"What I'm curious about is who unified the tribes in the Earthen Woods?" Sixth Head said while tapping his finger on the table.
"According to the report a huge battle occurred in the Earth Woods a week ago before they launched an invasion in our land." Governor Ray swept his eyes across everyone. "A man called Face Changing Demon stirred the best of the tribes. The battle shook a large number of tribes and it led to the death of seven One Shackle Realm experts. In the end, a Two Shackles Realm expert appeared and fought the Face Changing Demon."
The battle was too huge and a lot of people were caught up in it, resulting in severe casualties of over ten thousand people. The two fought fiercely and the Face Changing Demon even managed to injure the Two Shackles Realm expert by using a very powerful technique. After that, a powerful tribe appeared and used the opportunity to unify all the tribes.
What happened to the Face Changing Demon?
He should be dead after getting surrounded by hundreds of powerful experts.
The tribe that surrounded him said that they killed him.
"That happened in Earthen Woods?! As expected the Hall Plains isn't peaceful right now." Fifth Head exclaimed.
"So what is the name of the tribe that appeared?" Ninth Head asked.
"The Four-Armed Tribe... They belong to Four-Armed Race." Governor Ray answered.
"Four-Armed Race?! They said that the Four-Armed demi is comparable to the human race's Barbarian!" Ninth Head was slightly shocked.
The others were also stunned at this information. It was hard to believe but they have no choice but to accept it.
"Yeah, I didn't even know that a group Four-Armed people are hiding in the Earthen Woods. From the looks of it, they are staying in that land for a long time." Governor Ray said with a sigh.
"We shouldn't ignore the other cities if our enemies are the Four-Armed Race! We should take them down as soon as possible! Those selfish bastards will only become obstacles if we let them be!" Ninth Head said in a strong tone.
"Oh, it means that you want..." Fourth Head raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Yes, I think it's time for the Dragon Council to take over the entire Mine Valley! Let's unify the Mine Valley!" Ninth Head said.
Governor Ray closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked at everyone. "Okay, let's do that. Let's cast a vote right now if everyone approves of this decision."
"I have no problem with it." Fourth Head grinned.
"Me too."
"Yeah, our enemy is an entire region so we should also unify our region."
The rest of the Heads agreed with the decision.
"It seems that no one had a problem with our next course of action. Then, Ninth Head along with the Fifth Head and Sixth Head will conquer the remaining two cities. The Second Head and Seventh Head's forces had conquered the White Wheat City, leaving the two cities. So we will start by conquering those two." Governor Ray said slowly so that everyone could understand.
No one had a problem with this arrangement. They unanimously agreed with this plan.
The Heads exchanged a few more words before they concluded the meeting. Eight Head and Fourth Head quickly departed. They would go to the battlefield as soon as possible to launch a fierce attack against the enemy's formation.
Third Head sent some of her people to Ekatoe City to deliver the message of the Nine Heads.
Ninth Head, Fifth Head, and Sixth Head also departed to start the plan to unify the Mine Valley. While the two Heads were dealing with the invader, the three of them would deal with the problem inside the region.
...
Ekatoe City.
Alice just received the message. The Nine Heads wanted Souta to return since they have an important business with him. They said it was a classified information so he would only know it once he went to Bland City.
At the same time, the details of the next course of action of the Dragon Council were written on the back of the letter.
"So they are planning to unify the Mine Valley?" Alice rubbed her chin.
It seems that the invasion of the tribe forced them to make this decision. It's better to deal with the opponent inside first as to avoid getting stabbed in the back. Souta would also make the same decision.
Alice took out the transmission talisman and tried to connect it to Souta. It took her half an hour before she got connected to Souta.
"Are you busy, Souta? You didn't answer my call at all." Alice asked. She have no idea what he was doing right now. She just knew that he disguised himself and joined some school of experts to investigate the matters of the Spring Land.
"Yeah, I'm very busy... But what made you call me? I thought I said that I leave everything in your care. You don't have to call me. Just make a decision for yourself. Even if it's good or bad, the most important thing is experience." Souta's voice sounded through the transmission talisman.
"I'm sorry, it's just that the Nine Heads wanted you to come back. They said that it is a classified information so they can't tell me. So when are you going to come back?" Alice asked.
"I don't know. Tell them that I left everything in you, your words will be equivalent to my words. I'm still in the middle of an ancient ruin so I won't be able to come back. Also, I will visit the Murder Society after this." Souta said.
"I understand..." Alice nodded.
"Thanks, bye. I'll come back later after I settled everything here so send my regards to everyone." Souta said before he cut the call.
Alice sighed as she stared at the transmission talisman in her hands. So he still left all the decisions to her.
"He just said that he is inside an ancient ruin and will visit the Murder Society soon. Where did he find the headquarters of those guys?"
She muttered before she stood up from her seat.
"He cut the call. He didn't even ask what is the current situation."
She called one of her people and asked to deliver a letter to the Dragon Council. Since Souta already said it, she would stand as acting City Lord while he was gone. Her words were equivalent to Souta himself.
She wondered what the Dragon Council would think once they read her letter.
She walked towards the window and stared outside. The people of Astros were busy, including her. She didn't even have a time to continue her training.
Torkez was better than her at managing an organization but he had a different job. He was searching for a way to cultivate the king of parasites so that they could reproduce this type of lifeform. Once he completed this task, everyone in the Astros would be able to gain the power of the parasite.
"I'll find an assistant later."
Alice said before she turned around.
...
A beautiful woman with long red hair was standing in front of a stone monument. She had red lips, plump breasts, and her body was covered in a white dress that couldn't conceal her slender figure.
She was Amanda.
In front of her, the stone monument was half destroyed. Every second, she would look at the monument and then glance at the book in her hands. Her right arm was covered in bloody bondage.
Standing behind her were a man and a woman named Jason and Lindi. They were a couple that Amanda met on her journey to the central region of the Hall Plains. Jason and Lindi were married for ten years and they were both archeologists.
"Are you sure you are fine?" Lindi asked worriedly.
"Yeah, there's nothing to worry about." Amanda smiled and shook her head.
Amanda and Souta joined different small schools in Spring Land. But after a week of joining the school, the school that she chose was destroyed by an unknown organization. She fought fiercely and she almost died trying to escape from those guys.
Luckily, Lindi and Jason found her and they helped her recover a little bit of her strength. Until now, she hasn't recovered her peak and even her parasite was exhausted.
She joined their journey and arrived in the central region of the Hall Plains. What they found here was much worse than the Spring Land. The chaos here was several times larger than the Spring Land and Mine Valley.
It was an all-out war in this region.
"Looking that this remains... The legend are true..." Amanda muttered while observing the half-destroyed stone monument.
"According to our research that children's story is true..." Jason said as he opened the book in his hand. "Once upon a time, an expert appeared in this land and spread various spells and combat arts. It's the starting point of the Hall Plains according to the children's fairy tale."
"Mostly, fairy tales are half truth so we need to find clues that will make light of it," Lindi added.
"Yeah, the Hall of Power... They are the ones that started it." Amanda nodded.
