Elsa then approached Quinshi and told her "Quinshi the plan to ally ourself with the royal family is now going smoothly can you inform Mira and Glasses about this?"

Quinshi nodded Elsa then said "I'll gather the others"

​​

She then went out once again as she went to the group respective places.

Back at the Hidden Camp Quinshi told Mira and Glasses about what Elsa have said.

Both of them smiled slyly as their plan is going into fruition.

They were the ones that told Elsa to show Crystal how strong their group really are and some of the information regarding their group.

Elsa might befriend Crystal but she wod never share any information regarding their group but since it was Mira and Glasses order she agreed.

After an hour everyone finally gathered they then started a rowdy discussion on what to do next.

Leafinia and Herish have decided not to join any of their plan as they are now extremely busy training their priest and apostles while also creating pseudo forests at the new villages.

The priest were doing quite great as Leafinia and Herish were considered one of the best healers there is.

For the apostles they need to train with Al and Don² which is extremely tough but they all suck it up since they know that with the uncertain future they are now having strength is important.

Now that Yshelia is creating a forcefield for the town and the archers that Iria and Erz trained were starting to become elites the Lodging Area now feels like an impregnable fortress.

The apes of the three monkey tribes were also blossoming under Don²'s guidance and Al have already taught the basics at the tanks.

With the group protecting the Lodging Area its safety were much more secure than the Dragon City.

What's more there is a secret that the Lodging Area hold.

It is that the town is a den of assassins with Lisa and Allicia controlling thr dark side of the town no one dares to question the law.

The Great Gang Alliance is still operating so the gang members were still tight with their own gang.

The arena were also considered their own hideout since there were two venues the one above and the other is underground.

Most of the gang members became military force while some of them became adventurers and once a while they would meet up with each other to party and enjoy their current life.

This makes the relationship between the military and the adventurers harmonous.

Also they would contest each other in strength as they rank themselves according to strength.

The strongest gang is the Great Wolf Gang not only Elsa recruited many talented newbies but her strength and charisma increased greatly after becoming a guild leader.

The second rank is surprisingly a tie between the Great Bull Gang and the Sly Hand.

Its because of Mad Head since he is the town chief if he found any talent he would first recruit him/her to be a soldier or an adventurer and since he was their sponsor they joined his gang.

Scar was having a headache because of this unlike Mad Head his gang requires quality over quantity but to train or find any capable assassin isn't that easy.

The most pitiful one is Rose there are only a couple of members in her gang and it could only compare to the number of members that the Sly Hand had but the quantity is clearly lower than the members trained by both Lisa and Scar.

The top four gang were still recruiting with their all and their competition is as heated as before no it is actually more heated than they were in the Slum.

Now that war is coming they have started to steel themselves and swore to protect the town that which made their dark life more fulfilling.

While the whole town busy themselves in either preservation or increasing their strength the group in the Hidden Camp was still embroiled in a fierce discussion.

Ultimately Mary made the final decision after an hour of debate her decision is to make the royal family their subordinate slash ally.

With their strength they would first instill fear towards all the royal family and their forces.

Their second step is to give many benefits to the important people in the kingdom earning their gratitude

Lastly plant a spy on their ally so after deciding such plan Yshelia and Mira agrees to have an audience with the royal family.

Elsa would also attend in their discussion as her status is one of the importance to the royal family and the populance.

Yshelia claps her hand and said "Okay me and Mira would be staying in the guild Elsa immediately inform Crystal about this"

Elsa sighed and said "Not possible in the moment knowing her she might be in the Sanctuary finishing some E-Rank mission"

Yshelia was surprised and asks "You have told us that she isn't using any of her pet and yet in just a few days she manage to raise her rank?"

Elsa nodded "Her potential is quite great and after becoming an adventurer her flashy swordsmanship became much more practical and deadly"

Yshelia nodded as many of their soldiers would also go to the Sanctuary to earn extra cash as a soldier could also be a part time adventurer.

The battle between life and death steeled themselves especially so if they were fighting low intelligence insect type monsters.

While the two of them were chatting Mira following behind them were busy looking at a certain document.

It was an information pertaining about demi-human race it seems that the mad orcs were eating other races and most of their victim were either human or demi-human.

The orc king is truly mad they became the number of living being just like the Necromancer Association.

The three of them then arrives at the guild Elsa immediately brought them to the guest room as she told them that once Crystal returns from her mission she would inform her about their decision.

They did not have to wait that long as in the Sanctuary Elsa was now facing off against a mantis monster.

The monster already have one of its arm cut off while Elsa was still unaffected.

Elsa looking at the injured mantis thought 'Its time to finish this'

Her form then changed as her sword became blurry as if water was cascading towards the mantis.

She shouted "Fifth form of a Flowing Water Sword Art Raging Tide!!!"

After she finished her attack the mantis monster fell down as she immediately started picking up her mission objective and that is the mantis head and core.

When she first started doing this she was pf course disgusted but she forced herself to still do it and after repeating this process countless of times she was now used to it.

She then walks towards the exit as those that saw her immediately parted as they fear and respected her.

Even though she is known to be only a E-Rank adventurer most of the adventurer in the guild know her strength were D to C-Rank.

After going back to the guild she immediately presented her mission objective before taking her reward.

Just as she was about to pick another mission one of the clerk suddenly jnformed her "Miss Crystal the guildmaster is calling you"

Hearing this Crystal quickly ran up to the second floor and enter the guildmaster room.

She did not even knock the reason for this is because she really wanted to know what their decision is after all their decision would decide the fate of this kingdom and her family.

Elsa looks at Crystal who entered the room in a hurry.

She laughs and said teasingly "Princess shouldn't you first change to your former dress after all you are going to meet two of the important individual in our group"

Crystal started rubbing her helmet as she immediately went into her room in the guild and changed her armor to her dress.

She then return back to the guildmaster room but her expression turned into one of that is surprised as she saw that there are two new individuals sitting inside.

What she did not know is that Yshelia and Mira were in the next room and after being informed by Elsa's little sister they immediately went into the room.

Crystal hurriedly greets the two "Greetings to Miss Yshelia and Miss Mira, I am the third princess of Dragon Kingdon Crystal Dragonin Long"

Yshelia nodded and said "We have already heard about you from guildmaster Elsa"

Crystal nodded she then seriously asks "About your decision in forming an alliance have you agreed?"

Mira nodded "Yes but we need to discuss the specific to your higher ups so lead us"

Crystal was inwardly ecstatic because Shadowslash's group accepted the proposal towards an alliance.

She then courtly bows and said "With pleasure"

She then whistled as her pet monster Black Diamond Scale Dragon flew down.
