My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 470 Roland is back?!

When Kalia saw Roland, she didn't even recognize him at first glance.

Although Roland's appearance and even his clothes had not changed, his demeanor was as if he had become a completely different person.

Not only Kalia, but everyone present who knew Roland was shocked by the tremendous changes that had taken place in him.

Well... actually, the changes aren't that significant.

If I had to use an analogy, Roland's aura and the feeling he exuded before were easygoing and relaxed.

Roland now exudes exhaustion and a sense of alienation that keeps people at arm's length.

Faced with this abrupt change, no one even dared to be the first to speak out.

In the silence, Roland walked to an empty recliner in the room, sat down, and almost immediately began snoring.

Then, Elena, who had come with Roland, began to explain.

"Don't worry, Lord Roland is just tired and needs to rest. Please prepare some food for him so he can eat as soon as he wakes up."

"Please don't be alarmed. Lord Roland should be fine after a good night's sleep."

Having already met Elena once, and having become quite familiar with Elena, Polycia calmed down considerably after hearing the other party's explanation.

Kalia walked over to Roland, who had fallen asleep at lightning speed, bent down, and poked Roland's face with her index finger.

Seeing that Roland really didn't react at all, he frowned slightly and asked with some concern, "What on earth has this guy been up to?"

"How come you're so tired after just two days?"

Elena sighed softly: "That was a trial... As for what exactly happened on the land of Roland, only he knows."

"Moreover, the flow of time in the underworld is different from that in the real world. What you perceive as two days is several years in the underworld."

"Fortunately, Lord Roland passed the test."

After Elena finished speaking, she looked at Kalia and said softly, "So... please let him get some rest. Even if it's just a short nap."

As she spoke, Elena kept staring at Kalia's finger that was poking Roland's cheek.

Kalia withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly, and then said, "I'll go tell the Demon King and the wicked woman first."

"They're still planning their next move."

"The demons' plan is to gather their elite forces and launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Hetland to directly eliminate the source of the anomaly."

"I was initially worried about the dangers caused by insufficient forces left behind, but now that Roland is back, things are much simpler."

Even the usually silent Little Grey nodded: "Yeah, it's definitely much easier now that this guy's back."

Frum, who was watching the scene unfold, also said, "Even if Roland doesn't come back, it's not something to worry about too much."

"Lia and the demon elites working together are enough to resolve the situation."

"With the special device developed by the Academy, Little Gray can amplify its power and play a preventative role, not to mention the Dragon Clan's chief guard."

"Although he has returned to Dragon Island, which is docked in Isfar, to report on his duties, his main purpose is to seek reinforcements."

"Not to mention dragons, elves are also willing to cooperate with humans, with the goal of resolving the dangers on the continent before the disaster on the sea breaks out."

"However... it's always good that you came back safely."

As she spoke, Furam sighed, resting her head on her hand: "Returning from the underworld, and more than once... these kinds of stories will probably just be seen as legends in a few decades."

"Apart from the person involved, most people would probably think it's a made-up story."

Kalia waved her hand: "Alright, alright, this is still in the planning stage, no need to dream about the future, right?"

"You two keep an eye on Roland, I'm going to talk to them about something."

Kalia said this and walked out of the room.

Arriving at the long corridor of this temporarily requisitioned noble mansion, I finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.

She wasn't nearly as relaxed as she appeared...

How could she not be worried about Roland's situation?
No matter how much you trust this guy's abilities, it's the same. This feeling is even stronger after seeing Roland return from the Underworld looking so exhausted.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

At least for now, everything is going smoothly across the entire continent.

Whether it's the construction of the learning's energy supply and space transmission networks, or the mobilization of the Empire's military forces and weapons production.

Even the Vatican's pursuit of cultists and the Demon Royal Court's advance against the Demon rebel forces were proceeding steadily.

Kalia's gaze fell upon the sparse snow and wind outside the French windows.

Even though winters are long in the North, snowfall decreases by March.

It's rare to see snow so heavy that you can't even see the road ahead.

Meanwhile, outside the Seekert frontline outpost built on the border of Hetland, a perpetual fog that seemed to swallow up all light and sight was always present.

A grayish-white mist obscured everything, only disturbing parts of the mist when the eerie, puppet-like entities within it moved.

However, the frontline troops responded to this in a simple and brutal manner.

Raise the shields, activate the stabilizers, and then bombard them with all kinds of long-range firepower.

The entity will not leave the fog, but it will continuously expand the fog's range.

Therefore, the garrison at the outpost cannot simply ignore the entity just because it will not launch an attack on them. This is the conclusion drawn by various forces after summarizing their experiences and based on the intelligence provided by the demons since the start of the Fog Disaster.

The boundaries must be repaired and the entities must be eliminated in order to dispel the fog disaster.

Of course, if she and Little Grey were to help, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

At least within the Empire, the intensity of the mist disaster was no match for the power contamination from the two of them.

Even those within Prattia couldn't hold on.

On the contrary, now... ever since we entered the Kingdom of Hetland, the intensity of the fog has become something that cannot be easily overcome.

This is why we chose to establish an outpost here, and then proceed with preparations before moving forward.

but now……

"Seriously... this guy always makes people feel at ease."

With that thought in mind, Kalia quickly walked to the door of the conference room, then pushed it open and went inside.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, Iluvia and the Demon King had just finished their conversation with Salah III.

"That's how it is. Please pass on the message."

Salah III smiled and nodded, then ended the communication.

Just then, Kalia walked into the conference room.

Iluvia was somewhat surprised by this.

"Lia, what brings you here? What happened?"

The Demon King also turned his gaze toward them.

They both knew very well that Kalia wasn't the type to enjoy boring places like meeting rooms.

Could something have happened? Or are you just hungry again?
Kalia nodded: "Yes. Something big has happened. Roland is back."

Iluvia frowned slightly. "Oh... Roland is back. That's certainly a big deal."

"..."

"..."

"Roland is back?!"
