Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 111: Gathering Four Big Families

Colonel Aidan and four of his subordinates were chosen as the support team. On their way to the northern region of Framingburns forest, they met Lieutenant Lewis.

Colonel Aidan and his subordinates widened their eyes in shock when Lieutenant Lewis shared the information with them.

They knew a war with magical beasts was coming, but they didn’t expect that they would attack them so soon.

After telling them the location of General Georgia and the others, Lieutenant Lewis rushed to Nightshire City.

Several hours later, Lieutenant Lewis reached the city guard headquarters. He wasted no time and went straight to Scarlett’s office.

"This is the information we’ve gathered so far, city mistress." Lieutenant Lewis, who was standing before Scarlett, said, "General Georgia and the others remain at their base camp. They continue working to uncover more intelligence about our enemies."

"Lieutenant Lewis, I want you to go to the four big families." Scarlett commanded, "Tell them to meet me at the conference hall in thirty minutes."

"Understood, city mistress." After saying that, Lieutenant Lewis walked out of her office.

Wuzil Region, Conference Building.

"Magical beasts are going to attack us?!" a red-haired man widened his eyes in surprise after hearing Lieutenant Lewis’ explanation.

His name was Zayne Albert, the head of the Albert family.

Scarlett remained silent as she observed their reactions. She didn’t hold a meeting to ask for their assistance because this was a test of their loyalty.

If they were willing to fight magical beasts with her, she would let them continue living in her city, but if they refused, she would kick them out of her city right after the meeting.

They had enjoyed countless benefits as citizens of her city.

They even earned wealth and influence through trade and business under her protection.

If their loyalty faltered after hearing the city was in danger, Scarlett saw no reason to allow them to continue enjoying the privileges of Nightshire City because that meant they were the same as parasites.

"City mistress, the Fraser family is willing to defend the city with you." A blue-haired man, who looked to be in his forties, spoke.

The name of the grown man was Aidan Fraser, the head of the Fraser family.

"That’s right, city mistress." A gorgeous lady added. "Nightshire City is our hometown. We will defend this city with you until our last blood."

The mature lady had long green hair and brown eyes.

Her name was Sophia Fraser, Aidan’s wife.

Like her husband, she was willing to die for the sake of protecting their city.

There were so many beautiful memories in Nightshire City, so she would protect it no matter what.

"The Walsh family is also willing to defend the city with city mistress." A black-haired man stated.

His name was Evan Walsh, the head of the Wals family.

"The Albert family is also not afraid of death. We were born in this city, so we will live and die with Nightshire City." A beautiful lady named Raina Albert declared.

Raina was Zayne’s wife.

Even though the possibility of her dying on the battlefield was high, there was no sign of fear in her eyes because Nightshire City was her hometown. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"The Cardenas family will fight the magical beasts with the city mistress to the last drop of blood." Lexie didn’t call Scarlett ’sister’ like she usually did because they were in a formal meeting.

Scarlett’s lips curled up into a tiny smile because she was deeply pleased by their unanimous declarations of loyalty.

"City mistress, when are you going to tell the other citizens about this?" a black-haired lady asked.

The name of the mature lady was Heidi Walsh, Evan’s wife.

"I will make the announcement tomorrow morning." The sun was about to set, so Scarlett thought it was not a good time to deliver big news.

The room fell silent as the weight of the coming war hung in the air.

Scarlett knew the upcoming war would decide their fate, but for now, she was comforted by the loyalty and resolve of her city’s most powerful families.

"Alright. The meeting is over. You can go home and prepare for the war." Scarlett held a meeting because she wanted to share information with them and see their response.

Now that she had heard their answers, there was no need to continue the meeting.

"Then, we will take our leave, city mistress." Zayne and the others responded in unison.

After they walked out of the meeting hall, Lexie approached Scarlett.

"Sister Scarlett, please remember that you are not alone. The other residents and I will always support you, so don’t carry the burden alone." Lexie could feel the weight on Scarlett’s shoulders.

Even though Scarlett looked calm and composed, Lexie knew she was restless and uneasy because the lives of her people rested on her shoulders.

"Thank you for the reminder, sister Lexie," Scarlett said as she smiled.

At this moment, Lieutenant Lewis was shocked.

He knew Scarlett had a good relationship with Lexie, but it was his first time hearing them address each other as sisters.

Of course, he did not show it on his face and kept standing straight because he needed to maintain his professionalism.

"Sister Lexie, I have to go back to my office now." Scarlett still had a lot of work to do, so she couldn’t keep talking to Lexie.

"Don’t overwork yourself. Remember, you are our lord." Lexie said gently.

"Un." Scarlett nodded her head.

After that, they left the meeting hall.

Next Day, Morning.

The situation in Nightshire City was the same as usual. Many people worked hard while the rest spent time with their families or friends.

Some of them even joked and laughed happily as if they had no problems in their lives.

However, the happy moment changed when the sound of the bell ringing three times echoed throughout the city.

They immediately left their homes and businesses after hearing the bell.

Be it young people or old people, rich people or poor people, they all went straight to the city square.

Even people from the big families stopped their activities because the sound of the bell indicated that Scarlett would deliver important news.

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know."

"Why did the bell ring three times? Are we going to face a big problem?"

"I’m also curious about it."

"I hope nothing bad will happen in our city."

"Hopefully."

A whirlwind of chatter broke out because their city mistress used the bell to gather everyone.

The level of importance of the announcement was indicated by the number of bells rung.

Since the bell rang three times, that meant Scarlett would deliver an announcement that related to the future of their city and their lives.

This was the reason why some of them were nervous because their lives would be in danger if it was bad news.

"Husband, do you think the city mistress will deliver good news or bad news?" a woman, around thirty-six years old, asked.

Anyone who saw her would know right away that she was anxious because it was written on her face.

"I don’t know." Her husband answered as he shook his head, "But I hope it’s good news."

"Hopefully." The lady responded.
