A few minutes after following Kieran, they met up with another group led by an elderly man which had the same attire as old Kieran. A colonel was a pretty high position compared to mere soldiers but there were a few ranks higher than that, just like these elderly people. Moreover, it doesn't seem to be easy to reach them as all people who reached that rank were elders, more or less.

Arthur saw four people with the same red robe as Kieran and three of them were elders with the last being a middle-aged Pigolo.

It's pretty hard to guess their age but thanks to his Appraisal, discovering their age was a piece of cake. There was even an old Pigolo who lived for more than a century.

Approximately twenty minutes later, after crossing a few turns and heavily guarded rooms, they finally arrived at a grandiose hall. Twelve pillars stood erect from each side of the hall till the end of it and an extremely large table was at the center of the hall.

There were thirty-six seats around the table and more than half were already taken. From their attire, Arthur was able to guess that they were of a Rank higher than his, even higher than Kieran's as they wore a grey robe with a red hideous face similar to theirs engraved at the back of it.

'Appraisal' was activated and Arthur discovered that all the seated people were all in the Divine Realm. Abel, Arthur and eight other Colonels followed Kieran as they were under his command. The old Pigolo walked to a specific direction and stood behind another elderly Pigolo which had taken one of the thirty-six seats.

Elbel(Race: Pigolo): 3rd Grade Divine Realm.

Age: 84

'Not too strong, still.... an amazing military power.'

Although he was confident in beating any person who didn't ascend to Godhood, he was still amazed by the numerous Divine beings and Immortals this tribe had. This was a desolate land cast out from the rest of the world due to the wall of yang fire, so to build such a grandiose palace, have a humongous army, that's clearly shocking.

This lacks in comparison to the Underworld, where Immortals can be seen everywhere in cities, they are still a power that should not be underestimated.

Arthur was sure that the tribe chief has to be a God and there is the possibility of the presence of more than a God in this tribe. He was not sure that he can escape from so many experts. One Divine Realm cannot hurt him but thirty-six of them along with hundreds of Immortals, adding to that a God, that's not something he can cope with.

....

Except for a few friendly talks, no one dared to talk loudly as the atmosphere was a bit tense and when half an hour passed, all seats were taken except three big red seats at the center of the table.

From the information he got thanks to the Appraisal, Arthur was able to understand the composition of ranks more thoroughly.

One General had five Army Commander under him.

One Army Commander had Ten Colonels under him.

One Colonel had 25 Majors under him.

One Major had 10 Captains under him.

And since there were thirty-six Generals, then there were three hundred and sixty Immortals, if we don't include hidden experts or trump cards that the tribe surely have.

....

At last, footsteps rang in the ears of all present people in the hall, which was followed by an invisible pressure that made the atmosphere tenser. Three silhouettes appeared from the end of the Hall. Calm footsteps, overwhelming presence and godly aura, there were no doubts that the newcomers were Gods.

Despite having the complete confidence in dealing with a Peak Grade God, Arthur still felt a slight pressure. It happened each time he met with a God, this kind of pressure cannot be shaken off with just a raise of stats, it's the aura of superiority, whilst he is still technically a mortal, he has a long lifespan thanks to ascending to the Divine Realm, but it's not endless and one day or another, if he doesn't become a God, he will definitely die of old age. However, a God never dies of old age unless there are special circumstances.

"Hehehe, I apologize for my lateness. My bones are getting old and I have been forced to move a lot these couple of days."

From the shadows covering most of the hall, an old aged Pigolo accompanied by two other elderly Pigolo strode from afar, heading towards the table.

'Appraisal'

Ti Eru (Race: Pigolo): 4th Grade God Realm.

Age: 501

Ti Buo (Race: Pigolo): 3rd Grade God Realm.

Age: 480

Ti Fuer (Race: Pigolo): 3rd Grade God Realm.

Age: 481

The two figures behind the chief tribe were at the 3rd Grade and the leader himself was a 4rd Grade God, that was not as strong as the Lich King and Kilian but they were still Gods and should not be looked down upon.

The leading silhouette, which wore a golden robe and had a long white beard unmatching with his amazingly hideous face, unceremoniously sat on the central seats followed by the remaining two.

The three of them were like three huge boulders pressuring the present Generals and Commanders, none dared to keep chatting and remained silent as they were a bit reluctant and afraid to receive the full-on anger of the chief tribe.

Arthur kept his Divine Sense in check and retracted his Sixth Sense, not daring to draw too much attention to himself. He didn't even look at them straightly, but unlike the rest, he was not the least bit afraid. He just didn't want to get found out or bring unnecessary troubles upon himself.

His mission in this tribe is partially complete, he just needs to find a Spatial Master. He is going to wait for Gutcha to find some information for him and if in a week's time, nothing is found, he'll try crossing the wall of yang fire and venture outside to seek spatial masters. He just needs to possess one and gain the necessary skills to create a long enough spatial tunnel leading to Earth's frequency. It's not going to be easy but he has to try it, even if there is only one percent chance of Lucy being there.

"Now let's get on with bullshittery and cast away your shameless embarrassed attitudes! THIRTY PERCENT! I'm sure you know what that number means!"

The calm and easy-going attitude changed drastically when Ti Eru sat, he even spat some saliva which landed on the Commander's faces not far away from him yet none dared to protect or get angry.

One burly Pigolo with a humongous height of 2.5 meters hesitated a bit before he spoke

"T-Tribe chief, we were caught u-unprepare...."

'BANG!'

Ti Eru interrupted him as he banged his fist on the table, shaking it whole and scaring the burly Pigolo witless. He gazed at the General venomously and retorted

"Unprepared my ass!! There are no such rules that they have to wait for us to prepare! For god's sake, we're enemies and you're not even prepared when they launch such a tiny sneak attack and send only their trash troops? I did not build this tribe to be bullied like an injured dog!"

Hearing the bombardment of the chief tribe, the burly Pigolo could only drop down his head and not dare to look back at Ti Eru for fear of being humiliated further.

'BANG!'

The more he talked, the angrier he became, Ti Eru's fist caused cracks to appear on the table. His face flushed and his body started shaking for sometime before he finally calmed down.

Although he suppressed his anger, Arthur could feel an extremely cold chill emanating from him.

"I'm not someone easy to bully! Our tribe will declare war at once with these dirty reptiles! So what if they have a one-star array master, we won't back down!"

Followed by his declaration, the generals kind of regained their couarge and started encouraging him and shouting in excitement. Very soon, the tense atmosphere but nobody dared to say reckless words, they just cheered for while before calming down.

"Ti Buo, you lead five Generals along with all their troops and pulverize those cockroach holes they dug a few years ago. Ti Fuer, you lead twenty Generals and pressure them."

"As for me, I'll go to their headquarters with the rest and demand compensations! Hmpf! I don't believe that they would try to sneak attack us with nothing up their sleeves. There must be something that happened! Hmpf! Damnable reptiles!"
