The ogres and I headed to the village with Shizu - san, we had a feast and we got some booze , foods and a campfire. The village was now developed we could have a feast at the dining hall but nothing beats camping. That's why the place we had our feast was a place surrounded by the trees and nature but it was somewhere near the village.

"The orcs attacked the ogres?! that's absurd" Kaijin asked

"Is it that weird?" Gobta asked

"Naturally Ogres are far more powerful than Orcs" Kaijin answered

"but it's the truth, they came at our village with full force they wear Iron chest plates just like what the humans wear"

"how did the orcs provided those valuable weapons?" Kaijin asked

"I don't know all I know was that all of our brethren was slaughtered by their numbers and among those orcs there is a masked majin with an angry looking mask" 

"There must be someone supporting them from behind the scenes" Kaijin said

"So you fought with Great Rimuru and Shizu - sama because of their mask?" Gobta asked

Benimaru or rather he doesn't have a name right now the young lord of the ogres just nodded and drunk the beer to his mouth.

"So what are your plan of action?" I asked him

"We will rebuild our forces and strike them down one by one" he answered

"Do you know where to find them?" I asked but he seems shocked to my questions so he had no structured plan at the table

"Well I have a proposal to you, do you guys have any interest in becoming my subordinates" I said

"Well all I could pay you was a food and place to rebuild your forces" I continue

"Please wait a minute I don't think there is a reason for you to do that" he said

"You said orcs are invaded with a huge number, in other words this town isn't safe either that's why I need allies to move with. Im never gonna abandon a friend" I said

"We've seen Rimuru - dono and Shizu - dono's power I don't think you have anything to worry" he said

[Report: He is right]

I know that Ciel - sensei but I need them to join me that's why I need to keep my acting

[Report :Understood]

[Then execute Thought manipulation to control his action? Y/N]

I wanted to let the process be efficient and fast but I want Benimaru to decide for himself so No

As I said that I return my attention to Benimaru

"A person's carelessness is the greatest enemy of himself, I could say that you guys are powerful in battle that's why I wanted to add my forces as much as possible I don't want to be careless that's the reason and Orcs are a thing but the masked Majins are different not Acknowledging the unknown was a grave mistake" I said with a serious tone that made Benimaru reconsider If I didn't provide any valid argument Benimaru wouldn't consider that's why I explained how my leadership works and how he's leadership is flawed. In the current time Benimaru's strategies was to jump in battle and die just for vengeance and for me that's a flawed way of thinking. Sacrificing oneself was a great attitude but he should consider he's allies that might be affected because of his actions.

"Please let me think about it" he said while lowing his head

"Take all of the time you need ... ohh" I said that but something grabbed my attention
