The year Lux 416, March 28th.

Rodriza stood in the villa, gazing towards the direction where the new recruits were stationed at the front line.

To monitor this war, Rodriza had deployed several Magic Bats.

However, Rodriza had no way of learning the situation in every corner of the battlefield.

Fiddling with a small black cat-head button the size of a thumbnail, suddenly, a gleam flashed across the cute black cat-head button, revealing the silhouette of a bat, flickering with a faint light.

In Rodriza's mind, a voice that she longed for echoed:

"Yes, he is the adventurer I am looking for, also known as Potato Thorn."

Closing her eyes, Rodriza seemingly saw a dim ancient castle standing on an island surrounded by bizarre magic beasts scurrying about, and the sounds of a siren's song echoing.

In the pitch-black ancient castle, a tall, dark figure was gently swirling the wineglass in his hand, the crimson liquid inside emitting a unique glow.

Rodriza opened her eyes and reverently conveyed her thoughts to her family head:

"Master, to think he would be so bold to appear here, he must be scheming something...

Upon seeing him in person, I felt an extremely dangerous aura emanating from that man.

Since his identity is confirmed, should we dispatch an assassin to attempt assassination once again?"

"My decision remains unchanged.

It is precisely because he possesses such a dangerous aura that he could become our greatest asset, the one most likely to achieve my goal."

"Master, you are so persistent about that man.

Isn't the value of this war greater than that of the man?

This war is very likely to fail due to that man's influence."

Even as she restrained her emotions, Rodriza's words inevitably carried a tinge of dissatisfaction.

The silhouette in the castle revealed a bizarre smile:

"If he fails, it only shows he is capable.

What we need most is capable individuals like him.

Aside from creating special demons and seeking treasures, I've always sought such talents.

According to the plan, prioritize controlling him.

If unable to control, then eradicate him completely.

We have made enough accomplishments, there is no need to excessively worry about the repercussions of the war's failure.

Even if there is any punishment, I can postpone that punishment indefinitely.

To achieve our purpose, if necessary, you may sacrifice your sisters.

As long as you don't reveal any flaws."

"Understood." Rodriza said respectfully.

"Be cautious in everything, do not casually let the world know your true identity.

Now, almost all the dirty and tiring work is done by your other sisters, but this doesn't mean there's no possibility of exposure.

After all, you are the masterminds behind all of this, and there are things only you can accomplish.

Once you capture that man, you can then act freely."

The dark figure drained the glass, looked at it, and smiled:

"Choosing those two sisters back then was really a good decision, pity the stock is running low now, should have kept them cooped up.

Don't forget my supply here.

Whether it's me or my cultivated adorable pets, we all need a large amount of delicious food.

Alright, go attend to your tasks."

Rodriza responded, "Yes."

The bat glimmer from the button abruptly stopped, Rodriza let out a long sigh, regardless of how many times she met, her master always possessed such authority.

Ever since the Enchanting Demon tribe fell under her master's command, she had been tirelessly venerating her master's authority.

Soon, her task would come to an end, and by then, she could return to her master's side.

She eagerly anticipated that day.

For this, she must play the role of the Eldest Prince's fiancée well.

Suddenly, someone gently knocked on the room door, shyly now opened Rodriza's room door and said:

"Sister, in a few days, Chilom is going to host a banquet.

He plans to donate most of his fortune to the country to support this war, intending to let everyone witness.

We have already received the invitation, Father asked you to clear your schedule and attend with the Eldest Prince."

Rodriza didn't immediately respond to this matter but called now to her side:

"Sister, I have some very important matters here, I need you to arrange some personnel, can we discuss them on the side?"

...

...

Sitting in the kitchen, listening to Yang Yu's report.

Chilom flipped through the list left by Yang Yu, ultimately igniting it in the stove fire, reducing the list full of names to ashes.

Yang Yu officially joined the battlefield half a month ago, with their combat power surpassing the standard, they effortlessly handled the war situations.

The precarious war situation easily flipped under Yang Yu's appearance.

The Beastman Soldiers coming along the Beidong River were beaten by Yang Yu and company, discarding their helmets and armor, fleeing in all directions.

Due to his outstanding performance in multiple battles, and giving the general responsible there considerable face at the contest, Yang Yu gained immense combat freedom.

With this, Yang Yu and Chilom finalized the schedule for the plan, distributing prepared invitations to all important personnel.

What Chilom needed to do was, as before, preparing a menu for the upcoming grand banquet.

"Hey, you two young ladies over there, anyway you two are idling, having nothing special to do, just help me taste-test some dishes!"

Iyas and He Meng pointed at themselves.

Chilom nodded and walked toward the ingredients.

At this very moment, in the deep sea, a strange entity seemed to be summoned by something; it opened its glowing eyes.

Tiny beams of light illuminated the surroundings, revealing all sorts of bizarre wreckage around it.

These remains, after centuries, had turned into a home for fish, covered by thick layers of sand.

Once whole, it had now become so fragmented, it completely lost the possibility of resurfacing.

Fortunately, its core function, after centuries of self-repairing, had finally returned to normal.

About ten years ago, there was an attempt to activate it.

Back then, it couldn't fully operate, could only open a small gap.

Now, it can.

Now, it can finally respond to those who call its name, teleporting those people from another world to this world.

This is its duty.

Its entire being lit up along with its eyes, its shape gradually became clear, resembling a small light figure half-buried in the soil.

A series of circular Magic Arrays slowly expanded from its center.

A solitary voice began to slowly resonate in the deep sea:

"Commencing countdown... 364 days, 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds... 58... 57..."
