Arisu Hanz began the meeting about the invasion. First Special Commanders and Vice Commanders were seriously looking at her as it was the situation where they needed to make a concrete plan of how they were going to win against the Rattin Kingdom.
Talking about the agonist Kingdom they could easily feel the tremendous pressure given by it. Why? They were just simply aware of all the people, and hybrid creatures included there were specially made to fight in the bloody war. So it was way impossible for them to win if they fight them face to face.
"Of course, we are going to fight them, lady Arisu! We can let them easily invade our village and annihilate all the creatures inhabiting here?" An old man that had a crack skin tone, white hair, white beard, and black eyes said in a high tone.
For Riku, this old man was acting hysterical since the meeting was started a few minutes ago, and now this man was shouting that it looked like he had an enemy in this room.
"Calm down, Elder Muckus, we are here to analyze the upcoming dilemma in this village. So I think it's better if we cool our heads a bit and share our ideas nonchalantly." Even though Arisu was pressured in this place for some reason, she still had the leadership to rule everyone.
Muckus, this old man was the First Special Commander of the Southern Section. He was 75 years old, but don't let your eyes fool you because even he was at that age, still, he was one of the strongest people in this village.
And all of a sudden, a woman with pink shiny hair and wearing silver-plated armor with black lining moved closer to Muckus. Also, by simply looking at her, Riku can say that this woman was the Vice-Commander of the Southern Section. Her name was Dianna Fret, her skin tone and face was looked the same as the Asian woman.
"Elder Muckus, you must lower your voice here. We are in the quiet room, lady Arisu, and the commanders are having a serious discussion. So I think it's best if you lower your voice while sharing your thoughts." Dianna informed him politely, then stepped back a little bit.
Seemingly Muckus listened to her as he was slowly getting back to his chair and started to listen in this meeting with his good manners.
"Let's get back in our discussion," Arisu said in a serious tone, then placed her elbows on the brown funnel and added. "Before you hear my suggestions about this huge invasion. I would like to hear yours so that no ideas would be wasted."
Well...
Riku mumbled as Arisu was quite right about her words. Or to be exact, if Arisu immediately tells about her plan, the other commanders' would surely fall back to say their suggestions. He admitted that he impressed this woman courage to face these people.
"Anyone?" Arisu asked them once again, so the discussion would officially start.
Meanwhile, a man with tan skin tone, white hair, bulk body, and had giant axe next to him raised his hand. Of course, it was one of the Commander and he was assigned at the Eastern Section.
"I'm Kaz Grand, I'm the First Special Commander of the Eastern Section." He introduced himself and bowed his head at her, to show how much he respected the King Luke's Daughter.
When the moment Arisu recognized his hand, she ordered him to stand up and tell everyone about his ideas. "What is it, Kaz? I'm happy to hear your suggestion." She politely, also, didn't expect that this was the first commander would say his suggestion since he used to be a silent one.
He stood up with a strong stance. "Thank you for this opportunity, lady Arisu." He bowed his head once again before adding along with a serious expression. "Since the Rattin Kingdom are heading to our village to invade us. Why don't try to ambush them while they are traveling in the vast green forest? Remember, that we have a high advantage since we already familiarized the forest where they are heading."
Riku was slowly kneading his chin, smiling broadly after hearing that useful suggestion. Well, it wasn't different from planting a land mine, but still, it can be worked out. In his opinion, if these people have the ability to do ambush a large group of numbers, they can surely attain victory.
"That's a good plan, Commander Kaz. But what exactly would you do to ambush them?" It piqued her attention as she thought this man's ideas can be useful.
"I plan to gather all our warriors to surround the areas where the Rattin Kingdom. After that, would fire our magical ability and fire arrows to easily kill them. Also, by doing this, we can enlarge our winning chance." Kaz said in a deep tone as he seemed to think about it as soon as the Rattin Kingdom declared a bloody war against their village.
"I don't think we can do that, Kaz." And all of a sudden, a young man with short blue hair, fearless red eyes, and wearing an upper armor and brown robe. His name was Luxus Qin, technically, he was looked, a Chinese citizen.
Kaz faced him nonchalantly, wanting to his reason why this man refused to do execute his plan. "Can you explain it to me, Luxus, so that I can understand why the plan couldn't work out?"
Luckily, these people weren't war freaks, as they wanted to hear each other reason to avoid any unexpected worst-case scenario. "The Rattin Kingdom suggested a blood war against our village a few days ago. What do you think they do that?" He paused for a couple of seconds, looking at everyone what would their answers to his question.
Aside from Riku, no one had any ideas in their minds. But Riku had no intention to say it since he had no permission to do that.
"You can blame me if I'm wrong but this is my opinion. The Rattin Kingdom can attack us without noticing it, right? This is a war so they can attack any village nor Kingdom whenever they wanted. So I think they do that to say that they are confident even they ambushed them, and yes! They are looking down at our village."
At this point, the place was enveloped in deafening silence as Luxus everything was loud and clear to them. He was certainly right since the attackers without confidence would surely attack when the defense was done.
Kaz and Luxus were back on their chairs. On the other hand, Kaz didn't pursue to continue his place, not because he was wrong, it just because Luxus got the whole point. "The Rattin Kingdom seems to prepare a counter-attack with the possible ambush." Kaz said, eventually bowing his head at Arisu. "Please forgive with my foolishness, lady Arisu. I never think that kind of scenario." He apologized while his head was reaching the brown funnel.
Moreover, Arisu won't mind that kind of opening in Kaz's plan. First of all, sharing everyone's ideas was the true purpose of this meeting. "Lift your head, you didn't need to apologize to me, you just simply share ideas there's nothing wrong about that." After that, she darted eyes at Luxus even the man behind him was the man who bothered her. "L-Luxus, do you have any ideas inside your head right now?" She stuttered as the man was staring at him with a malicious smile.
Luxus stood up once again, then gave his few nods. "I have an idea here, lady Arisu."
"Continue." Arisu replied, trying won't mind the person behind him.
"First, I think we needed to do first is to collect the right amount of food and evacuate all the people in this village to the furthest section which is my section. Second, we have to strengthen our defense inside the forest so that they can easily pass. Third, it's inevitable we have to fight them outside the village, once the plan works out and we can win against the Rattin Kingdom." Luxus said in a serious tone, then back to his chair to see Arisu's reaction to his plan.
Well, Riku impressed about his suggestion couldn't stop himself to smile, but one thing inside his mind that can increase their winning rate.
"That's a good idea, Luxus, I'm impressed how do you manage to think of this concrete plan in this type of situation." She complimented him, looked she was plotting for something before she tell her plan.
"Thank you very much for acknowledging my plan, lady Arisu." He responded, then leaned his back against the chair to hear the next statement coming from her.
"How about you, lady Arisu? Do you have any better ideas there? I think your plan is way better than commander Luxus." The Vice-Commander of Luxus said all of a sudden, as he looked won't bother even though he was having a conversation with her. "A precious person like you should know how we can win against the Rattin Kingdom."
"Hey, Giza! Close your mouth, don't respect a lady Arisu!" Luxus said in a high tone, kept apologizing to her.
"W-What? Y-Yes, I have a plan here.." She replied with an anxious expression.
