"After the Demon tribe succumbs to us, we'll put them at the frontlines. We'll use them to exhaust the strength of the Innate Formations. Then when the formations are almost completely depleted, we'll attack. I'm sure we'll get through to the Imperial Sky Palace that way."
Archfiend Antigonus Antigonus fell silent. He nodded. "That sounds like a good plan. I'll leave it up to you to get it done, then!"
"Yes, Honorable Archfiend!"
Yooda responded in agreement, walking out of the tent in large strides. Several minutes later, he set out in search of the Demon tribe's new territory with 5000 fiend warriors.
……
Meanwhile, at the new Demon tribe territory.
Oliver stood outside the stone palace. He was about to go and check on Leia. He turned and stopped short at the sight before him.
His father, the Black Tortoise King, was standing right behind him and staring at him intensely. His gaze was laced with a few hints of suspicion.
"Father!"
Oliver bristled uncomfortably under the Black Tortoise King's razor-sharp gaze but managed to crack a smile. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The Black Tortoise King did not answer his question. Instead, he said, "Come with me. I have a question for you." He turned, heading toward a mountain behind the territory.
Oliver followed closely, not daring to go against his father's orders.
The Black Tortoise King appeared completely neutral, expressionless the entire way there. Oliver did not dare to question further either.
They reached the mountain quickly enough. It was a quiet place, and not many people would go that way.
"Father!"
Oliver felt strangely nervous all of a sudden. He asked carefully, "What's going on? Why do we need to speak here?" It could be his guilt acting up, but Oliver was uneasy about the situation.
"You animal!"
