Trash of the Count's Family

Cale turned back toward Alberu.

‘I don’t know whether the information underneath the boulder is related to the sealed god, but-’

He had a feeling that it would definitely be helpful.

Cale had currently walked out of the central shelter to talk with Alberu and Choi Han in a nearby area.

“That is why…”

Alberu was silent for a moment before he continued to speak.

‘I must explain to you what is going on right now.”

“I see. Please go ahead.”

Alberu opened and closed his mouth a few times before starting to speak, almost as if he was sighing.

"All other kingdoms on the Eastern continent except the Molden Kingdom have allied themselves with the White Star.”

Cale started to frown.

“That is why it is likely that I will need to remove the troops that I have stationed by the Gate to the Demon World if I leave the Eastern continent.”

The reason they were able to stay there despite the pressure from the Eastern continent was because Alberu had personally been there.

The Eastern continent did not want to attack the future king of a strong kingdom on the Western continent.

They didn't want their actions to start a war between the continents.

“And it might be difficult to set up camp by the Endable Kingdom again if we withdraw now.”

Choi Han, who had been listening, started to speak.

“Your highness, what will happen to our allies who are currently stuck inside the Endable Kingdom?”

“Eruhaben-nim said that they should be able to last for a few weeks because they are with the priestess of the God of War.”

He looked toward Cale and added on.

“The Molan Household, Mercenaries Guild, and Duke Fredo have said that they will stay in the Eastern continent to help them as well. The Elves and Dark Elves will keep both sides informed.”

Cale started to speak.

“It looks like you’ve already planned to return to the Western continent, your highness.”

Cale and Alberu made eye contact.

“Yes. What we are doing right now is inefficient.”

Both of their eyes were calm.

"We must rescue you and our other allies who are currently stuck inside the Endable Kingdom. That fact has not changed.”

Alberu continued to speak.

“However, it is inefficient for us to just be gathered around the Endable Kingdom without a plan. We can’t even teleport into the Endable Kingdom because of the black barrier covering the sinkhole. It’s the same situation for the people inside.”

Of course, the White Star’s side might have a way to get out as they were able to negotiate with the other kingdoms on the Eastern continent.

Either way, all Alberu had been doing was watching the black barrier.

“In that case, we might as well research a different method and get things prepared for the right time.”

The moment Alberu was waiting for…

“The moment when you finish your test.”

That moment would be when Cale returns from this test.

“I can tell when that would be.”

Alberu would plan accordingly as he was able to chat with Cale and knew when that would happen.

Cale quietly observed Alberu before starting to speak.

“You should be able to proceed with that plan as long as Eruhaben-nim and the others are safe.”

“Yes.”

Alberu smiled before adding on.

“I plan on just charging forward if our allies within the Endable Kingdom are in danger.”

He was smiling, but Cale and Choi Han could tell that Alberu was being serious.

Choi Han started to speak.

“…I should be there to help you as well.”

Choi Han felt sorry for the others who were struggling while moving back and forth between the Eastern and Western continents.

Alberu awkwardly smiled as Cale started to speak.

“Why is the Eastern continent siding with the White Star?”

“…I don’t know.”

“The Molan household and the Mercenaries Guild must be looking into it.”

Alberu nodded his head instead of responding to Cale who seemed to understand the flow of things without needing him to explain.

“Then what is the situation on the Western continent like right now?”

Choi Han’s ears perked up as well as Cale asked about the Western continent.

That was where his home, his other hometown, was located.

“I plan on getting their cooperation to support us as much as possible.”

Alberu's voice was firmer than when he had been talking about the Eastern continent.

“I think we will need to gather as many strong individuals as possible.”

"Strong individuals……”

“Yes. We need strong individuals.”

Both Cale and Choi Han nodded their heads at Alberu’s firm statement.

They knew why Alberu was emphasizing the need for strong individuals.

"Cale, you said that you saw statues of 8 unranked monsters?”

The eight sculptures Cale had seen on the altar in the Endable Kingdom's underground…

“And that two of them were even stronger than the strongest monster you have ever seen.”

“I believe so.”

“Then we definitely need strong individuals.”
