[No need for reinforcements or anything like that. Even the members of the Holy Angel Alliance wanted to send their troops, but I refused. I can't reveal classified information but you just need to know that the Great Aetherium can't be destroyed by these fools.]
[Really? That's Great!]
[I knew that Lord Haru won't lose!]
[Sister Aria, I really want to visit the Great Aetherium and enjoy the scenery there.]
[Hahaha, I know what 'scenery' our little Hannah wants to enjoy!]
Subsequently, many members of the Sisterhood Collective explained their desire to visit the Great Aetherium and meet Haru.
[I'll mention it when I see Haru but no guarantees and it won't be now. Haru will definitely not allow anyone to use the teleportation arrays during the war.]
[I can wait for as long as Lord Haru wants!]
[It's over. Our little Hannah has fallen in love!]
After getting the reply from Aria, Sisterhood Collective's group chat became relaxed and its content began to gradually shift.
…
Location: Angel City.
As Aria soon met Haru, she smiled brightly and said, "My King, it's been a long time!"
Haru glanced at her and said, "Didn't we just meet two days ago…"
Aria secretly sighed, 'Is he like those clueless protagonists?'
Haru laughed slightly, "I was just joking. Anyways, I heard you wanted to ask me something."
Aria asked, "I received offers to send reinforcements from the Holy Angel Alliance and the Sisterhood Collective but as per Your Majesty's orders, I rejected them all."
Haru said, "Although their army of a billion troops is not to be underestimated, you don't need to be worried about anything. They can't even put a scratch on Angel City's walls."
Aria blinked her eyes, "Your Majesty seems to be confident?"
Haru smiled and said, "You seem to have more confidence in myself than I do."
Aria said, "Since Your Majesty is calm and collected, I naturally do not need to worry about anything."
Haru walked up the stairs and sat on his throne in the Throne Room with a calm expression, "There is really no need to worry about anything, the nine cities are a small gift I gave to the allied forces."
Hearing this, Aria sighed in her heart. As she had guessed, Haru had willingly allowed the allies to capture the nine cities. After all, she knew about the Royal Army's strength far better than any other Castle Lord.
Many Castle Lords and Rangers believed that the Aetherium Kingdom was in danger, but she was the only one who believed in them and even seeked refuge in Angel City as soon as Haru told her that her territory would be attacked by millions of troops.
Aria said in a sultry voice, "My king, my losses when moving my Castle Heart were immense. Let alone other buildings, even my Golden Lion's Den has been turned into a blueprint. When the war is over, it will be difficult for me to rebuild my territory."
Haru nodded but it took a few seconds for him to understand the true meaning of her words. However he, who had thousands of Angels, all far more beautiful than Aria, wasn't swayed by her tone and said, "In these few days, you have fought with the Royal Army to fight in the Endless Prairies, so you must have harvested a large amount of resources."
'Humph! Cold-hearted guy.' Aria immediately put away her sultry expression. She really got a ton of resources in these past few days and rebuilding her territory would be a simple matter.
She said seriously, "I Hope Your Majesty would allow my Golden Lion Army to participate in the battle against the Allies."
Haru gave her a surprised look, "Are you sure?"
It was not that he was worried about sharing exp. With a billion troops against him and only a handful of Golden Lions under Aria's command, how much experience could she even steal? Saying a drop in the ocean would not be an exaggeration.
The main problem was that he felt that once the Golden Lions joined the battlefield, it was very likely that their entire army would be wiped out. The loss of resources was negligible compared to the loss of troops.
Haru said, "Once your Golden Lions are killed in battle, I have no way to revive them. You have to be mentally prepared for this outcome."
Aria said, "As long as I can focus on getting one or two Demigod Tier troops, the others' sacrifice will be worth it."
"Yes." Haru nodded slightly. Since Aria was not afraid, then he nodded bluntly.
At this time, Aria suddenly brought up the past, and said, "Does Your Majesty really not want the Fox Princess?"
Haru gave her a sidelong glance. Why is this woman always talking about that Fox Princess? His Angels, Fallen Angels and Elves, were each extremely charming. Why would he want that Fox Princess?
Haru said, "The Divine War is coming. Focus on becoming a Goddess."
Hearing this, Aria also nodded positively. She knew that the Castle Lords had multiple enemies — the Gods of Truth, Gods of Faith and the Dimensional Demons.
"I will try to become a Goddess within a month and a half!" She had barely managed to reach the early-stage of Demigod Tier while fighting together with the Royal Army in the past few days. Although she couldn't compare to Haru, she was one of the strongest Castle Lords.
Aria looked at Haru, with a flash in her eyes and said, "After I become a Goddess, I can become immortal like you, right?"
Haru waited for some time, understood her intentions and said, "Wait for you to become Goddess. We will consider that afterwards."
