While the {Purple Cobra Sect} was unwittingly plotting their end things in nearest cities were far more complicated.
Currently a group of four city lords were meeting through the usage of some simple group communication features. It was a feature provided by the Kaiser Mantis Communication Jade (Kai Jade for short). Each were actually sat in their own manors yet a virtual image coming from the small phone - such a thing would’ve required expensive formations before but with the {Fu Family Financial Group} working closely with the {Kaiser Mantis Family} such things were far more available.
Even in places like this desert!
The reason was because of the sighting of a certain giant winged snake who made quite a big ‘mess’ within the desert; though it could be said that it being a snake was still one of the points that came up. Unlike what Midas believed they had some scouting abilities to know what happened on the popular trade routes… Is what one would like to believe. In actuality it was difficult for those travelling between the core {Central Cities} to not notice the giant snake even if there was a vast distance between them.
At first some travellers may have noticed the snake in passing yet as it was ‘small’ they hardly focused on it. However, when it dived down from the sky it was very clear to all in the surroundings who had taken notice that it must be monstrous in size! Yet what really made it blow up was the destructive potential it had shown when it created that sandstorm.
With that happening some of the related parties quickly sent out a message through their communication jades. After that it didn’t take long for the 4 lords to find out.
They, of course, didn’t have the same information as the sect did since they didn’t have someone who was able to witness Midas flying away again. As such they still strongly believed this legendary beast was located deep within the sandstorm and may even be nesting there for the long term. Their discussion was more interested in what their next steps should be…
Because of the possible danger and opportunity the lords of {Flaming Tiger City}, {Aqua Liger City}, {Earthly Lion City} and {Thundering Panther City}.
“I think we all agree that we need more information on the beast so why are you all refusing to send out people?!” <Thundering Panther Lord>
A shaggy haired young looking cat-kin (appearing in his early to mid twenties) slammed his fists onto the chair while grinding his teeth. Although they weren’t in the same room they were located in the same position in relation to each other so his virtual image accurately turned to glare at the other lords letting them know of his displeasure. Eventually he turned to the man sitting beside him and the only non-humanoid. It was the Camtaur ‘middle-aged’ leader of {Flaming Tiger City} who also had a deep frown on his face.
“You aren’t also going to listen to this wet towel’s nonsense are you? Clearly these humans are nothing but cowards; at least the old lion has his age as an excuse to hide inside his walls while hoping it all blows over!” <Thundering Panther Lord>
“If you just wanted to send a few scouts out we could agree with that but you plan to send people out to poke the monster with a stick. You may be inexperienced but you should realise that we have barely been able to survive against the beasts. They number more yet also are stronger than us.
If this beast can create that sandstorm by itself, wiping out a city will be as easy as deciding to do so.” <Aqua Liger Lord>
“That is why we should see if we can gain this beast for ourselves - if we can put our resources towards growing it we can easily take care of the {Gold Dust Beast Clans} once and for all!” <Thunder Panther Lord>
“Do you want to take out the beast clans or do you want to take out us?” <Aqua Liger Lord>
The person who responded was the only woman among the three; she looked slightly older than the cat-kin with straight but medium length hair. She was sat opposed to the serious looking camtaur with the cat-kin on one side and a sturdy but bald old-man on the other. That old man being the lord of {Earthly Lion City}.
He hadn’t said anything as of yet but it was almost certain he agreed with the Aqua Liger Lord… In truth so did Flaming Tiger Lord despite disagreeing with the two of them on a lot. It was just a matter of how to break it to the abrasive young man.
“*Sigh* While it is true I dislike this being the case; we truly may not be strong enough to deal with the beast. What I’m more worried about than disturbing the beast is one of those overconfident sects declaring a blood feud with it after they fail to capture or kill it. I say we would be fine but if it’s simple minded it may decide that all mortals are as dumb as they are thus wipe us out.” <Flaming Tiger Lord>
