"I see... If that's really the case, that's good... At least for now" [Kara].
"Should we postpone the project then? At least until we make sure that everything is okay?" [Mara]
"This should be a discussion between all involved. For now, we're sure they wouldn't risk wiping themselves out" [Nar].
"My apologies, if only I had done enough" [Rentap]
"Nonsense. If you and the other don't give them the beating they deserve, they will surely become even more savage" [Tuah].
"So that means they will come back and try to steal the core we installed. They're a nuisance" [Dana]
"Agreed" [Sas]
"For now, our plan to station golems and soldiers along the highway should deter them. That, and the fact that Diana has sealed it off with multiple layers of barriers. I'm sure they already knew about the barrier, so the chances of them trying to steal the Core along the highway are not as high as we initially think... However..." [Princess Siti]
"That doesn't mean that they wouldn't do it. Especially after their leaders try to tame the Devil King's fire" [Jean].
"Only Valerie, the one we know, is able to use the Devil King's fire, if there's another one, and that other one is our enemy..." [Diana]
"They will certainly be a threat" [Kat].
"Even so, I don't think we need to worry for now" [Nar]
"Just for now" [Liya]
"Correct. I may not be able to fully analyze the Lion Beastman Simba's behavior, but he's quite calculating. Only his lackey is rude and rowdy. If he's what we've been told, I'm sure he'll target us when we try to connect Amleth with the Elven Kingdom, especially in the middle of our journey when we're most vulnerable." [Nar]
"I have to agree." [Randy]
"Even this project is proving a bit difficult, but the one connecting Amleth and the Elven Kingdom will be far more challenging" [Saintess Rumia].
"Shall we lend our golems?" [Princess Siti]
"That will be appreciated, but it's better if we all sit down and discuss it with everyone" [Nar].
A small group discussion between us. This is about the threat posed by the True Beastmen group and the damage they have done.
We've come to the conclusion that their attack on Emas is probably because they wanted to steal the Core before it was sealed into the ground. That's one of the reasons. During our discussions with the others, we are sure there is another reason, and the one we speculated on is their attempt to get the Devil King's blessing.
For what purpose they wanted to do the above two things is anyone's guess. Wealth? Power? Probably.
According to Miss Akela, Simba formed the True Beastmen Group because of the ideological clash between himself and the current Beastman Kingdom, led by King Lionel. The two proud Lion Beastmen don't see eye to eye, especially when it comes to the invasion of the Empire, where many Beastmen were enslaved and killed.
One of the main reasons for forming the group, at least initially, is to free all the beastmen captured and enslaved by the Empire. The beastmen were sold everywhere for various purposes. A noble thing to do at first, but as things turn out, it becomes a group of terrorists who want the supremacy of the beastmen known throughout the land.
They clash with the Church and the Holy Kingdom because The dark side of the church, The Illumination causing trouble to species other than human, which cause harms to the beastmen. They attacked Amleth during the Salin Event because they didn't want beastmen and other races living under the same roof, when all mothers wanted was a safe birth for their children. They captured and enslaved other races for their own vile purposes. I'm sure the demon clan that was with them the other day was captured. Sadly, we have lost every trace of them.
While we know that Simba is their leader, we didn't know their location. We know that The Illumination is secretly run by the Pope, Pope Alexander, but no one has been able to find any concrete proof. We know that the extremist group led by Grandmother Farhah's youngest son, Alagast, is somewhere in the Forbidden Forest. We know that Valdrid controls Gastrium from behind the scenes, but as for the True Beastmen group, we are at a loss.
"For now, just enjoy your stay here. This project of connecting Amleth to Emas is already a great success, something we should all celebrate instead of frowning" [Princess Siti].
