Chapter 261 - The Fluffy Commander
[AN: Bonus Kana 1/7]
Creige frowned, hearing the old man. "My wife is not some little girl. And these girls can not even compare to my wife's beauty and personality."
Kiliffia, Tia, and Tilia all felt slightly bitter and depressed inside hearing Creige's blunt words. If they knew this was just how he normally treated women, they wouldn't feel so bad. The old man chuckled and walked over to Creige and patted shi shoulder. "So not a lolicon but a kept man. I really want to meet this wife of yours to see just who was able to work their way into your frozen heart."
Tilia wanted to say: 'She didn't have to work her way into anywhere. She just forced the marriage. And at that time, she was a little girl.' But kept her mouth shut when she saw Creige glare at her out of the corner of his eyes.'
"Get on topic old man. What do you think of the current situation?" Creige asked.
"Humph! You're no fun. Always business this business that." The old man snorted. "The council of elders has said they will all be coming here shortly. They have also sent a few people out to the other kingdoms to make sure they are not trying to ignore the situation. We will force every country to send their military no matter what race they are. It will be the first time in thousands of years some of these races will appear together. As for the commander of this force, we were thinking you would be perfect for the job."
Creige frowned. "I do not want to be some commander, but I do have someone who can act as one." Criege turned to Kiliffia and pointed to her. "This girl is one of my wife's good friends and is able to bring people together. With a few of you old fogies assisting her, she will be the perfect figurehead for the combined forces."
"Huh me!?" Kiliffia suddenly shouted out.
"Mmm… You are someone who strives to be strong and faces forward no matter where you go. You may be inexperienced and not actually fit to command, but your aura is something that is useful. You are like my wife, who has people drawn to her. Don't worry. I will be by your side as well. You just need to bring the forces together and leave the other things to the old fogies." Creige explained. It did not decide this on a whim. He decided on this because a young girl would garner more attention than some old man. With a bunch of old fogies who were all demi gods backing her up, their armies will not speak against her. And lastly, it was so he did not need to be in the limelight. This was the true reason for him picking her. He knew the old fogies selected him to lead because they did not want to, so anyone will do. So with the law of cuteness rules over all besides his wife, only Kiliffia fit the bill.
"Ahh… If I can help, then I will…" Kiliffia answered. She was not sure how well it would go, but if they were going to give such an important task to her, she would do her best. Plus, she did not want to die at the hands of some devils who are bent on taking over her homeland. She was also very worried about her father.
"Good." Creige nodded his head in approval before turning his attention back to the old man. "I already have someone notifying the realm of gods about what is going on. But I have a feeling this war will be very deadly."
"This I can agree on. I do not know which fool was willing to open the gate, but the power fluctuation I felt was so great that it made even my old hair stand on end. I think even my wrinkles had lifted up!" The old man said, shaking his body. "We can only leave those powerful ones to the people of the realm of gods."
"Have you been able to contact the dragons that are still in hiding?" Creige asked. If they had more dragons, then things would be easier for them.
"Humph! Those old bastards said that because their brethren were killed by the humans, they will no longer get involved in worldly things. If the world is to end, so be it. Take it as punishment for ignoring my kind when they were wiped out. But now that I think about it. I think the extermination of dragons back then was all part of that religious group. Dragons have a way of dealing with devils. If no dragons are around, then the devils can run rampant… This is theory only, of course." The old man's brain was turning as he began to think even deeper about this situation.
"If that is the case, then gathering enough death element and souls to open the gate to the devils realm would take at least a few thousand years. So we can not rule that out." Creige felt this theory the old man had just come up with might be right on point.
"Well, it is too late now to try to figure these things out. By the way, Creige, where is that wife of yours?" The old man asked.
"Another world, becoming more powerful. Luckily she is not on this world at this time." Creige knew that Kana might be the key they needed to win this battle after hearing everything she had told him about her journey so far after they had last talked. But he was not one hundred percent sure on this, and he also did not wish for his wife to be put in any danger.
"Maybe that is for the best. Such dangerous times it is best to be on another worl… what the hell do you mean she is on another world!?" The old man yelled out.
"She is undergoing the trial she had found in a magic realm. The trial transported her to another world, and right now, she is at the bottom of a dungeon training with dragons. She is slowly becoming stronger."
"Hmmm… Dungeons huh? That girl sure is lucky…"
