“I won’t beat around the bush. I need everyone to work together to resolve this situation swiftly and minimize damage,” Aron began, addressing all the targeted personnel, as usual, keeping to his word of not beating around the bush from the start.

“For starters, let’s review what led us to this point when everything seemed cordial just moments ago,” Aron began rhetorically. Before anyone could respond, a video played, showing the two tree folks revealing their plans to kill and take over shortly before Aron had taken decisive action against them.

This revelation sent shivers down the spines of everyone watching, regardless of their power scale. None could match his speed and decisiveness, which was both awe-inspiring and intimidating.

“I understand that this video might seem abrupt and lacking context, but I won’t waste time elaborating on it right now. The full recording of the meeting will be released once we’ve dealt with the current situation,” Aron said, preemptively addressing any potential complaints from the Proximian side. He wasn’t concerned about his own side, as everyone present, barring the livestream viewers who couldn’t do anything anyway, were government employees.

“Now, for the Proximians, I understand that the sight of their actions might be daunting due to your respect for them or fear of their power. Let me assure you, I won’t be utilizing either your forces or mine to deal with them directly. Instead, I will handle it personally. What I need from you is to coordinate with the remaining three of your creators who are aligned with me to minimize the damage and ensure your safety. I don’t want their plans to cost you any more than necessary,” Aron said, addressing any fear or potential rebellion from the Proximians by clarifying his intentions and emphasizing their safety.

“You will receive...” Aron began, but he was interrupted by a sudden pause as he turned his head towards a distant point where the viewers could see nothing. “I was wondering why they weren’t revealing themselves,” he added, speaking in a lowered voice that was still audible to everyone.

“You’re making things harder for yourselves. Do you really think there’s a scenario where you come out as the winners?” about a hundred of the five thousand hovering soldiers spoke in unison.

“I should be the one asking you about the version of the information you’ve collected from both your people and mine. Did you ever see yourself winning?” Aron asked, engaging in the conversation. He saw no harm in speaking, as the longer it went on, the more benefits he gained. This delay worked in his favor since the other side had all the time to prepare.

While Aron was speaking, Nova tagged the hundred humanoids who spoke in unison. She pinged them with a single color, marking them as controlled by one of the two tree folks.

“You seem to have forgotten that there is a six-month buffer between us and your so-called formidable military that is still in construction, and currently, you’ve only brought about a million with you. One of us should be enough to deal with you,” another group of humanoids spoke in unison. “That’s why I’m wondering why those three betrayed us.”

As they spoke, Nova quickly tagged this new group with the same color as the first batch, noting the speaking patterns and recognizing some from the previous group.

“HAHAHAHAHA!” Aron couldn’t help but laugh at the statement and the naivety of the two tree folks.

His laughter seemed to irritate them. They immediately activated their magic cycles and launched a coordinated attack.

BOOOOOOOOOM
