The nobles and their soldiers cheers as their morale raised to the peak because of Druid Oz’s before battle speech. With a satisfied smile, the prime minister, Allomere, approached Druid Oz.

“It seems that you’re not lying about that talent of yours, Ren,” (Prime Minister, Allomere)

“Of course, you sly owl. But I would really appreciate it if I got an early notice about giving a before the battle speech, though,” Answered Druid Oz sarcastically.

“Don’t be mad, Ren. It would be a good experience as well, don’t you think. But well, we all appreciate the fact that you’ve raised the morale of the soldiers to the peak. We’ll definitely reward you handsomely for it, Ren,” (Prime Minister, Allomere)

“Handsomely, you say…” (Druid Oz)

“Well, it’s time for the command to march,” (Prime Minister, Allomere)

Following the prime minister’s words, the Galhala King walked forward and stared at the eyes of the soldiers with his sharp eyes. His big figure felt so majestic and admiring that Druid Oz couldn’t help but admire the Galhala King’s back as well.

(I guess in times like this, he does look like a great king, huh…) (Druid Oz)

“Ren, did you just think something rude about father?” (Claria)

“O-Of course not, I’m just admiring his majestic back,” (Druid Oz)

(Is that woman’s intuition? No, daughter’s intuition? How scary…) (Druid Oz)

Different from Druid Oz’s use of motivating words, the Galhala King didn’t use a long sentence.

“This is a command, WIN!!!” With his powerful voice, the Galhala King ordered his soldiers to win the upcoming battle as he raise his sword.

Even though it is heard like a simple and unreasonable command, it sends shivers to all of the soldiers as they interpret it into a different meaning.

‘We will definitely win!’

“””””AS YOUR COMMAND!!!””””

The warriors of the noble faction answered the Galhala King’s command with full vigor.

“March!!” Shouted one of the leading nobles, and the army finally march towards the demonic base.

Druid Oz observes the marching army, and a small smile formed on his face.

(So they follow my advice, after all) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz advised that they will need sacrificial pawns that could be used to check on traps and help increase the number of the army. Since it’s a demonic base, they wouldn’t know what kind of traps might lie ahead, and sacrificial pawns like golems could be used for lots of purposes and strategic plans.

Following Druid Oz’s advice, the nobles that participate in the first wave march towards the demonic base managed to gather some owlfolk golems in their army. They are golems with a form of an owlfolk form in their owl form. Their size is about 3 meters tall, and their strength is decent.

“Those golems could be gathered because of the countless magic cores we got from the demonic attack with you, Ren. If there’s more time, they could have gathered more than double of that number, but I guess it can’t be helped,” said the prime minister, Allomere, as if he could read what Druid Oz is thinking.

“That’s plenty. Those golems would help them in any battle strategy whether in attack, defense, or retreat. But it’s the first time I saw such golems, looks like the magic technology of the kingdom isn’t that bad, after all,” (Druid Oz)

“Of course! It’s just that using golems to fight while cowering behind them is not the style of Galhalan warriors! That’s why our nobles usually only use it as a defense system of their territories and their residence, they will only appear when they’re under attack and their soldiers are taking too much time to mobilize,” (The Galhala King)

“The royal castle didn’t use it?” (Druid Oz)

“We have strong warriors in the capital, what use those golems would be here?” (The Galhala King)

(So the reason why there are no golems in the capital is that the king didn’t like its existence in the capital, huh…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz couldn’t help but make a wry smile because of the Galhala King’s reason.

“I know what you’re thinking, Ren. Just leave that musclebrain be,” said the prime minister with a sigh.

“I-I see…” (Druid Oz)

“Well, what’s left is to prepare for the second wave attack, we’re going to prepare the royal army, Ren. You’re free to do anything you wish now,” (The Prime Minister, Allomere)

“Noted,” (Druid Oz)

The Galhala King, the Galhala Queen, and the prime minister went to the royal castle to prepare for the second wave of attack towards the demonic base. The possibility of the second wave being needed is still unknown, that’s why preparation is absolutely necessary in case of emergency.

“They’ve gone, huh…” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz stared at the noble army that have gone to the distance. Even though they march by flying, they still have a neat formation as it would smooth the change of formations.

the supply convoys are brought by dozens of the owlfolk soldiers while flying, while some secondary supplies are brought with a carriage on the ground. It’s a measure made in case of the supply team brought by the flying team lost the supplies because of any reason.

From the look of it, the prime minister, Allomere, and the Galhala king seem to trust the nobles that are leading the first wave attack. Judging that they don’t look that worried, it means that the army commander must be capable.

(Since wars are the Galhala King’s virtue, since he’s not worried at all, it means that it would be fine. I guess having a commander that knows exactly when to retreat is very useful in this kind of battle) (Druid Oz)

“So? What are we going to do now?” (Geeta)

“We’re going to- Wait, you’re not going to prepare the second wave warriors with the king and queen, Claria?” Asked Druid Oz towards Claria as she’s just standing idly waiting for what Druid Oz will do just like Geeta and Azaline.

“I’m not going to be a part of the second wave, after all. It’s said that this time father will be the one leading the army instead,” (Claria)

“I-I see… So the Galhala King will be leading the army personally, huh… That’s unexpected…” (Druid Oz)

“Since the first wave will be taking quite a while, I guess I’m going to help for your quest,” Druid Oz shifted his gaze towards Azaline and Geeta.

“Our quest?” (Azaline)

“Why are you forgetting it for!? We came here to search for your mother, remember!?” (Geeta)

“A-Ah! That’s right! I completely forgot about it for a moment,” (Azaline)

“Don’t just forget your main objective, would you…?” (Druid Oz)

“How did you know?” (Azaline)

“I’m observing the imperial capital and the other clones as well, so of course I know. But the information you have is way too limited, let’s go back to the mansion first,” said Druid Oz as he tapped his staff, and a big green magic circle appeared below him.

“Get close, we’re warping towards the mansion,” (Druid Oz)

Following Druid Oz’s order, the three girls get near Druid Oz.

“Wha- You don’t need to link your arm with him! He’s my fiance!” Claria protested towards Geeta that linked her arm with Druid Oz’s.

“Isn’t it fine? I’m his fiance as well anyway. And I met him earlier than anyone, I believe I have enough privilege to do this,” (Geeta)

“Then I’m- Wha-” Claria that about to grab on Druid Oz’s other hand, Azaline got ahead of her and linked her arm with Druid Oz’s first.

“I met him first as well! You’re the last so you need to back down!” (Azaline)

“U-Um… Girls…?” (Druid Oz)

“It might be bad if we suddenly got warped to a different place from you, right?” (Geeta)

“Just warp us already, Ren!” (Claria)

“O-Okay…” Druid Oz tapped his staff to the ground, and in a split second, their scenery changed, and they arrive in front of the mansion.

*Sound of a door opened*

As if he could sense the arrival of Druid Oz and the three girls, Gor opened the mansion’s door and welcome Druid Oz and co to the mansion.

“Gor, prepare some drinks,” (Druid Oz)

Gor answered Druid Oz’s command with a bow and went to the kitchen.

“We’ve arrived, it’s fine to let go of my arm already, you know?” (Druid Oz)

“W-Well, it’s true, isn’t it…?” said Azaline as she reluctantly let go of Druid Oz’s arm together with Geeta.

“Now, it’s time to match our information. Before the second wave attack, we’ll try to search for Azaline’s mother whereabout,” (Druid Oz)

“””Okay!”””
