Novel Full Chapter 1310 A Talk With Lady Verdant
—–
“He’s going to definitely summon demonic monsters or something similar once we begin attacking the Magician Tower,” said Tomas. “And he’ll summon the magicians that serve him as well… I-I don’t know how I feel about fighting them all, some of them are like me, innocent people that were forcefully turned into demonic humans once they convinced us to join the guild. Is it really okay to slay them?”
“In the heat of the battle there will be little time to make smaller judgements like that,” the King said with a ruthless tone of voice. “I am sorry Tomas, but unless they yield themselves I won’t make my army delay their attack or go easy on our enemies just because of the chance some of them might be forced to fight… this is a thing of life and death. If we lose, my entire Kingdom will fall.”
“I-I understand…” Tomas sighed. “I know, I apologize, your majesty… I’ll also fight. If possible, I’ll search for these people myself. Is that okay with you?”
“Hmm… as long as you don’t delay or stop our army,” said the Queen. “And with the vigilance of my soldiers and Planta, sure.”
“Thanks…” Tomas nodded.
I looked at Tomas, pitying him a bit. Maybe he had friends he didn’t want to die? But in this situation, it’ll be hard to convince them not to fight, especially because their demonic powers can be forcefully activated, and they can be controlled by another demonic magician of a higher authority.
“I’ll try to help you too, but no promises,” I said. “Alright?”
“Thank you…” Tomas said. “Thanks a lot…”
The King and the Queen nodded.
“Very well, I’ll bring some of my trusted government members. The war strategist, a general, the chancellor and perhaps a few others,” the King said. “David, make it swift.”
“Yes your majesty,” David nodded.
Like that, our long strategy and planning session continued for several hours in a row. We took breaks logging out to eat, go to the bathroom, and so on before coming back again.
Eventually, I also discussed the inclusion of the Druids, whom I went to visit in between everything with an Avatar, I managed to talk with Austucia and Johanna, and then the rest of the druids within the Verdant Green Realm, and we confirmed their support and even the support of the new Goddess, Lady Verdant herself.
The King and the Queen were ultimately invited by the Druids to go visit her themselves so they could gain her trust, it was something insane that every soldier and member of the government opposed, but the two agreed.
So, we finished the day by having tea with Lady Verdant, the Great Spirit of Harvest, and many other druids in a big table inside of the Great Verdant Tree within her Realm.
“I see, so the day is finally upon us…” the Goddess said, with her eyes shining brightly.
The two rulers and David, who came along to protect them, were utterly dazzled and shocked by the presence of a true Goddess.
She might be young compared to the rest, as she had divinely manifested only in the last hundreds or so years, but she was without a doubt a God right now.
So, her presence alone made them feel a bit paralyzed…
Nonetheless, they still were able to explain things to her, although they were always looking a bit scared… and amazed.
“Merlinus is an evil being, a darkness that had only continued to spread for many years,” she said. “It has been many years since he left behind his humanity, betraying himself and his own past to become a true monster. Because of him, the Demonic Domain and the Death Domain’s expansion growth increased a lot. And the presence of the Demon Kings is ever so strong… I already had said I would help; it was a promise. Planta here also became a part of this Realm, she has become the anchor of the Fey Wilds to the Material World, rekindling Yggdrasil’s connection. Thanks to her, we’ve managed to release my Domain into the world, and it is actively fighting against the other two Domains, expanding greenery and spiritual energy as much as I can.”
“I see… so that’s what you’ve been doing, Goddess Verdant…” muttered the King. “I am truly grateful for all your help… We are honored to even see your presence.”
“We apologize for ever doubting your existence or your cooperation, we were truly foolish and ignorant…” the Queen said as well, she was so serious.
“Fufu, there’s nothing to apologize for, it’s alright, I would have reacted the same way in your shoes, so I can understand you,” Lady Verdant nodded. “Planta has the right to also talk on my behalf, as she’s the Second Ruler of the Fey Wilds. The evolution of the Forest of Beginnings into the Primordial Garden of Life has also strengthened the Fey Wilds a lot, and our connection has grown even more, expanding richly across the continent. To not help you all to defeat this great evil would be nothing short of a mistake. I must help no matter what. My Druids are here, they shall serve you with their lives and souls.”
The Druids nodded, none of them even dared to object her words.
“We shall help the Luminous Kingdom defeat the great evil wizard,” nodded Austucia. “Preparations had already begun quite a long ago though! We shall combine our own Expanded Domain with Planta’s to strengthen it. We’ll also set up a special Divine Invocation formation.”
“D-Divine Invocation Formation?” wondered the King. “You mean…?!”
“Although I can only do this temporarily for… at most, thirty minutes, I shall also participate in the battle,” said Lady Verdant. “With the unified Nature Souls of my Druids, it should be possible for me to manifest myself and help you battle Merlinus, or deal with even greater threats. Planta will have the power to call me, so I’ll leave it to her judgement when to summon me.”
“I see… thank you, Verdant,” I said. “I really appreciate it. We’ll do our best to win.”
