Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 726  Grim Situation [2]

Max furrowed his brows upon hearing this. The situation was really dire. But what he was really thinking at this moment was…

ʼWhy didnʼt Wyomin tell me about it? Not only that, she gave me her precious piece of wood.ʼ

His gaze flickered in thought, and then he looked at the tense crowd and said, ”You all donʼt need to despair. The situation isnʼt as dire as you think.”

Marthaʼs eyes flashed, and she immediately said, ”Did Sir Alton or the lady Wyomin tell you something?”

Max was about to shake his head when he noticed the subtle shift in her expression. He understood what she wanted and said, ”I met Lady Wyomin just a while ago. Although she didnʼt say anything about it, she didnʼt look concerned. This means she believes everything will be fine.”

As soon as he said this, Armand and othersʼ expressions relaxed a little, and an early-stage five star mage from the Martell family asked, ”Is what you said true, young master?”

”Yes. It is.” Max nodded, ”I donʼt know what they are planning and why they havenʼt already told you about it, but things arenʼt out of control just yet. So, I advise you all to cheer up, and when the demons attack, focus on surviving and gaining as much war merit as you can if possible.”

Martha swept her gaze over at them and said, ”Now go, calm your people, and cultivate. Also be alert. The demons may attack any time.”

After everyone left, Martha led Max in her formation house.

Sitting in front of him, she said, ”Thank you.”

Max shook his head. ”There is no need. I didnʼt lie.”

To his slight surprise, Martha nodded, ”I know. I can also tell the emperors arenʼt too concerned about the situation. But they wouldnʼt have easily believed me if I told them the same. So, thank you.”

After a pause, she added, ”Also, I hope you donʼt mind their reactions when they saw you.”

Max shook his head. ”Itʼs completely understandable. Knowing Iʼm the demonsʼ target, they wouldnʼt be at ease if I am with them.”

Martha nodded in appreciation before asking, ”Where are those three?”

”They are still training in the temple.” Max said, and before she could ask anything more, he changed the tpic, ”Kriss hasnʼt come out yet?”

Hearing his question, Marthaʼs expression changed, becoming a little sad, and pity flashed in her eyes, which made him frown.

”What is it?”

Sigh!

Martha sighed and said, ”He had come out earlier than me and entered the demonʼs territory with others.”

Sighing again, she added, ”Pauline also went with him.”

Maxʼs brows knit together tightly. Then he asked, ”Have you tried contacting them?”

”We have. But they didnʼt respond.” Martha said before sighing in pity, ”What a pity. Both were extremely talented and would have—”

”I feel they are still alive; at least Kriss is.” Max said, interrupting her.

Martha raised her brows at his words. Then a moment later, she nodded, ”I hope you are right and they are alive; otherwise, it would truly be a pity.”

After making some small talk, he left her formation house and headed toward the demonsʼ territory.

However…

Just when he was about to leave the humansʼ territory, Altonʼs voice sounded in his head, [Feeling adventurous, are we?]

Max stopped and stared ahead, in the direction of the demon city. He could feel many vague presences in front of him and knew the moment he stepped into the humansʼ domain, he would be attacked.

”No, just checking things out.” He said before thoughtfully adding, ”It seems they have already sorted out their differences and will attack sometime soon.”

[Quite observant you are.] Altonʼs slightly surprised voice sounded.

”You all have some plan, right?” Max asked,

[Yeah, a simple one.]

Max sighed in relief hearing this, but in the next moment, he became stunned.

[...Fight and beat the overconfidence out of those ugly bastards. Isnʼt this plan good?]

Max waited for a while for him to say he was joking, but Alton did not. His expression became grim, and he said in a gloomy voice, ”You are not serious, right?”

[I am, kid.] Alton said, [But you donʼt need to worry... Well, not too much, because mages from the central plains will soon come and help you fight them.]

Max didnʼt relax and instead asked, ”How soon?”

[Well, as you must have already found out, the demons have surrounded your kingdom. So, going out and coming in is a little difficult. But I can confidently tell you they will arrive by tomorrow evening at the latest. So, pray the demons donʼt attack until then.]

[Now, return. And be careful. Like before, youʼll be in the most danger.]

Saying this, the voice vanished.

Max stood there, his gaze flickering in thought.

After a while, he took out his communication crystal and contacted Ashroth and asked him what was going on in the demon city and when they were planning to attack.

When Ashroth responded a half a minute later, his expression turned heavy, and he immediately sent Wyomin a message.

[Donʼt let them leave the war temple until the reinforcements from the central plains arrive.]

Swoosh!

After that he contacted Martha and told her to gather all Five Star mages as soon as possible and rushed back.

He didnʼt bother telling what he found out from Ashroth because he believed they must already know this or would find out soon enough.

When he arrived, Martha and others were already gathered, looking confused.

Some of them wanted to ask why he gathered them so soon, but when they saw his expression, they kept quiet, and the air became thick with tension.

Swoosh!

With a wave of his hand, he cast an isolation barrier and enveloped everyone in it. After that he swept his glance across them and told them what Alton told him.

”Thatʼs good. Now as long as the demons donʼt attack before tomorrow evening, everything will be fine.” Someone sighed in relief, but others didnʼt share the same sentiment and kept their gazes glued to Max, who looked at the early-stage Five Star female mage who had just spoken and slowly said.

”Unfortunately for us, the demons are going to attack within an hour.”

Boom!
