In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Her eyes kept glancing at Maria, who was staring ahead silently, as if nothing was happening. After a long struggle in her heart, she couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Are you still thinking about that girl?"

"…Why do you think so?"

Maria looked at Lamaren in front of her strangely.

Perhaps Ramalen herself didn't react, because her face was slightly pouting at this moment, and her sexy face made her look particularly attractive with such an action.

The slightly red lips look like they make you want to take a bite.

But Maria didn't have so many thoughts.

"I'm thinking about the current situation..."

"situation."

After hearing that Maria was not thinking about Theresa, Ramalen's tone relaxed a lot. After hearing that she was thinking about the situation, she nodded slightly.

"how do you feel?"

"……do not know."

Maria shook her head.

According to the intelligence they had obtained before, the Blood Demon and the Lich had led most of the living forces in their royal courts. In theory, the strength of these two sides should be the highest.

But at the moment, the situation is not like this.

Excluding the banshees who had to relocate to Kazdel due to the fall of the royal city, the strongest ones are actually the scavengers... Although Maria thinks that they are not very good, in fact, as the current god of war in Sakaz, the scavenger king Neczre is still extremely powerful.

Although the enemy is not as numerous as Blood Demon and his men, their combat effectiveness is definitely the highest.

Not to mention that these people had experienced a bloody battle before arriving in Kazdel, and the morale of the soldiers after the war was completely incomparable to that of other races!

If Maria guessed correctly, the other party's original purpose was probably to target the leader of the Sarkaz who was now leaderless.

only……

The banshees became the cause of the incident.

Compared to other royal courts that only mobilized elite forces, the banshees were mobilized in full force, and their strength was definitely number one.

This is also the reason why Maria had agreed with Neczrei that she would lead the Sarkaz to win the war.

The most important thing is that Maria has the support of the banshees, so she can almost certainly take on the role of leader.

Although Maria was very confident in her abilities, even after experiencing the ambush outside the Banshee King City, Maria was even more certain that she could definitely fight against ten thousand people alone, and it was not a problem for her to stop an entire enemy army alone.

But before she could be discovered by the Sky Beast, and before she could use her purest power, Maria was not sure if she could provide timely support to the battlefields in all directions.

So even if she thought it was troublesome, she still needed to gather the current Sarkaz.

Maria took a deep breath, shook her head, and after clearing the unnecessary thoughts from her mind, she walked into the conference room with Ramalen.

On this side, other lords of the royal court had already arrived here early.

It is worth mentioning that although there is no distinction between high and low in the royal court, in fact, as a Sarkaz that values ​​strength, everyone will find a position that they think is suitable.

Except for the Demon King's towering throne with its back against the huge floor-to-ceiling window, which was still unoccupied, lined up on both sides were the Blood Demon, Scavenger, and Lich that Maria had just thought of.

The Lich came this time not as the Lord of the Royal Court, but more like a representative, so he just stood behind his position without saying a word.

And opposite the Lich, to the left of the Scavenger... is a two-seater.

The significance is self-evident.

After realizing this, Maria and Ramalen didn't say much. Under the strange gazes of the other lords of the royal court, the new Banshee Lord pulled her princess and sat down.

The blood demon Dukare, who was diagonally opposite to the right, naturally noticed the two visitors.

But there was no intention to speak.

He held a red wine glass with his new right arm, from which bursts of scarlet energy emanated.

"..."

Maria just glanced at it and then looked away.

And with the last of the Banshee Court taking their seats, the royal court now assembled in the Sakaz has completed its assembly.

But because the Demon King was not there, everyone just remained silent and didn't say a word.

Logically speaking, at this time, the meeting should be initiated by one of the most powerful banshees, blood demons, scavengers, or liches present.

But obviously, the banshees didn't want to act rashly. The scavengers had no intention of presiding over the meeting after their last sparring match with Maria, and the liches... they had always been acting weird, and no one knew what they were thinking.

The Blood Demon's Ducare was defeated by Maria last time, and he no longer had the idea of ​​taking the initiative.

For a moment, the meeting that was supposed to start was now silent.

In the gray conference room, the only sound was the ticking of the clock.

Outside the window, the clouds were swaying slowly.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the Lord of the Royal Court, who was sitting at the end, finally raised his head slightly.

Everyone also looked in the direction he was moving.

A moment later, Theresa and Theresis appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone."

Theresa's face still had that gentle expression, her eyes slightly lowered.

"If you don't know how to conduct a meeting... then I'll be willing to start the conversation for you."

The girl's words were gentle and there was indeed nothing wrong with what she said.

But for some Sarkaz who claim to be noble, they couldn't help but frown.

Someone raised an objection on the spot.

"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to preside over the meeting?"

"I know you may be dissatisfied with me, but with the threat of the coalition forces, I think these are just minor details..."

"That has nothing to do with you... This is not the place for you."

The lords of the royal court at the end of the list obviously did not know the girl's origins. They just felt that this meeting should not be opened by the four families sitting at the top of the meeting, nor should it be spoken by a junior who was not even a noble and whose race was unknown.

As the words were spoken, they waved.

Some of the followers they brought with them began to come forward and prepare to drive the two men away.

Tracy, who was protecting his sister, had the same stiff expression as always.

He just held the sword.

Since Theresa said she would preside over the meeting, he wouldn't say too much.

He would never retreat until Theresa told him to!

And Tracy's actions also aroused the disgust of many lords of the royal court.

They were already annoyed enough just attending this meeting where there was almost nothing to discuss, and now there were even some juniors who dared to threaten them...

Where is the majesty of the royal court?!

On the spot, many people stood up with unfriendly looks.

Theresa, who was standing by, was finding it difficult to maintain her smile.

Although she knew that it was not easy to talk to these people from the old royal court, it was obvious that these people's stubbornness exceeded her imagination.

Although she knew that this was not a good time, she still began to hesitate whether to take out her certificate in advance.

but……

"Knock knock knock."

At the end of the conference table, Maria tapped lightly on the surface.

When the other lords of the royal court saw the most powerful banshee take action, they froze in their tracks.

They turned their heads and looked at each other.

Is it the Banshee Princess who suddenly announced her appearance?

Why did she speak?

In doubt, they turned their attention to Ramalen who was standing beside them.

This new Banshee Lord, whom none of them knew, was already not majestic enough, and now she had a princess from a foreign race, and she even brought the princess with her to attend such an important meeting... Although the Banshees were also mysterious before, their actions now made everyone a little confused.

Facing the gazes of others, Lamaren said nothing. She just sat quietly and dignifiedly in her seat, leaning against Maria, without saying a word.

In desperation, several lords of the royal court looked at each other and then looked at Maria.

"Banshee Princess...is there anything you want to say?"

"No."

Maria spoke calmly, with just two simple words, but everyone present was confused.

Meanwhile, the scavenger, Niezrei, understood what Maria meant.

After a pause, he nodded slightly.

“Time should not be wasted on meaningless things.”

"Agree."

The Lich Representative spoke, his voice calm.

"..."

Ducare.

"This……"

Several lords of the royal court looked at each other and were a little hesitant.

But after a moment, they sat down.

Although Dukare did not speak, three of the four royal courts had spoken, and they had nothing more to say.

No one is stupid enough to go against the current companies.

The originally tense situation was temporarily eased.

Theresa, who saw this scene, also let out a long sigh.

She looked at the two banshees who were resting with their eyes closed with gratitude, then she mustered up her courage, straightened her chest, and walked silently to the side of the Demon King's position.

Stand still.

Her pink eyes swept across everyone present. In the darkness, her figure with her back to the sun was like a small white flower growing in the wasteland.

It looks so fragile and soft.

"I think everyone has many questions about the current situation, and many things you want to ask..."

“But all of this should be put aside.”

"Now, there is only one word worth discussing."

"Where should we go next?"

Theresa didn't use any words to start her speech... In fact, everyone knew that there were too many things going on nowadays, and there would always be trivial matters to discuss.

Now, there is only one person who can truly influence everyone present.

Are they going to hold on to Kazdel?

"According to the intelligence we've received, the first arriving troops will launch a exploratory attack in ten days at most. At the latest, the coalition forces will be fully assembled and complete the siege of Kazdel in a month."

Theresa said, her eyes sweeping across the people present with determination.

"Once that time comes, Kazdel will be completely surrounded... and there's still time. Everyone, Kazdel, should we hold on?"

Theresa explained the current situation in simple terms.

At most, in a month, the coalition forces will arrive and assemble.

Are these Sarkaz determined to defend this city, which is sacred in the eyes of all Sarkaz, to the death?

Even though it has been destroyed by war countless times, even though it has collapsed many times.
