chronos would do in a few more hours.
