Chapter 399: Planning Before Battle
Chapter 399: Planning Before Battle
For the next few minutes, Vanessa and the other three tigers made things clear to Zach. They explained the involvement of three divine beings who helped them to carry out this battle of revenge.
"I can understand. I fully support that action if you are confident that you can win this battle of revenge. However, this involves three divine beings on our side and a Beast God on the other side, huh... It's like we literally? betrayed our own race." Zach nodded in understanding, but there was no hint of hatred or anger in his eyes. Just excitement and enthusiasm.
After saying that, Zach shook his head and smiled affectionately at his daughter. "You've had a hard day, my daughter, Vanessa. Good luck, and I will always be with you from now on."
"Mm." Vanessa nodded and lay on the ground. She got a head pat from her father, what a joy.
Then, Zach frowned to look at his son. "And what's with you, the stupid son of mine? How could you die so stupidly on the Human Continent even though going to that place is forbidden, and you know that huh? You even left your big sister, Theo, and Leila without a word."
"Ah-uh, sorry. Let's just say my trial period to live in this world is over. Let's see on the bright side, my death caused my big sister to come to a Goddess, and that also made her the Goddess's contracted beast." Jimmy scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Sigh... If you continue like this, I will be more surprised if you live a long and prosperous life. Let's hope that in your next life, You will be blessed with better quality of mind and brain." Zach covered his face with his little paw. In his mind, he was almost hesitant to admit this stupid tiger as his son.
"So, that's what happened, my lord. The Winged Tiger Clan only has about sixteen tigers left, and they are all the Pyrogressive Lion Clan vassals. A peaceful and luxurious life has killed their ferocious tiger instincts." Theo conveyed his conclusion, considering the appointed time was almost here.
"Yeah, it's disappointing to know that our clan was destroyed after my death. The tigers that were once brave and fierce have now become tame cats for the fire lions. However, it's their decision. I can't say anything." Zach looked up at the sky to mourn his clan's decline.
"Alas, we can no longer regard the clan as our own. We are only left with this small family. Theo, Leila, I want you to come with Vanessa and help the divine with whatever it is. Let me discipline my son in due course of time." Zach gave a suggestion that sounded like an order.
Theo and Leila looked at each other. They nodded and answered in unison. "We understand. We will seek the divine's permission for it after this battle of revenge."
After that, Zach replied with a nod. Then, he hit his son's head because he was annoyed to see his son's stupid expression.
"Ow-wow! It doesn't hurt." Jimmy held his head and pretended to whimper in pain, but that sounded like scorn to Zach.
"I'll teach you more lessons later. Wait for me because I'll be the one looking for you, hum!" After saying that, Zach left his spot to walk over to the Goddesses.
He knelt on the ground and bowed his head slightly in respect. "My highest regards, divine glory. I thank you infinitely for your kindness. Even though my daughter is inexperienced, please take care of her because she will faithfully serve you to repay your kindness."
"You don't have to worry, Beast Emperor Zach. Vann is a kind and obedient girl. I will take good care of her even if you don't ask for it. Now, raise your head." Elysia swung her hand gently.
Zach raised his head to follow the order. Then, his attention was drawn to the brown tortoise near the bench of the Goddess.
"He is Gio. An almost immortal Beast Emperor who will help in this revenge battle. He will listen to Vann's request, don't worry." Elysia introduced while pointing her palm at Gio.
"Okay, Gio, can you join Vann's group now? You need to discuss the plan a bit, right?" Elysia gave a slight gesture that might be easy to understand, then pointed at Vanessa.
Meanwhile, Gio glanced at his master and tilted his head slightly. He did not understand what his master meant by that, but he understood that he was asked to go to his white tiger senior. Therefore, he walked away after giving the nod.
Seeing that, Zach immediately excused himself to go with Gio. Considering what his daughter was going to do, he had to help out with the planning because he was quite confident in that aspect.
"Hello, friend. I'm Zach. It's a pleasure for me to meet you." Zach made small talk as he walked beside the brown tortoise.
"Father, Gio won't answer you if you talk to him in that kind of language. He can only understand simple beast language." Seeing her father being ignored by the brown tortoise, Vanessa reminded her father with a smile.
"Oh." Zach was enlightened and immediately used language that contained several rawrs and roars.
"Ho? Nice to meet you too, fire tiger. My divine master bestowed upon me the name Gioragh, and it can go with Gio." Gio responded back with another introduction. Then, he approached his white tiger senior to find out what he needed to do.
Therefore, Vanessa explained a little about what they would do after this. It was a battle to punish the sinners for their heinous deeds in the past.
Of course, Gio would gladly participate because it was an order from his divine master. Not to mention, he also could help his senior.
"Alright, let's go to our plan. Your enemies are Ernest, Leigh, and the other two fire lions. Apart from Ernest, who is already at the Emperor level, and Leigh, who is at the Spirit level, the other two are likely to be fire lions at the Saint-level." Theo brought up important information about the possible enemies they were going to fight.
"Woah, then, wouldn't this be a perfect match? Uncle Theo and Aunt Leila are at the Saint-level, then big sister is at the Spirit-level. And the last one is this small but tough brother, Gio. This tough brother will take care of that shitty yet vile Lion Emperor." Jimmy patted the brown tortoise on the back.
"Huh? Why do I need to give my shit to the Lion Emperor? You're a weird black semi-transparent tiger." Gio moved away from Jimmy a bit.
"Ah, well... Please ignore this silly son of mine. This is my basic plan. Feel free to add if you think it's necessary." Zach glanced at all the beasts in the group and began to explain the details of his idea. He grinned viciously to convey that, but no one found it strange.
Meanwhile, Elysia and her two Goddess friends just sat in their seats while listening to a small group of beasts discussing something in the beast's rawr language.
'Nee... Rhea, Nell, do you know what they're talking about? It's a bit inconvenient for me because I completely don't understand what they're talking about.' Elysia spoke telepathically to Rhea and Nell.
'My apologies, Master Elysia. I also couldn't understand what they were talking about. As far as I know, it is a beast language and was the language used before the Beast Race reached Spirit-level. Those at the Spirit-level or above no longer use that language because their intellect prompts them to speak the Aefasy language. But, in the past, it was Vrelenia.' Rhea felt a little disappointed in herself just because she couldn't help. Maybe, if it was her mother, the answer would come right away.
'Anyway, they're just discussing a plan or strategy under consideration for Gio. You could ask Vanessa for some details, right, Elysia?' Nall scratched his head, but she ended up shrugging because she didn't know either.
'Ely, look to the west. Those beasts will come here like they are going to war.' Elena pointed toward the sky where the sun was about to set.
Elysia immediately turned to the direction Elena was pointing at, and the two Goddesses on either side also turned in the same direction just because of her movement.
The Beast God was flying at the very front and was followed by his distant descendants. Right behind them, there were hundreds or maybe thousands of beasts approaching from air and land.
'Well, I'll do that later. For now, hmm... It seems the Beast God and thousands of beasts are on their way here. It's going to be a blast.' Elysia closed their short conversation and stood up from her seat. Rhea and Nell followed, and then they walked over to Vanessa's group.
"Sorry to interrupt your fun, but it looks like the appointed time has come. The Beast God and a thousand beasts will be here in a few seconds. Zach, Jimmy, I want you to sit on that bench. Your safety is guaranteed there." Elysia reminded and pointed toward the magic bench.
"Hm, it's about time, huh... Well, I think that's enough to win this battle. One thing to remember, make them feel worse than death." Zach gave a piece of advice with a grin.
"Yes, father! Leave this to us. If I may say so, I'm quite worried that Gio will trample the fire lions to death." Vanessa wryly smiled as she glanced at the brown tortoise.
