79 Chapter 79: Strange Strategis (1/2)

After passing the inner gates, a huge courtyard appeared in front of Caesar… fake mountains, ponds, and other forms of eye candy presented themselves.

Not only was the courtyard luxurious, but also heavily guarded… Fierce looking guards were stationed all over the place, they held one-handed swords and looked extremely skilled.

'At first glance, this tribe looked utterly pathetic… perhaps that's because of the incompetent leadership?' Caesar thought inwardly as he glanced around.

While Caesar was observing the inner working of the tribe, Joe, Ahri, Khan, and Charlie all had caught up with him.

”Don't run off on your own, sir strategist… The guards could mistake you for a trespasser” Khan patted Caesar's shoulder and spoke in a serious tone.

”I'll be more careful next time” Caesar replied back with a smile, after which, he subtly glanced at Charlie who shivered under his gaze.

”Haha, no harm, no foul.” Khan laughed loudly and patted Caesar on the back.

Caesar actually quite liked Khan's naive and honest personality, he much preferred this type of person over someone that schemes behind his back.

”We should hurry along, the clan leaders have already been called to a meeting” Ahri cut in while glancing anxiously at the large mansion in the middle.

”Haha, I know you're anxious to see your grandfather… let's hurry up then” Khan replied with a wide smile and led them closer to the opening of the mansion.

As they got closer, Caesar couldn't help but admire the architectural design of the building, it was held up by wooden pillars and a solid foundation… the Japanese-like mansion could easily house over 100 people.

While still deep in thought, they arrived in front of a wide sliding door… Ahri walked to the front and Khan respectively opened the door.

Caesar, who was to the right of Ahir squinted his eyes once he saw what was inside… A large round table with 13 people sitting at each seat, each of them varying in appearance greatly. At the very end of the table, hidden by a thin piece of fabric was another man, presumably Ahri's grandfather.

'Each and every one of these men is at least equal to a B+ monster' Caesar speculated,

”Come, my daughter, sit” A deep and majestic voice resounded through the halls, the man hidden behind the thin fabric gestured to the seat beside him.

Ahri nodded respectfully and slowly walked towards her seat, upon arriving, she elegantly sat down and smiled widely while looking in the direction her grandfather was seated.

”Khan, find your seat” the man spoke once again, this time, the age in his voice was very apparent.

Khan slightly bowed and took a seat at the very end of the table, once they were both seated, the rest of the people at the table focused their attention toward Caesar.

”I presume you are the strategist my daughter found?” The man asked curiously.

”Your presumption is correct, please call me Caesar,” he said respectfully whilst half-bowing elegantly.

”It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Ceasar, my name is Musashi” the man introduced himself politely just as Caesar did to him.

Caesar nodded his head in recognition, to those worthy of respect, of course, Caesar would give it.

”Come sit down Charlie” A man at the very end of the table rudely interrupted the two, he had long flowing red hair and a decently sized beard… his features couldn't be considered young but they were by no means elderly.

”Yes, father!” Charlie responded enthusiastically and walked over to the seat his father had motioned to.

Musashi who was sitting the furthest away slowly stood up, he pushed aside the thin blankets of cloth hiding his face and walked towards the roundtable. In his hands was a large scroll that he started to spread out in the middle of the table.

”I do, in fact, trust my daughters fore-sight, however, I am quite curious as to how great of a strategist you are” Musashi spoke slowly while flattening the map on the board.

Caesar examined the map which was being placed down by Musashi, many different clan names, terrain, and other necessities were in vivid detail.

”The main problems our fox-kin tribe currently faces are the trolls and the food shortage… our soldiers are indeed stronger than the trolls, however, they are more cunning and larger in number” Musashi calmly explained.

Caesar nodded his head in understanding, he walked closer to the roundtable to get a better view of the map.
