"I'm afraid I don't have the energy to do anything else, so I'm truly sorry."
Invel Yura gently pushed up his glasses on his nose, then shook his head powerlessly.
Hmm, unlike Larcade, he didn't not want to help Medivh complete the mission…
It was just that he already had too many responsibilities, and he completely lacked the extra energy to do more.
Especially since Medivh had emphasized the importance of the mission on the Ishgar Continent, Invel Yura, to avoid making mistakes and disappointing Medivh, could only reluctantly give up this opportunity to serve Medivh to others.
It was truly not because Invel Yura believed that only by remaining in the Alvarez Empire, in front of Medivh, could he be better promoted.
"Hmm, Invel Yura doesn't need to go either. So, what about you guys?!"
Ultimately, Medivh was not an unreasonable person…
Once Invel Yura provided a sufficiently ample reason, he no longer insisted that Invel Yura must go to the Ishgar Continent to carry out the mission.
"This…"
For a moment, in the entire conference room…
Only Wahl Icht, Jacob Lessio, and Bradman, who truly had nothing to do, were left. They were now staring at each other, unsure what kind of excuses they could possibly give Medivh to shirk these tasks, which sounded deadly enough just by hearing about them?!
"Alright, since you three have nothing important to do."
"Then just listen to my arrangements."
"Wahl Icht, I remember you're an alchemist, right?!"
Medivh first looked at Wahl Icht, who was opening his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After being called out by Medivh, Wahl Icht couldn't say anything else. He could only brace himself, stand up from his seat, and nod to Medivh.
"Since you're an alchemist, that's perfect…"
"I remember there's also a guild on the North Continent Giltena called 'Golden Owl,' entirely composed of alchemists."
"Starting today, you will temporarily resign from your Spriggan 12 duties and go to the North Continent Giltena, primarily responsible for two things…"
"The first is to infiltrate the Alchemist Guild, gather intelligence on the North Continent for me, and continue to stir up trouble on the North Continent…"
"The second is to win over forces on that continent to fight for our Alvarez Empire. Everything is for our empire's grand unification of the Earth-land World."
Medivh spoke quickly, directly arranging everything clearly for Wahl Icht.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
Wahl Icht was a bit helpless. He smiled bitterly, then sat back down in his seat.
"Next, it's Jacob Lessio and Bradman…"
"Starting today, you two will come with me to the Ishgar Continent!"
"Speaking of which, Jacob and Bradman, both of your magic and abilities can hide your presence very well, which will perfectly complement my actions on the Ishgar Continent."
Medivh didn't give Jacob and Bradman a chance to say more, directly announcing their next assignments.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment…"
"Are you saying that you are also going to the Ishgar Continent?!"
After Medivh's words fell…
'Winter General' Invel Yura, who had originally thought himself clever and found a good excuse to stay in the Alvarez Empire, by Ian Berselion's side, instantly changed his expression…
He immediately stood up from his seat, looked at the throne where Medivh was, and asked with an incredibly shocked expression.
"Isn't that obvious?!"
Medivh looked at Invel Yura and said.
"Your Majesty, I actually thought about it carefully just now…"
"Suddenly, I realized that the burden on my shoulders doesn't seem so heavy anymore."
"To be honest, I have already found several very talented subordinates in the Empire's army; they will manage the Empire's finances and military supplies for me…"
"So, please allow me to accompany you to the Ishgar Continent to find Prince Kurnugi and subdue the various forces on that continent."
As Invel Yura spoke, he knelt on one knee before Medivh, in a posture that suggested he would give everything, even his life, for Medivh.
Hmm, the reason Invel Yura had previously tried to shirk the task Medivh had given him was precisely because he wanted to stay with Medivh, who was the Emperor of the Alvarez Empire, wasn't it?!
Who would have thought that Medivh, as the Emperor of the Empire, would also be going to the Ishgar Continent?!
This immediately made Invel Yura unable to sit still.
"Heh heh…"
"You don't need to worry about that for now."
"Everything will proceed as I arranged before; that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Medivh looked at Invel Yura in front of him and chuckled softly.
"This…"
"I, I understand."
After Invel Yura received Medivh's clear answer, he had no choice but to sit back down in his seat, but his expression at this moment was one of deep regret.
"Alright, the tasks have been assigned."
"Then, this meeting of the Alvarez Empire's Spriggan 12 is hereby concluded."
"Gentlemen, dismissed."
Medivh said, rising directly from the throne and announcing the end of the meeting.
Once Medivh finished speaking, he was the first to leave the Spriggan 12 meeting room.
Then came Irene, Selene, and Elefseria, Zeref, and others.
After the Emperor of the Empire and the Regents successively left the meeting room.
"Damn it!"
Invel Yura finally stood up from his seat, messing up his neat blue hair, and loudly declared, "Damn it, this isn't real! How could His Majesty leave me in the Alvarez Empire?!"
"Inber, you outsmarted yourself, didn't you?!"
Jacob Lessio, who had initially been briefly saddened upon hearing that he was to be dispatched by Medivh to the Ishgar Continent for a mission, clearly being marginalized in terms of power, was now no longer sad.
As a result, upon hearing that Medivh would accompany them to the Ishgar Continent, he immediately stopped being sad; he was as excited as if he had been injected with a stimulant.
"Don't be too smug, Jacob…"
"Heh heh, just open your eyes and watch carefully!"
"Even if I stay in the Alvarez Empire, I will still prove to His Majesty the Emperor that I am the one most worthy of His Majesty's trust."
Invel Yura clenched his fists, speaking angrily.
"I'll be waiting."
Jacob smiled smugly, saying coldly.
"Hey! You two…"
"If you are truly intending to swear allegiance to the Emperor of the Alvarez Empire, perhaps you have sworn allegiance to the wrong person entirely…"
"I can tell you clearly that His Majesty Zeref is the true Emperor of the Alvarez Empire; His Majesty Zeref is the true Emperor Spriggan."
"As for Ian Berselion, who claims to be His Majesty the Emperor, he is merely a puppet chosen by Irene and August."
At this moment, Larcade, a staunch loyalist of Zeref, appeared beside Invel Yura and Jacob Lessio at some unknown time, and he looked at the two people in front of him, speaking in a cold voice.
"Larcade, you seem to have misunderstood something…"
After Invel Yura heard what Larcade said, he suddenly chuckled disdainfully.
"Hmm?!"
