Planning to kill Deathroit:
Drakel: I think the best way is to fight it in water.
Black Wave: So you want me to take care of that monster?
Drakel: If you look at the picture, you can see that it seems to be traveling east, which means Deathroit will travel to the Sea of Calmera.
Black Wave: Now that you mention it, I think it should be us who fight that demon.
Drakel: Okay. Are you okay with that, Pope?
Pope: Yes. Please continue.
Drakel: Yes, Pope. As this demon moves, I am certain that lesser monsters will gather. So, my plan is to lead it towards human beings.
Queen: Why humans? Aren't there stronger beings than them?
Drakel: I know you have an affinity for humans because you are human yourself, but excessive favoritism may lead them to become greedy, like the Hero (in a serious tone).
Queen: Why do you compare us to the Hero? Is it because the Hero is human?
Drakel: Please, Queen. I understand. I apologize. I am offering advice to be a good leader. It's not just that humans are weak; they need confidence, especially when facing a sudden war. Agh, why am I lecturing this child?
Other leaders laugh.
Queen: I apologize, Mr. Drakel.
(Hidden truth about Queen of Tears: She is 30 years old with the face of a young girl of 20, a newcomer to the roundtable of kings.)
Drakel: Are you okay now?
Queen: Yes.
Drakel: If you're alright, Pope, are you okay with this?
Pope: Okay.
Drakel: Now, for the backup plan, I will mention this because it sometimes occurs when a strong demon emerges—an ambush. If this situation arises, the Dragon family will mobilize as we can travel faster. If humans come under attack, the designated location should be the Bulk Mountain. The terrain is elevated, giving an advantage in that position. Black Wave, I know you can defeat this demon easily, but be cautious of higher-ranking demons that may be following Deathroit. If my calculations are correct, Deathroit will be there in 2 weeks. That is all. If you approve, Pope, we should prepare to move out.
Pope: Okay, I approve. This concludes the meeting. You may now disperse, and Shadow Blade, please remain; I need to discuss something with you.
Shadow Blade: Yes.
The other leaders exit and teleport to their respective kingdoms while Drakel and the Queen have a discussion.
Drakel: Queen, we need to talk about humans.
Queen: What about them?
Drakel: It concerns the Hero. I am the oldest leader in this group, and I know the Hero.
