482 Meeting
Everyone nodded and Solomon seeing those gathered here could easily guess that Ian was finally going to officially allow them to participate in the war against the Titans.
Ian then started and he didn’t beat around the bush, preferring a direct approach: “As all the demons who have managed to activate their demonic aura wish to participate in the war that will decide of our future, Liam and I have decided to hold a special meeting as we have just received permission from the Warrior Spirits for you to accompany us.
However, there will be some obligations and they are non-negotiable.
Those of you who prefer not to participate in the war will not be considered as cowards, and nothing obligates you to participate.
You should know that over there, I, Liam, Kevin or Axel will not be able to ensure your safety, we will provide you with antidote against Hydra venom, and healing potions of legendary grade, but other than that you will have to rely only on yourself and your group to stay alive.”
When Liam saw the questioning on their faces he explained to them: “The Warrior Spirits have agreed to let you come and fight with us as long as you undergo the same training as we do.”
He then added: “Not tomorrow; because we will be hosting the Shapeshifters, but the day after, you will come and train with us in a gravity room in the morning and in the purple dungeons in the afternoon.”
Ian then said to them: “All those who wish to participate in the war, until further notice, will be relieved of their duties, from the day after tomorrow, you will have to concentrate solely on your training which will be provided by the Warrior Spirits themselves.
In the morning in the gravity room you will train to exceed your own limits, and in the afternoon, in the purple dungeons, you will always be with the same people.
Your group will be of 4 or 5 people maximum, and the main goal of this training is to learn to fight together, to know the strengths and weaknesses of your teammates and thanks to this to be able to put effective strategies in place.
You will always be accompanied by a Warrior Spirit who will guide you and give you advice and remember that each of these men have more fighting experience than all of us together so listen to their advice carefully and be respectful to them.”
They all nodded and Liam said: “Your group will have to be created by affinity, Solomon at the end of this meeting see with your men how you all want to be divided.
Phil and Blaise, both of you will stay with us, we will train together and we also need you for another mission.
When Elias anqd Miguel have time, we will go with them to the free world of the Drakonits to ask for their support in this war, Elias will also probably want to know more about Lilith’s army so be cooperative with the Warrior Spirits.
After the war is over, you will be able to choose to live wherever you want, you don’t have to stay here with us if our world doesn’t suit you, I’m sure the Drakonits will welcome you with open arms.”
Phil and Blaise were relieved by this decision and Blaise, who was the more experienced of the two then said to them: “It is an honor to fight alongside you, and we will cooperate with the Warrior Spirits, you have our word.”
Phil just bowed his head to show them that he too was happy with the decision.
Now that he had recognized Ian as his King, his only goal was to protect him and he was as relieved as Blaise about this outcome.
As for the world in which he would live later if he survived this war, as long as he was free to make his own choices, this world did not really matter to him.
Moreover, this world, which was rather small, was really very interesting, and if he stayed here, he would be able to continue to serve his King and he really thought that he could be happy here.
Several races were now living there in peace, and with what he had heard from the demons, this world was going to develop quickly and in perfect harmony.
And there were all these dungeons to loot… So he would never be bored here.
When Ian saw that everyone seemed satisfied with their decision he then said to them: “Kerry, Derek and Connor, I brought you here to give you the most important mission of all.”
When he saw that all three of them looked surprised he told them: “Derek, until the war is over, you will take command of the armies in place of Solomon.
When we have all gone to war, you will be the most powerful being in our world, so the defense of our world if we lose this war will be your responsibility… You understand the seriousness of the situation, right?”
Derek finally understood why their new King had asked them to come and he gave a military salute before telling him: “I accept this responsibility my King, I will organize the defense of our world and protect it to the death.”
Ian nodded, he didn’t doubt it for a second, he then continued: “Kerry, I know you would have preferred to come with us, and I’m sure you’re capable of learning to control your demonic aura in the time allotted, but you will be more useful here.
Dilan will be in charge of the humans and Derek will be in charge of the demons, and they will both need you if the worst happens.”
He then said to him because Kerry needed to hear it: “Kevin trusted you and he was right, thanks to you and your quick decision-making during the Battle of the Royal Palace, there were almost no casualties among demons and humans.
They will still need your strategic genius if we fail, you will be the one to guide them.”
