Chapter 232 The Meeting of Gods! Part-4.
"If it's about guarding and patrolling, then we Beast folk are willing to send one of our SS-rankers..." (Beast Folk Representative)
The representative of the beast tribe said in a calm and confident tone as he stared into Ryul's eyes. (Yeah, cat girls exist in this world too...)
There are several major tribes and they are currently ruled by beast overlords.
Overlords is a title in the beast folk given to only those who reach rank SS.
Their technology is significantly less developed compared to Humans, but they are not to be underestimated either.
There's an old saying: 'The most amount of berserkers are always found in the Beast people's army!'
They have several major tribes like the Fox tribe, Feline tribe, etc, but all of these tribes are jointly ruled by Overlords.
The Beast folk are located on a much smaller continent located in the northeast of the Elven Empire. They share their small continent with Dwarfs and other weaker races.
The human continent is located in the northwest area direction of the Elven Empire, Demon continent is near the southwest area of the Elven Empire.
The now-ruined Maya continent is located far to the west of the Human Empire.
"But in return we expect more dungeon rewards to be tilted on our side around this time... we have some talented children to take care of after all..." (Beast Folk Representative)
There's no free lunch, after all, the beast folk representative agreed to come forward and send one of their SS-rankers on this dangerous job, it was all for the sake of getting more resources.
Although the other SS-rankers didn't particularly like this approach, they also understood the situation and no one objected to this.
Ryul and Ashtel nodded their heads, which means the proposal of the beast folk representative was approved.
Then Ashtel spoke next:
"From our side, We will send Neo on this mission, with his vast monster army, it would be much better to send him on this scouting mission..." (Ashtel)
"Also we don't need any major resources for this work, we just hope everyone can cooperate in this time of difficulty..." (Ashtel)Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
The human race is located on the biggest continent of this planet and out of all the dungeons that open in the whole solar system, nearly twenty-five percent are solely controlled by humans.
Thus, they have no shortage of resources, waging a hundred years of war is no big deal for them nowadays, they are fully self-sufficient. (The war experiences gained during the thousand-year war are no joke...)
The representatives of other races nodded their heads in approval and praised Ashtel's decision a lot.
"As the head of the alliance, we will be sending two of our SS-rankers to this mission... as for the compensation, we will loosen the burden on our world tree this time..." (Ryul)
Hearing Ryul's words, nearly all of the representatives were shocked, they all knew that Ryul was trying to cut off their opportunity to get benefits from the world tree.
But before they could say anything, Ryul continued:
"We need to prepare and give ample rest to the world tree, a new war is right upon us, I would ask you all to understand our situation and give us face..." (Ryul)
In simple words, Ryul was saying them to 'F*ck off! We gonna keep all benefits to ourselves during the next few years!'.
All the other representatives wanted to severely criticize Ryul's actions, but no one dared to say anything.
After all, all cards are in Ryul's favor right now, he has no one to restrain and even the strongest person Ashtel is his friend so there is no opposition.
'The strongest people might get to enjoy a lot of benefits in peaceful times, but when the hard times come, they are the first to suffer...'
Each of the SS-rankers present here in this meeting represents the hopes and dreams of millions of people, and each of them carries the weight of responsibility to protect their people and hometown.
None of them will back off when it comes to protecting the survival of their race.
The representatives of the weaker races may fear the power that Ashtel and Ryul hold, but none of them will back off if they are pushed too much.
Ashtel and Ryul both know this fact, thus they dare not make the whole alliance their opponent.
'Even the Biggest Mountain may collapse under the collective will for survival'
...
"Okay, these were the major matters, the rest are all minor matters that need to be addressed now..." (Ryul)
The major matters for the alliance include any upcoming war or the strange behaviors of the demon race.
On the other hand, minor matters include, 'How many resources to distribute to a certain race', 'Which race to put on the outer edge patrol duty during the next decade', 'Which race should trade their rarer resources in the next decade', etc.
All these matters are also discussed in this meeting.
The duties of various races for the next decade are decided in this meeting with the tacit approval of everyone.
The situation of conflict in interests arrives sometimes but with the advice provided by so many SS-rankers, it's quite easy to solve most of the problems.
With the thinking capabilities of so many SS-rankers combined, there are very few problems that can't be solved.
This amazing harmony and this amazing mutual understanding between so many SS-rankers, who barely even know each other is indeed a sight to behold.
Being able to cooperate like this on such a large scale, perhaps that is the reason why they were all able to avoid extinction from the endless onslaught of the monsters and demons.
