Arlesk led Serkyrio to a meeting room as he contacted two more people to arrive to the castle. The news he had mentioned was something of grave importance, thus may require a full on meeting with all the rulers of the [Tranquil Harmony].
It took time to prepare for them in an emergency alliance meeting, but they were all quickly arranged to meet immediately. After they arrived to the main meeting room of the alliance, Arlesk led the discussion.
"One of the scouts had reported to me sightings of a fleet of ships heading towards the continent. They were believed to be pirates at first but they didn't feel like such according to the report." Arlesk continued to detail out the findings as he used the control panel to display the images sent by the scout team.
Remuel was the first to narrow his eyes as he easily recognized the essences of what will come.
"These... Are similar to the demons that I had fought a while ago..." The gazes of all rulers shifted towards Remuel as they could easily remember his report from the last monthly meeting.
"Ho? Then this means that there could possibly be land that we don't know about?" Serkyrio expressed his interest as he understood that there could potentially be another land that none of them could ever reach.
"That said, the global map only displays our continent... It's kind of hard to believe that there's another land or continent outside this area." The king of Omnidaxius expressed his doubts as he read the report document that was displayed on the table. The other rulers didn't really understand the information where another continent could be found somewhere far away and simply listened to the talk.
"Well, it's only a theory at this point but, the pressing matter is that they seem to have an intention of raiding an entire country. Their numbers would reach around seven thousand..." When they heard the number, they didn't feel that bad as it is the average size of an army. But Arlesk's continuation made them shudder. "Per ship that is." The knight king of Paladia quickly raised a question as he narrowed his eyes. "It's impossible for a ship to hold that many people, and multiple ships?!" Serkyrio interjected before things went out of control. "Our world has ships that can not only operate without a sail or rowing strength, but also have a capacity beyond tens of thousands of people. Anyways, continue Arlesk."
Arlesk nodded to Serkyrio's explanation and suggestion, allowing him to continue his report. "The scout team has only confirmed three ships coming towards the southern mercantile country, each containing a massive army of seven thousand demons each. We don't have any full confirmation as to what these demons do, but judging by the stereotype, they have full capabilities of magic in regards to summoning more demonic monsters, vastly improving their army." Serkyrio's eyes narrowed into a slit as he felt a good level of danger coming towards the country. In his mind, a thought crossed where he began calculating the chances against the enemies. "So we get to fight three armies that can summon at an average of five hundred monsters a second eh?" He simply smiled as he moved his gaze around the room, taking a glance at the three archons.
"That's all for the report, I suggest that we try to assist these people as much as we can. It would be an easy gain to the alliance if we managed to do so." Arlesk proposed for a quick response to the problem, he knew that there would be major risks involved for suddenly joining the fray where there could be potential casualties. He sent a glance towards each country leader asking them of their responses.
"Quisterion Kingdom will assist for this mission, the chances for us to attain world peace will be important, but if we left a country to die then we can't easily call ourselves that." The king of Quisterion quickly showed his approval, prompting other countries to participate in the deadly mission. "Paladia will join as well." One by one, they raise their hands to speak and seek permission to join the mission.
After each country spoke their participation, Arlesk moved his gaze towards Serkyrio to ask him to permit the action.
"I'll handle the southern country, each country will send only a hundred troops as defense lines. Scout team members Jaquinn and Collin, two [Guardians], and two [Sentinels] will be joining on the mission with me. Arlesk, Draxus, choose anybody you wish." With Serkyrio's calculation and announcement of a very little force from each country, they were filled with confusion as they initially thought that it was too insane for a person to only send seven hundred units against twenty one thousand demons. "Archons, join me as well just to formally introduce ourselves to those southerners." Draxus, Remuel, and Arlesk nodded at Serkyrio's suggestion.
"Arlesk, I'll be taking over for the strategy. You may sit down now." At Serkyrio's suggestion, Arlesk bowed and sat down on his seat. Allowing Serkyrio to continue the strategy plan.
"I'm giving each country three days to prepare the troops. The Heroes will remain in their countries, and the rest will be handled by my own hand." Serkyrio stood up and looked around the room, checking if each ruler, archon, and heroes are listening. "Now here's the strategy. There will be three groups, each one will hold a line against the enemy ships. Two groups will be handled by a scout team member as the lead, a [Sentinel] and a [Guardian] as sub-leaders. Those two groups will have three hundred soldiers ready for battle. One group will have only a hundred soldiers, but I will be acting as the lead. One more thing, each lead and sub-leads will be fighting at the very front line. This is to simply thin out the numbers so that the defense lines will not get overwhelmed." The royals started to have doubts whether Serkyrio can actually manage to hold the line by himself. However, a certain group of four rulers remembered what Serkyrio had done to the army of Bazylopia before. They began to shudder in fear as to what Serkyrio might do to the enemy army.
However, they all had a common thought. "Unavoidable death..."
The defeated group of royals felt a major chill once again as Serkyrio sighed. "Seems like these four understood the sheer power I hold." The king of Quisterion felt indifferent to Serkyrio's words, and spoke to fully confirm the amount of strength that Serkyrio holds. "If I remember correctly, you can fight Draxus, Remuel, and Arlesk all at once ang win right?" Serkyrio nodded to the king of Quisterion's question, which instantly shook all other royalties. "Before, I could win without a scratch, but I don't think that's possible now that Remuel reawakened, and Draxus has active souls." The archons shrugged their shoulders and sighed. "We still get beaten up though, even though we would go perfect coordination at full power, we would still get swept down by him." Draxus let out a comment which instilled the scary truth. It was then that everyone in this room agreed with something.
"Do not go against Serkyrio if you want to live." Their minds had that exact same thought.
