5 Diplomatic… Something – 1 (2/2)

The old elder of the bear tribe, wit his enormous body, answered:

(bear elder): ”Even so, do you think that such powerful army would simply negotiate with us, a barely developed village?! If they wanted to attack we shouldn't be able to defeat them at all! We have to escape! Even if it's a shameful thing for my proud bear clan, I'd rather have them all survive!”

(Wolf): ”We can't run, if we do, we will never be able to rebuild. The fields, walls and houses cannot come with us.”

(raccoon elder): ”What do you suggest, patriarch?”

Asks the small raccoon tribe elder, and wolf scratches his head.

(Wolf): ”We should communicate with them and stablish a friendly relationship… we will be lucky if they don't try to enslave us.”

Before the elders could scram back, Wolf raised his hand.

(Wolf): ”I know how it sounds, and I know how all of you feel. But the survival of our families comes first. If they didn't come to attack us until now, they must not have that much interest in us. That's a good thing.

We should stablish a good relationship, and maybe even start trading. However, if they do choose to attack us, we, the elders and the older warriors should stay behind to delay them while the younger ones run away. They are the future of our clans and the beastman.”

The other elders wen silent for a moment. Seeing the feelings in their eyes, Wolf said:

(Wolf): ”Those who are in favor, raise their hands.”

Slowly, the elders rose their hands. There was no opposition.

(in the Command Center atop the cliff, two days later, Vladmir's POV)

I was lifting some weight while being watched by doctor Lyssa. While laying on the bench press, I raise the bar with twenty kilos in each side. Now I know definitely that god did something to this body. It's growth rate is too absurd, it gets stronger way too fast.

Doctor Lyssa isn't only observing because of her perversion since she has a blushing face, but also to follow the growth of my body. Although I'm not ripped, I'm starting to develop some muscle already, in a few days span since I started working out.

According to her, my body regenerates quicker than it should, and when I exercise, the damage that I do to my muscles is regenerated almost immediately, but it doesn't hinder my muscular growth like several days passed in a few instants.

I'm sweating heavily and my arms tremble a little, as I have been keeping this up for some time. as I put the weight down, I sit up and take the water bottle offered by the doctor.

(Vladmir): ”How is it, Doctor? Any observations?”

(Lyssa): ”Besides the perfection of form that makes me tingle…” she says something shameless without even blinking. ”Your growth, besides being abnormally fast, is not related to the aging of your body. Actually, I must say that your body is aging remarkably slowly, and your body is regenerating remarkably fast to the point it's visible to the naked eye.

Commander, if you don't mind, we could go to the lab and conduct a thorough check up on your body together with some tests…”

She says, a shameless smile creeping to her face behind the tablet in her hands, her cheeks turning crimson. This lewd woman… well, I don't hate it.

(Vladmir): ”Sure, but let's leave the fun after we are done with the serious tests, ok?”

(Lyssa): ”Yes, Commander.”

She nods. Suddenly, a voice resounds in the loudspeakers.

(marine): ”Commander, a group of armed beastman are stationed in front of the gate! They have stopped when we ordered through the loudspeaker, they don't seem aggressive! Awaiting further orders!”
