[D] Fusion Arrives at Port Karolin

[Reijin]

"Let's start things off. You offer your side of things, and I'll take it into consideration. You must realize that I have the best interests of my people to hold," Halon reminded them.

Reijin looked to Vejita I a moment before speaking. "As you know, there is a massive militaristic competition known as Dante's Abyss: Conquest taking place here. Four armies were chosen to compete in this tournament, and these four armies chose colors to represent them. Each of the four has full intentions of winning this competition, so I will not lie to you and claim that we are seeking to save the world. You, as a leading representative, are more intellegent than that.

'Instead, I have to express that with four armies fighting so intensely to succeed in this competition, you have to realize that there is no way that any village on this island will be able to simply avoid the conflict. Everyone will be involved in some form or another. The very nature of the competition is to literally control every square inch of this island, whether you control happy villages, or burned to the ground remains.

'We chose blue to remind us of the open space. It is the color of tranquility. It is the color of the sea and sky. It is the color of hope. We wish to succeed in this tournament just as badly as any other army on this island, but our aim is to keep the bloodshed on the innocents to a minimum. Every village is going to find themselves under someone's control at some point or another," Reijin stressed, spreading his arms widely before clasping his gloved hands back together and leaning back.

"We just want to keep things as peaceful as possible, so that after this tournament is over you may return to living your peaceful lives. We will do anything that it takes to win this tournament, but we wish to offer everyone the opportunity to keep this as clean and bloodless as possible. We do not wish to cause harm to the outlying villages if they are willing to work with us.

'Another army nearby... Guess what color they chose to represent them? Black. They chose black. The color of desolation. Of emptiness. Of destruction. Their intention is to simply burn the villages to the ground and their way of thinking is that if there are no villages left on the island, then there is noone left to fight them, granting them victory. Regardless of the opportunity to grant safety to the people, they kill for the enjoyment of tormenting the suffering. We wish to stop that. Even now, our scouts believe that one of their forces is hiding just north of here preparing a military strike on this Port."

Reijin leaned forward in his chair and placed his hands before him, palms up, in a sign of peace while the former King simply watched stonefaced. "Assist us in this operation and offer us your men, and in return, we shall do what we can to keep the bloodshed to a minimum so that those that survive may return home to care for their families."
