181 - - CHAPTER XXIV PREPARATION OF WAR

The chiefs of the five tribes gather together in a large room of a mansion in the center of the capital of the Confederated States of Beastmen.

To avoid any disputes over seating positions, the heads of the five tribes were seated in a circle on a long-haired carpet, without chairs or tables.

The chairmanship rotates, with Levad, the leader of the Taiga tribe, once again serving as chairman.

Levad was a black leopard from head to tail, with a deep scar running from his right eye to his forehead.

Because of his scars, he has a very stern and powerful impression, and is feared by the young men of his tribe. Not only is he intimidating in appearance, but he is also feared by young people for his simple strength, as he is physically strong and capable in battle, even though he is approaching middle age.

Such is the case with Levado, who, because he is the chairman, proceeds to speak in a less intimidating tone of voice.

He says, "With the active cooperation of the Wolf and Winged species, including our young people, we have about 2,000 human beings (inferior species) who are capable of fighting properly, and about 1,000 human beings (inferior species) who can be taken hostage. A total of about 3,000 people were secured. We had finished attacking the villages near ......, and the wariness of the humans (inferior species) moving along the roads had become too strong. I think it's time to move on, don't you?"

We agree with Mister Levado.

......We, the Wolfe species, agree. It's time to finish our preparations and put our plan into action.

Immediately after Levad's question, Igor, the chief of the Winged Race, whose face resembles that of a human with a bald head but whose arms are covered with feathers like birds, and Gam, the chief of the Wolf Race, with his drooping ears, voiced their agreement.

On the other hand, Ozo, the tallest of the five tribes and the most physically fit of them all, folded his arms and held a smoking pipe in his mouth, which he bobbed up and down.

It was like the tail of a grumpy cat.

Beni, the reddest of the five chiefs, who also has a wrinkled brow and is in the same overtly "bad mood" as Ozoh, does not reply and falls silent.

The eyes of the three gather on the two.

Ozoh, the beast-bear chief, looks deeply displeased, takes the smoking pipe from his mouth in one hand, and lets it slip out in a heavy tone of voice.

Oi disagree. This is insane.

I agree with Mr. Ozo. I also agree with Mr. Ozo, that even though we are dealing with a human race, it is still too much.

I'm sorry to hear you both say that now. This was decided by the council of chiefs, wasn't it?　First of all, there is no going back now that we have attacked a village or captured and kidnapped a human (inferior species) that was traveling on the road.

Levado, who chaired the meeting, nailed them both with a strong tone.

Beni looks away guiltily, but Ozo, whose eyes are big both vertically and horizontally, stares back at Levado and the others.

'............'

An air of tension began to prevail at the meeting of the chiefs.

The faces of non-combatant Winged Chief Igor and Beastman Bovine Chief Beni turned pale in the tense atmosphere.

After about a minute had passed, the chairman of the meeting, Levad, who was indeed in charge of the meeting, shrugged his shoulders in a light tone and began to speak in a light tone.

He shrugged his shoulders and said in a light tone: "Chief Ozo, Chief Beni, regardless of your personal feelings, I am not impressed by your disregard for the matters decided by the council of chiefs. The reason why the beast race has survived until now is because we have united together beyond the boundaries of our clans. Don't forget that this is the reason for the Council of Chiefs."

...... understand."

I have never forgotten you.

Levado, like the chairman this time, deeply nailed the two disgruntled faces.

The discussion proceeded quickly, faster than the atmosphere could deteriorate again.

The two men were now ready to declare war on the whore who claimed to be the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower".

Levado led the discussion on the date and time of the declaration of war by the Allied Beastmen Powers against the "Giant Tower," the location of the decisive battle, and the roles of each tribe.

Although some of the chiefs are dissatisfied, the discussion is proceeding smoothly.

No one notices the presence of a small animal in the corner of the room.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

The discussion at the council of chiefs led to the decision by the Allied Beastmen Nations to declare war on the "Giant Tower," and to decide on the place and date to open the war.

This information was delivered to the main body from the branch of the Hisomi through the Beastman Wolf species gum.

Hisomi, the main body of the Dragon People's Empire, delivers the information to Hiro, the leader of the Dragon People's Empire, at a certain place in the empire.

The main body, Hisomi, delivers the information to Hiro, the leader of the Dragon People Empire, at a certain location. It's much earlier than I expected.

According to my alter ego, there seems to be no problem as far as I'm concerned. For a beast race whose only merit is physical ability, it seems to have done fairly well.

Hiro, the leader and organizer of the masters who sit in the Dragon People's Empire, asks with an anxious look on his face.

He is dressed in a glamorous costume that seems to sparkle and shine, more prince-like than the princes of the racial kingdoms. Furthermore, he himself is as beautiful as his costume, tall and extremely well-fitting.

A stinky, narrow-eyed hisomi responded to Hiro's question as if he were poking fun at the beast race.

Hiro did not deny his perception either, but simply brushed it off.

To them, it seems that the beast race is no better than dumb, bipedal animals whose only merit is their physical ability.

Hisomi followed up with a comment.

I understand your concern, Hiro-dono, but even if the beastmen can't win, they can still be useful to a certain extent in getting information out of you, since you gave them a plan and a magic item.

I hope so." ....... I can't help but hope that even if we get annihilated, we will be able to properly get information on who the "Giant Tower" is, whether it is related to "C," how much strength they have, etc."

For Hiro and Hisomi, the beast race is nothing more than a tool for obtaining information.

Even if the beast races were wiped out, it would not be a big problem for them.

By the way, when they collide with the "giant tower," is there anyone other than Kosei to watch over them?

I think it's a little hard to ......."　I'm still busy coordinating and negotiating, and everyone else is busy with P.A."

Um, where's Mister Black?

...... like a bodyguard for Mr. Kaiser.

I understand that Mr. Kaiser is the core of P.A. and is busy with design, etc., but Mr. Hey Black is just by his side!　I'm really shorthanded already, so you could help me with the little guy. ......"

"The other two are also busy at the bottom of the ocean for 'P.A.' and ...... I'm kind of sorry. I always seem to put the burden only on Hisomi."

Hiro, you don't need to apologize. He's been busy running around as a coordinator for us. ...... I understand that Black is very attached to Kaiser, considering his past, but it would be nice if he could be a little more accommodating. But it would be nice if he could be a little more flexible.

After a round of complaining, Hishomi regained his composure.

I'm going to check the situation there myself on the day of the meeting," she said. In order to make time, I may have to leave some of the work to Hiro-dono.

Please don't hesitate to tell me when you do. I'll leave the information gathering to you instead.

I will do my best.

Hiro and Hisomi discuss the exchange when the "Giant Tower" and the Allied Beast Nation clash.

Thus, preparations for war proceeded without anyone stopping them.
