2 weeks after the day of the speech…
The world of the World Camel.
At this moment, the world of the World Camel already experienced a huge change. After 2 weeks of relentless work, inside this gigantic Camel was no longer just a vacant world, it was now transformed.
The planet already underwent some minor terraforming.
Pathways were already dug out by some of the most powerful Earth affinity beasts to create seas and oceans, giving this world a livelier look.
In just these 2 weeks, vegetation already filled this planet.
The different continents were now much more developed.
And most importantly of all, the Capital City of the Beast Empire was already being constructed. Several different construction works were still going on at the same time as the Metal and Earth affinity beasts worked overtime.
Mostly, despite their incredible intelligence, since they didn't go to school to learn like most of the sentient races, beasts were more or less still dumb.
Not with the introduction of the Wisdom Priest though.
The 2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Golden Langur and the 4th Upper Beast Priest, the Deer Demi-God were responsible for transforming this planet.
With the urging of the Wisdom Priest, one of the very first completed buildings that was erected in the planet, precisely in the Capital City was the Beast Academy to teach all the beasts of this Empire basic knowledge.
The academy building was completed in just a week and within the next week, lectures and activities already started with the Wisdom Priest at the head.
Apart from that, other important buildings like the war strategy building and the palace of the Beast King was already being built some time ago.
Today, the palace of the Beast King was finally completed.
It was a gigantic building modeled after the head of a lion.
The gigantic mane of this Lion were made with sturdy metal that could withstand the bombardment of multiple warships or the full-powered attack of a Calamity Grade Super, it was by far the most expensive construction so far.
After the completion of the building, it was finally opened today by the Beast King who crowned it as the beginning of the era of the Beasts.
Immediately after the opening ceremony, there was a gathering of Beast Priests inside the palace of the Beast King.
A lot of other activities were going on but with this palace completed, the Beast King dared not defy them. He felt that it was time to take action again.
At this moment, all the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition were gathered.
In total, excluding the Beast King, there were 24 Beast Priests!
This was 25 Calamity Grade Beasts!
In the Minerva Star System, this was a ridiculous amount of power.
Inside the Palace of the Beast King, the Demonic Lion like expected sat at the throne. Below him were 5 chairs, bigger and more luxurious than the others.
Seated on these 5 chairs were the 5 Upper Beast Priests.
The 1st Upper Beast Priest, Snow Monkey, the Primate Priest.
The 2nd Upper Beast Priest, Golden Langur, the Wisdom Priest.
The 3rd Upper Beast Priest, Doom Cow, the Destruction Priest.
The 4th Upper Beast Priest, Deer Demi-god, the Mammalian Priest.
Then the 5th Upper Beast Priest, Bumblebee, the Mechanic Priest.
Beneath these 5 chairs were 20 more chairs occupied by the other Beast Priests that served the Upper Beast Priests. From how they were seated, it could easily be seen which Upper Beast Priest they were under.
The Apocalypse Bear, the Bear Priest sat directly beneath the chair of the Doom Cow. Clearly, he was under the 3rd Upper Beast Priest.
Alongside him under the Doom Cow were the Devourer Shark, the Devourer Priest; the Berserker Turtle, the Turtle Priest; and the Speedster Wolf, the Wolf Priest. These were the Destruction Priest's followers.
Directly beneath the Deer Demi-god was a miniaturized silhouette of the Shelter Priest himself, the World Camel.
Alongside him under this Upper Beast Priest were the Detective Dog, the Dog Priest; the Strength Elephant, the Elephant Priest; and the Goldfish, the War Priest.
Directly beneath the Snow Monkey was the Necromancer Cockroach, the Death Priest.
Alongside him under this Upper Beast Priest were the Demonic Mandrill, the Demon Priest; and the Scarlet Macaw, the Storm Priest.
Directly beneath the Golden langur was the Queen Valkyrie, the Vulture Priest.
Alongside her under this Upper Beast Priest were Stally, the Oscar Fish, the Emissary Priest; the Nightmare Owl, the Watcher Priest; and the Magic parrot, the 2nd Emissary Priest.
Then directly beneath the Bumblebee was the Plecostomus, the Roaming Priest.
Alongside this always frowning Beast Priest under the Bumblebe were the Proboscis, the Priest Scientist; the Racoon, the Pirate Priest; and the Trickster Snake, the Deceit Priest.
These were all the Beast Priests that were under the command of the Beast King. At this moment, they were all quiet and solemn as they looked at the leader.
Standing up and facing them with his back, the Demonic Lion bowed.
"This mark 50 years since we lost the Crocodile Priest, the Hare Priest, and the Fox Priest". His face was solemn and sad.
"Like we promised, again, we are here to remind them that we never lost sight of the goal that pushed us to band together in the first place".
"We still believe in the cause".
"We still believe in the good news".
"We still believe in the Beast Empire".
"We've come to reaffirm that we still believe in a world where Beasts can live freely without the fear and pressure of living under the sentient races".
"Today, we reaffirm our promises before the vestiges of their remnant wills".
"We shall never lose sight of our goal".
"We shall never lose sight of our goal". The other Beast Priests echoed as mimicking their leader, they also bowed in respect.
Immediately after paying respects to the dead, the Demonic Lion turned to face his Beast Priests again and this time, his face was serious.
"2 weeks ago, we commenced our plan".
"We've been planning towards it for decades and finally, we could execute it". He looked at all the Beast Priests present. "I don't know how you felt about it but personally, I felt excited…" He paused.
"I felt liberated".
"In just 1 day after that incredible show of power, we were able to rescue millions of our brothers that were stuck in slavery for years".
"We were finally able to partially break the curse that has been plaguing us since the inception of the galactic age".
"From inception, we were always the hunted".
"But for once, we became the hunters".
His face became even more serious. "But that is not enough".
"To truly achieve our goals, we need to rescue and liberate every single beast in slavery to accelerate our plans of building our Beast Empire".
His eyes narrowed as he looked at them. "Shaking the table once is not enough, we need to do it again and again, and again, and again".
"We need to do it until every single beast is safe and reunited with us".
The eyes of one of the Beast Priests narrowed as he raised a hand.
"Yes".
The Plecostomus frowned. "We stayed in the dark for so long, finetuning our plans because we knew that were foundations are not yet sturdy enough to take on the Ackermann and Nak States and come out victorious".
"Against each individual state, perhaps we can emerge victorious but we clearly don't have that luxury since we already attacked both states".
"If we attack just one, the other is sure to intervene".
"At this moment, the States are clearly apprehensive of our overall power, that is why they're slowing down to probe us and know us more".
"With our current deterrence, this is the perfect time to slowly rescue all our enslaved brothers, unnecessary violence is not the way".
"We will lose more than we gain that way".
The Beast King calmly stared at the Plecostomus. "You know, our ancestors thought like you. They were even more extreme, they thought they could coexist with the sentient races and you know where that landed us?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Here".
"Against the sentient races, peace was never an option".
"This is my decision, we will cause more chaos to rescue more of our brothers, is that understood?"
The Plecostomus frowned a bit but he recovered. "Yes, King".
It was normal to have differences in views but this Plecostomus would not push it more than that, he had absolute respect for the Beast King. Afterall, he was the one who saved them from the fear of being a rogue lone beast.
The Beast King nodded. "I have been thinking about this for a long time and I already arrived at the perfect plan which is to designate missions".
"First, Emissary Priest Stally".
"Yes, King". The ridiculous-looking Oscar Fish answered.
"You are to…"
He focused on the next Beast Priest. "Roaming Priest, you shall be designated…"
He went on to the next Beast Priest. "Bumblebee…"
For an hour, the Beast King kept on giving out missions.
While the Beast Coalition planned in the dark, the Minerva Star System instinctively got set for more shaking.
