Chapter 356: Discussions

The thing with Ca.s.sim continued for a bit until he cleansed his little tears. He seemed tired after eating and crying all his tears out, so we decided to bring him to his bed to rest.

I carried his sleepy body with my arms as I put him over the bed and covered his little body with blankets.

"Rest for now, Ca.s.sim, we'll protect you, so don't worry and sleep," I said, as I kissed his forehead.

"Uncle… T-Thanks…" he muttered as he suddenly hugged my face.

"I really thought I would die… T-Thank you for saving me…" he cried.

I cleansed his little tears as I caressed his little head.

"Don't worry about it, sleep through it, and then let's talk again in lunch, alright?" I said.

He nodded cutely as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

I conjured the Spell "Good Dreams" on him so he wouldn't have nightmares, and then walked away.

After that, I decided to make a strategy meeting with my allies for what to do in the upcoming days.

"According to what we got from Ca.s.sim, we had approached the territory of a Demonic Sect, the Dark Shadow Sect seems dangerous and bloodthirsty, to the point that they would mercilessly slaughter innocents because they were helping some of the wounded soldiers of their enemy troops survive… They clearly mean business. I don't know what to do honestly. One part of me tells me to not get involved due to how dangerous it might be for all of us, and another part is boiling with anger, as I desire to destroy them all." I said.

"Certainly, it might be dangerous. We don't know how strong they could be… but as long as they're not Rank 5… perhaps we can handle them and get some easy resources after that… Heh." Said Miranda, smiling maliciously.

"I guess I have been thinking the same, we could take advantage of this and launch a surprise attack on them, destroy them, and then steal all they had gotten from the war, while slowly restoring the other two sects and making allies out of them, this way, we could even build a connection with the Righteous Faction." Said Benladann.

"That's a good idea, I had thought something similar. But it involves a lot of preparation, and I am still not sure if we should do this. I need to do a lot of recons first, and perhaps spy a bit in closer range… I need information, a lot, so I can make a better idea of the entire situation and know what to do exactly. These guys look dangerous, but we can also beat them if we work together and properly." I said.

"Hm, we require recon, huh? You sent the crows to the kid's village, didn't you, my lord?" asked Tisha.

"Indeed, I did. I want to confirm if there are survivors or not. If there are, we'll go rescue them and bring them here, I'll gladly accept them in our sect if they don't have anywhere else to go. I know Ca.s.sim would be happy to know there are more cat-kin surviving." I said.

"I am sure he would be happy. We have to properly plan things out though… First, we should wait and see what happens with his village, after that, we need to send recon to the three sects and see what's up in there, and lastly, we would prepare… If things go awry and it is too much for us to handle, then we might end up turning our tails and not acting for the moment." Said Benladann.

"Indeed. I want to first know if there is any good Dungeon nearby, a Rank 4 Dungeon would be ideal to hasten our growth, but for the moment, that doesn't seem to be anywhere." I sighed.

"Yeah, the harder Dungeons get, the harder it is to find them… And… well, I could help you recon." Said Belle, finally talking.

"You can?" we asked.

"Wha…! You think I am just useless or something? I can do some stuff! I can easily travel around dreams using this body or my main body, through dreams, I can arrive there quickly and do recon for you, well, Drake should also be able to do the same, but he lacks as much mastery as me so he could screw up." Said Belle.

"You're right, G.o.ddess-sama, I could really screw up, so you're doing it for me, right?" I asked with a smile.

"Hehe… Fine! I'll do it…." she sighed. Although she wasn't going to do it right now, probably tomorrow.

"Hm, if Belle can travel through dreams, perhaps we could find a way to easily recon the area and gain more information about the entire situation as a whole. With that said, how's the kid?" asked Rakasha.

"He's resting well, he was quite thankful for what we did, and he actually never asked me for any other favors. He might have already given up on his village and doesn't want to have to do anything else with the sects. I can understand how he feels, he has too much sorrow for vengeful feelings to blossom yet… It is better that way, harboring such strong feelings of vengeance at a young age is… not something good." I sighed.

"I agree. Let the kids be kids. We adults should take care of these things… He already told us anything he could, let's give him a rest so he can recover and have a better life here… Thank you, Drake, for being this kind-hearted. People, out there is never this way, you see… You keep surprising me by how far your kindness can reach." Said Rakasha.

"Hah, you're just praising me old man. I am not really a kind man." I said.

"Hah! If you're not a kind man, then we are all here monsters!" laughed Rakasha.

"Well, technically, I am a monster…" said Yuki.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone began to laugh at Yuki's remark, although it was honestly very silly.

After the discussion, we decided to take things easy as I told Fuyu to slowly move through the skies.
