Chapter 204: Subjugation Battle of the Church of Love, Summoning a Storm (6)
"What is your ulterior motive?"
The moment we took our first step onto the plains while receiving the send-off of the barracks personnel, James asked me in an arrogant tone of voice, as if he were my superior. I stared at James without a word. Meeting my gaze, James did not bend his force, befitting the child of a warrior.
"I asked what your ulterior motive is. Do you really think I will come to like beastfolk? High Priest. I understand that you are a really good person. But, but once you witness the people who were attacked by beastfolk in the plains region, your entire thoughts will change. You should have seen those gruesome corpses. Could you tell that bereaved family to get along with beastfolk too?"
"We do not attack innocent people. What we want is a wide open field to run around in and a reed field where arrows don't fly at us."
"Why do you get to decide who is an innocent person or not? Do you think you beastfolk have the qualification to do so?"
"If you want to discuss qualifications, bring it on anytime. The Marimba Tribe never backs down from a challenge."
As Elsi replied, James spoke even more sharply. The argument between the two showed signs of turning into a bloody situation. It was only the entrance to the plains, but the war of nerves was already sharp. I intervened between the two and spoke.
"Now, calm down, and first of all, James. Could you look at me for a second?"
"What is it?"
