Reborn as an Extra

"If it's about guarding and patrolling, then we Beast folk are willing to send one of our SS-rankers…" (Beast Folk Representative)

The representative of the beast tribe said in a calm and confident tone as he stared into Ryul's eyes. (Yeah, cat girls exist in this world too…)

There are several major tribes and they are currently ruled by beast overlords.

Overlords is a title in the beast folk given to only those who reach rank SS.

Their technology is significantly less developed compared to Humans, but they are not to be underestimated either.

There's an old saying: 'The most amount of berserkers are always found in the Beast people's army!'

They have several major tribes like the Fox tribe, Feline tribe, etc, but all of these tribes are jointly ruled by Overlords.

The Beast folk are located on a much smaller continent located in the northeast of the Elven Empire. They share their small continent with Dwarfs and other weaker races.

The human continent is located in the northwest area direction of the Elven Empire, Demon continent is near the southwest area of the Elven Empire.

The now-ruined Maya continent is located far to the west of the Human Empire.

"But in return we expect more dungeon rewards to be tilted on our side around this time… we have some talented children to take care of after all…" (Beast Folk Representative)

There's no free lunch, after all, the beast folk representative agreed to come forward and send one of their SS-rankers on this dangerous job, it was all for the sake of getting more resources.

Although the other SS-rankers didn't particularly like this approach, they also understood the situation and no one objected to this.

Ryul and Ashtel nodded their heads, which means the proposal of the beast folk representative was approved.

Then Ashtel spoke next:

"From our side, We will send Neo on this mission, with his vast monster army, it would be much better to send him on this scouting mission…" (Ashtel)

"Also we don't need any major resources for this work, we just hope everyone can cooperate in this time of difficulty…" (Ashtel)

The human race is located on the biggest continent of this planet and out of all the dungeons that open in the whole solar system, nearly twenty-five percent are solely controlled by humans.

Thus, they have no shortage of resources, waging a hundred years of war is no big deal for them nowadays, they are fully self-sufficient. (The war experiences gained during the thousand-year war are no joke…)

The representatives of other races nodded their heads in approval and praised Ashtel's decision a lot.

"As the head of the alliance, we will be sending two of our SS-rankers to this mission… as for the compensation, we will loosen the burden on our world tree this time…" (Ryul)

Hearing Ryul's words, nearly all of the representatives were shocked, they all knew that Ryul was trying to cut off their opportunity to get benefits from the world tree.

But before they could say anything, Ryul continued:

"We need to prepare and give ample rest to the world tree, a new war is right upon us, I would ask you all to understand our situation and give us face…" (Ryul)

In simple words, Ryul was saying them to 'F*ck off! We gonna keep all benefits to ourselves during the next few years!'.

All the other representatives wanted to severely criticize Ryul's actions, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, all cards are in Ryul's favor right now, he has no one to restrain and even the strongest person Ashtel is his friend so there is no opposition.

Moreover, the Elves have the favor of the World Tree, without their permission no one would be acknowledged by the World Tree.

Then they also have Syvis, and no one wants to offend an SS-rank healer, in case they had to ask for healing, it will cause problems for them if they can't hire Syvis.

All of this means that the Elven race is literally dominating the whole alliance alone! And no one dares oppose them right now.

"Well, of course, we aren't inhumane, we will only reduce the goods produced by the world tree for a certain amount… it's not going to be reduced to zero…" (Ryul)

The world tree produces various types of fruits that are capable of enhancing the 'elemental affinities' of those who consume them.

Sometimes the World tree can even produce fruits that significantly improve in smoother realm ascension and enhance the person's talent slightly.

Such rare items are always in demand all over the world.

Even the fallen branches of the world tree are extremely valuable as they can be used to create S-rank wands for mages all over the world.

The Leaves of the World tree can be used to create high-grade nourishment potions and can even be used as mild healing items.

Drinking the juice produced from the flowers of the world tree can increase lifespan and vitality.

Simply speaking, the world tree is a literal treasure box that gives endless benefits.

Due to the treaty, the Elven race has to give a certain percentage of these goods to the alliance and distribute it evenly among the weaker races as a form of support from the alliance.

Even Humans provide a certain amount of resources extracted from the dungeons to support the weaker races.

The alliance is a great help for all races, it creates a harmonious and cooperative platform for all races.

Without the existence of this alliance, it would have been difficult to keep so many races in check and there would have been endless wars on this planet.

The reason why there are no wars right now is because of the alliance too.

(The war between Orcs and Humans was indirectly caused by the schemes of demon general Azazel, nowadays relations between humans and Orcs are much milder than how they used to be…)

"Hmm, although we don't have any SS-rankers to send on this mission, we can provide a major discount on the maintenance cost of all the technological equipment that will be used during this mission…" (Dwarf Representative)

"Oh! That would be a great help… With the technological accomplishments of the Dwarves, we have no problem in trusting the equipment to you…" (Ashtel)

Asthel was pleasantly surprised by this proposal and nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Originally the humans would have had to bear the whole cost of equipment maintenance but with the dwarves providing a major discount, things will get much easier.

The dwarf representative who looked quite young by his race's standards smiled happily at Ashtel's approval and said:

"Well, our revenue has been decreasing a lot recently… so we are trying to attract more customers by providing discounts… besides even with discounts given, we will be able to make a considerable profit from this…" (Dwarf Representative)

Ashtel and others nodded their head in agreement, they all are working for the better of their own races, thus they all know how much effort the Dwarf is putting in.

Due to the mutual understanding between each SS-ranker, they all admired each other's devotion to their races.

They may all be extremely strong and aloof in the eyes of the common folk, but the heaviest responsibilities also fall on their shoulders.

If their race wants extinct while still being under their protection, then that will be the greatest shame to their name in their opinion.

'The strongest people might get to enjoy a lot of benefits in peaceful times, but when the hard times come, they are the first to suffer…'

Each of the SS-rankers present here in this meeting represents the hopes and dreams of millions of people, and each of them carries the weight of responsibility to protect their people and hometown.

None of them will back off when it comes to protecting the survival of their race.

The representatives of the weaker races may fear the power that Ashtel and Ryul hold, but none of them will back off if they are pushed too much.

Ashtel and Ryul both know this fact, thus they dare not make the whole alliance their opponent.

'Even the Biggest Mountain may collapse under the collective will for survival'

…

"Okay, these were the major matters, the rest are all minor matters that need to be addressed now…" (Ryul)

The major matters for the alliance include any upcoming war or the strange behaviors of the demon race.

On the other hand, minor matters include, 'How many resources to distribute to a certain race', 'Which race to put on the outer edge patrol duty during the next decade', 'Which race should trade their rarer resources in the next decade', etc.

All these matters are also discussed in this meeting.

The duties of various races for the next decade are decided in this meeting with the tacit approval of everyone.

The situation of conflict in interests arrives sometimes but with the advice provided by so many SS-rankers, it's quite easy to solve most of the problems.

With the thinking capabilities of so many SS-rankers combined, there are very few problems that can't be solved.

This amazing harmony and this amazing mutual understanding between so many SS-rankers, who barely even know each other is indeed a sight to behold.

Being able to cooperate like this on such a large scale, perhaps that is the reason why they were all able to avoid extinction from the endless onslaught of the monsters and demons.
