75 Agenda (2/2)
”Maria, you should go now. It is getting rather late, and I was planning to end the banquet itself very soon.” after seeing that Maria was being invited over by a group of her friends, the Chieftain allowed Maria to leave the banquet early.
As Maria left, Leo actually took her place next to the Chieftain and they spoke about many topics for the rest of the banquet before sending everyone back to their residence. However, the Chieftain brought Leo and his advisors back to his building so that they could discuss something extremely pressing.
”Chieftain, I sent a small squad out that specialized in offensive techniques to scout out the Spider Queen's territory. They unfortunately all perished, but one of them was able to notify us about new developments before passing away.” one of the advisors told the Chieftain as the rest of the room listened respectfully.
”According to him, the Spider Queen has started to take in more and more land and is slowly drawing closer to our village. There are no signs that she and her children are receiving any outside help at this moment, but it is very likely that within the year, she will be fighting us with her army of spiders.”
”If I may cut in, I also have something to report.” another advisor respectfully cutting in said as the Chieftain nodded his head in approval to hear what the other advisor had to say.
”Right now, it is safe to say that if the Spider Queen does not personally enter battle against us, that we have a chance to repel her forces.”
”Due to the new training regiments that every warrior in this village has started, if we also see a similar type of growth with the women who we now allowed to train, we may be outnumbered, but the quality of our warriors versus the average spider is rather vast.”
”If it were up to me, I would say that we should attack the bandits in the mountains very soon so that we could add their strength to ours. If we were to do this, our village would have a chance to annihilate the Spider Queen, instead of them killing us all.” the advisor explained as the Chieftain dismissed everyone except for Leo.
”I agree with them, but we both know that unless we are able to take that test my ancestors left for the village, everything else would be meaningless.” the Chieftain told Leo before continuing.
”If we took over the bandits before we were to take the test, it would endanger the whole village with me not being present. And if we were to meet any unexpected danger from the Spider Queen and her forces, the bandits would more than likely take advantage of the situation and enter our village without any resistance left.”
”I am counting on your plan so that I can save my people from annihilation. Though I would be willing to put myself in a dangerous position if it meant success, I appreciate that you are willing to be gravely injured just to help our village further.”
WIth that, the Chieftain discussed some minor problems that the village was still dealing with before sending him back to his residence for the rest of the night.
