This idea has almost become their consensus, but everyone knows what they are thinking in their hearts, and they don't say it directly because they are afraid that these words that are not conducive to unity will cause everyone's morale to plummet.
"Fuzi, the monster's attack has temporarily subsided, and it's about time for you to take a break." Vita, who had completed the maintenance work on the magic circle, came over to remind her.
"Yeah." Sakura Fuko nodded to her. Instead of returning to her bed, she leaned back and lay in the auxiliary magic circle with her eyes closed.
She has not had a rest for three days now. Even though a magical girl can convert magic power into physical strength, the lack of sleep and the continuous casting of magic will greatly consume the magical girl's spirit.
It's okay in the short term, but if this situation continues without any attention, the magical girl's spirit will collapse sooner or later, and then it won't be solved by just sleeping.
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 95: A Familiar Giant Beast
No one woke her up, and this was the most comfortable sleep Sakura Fuko had had in these days. Until she opened her eyes again, she thought she had not slept for very long.
She stretched herself and was suddenly stunned when she looked straight ahead, because what she saw in her field of vision was not the sky, nor the vast green canopy of trees, but the ceiling of a wooden room.
"What happened and why am I here?"
Hearing Sakura Fuko's voice, Vita, who was leaning against the side with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the girl with a puzzled face: "Are you awake?"
"Vita...how's the situation outside?"
Vita put down the book that seemed to be woven with leaves, and then slowly said: "After you lay down to rest, the monsters outside stopped attacking. I took a look at the situation and asked Nanako to bring you back."
"The monsters from the three foreign lands have stopped attacking?" Upon hearing the news, Sakura Fuko woke up instantly. She jumped out of bed, pushed open the door and found that the united territory had become quiet, and even the green barrier was not opened.
"Really... stopped?" Her tone gradually softened from the initial disbelief, having experienced so many storms.
She was no longer the same person she used to be, and she had become much calmer when faced with emergencies. However, if even Vita didn't understand what was going on, it would be impossible for her to figure it out.
At this moment, Youti came running over and hurried to their side and said anxiously: "Master Vita, Master Fuzi, the three clan leaders have ordered me to send the two of you to the council hall for a meeting."
"In that case, Vita, let's go right away."
"Listen to you."
The two followed Youti to the meeting room of the united territory. Although the territories of the three tribes had been merged together, the buildings here were still those of the tree spirits.
Although the three races, Dryads, Fairies, and Elves, all have appearances similar to humans, the Dryads are more like humans, including their ability to build and use weapons.
Therefore, a large number of the masterpieces of the tree spirits were preserved after the relocation and can be used in many places.
For example, the current conference room, the iron tree wall that resists numerous monsters, and the door that is so tough that it is almost indestructible.
When the two arrived here, they found that the people sitting in the council hall were not only the leaders of the three tribes, but also a group of core members and the former leader of the tree spirit tribe, Mortis.
"The topic of this discussion is whether our united territory should be split up again after we defeat the monsters from the three outer regions."
Hearing what the elven chief said, Vita's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.
Have the people of these three major races been living happily for too long? Although they did resist the attacks of these monsters for three full months, this does not mean that they have won a complete victory. Discussing such things now is undoubtedly like popping champagne at halftime.
"Everyone..." Sakura Fuko relaxed her frown slightly and was hesitating whether to speak. The first few words came out and were heard by others.
"Oh? I wonder what Lady Fuzi has to say?" The Elf Chief Celia warmly invited her to speak, and others also looked at her.
Although there were only three people on Sakura Fuko's side, the combat power and support capabilities they unleashed were quite substantial. The three clan leaders had long regarded the leader Sakura Fuko as an existence of equal or even higher level than themselves, and they spoke to her much more politely than before.
Seeing her whispers were heard, Sakura Fuko simply stopped hiding them and immediately expressed her thoughts: "I think it's too early for us to discuss this. In fact, the foreign monsters have been retreating for a whole day. Not only do I not feel happy, but fear and worry have taken over most of my heart."
"Oh? What do you mean?" The faces of the three clan leaders turned serious, and they pricked up their ears as if listening attentively.
"Foreign monsters have been attacking our united territory for three months, but their numbers are still plentiful. So why are they retreating?"
Nanami, the fairy leader, said, "I think they probably decided they couldn't take it, so they gave up."
"No." Sakura Fuko shook her head. "I think they must be concentrating their forces for a final decisive battle, or waiting for the arrival of something. I have a feeling the next beast wave attack will be ten or a hundred times more powerful than before."
Vita looked at Sakura Fuko with satisfaction in her eyes. What the latter raised was exactly what she was worried about. She originally thought that the three tribes would hold a meeting to discuss this point, but she didn't expect that the beast would let them, outsiders, say it out loud.
Seeing the three clan leaders and the other high-ranking officials were speechless, Sakura Fuko continued, "What we should consider now is how we will use our existing forces to resist an all-out attack if the three foreign lands truly launch one."
"Fuzi is right."
Vita's agreement was just right, because although Sakura Fuko was the leader of this small team, Vita's dragon identity and strength obviously impressed them more.
"Then..." Ivy stood up and was about to change the topic raised by Celia, but the next moment the ground shook violently, and the alarm bells instantly echoed throughout the entire united territory.
"Oh no! It's the foreign monsters. They're attacking again."
Youti was the first to open the door and rushed out, but she stopped at the door, her whole body in a daze.
Members of the Dryad Tribe, the Fairy Tribe, and the Elves Tribe followed closely behind, but just like Youti, they stopped at the door and couldn't move forward even a single step.
This scene made people think that they were under some kind of spell, but when everyone followed them out of the door of the council hall, more than a dozen people stopped at the same time.
Hongyue Yiyi Lingyi Ni Temple ⑤ Long_Silk {Dove⑧
The earth shook again, and when Sakura Fuko finally walked there and looked up, she understood why these people had such expressions.
Because in the forest appeared a terrifying black monster with limbs as strong as beams and pillars, a body as solid as if made of fine iron, a bloated and slender torso, and a sharp horn on its forehead. It looked like a rhinoceros and was nearly forty meters tall.
"Impossible... Void Beast, why would a Void Beast appear here? Shouldn't this small world be closed?" Sakura Fuko shouted almost subconsciously.
Only she, a magical girl, could feel how foul the magic ether emanating from the giant beast was.
Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 96: The Only Condition
Vita estimated the height of the Void Beast and had an idea in his mind: "Forty meters tall, a second-evolved dragon level?"
But at this time, they who were from Yinlingyi (Seven) Siwu⑼ Temple 9VIII did not seem to be able to defeat the power of the Void Beast of this level. Not to mention that Sakura Fuko was only a healing type, Vita could not even use the most basic magic of Anten Meiko's external incarnation.
The strongest person on their side is only Nanako, or rather, only after Nanako has grown from a little girl to a young woman and exerted all her fighting power can she resist that terrifying existence.
The gap in combat power between the two sides is obvious. If this void beast launches an attack on the joint territory, I am afraid that this place will be destroyed in an instant and no one will be left alive.
I just don’t know why, this Void Rhino was clearly in position, but it still had no intention of attacking. Instead, it stopped there and leisurely shook its muscles.
Everyone in the united territory took advantage of this time to gather together immediately. The three clan leaders, Sakura Fuko and others all stood on the top of the Iron Tree City Wall and looked ahead.
Everywhere you look are densely packed with magical beasts. All the trees along the path where the Void Rhino walked have collapsed beyond recognition.
"Great, it looks like you're all here."
Just as everyone was thinking about how to deal with the current predicament, a voice suddenly came into their minds, and they could hear it clearly even if they covered their ears.
Vita frowned slightly and looked up at the second-evolved dragon-level void beast.
Sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum because the transmission of sound requires a medium, which can be air, water, rock or steel.
People who can use magic can use magic to wrap up their own voices, which not only prevents the sound from leaking and accurately reaching other people's ears, but also acts as a medium for transmission in a vacuum.
The method of transmitting sound through magic is actually similar to normal speaking, but the voice that appears directly in the mind is obviously different.
It is transmitted through some kind of suggestion, and the power of this transmission comes from everyone's soul, which is equivalent to directly connecting a telephone line between the souls of both.
Vita's attainments in the soul were also quite remarkable, so she followed the thread that was imperceptible to the naked eye and quickly locked her target on the Void Rhino.
In other words, the one who had just spoken to them was actually this Void Rhino. How was that possible? Although the second-evolved Dragon-level Void Beast had some intelligence, it was not so intelligent that it could use a method like soul communication.
If there really was a Void Beast that was this smart, the magical girls probably wouldn't have been able to complete the subjugation mission so smoothly.
Qi&Er③Cage Master Jiu (VII) Umbrella-"The prototype domain of this void beast should be a command type, otherwise it would not be able to make so many monsters obey its orders and come to besiege the forest area." Sakura Fuko guessed.
"Let's listen to what he says first." Vita nodded at the Void Rhino, "It was this rhino that was speaking just now."
Sakura Fuzi was shocked when she heard this. How could the Void Beast speak and transmit the voice directly into their heads? Even if it opened the domain, it would be impossible.
Although her mind was full of thoughts and she was imagining all the possible new things, she did not express her doubts and surprise immediately. Instead, she remained standing and looked at the Void Rhino.
The voice re-emerged in everyone's minds: "I have a peace proposal that will benefit all three of us. If you agree to my demands, I will withdraw my troops immediately and will never invade your forested area again."
It is impossible not to be tempted by such conditions. After all, they have placed this giant beast here, telling you that it can raze this place to the ground at any time if it wants.
It seems that the proposal that Celia, the elven leader, just wanted to bring up in the parliament was like a clown. After struggling for three months, it was no different from playing house.
The Void Beast was so intimidating that just by standing there without making any movement, it had already planted fear deeply in the hearts of everyone in the United Territory.
Celia, Nanami, and Ivy, representing the three clan leaders, stood up at the same time. Ivy, who was standing in the middle, asked, "What are the conditions?"
"Give me that pink-haired little girl as a sacrifice. That's my only condition."
The three clan leaders subconsciously turned their gazes to the pink-haired loli Nanako beside them, and were very confused as to why the mastermind behind the scenes would make such a request. However, they did not agree immediately because Nanako was not on their side.
"Can you give us some time to think about it?"
Regardless of whether to hand over the person or not, the most important thing right now is to buy enough time to think of countermeasures, so no matter what the result is, Ivy has already decided to delay.
"Three days. I only give you three days. Once that time is up, I'll want your answer. Otherwise, you'll lose the chance to cooperate with me sincerely forever."
After saying this, as the Void Rhino retreated, the magical beasts that surrounded the united territory also retreated like a tide. The surroundings suddenly became empty, which was difficult to get used to for a while.
The beasts retreated, and they returned to the meeting hall to continue the meeting that had just been forcibly interrupted, but the content of the meeting had not changed.
"The intentions of the mastermind behind this are truly sinister," Ivy spoke first. "It's probably to make us fight among ourselves and eventually fall apart."
"Oh? What do you say?"
It would be fine if the mastermind behind this had asked for someone else, but he had to ask for the sacrifice of Nanako, who had the highest combat power in the entire united territory and was also an outsider.
This will not only cause suspicion between outsiders and locals, but even if they choose to hand over Nanako and the latter agree, after holding the strongest fighting force of others in their hands, will the mastermind behind the scenes still be afraid of these remnants?
After all, this cooperation is completely ineffective, which means that if either party wants to turn against each other, they can tear up the contract and attack at any time.
What would the United Territory, without its strongest force, have to fight against the others? What difference would that make to surrendering?
Ivy's analysis was very logical, but of course she also had her own selfish motives. The three outsiders had helped them so much at all costs, and if they were still thinking about whether to hand Nanako over at this time, it would definitely make them feel disheartened and even make them lose trust in the United Territory.
"Don't worry, the three clan leaders. We will fight with you to the end." Ivy spoke for them, and Sakura Fuko immediately made a statement.
Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 97: Rocks and Scorpions
Being awakened from her sleep, Anten Meiko waved her hand to remove the glass shield that was protecting their delicate sleep. After stretching her waist, she turned around and saw Melinda's guards standing next to their dragon carriage.
"Lady Ruby, Lady Melinda asked me to invite you to come with her to meet the village chief."
"Okay, you go first, I'll be there in a minute." After sending the guards away, Meiko Anten and Beth, who had also woken up, jumped off the carport together.
Beth, who was responsible for taking care of Ronia, returned to the carriage, while Meiko Anten used water magic to create clean water for washing, and then went to Melinda's dragon carriage alone.
"You stay here in case of any emergency. Lady Ruby and I will go in together." The guard nodded in response to the order and stayed where he was without following.
Meiko Anten and Melinda looked at each other, nodded to each other, and walked into the village together through the main gate, heading towards the village chief's residence which they had learned yesterday.
The village chief's house is also a landmark building in this village. The house is much larger than ordinary houses and has three floors. Compared with the surrounding areas, it is undoubtedly a mansion.
"You should have guessed what we are going to do on this trip, right?"
"Well, since I've accepted your commission, I'll do all the dirty work as long as it doesn't involve any loss of life." An Teng Meizi said indifferently.
Melinda gave her an apologetic look and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a satisfactory reward when we get to the Theocracy."
"Let's talk about it when we get there. You can handle whatever needs to be discussed later. I'll just stand aside and provide support."
"Row."
Meiko Andeng's talent and ability in combat are undoubtedly rare and unique in the world, but as the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise, and it would be better to leave things like negotiations to professional businessmen.
Arriving at the village chief's house, the door was wide open as if welcoming them. Of course, the two girls politely stopped at the door and did not go in. "Village chief, are you there? We're here."
"Please come in and chat with me."
Although the words were brief, they seemed to open an invisible door for them, allowing them to step over the threshold and enter the house with peace of mind.
Steaming hot tea had already been prepared in the room, and it was obvious that it was poured just after the village chief noticed their arrival.
The two of them sat down, and Ando Meiko picked up the cup without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp without caring about the temperature. The tea was bitter at first, but after the bitterness, it had a faint sweetness. Although it was a floral tea, it did not leave a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, it was just a simple taste. It was completely different from the tea she had drunk at Kamijou Asahina's.
Melinda didn't imitate her guzzling. She casually blew on the cold tea, took a sip, and put it down. "Village Chief, I know you're a straightforward person. Let's not beat around the bush. We'd like to exchange it for two months' worth of food for fifty people. Just state your terms."
"Well, Miss is worthy of being the head of the Chamber of Commerce. You are truly a hero. Since you don't want to beat around the bush, then please follow us."
The village chief stood up and walked outside, where three young and strong men were already waiting. When they saw the village chief coming out with two people, they immediately made way for him.
These guys were all from the younger generation of the village. They had never seen such beautiful girls as Ando Meiko and Melinda before. When they saw them come out, all six of them widened their eyes.
The old village chief knew what they were thinking and immediately scolded them: "What are you looking at? This is our guest. Don't bring shame to our village. Leave now."
Those guys blushed and lowered their heads in shame. They must have been very afraid of the village chief.
However, a man who acts so decisively is certainly not a weak person. In addition, he holds a high position of power in the village, and the unique majesty he exudes in his every move is naturally not something that those young men who are inexperienced in the world can withstand.
After being scolded by the village chief, the young men became much shyer. They walked happily in front to lead the way and looked back from time to time, but they did not dare to focus their gaze on the two girls.
