On the day Claria notified the Galhala King and the prime minister, Allomere about the location of the demon’s base, the Galhala King immediately send envoys to inform the kingdom’s nobles about the information.

The whole kingdom reacts quickly. Not long, dozens of message birds went back, bringing the replies from the nobles, and all of them conveyed their will for supporting the kingdom, and to give their personal troops.

But the next day, as if the demons know that their base’s location got leaked, Druid Oz jumped in shock as he saw the number of demons that about to approach the Galhala Kingdom.

“I need to notify everyone! It’s a surprise attack!” (Druid Oz)

It’s still dawn.

Druid Oz acts quickly.

He immediately wakes up Claria that is obviously sleeping in a different room with him.

“Hm? Ren? What happens? Want to sleep together?” Asked Claria with a sleepy tone.

“The demons are advancing with an army with number several folds bigger than before, I’ll go notify your father and the others,” said Druid Oz with a gentle tone as he gently wakes Claria up.

“Uh… O-Okay…” (Claria)

After waiting several moments, Claria finally able to process Druid Oz’s words, and she immediately stands up.

“I-It’s not the time to be dozing off!!!” Claria went out of the house, transformed into her owl form, and dashes towards the royal palace.

When Druid Oz arrived at the royal castle, he saw that the Galhala King, the Galhala Queen, and the prime minister, Allomere had already wake up.

“A-All of you are awake…” (Druid Oz)

“What happened, Ren?” Asked the Galhala King as he realized Druid Oz sensed something.

“The demons. They are coming with a great army. Roughly 400,000 in number utmost. I believe they will ignore the other cities and come straight to the royal capital just like before!” (Druid Oz)

“I see… So that’s the reason why we can’t sleep well last night, huh…?” (Galhala king)

“Can’t sleep?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes. You can say that this is the hunch of a ruler, Ren. As usual, thanks for your early warnings,” said the Galhala King as he about to ask the guards to summon his generals.

“Wait, Galhala King. The number of the demons coming is greater, but it’s not the real problem that I’m concerned with,” said Druid Oz with a stern face.

The Galhala King, the Galhala Queen, and the prime minister, Allomere are slightly shocked by Druid Oz’s unusually anxious face. Druid Oz had always brimmed with confidence and calmness, but yet, this time he’s kind of losing his cool.

“And the real problem is?” Asked the Galhala king as he narrowed his eyes.

“They’re coming with their main army. At least a part of their main army. These are not demonized magic beasts or Owlfolks or anything else. The demons that are coming towards here are genuine demons that came from the demon realm. Please don’t let your guard down,” Warned Druid Oz.

“I see… If you’ve said that much, then it means that the kingdom is indeed under such great danger. Allomere, tell all of the generals to join hands this time, and muster all of our warriors to the east walls. Sent some scouts as well,” (Galhala King)

“Consider it done,” Answered the prime minister, Allomere, indifferently.

“I’ll be taking control of the defense strategy myself, please don’t let Claria out. Just tell her I want her to learn from my tactics, and don’t let her go into the battlefield as well,” said him before he left.

“An overprotective one as usual, huh… But since he said that much, it means that he believes your words completely, Ren. The enemy this time must be so dangerous, that’s what you mean, right?” Asked the Galhala King.

“Yes. I’ll be waiting at the east walls first and try to stall their time here and ready the cards I’m going to use. Mother, please make sure Charnia didn’t do anything reckless,” (Druid Oz)

“I won’t take my eyes off Charnia, thanks for being a great ally of this kingdom, future son-in-law,” said the Galhala Queen as she pats Druid Oz’s soldiers.

“It’s my pleasure, now if you permit me, I’ll take my leave first,” Druid Oz transformed into an owl form and dashes towards the east walls.

(This time, there is no room for handicap. I’ll use all of the things I have!) (Druid Oz)

When Druid Oz arrived at the East walls, Claria had already waiting idly there. It seems that he ordered one of the soldiers to notify the other generals in her stead so that she could wait for Druid Oz and take measures at the east walls faster.

“Ren!” (Claria)

“Claria, wait a minute, I need to summon my army,” said Druid Oz as he transformed back to his druid form.

Druid Oz raises his staff and gathers an enormous amount of nature mana towards his staff. Countless amount of green particles gathers at his wooden staff and shone a dazzling green light together.

After thinking that he gathered enough mana, Druid Oz chants his spell.

“Druid Summoning: [Treant Army]!” Druid Oz shouted the spell, and thousands of green magic circles appeared outside the east walls.

From each magic circle, trunks slowly appear and keep on getting bigger. Countless trees suddenly grew at that barren side, and unexpectedly for Claria and the other soldiers, the trees grew limbs. They rise from the ground and walked.

“Whoa! What are they!?” (Claria)

“They are my army of treants. I could only summon 2,000 of them for now, I’ll be sending 500 to stall and test the strength of the demons, and you can use the rest as a shield and sacrifice at your disposal,” said Druid Oz as he slightly pants.

“I see… R-Ren, are you okay?” Asked Claria, concerned.

“It’s just that summoning that lots of them consumed a great amount of nature mana. But it’s fine, my mana will be fully recovered when the demons come so you don’t need to worry, Claria. I’ll just rest for a while,” said Druid Oz as he sits at on top of the walls.

“Isn’t it would be better if you rest at a safer place? I-It’s not like you’re a bother to the others, it’s just that you might get caught off-guarded if we suddenly got attacked…” (Claria)

“It’s fine. You can just focus on our warriors and our defense. You’re the commander of the battle, aren’t you?” (Druid Oz)

The word ‘our’ turns out to give a big impact on Claria as her cheeks slightly reddens when she heard it.

(O-Ours… Somehow… It felt like…) (Claria)

But Claria recovers quickly and regains her composure. She understands the danger of the current situation, so without wasting any more time, Claria once again checks on the soldiers that already on stand by at the east walls.

(This is not the time to get flustered, Claria! You can ask to be pampered by Ren after the battle finished, for now, as a general princess, you need to be focus!!) (Claria)

“Prepare all of the ballista and the catapults! Magicians! Archers! Into position!” (Claria)

Claria swiftly commanded the soldiers and they get into position quickly because of it. Not long after, the rest of the royal soldiers finally arrived together with all of the generals of the kingdom at the east walls.

Just like at the first time the demons attacked, the Galhala king and the prime minister, Allomere come to the walls to witness the battle while this time, Charnia is being watched by the Galhala Queen personally a the royal palace.

“Claria! Ren! We’ve brought the soldiers!” (The prime minister, Allomere)

“Claria!” The Galhala King called out Claria as he transformed into his human form.

“Yes, father?” (Claria)

“For this time, the one commanding the fight will be Allomere. I want you to witness Allomere’s tactics and improve yourself better,” (The Galhala king)

Even though the reason behind the order is because they are worried about Claria’s safety, Claria captured the Galhala King’s words with a different meaning.

“A-Am I still too weak…?” Asked Claria as she lowered her face in disappointment.

“No. I didn’t mean that. If you’re too weak, then the other generals won’t accept you to be their leader regardless it’s me or Allomere that recommends you. You…” The Galhala King stared at the distance where the army of demons will be coming.

“You will see the reason why Allomere asked to command the army himself soon…” (The Galhala King)
