Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 37: Destroyed

"The Department of Magic has finally agreed to send its members as aid in the defense outposts, to the southeast, they will send two of its members here." Theodore said, Ferguson seemed to smile with relief, as well as Alex and his friends.

A soldier walked into the office with a cup of tea for Theodore, whether Ferguson had told him to, or perhaps this was on his own initiative?

"It looks like you managed to convey my request to the Magic Department Council, Your Majesty. I don't know how I should show my gratitude." Ferguson bowed respectfully, followed by Alex and the others.

Theodore smiled slightly after taking a sip of his tea, "Well, it's because not only the southeast are asking for the witch's help, many voices are gathered, they have no other choice. But to be honest, the witch's help in the southeast was the least of any other defensive outposts" explained Theodore, "The existence of Collin and Brigantine's daughter was the reason behind the decision."

Ferguson chuckled, "Of course, they both made surviving the demon attack feel easy at the moment."

Theodore's expression changed after Ferguson said that. "Or maybe not" he said briefly.

"Then for the bad news." Theodore continued after sipping his tea once more, "The demons are not just one kind, perhaps Collin and his colleagues should have realized that." Theodore refers to the incident in the train car that killed Brian.

Alex and the other two nodded, where perhaps they had forgotten about it, it was the first moment for them to come face to face with the devil.

"The southern region is attacked by demons that have similar characteristics to the demons that attack you on your way." Theodore continued.

"The body was silver-colored which was as hard as iron, green eyes lit up. It's just that the one attacking the south has a human form, similar in form to the model usually installed in boutiques if I may say the parable."

Everyone in the room held their breath, but then Alex remembered, weren't there Adrian and Alvaro in the south? It should have been easy for them to destroy the hard bodies of those demons, especially if according to the description given by Theodore earlier, they were smaller in size.

Anford who stood next to Alex also had the same thought, he and Alex both believed in the ability of their two southern roommates.

While Desmond, needless to say, he is the one who has the desire to surpass Adrian one day, which is why he continues to strive to explore his potential every day.

"That's what I want to tell you as bad news."

Theodore's words left everyone in the room stunned. With Adrian and Alvaro, plus Raymond, what's so bad about them?

Alex tried to calm himself, it could be that Theodore's words were not as he thought, he was trying to brush off all the bad thoughts that ran through his mind.

Even if something bad happened, there was no way it was worse than the demons who managed to penetrate the city and cause many casualties, surely they also managed to repel the herd of demons in the end.

"Sananta, the city that became the southern outpost was successfully penetrated by the demons," said Theodore, "A lot of casualties, including the southern officer himself."

Ferguson bowed to the news, "Mitchell Oswald. He's a dedicated soldier ...." Ferguson seems to recognize the man assigned to be a southern defense post officer.

Theodore nodded, "He fell with honor, he maintained the defensive line until his last breath."

The room was silent for a while, but there was actually one question that stuck in Alex's head, but he did not dare to interrupt the silence until Theodore resumed his words.

"Some great warriors were also killed there," Theodore mentioned the names of the Bronze Class and Silver Class disciples killed in the battle one by one. They are people who are also known by Alex and two colleagues, of course it makes them grieve.

"Then ...." Theodore's throat choked as he looked about to say something important. After a moment of silence, he continued his words.

Alex's eyes widened upon hearing the name called, his head instantly felt empty, he slowly turned his head to look at Theodore's face, the depressed expression on Theodore's face was so clear.

"You're lying, right?" Desmond's voice rang out, he approached Theodore and knelt before him.

"Crown Prince ... All you said was a joke, right?" Desmond asked Theodore, but his intonation sounded like he was begging, begging him to say that his words were just a joke.

Theodore just silently looked into Desmond's eyes sharply, "Donovan ... I did ask you to be normal, but I won't forgive any form of sassiness even in this kind of situation."

Desmond pias' face, he was immediately bowed to the floor.

"What ... What did Alvaro do?"

Anford tried to hold back his emotions, a sudden heat filled the room.

"He and Brigantine's son were also near death, Adrian Cornivus Duterte sacrificed himself so they could escape."

Anford still looks unacceptable, "Is William not in that place? Didn't anyone help Adrian?" His voice was heavy, as if there was a southerner in this place, he would instantly beat him up.

"Foster has also reached the limit of his ability, he has used a lot of his strength to support air strikes. The most rational decision was to let Cornivus go, if only they had stayed with him, we might have lost all the light-power-building in the south."

Anford was about to say something again, but Alex grabbed him by the shoulder, "For now ... We'll receive the news ...."

The hot air in the room gradually disappeared, Ferguson again deactivated the aura that protected him from the heat and breathed a sigh of relief.

He understood very well the feelings of these young men, as he had experienced many times the same thing in the past and had just experienced it.

Loss is part of war, anyone who enters the pit of war can only accept it with resignation. They would get used to it after losing some comrades.

"I think I've had enough here," Theodore finished the rest of his tea and stood up from the sofa, he approached Ferguson and shook his hand. "One more thing, the Alliance decided to transfer a single man wandering the power of light from the southeast to replace Adrian Cornivus, I advise Brenda Derrantes."

Ferguson nodded, "I understand."

Theodore gave a small smile, "Then, I'll continue on duty. Officer Ferguson." Theodore saluted the military.

"Communicator Theodore." Ferguson paid that respect.

Theodore left Ferguson's study, leaving Ferguson and the three young soldiers silent on the spot without saying anything.

"Once again I say. Welcome to the battlefield."

Ferguson said it with a voice that only he could hear.
