Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 852 Formation of the Coalition

After Victoria’s arrival at the continental experts’ meeting place, a whole day passed, and everyone who was expected at the meeting arrived.

Annaliese, Rebecca, and Elke returned from their positions with their respective groups. At the same time, members of the continent’s most powerful forces arrived with at least 2 representatives each.

As a result, more than half of the continent’s states were represented at it, including representatives from the most important sects and organizations, such as the Cultivation House, a force that rarely took action.

But amid the current danger that the continent might be in, even representatives of this continental organization appeared in that camp.

With all of them together, about 50 Sages spent an entire day talking, sometimes all together, sometimes in smaller groups, deciding what would happen in the near future.

With the hybrid’s death confirmed, they could now turn their attention to the demons, and even if the Demon Emperor had not returned to life, it might still be interesting for them to act against such creatures.

Even without concrete proof of his return, the group would be able to make important partnerships and form a coalition against the demons after only a few hours of discussion.

Many of the high elders felt they had to fight this creature again, but others simply wanted to use the opportunity of everyone being together again to deal a serious blow to the demons’ plans.

It was time for a war of proportions rarely seen in Concordia to begin!

…

After a day of important talks for the continent’s future in that camp in Rablus, Viktoria, Elke, and Rebecca discovered what Annaliese had heard in Leopoldine.

Until now, they had been in the dark about the possibility that Lothur was still alive due to the problems that had taken up all of their time over the past few days. But now that they had finally succeeded in turning the continental leaders against the demons, they had had time to talk about him in peace.

When they discovered that Lothur’s slaves were still serving him and didn’t believe he was dead, the three were naturally astonished, realizing that there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

However, not even Blood and Smoke could sense the position of Lothur’s body. They had no idea where to look for him!

Maybe he needed their help, maybe his condition wasn’t good, and he could get worse at any moment. They didn’t know, and, of course, they became nervous after losing some of their depressed looks.

As positive as Annaliese’s news was, it would only make the women more worried!

At that moment, Viktoria was alone with her three harem sisters in a tent in the camp while Blood and Smoke guarded the entrance to the tent.

“We should consider that Lothur is currently untraceable and probably safe,” Viktoria said after a long thought.

“But what if he isn’t?” Elke asked. “What if the demons are looking for him?”

“Let’s go after him. We need to find him before the demons do.” Rebecca said.

“No.” Viktoria disagreed with this approach. “What guarantees you that the demons aren’t watching us to find Lothur? Considering his abilities, he has the greatest potential to defeat the Demon Emperor. He would be the demons’ top priority for elimination if they realized he was alive.”

“So what do we do?” Annaliese asked worriedly.

“We do what we planned before. Fight the demons, fight the Demon Emperor’s plans.” She said firmly, confident that if the demons were looking for her husband or knew he was alive, they would eventually lead them to him.

But if the demons didn’t know that and ignored Lothur, it would be better if they didn’t look for him. That way, they could leave him alone to do what he needed to do without the risk of drawing the demons’ attention to him when he needed peace the most.

Regardless of the situation, continuing their current plans seemed the best thing for them!

She said. “Let’s give Lothur some time. If he is alive, not finding him might be the best thing for him. If nothing gets in his way in the short term, we’ll see him again sooner or later. So, let’s continue with our plans.”

The three women heard it and remained silent for a moment, pondering the matter.

But every time they thought about what might happen if they went to Lothur, they came to some dangerous conclusion, especially for him. So, after a minute of silence, they all agreed to let the young Ritter approach them on his own.

“So what do we do now? The coalition members seem to want to leave us aside because of our situation.” Elke commented.

Knowing that these four had 3 to 2 empty places in their Spirit Bodies for new Soul Bones, the Sages of the newly formed coalition wanted to preserve them.

They didn’t want to give up the strength of these women completely, as they would be needed in future battles. But they didn’t want to put them in extreme danger, such as facing the Demon Emperor or his strongest generals.

They didn’t want them to be part of the main force responding to the demon threat. Their purpose should be to protect human lands and important cities and fight demons up to level 23.

If things got complicated, the coalition would find a way to give them the Soul Bones that were missing so they could build up their strength. Only then should they join the war front and fight directly against the most powerful demons.

“Let’s follow the coalition’s plans.” Victoria said. “I know you all want to fight the demons, but what we really want is to destroy them. Our chances of achieving the extermination of the demons will be greater if we follow this coalition plan.”

They all accepted this easily, agreeing with Victoria’s logical thinking.

She looked towards the tent’s exit, where the two level 23 cats were standing.

“Blood and Smoke, come here.” She called, drawing the attention of her harem sisters to the two.

“Huh?” Smoke looked at his breeder with curiosity in his big eyes.

“You need to get stronger. You have no reason to stay at our side in this early stage of the coalition’s formation. So I want you two to go in search of spectres. Devour all the spectral creatures you meet along the way and strengthen yourselves. We will need your strength in the future.” She got right to the point, knowing these two could grow quickly if they were free to hunt.

The Castle of Shadows had fallen, but countless spectres below level 23 were around Concordia!

Since it would take some time for the news of the Castle of Shadow’s demise to reach all the spectres, Blood and Smoke had a good opportunity ahead of them.

“Okay.” The two accepted Viktoria’s suggestion and soon set off on their new mission.
