The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Chapter 148 - Planning(4)



* slam *

Seeing that Shelty had entered the underground, Laura immediately closed the underground door without looking any further.

Annie was surprised; she didn't think that Laura could be this cruel.

"What?" when Laura wanted to cast a spell, she felt Annie staring at her strangely.

"Nothing, you can continue ..." Annie stepped away from Laura to give her some space.

After seeing Annie moved away, Laura then stretched out her hand and touched the underground door.

She muttered while chanting a spell.

"Basic Spell: Silent"

Unlike Desmond, she is not penalized because she was a 1st  class Witch.

A gust of wind gathered at the door; the wind then entered through the door and then disappeared without a trace.

"Haah, done. Let's go back." Laura sighed and glanced at Annie.

Annie followed Laura, but before that, she glanced back at the underground door.

Back to the situation in the dining room.

After the maids cleaned the entire room, Desmond and the remaining people sit back down.

"Good, I hope the previous incident does not happen again." Vesta opened his mouth. He glanced at everyone who was staring back at him.

After the chaos, from a total of 5 mercenaries within 18 people, now only 8 are left from 2 well-known mercenaries.

Ray, who is the representative at this meeting as well as the leader of the mercenaries Corps of Teleknights, acted indifferent to Vesta's warning.

Ray has white hair with a short, messy hairstyle. He was also wearing armor that looked really expensive. With his strength equal to that of Vesta, it was only natural for him not to take Vesta's words seriously.

In his opinion, with his polite attitude earlier, it was already good for them that himself not to cause trouble, not like the low-class mercenaries.

Meanwhile, Veronica, as the representative for this meeting and the leader of the female mercenaries of the Steel Legion, smiled at this.

Unlike Ray, Veronica doesn't seem arrogant and loves to interact with people, even though the three of them are arguably equal.

Desmond had a good impression of her because she and her guild were the ones who protected Alice in her journey.

"Okay, then let's get started." Maids came and immediately put the teacups in front of the members.

On the other hand, Vesta summoned his men who were carrying a giant scroll, "This is a rough outline of the map of the northern kingdom." Vesta spoke seriously because spreading the map to the enemy was tantamount to exposing their own weaknesses.

No one was surprised to hear this; even after Desmond's maids served tea, they immediately walked out of the room and went as far as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Interesting ...

Only Desmond the person who was excited while looking at this map. For 10 years, he was practically trapped in this city without being able to get out.

This made the map progress in his system stagnant, even though he had bought several other maps from guilds or merchants, but it seemed the system didn't accept such lowly items.

Seeing everyone's calm reaction, Vesta nodded in satisfaction. He then placed the map on the table and spread it out widely.

On that map, there are two major cities, namely the capital city of the North Kingdom and Helmfirth, the first human city that has managed to withstand the beast races' attacks in the past.

There are also several small villages located between the major cities.

"We have two routes to choose. First, " Vesta took a wooden stick with a blunt iron tip from the soldier beside him.

"The first road is we head to the northeast, where it will pass several small villages. I also have a duty in there which I need to places some of my soldiers to monitor those villages." Vesta moved his staff forward and stopped at the earth pile symbol.

"The problem is we have to cross the canyon to reach the city of Helmfirth." Vesta pulled out his wand, and a path suddenly formed and shone on the map.

He also paused for a moment to wait for an answer and observe people's expressions.

"Maybe this road is a bit difficult because we have to pass through dry forests, which are likely to cause fires this summer.

"But this route is pretty good because we don't have to spend a lot of time getting to the city of Helmfirth." 

Everyone was shocked when they saw the person who gave an opinion.

Ray, the leader of the Corps of Teleknights, who they thought, was arrogant and prideful, was now opening his mouth and explained the advantages and disadvantages of this path.

After finishing talking, Ray then realized that the atmosphere had become quiet. He lifted his head and saw that everyone was looking at him with a different meaning.

* clap * * clap *

"Good opinion Mr. Ray, as expect from a famous mercenary." Vesta clapped his hands while praising Ray.

"Hump" Ray looked away and slightly raised his head higher.

"Does anyone want to give an opinion again?" After saving the answer from Ray, Vesta asked again, observing the people in this room. "Miss Veronica?"

Seeing Veronica, who looked hesitant, Vesta immediately pointed at her. 

"Eh? Me? No, no." Veronica was shocked when she was chosen. She politely refused while slightly lowering her head, "Actually, I'm not good at this." She added in a low voice. 

"Too bad, then what is the opinion from the master witch?" Vesta looked straight at Leona, who seemed very calm.

"I don't mind, as long as this trip is safe for my son," Leona answered and looked back at Vesta.

Vesta became awkward looking at this, "Alright, let's move on to the second route." Vesta put his wooden stick back on the map and moved it towards the southwest.

"The second route is quite safe because we only need to pass through the guard fort, some forests, and the last one is a river to get straight to the city of Helmfirth.

"When compared to the first route, this second route is relatively safer, and also, my troops and I have more important tasks in this route." This time Vesta added his own opinion.

After he finished, Vesta pulled his wooden stick back, making a path formed on the map and shining continuously.

"So what do you think about this second route?" since only Ray could give him a satisfying answer, Vesta immediately glanced at him.

"What? Do you think I'm someone you can take advantage of?" Ray, who felt Vesta's gaze, immediately cursed him.

"I have an opinion." Before Vesta let out a disappointed sigh, he then heard a voice that makes him excited again. 

"In my opinion, we should choose this path. As the Guardian said, apart from being safe, this route also has tasks that must be completed immediately. " Veronica suddenly opened her mouth and gave an opinion in a high tone.

Meanwhile, when Desmond heard all these people's opinions, he felt irritated.

What the fuck with that arrogant young master's opinion! Forest fire? What a joke! Do you think we learned spells just for fun ?! He snapped inwardly. 

He then glanced at Vesta.

And look at this Guardian; he should be the one giving advice since he got a direct order from the king, right ?! Why does he seem to enjoy this and let us choose?

Even though Desmond's mind was in chaos, he was trying his best to contain his anger. This can be seen from his fist that was under the table.

When the other members heard this, they were rendered speechless.

Is she stupid? Not only did Veronica repeat Vesta's words, but she also shamelessly forced her opinion to choose this path.

She might also choose this route when escorting Alice; Desmond could immediately guess, even a fool would know when they saw Veronica's expression.

Her behavior, thoughts, and sexy body are completely inversely proportional! Desmond thought that Veronica would have the same traits as Clementine but much hotter.

"Thank you all for your opinion," Vesta smiled wryly when he heard Veronica's answer. He then announced, "I have planned it; with the king's approval, we will move on the first route."

This time, Vesta made everyone wonder, why he needed to open this discussion session and ask each other's opinion?

"Hehe, you must be -"

* slap *

"Ouch," before Vesta continued, he felt someone had hit his head.

"Dear, that's not funny." Clementine smiled at him. But to him, her smile not beautiful as seen; instead, it gives him a chilling aura and made him slightly cold shudder.

Clementine immediately apologized to the Desmond family and the mercenaries. "Please forgive my husband's behavior; he is indeed this kind of person. Since this discussion is over, let's prepare ourselves."

"Hahaha, it's okay. a little bit of a joke before leaving will get rid of the tension. " Bastian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and laughed forcefully.

He then glanced at Ray, whose face looked very red, and angrily stared at Vesta.
