Having a way to bait out the major threat that was pushing its luck within the Sigil continent was already great news. Walker was sure that as this news spread, he would be finding more and more people who had been able to make better advances in their own areas of expertise.
The royal dragoons fully returning to Genesis and their elder dragons beginning to set up their new homes was already beyond what everyone had been expecting. The elder dragons joining meant that there would be a powerful force to combat the strongest of the undead corrupted monsters controlled by the demon lord.
However, the idea was to weaken the forces that could protect such a place.
Many of the kingdoms had war strategies that relied on whittling down the numbers of an army. To make the strengths something less than what it should be.
Some had dastardly histories that relied on cutting off water and food supplies. Others had histories where they collapsed mountains full of snow to ensure that fields would flood in the warming of colder seasons.
Each of these methods might not help the current situation, but they had been lessons. Whole these war practices would have brought multiple kingdoms to fight the offender out of justice, they had been lessons in history. They were a line that was not crossed any longer.
The idea to bait out one of the sin demons, Envy, had already been a better idea in the first place. The slimes that were controlled by Envy as a slime breeder, caused untold damages.
Nature, cities, loving beings, and many other things had been victim to them. Now that they carried infective corrupted mana, things would be worse. The angels were reporting that the marsh lands where the slimes had been dropped were massively polluted right now.
Some monsters had accidentally come in to contact with the slime bodies, managed to survive the attacks on them, and then began to be corrupted with mana at a greater rate. Some monsters have even started to destroy the terrain itself.
The angel forces have been combating this danger because they managed to find a rampaging mud boar that had destroyed an entire span of marsh grass. Enough that others would not have the ability to feed on the marsh grass come the nest rotation in their migration patterns. Especially since the mud boars were considered vegetarians and would not normally consume food radically or attack others unless protecting their young.
"You suggest that you bring a small force that can hide within the marsh?" Scylla quickly flipped through papers and started to pass these plans out to everyone. The question had come from Markus Raven as he was unsure that sending a smaller force would work better. He wanted to ensure that the demon was defeated.
"As you can see, the force I recommend will be made of the dragons, assassins, and others that would be able to hide from the prying eyes of the floating island. That will allow a small, recognizable force, to bring the brilliant slime to fight the other slimes." Scyllas' knowledge showed clear as day.
She had hand written composed plans that detailed the kind of soldiers that could be dispatched. She also was going to use the party. The people that the sin demons knew best. That Envy had spoken to before and clearly thought he could always beat because he felt he had before.
"The party of heroes will move with the brilliant slime. This means that Ebon will need to be hidden nearby. Up until now, light and healing slimes have not been used by Envy. if they have, they are not of the same kind that they should be. By bringing out the brilliant slime to fight, it will showcase that a new slime species might be used to combat its current slimes."
"This will both make it appear that the party has gained the ability to control slimes and may attempt to steal slimes. Or, it will make Envy wish to steal away the slime that was created that is unlike the ones he is capable of making. We already know that lord slimes are created by Envy, but the breeding slimes? Yellow, purple, and a few other sub types. Nothing that relates to light."
With this, Scylla smiled sharply. She was prepared to use everything at her disposal to enact this plan. It was clear that she was a general for a reason. She had even mapped out a potential travel route for the party to combat slimes using the brilliant slime. So much so that the expected route of the floating city was marked as well. Incredible details with the assistance of the angels' forces.
"I agree, we already expected to go and finish this. We have fought the slime breeder since we were first heading in to the forest elf lands." Walker looked around the room and saw approval from everyone. They knew that the party had a major bone to pick with the slime breeder. The stories were already shared all around Genesis and the united kingdoms.
"What about the lord slime that might be brought? We heard and saw the potential damage to the wyvern queen. They can take on monsters, or races, more powerful than themselves." This was something that Terron brought up. He normally remained silent. However, he was very angry to be reminded that the one in charge of slimes attacking others was still alive and causing trouble.
"That's why I want many guards to be around. Mordant has a very powerful ability to hide within the shadows. As does Onyx. the shadows, the guilds guards, are able to do the same to a degree. Then we have some more mages and assassins from other races that already volunteered. It is an ideal army platoon that can take this on." Scylla's persistence came as she passed out more pages.
These pages listed many different groups with their abilities to hide in plain sight or shadows. "The march lands are full of shadows and places to hide. Merfolk can take to the underground underwater systems. That is where Current will take the lead as well. He can map and navigate them. That is when he fully adjusts to his newfound strength. I believe he is still resting within the Lake that he discovered his ruins in now. He only sent dragon kin and elders to communicate."
This was the only royal dragon not present. It wasn't that he truly wasn't. A communication pearl was right there sending the voices to him so he could listen. But something about his process of growth required him to remain within water without leaving or moving it.
However, he had made it clear that he would be arriving for this battle. He did not wish to see ice slimes or water related slimes to be controlled by Envy. if they managed to gain them and corrupt their mana, it meant that the villages that would not be coming to Genesis could be touched. Even the coldest and highest mountains could be touched.
"I already spoke to his elder this morning. He has solidified his mana. He will be arriving at the portal to meet us." Mordant chimed in. He had silently been meeting all his fellow royal dragons to see where they stood. He wanted to make sure that they all were fully ready to fight. He understood now that the manas within their bodies were delicate. Especially after meeting in depth with Ignus.
"Then the plan is set. Everyone will have three more days until the force gathers and leaves." Scylla ended the final meeting here. Ebon had been silent throughout and was amazed to see how the governing body came together so fluidly. He was amazed and could only think about how many of the adventurer's guild friends he had made he would tell about how it all works.
"Remey, Ignus, please remain." Walker stopped the two. The rest of the part also hung back.
"What do you need? I have to get potions ready for us." Remey's annoyance was clear. But this was more important.
"Can your body handle this? If we fight lord slimes more powerful than we saw, not to mention Envy, can you survive?" Walker's worries were not unfounded. Everyone knew that Remey and Ignus had longer to go so that they would be able to handle the mana within them.
The two had chosen a new path. Ignus was still walking on one to become the flame dominator dragon. That stayed the same. But Remey followed the path as a human. she was changing herself at a key level of her being. It was a tough struggle to overcome. A path that she literally had to carve herself. It presented various risks if she could not control her mana.
