Chapter 253 - 206 : Unwinnable Figh (1/2)

”At least you came back in one piece. Next time, don't try to investigate the enemies when you're not sure about their exact power, it'll only end badly, in your case… I think you've understood that the hard way.”

Arthur's words weren't directed to Jackob but to Anastassia, who was keeping her silence while nodding her head, clearly regretting her past decisions.

”Anyways, the enemy on the East can wait, I have a lot of preparations and the Divine Beasts are much more threatening than an evil cult.”

”Oh yeah, what are we going to do about the catastrophe?”

Jackob was also anxious about the incoming doom, he wasn't powerful enough to defend against them, so was Anastassia, so they put the meeting about this topic on hold until Arthur came for they were certain he will since it's such an important matter.

”The problem is that we don't know where they'll strike, all the leading factions all over Astria are anxious, some even started evacuating to other worlds.”(Anatassia)

”They'll only attack the Human Continent, I'm sure of that.”

”The Human Continent? What about the rest? How did you know they'll only at that the central one?”

Jackob was confused, Arthur declared that with certainty but he didn't fully believe it since there are no records about techniques that allow people to predict where these monsters will attack.

”You don't need to know how I did it, you need to focus on evacuating the inhabitants from that area, just disperse them all over Astria, even to the North since the Demon Lord agreed to accommodate them.”

”The demons? They'll surely go back on their words and slaughter all of them! Hmpf!”

Anastassia wasn't pleased since she hates Demons, she didn't like the idea of cooperating with them, especially with their leader. Although she has a decent relationship with Taliya, it didn't mean she has a good opinion about the maid's whole race, after all, the war between the two races has been ongoing for a long time until it was stopped some time ago, thanks to none other than Arthur.

Actually, with her current power and the army of the sect, finishing the demons isn't a big deal. The four bone dragons along with the minotaur will be enough to create havoc inside the imperial city, killing the Demon Lord isn't hard too, nonetheless, she restrained herself and continued taking care of the Arthur and Lucy's sect.

There are an enormous amount of disciples, they are even separated in factions and there are several competitions about them but it isn't too major, she often lets the appointed elders of the sect to take care of it and if it gets too out of hand, Jackob will just go as he is very popular amongst the populace.

”Stop dawdling over small things, we can't bring every inhabitant of the central continent to our sect, the number is just too big, and they can't go to the East because of that evil cult, so they only have two choices. Moreover, there are many vast lands in the North that are inhabited, it's a perfect place for these refugees.”

”Then, Boss, are we fighting against the Divine Beasts?”

”We? There is no we, you do your job and leave them to me, I'll deal with these invaders.”

Jackob didn't insist for he knew his strength wasn't enough to help Arthur, as for Anastassia, she also maintained her silence but she stared at him with a strange look.

The meeting didn't last for long, after talking for a little while, all of them, except Arthur and Lissandra, left. The slender woman was staring at Arthur with a peculiar gaze
