Chapter 290: Ch 290 : Preparations for war
On the plaza of the Mercurius Palace, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the radiant temple.
"Next, I will open this temple," Hisui said firmly, looking at the crowd before her.
"To save this country, I must draw my sword and fight."
...
Meanwhile, on the streets of Crocus, Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy were sprinting toward the Mercurius Palace.
Leading the way, Jellal spoke in a low voice, "As for the other person who came here... I don’t know his purpose. So, we must enter the castle as quickly as possible."
...
Underground in the Mercurius Palace, the standoff between the demon god and the fairies continued.
"Are you going to try and stop us?" Noel stared at Garlos and Stella, a mysterious gleam flashing in his blue and purple eyes.
"There are only two of you. Don’t you think you’re being a little too arrogant?"
"Not necessarily. If we were talking about defeating His Majesty Nord, we wouldn’t stand a chance," Garlos replied with a faint, calm smile.
