As night fell, our group headed home. Spike disappeared into the night after making sure we arrived. Since Sakuya's shoulder was still aching, I called my maid, Reiwen, to treat him. Reven possesses the "Active Wood Attribute" of magic, and is the only one of us who has healing spells. She was the last mage to participate in World War III, and she happened to be placed under my banner again. Even though her family is still alive, she is willing to come to my place to help me, and I am very grateful to her. After the treatment, Sakiyu seemed to be much calmer, not as lively as before.

"Kid, what else happened in the forest before?"

"Nothing, nothing big"

Maybe it's because it's the first time to start, and I'm still haunted in my heart. But seeing him say so casually, I can only believe that he can adjust it himself. After such a day, we are indeed a little tired. After tidying up, we went to rest early.

Early the next morning, I got up as usual to settle government affairs. Sakiyu slept very heavily today, and I didn't wake him up at all, maybe he was too tired. I put on my casual clothes and went to the study to settle today's paperwork arrangements.

"Taxes...... Expansion arrangement...... Economic ......"

In just a few dozen minutes, there were very few of these things left. While the guard was arranged, Ston walked in and said someone had come to see me. There weren't many little things left, and it wasn't too late to see the seer and do it, so I walked out at once. When I came to the front yard, I saw two people standing there on horseback.

"Yo, it's the Crowe sisters and brothers, what's going on with the two of you coming to me?"

Crotin and Claude, the two are sisters and brothers and are both generals of the Apocalypse, at that time, because their armies cooperated to successfully capture the stronghold of the Fallen Demon Mountain, which directly affected the victory of the later war, the two of them were also strong together. Sister Crotin is a double cultivator, but it is mainly a physical attack. Spear mastery, with the magic of "condensation and water attribute", but mainly uses ice to create spears to throw attacks, and its troops include long paradox soldiers and a small team of spell troops for control. The younger brother Claude is a rare anomaly in the world, and his ability is to be able to learn and master a variety of magical attributes. However, since each attribute requires a lot of effort to master, it is not possible to fully master all attributes. At that time, the battle of Fallen Demon Mountain was the younger brother's use of the magic of "water, fire, and dissolution attributes", and his sister's ice spear rain directly defeated his defense, winning the battle in one fell swoop. The younger brother's troops consisted mainly of archers and healing mages. When the territory was allocated, the two of them insisted on being together, so they were in charge of the largest area of our Apocalypse, which was exactly easternmost and adjacent to my south.

"Do you remember the Dermory massacre before?"

"You know, we went to the scene immediately, although there was only one survivor in the end"

"More than half a year has passed, and recently there has been an increase in garrison. But Arno didn't attack again, you know."

"Well, I'm dealing with this just now, and I'm going to relax a little."

"It's hard for me to make a decision, but according to the news from the country of Winter in the north, Arno has been attacking them recently."

"North? Is Arno starting an all-out invasion?"

"Don't worry about Winter for the time being, after all, the Holy Land of Magic. But the east side doesn't know, Arno should have been busy dealing with other places lately and not having the time to deal with us."

It was surprising to hear that Arno had started a full-scale war, and I thought it was just a unilateral breach of the peace treaty. As for Winter, to the north of our Hasen, it is a country where most of the land is in cold zones all year round. However, there are many magical buildings left over from ancient times, and they have developed them, making it the most advanced place in magic on the entire continent. Although Arnold's magic is not weak, he naturally can't enter such a terrifying source of magic. The countries to the east are too far away to get any news.

"My brother and I tried to attack Arno from Demorina some time ago, you should know"

"Yes, your herald came to report it."

"But when we first arrived, Arno began to receive reinforcements, which is really evil."

"Sudden reinforcements? Did they call?"

"No, of course you can't fight when you see this situation. But after we retreated, their reinforcements seemed to have retreated very quickly, as if they knew the situation in advance."

"If that's the case, I'd better not let my guard down there, I'm afraid they'll attack as soon as I let my guard down."

"Anyway, that's it, everything is still uncertain on Arno's side, you have to be careful"

Crotin warned me about it, and it was really nerve-wracking. In the face of an extremely uncertain group of enemies, it is completely impossible to ignore it.

"Then we should go, and by the way, I will go to the royal capital and ask the king for a full-scale attack on Arno. If Arno is starting an all-out war, then we should stop it."

After telling me these things, the Crowe sisters and brothers went to the royal capital, and I turned around to continue to settle the rest of the business. When the offensive is approved, it will be the Fourth World War, or it will start a long time ago, but we are only ready to counterattack. When I turned around, I saw Saki Yu lying behind the door, looking at me quietly.

"Hehe, I have to send you to the magic academy before that."
