Evolution of Slime to Peak

"We have got a letter of war!!"

Wut?

Ren dumbfoundedly stare at the face of the soldier who brought the letter.

...A new trouble...or New opportunity to eat...Hehe

Cooking a devilish idea inside his brain, an evil smile covered his face. Even the soldier felt a chill.

"Nezumi!"

As he shouted, a figure zoomed down kneeling.

"Your order, lord."

Nezumi wearing a full black outfit appeared before Ren.

"Call every leader and commander, we have got a problem here."

Saying problem, but his face showed joy.

"..."

Nezumi nodded silently and disappeared.

**********

Getting named by Ren, Nezumi had got her own skill.

Shadow Steps.

With a desire, she could disappear from anywhere. The speed at which she moves can't be seen with naked eyes.

In just some minutes, all the elders and commanders were instructed to go to the chief room. A big room where a cushion is laid in the middle of the room with nothing besides that.

In one word, an empty room. He thought to put furniture here, but due to lack of manpower, he decided to put hold off the idea.

"Hah!"

Ren sighed.

Waiting is so boring.

Ren jumped up and down bouncing on the floor and hitting the roof. A new exercise he made to be fit and strong, which he doesn't need to be.

Drsssss!

The door slide opened. The sliding door got invented by Ren with the help of builders.

As the door opened, four elders who looked middle-aged men and one commander who looked middle-aged man, and a young girl who didn't seem to suit that group walked inside.

After entering, they all bowed and greeted Ren before sitting on the floor on bending knees.

"Ok, this is our first war meeting."

Ren said, he didn't have any seriousness in his voice.

"So, first of all, I request Nezumi to tell us, who is the enemy."

Ren's eyes fell on Nezumi, who stood and lowered her head.

"Our enemy is the allied force of Dog, Cat, and Bunny Tribe. In their letter, it is stated that they see us as a threat. That is just an excuse, from my point."

"Hmm, why?" Ren asked.

"Because, if we are a threat, they won't just wage war on us. While there is a treaty between different races to not wage war, they can wage war when they see us threat. In one word, they want the food resource we have with the excuse of threat as not to get punished by violating the treaty."

"Hmm, that's interesting."

A commander who had a six-pack with his muscle-flexing said.

"So... Do we just wait for their troops to come, or do we have to do some preparation."

"..."

Hearing the commander's words, everyone had the same thoughts in their mind.

Why is he the commander?

An elder whose name is Urasu stood and spoke ignoring the commander's words.

"Hmm, do we have a report of their soldier number?"

"No, Shadows are trying to get that info."

"Oh."

Jinxi stood with a grim face.

"So we have no clear number of their soldiers. But we can presume, they will have more soldiers than us."

"Yeah. From our estimation, alone Dog tribe has 500 soldiers. And other two tribes have 400 and 380 respectively."

Hirashi stood this time and opened his mouth.

"How many soldiers do we have?"

"We have a total of 300 soldiers and 50 shadows members. If we say our, 350 troops can go against 1000 troops of their allied force... But, we will face greater casualties. And other forces can attack us too."

The commander shook his head and spoke.

"So, what's our main problem in this war?"

"Food. While, we have plenty of food now, in war, it will be less. Also, in war, we can't casually go to search for food. So, we may need food for now.

The next problem is our troops. While our troops may strong, they don't have real war experience. But this is not much of an issue, since we can say the same to our enemy."

"Oh." Ren raised his eye. He can technically lift them since he has a squishy body.

"Yeah. The most problematic thing is the weapon. We don't have many weapons, and the weapons we have now are on the verge of destruction. No one knows when they will break."

"So, for the preparation, we need food and weapons, right?" Ren asked.

"Yeah." Nezumi nodded.

"For now, I have a strategy to use for them... I also have some weapon recommendations that will come in use..."

Ren smiled evilly as he said that.

Everyone stare at Ren and nodded.

Our chief is the best. He always has a solution for every problem.

They all smiled inwardly and encouraged themself to do better in the war.

On the other hand, Ren wracked his brain.

"Hmm, stones are here. Rubbers may be some problem, but I will figure it out. Hmm..." He mumbled to himself.

Everyone stood and said in sync.

"We will leave now."

Ren glanced at them and nodded before going to his own fantasy.
