Chapter 368 - The Siege (Part-1) (2/2)

He took a deep breath as he began speaking, ”I was having a conference with the Chieftain from who I just learned that 10 tribes in the surrounding area including the Royal tribe whose vassal our host is, has been wiped out few of their survivors have joined our host and I believe many of you have seen their arrival seeking refuge.”, many of them nodded as some of them frowned thinking about where Ryuu was leading the conversation to, ”From them I have learned that they were attacked by something that they are calling 'Emperor' beast, according to them similar beast had attacked their ancestors long ago and had decimated a tribe with the strength of few hundred thousand.”, he stopped letting his words sink into their mind as he continued again, ”I know you have seen the strength of the members of this tribe as such you can safely guess its strength when the Chieftain simply told me to abandoned them to their fate and escape while it is still time.”

At his proclamation everyone was startled the entire clan was warrior like and respected strength for them to say something like that was worrisome for them as one of them suddenly broke down as she spoke, ”Is it going to be a repeat of the 2nd floor again.”

Ryuu simply nodded at that as he spoke, ”It might be.”

The room erupted into complete pandemonium as everyone was shouting as a good few decided to abandon and run from this place.

”SHUT UP!!!!!”, a shout came from True-Spear who slammed his spear hard as he spoke, ”You want to run, then please do so but where will you go? At least if we stay here at least we will have number enough to hold them off and who said we have to win we simply have to fend them for a week and then we could run but in the desert we will die for sure.”

As the mood plummeted Ryuu spoke with a vicious smirk on his face, ”I have a plan.”

Zywia's eyes narrowed at the smirk before it widen in horror as she shouted out, ”No NO, never the last time you had that smirk you cause a super volcano to erupt.”

Ryuu pouted as he spoke, ”How would I know that the volcano was active.”

Zywia screamed in anger, ”THAT WAS A DORMANT VOLCANO!!!!!”

Ryuu waved of her concern as others gained a shocked look on their face as he spoke, ”Meh that is not important.”

Zywia was about to rant at him but Ryuu stopped her by placing a map in front of everyone as he began speaking again, ”Well this is the map of the place which was graciously provided to me, along with command of their rune carvers and potineers and in fact if any of you do not know what I meant, rune carvers are array master and potioneers are alchemist.”

As he placed the map on top of table that he was placed near him, a three dimensional model erupted as he began speaking, ”Is there anyone amongst you knowledgeable on Array weaving?”

Many of them frowned as one of the spoke with a gasp, ”That is very high level technique, said to be impossible to learn, you know it?”, his voice had a touch of awe in it as he looked towards Ryuu.

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Yes, I know Array weaving is a very obscure subject with limited application as such many do not venture into it, basically I along with the help of array masters will have place 367 arrays around this place, the array diagram will be the one which I would provide then I would link them to create a giant barrier, a barrier which would entice our enemy to enter and as soon as they would step inside it they would get slaughtered, now I would want alchemists to work in tandem with us to supply us with poison that will spread towards the enemy further crippling the invading horde.”

True-Spear frowned as he spoke, ”Will your barrier hold them for a week.”

Ryuu gave him a small reassuring smile as he spoke, ”Of course it will hold.”

”Just as long as you do not make a volcano to erupt brother Ryuu.”, came a voice which made Ryuu to stumble as others broke into laughter.
