The Imminent War

(A month passed, and with that, new news about the war in Lightning Slit arrived through newspapers, which spread to the world like turbulent winds.)

[NCN: Noah Cold News]

[Legorio in danger? The army moves towards the kingdom!]

[Apparently, 2 days ago, a villager who resides in the southern forests saw a large army of criminals heading east through the freezing forests.]

[Apparently, Zakov is not running away, but rather seeking something beyond the Lightning Slit and beyond the Noah realm.]

[The villager's description indicates that Zakov is not present in this troop, but rather the organization's deputy leader, Marco.]

[According to The Flash Report, the most reliable newspaper in Lightning Slit, Zakov is in trouble due to a lack of weapons. Since Eny started destroying the weapons warehouses, Zakov has had difficulty holding off Eny's offensives.]

[With this, some theories emerged as to why Zakov sent his right-hand man to the battlefield outside the Lightning Slit. One of the theories is that Legorio is a small kingdom, and it would be easy to conquer, due to its low number of soldiers.]

[Another theory says that Marco will conquer his own land, and the main objective is not Legorio.]

[Conspiracy theories have also emerged indicating that, in fact, Legorio is hiding something that Zakov is interested in, but this theory does not have any evidence to indicate that this theory is correct.]

[After confirming the report, the current Supreme Mage, Zoe Ethy, announced that she is going to Legorio to defend the kingdom in case of a possible war. With her, the gold badge adventurer, Rodic, was summoned to go to Legorio.]

[Apparently, it is estimated that Marco's army will arrive in Legorio in 2 days. The Supreme Mage is a little further away from Marco, which could be a decisive factor in the conflict.]

[Legorio's kingdom must already be evacuating the population for a possible imminent war.]

(Light Rods POV)

When I read the article, I was transfixed. I could never imagine that Legorio would go to war.

Even now I'm scared, because people I've already seen will probably have to flee or even die if we lose, and soldiers who were once close to me will be killed.

Not only that, what about the village?

What if Marco's army decides to come to the village?

If Marco decides to come here, I will definitely be killed...

When I read that they are coming to Legorio, all I could think about was that safe I saw while I was in the castle.

There's probably an Epic Weapon inside the safe...

How did they find out?

Could it be that they were already infiltrated here, just waiting for the right moment?

Does Legorio have a chance of winning?

I know the Supreme Mage will appear, but what if it's too late when she arrives?

I need to act... I can't watch with my arms crossed while everyone is giving their lives to survive...

If Legorio loses, everyone loses.

I need to help them, I need to go to war!

I already proved myself to be useful when I saved Foguinho. Since that event, I have become stronger and stronger.

My tree growth magic is getting faster and more optimized, I'm sure I can be a surprise factor...

But only I will go, I can't let William follow me this time. This is another level of danger, I have a high chance of dying, and I don't want my brother to suffer the same fate.

I'm sure he'll be against my opinion, that's because he's been training all this time for moments like this, but he's still a child, and he has no idea what war is like.

I have no experience myself, but in my old world, I have seen the horrors that war can do.

This could be the perfect opportunity for me to test my thunder magic at full strength, as well as gain experience. But one slip, and I die.
