"Chaos, huh?" Clovis was gnashing his teeth.
"That’s not the only problem. Thanks to him, we also know the potential attack." Vania opened the map for the province. There were a lot of blue colored blocks that signified a city, while the red ones were the fallen cities.
As Vania warned beforehand, most of the cities on the west and north had been destroyed. It seemed that they were also progressing to the east.
"Are they going to attack the south?" Clovis asked.
"No." Vania shook her head. "If you take a look at this map, from where do you think they will attack us?"
"Hmmm. The most obvious answers will be the west and the north. There are a lot of things happening on the east, so it’s chaotic there. On the other hand, the south feels like a trap."
"Indeed. Assuming that they’re attacking from the west and north, from where exactly do you think they will initiate the beast wave?"
Clovis fell silent.
"This…" Kanaria pointed to the west while placing the cups down.
"Kanaria?" Clovis raised his eyebrows before realizing the reason. "Supply routes?"
"Yes. Assuming that the attack won’t happen soon, the first thing they will do is disrupt the supply." Kanaria nodded. "If we take a look closely, there will be two cities that are extremely important. Willowing and Green Hill Cities."
"As expected of my daughter." Vania smiled. "According to the information, Willowing City is currently experiencing problems. I’ve talked with Jay’s father about sending reinforcements to Green Hill City so that it won’t get fully disrupted.
"And we have agreed to actually send you to Willowing City to relieve them of the problem."
"Willowing City? Won’t it be dangerous?" Clovis frowned. This was a rather bold move.
"It might be. That’s why it won’t be right now. From what I’ve heard, you’re planning to have another trip to get the super injection, right?"
"Yes."
"I want you to take another two weeks to do a casual hunt. After that, you are to change your direction to Willowing City."
"I see. You’re visiting us right now, so they think you’re cooking something. However, it might look like a false alarm since we’re not doing anything special."
Vania nodded. "Indeed. We’ll prepare the mission as well so that they won’t be suspicious."
"But by cutting their plan like this, there’s a high chance that they will move up their schedule."
"Indeed. At this point, it might happen sooner… maybe in about one and a half months from now. You wanted me to push their schedule ahead, right? Sadly, this is the impact."
"I see. In those one and a half months, we have to reach Tier 3."
"Yeah. The Renvolt and Havenson families will take care of their Tier 6s. However, if they come to attack you, we doubt it will be possible for us to send any reinforcement. Even if we manage to stop all their Tier 6s, you will be targeted by their Tier 5s."
"Multiple Tier 5s, huh?" Clovis frowned. On the one hand, he had no doubt that his group could somehow take down a single Tier 5 human, let alone when Erwin became a Tier 4 human and they became Tier 3.

However, after seeing the gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5, Clovis knew for sure that it would be hard to fight a few Tier 5 humans.
It seemed that he had to bet his chance on Another World Mall to find a way to solve this problem.
"I see." Clovis closed his eyes for a moment. "Not only multiple Tier 5s, but also the beasts, huh?"
"Indeed. Can you do it?"
"I will make sure we’ll win." Clovis nodded.
Vania smiled. "Alright. If you are that confident, I will trust you. However, be careful out there. Considering they’re going to be pretty busy gathering those beasts to trap you, those assassins you worry about won’t come at you."
"By the way, what are they currently doing?"
"The Drake Group? Nothing. The Rusth family is also silent for the time being."
"Doesn’t it feel suspicious?"
"Yeah. But the problem is that we can’t find anything right now." Vania shook her head. "I’ll continue digging up here and there, but I can’t promise you anything."
Clovis nodded. "Alright."
"You are smart, so I don’t think I need to give you an order. By giving you the freedom to make choices, you should be able to make a better decision." Vania raised two fingers. "However, I want you to remember two things.
"First, the Rusth family is going to do everything they have to stop you. After all, they know that their family will fall if they let you grow. The typical situation where our family can suppress them once the Libation Fiesta grows… That type of stuff.
"Secondly, don’t go to the south since it might be a trap. For now, we would like to make them think that I’m warning you about this."
"I understand." Clovis nodded before lowering his head. "I apologize that everything happens because of me. If not for my identity, this province won’t face so much chaos."
"You don’t have to worry about that. Even if you are not here, they’re always trying to mess with us." Vania shrugged. "If you’re feeling guilty for the innocent people that have died because of the beast wave, you also don’t need to think about that. The beasts are the common enemies. Nothing is going to change that. Get stronger as quickly as possible.
This is the only way to solve that problem."
Clovis smiled wryly. "I know."
"Since I’ve finished my business, I’m going to take my leave now."
Vania managed to maintain her seriousness until she exited the house.
"Take care, both of you. The next one and a half months will be chaotic."
"Yes." Clovis nodded.
"By the way, do you use protection? If not, I—"
"Bye Aunty." Clovis closed the door, ignoring her words. He turned around, saw Kanaria’s wry smile, and changed the topic. "Alright. Time to make preparations for the next destination."
