What happens next basically has nothing to do with Reiger.

Whether it’s the process of forming an alliance or the discussion about going to war, these are not matters Reiger needs to worry about.

Just like when he was with the Loki Familia, although Reiger participated in strategy meetings between leaders and executives, the ones who truly decided the details of the operations were Finn, Revilia, Grace, and others, not him.

Therefore, now that Noconalay has decided to form an alliance with the Round Table, Reiger no longer has a need to be involved in the subsequent matters.

He only needs to wait for the discussion to end and for someone to tell him when the war is actually starting, and that will be enough.

And these matters are naturally for Da Vinci, Matthew, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Noconalay to discuss.

The Round Table has already given them the decision-making power in this regard, so as long as they agree on a result with Noconalay, they can simply bring it back to Londinion.

Thus, Reiger quietly left the cathedral, without being involved in the subsequent discussions.

To his surprise, Altoria also left the cathedral.

"Why did you come out?"

Reiger asked in surprise as he watched Altoria follow him out.

"...I’m not good at those things."

Altoria sighed and gave her reason.

"You mean planning the operations?" Reiger nodded, matter-of-factly saying: "Indeed, you’re not cut out for that."

"...Although it’s true, the way you say it makes me feel looked down upon."

Altoria wanted to knock Reiger on the head with her chosen staff, yet even she could imagine that doing so would be more trouble than it’s worth.

After decisively giving up on this worthless action, Altoria sighed silently again.

"Noconalay has already agreed to the alliance. It seems the war is really about to start."

Altoria murmured as she watched the twilight over Britain.

"This is also the last war in Britain." Reiger said expressionlessly: "After this, there will be no more slaughter in Britain, let alone war."

Because, once this war ends, Britain will be destroyed.

"Does it feel unbearable?" Reiger said suddenly, as if testing Altoria: "If you can’t bear it, you don’t have to participate."

While it sounded like he was probing, Altoria, with her [Fairy Eyes], could tell that Reiger was serious about what he said.

In other words, he truly felt that if she found it unbearable, she could choose not to participate in this war.

"I am the child of prophecy, you know." Altoria said, as if convincing herself: "Without me, how could you win?"

It’s not an exaggeration.

Having already rung five Pilgrimage Bells, although Altoria had not made major advances in magic prowess, still only managing to cause some explosions and set traps like before, essentially not being a remarkable magician like Morgan, her explosive growth in Magic Power made it possible for her to fully unleash her Enchantment, transforming the strength of an entire army.

Her Enchantment is a trump card the Round Table cannot lose, and with it, the weaker humans of the Round Table can contend against stronger fairies like the Tusk Clan.

Should this Enchantment be applied to the already powerful Tusk Clan, it would enhance strength further, enough to overturn the power disparity between the Queen’s army and the allied forces of the Round Table and the Tusk Clan.

Plus, as the child of prophecy, she has the legitimacy to seize the throne. Only with Altoria present will their own side’s combat strength and morale be significantly boosted.

If they lose her, their chances of victory would be at least halved.

Of course, this is assuming Reiger does not intervene.

"While I may not be able to handle Morgan, I can handle the others just fine." Reiger said lightly: "If you want, I can easily compensate for the impact caused by you leaving the frontline."

That’s how it is.

Lacking combat strength?

Though Reiger cannot perform Enchantment, he has plenty of methods to amplify and strengthen his own forces, completely capable of replacing Altoria’s Enchantment.

Lacking manpower?

Though unfamiliar with Chaldea’s Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique, his own summoning methods are quite effective, capable of replenishing their army’s forces at any moment.

As for lacking morale?

That’s not an issue at all.

Even if Reiger can’t boost the army’s morale, with Noconalay and Pasival around, he believes these two would never let their side lose morale.

One is the Fairy Queen ruling the North, and the other is the counterpart of a knight deemed perfect in the Arthurian legends. They have long stood as supporting pillars for the Tusk Clan and the Round Table army. Their capability in this aspect isn’t in question.

Hence, Reiger genuinely felt that if Altoria didn’t wish to, she shouldn’t join the battle.

The war is one in which she need not participate.

"As I said before, you have the right to decide what you want to do."

Reiger turned and looked at Altoria, speaking earnestly.

"Even Morgan can abandon the mission of the Paradise Fairy for her wish, so why can’t you?"
