Chapter 43 - Preparation for War (2/2)

”And that's how we ended up having so many Haulia Tribes!” Shea explained with such enthusiasm with Miledi nodding and correcting her now and then as if both of them have achieved nirvana.

'I can't believe it! They went and end the whole Empire without even inviting me?! How can they hog all the fun alone?!'

”You should have invited me too.” He said a little disappointed that he missed such a show. As for Empire… well… he didn't give a sh*t. Neither did he knew Empire nor they knew him. So, he didn't care whether they or he destroyed a nation or two. After all, Empire was at the fault for provoking someone they shouldn't have. You don't see a child said that he is going to fight a tiger. That's a plane stupidity, knowing the fact that you can never win.

The same was going in the mind of every Haulia Tribesmen. Though they were inspired in a totally different direction right now.

'Boss Bloody Asura is so cool!' is what was going on most of the tribesmen's mind.

”Anyway, since so have already brought them here… Cam you will take the responsibility of teaching them about the rules of this place and also show them their accommodations.” He said to Cam who nodded while saluting him.

”You both should go and take a bath. Clean yourself. We will be leaving for Holy Mountain tomorrow. Everything will be decided tomorrow!” he said to Shea and Miledi who hearing him, nodded seriously.

At the same time in the Demon Continent, at the front of Demon Castle was an army standing—in neatly manner. The atmosphere was solemn as the whole place was in deep silence. If a normal person stood here, he might piss his pants with how heavy and threatening the air was. And silence was making the pressure feel more unbearable.

In the throne room of the castle, you could see a man bowing in front of the throne.

”We have gathered all our forces, Noint-sama. Waiting for your order to deploy them.” Freid said to the Noint, who was kneeling in a praying position with her hand clasped together as if praying to God.

”Good. Alva-sama has given his guidance to us. We will launch all-out ȧssault tomorrow.” She said without moving from her position.

”What about Heros?” Noint asked. In reality, Ehit didn't care what will happen to the Heileigh Kingdom. What he was most afraid of right now were Irregulars that have been popping here and there. He got more fearful after he saw what happened at Hoelscher Empire. Seeing as how they didn't give a shit about human lives and the fact that Miledi Reisen, one of the leaders of Liberators, is alive somehow, made him even more fearful. He thought that he needed a body urgently. For that; his prime targets were, Shizuku, Hajime, and Kouki. Since he had close to no information about Wang Lei and its party.

But the fact that he hasn't known that Wang Lei has already placed the protection on Shizuku, so even if he tried his best, he wouldn't able to take over her body.

”One of the Heroes has defected to our side! He will help us in disabling the Protecting Barrier of Heiligh Kingdom!” Freid said.

They have their own spies in human kingdoms. And with the help of those spies, they contacted the Heroes, who they thought would betray humanity. At least those, who had more than 50 percent chance of doing it. They would, as what every devil does, entice them in joining them by providing them with different benefits or promises of completing their dreams. And just as they thought, not all, but at least someone would sell their soul.

Humans are born greedy after all. It is one of the sins they are born with. And if they start to envy something to such an extent that they are ready to do anything to occupy them, then they are the best candidates to control. Someone said it right: Humans are foolish creatures.

”Only one? According to the report, there should be at least two, no?” Noint asked.

They have done their survey on the mental health of every Hero and found out the two of them had a higher chance of betraying then others. That's why she was surprised that they only got one on their side.

”We don't know. According to the reports, yes. We should have had two imposters but for some reason, one of them declined our invitation. She said, 'You people yet don't know the horror that is above your heads! But don't worry, I will not tell anyone that you have contacted me nor I will adamantly help others. If you are able to create favourable conditions, then I might join you at a moment's notice. If not, then forget it. We will forget that we ever had this discussion.'.” Freid narrated everything he heard word by word to Noint.

Noint hearing her narrowed her eyes, 'Cleaver! 'She' will remain neutral until the scale of the war is change and join the one with more benefit. Never thought that there will be someone intelligent enough to think in those crying brats!'

All these factors made her think that all of the Heroes were just a bunch of brats that have never faced hardship in their lives.

'Even if they were from a world where peace existed, was the life that easy in that world? Or just like here in this world, they chose simply to escape from reality?'

”You can leave. We will leave tomorrow at the dawn!” Noint said to Freid who obeyed her command and left the room.

'Tomorrow will decide the fate of this world, Tortus!'

(A/N: As you can tell, Arifureta arc will end in two or three chapters. Thanks for reading till now, though I honestly thought most of the reader will drop it. But thank you for reading until now.

No, it's not a Suicide Message or a Flag! Just my genuine feelings.

Next world will be 'Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works' and MC will be servent of Sakura Matou. Such a poor girl, I want to save her. And no! She will not be a harem member.

As a Wise Man once said: All I want is nothing more but just to save Sakura and get Artoria in the boat. So I can change their destinies once more. I can die a happy man I am sure.)
