Afternoon.
Laciel was walking towards the meeting room. It was a large circular room. In the center was a ten-sided table equipped with ten chairs on each side of the table.
The moment he went inside there, the smell of blood was still airborne everywhere. They screamed at each other without caring about it.
“Ah, Laciel! Finally you came too,” said Yagwar was happy to see Laciel coming.
There are ten seats, but not all of them are filled. There are three empty seats. And Laciel can only guess two out of three.
All the alliance leaders gathered here. Yagwar, Syarka, Zhen, Hanafsah, Oul, and Arkan. Even Viksen was present.
“You were arrested by the Emperor, weren't you?” laciel asked Riksen.
“True. Tigris caught me and Qormon, then tortured us both,” he replied.
“Ugh. Sorry to ask.”
“Tida what. Anyway, it's over. You guys came to save me.”
“Then, how about we go back to our problem,” Syarka said. “Who will be the next Emperor?”
His last words made everyone go silent.
“Why are you quiet? Does no one want to apply?” laciel asked in surprise at the silence.
“Actually, being Emperor is not easy, Laciel. Also, it was very troublesome and had no effect whatsoever. We still take care of our respective kingdoms without intervention from anyone in the end,” Syarka explained.
“Eh?” Laciel. He did not expect that the situation was different from what he had imagined. “Don't being Emperor mean being supreme and being able to rule anyone?”
“We are not a dictator-type country like that. It was the presence of the Council of Emperors that made us more towards deliberation. Ehem, Emperor Leo is an exception. That is why many of us disagree,” replied Syarka.
Hanafsah raised her hand and stood up.
“When the alliance was formed, I gave this body and soul to His Majesty King Laciel. So, I want to resign from my post as Queen in this Empire,”.
‘Ah, yes. She will make a contract to be my wife.’ Laciel looked uncomfortable and misbehaved.
“Hmm,” the others murmured.
“Actually, after I learned of your identity, we intend to let go of the relationship with you. Your involvement with the Beastman Empire could be bad for us. However, because you are also meritorious, I am so confused how to express it,” Syarka said.
“It's okay. I have also been unwilling to linger behind the Empire since meeting His Majesty,” Hanafsah replied.
“So, six of us left, huh?” zhen said breaking the atmosphere.
“Six?” others count.
“Oh, yes. If there were 10 Beastman Kings, two of them were Tigris and Kalinda. Who is the other one?” Laciel just asked. He had felt awkward from earlier.
“Of course the Lion King. He was the distant brother of Emperor Leo. And because he also conspired, then he was imprisoned,” Syarka explained. “By the way, some cities in your kingdom are destroyed, right, Yagwar?”
“Well, there you have it,” Yagwar replied in a lethargic tone.
Hearing him, Hazura, who was standing behind Laciel, whispered. Tell a brilliant idea that can benefit both parties.
Suddenly, Laciel stood up after Hazura finished whispering.
“Yagwar, how about we cooperate?” ask Laciel.
All who heard it were astonished.
“You know? Your kingdom is vast, but its population is few. My kingdom is not broad. However, the population is very dense. How about I help you rebuild the cities in your kingdom, and we make your kingdom the center and confluence of the civilizations and cultures of the monster and Devil races and the Beastmen?” his proposal.
“And since the Bat Kingdom is part of my kingdom, I intend to build a defensive fortress along its territory. So why not join your kingdom? That would make the Beastman Empire safer from invasion, wouldn't it?” continued.
“It's true. And again, since the Zamara Kingdom lost to Laciel, they should be afraid and will not invade us anytime soon if we announce our cooperation with Laciel,” Syarka said.
“Invasion from other countries, yes? Isn't this problem so spread to many things?” ask Laciel.
“Yagwar, you are the Emperor,” Zhen said. “Let Laciel take care of your kingdom, and you take care of the Empire. Ha ha ha!”
“Eh! I don't want to! Instead I have to take care of my kingdom first!” reply Yagwar did not accept himself being shot to be Emperor.
“What?! You can't just do that!” yagwar exclaimed in panic as many members of the Imperial Council raised their hands. “Even you too, Laciel?”
“Ehe~” Laciel just replied with a whimper.
And as Laciel raised his hand, Hanafsah also raised her hand.
“My Lord's decision is my decision as well,” he explained.
Zhen raised his hand as well. Since he proposed it.
Viksen agreed.
“You too?” ask Yagwar.
“When again have a friend who became Emperor, ‘kan?” candelessly.
“Why don't you become Emperor?”
“My father will definitely not allow it,” he replied.
Two people who have not yet raised their hands. They are Arkan and Oul.
“Mr Oul! Lord Arkan! Thank goodness you still support me!” Yagwar looks clear. Although he had already lost his voice, he felt lucky that there was still someone with him.
However ....
“I followed Laciel,” said Oul raised his hand.
“Faster the matter of choosing the Emperor is finished, sooner we can discuss the issue of security and all sorts of things. So, I would also agree.” Arkan finally raised his hand.
All the members of the Imperial Council have agreed. Of course, other than Yagwar alone.
‘I feel overwhelmed.’

Morning time.
They're moving fast. Once the Emperor is elected, they can quickly resolve other issues. The meeting was over in the first third of the night. And this morning, they will immediately announce the results of the Imperial Council Meeting to the public.
Many important people gathered. The people also enlivened with a party in the Capital City. And the climax was the Emperor's speech which all the people present would listen to. One of its contents was the announcement about the Empire's alliance with the Demon Kingdom, as well as its cooperation.
Afterwards, they sent letters abroad, especially to the three neighboring countries, the Kavizen Theocratic Empire, the Zaenia Great Empire, and, of course, the Zamara Kingdom.
Getting the letter, of course will make them replace “haluan”. Some undo the intention, and some even intend to launch an invasion.

Imperial Palace, Capital of the Kavizen Theocratic Empire.
Nightfall.
“This cannot be left!” shouted the highest priest. He was an old geezer with a long white robe outfit as well as a tall hat that was also white in color. “Beastman alone is already a problem! The devil is a problem! And now ... they just work together! This is the most important issue that has ever existed in history! Their existence can melt our existence!”
He threw the letter he received in any direction. His servant took him.
“Soon send Six Heroes and Theocracy troops to eradicate the enemy God!” his orders. “Your Majesty the Emperor, we must act immediately!”
The other old man sitting on the majestic throne was an Emperor. He approved the proposal of the Supreme Priestess without asking much. That was because, within the system of government of Theocracy, the post of Supreme Priest was above that of Emperor and was an extension of the God himself.
That way, the Six Heroes were deployed to exterminate a Demon King from the East.
The row of dominoes that fell began to show the impact.
