While the party was discussing things in the office room next to the throne room, they heard a knock on the door.

Glancing towards the door, they could see a lazy woman leaning against the door.

She wore a pair of glasses and had long black hair that reached her ear. She wore a long black jacket, a plain white shirt, a medium length skirt and some tights. Rather than shoes, she wore a pair of flip flops instead.

[Trisil LVL 480 Demonic Duchess]

"Oh is that the princess. Greetings." Trisil yawned while giving her a small wave.

Seeing this, Akog frowned but before he could say anything, Madison waved back.

"Hello, if you are tired, you can rest a bit more and we can get to know each other once you're rested." Madison smiled.

"Heh~ I like you. But don't worry, I'm always tired." Trisil grinned as she pulled out a lollipop and put it in her mouth.

"Let's see… Hm… seems like you lot are planning to take the farmland." She said while glancing at the map.

"Mn, you see, here is the plan so far."

Explaining their plans to her, Trisil listened patiently while glancing at the map.

"I say you'd want to watch out a little then. The little princess that's ranked 70 places quite a bit of importance on this farmland. At the first sign of danger, she'll probably arrive as soon as she can so unless you want to fight her, I don't think you'll be able to claim this land properly. Of course, even if you defeat her, you'll need to be wary of who she is allied with in the higher ranks." Trisil warned as Akog looked at her in surprise.

"Wait she's allied herself with someone now?" Akog asked.

"Yes. In the time that you were out, she had allied herself with rank 49 Casia. Thankfully, since the alliance is rather new, Casia won't do much but she'll still be annoyed so prepare for any retaliation she might throw at you." Trisil nodded her head.

"You either take the farmland and eliminate the little princess or you leave it because if you don't eliminate her early and the alliance solidifies, she'll probably turn her attention to us since we're rank 72 and our land is the smallest here. The only reason why she hasn't done so already is because she was just a little stronger than us and rank 71. If she fought, she would be eliminated by rank 71. But now that she has allied herself with Casia, we'll need to be careful of her attacking us first if we don't want to lose our territory. We have to go hard on the offence or go hard on the defence, whichever suits you more." Trisil shrugged before laying her body on one of the sofas on the side and covered her eyes with an eye mask.

Seeing this, Akog's smile twitched.

"She's right. Now that we know rank 70 is allied with a higher rank and the alliance is pretty new, we should eliminate her as soon as possible so that the higher rank doesn't invest too much into this. Plus, she'll probably attack sooner or later, so it's probably better for us to have the surprise attack against her." Akog said as Madison nodded her head.

"The plan remains the same then with a small change. We're going to eliminate the queen candidate." Madison said as her face was completely serious.

Peeking out from under her eye mask, Trisil had a small smile on her face seeing Madison's expression.

Packing up everything, the group left the castle and entered their car. Akog decided to tag along just in case while Balrog decided to stay behind and help Trisil with a few things. If things do go south, they can go assist quickly.

Once she was sure that everyone was in, Shiro started the car and drove towards the farmland.

Tapping her fingers on the steering wheel, a few nanobot drones materialised on the top of the car roof and flew ahead of them.

Tracing her fingers along the dashboard, two screens appeared and showed them what the drones could see.

Even from this distance, they could already see a sign of the farmland in the distance. A few watch towers were built and the darkness obscured the main fortress but the walls leading up to it gave them a rough idea on where it is.

As for the surroundings, there were a few hills but not much cover with lots of flat land that was good for farming.

There was a single river that was next to the farm as a few artificial channels were dug to redirect the water elsewhere.

"I'll be on the hills supporting you lot with a sniper if you need. I'm won't be here always so I want to see how you lot handle a queen candidate. Naturally, Isilia will be there to assist but try to keep your help to a minimum if they can handle it ok?" Shiro smiled while glancing back at Isilia.

"Of course, kids won't grow if we keep sheltering them." Isilia chuckled

"Madi, Lyrica, I'll let you two decide the battle plan and where I should drop you off. After all, this is Madi's debut as a queen candidate." Shiro smiled.

Nodding her head, Madison glanced at the map.

"Like Shiro said before, we'll strike hard and fast. We'll split our party into two groups and hit both of the main watch towers first before claiming the fortress. Me, Aarim, Helion and Lisandra will be responsible for the left tower while Lyrica, Silvia, Chen Yu, Yin and Miss Isilia will be responsible for the right side. Keep damage to a minimum since we might want to use these towers in the future and we'll reconverge towards the fortress. When we get to the fortress, Aarim will focus on restraining everyone with gravity magic since we want to capture them rather than kill.

"Whoever gets the tower first till assist the other team in getting theirs so that we save time. And naturally, we got Shiro giving us ranged support. Do you have any bullets that can restrain them rather than kill them?" Madison asked since their goal was to capture this land and not kill all of the guards.

"Yeah don't worry, leave that to me." Shiro waved her hand with a smile since she had plenty of bullet blueprints for this kind of task. She had bullets that could split into a net and she hads bullets that knock people unconscious.

"You can probably drop us off around a kilometre away from the towers and we'll deal with it from there." Madison said as Shiro nodded her head.

Stopping the car a kilometre away, Shiro watched as the party and Akog make their way towards the tower.

Snapping her finger, she created a sniper and found herself a good spot on the hill.

Laying down, she could see Madison giving a few final orders before the two teams dashed towards the towers.

###

Dashing towards the right tower, Lyrica was a little nervous since her mum was here with her now. As the successor of the blade saintess class, she didn't want to disappoint her.

Looking at the two, she could see three guards at the top who hadn't noticed them just yet.

"Relax yourself dear. You're too tense. The blade saintess needs to flow through battle like a stream of water. Find an opening in every gap that you can see and strike before they even notice it." Isilia chuckled seeing her daughter tense up so much.

"Mn." Nodding her head, Lyrica took a deep breath and tried to relax but unfortunately, she wasn't able to at all since her mother was beside her.

"If you're nervous about me being here, don't worry, I'll cover you. It's ok if you mess up once or twice since I have messed up much more than you have. Every time, Shiro would cover my mistakes and watch my back." Isilia smiled at the fond memory.

Hearing this, Lyrica was able to relax slightly however, it was much better than before.

Summoning two blades, she glanced towards Chen Yu, Silvia and Yin. Nodding her head, she signalled them to behind.

Twirling her staff, Silvia slammed it against the ground as two tier 5 magic circles wrapped round each of them.

Giving everyone a buff of speed and power, Chen Yu made a seal with his hands as shadows wrapped around him and he disappeared from the spot.

With the boost in speed and power, Lyrica crouched down and dashed with her full strength.

*BANG!!!

Flickering forward, she reappeared in front of the guards that were stationed at the top of the tower.

Widening their eyes in shock, the guards reached out for their blade but Chen Yu appeared behind them and knocked them out in an instant. There was only one who barely dodged but Lyrica dealt with him quickly.

Seeing this, Isilia smiled softly. While her daughter was still a little tense around the edges, her potential was very high and with a bit of training, she could easily surpass her which brought her joy.
