Sally, who had eaten a chicken thigh, couldn’t say no to everyone’s enthusiasm and went into the restaurant.

  Then, her gaze landed on Irina, who was sitting in front of the table, and halted her footsteps. Sally looked surprised and slightly awkward.

  Camilla looked at both of them with a weird expression.

  Babla and Connie’s expressions were similar too. They knew their identities and it was indeed a little awkward for them to meet in a situation like this.

  “I’ll add a seat for you.” Irina took out a folding chair and put it at a place that was slightly more spacious.

  “Thank you.” Sally nodded. She looked relaxed immediately and she sat down on the folding chair gracefully.

  “Big Sister Aisha.” Anna came over and looked at Sally happily.

  Sally patted Anna’s head and said with a smile, “Little Anna has grown taller too.”


  “I still haven’t thanked you for the previous incident.” Shirley sat next to Sally and sincerely said to her, “Thank you.”


  “You’re welcome.” Sally nodded. Looking at Shirley, Sally opened her mouth but she didn’t say anything. “This is Aisha, the restaurant’s second employee and also the restaurant’s second customer.” Mag introduced Sally to the employees that were hired after she left and also introduced them to Sally.

  In Mamy Restaurant, she was still Aisha. At least, she was tonight.

  “They are indeed women who can become princesses. They’re all not simple.”


  Camilla was secretly amazed by these two women’s generosity. They could actually put down their feud and sit down for a meal together.

  This feast lasted until midnight and only ended after all the kebabs were devoured.

  Mag stood at the door and watched them leave. With a smile, he said, “I hope all of you will have a bright future and you can be happy and blissful too. No matter where you are, or who you become, Mamy Restaurant will always be here and its door will always be open for you.”


  The ladies looked at him, and they all smiled.

  All the smiling faces shone brighter than the starry sky. They even looked prettier too.

  Mag stood at the door and watched the ladies leave.

  “Seems like you are really well-liked by the ladies.” Irina’s voice sounded from behind him.

  Mag turned around and sighed gently. “If you’re talking about my culinary skills, then I’ll admit that it is indeed an inconcealable talent.”


  “What if I said it’s your mouth?”


  Mag frowned and shook his head as he said, “That is a little unreasonable. Apart from you, no one else would know that I’m very good with my mouth.”


  Irina was stunned and then she suddenly realized something. She blushed, slapped him across his chest and said with a pout, “Smooth-tongued.”


  “That’s a very apt description.” Mag nodded and closed the door.

  ***

  This was a farewell dinner for those that were going to the battle, including Mag himself.

  This was a war that was beyond Mag’s control. They would have to face the powerful Cthulhu and Rankster and the Army of the Dead that was under his control.

  Many people would die in this war and no one could guarantee who they would be.

  Connie would bring the orcs’ legion to the north personally. Camilla was also among the vampires’ fighting forces. Babla would follow her master to the frontline to set up the seal spell formation. Shirley had already applied to join the Night Elves’ combat forces. Gina would go into battle with Lantisde and Sally would also go into battle with the elves’ legion.

  Mag would fight alongside them. But this time, he wouldn’t use the identity of their boss.

  How amazing this situation was. When he first came to this world, Mag was only thinking about how to survive in this damned world with Amy, with his wretched body.

  But now, he was going to save this world together with his companions from the restaurant.

  “Are you confident?” Irina looked at Mag, who was daydreaming next to the window and asked him softly from behind.

  Mag turned around and smiled at Irina. “I’ve promised to make the Manchu Han Imperial Feast for Little Amy, but I’m still far from making it.”


  “What about me?”


  Mag reached out and hugged her waist gently. “I think Little Amy is old enough now. Let’s give her a little brother or a little sister when we return.”


  Irina blushed with a mild anger. She looked up into his affectionate and tender eyes and her heart trembled. She nodded with an unexplainable emotion.

  “You look like you have had a good rest.” Helena’s voice came from the room with the open door as soon as Sally returned to the city lord’s castle’s yard, which the elven delegation was staying in.

  The expression on Sally’s face faded away. After a brief hesitation, she still walked into Helena’s room.

  Helena looked at her and got straight to the point. “Do you want to stay in the forest or go to the north?”


  “To the north,” Sally replied without any hesitation.

  “I need someone to take care of the rear.”


  “That someone cannot be me.”


  “Great. Your father wouldn’t have ended up like this if he had half of your courage.” Helena nodded with satisfaction.

  Sally was silent. She didn’t want to be reminded of that man.

  Alex looked at Dominic who was sitting across from him and gravely said, “Alex chose you as his assistant, so he will definitely ask you about the battle techniques. You have preserved the Roth Empire’s power as much as you can. ‘People of a different race can not be trusted.’ This is an ancient saying.”


  After a moment of silence, Dominic nodded and said, “Your Majesty’s wish is my command.”


  Andre was also quiet for a long time before he said, “If you meet Josh on the battlefield, kill him. Don’t let him live.”


  “Your Majesty…” Dominic was shocked, but he quickly nodded. “Yes.”


  ***

  Early the next morning, Mag came to the city lord’s castle and met up with Dominic.

  Just as Mag expected, the Roth Empire had already prepared two sets of war plans for the north before the meeting.

  One war plan was for the Roth Empire to fight the war alone if the negotiation failed and the other was a detailed coordination of military operations and tactical plans after all the races united their efforts.

  The Roth Empire had very detailed information about the iceplain at the extreme north, including a recently drawn topographic map with every mountain and ravine marked out carefully.

  Mag read through the detailed tactics carefully before putting it down.

  “You and I both know very well that this isn’t the best plan.” Mag looked at Dominic and shook his head in disappointment.

  Dominic was silent. Then, he nodded. “This is the plan that we have prepared.”


  “Marshal, you’re not good at lying.” Mag chuckled. “This is the plan that you’ve just changed last night, right? To prevent the loss of the Roth Empire’s cavalry, many loopholes are added in. Loopholes that are fatal to the allied forces.”


  Dominic’s expression froze on his face.

  “I’m very disappointed.” Mag shook his head. “You should know very well that you’re no longer the Roth Empire’s marshal when you wrote this plan. You are the marshal of the entire allied forces. No matter which race they come from, they are all your soldiers now. They’re all fighting for this world.”
