Chapter 30 - Counter-alliance

" looks like they've come" Danis said to Richard.

"Yes, you are right, they have come and judging from the posture they have, this is clearly preparation before the war" Richard answered back to Danis.

"Then is your race ready Richard?" Danis asked again.

"Don't worry about it, just adjust a few trivial things" Richard said and continued.

"But the question now is, how should we divide the opponents?" Richard asked Danis again.

"About that, let's also talk with Gabriel and see what process we have to do to determine which opponents we have to face individually," Danis replied.

"Okay then how about we meet up after dinner, because I think they will start attacking tomorrow, so today should be safe" Richard suggested.

"I agree with your suggestion, but it's best to keep some personnel on standby in case of a night attack from their side," said Danis, agreeing to Richard's suggestion and then adding more.

On the other side of the oasis outside, this time there was a meeting between the Demon race, Demi humans, and dwarves discussing the division of tasks to conquer the oasis.

Sarah the queen of the demon race said opening the discussion" thank you for fulfilling this queen's invitation, on behalf of the demon race I thank you" Sarah said opening the meeting.

We dwarves race gladly welcome the goodwill of the queen, and I Thorin the king of the dwarves feel honored to gather together with the demon race and demi humans Thorin the dwarven king spoke in response to Saras's greeting.

"Same with King Thorin, here I am Lion King of the Demi-Human race also welcomes the meeting being held at this time" the King of the Demi-Human race said on behalf of his race.

"Okay, since everyone is happy to attend this meeting, let me then reveal the most important thing that brought us together." Saras started to get into the main topic of the purpose of the meeting they were having.

" As the existing Kings as well as the higher-ups present from every race already know, that we are now the party outside the oasis, then I don't need to tell you more from here right? Regarding what is the most important thing that must be we do!" Saras says again and soon another king responds.

"We know what queen Sarah means, and we ourselves are aware of the seriousness of the problem we are currently facing together, for that without wasting any more time I Thorin representing the dwarven race expressed a proposal to form an alliance between our three current races" Thorin king the dwarf made his intentions known without waiting any longer.

"I Lion agree to join representing race by human to form an alliance between us" lion said.

"I also agree" Sarah said agreeing to the proposed alliance between the three.

"Then let's continue the discussion about how the division of tasks between us" Sarah asked for a continuation of the discussion from their alliance.

"Determine the time when we will attack?" ask lions.

"That's right, time is of the essence" Thorin also agreed.

"Does anyone have any suggestions?" Sarah asked back to the audience which in this case was the kings and queens as well as the dignitaries of every race present.

So then began the whispers of the kings and higher ups of every existing race, discussing when would be the best time to attack.

"Queen how have you determined when to attack?" A subordinate of Sarah asked him.

"It's easy to talk about but the details of this matter are very important so I haven't decided which one is good, whether it's tomorrow or the day after is the choice that is currently in my mind" Sarah replied to her subordinates.

"Then why don't we attack the queen tomorrow? Isn't it good when we attack when they are not ready!" Said the underling suggested.

It's not that easy, in terms of preparations we are inferior compared to them, it is obvious if you can see that we are a race that is left behind by them, not to mention the geographic location of the oasis we can be said to lack information so it was careless to attack when we haven't ready" Sarah replied.

Thinking further about the subordinate seemed to understand what Sarah meant, and he became silent.

"I understand what you're thinking and feeling, but in this case we can't be careless" Sarah encouraged her subordinates.

"Ok stop discussing, it looks like they are ready" Sarah spoke again and asked her subordinates to stop the discussion because at this point it seemed that the kings had finished the discussion between themselves and their subordinates.

"How are the kings?" she asked.

Sarah let the lion king represent the thoughts of the demi human race on suggesting the right time to attack, lion spoke first and then he continued again.

" As the king and queen know that we only have two Days left, in that case then tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the last day we can use to attack, but after considering many things there is to determine the day of attack.

We chose the day after tomorrow as the most appropriate day to carry out the attack, as for why not tomorrow this would happen because, several things we faced became obstacles to making a more satisfying result compared to the day after tomorrow when we chose the time of attack.

Some of these reasons include our inadequate preparation, our blindness about the enemy's strength, then the geographical location of the oasis, in this case the terrain we will face, we still don't know clearly.

And the other thing is that our plans are still immature and detailed so as the saying goes, that under-preparation will only lead to unsatisfactory results" Lion stopped explaining and asked the others to respond.

"We of the race of dwarves also agree with the choice of day chosen by the Lion King and the Demi Human race" Thorin replied and then continued on.

"In addition to all the things that the lion king has said, we also need to remember one fact that cannot be forgotten, namely the existence of the Orch race" Thorin said reminding Sarah and also the lion.

In that instant both Sarah and Lion realized that they had exposed the Orch race, in that case it could be said to be a very important uncontrollable factor but they had forgotten, as for how serious a problem the Orch race could cause, every existing race understood their capabilities very well to wreak havoc, with their famed physique and brutality, the Orch race was the most hated race by the other races.

In addition to their wormy nature, the Orch race is also known as a disgusting and hated race, this is inseparable from the fact that they like to eat other races that they have caught.

Of course this made them other races who know this really hate Ra orch, because they are nothing more than a race of cannibals who are rude, disgusting and also savage.

"Thanks to king Thorin for reminding us of the existence of the Orch race that we have forgotten" Sarah thanked king Thorin.

"Ha...ha...ha....it's just a trivial matter, Queen Sarah and it's our duty as allies to remind each other, isn't it" said Thorin satisfied with Sarah's actions.

"No-no King Thorin is not trivial, we have to admit that without your reminder we could be destroyed before starting the war" replied the lion and then continued.

"Moreover, as we know the absence of the Orch race in our alliance is nothing but to take advantage of what we did to the 3 races that survived in the oasis, just waiting for the right time to take advantage of us" replied lion giving an idea that he think.

"It's true what the lion king said, we should also make arrangements for the Orch race" Sarah agreed.

So then the details regarding the attack they are going to carry out begin to be made further, in terms of the days for the attack they have succeeded they agree on the rest regarding the continuation of the detailed process they make an agreement on the policy to seek more information about enemy forces, geographical conditions and also other things that they need to pay attention to to make their attack successful and far from failure.

In a different place which is also outside the oasis, this time in a Padang rumout you can see a camp with an irregular shape and not very tidy.

Taking a closer look at the tents in the camp, it appears that they are made of several animal skins that are not sewn neatly.

In front of the large bonfire which was currently burning, the orch king and his companions were eating grilling their dinner, which was a large wild boar they had brought with them.

"King what should we do next?" Asked a subordinate to Agor Raja of the Orch race.

" Biting a large half-cooked pork leg, Agor said with a mouth full of pork, " what....you don't need to know, just follow what they are doing and the rest we act when it's critical" Agor replied to his men.

"Ahhh..ha...ha....the king is right we just need to follow them" laughed happily praising Agor.

Seeing Agor who had no intention of answering them further, his men now turned their attention to the roast pork that was being grilled.
