Talk Among The Higher Ups

"Is it true that Lulk is dead?"

"Yes, he is. I saw his body with my own eyes"

"Speaking of Lulk, I heard it wasn't the work of an animal but instead, It was the works of a person that is from a different tribe"

"Stop being silly. We haven't had someone gotten killed by someone else in years"

"Well whatever it is, I just feel bad for the wife as well the kid. It will grow up with no father"

The news of a dead body shocked everyone in the Frezze tribe and has been a major talk around the tribe as having someone died was a rare Occurrence.

But this time, this singular body had gathered up all of the strongest people and the higher-ups in the tribe to come together which has only occurred once, since the first making of the tribe which was 121 years ago

Having all of the higher-ups in the Tribe come together also shocked the people of the tribe. So all of the Tribe members decided one thing they need to do. Which is to hear the conversation between the higher-ups

"Hey let us in you fool!"

"Yeah! We deserve to hear what happened to Lulk!"

"Damn it, stop leaving us in the dark!"

But as you can guess, a multitude of guards were guarding the entrance so the ever so curious tribesmen wouldn't hear the conversation between the higher-ups. They were even ordered to use force if necessary if they even think about going in forcefully.

So while all of this chaos was happening outside, inside a certain building that the guards were guarding, almost a total of 11 people were sitting down on the floor. Due to the number of people that were here, they didn't have a big enough table to support everyone here, so they decided to sit on the marble-like floor.

The floor may have seemed comfortable, but the clear expression on their faces wasn't that of someone who is enjoying their seat, but instead was someone who's uncomfortable with their spot as some of them had a hint of discomfort plastered across their face.

The Elder, who was the only one in a chair, was looking at everyone with the eyes of a leader but at the same time a man who cared deeply about them all and the Tribe.

"Now then, let us begin our second big meeting since the making of the Frezze tribe" Hearing those words, everyone's attention was now focused even more deeply towards the Elder

"As you may or may not have known, one of our tribesmen died a sad death and I feel deeply sorry for Angela and Lena for the death of their loved one" The Elder said while looking at a singular old lady, who had a clear expression of anger and sadness shown on her face

"But that's not what we are here for today. Instead, we are here regarding the matter of what Lulk said before his death"

"If you may Licor"

"Yes, elder!" Licor said while getting away from his guarding position

"I'll be quick so I wouldn't waste any time. Lulk said clearly to me that the Disturzone Tribe were the ones behind all of this"

Hearing the words of Licor, every one of their eyes went as wide as they could from the information they just heard

"Thank you, Licor. As you may have known, we made a peace treaty with the Disturzone Tribe due to them having powerful warriors. The good thing is, they didn't want a war between the both of us so we stick to the peace treaty for the survival of our Tribe"

"But if what if Lulk said is true, then we have to prepare to fig-"

"Wait!" A man said, cutting off the Elder "There's a chance that one of their own might have gone rogue. We can't assume they are declaring war"

"Shuto, I'll forgive you just this once for interrupting me so everyone, stop giving him a killing glare" The elder order

All of them did just that and the man name Shuto, who had interpreted the Elder, let out a deep sigh of relief

"Now then, *Ahem* I never said they were declaring war upon us, I only said there's a chance that they might"

"So we got to make sure if they are declaring war upon us. But we must not tell them if they are or not or else we might die, even if they didn't declare war in the first place"

"I have a question" a woman said while raising her hand like a child "Why do us and the other Tribes fear the Disturzone Tribe so much?"

"I can tell you are new here since you don't know such information. Well, I will tell you this, first of all, they are the current oldest tribe that we know of, and second, one time a tribe tried invading them, so can any of you guess what was the casualties of the Distruzione Tribe?" The Elder asked a question to the current people in the room

"20 casualties or around there maybe?"

"Nope, they had 0 casualties when fighting against the enemy Tribe"

"What, That's nonsense!"

"*Sigh* I already give you a warning for interrupting me Shuto so once this meeting is over, I'll give you a proper punishment" The Elder had a clear expression of anger, so much so it terrified Shuto to keep his mouth shut

"I don't know if they were exaggerating or not, but during a meeting involving trade with their elder, I asked them about this and he told me it was true"

"Really?"

"Yes, also another thing I must point out. Although I didn't hear this from the elder themselves, I've been hearing rumors among the higher-ups there that they now have a secret weapon to turn the tide of war"

"Although the Elder and the other higher-ups denied such nonsense, I couldn't help but be skeptical that they really do have a secret weapon"

"Well Elder, there's a chance they really don't have a secret weapon"

"Yes I know Leo, but if they really do have just a weapon then their already strong forces would have increased even more"

"If that's the case then we must ally with other Tribes to take care of them"

"Don't be stupid, it's obvious they would side with the Distruzione tribe"

"Well, what should we do then Shuto? Wait and kill us"

"No of course not but if we told them that the disturzone is going to attack us, they wouldn't give a shit anywa-"

"Be quiet the both of you" The clear anger coming out of Lena's voice shut up both Leo and Shuto

"Thank you, Lena" The Elder thank while looking at her "We must not tell the other Tribes what is currently happening, well at least for now."

"If what Lulk said turn out to be true then that means this problem will also be happening to them as well but we must wait until that time comes"

"What if that time never comes?"

"*sigh* Just have faith will you, I guarantee that I will come, and once that time does come, they will come to us for help if they are desperate enough or we will come to them. Understood?"

""Yes""

"Good, Now then let us start preparing just in case"

""Yes Elder!""
