[Snow Peak Mountain]

After Ariel dealt with the orb that summons the demonic beast on the western tribe encampment, the remining orb on the east was then soon taken care off as the combination of Gabriel's might and Sandalphon's attack potency had literally destroyed any oppositions that exist on the east.

As the three orbs were destroyed, the archangels then pulled back their army, as they begun retreating back towards the remaining checkpoint of the southern tribe and report what had just happened. Unknown to them their actions of destroying the orb had alerted someone that is currently roaming the snow peak mountain.

Once the orb was destroyed, this particular person seemed to look into the distance, as he breaths out a mouthful of cold air, before lowering down its hood and begun to climb towards the mouth of a certain ominous snow and ice filled cave that is at the size of a small scale building.

But going back to the recent event in the snow peak mountain, about some time later, all the archangels finally arrived at the 30th tribe territory, as they all landed in front of Asagi and reported the success of the operation. Upon receiving such news, Asagi then called for a meeting with the other tribal chiefs as she proclaims the end of her aid.

"The demonic beast had been dealt with, i have fulfilled my end of the bargain"

Hearing her words the rest of the tribal chiefs were naturally shocked, as even Boris was shocked by such news. After all everything happened so fast to the point that their own men who specialized in strategy cant even keep up with the recent activities.

They expected a month long war before the demonic beast could be eliminated by their allies, they even prepared rations good for two month in case they were still stuck in the 30th tribe territory after the extermination of the demonic beast. They just never expected the result would come out that fast in such a grand scale operation.

Just by this time slot, one can even imagine just how stronger the angels were in comparison to the demonic beast, and just how much strength this so called allies have if they ever turn against them. In this moment some of the chiefs were thankful that Tetra manage to make a friendly relation with such creatures, cause if not everything could go downhill.

"That fast? I expected for a month long war of attrition, but you manage to finish the job in less than a few days?" asked by Boris

"It is only expected if my people do their task without any rest day and night" answered by Asagi

With that the rest of the chief then rushed out of the tent as they ordered their men to confirm the situation. After all they still cant believe this ridiculous situation.

Not long after about a few hours from now, using some kind of intermediary of their own flying beast, they were able to confirm the situation as they reported back towards the chiefs of the southern tribe and made everyone cheer out loud. With such news, the morale of the whole army was naturally high, as they celebrated for such an occasion.

At that even Boris stood up from his seat and thanked Asagi. As if that wasn't enough, he even declared that he would help her at least one time, if she ever needed his help. After all Asagi did something honorable for their people, so it was only natural that he should reciprocate it if she was in ever need of assistance.

As Boris joined his men, Tetra then soon saw off his uncle Einar pulling Duncan to join the celebration, as she then walked beside Asagi.

"Thank you!"

"What for?"

"For answering my call, if you did reject my call for assistance, I cant even imagine how we would deal with those demonic creatures"

"... Oh that? that was nothing!, i only lost a few angels at most, but the majority still survived this operation"

"... You lost some men? I'm sorry to hear that"

"Don't be! They've done their job and fulfilled their purpose, you will just stain their honor if you feel sorry for them"

Hearing the word honor, Tetra then reminded herself just how valuable the honor is to every warrior alive. With that thought in mind, she simply nodded and repeated the words of Boris that was proclaimed under his name. Just like Boris, Tetra offered help whenever Asagi is in need of assistance.

"So what will you do now?" 

"Me? My job here is done, I'm thinking of pulling out my people and watch how the surface world deal with their own problem"

"...You're leaving already?"

"Actually yes... there's nothing to do here any longer, i think its time"

"Don't you want to stay for a bit? i mean enjoy the celebration"

"There's no need for that, my kingdom is quite vulnerable now that the whole force is dispatched to aid your people... we need to quickly return in order to keep the safety of our people and prevent any crimes from happening due to loss of military power"

"I... I see"

"Plus i think it wont be long till you guys will be occupied at the next events happening"

After saying those words, Asagi simply smiled back at Tetra as she begun dematerializing her body, which is the sign of her cancelling her spell from her throne. Even thought Tetra was still confused on Asagi's last remark, she was then too late, as she saw Asagi's body completely disappear into mana particles in front of her.

At the same time the archangels bid their farewell to the natives of the land as they all pulled back their army and flew up into the cloudy night sky.

With their allies departure, all the warriors and natives of the land, could simply look up as they saw their allies disappear into the night sky.

A few hours after the angels departure, a messenger bird coming from the east and north flew down from the sky and landed in front of everyone who was merry in their celebration. Upon seeing the bird, the celebration was temporarily halted, as everyone went silent and waited for Boris to take a look at the letter that was stuck on the messenger birds body.

After taking a look on its content, a surprised look came from Boris as he read it out  loud and declare to everyone that the Eastern tribe army and Northern tribe army wanted to surrender and asked for mercy from the southern tribes. From the looks on how the letter was made and how urgent it was sent, it looks like both side from the north and east tribes, were scared beyond silly by the strength and power of their ally.

The performance of the archangels alone made them feel inferior and forced them to surrender. With the destruction of their trump card and the hidden power helping the southern tribe, it was only natural for them to surrender in order to lighten the punishment for this war. After all they were somewhat coerced into starting a tribal war.

On the other hand the southern tribe as a whole begun to think that such a proposal was a trap and most likely a counter plan to take everyone out in one go upon arriving in this dire situation. But after careful consideration, Boris had given his decision to meet up with the various representative of both sides towards the area which the three territory intersect.

Three days after the angels had left, all three leaders had then met in the intersection area, as both the northern tribe and eastern tribe begun foretelling their situation and how they were coerced into this war. But due to the fact that Payton is somewhat familiar towards Boris attitude, his explanation doesn't seem that much exaggerated as he simply answered truthfully to everything Boris ask of him.

In the end Boris accepted their request of surrender with some conditions after the war. The first condition is that both the north and the east would compensate the south with half of  their abundant supplies of food and water for the whole year. Second both territory would give up a portion of their unquiet territorial property such as the tamed beast, and the knowledge of micro spreading the aura. And lastly a portion of their territory will be given up to the south as a reminder of their loss in this war.

Even thought such compensation is quite a demerit for the two tribes, such a thing cannot be avoided for the fact that they had surrendered willingly in front of the southern tribes. After accepting those terms, both sides then left to pull out their army, as they will start to prepare the compensation needed to appease the victor.

With the surrender of the north and east, the western tribe were the only side that hasn't given up yet, despite the fear that the angels had instilled within their hearts. For them they believe that the demon would eventually return back to them and aid them in this war once more. Unknown to them the demon itself disregarded their existence and had begun to ignore them as a whole.

With such resistance, the battel against the west prolonged for another week, till they finally got done in on the 7th day of the week. Since both the pressure from the north and east had subsided, all forces then concentrated on the west, which made it hard for the western tribe to even move forward from their formation.

Under Boris guidance, the western army finally fell as the majority of its warriors were killed, and some were captured alive. Soon after the 1st tribal leader of the western army was then brought in front of Boris in order to hear his decision.

There were two choices given to the tribal chief, first is that they surrender and pull back their troops and wait for further instruction of compensation, or die under the blade. Of thinking that the demon was still trying to help them from the dark, the 1st tribal chief chose to further retaliate, which then led to his death alongside its subordinate who has the same thought as him. As for the other leaders that had the same opinion, they were also killed on the spot by the blades of the southern tribe.

In the end the total 30 tribal leaders in the camp, were now reduced to mere 10, as the is residue chose to surrender rather than accepting death. Among them was Lothar who felt conflicted with the presence of a demon in their ranks. But the western tribe cant be left without a leading figure, because of that Lothar was appointed by Boris to take charge of their tribe and lead everyone home to wait for further instructions.

Upon receiving such orders, Lothar obediently accepted it, as he surrendered to his fate. After all he knew that the moment the orb was destroyed, it was a sign that they were riding a losing war.

With the defeat of the western tribes, the western tribe were now put under the rule of the southern tribe, as they will serve their sentence as a vassal territory for the victor of the war for about 10 years. From that point on, the war between the tribes then ended from that sudden shift of power with the help of some third party forces.

With the end of the war, peace returned to the land, as all tribes went back to their territory and managed what was left in the advent of the demonic beast.

At the same time Asagi was currently having a headache from the problem that was laid out right in front of her. Under the investigation of Darius, aside from the smuggled goods, there were also smuggled slaves being brought to the capital city and some of her kingdom's residents being captured by some slave traders and sold to other countries.

The root cause of such operation that violates human rights naturally came from the disguised establishment that had grown in the dark in Estia Kingdom. In order to solve such problem, Asagi had to free up some of her schedule in order to pay a visit towards the central continent Estia Kingdom and hunt down this underground organization.

The moment the slave traders touched her people, was the moment Asagi become hostile towards them.

However this decision also somewhat out of place in this current time as Asagi looked at the systems current date of this world that referenced earth's time.

*********
December 23
*********

One day apart from Christmas eve. In this world, Asagi wanted to experience Christmas with the residents of this world, but at the same time, she cant forget her duty as the queen who protect her people. So in order to accommodate the two events, she then planned to split her forces in order to accomplish the impossible.

In this moment Gabriel contacted her telepathically using the rune law of space, as he informed her that Tetra and Boris offered her a way towards further north of the northern continent, in order to reach her destined goal. The moment she heard this, Asagi then once again reminded of her purpose as she agreed to meet up with the two tribal leader to discuss such topic.
