A two weeks later after meeting Ramia and still going through her training from hell.
"We probably need an army." Smol Ramia said as she was laying on my back as me along with Ruth and Uni laid on the ground worn out while catching our breaths.
"What…. Are you talking about….?" I asked between catching breaths.
"Well I just got connected with my main body, and the memories I have aren't making our situation look that good, seems the demons are already beginning to muster their army's and in about Two Years at the minimum Be'lakor will regain his body." She said making my eyes widen at hearing that.
"Be'lakor? The god king of the demons, and the demon king you killed back in your day? He's back?" I ask as I pull myself up as we all sat up as this was serious.
"Yep and he's back with a vengeance, though right now he's nothing but a shadow of himself, seems he bound his soul to the shadows so even if his body was destroyed, he couldn't truly die, though it took him well over a thousand years for his soul body to properly reform itself, I mean you've heard the news of the mass migration of demons since a civil war has broke out right?" She mentioned to me which was true.
A few days ago a portion of the continent of Rundala declared themselves as True Demons and that those that weren't like them as fakes as the began a mass murder spree forcing the other demons to fight back while the noncombatants are fleeing to other countries, with many going to the US, Canada and Australia, but now I know that this was Be'lakor's doing that was causing this strife within the demon population.
"And how the hell are we going to amass an army that can fight the demons? You know that's not a simple thing right?" Ruth questioned which got a nod from me and Uni.
"Easy, we get the tribes of Lizardmen to fight with us, them and the wild Brayherds of Beastmen that are in the wilds of Australia, Siberia and the northern isles of Canada." She went onto say which made us all give her a look like we were looking at an insane person.
"What? Don't tell me you three don't have the balls to go and get that done?" She said trying to egg us on, which irritated us, it didn't work.
"Both of those tribes that your talking about are more monster than anything their demihuman says about them, the Lizardmen just don't like anyone that isn't from their race period since they view everyone weaker than themselves and as for the Beastmen, those savages wander around the wilds and randomly come and attack towns and either destroy them or run away when the military comes to fend them off, what makes you think those tribes would form an army to help us attack Rudala?" I ask her with a raised brow.
I mean she has a point that it would be for the best to have more people if we are going to war against the 'true' demons as there calling themselves, if we had an army that could hold them in Rudala and forcibly keep them there while we deal with their generals and their leader we could save the world from at least one threat, one threat that seems more pressing than the other two currently.
"Your over thinking this whole thing, it's rather easy to make them join our cause, all you got to do is one simple thing." She said with a smug smile on her face.
"Just beat them into submission and they will have to listen to you! The law of the jungle rings true for those tribes, so beating them and their leaders up will make you have the right to lead them!" She says as she smiles while rubbing her nose, almost like she thinks she's smart for giving that idea.
"But aren't they all at Ruth's Strength or higher? They can rip trees out of the ground to smash people with them and Chuck giant boulders long distances as well, Ruth can do those things but I'm not thrilled with fighting an army of Ruth's." I say trying to imagine fighting multiple Ruth's all at the same time and that each one wanted to rip my head off and it didn't make me feel good imagining that.
"Those more of the serious melee fighters in their tribes that are that strong, which true their are a lot, but plenty of them are more specialized in other things than strength." She explains but I shake my head.
"Lizardmen speak strickly Saurian a language no other race can even try to speak, and those Brayherds speak the Ancient Beastmen tongue which barely any current modern Beastmen like Ruth or Uni can both speak and understand it, and neither of them do." I went to point out the elephant in the room.
If we can't communicate properly with these tribes then there's no way we can lead them to war as they won't understand any of our commands and communication is key in wars after all.
"That's an easy fix, you already have your resident language translator already." She says with a nod as we all look around and don't see anyone she's talking about.
Though the next moment Orbie comes out of a portal from wherever she came from as she came over to me and rubbed herself against me with her small, soft and chubby body as she kissed my cheek.
"Orbie is who I'm talking about, she can not only get you guys to the tribes instantly through her portals but she must be able to understand every language as she is a Twisted Being after all, things of an Eldritch nature need to be able to understand the language of the things they influence." Smol Ramia went onto explain making me hold Orbie in my arms as we looked at eachother.
"Can you do that?" I ask to which she nods while giving what she could of a thumbs up with her tentacle like hands.
Her eyes then went all hypno looking before I, along with Ruth and Uni, grabbed at our own heads as we felt a scratching itch manifest somewhere within our brains as if something was being put there.
After awhile it stopped allowing us to catch our breaths, "There, now you three should be able to understand those tribes without issue, but I know you have lives outside of all this saving the world stuff, when you have things figured out you can head down there, though I don't think with your skills it would take more than a week, and besides we still have time with the main me going off and doing Guerrilla warfare in Rundala to slow the process of Be'lakor's full return." She went onto say while I just sighed.
'I need a break from this save the world crap' is all I thought before our training resumed once more.

So I made a mega folder for you guys to go look at to see the AI Art I used to make the characters for these tribes that will show up later.
And sometime, when I get the chance I'll make a folder link for you guys that holds all the characters that are in this story and my various other stories so you can go to those links and see who is who and what they look like.
Many pictures I would like to post here would get shadowbanned if they weren't censored to be posted here for everyone else to see.
And I know that it's hard to copy the links on mobile but I have over 100 pics just for you guys to look at, so here's the mega link.
