Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

After making this decision, Harold summoned the royal envoy again, explained the decision of the council in detail, then ordered someone to bring a token, wrote something on a piece of paper, and then said to the guard: "Take this token and my letter to the Slaughter House and tell them that the Slaughter House must act today."

The royal envoy and his guards left together. Once outside the deliberation court, the envoy went straight to the palace. Inside the palace, Vera was waiting, feeling uncertain. Cai Ran had actually sent more than one letter. The second secret letter advised Vera to take advantage of the reinforcements to divide the ten dukes, send their personal guards to the front lines, and then use a protracted war to eliminate these noble guards. She would then continuously request reinforcements and redeploy them until they were completely divided and weakened.

Upon arriving at the palace and meeting Vera, the royal envoy exclaimed with delight, "Your Majesty! The Council has approved!"

"Really? That's wonderful! What did they say?" Vera was overjoyed. She had already assumed that the council was on the side of the nobles, and she was sure that her thoughts could not be hidden from the council, so she had no hope. She did not expect that the council would agree.

"Chief Councilor Harold ordered the transfer of Duke Manuel's personal guards to support the eastern front, and then troops were drawn from the counts and marquesses under Reno and Xie Tongguang. This order was to be carried out by the Extermination Bureau." The royal envoy told Verra everything he knew.

"The Annihilation Bureau?" Upon hearing these three words, Vera became suspicious again. The Annihilation Bureau was a judicial body, established during the reign of the late king to balance the power of the royal family and the Court of Judgment, preventing either side from losing control. In principle, the Annihilation Bureau did not participate in major military and political affairs. Now, however, the orders of the Court of Judgment were being carried out by the Annihilation Bureau, which Vera did not understand the purpose of. But since this decision had already been made, she did not delve into it further and whispered to the royal envoy before her:

"Keep an eye on the movements of the Extinction Bureau these next two days. Once the reinforcements have assembled, you will depart with them for the eastern front. Convey my secret order to Cai Ran, telling him that the eastern reinforcements are Manuel's personal guards and that he is free to act as he sees fit."

"I understand!"

Meanwhile, the Extinction Bureau received a command token and a letter from the Council of Deliberation. The Bureau Chief, Lei Cixin, was also puzzled. The Extinction Bureau never participated in major military and political affairs. Why would it entrust the Extinction Bureau, which was on the same level as the Council of Deliberation, with the task of mobilizing noble troops? After thinking it over, she decided to find out what was going on first.

After dismissing the people from the Deliberation Court, she ordered someone to inquire about what had happened in the palace and the Deliberation Court that day. Soon, news came from the Deliberation Court that a royal envoy had come to the Deliberation Court to ask the Demon King questions, indicating that it was the Demon King's suggestion to draw on the noble army. After receiving this information, Lei Cixin understood the Deliberation Court's intentions.

"These old fogies saw through the little girl's plan, but they didn't want to get entangled with the Ten Dukes, so they dumped this difficult task on my Extermination Bureau. They told me to handle it, and then they even sent the Extermination Team to the eastern front to oversee the battle." Thinking of this, she then thought of:

“Cai Ran is known for his loyalty to the royal family. I’m afraid the reason for the supervision is that the council is trying to prevent the little girl from secretly giving Cai Ran orders and disrupting the council’s decision-making. Hmm, if that’s the case, then the Extinction Bureau might really need to step in.”

Having made up his mind, Lei Cixin no longer hesitated and immediately summoned someone, ordering, "Bring Yuan Long and Gillette here."

Yuan Long and Gillette are the core figures in the Extinction Bureau, second only to Lei Cixin. Yuan Long is the Extinction Chief, in charge of judgment and execution, which is the Extinction Bureau's military force. Gillette is the Demon Envoy, in charge of intelligence gathering, which is the intelligence department.

Before long, the two appeared in front of Lei Cixin. Although Lei Cixin was a woman, her experienced and ruthless aura was not just talk. Even Yuan Long and Gillie, two big and burly men, couldn't help but feel awe every time they stood in front of Lei Cixin.

"Prefect, you wanted to see us?"

"Well, there are two things I need to assign to you to do separately."

"Please give your instructions, Your Excellency."

"First, Yuan Long, you will personally lead a team, carrying the decree token and letter from the Council of Deliberation, to recruit soldiers from Manuel, Renault, and Duke Xie Tongguang. In addition, you will form an extermination team consisting of five extermination officers and one demon administration officer to accompany the army to the eastern front to supervise the battle."

After giving her instructions, she turned her gaze to Gillette and said, "The second thing, Gillette, is for you to go back and issue an order to strengthen the collection of information on the movements of the royal family and the Council of Deliberation. At the same time, strengthen the surveillance of all localities, especially the territories under the rule of the Ten Dukes and their cronies. Regardless of whether the royal family or the Council of Deliberation is in contact with any nobles, they must report it truthfully. Do you two understand?"

"Understood!" the two replied without asking any questions, and left to carry out their orders. Under Lei Cixin's rule, she did not like her subordinates to ask too many questions. She only cared about execution. The two of them had naturally mastered this skill to reach their positions.

That very day, Yuan Long personally led the team to set off and arrived at the Duke of Manuel's territory. Although it was already evening, he didn't care whether Manuel was resting or not, and led his men directly to Manuel's residence.

Just as Manuel was about to rest, a servant came to report that someone was requesting an audience. Manuel said impatiently, "Tell them to come back tomorrow!"

"My lord, they say they are from the Annihilation Bureau."

“The Annihilation Bureau?” Manuel had no choice but to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw a servant standing outside holding a token in both hands. How could he not recognize that it was the Demon Token that belonged exclusively to the Council of Deliberation? His first reaction was that the Annihilation Bureau had already sided with the Council of Deliberation. This made him take it seriously. He immediately changed his clothes and went to the hall to greet them in person.

After Yuan Long and the others entered the room and took their seats, they didn't stand on ceremony. Yuan Long took out Harold's letter from his pocket and said bluntly, "Duke Manuel, it's already evening. I'll cut to the chase and leave after I've delivered the Council's orders."

Manuel said solemnly, "Please speak, Commander of Annihilation."

Yuan Long opened the letter and read: "The southeastern front of the Demon Kingdom is in dire need of attention. The troops of the direct royal family and the Court of Deliberation have all been dispatched to the front. Orders are given to draw 200,000 troops from the direct territory of Duke Manuel, 100,000 troops from the territories of the counts and marquises under his jurisdiction, and 400,000 troops from the territories of Dukes Renault and Xie Tongguang and the counts and marquises under their jurisdiction, for a total of 700,000 troops to support the southeastern front. There must be no mistakes. The troops must be assembled and depart within three days. The Extinction Bureau will dispatch the Extinction Team to accompany and supervise the troops."

After reading it aloud, Yuan Long handed the letter to Manuel and said, "Your Grace, please mobilize the troops first thing tomorrow morning." With that, Yuan Long stood up, retrieved his command token, and led his troops away without looking back.

Manuel sat in the hall, turning Harold's handwritten letter over and over in his hand, feeling extremely dissatisfied. He knew the size of the royal army, which had indeed been mostly transferred to the front lines, but now 200,000 troops were to be transferred from his own territory alone. These were the troops he had raised, and it pained him to no end.

In an instant, he thought of the royal city guards and royal personal guards directly under the royal family, and wanted to struggle a bit more. He didn't care about time or pomp, so he immediately went outside, activated his elemental power, flew into the air, and disappeared into the night sky.
