True Monsters
Chapter 36 - Among us

The construction of the city continued, the arrangement and regulations of the city began to take shape, the royal institutions also began to form with the presence of ministers and leaders in various fields, they were chosen for their role in the kingdom first and their abilities were reviewed by Isabella.

The name of the city is no longer Marras but Catas which is taken from the name of the founder and will be engraved in the world history book later.

I walked to the meeting room in the palace in the middle, when the golden-covered gate was open to see that there were already people waiting for my arrival and Isabella there Isabella in my chair.

Everyone who was there prostrated to welcome my arrival, I sat in the middle of the rectangular table with the most luxurious bench carved from gold and diamond stones.

After I sat all stood up from their prostrations and went back to sitting on their respective benches and the meeting began.

"Isabella what's our schedule today?" Catas.

"City and military drafting" Isabella(law minister).

"My king I've arranged the city as the king ordered and it's almost done" Dion (the minister of development).

"The building model, the water supply in each house through underground pipes and irrigation for plantations is almost complete" Dion said.

I had already drawn up the planning of the city order from my former knowledge, because I was reminded of my village that looked shabby and disheveled, I wanted to build culture and science for my kingdom.

Housing in this city is divided into three groups, small, medium, and large. Depending on the size of Eisi if Eisi has a large body it will go into large parts and so on so that the house in the city is not disheveled and looks neat.

I also ordered Dion to make an underground pipe so that each house has its own water source and wc because we used to have to go to the river to wash the latrines and it was pretty disgusting.

On the outermost part close to the wall will be the arena of plantation and farming and the reason the area is placed on the outermost part close to the inner wall of the wall is because they have the closest access to exit from the city to be able to create a new area outside the wall.

"What about the construction of a new city gate?" Catas.

"The construction of two new gates has been completed in every corner of the wind and can already be used for access in and out" Dion.

Well before the city gate there were only two it included very little.

"Mr Eriot what about the current state of the military?" Isabella.

"Mr.o.d military is still in the form of strength and organization and I expect to be ready in two months' time" Eriot (defence minister).

"It's okay to be well prepared because I don't want any failure in this human extermination mission" Cata said.

"From the eye is there anything new to be discovered?" Eriots.

"There is still no strange movement of humans, as usual they are gathering power from the entire human kingdom but there are quite strange reports from my subordinates, he said, the high priests of the temple are no longer seen" Corto(Minister of the lookout).

"We have to think about the whole worst-case scenario when it comes to the war against humans, it's possible that they seek power from sacred animals because the priests of the temple have ties to them or maybe they have other plans" Isabella.

"Do you know or at least have seen the sacred animal?" Catas.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds until one of them opened his mouth.

"I've heard of when I served the demon lord before, he once told me that holy animals have a shape like ordinary animals but not all of them resemble only basic forms and they have great power and can even flatten a city very easily" Dion's.

"Do you know where they are and what powers they have?" Isabella.

"I don't know exactly their location and strength but that's one of the reasons the previous demon king wanted to make peace with humans" Dion said

"Isabella did your father ever tell you about the sacred animal?"

But there is something strange why such a powerful creature is still unknown to the Eisi when Eisi has been around for a long time and books or information about the Holy Animals have not been found even though I have been looking for it in the whole town I've been through.

"Well this meeting I'll finish and you do your job better with porridge, Corto and Isabella stay while the others can get out" Cata said.

Everyone stood up and saluted me then stepped out of the gate with the sound of steps beginning to disappear leaving the room.

"Isabella you have to listen to this but you must not open your mouth about this until I find strong evidence" Cata said in a low and serious tone.

"What is Cata?" Isabella's face became very curious.

"Corto talk" Cata.

"Well king, I found thin traces of the traitor who became one of the masterminds of the destruction of the kingdom and the demon king first" Corto.

"What's? one of my subordinates betrayed him?".

Corto can only lower his head down with a flat face.

Isabella's face turned pale and her body became very weak because Isabella knew very well her father's subordinates and in her eyes the subordinates were very loyal to her father.

"Why do you expect that?" Isabella.

"I was just wondering why we used to be so easily defeated by humans when if we were that weak we should have been dead before but that was only the day in an instant the kingdom of Eisi was destroyed" Catas.

"On the king's orders I re-investigated the ruins of the old palace and I found a letter that had been torn into small pieces and read only one word after being reconnected" Corto.

"What's the letter?" Isabella.

"For the majesty of the Gods who will be the absolute rulers I present my king to the Gods, the inscription is written in the language of Eisi" Corto.

"Whether of the ten I chose among them one of them betrayed" Isabella.

"It could not be because until now we do not know who wrote the letter" Cata.

"But for now we must focus on building this kingdom and prepare for the future, the problem should still not be widely known because it will be very dangerous in case of internal divisions" Cata said.

Elsewhere

"Ah great saint beast, please give us the strength to fight against the monsters that will wreak havoc on this land"

"What will you give in return?"

"We brought the elven women who were very beautiful and delicious meat to be our offerings"

"Hahaha well I as the king of the holy animals will help you humans, thank you".

The sound of the knee impact sounded very loud due to the humans who prostrated worshiping holy animals that had absolute aura and strength.

Forms of the three new Cata subordinates:

Dion had the form of a grandfather-like grandfather with the Demon Duke race, he had a face that was thin with white hair and a slightly hunched body, she always wears white clothes and a smile always adorns her face with her eyes closed.

Eriot has a very large body and his race is the Beastman, he has a lion-like form with a lot of muscles in his body and the hair on his body has three golden colors almost all over his body, black at the edge of his crown and white on his chest and he had bright blue eyes like the sky.

Corto has a very mysterious aura and I'm also curious where Isabella got this guy from, he had the Phantom race his physical form was not much inexplicable because he always covered his body with a black cloth even his face alone was invisible but he had a body that was not large.
