"Looking at your expression, if I guess correctly, you should have failed."
Old White Ape looked at Young White Ape who was standing in front of him, lowering his head slightly, not even daring to look at himself, and said with a slight frown.
"I'm sorry."
"You are disappointed."
Young White Ape looks very decadent and has a deep voice.
Old White Ape sighed, sat on the throne, and patted Young White Ape lightly on the shoulder. "Child, as long as it does not affect your life, a failure is not a big deal."
"Even if we lose everything in our hands, as long as we are still alive, there will always be a chance."
"Besides, this action is far from having such serious consequences."
"But if you are overwhelmed by this, that would be a real nightmare. So, take a minute to calm down and tell me what happened."
Old White Ape didn't seem disappointed at all, but gently enlightened his nephew.
Hearing Old White Ape's words, Young White Ape was slightly startled, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.
Its heartbeat gradually slowed down, trying to throw those negative emotions out of its mind.
Time passes.
Exactly one minute later, Young White Ape had opened his eyes again and his eyes were calm again.
"When I set off, I made my first mistake."
"I should have been ahead of the Demon Clan's army, arrived at Ten Thousand Demon Forest as quickly as possible, notified Red Fox, and cooperated with me to intercept Army-Breaker."
"But because my reaction was slow, I didn't think of this problem until Scout of Army-Breaker discovered us, sent a signal, and notified Army-Breaker."
"And this also gives them a minute to escape."
Young White Ape recalled the situation at that time and analyzed it.
Old White Ape Although I don't know the detailed process, I just listened to it for a while and analyzed it in general.
It shook its head slightly. "But even so, Army-Breaker still can't escape our encirclement. At best, this mistake will cause us to kill more poor children, so it is not important."
"Yes."
"But the second problem is that there is a misunderstanding in my thinking."
Young White Ape is like a reporting assignment, telling everything that happened in Ten Thousand Demon Forest in detail.
Old White Ape always listened carefully without any retort or interruption.
It wasn't until it finally had no choice but to lead the remaining tribes to escape that Old White Ape leaned on Throne again.
"Although you made several mistakes while doing the whole thing, they are all understandable."
"You've done the best you can at the moment."
"Even the processing in some places has exceeded your limit."
"So this failure is not your fault, kid."
"What you have to do is learn from the experience and lessons of this failure, and make yourself stronger until you stand at the top, so that other people's thinking will never reach your height."
"No one is born smart."
Old White Ape comforted his nephew with a smile on his face.
But even so, there was still a hint of loss in Young White Ape's eyes.
This was the first real battle between him and the big shot Human Race on behalf of his uncle, but the final result was a complete defeat.
The power several times that of Human Race only resulted in his own disastrous defeat.
Especially because his failure may affect his uncle's plan, this is what makes him most unacceptable.
"Well..."
"Go down and rest."
"I think you need a quiet space to empty your mind."
Old White Ape said softly.
Young White Ape nodded silently, bowed deeply to his uncle respectfully, and turned to leave.
When it left, the smile on Old White Ape's face gradually dissipated and returned to normal.
"Sure enough, when you leave something in someone else's hands, you have to prepare for the inevitable failure."
"Although I am still a little angry, this is my own choice."
"It really tried its best... well... it tried its best..."
Old White Ape murmured to himself, as if he was enlightening himself.
After a while, it leaned on the backrest of Throne and looked at the sky, a little lost in thought, with a thoughtful look in its eyes.
About half an hour later.
Red Fox appeared quietly beside Old White Ape.
"Demon Lord-sama."
Red Fox spoke softly.
Old White Ape was startled for a moment, then came to his senses. "You're here..."
"Hmm."
Red Fox nodded again.
"You did a good job this time."
"At least at the last moment, you saved Ten Thousand Demon Forest and prevented my losses from expanding."
Old White Ape looked a little pleased.
But there was no joy on Red Fox's face, and there was even a flash of fear deep in his eyes.
