Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 35: News

Theodore arrives at the Department of Magic a few hours later, but instead of bringing Adrian, he brings news of his death.

Of course everyone did not believe the report he brought, but of course they did not want to look bad in the eyes of the heir to the throne Vasilius by accusing him of carrying false information. "Did you see Adrian die before your eyes?"

Theodore snorted in annoyance, "Indeed I didn't see him die. But I saw the body with my own eyes" he said, "I could have brought the body, but I thought it was inappropriate."

"I'm sorry, not that I don't believe you, but that the living corpses are as strong as they can get Adrian killed?" Marcus asked, as a Magus, he was famous for speaking informal language to the royal family.

"That's the problem," Theodore snorted louder, "who attacked them was not an undead, but a bunch of silver human-shaped puppets."

Theodore's words left everyone dumbfounded, "From his features, they were just like spider monsters ambushing people sent to the southeast, silver bodies and green eyes," he said.

"Thus ... Those demons still had other soldiers besides the undead." Ferdinand says.

"Seeing the creature that possessed Count Bellezza during the debutante party a few months ago, it seems there is indeed a possibility that there are still other soldiers who have not been deployed." Marcus.

"Also it was the devil who killed David Mataushe." A top official of the Department of Magic from Petra asked the question, he was the Sage Hassan Albattanius. His face flushed red, he really hated the demon that had killed his comrade.

"It feels like deja vu." Inner Theodore.

"Luckily, when I'm inspecting west and north, there's still no sign of movement, but we'll see progress on my next patrol." Answer Theodore.

Theodore's patrol route was. The Central Headquarters of the Western Continent Alliance - Western Defense Post - Northern Defense Post - Southeast Defense Post - Southern Defense Post - Department of Magic (if needed).

He would make such a rotation in approximately two days including rest, then he would return to patrol after three days. So next.

Because the movements of the demons were unpredictable, Theodore was forced to sacrifice his time to continue gathering information from each defense post and updating information every three days.

"Then ... About Adrian ... What will the Alliance say about that?" Alfonso spoke up, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"The problem is, he is the son of a state leader as big as Zirae-Levanto, more or less the same status as Prince Theodore. I don't know what President Duncan would do if he heard his son was killed on the battlefield." Marcus Said.

"I agree, Zirae-Levanto is a liberal state, they're not the type of state that thinks martyrdom is noble. Perhaps they could have demanded compensation or even cut ties with the Alliance, although the second option was a little impossible for now."

A Magical Department official also spoke up, he was the Prime Magister Leidengard, Rudolf Hetzer. He said as he glanced at an empty high-ranking chair, which was supposed to be the seat of the Prime Magister of Zirae-Levanto.

Marcus who was suddenly dizzy could only exhale heavily, he closed his eyes with a palm, a sign that he was thinking hard.

"So, you're going straight to Central Headquarters after this?" Alfonso asked Theodore, after a moment of silence.

"Yes, I have to report Adrian's death. But maybe I'll stay here for a while." His words while staring out the window of the Magic Department tower, outside in heavy rain, running at his speed when it was raining made Theodore feel like he was being stoned.

"Oh, and one more thing. I guess, witches are supposed to be parachuted in every post, there is no need to deploy the entire unit that the Magic Department has, quite a few in every post. I think it's more effective even if it's also risky." Theodore.

Of course the higher-ups had already thought about it, the witches in the western continent were not as much as the southern continent that had the largest magic unit compared to other continents.

The West had actually asked the south for help, but since it was not only the west that asked, so they had to wait for the decision made by the south.

Therefore they thought of another way to field witches only in times of need, and what lay in their minds was to send witches through express lines using the help of Adrian and Theodore. But now Adrian is gone, so they have to think of another way, one that doesn't seem to exist.

So perhaps the most reasonable option right now is to field a few witches in each post as a favor.

"After all, number three doesn't seem to have done his job yet." Theodore said as he glanced at Ferdinand standing behind Marcus' chair, he returned Theodore's glance with an annoyed smile.

Marcus acting as vice-chairman thought hard, fielding witches is probably the best option right now, though, considering the military has also been deployed in various places in case the demons appear from within the continent.

"Kurasa ... We're going to field some of our members, that's the most reasonable option right now." Marcus finally spoke up after thinking for a while.

His words were also approved by the Magic Department's top-tier council, Ferdinand who heard it instantly strained his neck veins, he looked at Theodore with a fierce gaze.

After the rain had subsided, Theodore returned to the Central Headquarters of the Alliance of the Western Continent to report on the news that shook the entire Alliance, especially the western continent, especially the Zirae-Levanto Kingdom again.

The news of the death of one of the "Lightest Lights" became a sad news that people continued to talk about for some time to come.
