"Our lookouts in port city returned just now. The armies are here and they've already started making their way north. It'll take them about two days to reach us." Leonard relayed some news inside of a room filled with kings, princes, and generals. One would never think that such a group up was possible, but thanks to war, it did.

"That's fine, we're prepared. Let the soldiers know we'll move out at night and intercept the army before it can make its way to Avalon." Arthur got up and started discussing things with Leonard. He found out that the armies that came would meet up with the surviving Blood sect members scattered around the continent, and their allies, the Beastmen and Oni. They managed to amass an army of 200.000 soldiers by having multiple kingdoms meet up and fight against Blood sect. Still, their enemies outnumbered them 5 to 1.

"Sir Arthur, is Ed not back yet?" Hayato came up to Arthur and asked him. Next to him, some of Ed's friends waited for an answer.

"I'm sure he'll be back soon, don't worry." Arthur smiled and reassured them. Ed had his way around disappearing during critical times, but he would appear no matter what.

Alicia and Uther were talking, as she had left Scale kingdom in order to train at Avalon. Both of them heard Arthur and nodded along with his words. They knew just how much they could depend on Ed, and how he didn't disappoint.

Avalon was busy for the last couple of days. The armies of different nations set camp right next to it. Problems happened between different soldiers; either due to old grudges or new ones, but their generals hurried up and put a stop to it. People felt sick in their stomachs and couldn't stop thinking about the worst outcome. If not for their respective kings leading their armies, the morale of the soldiers would be rock bottom.

Avalon's soldiers weren't in a bad position compared to the other armies, same as Scale kingdom's. The last liberation war of Scale remained in their heads, while Avalon's soldiers remembered Ed's gallant figure. His presence could have helped raise the morale a bit more, but there was no use crying over spilled milk.

Inside of Glory sect, ten figures stepped outside of a room and the disciples started cheering. The ten Elders of the sect carried a certain charisma that wouldn't lose to any normal general. After being endowed with Ed's upgraded weapons, they looked even more daunting.

"It's a war, Bard."

"It certainly is, Audun."

Bard and Audun chatted with each other while smiling. Their blood boiled inside of their veins and their QI danced in their bodies. After a long absence from the battlefield, they were finally back.

The armies marched outside of Avalon and prepared for departure. The generals made sure to keep the food supply of each army inside a spatial ring they kept with them at all times. Right as the kings emerged out of the castle, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Edward!" Leon, Charlie, and Liza rushed out from the group and surrounded the figure as soon as they managed to recognize it.

"Long time no see, you guys." Ed smiled as he also recognized them. Charlie didn't change much, as his black hair and eyes shined as brightly as ever. Liza seemed to let her hair grow longer. Her orange hair grew even redder, and her skin was fair and white. Ed had already met Leon before, so his changes weren't unknown to him. Garu and Goburou stood right behind Ed and released an intimidating aura. It seemed like they were concentrating on something.

"We don't have much time, so let us catch up some more once we win this war." Ed's words came as a surprise to most people present. Many of them were thinking about minimizing the damage or reaching a stalemate with Blood sect. Some simply wanted to die in a blaze of glory. Yet, Ed was confident in winning. If someone asked them now, they would say they felt their morale rise just by his words.

Those that marveled in Ed's confidence started holding their breaths one by one. His companions that did their own thing started gathering as they felt his return. Ed leveled up to Heavenly Establishment level 10, so all of his companions were Immortal level 3. Most of the kings present were above Immortal Establishment, but they had never seen so many monsters with such a level inside a kingdom.

"Father, Sir Akira, and Sir Uther. I would like to speak with you," said Ed. The three of them looked at each other and nodded. "Hayato, you as well." Five people walked back inside the castle. Those that remained outside remained puzzled as to what happened, but more pressing matters took priority, so they left.

"Here is fine." Ed stopped them in the corridor and created a barrier around without notifying them. Yet, they could still feel the change in atmosphere, as all the sounds and odors disappeared.

"I took the liberty of traveling around the continent this past week preparing for some stuff. And I will tell you about it right now." Ed started speaking while the others listened intently. The more he told them about his plans, the more astonished they became. His plan baffled all of them, and at the end, Hayato couldn't help himself.

"Ed! That's suicidal." His eyes opened widely and his face and his face looked aghast.

"But that's what we need to win. We're up against an overwhelming amount of enemies. They can control monsters, and they have allies. If we don't come up with a suicidal plan we'll have to kiss our lives goodbye." All of them knew that Ed told the truth. They felt it themselves and they could see no way out of this war where they come out on top. Now, they had no choice but to rely on Ed's strategy.

"No matter what creature it is, once their head falls off, they die." Ed left them with these words as he undid the dimension. Although unwilling, the others accepted his plan and were going to follow through with it.

That day, the armies finally departed from Avalon. A gruesome war awaited them.
