Viu sighed relieved still at the entrance to his district with Meili. It was very happy that he announced to his daughter.

- Petergeuse is dead, Meili. We can teleport to Roswaal Manor. The village does not need to be evacuated.

Meili's face broke into a smile as her father's words sank in. The news of Petelgeuse's demise brought a wave of relief and joy to her young features.

- Papa, really? she asked, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and disbelief. Is it true? The cultist is gone, and we don't need to flee the village?

- Yes, it's the truth.

Meili's smile widened even further, her eyes sparkling with a renewed happiness. Her father's confirmation erased any doubts and fears she may have had.

- That's incredible, she exclaimed, a note of exhilaration in her voice. No more running, no more hiding. We can finally feel safe.

- However, there are still two Sin Archbishops left in the area. Reali and Iluso monitor the area.

Meili's expression sobered a little as her father mentioned the remaining two Sin Archbishops still lurking in the vicinity. Her mind, still somewhat innocent, still struggled to fully grasp the gravity of the situation.

- Two more dangerous people... she murmured, her voice tinged with a hint of worry. But you said Reali and Iluso will watch over them, right?

- Exactly, however if Regulus is in a difficult state to beat because of his power, the most dangerous currently remains Lye Batenkaitos. If he knows your name he can steal it and your memories as a bonus.

Meili frowned slightly, her young mind processing the information her father had just shared about Lye Batenkaitos.

- Lye can do that? She asked, a hint of worry and disbelief in her voice. He can make people lose their names and memories? That's terrifying.

- And he's the one who controls the White Whale. So, we must first bring together the 4 alliances to kill the Hakugei, then lure Lye to an isolated place without Regulus noticing so that a person must confront him. And so kill Lye and kill the White Whale on two fronts.

Meili listened intently to her father's words, her eyes wide with a mixture of awe and fear. The mention of Lye's connection to the White Whale, one of the most feared and powerful monsters in this world, caused her heart to skip a beat.

- So we need all four alliances to kill the White Whale first, she echoed, her voice a little shaky. And then trick Lye into being separated from Regulus so we can fight him one on one?

- Exactly. Fortunately, we can send them the information via a message in their communitor

After sending the plan via the communitor, a sense of anticipation hung in the air as they waited for a response from the other camps. Meili fidgeted slightly, her eyes darting back and forth as she wondered how the teams would react and if the plan seemed feasible to them.

After a few moments of waiting, a response came though their communal communicators. The reactions from the other camps were mixed, but the consensus seemed to be that the plan held potential, albeit with its fair share of risks.

- To retain Regulus, only Reinhard among us can, and I am one of the only ones intelligent enough not to give him my real name. Julius too but I think he knows him if he watched the fight against Petergeuse. The same goes for Iluso and Reali. So I face Lye, Reinhard will face Regulus, Meili you protect the village and the manor and everything else will fight under the command of Crusch already apart from the soldiers that Crusch has gathered, there is my militia, Rem and the White Fang, Felt, Rom, Chin, Ton, and Kan, Reinhard's presence is more than enough for you not to participate.
