Chapter 74 - The Night Before The Fight

Finally, after two months, Hedin came to take them back after their training. He was proud to see both Astrea and Anew. Hedin was proud of the fact that both his pupils had managed to survive and that they had grown stronger than expected. Hedin said, "Astrea and Anew, time for a new mission. Now, let's go back to the capital."

As Astrea and Anew were teleported to the capital, Hedin said, "Take a few days to enjoy yourselves." Astrea replied, "Finally, we're back!" Astrea's first thought was, "Let's go eat."

Astrea went to a restaurant to eat, but it was closed. He then went to another restaurant, but that one was closed as well. Frustrated, Astrea went to the administration office, where he was informed that the entire royal capital was surrounded by undead soldiers. The enemy's forces were about 200 times more than those at the Vah Meadow village incident. On top of that, the king had ordered the grandmaster to protect him. So, the grandmaster was in the castle, and the acting grandmaster was away at an international conference. It was now up to the chief justice, the available knights, and the captains currently in the capital. At that moment, there were only two captains, four vice-captains, 20 elites, and about 150 knights. With Astrea and Anew, that made a total of 152.

Hedin returned to the chief justice's residence and asked, "Mr. Hedin, how is the situation, and what are we going to do?" Hedin replied, "Don't worry, we have it under control. Tomorrow will be intense, but the walls will remain, and the citizens won't be harmed. This nation will survive. Here's the plan: You will be under Captain Alysa, which falls on the right flank of the 2nd Division, Team 9." Astrea said, "That's a lot to remember."

Hedin said, "For now, get some rest." Anew asked, "Who is the other captain currently stationed at the capital?" Hedin replied, "It's the captain of Nebuleye, Malacore Vermillion."

Astrea said, "Okay, so when do we attack?" Hedin replied, "We attack tomorrow at dawn, so be ready. Your team leader will be the elite from Avalon, Aoi."

Astrea said, "Oh, it's Aoi! It's been a while." Then Aoi joined Astrea and Anew at Hedin's estate. Astrea said, "Aoi, how are you?" Aoi replied, "I'm basically exhausted. Ever since I got transferred to the capital, it's just been work after work. I'm tired."

Hedin said, "Good to see you've returned."

Aoi said, "Yeah, sir."

Astrea asked, "Sir, do you know Aoi?"

Hedin replied, "Well, she was a friend of ours from the academy. But of course, she was a few classes below people like me, Lucifer, Luicht, etc. So, kind of my junior. And now, she's working hard and tough as nails."

Aoi said, "Say that again and I'll give you a harass you."

Hedin simply said, "Caelus Hildr."

Aoi was surprised and asked, "What was that for?"

Hedin said, "You made a comment that was a little too close to crossing the line, so that was a reminder."

Aoi said, "So, you want to fight?"

Hedin replied, "Nah, it's not going to be intense."

Anew said, "I don't know if that was funny or serious."

Aoi said, "Fine."
