Chapter 125: | 125 | Stubborn Tribes: Tigris Tribe
Somewhere in the vast archipelago was an island where two stubborn tribes meet. It was also the island of the Colonial Armory Depot, uttering its significance to the colony of Eisenberg. The two tribes were the Tigris Tribe and the Leo Tribe.
The Tigris Tribe was a tribal society only consisting of tiger beastfolks. They were furry ones with orange and black stripes, known for being exceptionally durable and strong hunters.
The Tigris were a particular strange kind of beastfolks as they were severely interested in dominating others with their exceptional capabilities.
On the other hand, there was the Leo Tribe. Another tribal society of the island primarily comprising of lion beastfolks. The Leo Tribe had an even stranger society even when compared with the Tigris Tribe.
It was because of their polygamist nature that creates factions of harems throughout the tribe. The male beastfolks of Leo were known to be extremely strong in comparison to the Tigris. While their female was numerable, rivalling the numbers of male and female tiger beastfolks.
These two societies were, as said before, incredibly stubborn. A resistance from them was an expected even for the colonist of Eisenberg.
Which... creates a question.
How does the human leader of the rebellion plan to recruit both tribes into her cost? Well, that was for her to struggle and answer. After all, she was the first rebel who's human that actually led an attack against the colony of Eisenberg.
Walking towards the habitat of the Tigris Tribe were the group of rebels and their bodyguard, the giant Minokin Espada. With him on their side, it was gave them a feeling as though they were children being protected by their father.
Though, they didn't mind the peculiar feeling. After all, Espada was very strong in their eyes.
As Hermona walked through the evergreen shrubs and rustling bushes, she noticed a couple of structures in the distance, signaling their arrival on the tribe. But before she could take a step forward, she felt a large hand on her shoulder.
"What are you planning to do, Hermona?" Espada questioned with raised eyebrows. After all, she hadn't told him of her plan regarding the recruitment of the Tigris Tribe.
Hermona slowly turned her head towards the giant Minokin, making her gaze upward. She raised her knuckle with a confident smirk and answered his inquiry. "Freedom!"
Her determined expression and confident stature merely made the giant Minokin frown before softly tapping her head. Though, such a tap was enough to rock her braincells.
"That's a bad idea, Hermona."
"Reality is far from such simple ideas. They need to know what they would be able to get from the freedom you are giving." Espada wasn't as intelligent as the others, but he wasn't dumb.
He was a Warchief of a defeated tribe before joining the United Navy. He had his fair share of thoughts in regards to freedom.
"I see what you mean, Espada. But I don't know much about what I can give to them for their participation in the rebellion." Hermona wasn't as politically-inclined person compared to Espada.
"You can say anything you want. The actualities of what they can do after the rebellion can be negotiated afterward." Espada suggested, causing the wyvern rider to raise an eyebrow.
"As such, despite being a human, she is the spark of the rebellion. The first trigger."
Hearing that the human girl before him killed a colonial envoy and burned his ship into the abyssal depths of the sea made the Tigris Chief furrow his eyebrows.
"Killing a colonial envoy and burning his ship to the abyss is impressive, to say the least." The Tigris Chief expressed as it was something he couldn't do in fear of what could happen afterward.
The Tigris Tribe might cease to exist, so killing a colonial envoy was an act that he could respect.
"What is your name, girl?" The Chief questioned Hermona, who coolly answered. "I am Hermona, and I want you to join our rebellion. I believe you can benefit from it as well."
When the Tigris Chief heard the word 'benefit' from the mouth of a human, he was in a state of disbelief. However, he calmed himself down, understanding the differences between each one.
In his eyes, Hermona was merely the black tiger of humanity.
But being a black tiger wasn't bad. It made things interesting, though he does wonder what kind of benefits his tribe could gain from the benefits.
"Please tell." He said to the human girl, who merely nodded and continued. "First of all, you wouldn't have to deal with colonial envoys. Second, no need for any offerings or gifts. And finally, you will be free from tyranny."
The Tigris Chief listened carefully to what Hermona had to say and could only chuckle after hearing it. "Interesting words, Hermona Girl. Excellent job, I am intrigued by your rebellion."
"The Tigris Tribe will be willing to participate in your rebellion. I will be expecting for you to honor your words after this rebellion of ours, Hermona Girl. It would be disappointing to see your as our new tyrant." The Tigris Chief remarked while chuckling.
"As if I'll become someone like them, though I'd like to warn you about one simple thing. The moment you start enslaving others, we will be fighting to take you down." Hermona responded with determination.
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind." The Tigris Chief nodded in understanding, though before he could continue discussing with the rebel leader. An explosion resounded throughout the island.
*BOOM!!!*
The Tigris Guards felt their bodies tensed as they could feel the power of the explosion. The Chief was also surprised by the unexpected explosion. But what made him more astounded was the words of Hermona.
"Looks like Miss Mercedes is giving them the trouble they deserve." She remarked, to which Espada chuckled. "She's giving them more trouble than they could ever wish for."
"It appears that your friend is the one causing problems to the depot." The Tigris Chief expressed his curiosity, which was satiated with Espada's following words. "She's working hard to get you better weapons."
"At any rate, Espada. Should we head to our next destination." Hermona beamed a smile to the somewhat aloof giant Minokin.
"Our job here is done, so let's go." Espada nodded in agreement as their mission in the Tigris Tribe had been completed. It was time to recruit the Leo Tribe, which would be more complicated than the Tigris Tribe.
