With the state of affairs about to explode at any second, although it was worrying that the Gamers being away from the Lengthy-Ears’ settlement was worrying for his or her chief and elders, they finally determined to contact the opposite herbivorous nonhuman tribes. Regardless that they didn’t know concerning the glorious diplomatic resolution of ‘the enemy of my enemy is buddy’ that was by no means outdated for again Earth even after 1000’s of years, however they nonetheless understood the essential precept of ‘there’s energy in numbers’.

After all, they might not ship out too a giant group. In spite of everything, the Lengthy-Ears’ inhabitants was dwindling in the intervening time, and there could be no enough forces to defend their dwelling in the event that they despatched out too many because the Gamers had but to return.

In reality, the Gamers who have been stationed on the Western Continent have been now lots fewer than the beginning, since life right here had develop into uninteresting after destroying the Tigermen’s fortress. There have been solely every day quests to do even when they stayed right here.

Furthermore, every day quests with Lengthy-Ears tribe was fairly low in rewards but troublesome, which was lots much less engaging in comparison with the Unnamed City, the elven capital and even the frogpeople’s village.

Although they might encounter many nonhumans on explorations, all of them could be impartial. With all wild animals and whatnot being captured and eaten, there was no monsters to battle both.

That was why except for Zonyan and some others who have been nonetheless farming the great graces of the Lengthy-Ears, most Gamers had returned to the Jap Continent for different quests.

It was additionally why though the seven-days feast that Angora had organized was over, many of the Gamers returned to their work on the Jap Continent, however nearly none got here to the Lengthy-Ears’ settlement on the Western Continent.

However that was apart from the purpose.

Both approach, the Lengthy-Ears lacked numbers and couldn’t ship out too lots of their very own to debate an alliance with the opposite docile nonhumans. Furthermore, they have been one of many oldest nonhuman tribe—the opposite tribes have been maintaining a tally of them regardless of having cornered them to such determined straits, and any main motion makes them susceptible to these violent tribes’ ambush.

In reality, if the Hyena-men and the Tigermen weren’t worn out and the opposite meat-eating nonhuman tribes didn’t develop into conscious of their backing, they most likely would have come for the Lengthy-Ears way back!

That was why the Lengthy-Ears’ chief finally determined to ship Rangka and Laybit to hunt an alliance with the opposite nonhuman tribes.

Being the second-in-command of the Lengthy-Ears and having a say in issues, Rangka might make an oath within the chief’s stead if crucial. Whereas he was no match for the Gamers (second-rate or above), he had some extent of accomplishment in martial sorcery, and was one of many elites of the tribe.

As for Laybit, he would work as Rangka’s helper whereas gaining some data within the developments of the surface world. Because the son of the present tribe chief, he could possibly be saved as a hostage in one other tribe if crucial, in order that they might don’t have any worries whereas working with the Lengthy Ears.

If it was prior to now, the Lengthy-Ears tribe chief would undoubtedly inform Rangka to attempt to declare management over the alliance. In spite of everything, since that they had martial sorcery and have been one of many oldest nonhuman tribe, they’d don’t have any downside being the boss of the alliance.

However now, that was pointless since irrespective of which tribe was the boss, they must hearken to the Gamers as soon as they return.

If any tribe proved to be cussed… they should have seen what had befallen the Hyena-men and the Tigermen, no? It will be a light-weight punishment in the event that they have been strung up and overwhelmed because the Gamers might blow up your tribe into mud. You can rely on that!

At first, the alliance talks have been regarded as a problem and will take a moderately very long time, however the Curly-Horns instantly agreed to the alliance when Rangka and Laybit arrived at their village and made their intentions recognized.

The explanation for that was the Curly-Horns’ village had been closest to the Vierlin Plains after they have been banished. In different phrases, the Sheeple would the primary victims as soon as the meat-eating nonhumans there lose management.

As a matter of reality, considered one of their very own was already eaten.

“I didn’t think about that you’d be this understanding that you’d conform to the alliance so simply, chief of the Curly-Horns.” Rangka’s apprehensiveness was alleviated significantly. “Along with your management, I’m positive the friendship of our tribes would final a very long time!”

“Maybe you consider that we’re cowards, Mister Rangka.” The chief of the Curly-Horns tribe sighed.

“No approach. I maintain absolute respect for you!” Rangka mentioned, tapping his chest.

That was when he realized that it was a moderately crude and rude gesture on his half, and couldn’t assist muttering inwardly that he was contaminated by the rugged and daring manners of the Gamers…

“We’ve despatched somebody to concern a powerful protest with the Grayclaw tribe.”

The Curly-Horns chief, nevertheless, paid that indiscretion no heed. Seated on the foremost chair, there was an unpleasant look on his face as he advised Rangka, “However this morning, solely that clansman’s incomplete corpse was returned to us!”

“Wha…” Rangka was shocked.

“The Grayclaw tribesman who introduced the corpse to us claimed that that they had run into some beasts on the way in which, however the chew marks clearly weren’t from abnormal beasts!” The Curly-Horns chief snorted. “Furthermore, each beast within the Vierlin Plains was most likely eaten by the meat-eating nonhumans… if they might nonetheless be known as that!”

“That’s actually…” Rangka racked his brains, however was unable to discover a phrase for the unrestrained conduct of these nonhumans, and will solely shake his head. “So horrible.”

No surprise the Curly-Horns would conform to the alliance so simply—their whole tribe had lengthy since develop into unhinged with a member of their tribe being eaten, and twice at that.

“In just a few days, I’d transfer our tribe in order that we could possibly be as near the Lengthy-Ears tribe as potential. I hope you may inform your chief about that, Mister Rangka, in order that your tribe might accommodate us.”

The Curly-Horns’ chief sighed again-it was upsetting to go away your own home, however it was nonetheless higher than being worn out.“Understood. I shall go away proper now.”

Rangka didn’t hesitate. He shared the Curly-Horns’ horrific expertise, since he too nearly had his whole tribe being worn out by the meat-eating nonhumans, and wouldn’t complain even when must work arduous a bit.

“Oh, earlier than that, might you carry alongside Woolsprout, my youngest daughter? It’s possible you’ll simply think about her a hostage.” The Curly-Horns’ chief all of a sudden mentioned.

Rangka and Laybit shared a look.

Whereas they didn’t anticipate the Curly-Horns’ chief to share their intentions, there was additionally a change in perspective: as a substitute of calling the chief’s daughter a hostage, bringing her alongside was extra like defending her now.

Regardless that the Lengthy-Ears have been good at sprinting and moved rapidly regardless of having issues with their stamina, they’d undoubtedly transfer lots slower if that they had a Sheeple with them.

Rangka was about to refuse, just for Laybit to reply earlier than he might.

“No downside. Go away it to us!”
