All the Gods of War, regardless of whether they were from Aploth or Adrune, lauded Nathan.
Bitterness rose in Wolfric's heart at the sight of that. Nevertheless, since Nathan prioritized the interests of the affected citizens and had declined to vie for the position of commander-in-chief, naturally, it went to Wolfric.
Hence, Eugene IV announced that Wolfric, the War God of Ariarica, would be the commander-in-chief of the alliance between the hundred nations.
Following that, they selected three deputy commanders. Predictably, the positions went to Nathan, Leopold, and Eugene IV.
Once the lineup of commanders was complete, they quickly moved on to the next stage of deploying their forces.
After careful deliberation among the commanders, they decided unanimously that the vampires were a major threat. If they were to defeat the vampires, the first order of business was to cut off any help the latter had been getting. In that case, that meant the werewolves aiding the vampires in their atrocious deeds.
Back when the outbreak of the blood virus started and the vampires had gone on a rampage, Raytor had led a large group of werewolves to launch attacks on the cities in Adrune. Now, they had occupied five human cities at the top of the mountains. Therefore, the allied forces planned to eradicate the werewolves before attacking the vampires.
“As the commander-in-chief, I must conserve my energy for the battle against the vampires, the Patriarch, and the thirteen vampire princes. So, who's willing to go and deal with the Alpha Wolf?” Wolfric deliberately asked as he gazed at his three deputy commanders.
Leopold was among the best in combat prowess among the Gods of War from the hundred nations and arguably one of the strongest Gods of War among humans. His subordinates included Rogan and other warriors from Remdik, all of whom were excellent in combat. Nonetheless, he ignored Wolfric's question and kept his mouth shut, not wanting to respond. I don't want to be the vanguard, nor do I have any wish for Wolfric to send me out and end up exhausting my energy. Everyone knows just how difficult it'll be to take on the werewolves. If Wolfric isn't willing to get involved, neither am I.
As for Eugene IV, he did not mind going were it not for the fact that the Curia had recently sent out most of its elite fighters. Raytor is too strong. Even if I wanted to send our men to deal with him, there's nothing much I can do.
