Chapter 798: Reinforcements
Bardi wasn't the only place in the world at war. Although people were astonished at the news that several Main Gods had perished simultaneously, new information also arrived from other battlefields.
Of all the new information, the most attention-grabbing piece of news was the headline "In the battle of Sidi, an undead army from another dimension suddenly ambushed the ogres and helped San Antonio's human army obtain a major victory."
The news report also said that "These undead say that they are the remnants of an ancient human empire who are now returning to the mortal plane. They will be establishing their home in the extreme northern ice islands, and have already established a formal diplomatic alliance with the Northlands Mist Alliance."
Undead Emperor Sandro and Undead Emperor Undead General had finally made their decision and clearly expressed what side they were on.
The extreme northern ice islands referred to in the report didn't even have an actual name on the maps. They were located even farther north than the Northlands were. There actually was another continent across from the icy sea there, but due to the extremely low temperatures, only polar bears and ice elemental creatures could survive there… and now the undead would be establishing their country there.
"Adam can probably also live there. He's basically family with the native snow ogres there."
Margaret adjusted her eyeglasses as she spoke. Although her tone sounded calm, I could tell that she had a grudge against Adam. It seemed that her previous trip to the far north with him hadn't given her a good impression.
Still, it seemed more like a curse than having no sense of direction to be able to get lost to such an extent to go all the way to the ice islands in the far north.
I heaved a sigh of relief at Margaret and Adam's return. It was always good to have trustworthy allies by my side. I also received support from the Mist Alliance together with their return.
Margaret became busy with all the rescue work regarding the battle's survivors right after she arrived. However, Adam acted the same as always. He had too much free time on his hands, and caused trouble everywhere. Currently, he had his head lowered as he weaved what appeared to be an extravagant feathered broom.
However, we all knew that this was nothing more than a mistaken impression.
"…Um, Adam, could you please stop causing trouble? God Envoy Arthur has already complained to me about you. Even if a Seraphim has lots of feathers, they'll still go bald if you keep pulling out all the feathers.
"It's just a little warmup. I can barely take it when I think about the upcoming major battle! It's rare to meet such a powerful opponent. I don't even need to worry about accidentally killing them… Yep, I really should go warm up with the Seraphims! I'm leaving now, and I won't be back for lunch."
Adam kept getting more excited, to the point where even flames began to rise from his hair. It seemed that he wanted to have a major fight against the angels as he hurriedly left.
If it wasn't for the fact that I received a report regarding how "Seraphim feather fans," "Seraphim tears", and other such rare items were suddenly circulating around the Cloud Tower's black market, I might even have believed him.
As for the information that a certain really poor individual suddenly had money now, and purchased all the porn books in the bookstores, I would never deal with such a boring matter myself. I simply gave such information to Margaret for her to deal with… On that night, the books burned away in such a bright fire as a certain person howled in agony about "his prized collection". This was rather quite sympathetic as I'm sure many married men would shed tears of sympathy.
Even more pitiful was how Adam felt that it was only an accident that Margaret had discovered his new collection. He actually intended on selling off even more Seraphim feathers and other such rare items at a high price in order to reestablish his collection. He wasn't going to come back for lunch? He was probably in a rush to buy more porn books during lunchtime.
I was even beginning to consider whether or not I should act on my responsibility as a Truth Symposium member to crack down on all these ridiculous merchants. However, I could see out of the corner of my eye that Margaret's mouth was twitching. She was even smiling in such delight? Fine then, she had seen through everything already. Please take good care of yourself, Adam!
Forget it, there was no need to remind him. It would always be fun to laugh at another's expense when I was feeling down.
Angels? Yeah, the Cloud Tower now had two entire squadrons of high-level angels. Although they were really annoying in a way, it was also reassuring to have them as temporary allies.
As the battlefield before us hadn't calmed down, we aggressively made our combat preparations. By now, Karwenz had basically declared war on the entire world as his plan to destroy the world was now known to everyone.
We didn't even have the time to say anything when the God of Holy Light, who was the "ruler of the world", could no longer tolerate it. Having his incarnation exploded was already a severe challenge. Opening the door to the dimensional barrier would threaten the order of the entire world. His mechanical logic would treat this as the highest-level threat of all.
The God of Holy Light wouldn't care about things such as pride, as he was a God with no self-will. He unhesitatingly sent countless Holy Light Faction Gods and angel squadrons to this battlefield, an army with more than a thousand years of accumulation.
