Chapter 90 Lyra's Plan
I left the room closing the door after looking at the two beautiful girls inside it, Elda was becoming more and more attractive because of her behaviour as well as her looks. The depressing nature, she had in her behaviour is fading away little by little because of the current situation.
It made me happy to see a girl like her enjoying her life instead of being a caged bird like before.
The people in the town were pretty anxious about the war at first, but thanks to Naomi and Sariya, we were able to control a lot of them without any violence.
I wanted to discuss our future steps and how to deal with the retreating army so I asked her to call every important figure just in case,
I looked at the huge door of the meeting room before pushing it making a loud noise.
There were a lot of people in the room and all of their attention focused on me because of the huge sound.
I walked looking ahead at the huge table, honestly, it would have been a nerve-wracking experience if I didn't know these people before.
Right after, I sat on the chair everyone quickly looked at Sariya,
"Master Velian, I heard Delviny got injured, is she okay?" She asked looking at me. Sariya usually won't call me master but in front of everyone, she had to show that I was her superior.
"Yeah, she is, it's just a small injury, don't worry about it, just start the report, how's the situation," I didn't want them to know about the truth so, I just ignored her question.
"Yes, master, We have successfully repelled the kingdom army but, there's a problem, they may return with reinforcements,"
"Our soldiers are great and powerful, but we can't face such a huge army, so I want to ask what to do from you," Sariya honestly had no idea how to deal with this problem.
I thought for a minute before answering her, I wanted to finish this as soon as possible but, had many problems to think about,
"If we destroy the Rapidclaw kingdom, other kingdoms will stand against us because our threat is great, but if I didn't go to war with them, they might attack me with a bigger army, it's true they are in the war with empire right now, but if I kill such a huge army, they will definitely send a big army to attack us," I was thinking about the steps, I can take step by step.
"I can just wipe out the kingdom but, I don't want to be called out a monster if I do that, I honestly don't care even if they call me that, but, I know for sure mother and sister will be disappointed in me if I did such a thing," I thought looking at the empty air.
Sariya, Lyra, Remi and a few others were present at this meeting, they were all looking at me with interest.
"Brother, may I talk for a minute?" Lyra saw that I was in a deadlock so, she wanted to help me even a little bit.
She didn't expect that training demon Delvi to collapse on the battlefield. Lyra was the one who planned the attack so, she had full trust in Delvi's strength.
If Delvi didn't collapse battle would have been to their advantage since It was her responsibility to keep their leader in charge.
Mason didn't know he avoided a great catastrophe by retreating back instead of continuing the attack.
Because of Lyra's unique skill, she had a great advantage against enemies when planning something but, it's not impossible for something to go wrong in her plans. Therefore I helped her in many ways but, none of them expected Delvi to collapse.
"Brother, what if we attack their camp now? Their army is greatly weakened and their commander also got a little injured by Delvi's attack, according to Remi. If we attack and capture their commander I'm sure we can negotiate with the kingdom at least for a little time until we build our strength again," Lyra said gaining the attention of everyone.
"It's a good idea but, Will the kingdom really listen to us even if capture some commander?" One of the attendees questioned her.
"Well if it's a normal commander they won't, but the one who led this battle was a Duke, I've seen him several times in the royal capital in the past.
"Oh~" Everyone present in the room made surprised sounds.
"That's good, We will attack their camp tonight and capture him, Lyra, thank you for the idea," I thanked her before asking Remi and Naomi to arrange some good warriors.
"We are not going for a flashy attack, it will be a sneak attack so ask them to be ready with proper equipment, and Remi go and get some healing," I saw her hand had some blade marks, She looked ashamed when I pointed it out.
"You did a great job holding that one, he was a former guild master, don't think too much about it Remi," I didn't want her to be depressed because it would affect our mission.
"Yes, master," She looked at me while nodding her head up and down.
"Naomi, take care of her, looks like she's somewhat down because of that last battle of her," I whispered to Naomi getting up from my seat before they left the room.
I got ready to leave but I saw Samara still sitting on her chair like she had something to tell,
"Samara, did something happen?" I asked her looking at her.
All the others had left the room and only Samara and I were in the room.
"Boy, did you meet Ivan? What did he say?" She looked a little anxious because she knew the power of the guild.
She thought the guild will act against Velian if he did something wrong. In her mind guild was more powerful than anyone in the kingdom. They didn't have power in controlling countries but still, they were parties to be careful of.
"Ivan, Oh~ that old man, don't worry about them, they promised to not interfere with us but if they do, I will not show mercy to them," I was confident in myself that I could beat them after seeing their real status.
If they gang up on me in a huge amount, it would be a little difficult but, individually they were not a match for him.
"You met him? Did you two fight?" Samara didn't hate Ivan but, she knew how powerful he was. Samara had seen Velian's power but, in her mind, she was greatly underestimating Velian because of his age.
"Yeah, He agreed not to interfere so don't worry, Adventures and guild won't attack us,"
Samara felt relieved after hearing his words.
"After this war is over, I will give you some projects, I have in my mind, we can increase the quality of living here so that even adventures will leave their birthplace to come here," Velian said with a thumb to which Samara gave a smile.
Just like that the meeting before the attack ended peacefully with Samara leaving the room with a huge smile feeling relieved.
