The king's voice was cold when he questioned the elder, but the elder didn't even flinch and still dutifully answered the king.
"Yes, your majesty. The two special elders are still with Joan and the cub. Should we call them over and let them stay here instead of staying outside of the soldiers' camp?"
The elder was actually confused about Joan's action of not entering the soldiers' camp and stayed outside instead.
He already got the news from the passing soldiers, but he was still worried about that group.
The elder was worried, but the king thought more than the elder and vaguely felt something wrong with Joan's action.
For him who had watched Joan grow up from the moment she was still a small toddler, Joan was already considered as his daughter.
The king knew Joan's character very well and since there were two important elders in Joan's group...
It was impossible for her to stay outside of the soldiers' camp if there wasn't anything strange happening there.
Then...it must be her grandson who was manipulated by the celestials that prevented her from entering the soldiers' camp, afraid of leaking any important information.
"Her grandson who is being manipulated by the celestials must be under control until now. She can't enter the soldiers' camp and choose to stay outside."
The king casually told the head elder but then, the head elder became even more anxious than the king himself.
"This won't do. Should we bring the two special elders and the cub to the camp? Just leave Joan and her grandson outside until they can get rid of the celestial's influence!"
Caroline and Lyod were the core of their blood clan's resurrection ability.
If the two people got into an accident, their whole race would perish with the two elders sooner or later.
The king also felt that he better separated Joan and her grandson from the rest of the group, but thinking that this would alarm the celestial behind the scene instead...
He held back his urge to save Joan and shook his head.
"Let them be. I believe that Joan and Wilhelm can handle whatever tricks the celestials are playing."
"But— Your majesty— "
"That's it. If you're worried, send two more elders to follow them in the dark and protect the two special elders plus the cub."
The king nodded at the head elder and resolutely turned around to enter his own tent.
To be honest, he actually wanted to snatch the cub and let her stay in the tent, but recalling the reports about this cub...
She is more courageous than other toddlers around her age and she will absolutely want to join the war instead of being protected.
Their blood clan truly cherished cubs to the point of being too extreme, but they would prevent the cubs from becoming stronger through various trials.
If not, he would have never allowed Wilhelm to summon his wings at such a young age.
The king had made his decision and the elders could only pick up two mid-level elders among their group to protect the two special elders.
Since the celestials weren't here in person and were only manipulating a human being, they shouldn't be too nervous for the two special elders.
If Caroline and Lyod couldn't even defeat a human being...they might as well stop being elders of their blood clan!
The elders dispersed and the soldiers started to gear up for the upcoming war.
The time is ticking and it was less than an hour before midnight struck.
At the same time, the celestials had been trying to find the location of the Blood Clan Kingdom through a space tracker ability user and finally got a clue.
However…they would have never thought that the clue directed them to the sea instead of vast plains far from the sea.
Because of this, the queen had to cancel the plan to attack the Blood Clan's Kingdom due to their insufficient technology to enter the deep sea without using Teleportal.
Thus, the queen finally focused on the island covered with a crimson barrier instead.
"We can attack whoever stays on that island, force them to open the Teleportal and enter their kingdom through the Teleportal."
The queen was suddenly regretful that she didn't do this in the first place instead of trying to find the Blood Clan Kingdom's location.
If they could occupy the transition island, wouldn't it be better?
They could enter the hidden kingdom by forcing the defeated blood clan to use their blood to open the portal to their kingdom.
"Prepare for the war!"
The queen's troops were just about to arrange the first wave of attack, but the blood clan was already about to start the attack.
Time was ticking, and in no time, it was already midnight.
The moon was bright tonight, and there were rarely any clouds covering the entire sky.
The celestials used the clouds to hide, but with too few clouds around the transition island, they had no cover anymore and could only show themselves.
Most celestials wore white-gold clothes with typical blonde hair and blue eyes.
Their wings were extremely pure white, and in such a dark night, they were visible to the naked eye.
The moon was even helping them to shine on this stage, just like an easy-moving target for the enemies.
The queen didn't want to start the war when it was still nighttime, so the troops only guarded themselves and the important people among them.
They were waiting for the sun to rise so that they could take advantage of the power of the sun to strengthen their ability.
Unfortunately, Atherton didn't want to give this chance to the celestials.
