Once they were done listening to Erste's information the generals felt the pressure of the truth had overwhelmed them more so than when Erste was pushing them down. Since unlike the pressure Erste was releasing they still had the courage to resist, and the tenacity to achieve victory, but this... What they had learned made them feel despair like no other.

Erste who had gained the ability to sense despair and fear, could sense those feelings strongly being emanated by them but despite feeling those things their expressions did not show what they were feeling. It was similar to Frieda who had a look of indifference when she learned the truth.

"So basically what we've been fighting were just some weaker Gods that can be continuously created. The true enemies are those Ancient Ones, but we haven't seen one and we haven't heard any news about them except for now. Then there's that creator of all the ORIGIN." Schlau sighed but the smile on his face didn't disappear as he blocked his mouth with his hand.

"So there are stronger enemies out there, heh I'm getting excited I need to build up more muscles!" Jonathan suddenly started doing push-ups with his thumb.

"Yes, that's right even knowing this truth the objective remains the same, only the enemy we have to face has changed," Gratz spoke aloud seemingly trying to encourage his peers but Erste could see it was more than that. "Even if they're stronger than us we shall fight until the end and we will die gloriously and honorably as humans!"

Everyone present was quite surprised to hear the old man's voice getting louder and louder but hearing what he said made the others grin unconsciously.

"Hmph, I'm surrounded by optimistic fools, but I guess that's alright as well." Sayaka chimed in with a charming smile on her face. "So what should we do next?" Even though she still sounded rather arrogant there was also a look of pure determination. The others then looked at Erste.

"I don't know what to do next, which is why I came to you guys so that we can all think and despair together. So do you guys have any ideas?"

The room suddenly became quiet even the groaning Kamael who was kissing the floor did not make a single sound. They didn't know how long the silence lasted but then someone spoke.

"Dragons."

Everyone present shifted their attention to the person who spoke which was the general of wisdom Schlau. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to say the next thing Schlau turned around facing the opposite direction and the smile on his face grew wider.

"What is it Schlau, what about dragons?" Gratz asked.

"Come on don't keep as hanging."

"Why did you stop speaking Schlau?! Are you alright Schlau?" Jonathan approached Shclau and started shaking the other party. "Hello, can you hear me?!"

"Yes I can hear you, John, so please stop shaking me."

"That's good to hear." Jonathan stopped shaking Schlau who sighed.

"About the dragons, you guys know they exist right?"

"Yeah, several of our men have seen dragons before, what about it?"

"I remember one of those reports stating that a Dragon killed a New God. Aside from us, it seems that Dragons are powerful enough to defeat the Gods. Also unlike those Ancient Ones who we have no idea where they are, we have seen Dragons every now and then."

"Alright so you want to talk to some Dragons, how are you sure that they even have the ability to communicate with us?" Sayak asked sounding skeptical. fre ewebn ovel

"Hmm, that is true, but given our situation, we should try anything we can right?" Gratz gave his opinion.

"This feels similar to a normal person asking for help from a jaguar hoping to kill a lion. Are we not sure that the jaguar will eat us first before the lion?" Frieda also gave her opinion about the matter. "Still, this might truly be the only way we can do something about the Ancient Ones."

"How about you, are you finally willing to talk like a civilized human being?" Erste asked Kamael as he released the pressure pressing down on the other party. Kamael who was released from the intense pressure could only look up and glare at Erste.

"Well, I guess you don't have any opinions. So our next plan is talking to some Dragons, so who will be the one to talk with the Dragon?"

"The person who should talk with the Dragon should be powerful enough that he won't die even if things turn out bad, he should be charismatic enough to negotiate an alliance, and he should be smart enough to know what to say."

"Of course, it should be me, right? My muscles will be able to charm those Dragons into submission." Jonathan once again started flexing his muscles. The others ignored Jonathan and asked the question.

"So who will do it?"

"A powerful, charismatic, and smart person, who else but Sir Gratz could do it." Kamael who has recovered a bit spoke.

"I don't think I'm the right man for this job."

"Sir Gratz is right, none of the generals will be able to do this mission." Schlau gave affirmation which made the other generals frown. "In the first place, the power to fight a dragon and survive you would need to at least have enough power to fight an Old God, and in here there are only two people who have enough power to be able to do just that."

"So it has to be either Erste or me. Hmm, what do you think Erste do you want to negotiate with Dragons?" Frieda pointed at Erste and then at herself.

"Not really, I would rather fight with the Dragons than negotiate and talk with them."

Hearing Erste's response those who did not know him well enough showed shocked expressions while the others could only sigh.

"Heh, I guess that is something that you would do. So it's going to be me that talks with the Dragons."

"No, Leader I actually want you and and Erste to go together to meet the Dragons." After Schlau said those words the cunning smile on his face made the other generals feel slightly uncomfortable.
