In a mansion, a group of people were sitting around a table. The atmosphere was cold and each of them possessed a strong pressure around their bodies.
The meeting of the Five Master Clans and the representative of each faction.
Souta was sitting beside Genzu, Heido, and Santu. The four of them were from the Holy Land Olympus.
Souta folded his arms in front of him as he observed the other people in the room.
The Heads of the Five Master Clans possessed great power and authority in this nation. Schine Windi was the oldest while Hoei Methal was the youngest but their strength should be close to each other. Even if Schine was strong, the only advantage he had was that he had more experience than Hoei.
Souta turned his head and glanced at the representatives of the Holy Lands.
The Heavenly Court had two representatives; Shen Yao and Li Guan. Shen Yao was the woman that he met in the colosseum.
As for Li Guan, he was quite strong but he wasn't on the same level as Shen Yao. He was a monster with brown fur covering his body. He was one of the monsters that lived on Primate Island, the land governed by the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
The Takamagahara had three representatives; Naruse, Manaka, and Ichisaki.
Souta didn't know the other two but one of them was quite famous.
Naruse Ichimon from the famous Ichimon Clan. She was a young prodigy and the Shrine Maiden of the Dragon God Ryujin. She received the blessing of a powerful monster lord in her land and became the youngest Shrine Maiden at the age of eight. She was fourteen years old now.
The Holy Land Aaru had three representatives but Souta only looked at Omari Adel.
The famous Adel, the Child of the Flesh and War. A warrior from a vast desert that slaughtered countless people that threatened his land. He was a warrior with unbelievable speed. His name could be compared to Naruse, the Shrine Maiden of Ryujin, and Shen Yao, the Priestess of the First.
'Omari Adel... If I'm not wrong, he will receive Anubis' blessing in the future.' Souta rubbed his chin.
Asgard had four representatives; Asfrith, Vincent, Narkel, and Freduim.
The most famous one was Asfrith who was called the Inheritor of Earth. In the future, he would terrorize the land and would fight his enemies nonstop until he broke through the Freedom Realm.
Vincent was strong too but he hadn't done enough for people to hear his name.
The group with the strongest battle power was none other than the angels. They sent several strong people to this country. They had a total of five representatives and not all of them were here. There were four more angels outside which possessed great powers.
The angel that led them was called Kasci, a man with three pairs of wings on his back. He also had a pair of wings on the side of his head, covering his face.
Kasci was a powerful angel under the legion of Gabriel. He possessed great power and was tasked to hold the Army of Gluttony in this land. None of his peers could rival him in his land and he, alone, shone more brightly than the rest.
Some factions didn't send their people to Selnes Country. Instead, they sent them to the other two battlefields, the principality and the republic.
There were other strong people from Large Countries too. But they weren't as eye-catching as the ones from the Holy Lands. They were low-key but Souta recognized a few of them who would become famous in the future.
It was really a gathering of the future powerhouse.
Souta observed everyone and calculated the overall forces in this place and slowly compared it to the enemy. He knew that this wasn't going to be an easy battle.
Schine, the Head of the Windi Clan, looked at everyone and slowly asked, "What's your opinion on this matter? The Army of Gluttony will arrive soon. It's just the first batch, should we eliminate it or not?"
"It depends on you. What do you want? I'll just do my job. If you want to annihilate them then I'll help you." Shen Yao said.
Kasci glanced at Shen Yao before he turned to the Five Master Clans. "Eliminate them. There's no point in buying more time."
Schine nodded and looked at the rest of the factions.
"I'll just do what the majority wants," Souta said.
"Fight. I came here because I heard that there would be a great battle." Adel said.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Let the low-ranks fight first. Test their strength and look for the high-ranks of the enemy." Naruse said.
"I agree with Naruse," Asfrith said.
The representatives of Large Countries also expressed their opinions about this matter.
Giving up the Selnes Country didn't cross anyone's mind at the moment.
There was no way that they were going to do that without fighting.
All of them were veterans. They were honed by countless battles that they experienced.
"Okay, we'll eliminate the Army of Gluttony once they've arrived here," Schine said in a loud voice.
The rest of the people weren't against the decision except for a few. The majority still wanted to exterminate the Army of Gluttony as soon as possible. They wanted to utilize the All Filter Barrier Formation. If the enemy was too strong then they would retreat inside the barrier.
Souta stayed silent and just observed everyone. The war was problematic but it felt like something was wrong with this entire situation.
While he was in deep thought, a familiar sound echoed in his mind.
*Ding!*
[Quest Triggered!!]
The war is coming! Choose your side to fight.
>Alliance Army
>Army of Gluttony
The next quest will depend on your choice.
Souta narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone. He silently chose the side of the Alliance Army.
*Ding!*
[War]: The Army of Gluttony will first meet a resistance in three lands. You're in the Selnes Country camp. Contribute to the war against Gluttony as you defeat his soldiers.
The first batch of the Army of Gluttony is approaching. Defeat them.
Rewards: 500,000 experience points, 11 free attribute points, and 6 skill points
'First batch...'
Souta was sure that the defeat of the first batch of the Army of Gluttony was inevitable. The problem was the upcoming army. The one that was led by Shackled Realm experts.
'Souta, don't trust anyone...' Saya's voice echoed in his mind.
'I know...' Souta replied to her.
There was no way to break the barrier unless there was a traitor among the Five Master Clans. In the game, the war occurred in this land so the possibility of a traitor was high.
The meeting continued for half an hour...
After that, the group dispersed and they gathered their armies near the south gate of the country.
Hundreds of warriors gathered at the south gate and each one of them was emitting a strong aura. The citizens were watching from afar, cheering them to return with a great victory.
Various warriors from the Holy Lands and Large Countries lined up while the soldiers from the Selnes Country were in the front. Each of the representatives and commanders stood in front of their men without fear in their eyes.
Souta slightly turned his head and asked, "Where's the three?"
"I don't know. They haven't returned yet." Alice replied to him. "They probably got in trouble or maybe they got busy and forgot about the time."
"Then, what happened in the tournament yesterday?" Souta said.
"I heard that the one who won the battle was an angel named Vance. He beat all of his opponents including Franklin, Eztein, and Vashno." Alice said.
Souta moved his eyes and glanced at the section of the angels.
A subordinate of Kasci.
Hmm...
He was quite strong. No wonder even Vashno lost to this guy. He was on the same level as Heido and Santu.
"So where are they?" Souta asked.
"After they finished the tournament, I don't know where they've gone," Alice said.
"Sigh... Those three... I'll talk to them later." Souta sighed.
The gate made a mechanical sound and it slowly opened, revealing a long and wide bridge.
"Soldiers!! Advance!!"
Schine voices echoed throughout the entire army. Everyone heard him and the soldiers of the Selnes Country followed their leader.
The other factions followed behind the main army of the Five Master Clans.
At this time, Souta took a careful look and analyzed the strength of each group. Of course, this wasn't the overall might of the Five Master Clans and the other factions. Some of their people were left behind in their bases while some were patrolling around the streets across the country. After all, the first batch of enemies just consisted of low ranks with the Solidifying Realm as the strongest.
There were hundreds of Shackled Realm experts so naturally, the enemy wouldn't stand a chance.
The army passed through the bridge and stopped on the vast plains, looking ahead with a fierce look on their plains.
After a while, they finally saw thousands of men marching several kilometers away from their position.
