Chapter 36 Marching Of Soldiers
Ren returned to his village. He wasn't that satisfied by the gain. After returning, he returned to his village.
As he was sitting peacefully, the door was flung open. Nezumi didn't slide the door but broke it, and rushed at Ren.
"Lord! A huge problem has arrived!" She slammed her hand on the table and spoke in a serious manner.
Ren didn't know what to do as he stare at her helplessly.
"What problem came this time?" He couldn't help but sigh.
'I will book a flight to another country! I am too fed up with these problems!'
When he thought inside, he fixed himself.
"The imperial soldiers have captured the small town as its base. It seems a war between demon and human is taking place in this forest!"
"So, what's the problem? We don't need that mineral from them, and we can just hide from the imperial soldiers. Why are you panicking that much?"
"That's not the problem! The demon is uniting this forest beast and will be using them as their force to fight against the humans."
"..."
"Also, we are also on their list! If we don't accept their alliance, we will be on their blacklist! That means, they will attack us too!"
"Attack us... War... Food..."
Ren's mind worked, and a lot of plans cooked inside his brain.
'If I decline, I will get attacked, if I get attacked, I can kill the attacker, if I kill it, I can eat it... And the point, there will be thousands of them...If I eat them all, won't I get advancement...Also, humans, won't I get to kill many of them too and eat them...A lot of free food...
...I like it!'
His heart throbbed as a smile curved on his face. Immediately removing the smile, he looked at Nezumi. "Decline it."
"...R-Really? Should we really decline it... I think the loss is greater than the profit."
'For you, that is, for me, it's way too profit.'
Hiding his thought, Ren smiled at her. "We are Arashi, the storm. We don't bow to anyone, we will always hold our head high and kill anyone that comes to step in our head."
Nezumi nodded, she had a little troubled expression. She did as Ren said and declined the invitation to the alliance.
Who knows, what the demons would do.
**********
After declining the invitation, Nezumi went to do her daily work.
As the demons received the letter, their face redden in anger.
"Those puny beasts dare to reject us. It seems we are too kind, make them an example. Show what happens when anyone dares to reject us!"
A creature whose skin was black from top to bottom roared. He had two horns on his head and a humanoid figure. His face looked a little scary.
"Yes lord."
His subordinates nodded.
Fifty monsters of different tribes moved to Arashi village. Some were horse tribes, some bear tribes, some bull tribes, etc.
The commander was the demon, a muscular guy with four arms. He was bald and had a cold expression on his face.
A red aura emitted from his body that made him look domineering.
"Are we really gonna attack the Arashi village?"
"Yes, it seems."
The tribesmen whispered among themselves.
"I heard dog, cat, and bunny tribes were defeated by the Arashi village. Can we only 50 soldiers defeat them?"
"Don't worry, we are one of the elites of our tribe. And we have PÃchis on our side, one of the strong demons."
"Is he really that strong?"
"Dunno, I only heard, he could destroy a mountain with his punch."
"That powerful."
*******
As the soldiers were whispering and chatting, they arrived near the Arashi village. Since it was night, they decided to camp and attack the Arashi village the next day.
But, Arashi's soldiers have already been informed of their visit.
"So, we have a problem!" Nezumi slammed her hand on the table.
"We are attacked by 50 soldiers, right?" Hirashi asked.
"Yes." Nezumi nodded.
"Can't we just fight them, we have around 400 soldiers on our side," Jinxi added.
"No, we can do that, but it will cause a huge chaos." Urasu put his thoughts.
"We can deal with them. We can't trouble our lord more, he has done so many things for us. So, we top 6 people should deal with this problem!" Nezumi advise.
"I am up." Shirej raised his hand showing his favorability to the idea.
Shirjej the leader of the orc tribe had many works to manage, as the development of the village comes to the top. Since he is free now, he is taking part in the meeting.
His figure was slim and had an average face. While orcs are generally ugly, after getting their name from Ren, they had become less ugly. And, Shirej is the most handsome in orc tribe.
The commander nodded and the elites of the Arashi village made their move.
In the middle of the night, the assassin Nezumi, fighter Shirej, Swordsmen the three elders, and tank the commander, moved silently.
