The Fox Goddess

Chapter 512 Yumie's Suprising Insight

?

"That is weird… But let's set that matter aside for now. The most important thing we need to discuss right now isn't that, but the suggestion of the Grand Elder regarding helping the Human Race." Yuki disregards the matter of the creature's strange behavior isn't even their main concern, the bigger problem that they have is what he suggested.

"Yes… this is exactly why I came here. I wanted to get a seal of approval from the King, after I get the seal of approval, I will immediately form a group of men that will come and help the Human Race." The Grand Elder explained what he wanted to do which made all of the people inside think about his plan, but just as they were thinking if they can get any benefits in helping the Human Race, the Grand Elder spoke again to completely fill anything that he missed.

"I know what all of you are thinking… Helping the Human Race is a big risk. But I believe if we succeeded in helping them even if it's for a little, they would return some favor to us. Plus we can even get some spoils of war from this, from what I understand the Blood inside of the Ice Creatures can be used to refine a Pill to make it more powerful. I have talked about it with the Human Elder, they said that if we helped them, they would give us 100% of everything that we kill. And with that, I really believe that it's worth taking the risk since there are just too many treasures that we can get ahead of, but of course, it's better if we hear all of your opinions." The Grand Elder eased all of them as he brought all of the positives and negatives about his plan in mind, he even wanted to hear their opinion on this matter since one mistake from this can affect the whole Beast Kingdom.

"Well.. what the Grand Elder just proposed really seems viable. We will get a lot of benefits if we help them, plus you said that we get 100% of everything that we kill, right? Isn't that good news then?" Aria said after a few minutes of thinking. If they can really succeed in helping the Human Race in some way, they would benefit a lot. The only thing that they need to consider is the major risk that they are taking because the enemies are very powerful and even if they are prospering in the past months, it was still too risky, but then again. The rewards that they can get would boost them a lot.

"I actually agree this time, the risk may seem too much. But I know that it's going to be worth it at the end of the day." Lian said her thoughts, she already considered everything that needed to be considered. Such as what would happen if they lost, if they just send a little army, then they can mitigate the damages that can happen, plus they are not going to lose that much if they do not succeed. It was worth taking such a risk since if they don't how could they even rise if they don't take any? Taking risks is how you can succeed because that is just how life is, it is a huge gamble.

But it wasn't just her who agreed with what the Grand Elder proposed, it was basically everyone in the room. Though the only people who didn't give their thoughts were Ayame, Serene, Katsumi, and Yumie since they don't really care what they do, they were gonna leave in a week's time so why do they gotta bother about the matters of the Beast Kingdom? And Yuki who was listening to everyone simply couldn't help but laugh inside because of how stupid of them to believe that they would actually get a lot more if they took this risk and just as she was about to interrupt them, the quiet and indifferent Yumie suddenly opened her mouth to her surprise, and it surprised her even more when she heard what she said.

"I… I may not have any say in this kind of conversation but… I would like to say something, is that possible?" Yumie said nervously as she looked at everyone with her nervous eyes, normally she wouldn't even dare to do something like this because it was too embarrassing, but she felt like she should because she knew that they were making a bad move if they really help the Human Race.

"Of course! You are a prodigy, a genius! The more insight that we can get the better, even if it comes from you, it would still be great. Plus, you are not clueless about this kind of stuff since you were literally trained by Yuki herself. Hearing your insights can also help us in many ways." Rory assured Yumie who seemed very nervous which eased her tensed body, she then took a deep breath before opening her mouth.

"I think the Beast Race is going to make a bad move if you guys really want to help the Human Race. But of course, I have reasons! The first reason is that, we don't know the true capabilities of this strange being, and if we really send out an army to them, what if those things don't stop at the Human Kingdom and attack others? Then we would lose some valuable assets because they are sent to the Human Kingdom to defend and we all know that the more people that can defend the better of course." Yumie's words shocked everyone, but they couldn't even respond because she just continued.

"Also, we all know that Humans can't be easily trusted. They may say that they are going to reward us if we really helped them, but we can't just trust their words blindly. If it was written in a contract it would be better, but if it's in an Oath form then it would be perfect since they can't lie to us. And lastly… we are not going to lose anything if we don't help them, plus in this way, we can prepare ourselves and monitor those creatures if they really attack the other Kingdom. Plus, I believe that the Human Kingdom isn't going to fall that easily, cause I read some books before, their Dynasty isn't something that can be easily brought down. And I also forgot! This is another thing that I think about, wouldn't this be the perfect time for us to build our army stronger now that they are losing so many of theirs? Since they are going to be so busy with reclaiming their land in the meantime, we don't need to care about them and just make ours stronger." Yumie explained everything that was in her head, it was pretty concise and direct to the point and everyone understood it quickly.

"I… I haven't thought of that possibility, but Yumie is right. The Human Dynasty isn't something that can be easily brought down, plus we are not going to lose anything if we don't help them since we know that the Humans wouldn't be so petty if we don't help us. They are going to be busy protecting their lands." Aria muttered silently as she silently feared Yumie in her mind, she was such a young girl but her thinking process was already above all of them. And looking at the person who taught her everything, makes her even more fearful.

"That's great, I was thinking of rewarding you for thinking that far. You did a great job Yumie, but you missed some details. And on behalf of you, I'll continue where you left off~" Yuki chuckled as she stood up and patted Yumie's little head. She was not going to lie that she was pleasantly surprised that her daughter could think of such a thing, because that was the route that she was already planning to take. What Yumie said were just her exact words, those were the words that she wanted to say to them, but she got ahead of her. Though she still missed some details but even so, she was extremely proud that she was able to think like her.

"The only missing thing about what you said is that… You can take this chance to reclaim what the Beast Race lost thousands of years ago~"
