"What?"
Staring at the bishops in front of him, the Fortress Commander widened his eyes in surprise.
"You're going to meet those creatures?"
"Exactly."
Bishop Carl nodded.
"The intelligence we've gathered so far is insufficient, so we need more information. I believe the best approach is to meet and talk with them."
"Talk... But they're Demon Beasts!"
"Whether they are Demon Beasts or not is not for you to decide."
Elf Bishop spoke calmly.
"At least from the intelligence we have gathered so far, it's clear those creatures possess unusual intelligence, and perhaps we can communicate."
"But... but..."
Upon hearing this, the Commander was at a loss for words. He stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything. This was quite normal. The Kingdom of Flame had always regarded those creatures as Lesser Beasts, never considering that they might possess unusual intelligence. And now, according to these people... they are indeed capable of communication?
