Chapter 64 Underestimate The Threat.
"Well, the official meeting can finally begin." He said in a majestic tone.
A deadly silence fell on the meeting room after Alvine pronounced her last sentence.
'I have never been so humiliated throughout my demonic sovereign life. Damn, this arrogant kid, who does he think he's for? And what does he want to show us by wearing this damn crown?' Even though Alice had a neutral smile on her lips, her heart was bleeding in her chest. She had always enjoyed being superior to others. But today, because of her respect for Sabrina, she had removed her crown and placed it in front of herself and the others had done the same by thinking that as they were fighting for the same cause, they will have to fight side by side without hierarchy. But this brazen had actually dared to put his crown on his head!
Apart from her, Hades, Grumphy, and Gramphy had similar remarks. As for Yury, even if usually, she didn't let her kinds of brazens pass...
But strangely, Alvine's bold action did not bother her at least. Instead, she rather had a mysterious smile on her lips when her gaze ran through her arrogant sovereigns who always thought they were at the top of the food chain!
"Umm, Alvine, I think wearing a wreath in this kind of meeting can be misinterpreted. If you want my opinion, you may have to put it on the table like all the others. After all, our alliance bears the name of the alliance of equality. As such, the hierarchy... must not have its place. I hope you understand what I mean by that?" Noticed Celestia after seeing half of the sovereigns set Alvine with hostility when he wore his crown.
He could not hope for better when he heard Celestia's words. "I don't understand what you mean by that Madam Dean. «The alliance of equality»? I don't remember saying I was one of them. «The others will start imagining things»? Since when did I say that I cared about the opinion of others about myself?" He said, placing his chin in his palm. While he was saying his words, his harmless smile made his teeth shine with a satisfying shine!
"If I don't wear my crown in my castle, where do I go? Moreover, do not forget that the three sovereigns addressed me in this way because they did not recognize me as the master of the place. If I remove this crown, there may be another small incident, don't you think? If someone wants to intimidate me to force me to remove my crown in my own castle just have to show up to see!" He said in a sarcastic tone while staring at Alice who could no longer hide her anger with a mischievous smile.
'Holly God, what kind of excuse can this be? Are you intimidated? Is that a joke I hope?! Sigh, it's a good thing that he’s so imposing as that in the end. With him, the future of our race seems bright!' Thought Celestia.
"Well, now that everything is settled and our dean has guaranteed to prevent these sovereigns from intimidating a weak young master..." He was a nod to the dean...
'...What?!'- the dean.
Then continued. "The meeting can finally begin for the last time. What do you expect from us? Or rather my subordinates?" They question them.
"If you allow me..." Cheera stood out among them. "In previous meetings, Empress Alichphar had proposed that we ally with you. According to her, your group is the only one that can help us reverse things!" She says in a melodious tone. "Honestly, I didn't believe her at first, but after attending such a scene... Fufu, I have the strong intuition that if you join us in this war, there is a good chance that we will see light at the end of this dark period!" She Continued.
"Alice, what do you know about us?" Hearing the information given by the Queen of Elves, Alvine's mistrust of Alice crosses another level.
Seeing Alvine stare at her with his frown, Alice could not help but sigh. "Sigh, Queen of the Elves, can you stop sowing discord between us? The reason I wanted you to become our ally was purely for the sole purpose of using the skills of Sabrina and others. Two years ago, when I mobilized my best men to help her free you, she promised me that in the future she would offer me a single chance to ask her for any favor. As long as it was something in her power, she would not hesitate to help me. After this episode, I told her about the new extraterrestrial threat to our continent. But to my surprise, when I described the characteristics of this new breed, I could read in her eyes that she knew much more than I think. How we knew absolutely nothing about them... not even the names of their breeds! Not to mention all the problems that follow them."
"After insisting, she only revealed to me the name of their race... the VALSKAR. She categorically refused any leak of information on her part. I invited her to our meetings dozens of times... but she never set foot there. So this time, we have not only decided to hold our next meeting in your castle, but we also want you to be part of our Peace and Fighting Alliance for our planet. As for their appearances, they do not have a fixed shape. Some are the same size as humans, demons, and even giants! But the only thing they have in common is the color of their skins, which is crimson red and longhorn in the middle of their heads." She explained while crossing her arms under her chest.
"Why is she so stubborn?! If you refuse to provide us with all the necessary help, we will not only be the only victims! You yourself will eventually die!" Hades exploded with anger and spoke his words in an angry tone.
"Emperor Hades! Don't behave like a fifty-year-old kid! You are one of the sovereigns of the human continent. So please behave well!". Yury advised him in an annoying tone. She and Hades always disagreed. It was not something that has just begun.
"Tsk, I don't have time to quarrel with you today. I'm nothing but the truth!" He affirmed while staring at Sabrina.
"Humph, it's not low-ranking Valskars that can threaten our lives. We had already killed ten of them when they were snooping around our castle last year." Proudly retorted Nicco while bulging his chest.
"*BAM* Humph, do you boast of killing waste? I wonder if you will have such arrogance in front of a Valskar of holy rank!" He exclaimed, hitting the table under the effect of his anger.
"If you cause a single scratch on my table, you will repay it with double its amount," Alvine spoke at the other end of the table.
"UGH! Tsk." Hearing Alvine's voice, Hades sat on his chair like an obedient child.
"Hehe, what are you thinking about? Look at his horns!" Said Ashia by taking out three purple horns and putting them in front of Hades! Each horn was about 70cm long.
"!!!!" When Ashia put these horns on the table, everyone looked unbelieving, his eyes were not fixed on Ashia, but everyone looked at the horns as if they saw ghosts in front of them!
"Ashia, Nicco! What are you both playing? Damn it! Put these things away right away! Don't force me...
Even before Sabrina could finish her sentence, Celestia could not help exclaiming. "Holy crap! Valskar of holy rank! You mean you killed three holy Valskar and her acolytes on your own?!"
"No, no, no you misunderstood me. They were all of the holy ranks! According to Lady Rina, they had come to investigate the kingdom of Aralay...
"That's enough Nicco! Shit! Why do I have such stupid subordinates?!" She said, lamenting her bad luck. Now that everyone had seen her purple horns, she knew that they would no longer be able to get rid of her embarrassment. She took a deep breath and exhaled a breath of hot air as if she were trying to calm down. After three rehearsals, she began to speak while all the attention was drawn to her. "As most of you know, the rank of a Valskar is easily identifiable through the color of their unique horn. Like the color of our mana that changes according to rank. For example, dark blue for spiritual ranks, purple for holy ranks... and red for emperor ranks!" She said in a depressed tone.
"What?!
"W.....
"What?! You mean they have a rank emperor in their ranks?!" Even Alice was not calm when Sabrina talked about the existence of an emperor-ranking Valskar!
Seeing their reactions, Alvine frowned. 'No wonder Sabrina said they have no chance in front of them. And I think there must be more than a dozen Valskar emperors in their ranks!' He said to Himself.
"Sigh, I'm not saying he had "a" Valskar emperor in their ranks..." She affirmed, shaking her head. She could hear sighs of relief throughout the room when she had not even finished her sentence. But before everyone understood wrongly, she exploded the bubbles of hope that floated above their heads with her following words. "By this, I mean that they must countless about a hundred Valskar emperors in their armies!" She Continued.
"!!!"
"It's just an estimate. So don't be surprised if there are more in the future. After all, there are more than ten million. And there are no civilians in their armies. This means that the ten million Valskar are all well-trained soldiers! You now understand why you have no chance against them?!" She concludes her little speech with a small reminder.
...
...
...
After more than three minutes of silence, Yury's eyes suddenly widened when she stared at Ashia and the others. "I just remembered something. If you were able to kill so many Valskars of holy ranks, how did you survive the divine punishment that comes back after their deaths?!" She said in a roque voice.
"I never say it was a punishment. That's just what explodes in them after their deaths." She declared when she came out a purple nucleus the size of an adult fist. "It is the mana core that forms as an orb when a Valskar dies."
"!!!"
Alvine got up suddenly on her chair. "Sabrina," explains to everyone all the details about the Valskar."
"At your orders, master." She says with her head down.
