Red Storm

Glow Yulian Provoke.

It was finally starting.

Book 2-3.1 The Shuarei’s Plan

“We must not miss this opportunity.”

At Venersis’s words, the Shuarei’s Glow, the Desert Mole, Hangry Elbotta, just shook his head.

“Using someone else’s crisis as an opportunity to attack will cause a critical damage to my, Hangry’s fame. I understand where you are coming from, Greatest Warrior Venersis, however, it will be enough if we slowly start our attack.”

Venersis was extremely upset inside.

‘How could someone who knows what honor is ignore my honor and make such an order in the past? You were the one who went against the truce the very next day and ordered an attack. Someone like you dares to talk to me about fame and honor?’

Venersis looked at Hangry almost to the point he was glaring at him, but Hangry continued on like he didn’t care.

“Our Greatest Warrior’s flaw is that he is too passionate. Shouldn’t you step back a bit to give the other Greatest Warriors and your subordinate warriors opportunities as well?”

‘Is that what this is all about?’

Venersis lamented Hangry’s words in his mind. In the end, Hangry didn’t want to let Venersis go in the fear that Venersis would have too many achievements.

He had been that way from the beginning, but lately, the other Greatest Warriors as well as the Glow have been trying to limit him too much. Furthermore, Hangry even thought that Venersis was aiming for the Glow position.

The last Glow was not like this. In fact, the last Glow helped stop the other Greatest Warriors’ envies with his own body. He knew the most about what Venersis wanted, and trusted Venersis more than anybody else.

In return, Venersis also gave the Glow his complete loyalty, and did everything in his power to increase the 9 oasis they controlled to 11.

But once Hangry became Glow, he worked with the other Greatest Warriors to limit Venersis, and tried to get in Venersis’s way at any chance he got.

This was the reason that the Shuarei, which had the War God of the West as well as the greatest warrior brigade known as the Desert Sword, still only had eleven oasis.

The internal affairs were as rotten as they could be.

“If you, the tribe’s best warrior, think that is the best course of action, I will think about it. But only if you are planning on giving the warriors of the next generation a chance to build battle experience.”

Which warrior in Shuarei could handle the two brothers whose fame has spread across the desert?

In order to go up against his Desert Sword, he created a new warrior brigade known as the Red Storm. The fact that their skills were similar to that of the Desert Sword was something one of the soldiers reported back after seeing it for themselves.

The majority of the lead warriors in Shuarei with battle experiences were part of Venersis’s brigade. It made sense, since for the last 20 years, 80 percent of the Shuarei’s wars were handled by Venersis.

With Pareia’s current chaos, there was an absolute chance of victory. However, if it was not himself but a different Greatest Warrior who only sought to achieve some merits for himself, their chances were only 50 percent.

“That will not work. Out of Pareia’s Greatest Warriors, only I can handle the Angry Brandistock, The Sharp Teeth, and the Large Spear. In addition, there has been news lately about Glow Baguna’s son, Yulian, the young warrior who has enough strength to be called the Desert Conqueror. Please allow me to go. If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know how long we will need to continue to maintain this status quo.”

“Greatest Warrior Venersis, aren’t you looking down on our Shuarei warriors a bit too much?”

“I am not looking down on them. I am just speaking the truth. Our current Greatest Warriors have not experienced a real battle for a long time. On the other hand, hasn’t Pareia’s warriors faced a large amount of battles until now?”

“Isn’t that why I am saying we will help them build the experiences starting now? Since Pareia is in chaos as you mentioned, what better setting to get some experience? Plus, you should have taken warriors from other Oasis with you when you were involved in many wars in the past to prevent something like this from happening.”

After hearing what Hangry had to say, Venersis was starting to get angry.

‘If you had not denied my requests for reinforcements time after time, half of Pareia’s oasis would already be ours and our warriors would have gained a lot of experience.’

Venersis wanted to shout like that.

If it wasn’t Glow Hangry and the other Greatest Warriors restricting him, he would have been able to even defeat the unified brigades of Pareia’s Greatest Warriors.

However, even Venersis could not defeat three Greatest Warriors while lacking reinforcements and warriors. How could he manage to defeat the enemy who had over three times the amount of warriors?

The reason he managed to even take two oasis away was because of the previous Glow’s full support.

Venersis tried to hold back his anger as he spoke.

“Glow, the ultimate opportunity for our Shuarei to pounce on has arrived. Pareia’s tight defenses are a mess because of the chaos, and thanks to that, the cooperation levels between oasis are in shambles. If we attack right now, within a month, I can offer you two of their oasis.”

‘Please don’t consider me as an enemy, but as an ally.’ That’s how he wanted to end it, but Venersis continued on as if he was trying to console Hangry.

“Please allow the warriors of my oasis and a reinforcement of 10,000 warriors to head out. I will definitely dedicate the glory of the victory to the Shuarei and Glow Hangry-nim.”

Seeing Venersis not stepping back and even bowing a bit as he asked, Hangry’s heart moved a little.

At that moment, one of the other Greatest Warriors who was with them, The Piercing Bow of the Bushy Oasis, Recharei Breeze shouted toward Venersis.

“Bloodied Hand Venersis, aren’t you seeking too much glory? For what reason do you seek so much glory? If the Glow commands you, you should just follow his command. For what reason must you be the one to step forward?”

Venersis also let out his anger and shouted back at Recharei.

“Recharei, a warrior uses all of their strength for the good of their tribe, not for themselves. Are you trying to insult me with those words?”

“You started the insult. If it is not you, we cannot take on Pareia? Aren’t you the one insulting all of Shuarei’s Greatest Warriors?”

“Am I wrong? Did you already forget that you lost to Pareia’s Large Spear? Who was it that saved you when that happened?”

Recharei’s face turned red at Venersis’s response. It was Venersis who had come to his rescue at that time.

“Hmph.”

Recharei did not respond to Venersis’s question before looking toward Hangry and starting to speak.

“If you give this Recharei the warriors of our Bushy Oasis and an additional 10,000 warriors, this Recharei Breeze will guarantee that I will deliver Pareia’s oasis to the Glow.”

“I object. Recharei is a Greatest Warrior who has never led a group of over 10,000 warriors. And please do not forget that to guarantee a victory, I need to take part, Glow.”

“Our Glow will decide whether I go or not, it is not your decision. Why are you flapping your mouth when the Glow has not said anything?”

Recharei looked at Venersis with an expression and nuance that implied that Venersis made a grave mistake as he scolded Venersis and looked toward Hangry.

“Venersis’s crime has started to pierce the heavens. Now he does not even wait for the Glow’s decision and decides for himself what is allowed and not allowed. I want to say that the Glow should punish him for his crimes.”

Because many of the Greatest Warriors and the chiefs of the oasis who were there did not like the fact that Venersis had so much accomplishments, they started to agree and say that Recharei was right.

Hangry became upset after listening and realizing that they might be right, and because he himself did not think positively about Venersis, he took Recharei’s side as he started to speak.

“Greatest Warrior Venersis, think before you speak. This expedition will be handed to Recharei. Each Greatest Warrior should prepare their warriors and send them to Recharei.”

“Glow!”

Venersis shouted loudly but Hangry did not falter a bit as he continued.

“Greatest Warrior Venersis should return to your oasis and take a short break. Even if the other chiefs and Greatest Warriors had not said anything, you’ve been active for quite a bit. Shouldn’t you take a break every so often?”

Stomp.

As Venersis continued to get angry, he subconsciously started to stomp his foot.

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

He was going back and forth between anger and frustration.

“What are you doing? Do you dare to throw a tantrum at the Glow’s order?”

As Recharei shouted at him, Venersis glared at Recharei before abruptly standing up and exiting the paoe.

Behind him, many were saying he was arrogant, that his haughtiness could reach the heavens, and that he was looking down on the Glow.

Venersis looked up at the desert’s blue sky.

‘What are the heavens planning to do with our Shuarei…..’

Venersis was full of lament and had an ominous feeling as he headed toward his paoe.
