As for the war strategy and such...Wilhelm believed that his brother would be the one handling this, and he might have already implemented his plan right now.
Indeed.
A few hours before the war started, the merfolk had sent their troops to guard the sea around the transition island and the beastmen occupied the other islands not far from the transition island.
With this, the celestials wouldn't have any other places to rest other than on the clouds.
But the flying-type beasts and monsters they had tamed were all ready to disturb these 'angels' among clouds.
It was soon to be nighttime outside, but this was exactly why Wilhelm had a hunch that the war would start in just a few hours.
Their blood clan members were creatures of the night, and they would be more powerful when it was dark.
The celestials must have planned to wait until tomorrow when the sun went up, but the blood clan's king might not give them that chance.
[Anyway, you can do as you wish and don't worry about anything. Since you can be revived, even if you die again and we have to wait for a few years to wake you, we will still revive you.]
And Wilhelm believed that with Ainsley's special status as the cub of their blood clan race, she would be given a priority when it was time to be revived.
[Caroline and Lyod specialized in reviving all pure-blood members in our race. They won't join the frontline and will stay at the rear, so if you can, protect them.]
Wilhelm knew that Ainsley was closer to the two people than other blood clan members, so she wouldn't reject his request at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAinsley listened to Wilhelm's series of words and was amazed for a moment.
How did she remember Joan saying this boy is usually too lazy to talk?
Now, he's speaking non-stop!
[Okay, okay, ancestor. I'll definitely protect them well. If I go to the frontline, I'll let my sacred beast protect them.]
Ainsley pointed at Bello, who was still the size of a cat and immediately received Wilhelm's fiery look.
Oh. As someone who loved fluffy animals, he couldn't resist cats at all.
He knew about this sacred beast who chose to serve humans for generations, but he didn't expect to see this beast in their disguise state.
What a cute cat!
Facing Wilhelm's fiery gaze, Bello almost jumped on the spot.
Nya! Don't look at this great cat with the eyes of someone who looks like he wants to rub me until I'm bald, nya!
Bello hurriedly hid behind Ainsley's calf while pretending not to see Wilhelm.
Anyway...Wilhelm couldn't materialize to catch Bello in front of Jake, who was still under the celestials' control.
At the same time, the 1.5 million celestial troops had all arrived in the sky territory above the transitional island, and all of them saw the thick crimson barrier protecting the island.
Zenith and the two elders also came with the other troops because he was the one who knew this island the best through his puppet Jake.
When he saw the crimson barrier shining under the orange-ish sky, Zenith couldn't help but frown.
"The island didn't have a protective barrier before this. Could it be that the blood clan noticed our presence here?"
So many celestials...if the blood clan were around, they would definitely sense the holy aura of these celestials.
However, Zenith and the two elders previously guessed that the blood clan should be somewhere far from the sea where they could build something underground.
So...how did this crimson barrier full with the smell of blood suddenly popped out?
The two elders heard Zenith's confusion and immediately replied with another guess.
"Maybe the blood clan places some unimportant members around the island or other small islands not far from here."
If that's the case, after sensing their celestials' collective aura, they might have notified the blood clan's higher-ups, and that's how this blood barrier appeared.
"It seems that although this is just a transitional island, it's still important for the blood clan members."
"Of course. After all, they have the portal leading to their kingdom on this island. If we can crack the way to use the portal...they will be done for."
"I see....what about her majesty? Has she arrived?"
One of the elders looked at Zenith, and Zenith, who was the queen's nephew and knew a lot about the queen's whereabouts, immediately nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She told me that she has already arrived. You should know that the troops are divided into several groups, right?"
That's why they didn't see the queen in their group because she might be in other groups.
The queen really went all out and brought so many famous celestial generals with her, accounting to 10 generals at once.
Each of the generals had their own speciality troops, and the queen might be among the strongest group.
"My aunt said we can go to her place if we want to. She's still resting among the clouds in the west..."
Zenith also wanted to see his aunt and asked some questions about the upcoming attack.
Since they couldn't see the blood clan members and couldn't lure them out to the place they wanted to, what would the queen do next?
Start bombing the island?
Zenith and the two elders quickly flapped their wings and flew to the clouds in the west.
It was already sunset now, and the usually white clouds slowly became either reddish-orange or, if it were rare, it would be pink.
The queen only wanted golden clouds, so she chose the west cloud areas that were dyed with golden sunlight, suitable for a noble celestial like her.
Gold is really suitable for a holy celestial like her!
