"What happened?!" Makarov shouted with a frown.

"Report to Minister Cat, there is a magical change in the central square! It's... it's August and Agil! They are summoning a lot of quicksand and gravity magic, and the entire city center has been shrouded!"

Brother Cat gritted his teeth and sneered: "These two bastards are really rude, they actually came directly to my door... It's a pity that Hal is not here, no, it's just in time! Let me tell Hal that the so-called twelve shields of the Holy Guard are nothing great, so that he doesn't always put pressure on himself."

He took a deep breath, then turned to the soldier next to him and said: "Notify Melty and order her to land and gather troops immediately. Even if she uses numbers to overwhelm me, she must crush these two invading main forces of the Albares Empire!"

"Yes!" The soldier nodded in response, and Cobra also picked up the captive Minerva in his hand, with a cold look in his eyes.

"Tell everyone, today we are going to teach these bastards of the Empire a lesson, especially the so-called Desert King! From the intelligence collected over the years, this guy likes to look down on us the most!" Brother Cat swung his tail before he finished speaking, his eyes full of determination and fighting spirit.

Below the arena.

As Melty's fleet slowly landed on the distant coastline, August's expression slowly changed.

"Agil! How long are you going to play!"

In the back, the terrifying sand turned into a sky-high sand giant, punching out, as if the entire Kurokas was shaking.

Agil's figure slowly solidified above the giant's head, looking at the deep pit below where the giant fist had blasted out.

Jura fell into the deep pit covered in blood, and the magic power in his body almost disappeared.

"The Tenth Saint of the Continent? I remember, a scum wizard! Hahaha~" After saying that, he suddenly jumped off the giant's head and fell all the way to August's side, and the terrifying power shattered the ground under his feet.

"Ajir, it takes too long." August said lightly.

"Old man, wouldn't it be better if you moved to the front of the Eclipse Gate?" Ajir was a little dizzy, and even teased.

August ignored him. He had lived for hundreds of years and didn't want to argue with the young.

He looked at the coastline in the distance. In that direction, hundreds of black warships had landed and soldiers were gathering.

"We have to hurry, Ajir."

"What are you afraid of, old man! Transfer my guards here. Hasn't His Majesty thought about it a long time ago?! Hahaha, let me lead them to kill all the scum of Ishgar!"

Hearing this, August slowly closed his eyes with a staff in his hand, and there was a trace of worry in the corners of his old eyes.

His consciousness slowly returned to the conversation with His Majesty several years ago.

Jellal looked at August in front of him, his tone calm and gentle.

"Ougast, did you know that the Ishgar continent was unified by one country?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have heard a little bit about it. It is said that a wizard from the Wizard Guild inherited the throne and swept across Ishgar."

Zerff looked at this human subordinate who had followed him the longest, and smiled lightly: "The wizard's name is Hal. Like me, he is watched by the god Anxelram."

"Same as Your Majesty?" August was a little surprised to hear this. He had been staying in Albares and knew very little about Ishgar.

"Yes, we are the same kind~" Zeref said with a meaningful smile.

"Your Majesty, are you going to attack Ishgar? Take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet completely established its rule."

"No, August, I am just looking forward to it. I am looking forward to the battle with Hal. He is such an unexpected man. He even persuaded Mavis to be his military advisor. You know, Mavis hates war the most..." Zeref said with some emotion, but immediately reacted: "Oh, sorry, August, Mavis is the heart of the fairy I told you about before, and she is also a person like me..."

Mavis?

August's mind was completely attracted by this name.

This is - the name of his mother.

For some reason, he, who has lived for a hundred years, was quietly touched for the first time in his heart.

He had no idea why his dead mother could still act.

From then on, August began to pay attention to the affairs of the Ishgar continent at all times.

He wanted to know what his mother, Mavis, was doing;

He wanted to know what kind of person his mother was;

He had only seen his mother when she was a baby.

Since then, he had never seen her...

He... wanted to see his mother, Mavis... even if it was just for a glance.

He then learned from the intelligence what Mavis had done..

Everything she did, every strategy she implemented, and every system she promoted made him feel warm for some reason.

His mother, Mavis, was a kind person who hated war.

In order to prevent the war from causing a large number of casualties, she used an almost unrepeatable god-like strategy to wipe out almost all of her father's followers in Ishgar with almost no casualties.

After the war, in order to let the people in the backward areas live a better life, she implemented countless policies that benefited the people, which made many people in Ishgar grateful to her and even took the initiative to build a statue for her.

His mother, Mavis, was a kind person.

As more and more news about Mavis came out, August's heart, which had been silent and lonely all his life, was once again moved.

But then, he also had new questions.

Who is Hal?

Later, three months ago, when his father, Zeref, returned from a trip to the North Continent and asked him if he was willing to join his game.

He immediately answered, yes.

Just like the past hundred years, the answer was the same.

However, this time, Jelf looked very happy, happier than ever before, which made Auguste more and more worried. He knew that Jelf, who had lived for a long time, might finally collapse.

Since he was a child, when he came to Jelf by chance, he secretly made up his mind not to let him know that he was his son.

So, no matter what Jelf's father asked him to do, he did it one by one. He didn't want to disappoint his father.

He knew that his father was a gentle man.

When they met for the first time, he gave himself a name when he was displaced.

So, he couldn't recognize his father.

His father's love would kill him.

He was not afraid of death, he was afraid that... the fragile heart of his father who had lived for a long time would be hurt again.

So, he spent his whole life to endure himself! Suppress himself! Paralyze himself!

He silently stayed by his father's side and was his right-hand man.

A hundred years have passed, and he has become a wizard as powerful as his father.

However, he will not refuse any of his father's orders.

However, this time is different from the past.

If it is the mother, maybe it is possible.

If it is just the mother in the spirit state, maybe... it is possible!
