Momone stood up obediently, lowered his head, and didn't look at Palmida, as that would be disrespectful to the superior.
"I remember your name is Momone, right? You were also among the commanders of the last vanguard army. Both times, the vanguard army failed. Please explain to me why." Palmida's voice was neither anxious nor impatient, but it had an oppressive force, which was the aura of people who had been in a ruling position for a long time.
"Reporting to President Palmeda, this failure was caused by incorrect intelligence, not the fault of our vanguard army." Although Palmeda was very imposing, Momone still calmed his mind and returned without any panic.
"Did something happen to the undead?" Palmida paused and asked.
"Yes, the undead that attacked us at night were a kind that had never appeared before. They were not the skeletons that had been fighting us before." Momone said seriously.
He is a relatively conservative person and does things calmly. It is precisely because of this that Palmida let him join the vanguard again.
After hearing Momona's words, the generals around him immediately stood up and asked each other questions. They obviously did not expect that the reason for the vanguard's failure was because the undead were different.
"Quiet!"
Palmeda, who was sitting in the main seat, picked up his double-sided axe and slammed it hard on the ground. The clan leaders and generals who were talking around him immediately quieted down and looked at Momone in the field.
Leaning on the double-sided axe, Palmeda raised his head and said to Momone, "Tell me what happened in detail."
Momone recounted the entire incident of the undead attack that night without adding any embellishments, and just told what he saw.
"Momonai, don't talk nonsense. We have never heard of any wild beast undead, let alone the kind of powerful and abnormal-looking undead you mentioned." A chief of the headhunting tribe stood up and pointed at Momona and cursed.
Haven’t they fought against the undead?
Aren’t the undead just human-shaped skeletons? How come there are now skeleton pigs that can emit fire, skeleton wolves with black tails, and skeletons with wings and fast speeds? What a mess.
Even if you want to get away with it, you can't make it up like this. At least make it more reliable.
"Shut up! Are you blaming us lizardmen for deceiving you?" The lizardmen were immediately dissatisfied. This was not just an accusation against Momone, it was dissatisfaction with the lizardmen.
What do you mean? You say we are lying.
The President is from your headhunting tribe, so what? But if you want to put the blame on the lizardmen, that’s not allowed.
Boom boom boom!
Palmeda pounded his double-edged axe hard and shouted louder, "Shut up!"
The Lizardmen and the Headhunters glared at each other and sat down again.
"I believe what Momone says." Palmeda drew everyone's attention as soon as he spoke. He continued, "He's not a fool. He wouldn't talk nonsense about something like this. There are still so many soldiers alive. A simple question would expose his lies, so his words are trustworthy."
The headhunter who had just spoken glanced at Palmeda, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he said nothing more, while the lizardman showed a smug look. Look, no wonder he could become the president. He is indeed more reliable than those small chiefs. This is called having brains.
The goblins, on the other hand, just did what they were supposed to do and would not participate in such discussions. Or it would be pointless for them to participate as no one would care what they thought. The real high-ranking officials in the coalition were all from the Lizardmen and the Headhunters, and the number of goblins among them was pitifully small.
