Seraphina's hand found his again under the table, squeezing. "What did he say?"
Satou took a deep breath. "TheReaper was ordered by King Ferdinand and Pope Gregorius to participate in an attack on my settlement. Three thousand troops, four newly summoned heroes, siege weapons, a hundred-mage support unit, and Commander Elric Stonewall leading them. They're mobilizing for a full-scale assault."
"Fuck," Loki said simply, his usual playfulness completely gone. "That's... that's an army they'd normally reserve for attacking established demon lord territories, not a three-month-old settlement."
"They're afraid," Satou said. "I killed Vegeta. I'm growing too fast. They want to eliminate me before I become unstoppable, thats what Theereaper said in his message."
Seraphina's crimson eyes had gone cold and calculating. "That explains the force composition. But it doesn't explain why TheReaper would warn you. From everything we know, he's been humanity's loyal weapon for three centuries."
