“Alex, can you tell us what happened out there? We need details.”

“Since no one knows about your whereabouts, the situation is not great for you. Shen is trying to wipe out the survivors who evaded the calamity.”Catherine spoke.

“I expected that much from that piece of **. Things might haven’t turned out like this if he had informed the Capital.” Alex spoke with disgust.

Creak!..

The door opened as Riya entered and as soon as she saw her sister, she gave a pleasant smile and engaged in some hearth talk after which Alex started to narrate the events.

They noticed Alex’s expression as he recounted it.

Riya’s body trembled as she remembered that experience while Alex’s hand gripped tightly to the armrest of the chair causing it to break into pieces.

His wives were horrified and lost their composure as they heard the tale. Alex also told them everything he had encountered till now in Arkham.

From encountering the dark elf to that dark pill and about the drought condition.

“I can’t believe Arkham is in such a pathetic state. I have heard about them from my people and it is a hundred times worse when you describe.” Yvonne spoke with a frown.

“That’s because the people here don’t step out onto the farmland. The land near the capital city and under major nobles is alright as the miasma was taken care of quickly but other regions like scattered villages and towns don’t have means to communicate and were taken over quickly.”

“Did you encounter any undead, “Athena asked.

Alex shook his head and spoke” This miasma is corrupting living beings and it doesn’t turn them into undead. The main problem is, it is taking away vitality. Even if the lands are purified they lose their fertility and due to lingering over lands for a prolonged period, it has gone deep inside the crust.”

“That means you haven’t encountered a single undead,” Christina spoke with disbelief.

Undead were like pests who sprang and crawled like ants with large numbers. If undead were wreaking havoc in Arkham, there was no way Arkham could get up on its feet.

Facing attacks from undead and demons would have already led to its doom.

“We have diverted from the topic a bit. So, let’s get on with it.” Alex stopped the conversation from leading somewhere else.

Alex tapped on the desk people were speaking, giving everyone a sense of uneasiness.

His personality seemed to have changed.

From the initial easygoing expression, he looks more like a demon currently.

“The borders are sealed by the demons and they would likely spread miasma and start advancing. It’s been a while since demons took over so what response is Kinley going to take?”

The four on the other side looked at each other wondering who would go first.

Finally, Christina stepped up.

“One and a halmonthsths from now.”

“Kinley is going to attack with full force. James and Hex are in charge of leading the troops.”

Alex’s brows furrowed with an uncanny expression.

“One and half months..”

“What the hell?”

“Why are they waiting for a month to attack? Shouldn’t there be an immediate response?”

Everyone noticed Alex’s grim expression.

“There are many reasons,” Yvonne muttered.

“They are waiting for Arkham to organise the forces. Kinley and Arkham had made some sort of deal we don’t know about.”

“Second is due to the Church.” Athena started to explain.

“Demons aren’t the primary problem, it’s the miasma. Demons aren’t affected by it and they could also control those who get affected. To cleanse it in one go, we need a large number of people from the Church and since most of the Church aren’t combatants, we need people to protect them”

“Our paladins might not be sufficient so for this, Kinley has called other Kingdom troops for protection.”

“I am not surprised to know that demons aren’t affected but I am surprised that they could control those who are affected. It’s weird but after hearing Dark Elves’ words, it seems Demons are worshipping the God of darkness.”Alex concluded.

“The situation is becoming tricky,” Catherine murmured.

“Wait! Does Arkham have enough manpower to attack the border at this time?” Riya spoke with a confused expression.

Alex shook his head and said, “No, they don’t have the luxury.”

“Currently, they are fueled by rage and want to take revenge. They couldn’t overpower the demons from the Northern side but with Kinley’s support at least they could soothe their anger on the border.”

“Haaaaa…..”

p “That’s why I feel one shouldn’t get involved in international affairs and politics.”

“It’s troublesome to fight in the war.”

Alex spoke with a sign.

“Hmm! You are just saying this. But you are the one who is most excited to run around on the battlefield.” Catherine snorted.

“You are accusing and defaming me. I am gentle…”

“You are the gentleman in terms of the beast,” Yvonne added.

Alex almost choked on his words and stared at each other and then burst into laughter.

After laughing for a bit, Alex informed them about his plans.

“Did our kingdom also get the call?”

“Yeah, we were asked to send 500 men to the coalition forces,” Catherine answered.

“Then I will try to sneak into Arkham forces and try to get to the other side by fighting my way.”

“Will you be alright?”

All his wives asked him at the same time with nicked expressions.

If it was previously, Alex could have said yes confidently but now he didn’t know.

What if another Supreme Rank appears on the battlefield? With vast miasma acting as fuel, Alex could go into dark mode but still, he wasn’t confident about defeating it.

‘Last time, he was able to steal blessings and divinity from the worshippers from the God Of Darkness but I may not be so lucky this time.’

Alex masked his uneasiness and spoke, “Don’t worry, I will be alright.”

“Since I have this now, we will keep communicating. So, now all of you should take a rest and then prepare for the forthcoming battle.”

“I will reach the other side even if I have to dig a sea filled with corpses,” Alex assures them with a chilling tone which instantly terrorizes them and at the same time also fills their heart with hope.
