After a few days Nina and company arrived at the battlefield of the Ruth and the Hecktor empires. The battle was still ongoing, and it was close. The Ruth empire did become stronger, but it was not enough for a quick victory. Nina, Macro, Redon and company saw that the Elizabeth, the empress of the Ruth empire was leading the troops to battle and firing fire balls at different points when it was needed. She generally did a good job and there were not many breaches and other problems during the fight. The Ruth empire was slowly getting the upper hand, but it caused a lot of losses to both sides. It was not the ideal way of winning, but it was better than losing. When Elizabeth saw the party of Max's brats she was confused and asked: "What are you doing here? You should be on the other battlefield. Did something bad happened there?"
Redon wanted to shout some stupid shit but was cut off by Nina. He was agitated to enter battle and blast the shit out of everything here. Nina said: "We obliterated most of the enemy army there. The others should be able to clean up the battlefield with no big problems. We even killed a daemon during the fight. We will enter battle now. Just keep people getting in front of us. Redon is not good at identifying allies when he is in the mood. As you see he is in the mood to kill the shit out of everything."
The empress was at a loss and before she could even reply the team of the brats headed forward. It was very hard to hold Redon back when he was ready to blast some fuckers to the afterlife. Elizabeth came back to her senses short time after. Then she quickly ordered her people to retreat because she did not want some of her elites to die for no reason at all. The brats team just went to the center of the battlefield and the scene from the first battle with the Zeus empire was replayed again. Redon was like a fire machine. He was just turning people to ash left and right. Only the Grand knights would die and leave a corpse behind. Before the attack of the royal team began a lot of nobles from the Ruth empire did not understand why the empress was giving them such strange commands, but after seeing people get decimated, they quickly followed her command. Most of the people just went to other places to fight. This war gave a big amount of contribution to most people partaking in the war. It was a chance to get up in society. For the Ruth empire citizens, it was a chance to get a noble title, new territories and other good stuff. The ones that did not really want to fight anymore or wanted to get some rest just stood behind Nina's team. Most of them were dumbfounded and looking at Redon with a strange expression. The young man was full of vigour. Elizabeth also halted her commands for a short time as a result of what she was looking at. She saw the good teamwork. It was a two-shift strategy. When Redon would get tired the team will get more defensive with Marco in the lead stunning everyone. The weaker forces would just get charred to death and the rest would be hacked to pieces by the grand knights around. Elizabeth already understood that she would lose to such power in a very short time as well. The enemy forces tried to fight back but Nina was great at defending her allies. She did not try to attack. Only defending her people. She was a good commander. She did not care about killing more people, but about winning the battle and not letting her people to get killed or injured badly. After a short time, the enemy line collapsed, and they just ran away under the bombardment of the different mages. When Elizabeth got to the royal brat team Redon was angrily spitting on the charred ground and shouting: "Those cowardly bastards! The previous battle was more like it! Let's run after them! I will burn them myself! 3$R#4r~!" After this Redon just started to curse but was stopped but a slap on the back on his head by Nina. After that he cooled down a little, but was still visibly upset.
Nina exchanged a few words with Elizabeth and just gave a simple command that got the red-haired brute even more upset: "Alright, we are going back. We did our thing. Staying here is just a waste of time. Redon if you want to fight go and fight the level four bot and win it. You can always go all out at the gaming club. There is no need for you to clean some scrap over here. We have two more dungeons to study. There are more important stuff to do then to stay here."
She said logical things, but the only thing she wanted is to finish with this mission. Redon almost got their team killed the first time they fought, and she did not want to have some fuck up and get roasted to a shish kebab.
Generally, the war ended fairly quickly. The daemons representatives already sent the signal to the higher ups and got a message to try and infiltrate other empires. It was clear that stuff won't work here. The higher ups of the daemon empire got the news about Max and his ability to fire supernova at will. It was a short way to hell, and it was not something they wanted to happen. They did have powerhouses on the same level, but a high mage that is hell bent on sending a nuke incoming on your head is not something anyone with even a little brain power really want to see.
As for Max. He was planning to go to the central parts of the human continent to see what the hell is going on. He could go as a ruler, but he was not interested in all those politics. He did not care about all those stuff. He will use the easy way and just go there as an alchemist. This was the best way from his perspective to meet a lot of people and a chance to get a lot of good relationships and good connections. He could set a teleportation formation so he could come back if shit hit the fan so he was ready to go. He waited for his little retards to come back. After they did, he gave them some general instructions and just went on his way. It was something he wanted to do for a long time and now this time has finally come for him to explore this world further. Max did not take anyone with him. He just took a space ring with some weapons, coins and magic crystals and went for his journey. He also took everything that was needed to build a portal back home that he could construct and get back home quickly if needed. After finishing all his preparations, he departed without altering anyone. The people that knew he left could be counted on his two hands.
