This afternoon, as Hallen Von Nachetanya said. All the Reigns from the ReVoid along with the Magic Knights gathered in an impromptu meeting.
Led by Hallen who had just arrived from the headquarters, he brought the latest news that the center had found.
"Vampires are after a wand that's a cursed artifact, Death Wand. We all know about that. And now Death Wand is in our hands. But, there was another reason why they came in great numbers and strength. Their goal other than to capture the Death Wand, is to lure the ReVoid to gather here and destroy us ...." Hallen.
Honestly, I guessed this. After all, ReVoid is a true enemy of vampires. Surely the vampires intend to annihilate the ReVoid who is their greatest enemy first before starting a massive invasion on this continent.
"And to destroy an organization, the quickest way is to kill its leader. This is the general rule of war. The death of the leader would be fatal to his subordinates. Therefore, it is likely that the vampires will focus a little on attacking the ReVoid leader, Mr. Vestine."
"Despite that, the Reigns who are Void holders will also be the main target of the vampires after the chief. As Void holders, the Reigns are the only weapons that can kill vampires. Therefore, they would also definitely try to annihilate the weapon by killing the holder."
In essence, the meeting this time discussed the change in the flow of vampire attacks. After Death Wand was taken, taking it back from us was a dangerous bet for vampires. Even for Rozalia. Therefore, they try to weaken and tear down the organization that holds Death Wand, ReVoid. And also because of their grudges, the ReVoid extermination plan was definitely going to be executed.
And this time, it looks like we also have to change the groove as well.
"Magic Knight will be in charge of escorting Vestine, which is a top priority" Ms Stephanie said.
Right one? We have to escort them? Isn't he much stronger than us considering his position as chairman?
"As vice-chairman, I will also be with Mr. Vestine" Hallen said.
"But wait, what about the assailant?" Ask interrupted. "The safety of Mr. Vestine is important here, but what about the war? Wouldn't it be better if we went ahead and fought together?"
"Zayn is right, after all, Mr. Vestine's ability cannot be underestimated. Even though he's a target, with Vestine's ability, the vampires can be beaten back." Like me, Marry said the same opinion.
"Leaders are not there to protect, but to protect. You can't force your opinion on Stephanie."
And it seems, Mr. Vestine did not accept this plan either. Feeling safe when his subordinates risk their lives, that's not funny at all. What kind of sane leader would do such a ridiculous thing?
"I will fight with you too. We will keep fighting them at full strength" Vestine said.
"But Vestine, isn't that too risky?" Ask Miss Stephanie.
"I know that, but I can't let it go. As a leader, it is my job to advance to the front lines. I'm sure Oliver will do the same if it's in my position" he replied.
"Despite that, at least 2 Magic Knights will accompany you. I don't want to hear any more complaints."
"If you get that way saying that, I can't refuse."
"Then, who is that guy?" Ask Gale.
"Of course I am the representative of the Magic Assosiation. And also Guts as our strongest shield" replied Miss Stephanie. "Vestine doesn't need any additional fighting skills, it's because he can cope on his own. However he was weak in defense, and also a little careless that left him often injured. It reminds me of when I was young. We travel a lot with Oliver and his ability to survive is very poor. So the right choice is with me and Guts."
"I appreciate your concern it's Stephanie, but can't you hold back a little when it comes to other people's past?"
"Ups, are you bothered by something like that?"
"Very."
For some reason, this meeting became memorable like a school reunion.
"What about the other vampires?" Ask Kayn.
"I hope you have a good plan to deal with them, the ReVoid fire witch," Chezie said.
"Of course, we will attack them with all the power we have" he replied. Yes, of course I was surprised to hear that. "We'll attack directly when they enter the city."
"Hey wait, what the hell is that crazy plan?!"
"As I said, the vampires will deploy all their forces to exterminate us. If we face it with half-measures, we will be slaughtered. Utilize useless territory, because vampires have terrible adaptability. Plus the time is night, the time the vampires rule."
"Despite that, are you sure about this?!" Ask me.
"I think this is the best way."
I'm mumbling. Hey hey, that's right! Does this woman only know how to attack? Fighting a Vampire without a regular plan is a bad idea. Shouldn't he know that?!
"What about defense?" Ask Elie. I didn't think he could follow this conversation.
"We will focus on attacking. For defense, we can take advantage of the empty city. It's not a problem as long as the enemy manages to defeat us."
Hey seriously?! How many vampires are coming?! There are over 300, with the remaining 17 noble vampires! Plus there's Rozalia in there! Did he really intend to attack without defending in this kind of condition?!
"Wait dul—
"Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen and ladies." A man's voice suddenly emerged from behind the tent. And a white-haired man came inside, approached Vestine and Hallen. All attention was on him.
"You!" Hallen intended to reprimand him, but the man quickly cut off Hallen's words.
"I heard what you were planning young lady.and honestly, it was a very, very bad plan for our situation this time ...."
"Before saying that, introduce yourself first" said Mr. Vestine.
"Ah, forgive my impoliteness. My name is Louise Lawrence, you can call me Osamu. I am a strategist, as well as a spy sent by the Magic Association to take care of this town."
"Long time I didn't see Louise. You're still as confident as ever, aren't you?" Reprove miss Stephanie.
"And you're still as gentle as ever Senie ..." replies Osamu. "in addition, can you call me Osamu? remember, Osamu."
"no, I'm used to Louise's name, just like you used to call me Senie."
"Where have you been all this time, Louise? Why don't you just show up now and not help Kayn and Zayn?" Ask Mr. Chezie.
"Ah, don't be cold so Chezie. I helped them. It's just, I'm a little busy with my work because that's why I don't have much time to spare."
"job? You mean as the principal?"
"No-no. All this time, I've been quietly observing and analyzing every move and plot of the vampire battle. That's my job as a spy anyway."
Mr. Vestine listened to their warm talk with astonished looks. It seems, he really doesn't know who Louise is. That's natural, even I, who was a member of the Magic Assosiation, recently knew him. Even Elie and Liana were shocked when they found out that their principal had been a Magic Assosiation spy all along.
"Stephanie, can you explain who he is?" Ask Mr. Vestine.
"As he said. He was the strategy designer of Magic Assosiation. Louise Lawrence's."
Strategy designer as well as spy, it was a position other than the Magic Knight in the Magic Association organization. Indeed at first glance outsiders will consider our organization to be a small group of dozens of people with great magic abilities. But actually our organization is even broader. As an organization that moves secretly and unknown to the public, we certainly need an intermediary that connects us with the community of a kingdom. It was the job of a Magic Assosiation spy. They are disguised as ordinary people, secretly gathering information, and accepting requests from clients concerned with the devil.
Even though they are part of us, not all Magic Knights know them. So far, I've only known one spy. And that I recently found out. Uncle Oliver said, there are about 10 more people who serve as spies, spread to the city in every kingdom. And that's it, Osamu or Louise is one of them.
"Louise Lawrence yes ... Lawrence's? It seems like the name is not foreign ...." Mumbled mr. Vestine.
"Hm? Wh why? Have we ever met before? I'm not sure if we've ever met, and my name is not a well-known market name either" Osamu said.
"Ah, right too. Your name is similar to our acquaintance. Theresa Lawrence," Kate said, as if she had just remembered something important.
"Ah, right Theresa. Your surnames are similar ...."
Osamu silently pecked. Looks like he knows the name of the guy called Theresa.
"Wait ... You guys said Theresa? Is she a 30-year-old woman with white hair? He was born in the Siberian kingdom, precisely in the city of Perth?!" Ask Osamu. As usual, he looks enthusiastic.
"You know it to such a detail yes ... Is he your relative?" Ask Mr. Vestine.
"He's my sister!!"
Everyone present was shocked, not because of the news about Osamu's sister. But because she suddenly shouted "she's my little sister!!" Like those. Why did he have to scream hysterically just because of the news.
"Well, I never knew you had a sister, Louise," said Stephanie.
"Well, that's because I never told her. Besides, I haven't seen him in a long time" Osamu replied. "The last time we met was about 15 years ago, when I left her at home. She was 10 years old and still very cute. I hope he doesn't change."
"Murphy?" Ask Kate. "I know he's a science enthusiast. I don't know which side she's cute."
"Eh, scientist?" Ask Osamu.
"Right now, he's working as the head of the ReVoid chemistry lab. It's about the 5th year he joined us. And the 2nd year since he served as chairman" Kallen explained. "As Kate said, he's a science enthusiast. It's just science, nothing else. Therefore, he almost never paid attention to appearance or social life. But well, his abilities regarding science are incredible."
"You could say he's the best scientist ReVoid has ever had" Vestine said.
Hearing all that, Osamu slightly smiled.
"Yes science ... I can't believe he really became such a great person. It seems that my efforts to teach him for 4 years were not in vain" he said.
"Teaching?"
"Well, all the knowledge he had came from me. He's been learning from me since he was 6. He was truly a genius from birth."
Just right?! You taught such knowledge to a six-year-old?!
"Well, this is good news for me. I'd love to see him again. I wonder if he still remembers me no yes ...." Osamu Mumbled. He broke his mind, and refocused. This is not a time for nostalgia. This is an important meeting that concerns our lives.
"Keep aside about that. So, how's next?"
"Ah, Mr. Vestine and Miss Hallen right?" Ask Osamu. "This time, let me as the strategy designer of the Magic Association express my opinion. For almost a month, I secretly observed the movements of the vampires, to the point that I understood the grooves they made. Frankly speaking, the defensively non-defensive plan Miss Hallen proposes will only make us follow their path."
"Then do you have a better plan than that?" Ask Hallen.
"Yes, with this plan, I'm sure we can escape the vampire grooves. We will fight with our own storylines, and slowly drag them into our traps. Destroy them slowly. It's a little risky, but the end result is much more satisfying."
"If you think like that, tell me what the plan is like."
"Yes, I do intend to say it ...."
And in the end, we agreed and moved based on the plan that Osamu was going to tell us.
