Battle of Ascension

Chapter 297: The Conclusion

The next morning, Randy along with the upper echelons of Happy Guild gathered in the circular house. Marlin fell unconscious since yesterday fight against Randy and there was a word he wanted to say before he fainted.

Because of those words, Randy didn't kill him. He had a hope, a hope to make the Monikia Tribe worked under his guild.

One Eternal Grade Beastmen, ten Mythical Grade Beastmen, and thirty Legendary Grade Beastmen as for the other Monikia was at Ancient Grade at the lowest. It was the main force of the Monikia Tribe and it was a huge boost for his guild if they were under his guild.

Even though the number of the Monikia Tribe was less than a thousand if he forced his 600 Garuda's members to clash against the Monikia Tribe. It was highly they would suffer a huge loss.

Also, If it was the other guild who faced Monikia Tribe, but not Happy Guild. Randy sure that guild would have suffered a disastrous defeat under the Monikia Tribe.

However, Randy was not sure if the Monikia Tribe wanted to work under his guild or not. But from the clue he had in his head, his guild had seventy percent to make Monikia Tribe worked under him.

He had this thought based on the Monikia did in the last one week when they were in the Monkin Island. First, they didn't attack them but avoided them since the first day.

Second, despite having the power to wipe the groups he sent to investigate the forest, the Monikia Tribe didn't do so. Instead of killing Garuda's members, they knocked ten people to drive them away from the island.

Third, it was Marlin's words. He had said that they didn't want to get in the hostile side of human. So he chose to drive them away rather than battling against his guild.

He had 70 percent confidence to recruit the Monikia Tribe based on these three reasons. He believed this Monikia Tribe was like The Federation of Ascension.

The Federation of Ascension formed with one purpose, it was to ascend to the next world. It was what Audrey told him about The Federation of Ascension.

The Federation of Ascension founded from many groups. Human Race, Monster, Beast, Devil, Demon and other race. Their main purpose was to ascend to the next world, they didn't care about the territory, they won't seize the occupied territory, and they won't attack other faction except they were retaliating.

Even though The Federation of Ascension won't seize other territories, their force was terrifying. The main reason for the Crimson Cloud Kingdom put their most armies in the western was The Federation of Ascension.

Audrey told him despite having a pact of peace, the Crimson Cloud Kingdom would never let their defense loose as one fatal mistake, The Federation of Ascension could raze the Crimson Cloud Kingdom.

That was why King Andreas would never take the reinforcement from the west. King Andreas chose the Blazing Cloud Battalion in the Capital City as reinforcement rather than calling the army in the western border.

King Andreas chose to empty the army in the Capital City rather than the western border. Randy understood how strong the federation from this one information only that was why he wanted the Monikia Tribe was working under his guild.

The eight people were leisurely enjoying the fruit, and the wine served by the Monikia Tribe. Even though most of Monikia felt grateful of Randy as he didn't kill Marlin, but they were still cold to him and the others.

However, Randy ignored the cold treatment as he enjoyed the wine and peach. The peach was like a normal peach, but it was bigger, and it was red-gold in color.

The peach tasted good when he bit the peach a sweat juicy flooded in his mouth accompanied with a bit of sourness. He never tasted a peach before and this was the first time he tasted a peach.

He didn't know the tastes of peach, but he enjoyed the peach in his hand. But what made him speechless was the drinks, Monikia served them a bottle of wine in the morning. Randy shook his head as he held the glass made of bamboo.

However, when the wine entered his mouth, Randy surprised. The wine in his hand was not like wind, but more like

'Tea!!!'

Yes, the wine in his hand was like tea, but it was different from the normal tea. Randy rested his chin on his hand as he stared at the bamboo in his other hand. He was trying to find the right word to describe the wine.

However, before he could even find the right words to describe the wine, there was someone entered the circular house.

The eight people inside turned their head toward the entrance simultaneously. There were three Monikias entered and Randy familiar with only one silver Monikia, Marlin. The other two Monikias were Mythical Grade Beastmen.

There was a noticeable distinction between the normal Monikia he met compared to these two Monikias, it was the mustache.

Yes, Randy called it mustache as the fur above their mouth was much denser compared to the other Monikia. Actually, there were many Monikias wanted to accompany their chief, but Marlin opposed and asked them to stay outside.

Murin and Kurin were supporting Marlin as he was having a hard time to walk. However, when Marlin entered the circular house, he broke free from the two Elders and approached Randy with a serious look.

Just as Randy wanted to stand up, Marlin sat directly before him. Randy was sitting on the floor with a soft fur as the cushion and a small table. The peaches and the wine were on the table.

"Chief!"

Kurin and Murin shouted at the same time. They wanted to prevent Marlin, but Marlin stopped them with a wave of his hand.

Marlin took a deep breath, and a determination flashed in his eyes as he looked at Randy.

"Would you like to listen to my words?"

Randy smiled as he nodded his head.

There's no need to guess for what happened next. Randy listened to Marlin's word per words with great detail. Marlin was telling him the Monikia Tribe condition.

He was telling Randy that they got chosen by the God Beast and got its blessing. Marlin was telling him about their origin. Even though they got the blessing and the power from the God Beast, but they didn't want to get involved the prolonged war.

They just wanted their tribe to ascend to the next world, The Ascension World. They didn't want to become the strongest or thirst of the reign of land, they just wanted to main the survival of their tribe until they ascended to the Ascension World because they were scarce.

Randy had an unbelievable look as he heard Marlin's words. They had the power, but they didn't have the ambition to rule over the world as others did.

Even though Randy could not discern what Marlin told him was the truth or not, but Marlin looked sincere as he explained their situation. Also, as Marlin went on, Randy could not help smiling. But of course he didn't show it on his face, he smiled inside his heart.

The more Randy heard Marlin's words, the more he was confident to acquire the Monikia Tribe under Happy Guild. After half an hour lengthy explanation, Marlin stopped and chugged the wine in his hand in one go.

Marlin took another a deep breath.

"And, after experiencing your strength. I, Marlin, The Chief of Monikia Tribe, representing my tribe to swear to become your Ancillary,"

Marin said it with a deep voice and seriousness.

The atmosphere turned into a solemn and quiet. They could only hear their breathing sound as everyone inside the circular house turned their head at Randy. Kurin and Murin seemed not surprised and seemed to know their chief would say these words out.

However, Randy stayed silent. But Randy's eyes were on Marlin, emotionless. No one knew what Randy's thought, they could not read it.

The atmosphere stayed still for half a minute before Randy broke into a smile. He was smiling brightly as he got a treasure into his hand.

Randy stretched out his right hand out to Marlin, "Welcome to Happy Guild!"

Marlin had a puzzled look on his face at first. He looked at Randy's hand and Randy's face back and forth, puzzling what the meaning behind Randy's hand.

Randy understood the monkey before him didn't understand what he meant. Randy scratched his head with his left hand, "This is"

"But I have one condition for my tribe!"
