"We had 2 Emperors on our side while Lord Herms was alone.

Why didn't we kill him?

Even if he had some sort of trump card, with 1 Emperor less, wouldn't this war have been a lot easier?"

Eardwolf questioned with a confused look on his face.

In all honestly, after going through the [Slave Seal]'s pain 3 times, he had given up on all thoughts of resistance and has accepted his fate.

However, this didn't mean that he actually cared about Riona's or Nux's well-being. The only person he cared about was himself.

If Nux and Riona won the war, he would be able to live on as well. He didn't know how good his life would be now that he is a slave, however, as long as he gets to live, he wouldn't complain about anything.

Eardwolf was very scared of death.

Therefore, he deeply wished for Nux's victory's in this war.

Hearing his question, Riona's expression changed.

Then, she just sighed,

"What did I even expect…?"

She lamented.

"What?"

Eardwolf frowned.

He couldn't understand.

His question was genuine. Why was Riona acting like that?

Seeing the doubtful look on his face, Riona frowned and then questioned back,

"If you have 2 King Stage Cultivators on your side, would you be able to stop the enemy King Stage Cultivator from running away?"

Eardwolf's expression changed.

"Lady Astaria is strong, combined with Lord Alcimus, defeating Herms would not be difficult, however, killing him would be a different story. If Herms focuses on running away, even Lady Astaria wouldn't be able to stop him."

Riona explained and Eardwolf nodded in understanding.

Of course, they could injure him a little, but honestly, it wasn't worth the effort.

Actually, it was not like they couldn't kill Herms.

They had a way.

They had a sure-shot way to get rid of Herms once and for all.

And that was Nux.

His current trump card, [Blink Fault], killing Herms by using it was not simple. Both he and Herms would pass out once the attack connects, then with so many people there, Herms was as good as dead.

However, this method came with a cost.

And that cost was Nux.

Now, Nux was not some weak King Stage Cultivator, he was a man who drew against Astaria.

He was now on par with the strongest human in the world.

Exchanging him with Herms was… not a good trade.

Nux would wake up after 2 days, yes, however, what would happen in these 2 days wasn't sure.

Keeping Nux down in this critical stage was not a good option.

Also,

Alcimus was not exactly their ally.

They might act like one right now, however, a human heart cannot be seen through. There is a chance that he would attack Astaria with his army once Herms is dead.

No one would miss out on the opportunity of ruling the world after all.

Especially Emperors, beings who were filled with ambitions.

Of course, if something like this happened, then just like Herms, Astaria could escape as well, but what about Nux?

He would then become Astaria's weakness.

And that was something Nux would never allow.

Due to all these reasons, the plan to get rid of Herms was dropped, and with them getting practically no information out of this meeting, this Emperors' Meet was… pretty much useless.

"Well, it is not that bad."

Suddenly, Amaya spoke up.

Apparently, she had a different opinion.

"The Meet was not that useless.

Herms agreed to war even after knowing Amletus is dead.

He wouldn't have this confidence if he was just dependent on Amletus.

Although we still don't know what his trump card is,

We can definitely be sure that he has something up his sleeves."

"Meh, does it really matter?"

Suddenly, Nux spoke.

Then, he turned towards Astaria and a perverted smile appeared on his face,

"Don't I just need to defeat Lady Astaria? Once that happens, everything would be easy peasy."

Riona frowned, she couldn't understand.

She knew that this son-in-law of hers drew against Astaria and he might even have a chance to defeat her, but what after that?

What would happen after he defeats her?

Why was he acting as if victory was in his grasp?

"Keep dreaming, boy.

Don't forget, even after a whole week, you still haven't defeated me."

Astaria wasn't willing to give up either.

"It's not like you could defeat me either."

Nux just shrugged.

"I just need to perfect my sword, once that happens, defeating you would be as simple as flicking my fingers."

Astaria shrugged.

As she continued to spar with Nux, even she could feel she was improving.

She didn't know what it was, but she could feel something strange happening with her sword.

It somehow boosted her power.

However, it was still imperfect.

She still needed time to perfect it and she was sure that once she does,

Defeating Nux would be simple.

She would then again be the strongest.

The one and only being reigning on the top.

"Oh yeah? Well, I won't tell you, but I have a hidden card as well. Once I perfect that, defeating all the Emperors alone wouldn't be difficult for me either."

Nux spoke with a small smile on his face.

Astaria raised her eyebrow,

"Heh."

Other than letting out a laugh, Astaria didn't say anything else.

"Lady Astaria."

Suddenly, General Phorus walked towards Astaria.

"Lady Astaria, should I prepare the army?"

Astaria's face turned serious.

"Yes."

She ordered.

"Prepare all the troops,

I want all the soldiers to gather in front of me in 3 days.

I will personally lead all the soldiers."

Astaria announced.

"!!!"

Phorus's expression changed.

"D-Does that m-mean…?"

Astaria's eyes shined in determination and she nodded,

"Yes, it is now time the people learn about the Emperors. The real leaders of the Kingdom."

Phorus gulped, however, soon, he recollected himself and with a determined look on his face, he saluted,

"As you command, Lady Astaria!"

Saying those words, he turned around.

He only had 3 days, after all, he couldn't afford to waste any second.

After he left, Winston walked towards Astaria and bowed,

"I would like to take my leave as well."

Many Shadow Unit members were out on different missions, he needed to regather them.

Astaria nodded.

Seeing everyone leaving, a strange feeling arose in Nux's heart.

It was indeed a War.

And not a fake war where Nations don't even use all their power,

This… this would be the first real war in the history of this continent.
