MEETING ROOM
After calming down, everyone sat and listened to why Tryeni came to them.
Tryeni: *Sitting down while eating a potato chip* The main reason I came to you and not other stronger races was because everyone knows of your strength, Lord Gilgamesh!
Gilgamesh: *Smiles* Yes, you would know that firsthand, wouldn't you?
Treyni shivered slightly when she remembered how she first met the King of Heroes. After all, who could ever forget when y/n was angry?
Shaking away those thoughts, she continued to speak.
Treyni: *Nods* Yes, I still remember it to this day. However, right now, if nothing is done about the Orc Lord, then the entire Jura Forest will be destroyed.
Everyone besides y/n and Shizue tensed up when she said that. Unbothered by her apparent warning, y/n spoke up in an indifferent tone.
Gilgamesh: *picks up a glass of wine and takes a sip* Yes, I already know how deadly one is. Especially an Orc Lord's skills!
Rimuru: *Looks at him confused* Really? Why's that?
Y/n looked at him like he was a complete idiot which made Rimuru slightly embarrassed. However, before it got worse, Shizue answered his question.
Shizue: *Frowns slightly* It's because of their unique skill: Starved. With said skill, they can make any races power their own. Much like the unique skill you have!
Rimuru gulped a little when hearing that, though before he could dwell on it any further, y/n spoke up.
Gilgamesh: *Shakes his head* With explanations aside, I am ready to give you your answer, dryad...
Treyni: *Looks at him* Oh? Well then, what is it?
Even though it looked like a couple of minutes had passed, y/n was talking to Raphael about what answer he should give Tryeni. After thousands of minutes went by in his head, y/n concluded what he should do.
With a sigh, y/n explains.
Gilgamesh: I will do this favor for you IF you do me a favor in return. Of course, I can choose when I want to use said favor.
Treyni took a minute to think about it, though, with the forest on the line, she had no other choice but to accept.
Treyni: *sighs and nods reluctantly* I accept...
Gilgamesh: *Smiles* Excellent! Then all that's left before we move out is confirmation that the Lizardman will ally with us!
Hearing this, Gabiru looked over to y/n and asked.
Gabiru: *Confused* Pardon me for asking Lord Gilgamesh, but I can tell them once I return. Why would you need a messenger?
Gilgamesh: *shakes his head* I sent him for two reasons. One, I need this information now, then later. And two, he was getting restless since he hadn't had a new mission for a couple of months.
Everyone looked at him confused while he wondered how Cu Chulainn was doing with his new mission.
SCENE CHANGE
Currently, in the throne room of the Lizard Men chieftain, a tense atmosphere was unfolding. The chieftain, his daughter, a couple of guards, and the Dog of Gilgamesh were currently waiting for either to strike.
Cu Chulainn: *Smirks while his spear rests on his shoulders* Been awhile, hasn't it chieftain?
Chieftain: *Glares at him* I should have you executed just for stepping in here, Cu Chulainn...
Cu Chulainn: *Fakes surprise* Really? *sighs sadly* And here I thought we were close!
Chieftain: *Glares even more* You know exactly why you aren't welcome here!
Even though Lancer was playing stupid, he knew exactly why he wasn't welcome. Long story short, he had fun with the chieftain's daughter and left the next morning. Making him very hated among the Lizardman. While Souka, named by y/n, still had feelings for Cu Chulainn. But she didn't know what to do at that moment.
All she could do was watch and see why he came. Which after another minute long of silence, Lancer sighed and said.
Cu Chulainn: *Smiles and winks at Souka* You know you still look just as beautiful as the day I first met you, Souka!
This made her blush and avoid his gaze. However, he didn't miss the opportunity to look at her beautiful body that is more human than the rest of the Lizardman. Though that was thanks to her being named from his master.
However, knowing he needed to explain why he was there, he looked back at the fuming chieftain and said.
Cu Chulainn: Let's put our past differences aside and make an alliance! My master requests one with you concerning the Orc Lord.
This made everyone stop what they were thinking and stare at him in shock.
Chieftain: *Shocked* (An Orc Lord!?... I'll have to put my hate aside for now while I work with Lord Gilgamesh...) *Sighs* Proceed with what you came here to say.
Seeing as he had everyone's attention, Cu Chulainn spoke up with a serious tone.
Cu Chulainn: *Nods* Right, as my master asked, he wants you to defend while he makes his way here since, in his words, "They will not be a match for the Orc Lord."
Even if he didn't want to admit it, the Chieftain knew he had no chance against the Orc Lord. With a reluctant sigh, he asked.
Chieftain: Anything else?
Cu Chulainn: *Smirks* Yes, he also said I will stay here to protect you while he makes his way here!
This made the chieftain's mood a little sour. But knowing just how strong Cu Chulainn is, he knew it was for the best.
Chieftain: *Nods dejectedly* Right... We will follow what Lord Gilgamesh has asked and play defense until he gets here!
Seeing as everything was wrapped up, Cu Chulainn placed his spear back down and started walking out while everyone prepared for the battle they would have to face. However, he couldn't help but have one last thought before he left the throne room.
Cu Chulainn: *Walking out* (I wonder if you gave me this mission since you knew what I did?... Eh, it doesn't matter. No matter the time, Goldie always knows how to get under my skin!)
After that thought, Cu Chulainn exited the throne room and headed to a secure location to tell y/n what transpired.
