Chapter 24：Heavenly Lightning Tribe Affairs (2/2)

”Report?”

One word and one of those in the front kneeled in front of him.

”During your absence, 10 more small tribes chose to subordinate themselves to us. 1 medium tribe from the north also expressed their willingness but they have a request.”

”What is it?”

”They want the Lightning Chieftain to repel the foreign invaders near their land.”

Foreign invaders? Not barbarians? So those are the troops from the Invading World?

”How large are the numbers of those invaders?”

”Almost the same size as them. Actually, they've been constantly being attacked by them since a week ago.”

A week ago? Then that tribe. They're already destroyed, aren't they?

”Forget about them.”

Raiden gave his decision. He's about right at doing that. But yeah, he should at least send some scouts, right? Aren't those invaders the reason why you are here?

This guy…

”That ends my report.”

The reporter stood up and went back to his place. Then another one kneeled in front of Raiden.

”During your absence, we recruited 50 Augmented Realm, 1000 Mortal Realm to the army. No additional Saint Realm.”

”How's their training? Have they been integrated into our military system?”

Even though he's someone who's looking down from above, looks like he has some knowledge about leading and organizing this large tribe of his. By putting these guys to do the work for him, it simplified the process.

But is he aware of how risky this type of management? I don't know a lot about it but just by thinking with this high clarity of mine, problems can easily be inserted into this type of management. Even if they're totally loyal to him, they will exert their influence on their departments, especially this guy managing the military. Since he's nonchalant about it, maybe he already has a countermeasure for that.

Did he know about the Corrupted Individuals? If someone like this guy got corrupted, his army will be disoriented. I'll remind him later just in case.

”Yes. Our military now boasts a total of 6000 Mortal Realm, 300 Augmented Realm and 25 Saint Realm. That's only for tribe members dedicated to fighting, all barbarians can be called to fight if the need arises. And the number reported doesn't include the subordinate tribes under us.”

”Old Man Reol, is this enough?”

He nodded then looked at the same Old Man which is probably someone he left in charge for the tribe whenever he went back on Earth.

Old Man Reol looked like an elderly already but he's most possibly the strongest among these barbarians here.

I counted and there are only 16 who are giving off the same pressure as those four earlier, including Old Man Reol. They're all Saint Realm. The others here who are not giving off the same pressure are just officials he put for administrative positions.

Coming here with him is really informative. I got to know how strong his tribe is currently and he's still the strongest one, he wouldn't be the Chieftain if he's not the strongest. Well, maybe that Old Man can beat him if he doesn't use his ability. That's a cheat after all.

”Yes. The pressure from that tribe lessened when we disseminate the information about our current military might.”

That tribe? So his tribe is currently in conflict with another large tribe?

This is probably why he immediately dumped the idea of bothering about that medium tribe.

”Then let's end this here for now. You all can go back. You and you, stay.”

Hearing him, most of them bowed and left the Great Hall except the two he pointed at and Old Man Reol. Well, I'm here as well.

This guy was also doomed to die here, there's a huge possibility that someone from his own followers and subordinates harbors hatred towards him.

The Principal told me that just my existence already changed that outcome and I can do anything I want. But this System I got only gain experience from Supporting those I listed in it, I need to level it up to add more.

There's also a risk letting this guy continue his attitude of looking down at people. If he grows stronger, he will feel himself more special and in the end, he will look down even to the denizens of Earth. Instead of a Hero, he'll become a Villain. I need to curb that attitude of him. My parents live on Earth so it's not good if they got implicated if I let this guy grow into that menace.

For now, I don't have the means. I guess I also need to lay my foundation here.

And to do that, I need to build a tribe that can grow to rival him. If my strength catches up with him, I'll challenge him and take him down a peg.

That's easier said than done but I have to start somewhere. I'll ask him to hand one small tribe for me to manage. I'll lay my foundation while supporting him using that, killing two birds with one stone.

It will be better if Yuko is here too but that's impossible.

”Daisuke, I'm going to start a war.”

Raiden's sudden words wake me up from my thoughts.

This guy...
