Chapter 1145: Alliance (2)


    ?


    The giant elders just slowly turned to look at me as if they were trying to figure out what was going on.


    But there was nothing that I could say about this.


    After all, I had no idea why the Origin Giant wanted me to do this in the first ce.


    Even if he had some kind of admiration towards me for standing up to Solista, it shouldn''t be at the level where he would treat me like this.


    There was a long silence that lingered in the air before the giant elders slowly came back to their senses.


    Even though it was clear by the looks on their faces that they didn''t seem willing to ept this, they didn''t seem like they were going to go against the orders that the Origin Giant gave. Elder Ogrin was the one that spoke for them by saying, "Ancestor, we will obey your orders." The way that he said this was as if he wanted to end this before the Origin Giant could do anything else.


    It was just that the Origin Giant remained silent as if he was waiting for something else.


    Or it was better to say that he was waiting for someone else.


    Seeing that their god wasn''t saying anything else, the giant elders slowly turned to look at me. Even if there were traces of unwillingness in their eyes, it seemed like they were trying topel me to do something.


    I gave a secret bitterugh before saying, "Thank you for this trust, Aurgel."


    It was only after I said this that the Origin Giant startedughing.


    Theughter boomed through the room, showing just how happy he was that I had called him by his name to the shock of the giant elders.


    But after he finishedughing, he said, "Ogrin, there''s something else that I want to tell you all."


    Elder Ogrin and the other giant elders had slightly bitter smiles on their faces when they heard this, but those bitter smiles quickly disappeared before they revealed serious looks.


    Elder Ogrin then said, "Ancestor, if there are any orders you have, please tell us. We are ready to ept them."


    The Origin Giant didn''t answer right away, but then he said, "Create an alliance with the humans."


    "Huh?" All of the giant elders had confused looks on their faces when they heard this.


    It was clear that they didn''t expect to hear the Origin Giant say something like this.


    As if the Origin Giant had expected this from them, he said, "The world is changing and not for the better."


    All of the giant elders knitted their brows when they heard this, but they didn''t say anything as they waited for the Origin Giant to continue his words.


    "There''s a wave of darkness that is about to wash over thends and we need to prepare. Right now, the best choice for us is to ally ourselves with the humans because there''s a certain individual of the human race that is there."


    Though the Origin Giant didn''t say who this was, it was clear to the giant elders who he was referring to.


    There was only one person that he could be referring to.


    But the giant elders didn''t seem to mind that the Origin Giant was talking about him like this.


    After all, they cared more about what the Origin Giant had said before about the wave of darkness.


    After a moment of hesitation, Elder Ogrin took a deep breath and asked, "Ancestor, the wave of darkness that you mentioned...Does it have something to do with the invasion of the demons?"


    All of the elders immediately revealed serious looks.


    After all, this was what they had been concerned about as well.


    They had heard the news of the demons acting up, so they wanted to see if the Origin Giant knew anything about this.


    The Origin Giant didn''t answer right away, but eventually he said, "It does. Only the demons are just a part of it, they aren''t the main thing. There are still other things to worry about, so it''s best if our race finds some allies."


    All of the giant elders knitted their brows even more after hearing this.


    It seemed like Elder Ogrin wanted to ask something else, but before he could...n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Other than this, I can''t tell you anything else. If I were to tell you more, it would vite the agreement that I have with the elder gods."


    "Elder gods..." I softly repeated under my breath.


    There was that term mentioned again, but I still had no idea what he was referring to.


    Last time, Solista had stopped me from questioning him.


    This time...


    Well, it would be hard to question him with all of the giant elders here.


    So I had to hold myself back in the end.


    Especially since I already knew what the answer would have been.


    There was another moment of silence as if they were all in deep thought before Elder Ogrin said, "Ancestor, we will follow your orders."


    "Good. Remember that the future of our giant race will depend on your actions. I hope that you will take care of not just yourselves, but also the rest of our giant race."


    The giant elders all had looks of pride on their faces that also had traces of responsibility as they said, "Lord Origin Giant, please leave it to us."


    With that, the club on the pedestal stopped glowing and the voice of the Origin Giant


    disappeared.


    Once again, the room fell to silence as all of the giant elders looked like they were thinking about something.


    But in the end, Elder Ogrin led the other giant elders to surround me again.


    It didn''t seem like they wanted to harm me, but it was a strange feeling being surrounded by these giants like this. It would have been even worse if it wasn''t for Joan who I was riding on.


    Elder Ogrin suddenly said with a smile, "Your majesty, King Zwein, I would like to extend an offer of alliance between our races."
