Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2075: Incentives

"It's been a while since I've enjoyed the scent of fresh air." I remarked following a deep inhalation.

This held true because I'd remained confined within the workshop for more than a week.

Satisfaction with the production volume came only after that week, allowing me to release Queenie at last.

Part of this decision stemmed from recognizing Queenie's endurance limit. Pushing her beyond would surely lead to a complete mental collapse.

Given her temperament, enduring such prolonged labor proved impossible for her.

Without adequate rest, she'd shatter entirely.

Thus, I chose this moment to convene with the racial alliance.

They'd waited quite a while, as I'd informed them via the Holy Empire of my intent to meet during my initial encounter with Solista.

Preparations on my end had delayed things, leading to their patient anticipation—or so it appeared. Reports I received painted a different picture.

Throughout this period, manifestations of corruption energy hadn't ceased.

These energies emerged more frequently across various locations, signaling an imminent full-scale assault by the forces of Destruction.

Naturally, anxiety gripped everyone, particularly the smaller nations lacking robust defenses compared to their larger counterparts.

This tension surfaced immediately in the meeting with the opening query...

"Are the weapons ready?"

No circumlocution here—they posed the question outright, eager for updates on the promised armaments.

Fortunately, the past week's efforts had focused on readying them.

Yet, before revealing that, another crucial revelation awaited.

"I've uncovered why the forces of Destruction are becoming active."

My words plunged the room into utter silence, where even a pin dropping would echo.

Such a reaction was predictable from this assembly, tormented by this mystery for so long. Grasping the cause was key to devising countermeasures.

Hence, they all hung on my forthcoming explanation.

"It's quite a tale, so I need to lay out some background first." I explained with a sigh, drawing in a steadying breath to begin.

I recounted the divine trial imposed upon me, omitting certain details I preferred to keep private.

Upon finishing, I continued, "I possess a map indicating the surviving elementals requiring our aid. Rescuing them all ought to compel the forces of Destruction to retreat and conceal themselves once more."

Delegates from major powers accepted this without hesitation, their resolutions firm.

Those from minor nations grappled more with the choice.

After all, the risks weighed heavily on them.

I'd anticipated such reluctance, hence my intense focus on weapon mass-production lately.

These served as motivators.

"To tackle this crisis, I've readied armaments tailored against the forces of Destruction. Given the urgency, these will prioritize allies in resolving this threat."

Hearing this, the smaller nations' representatives exchanged glances.

Their expressions betrayed their shared calculations.

A single desire united them, and I dangled it within reach.

This positioned them as rivals vying for the largest share.

To heighten the stakes, I added, "Helpers may retain the weapons post-resolution."

This tipped the balance, unleashing their pent-up eagerness. Suddenly, commitments to dispatch aid poured in, viewing participation as the path to securing the arms.

In truth, weapons would distribute eventually to combat the forces of Destruction.

However, scarcity dictated prioritization.

Only through contribution could they advance in line.

Eagerly, they pledged their support.

Volunteers shifted from scarce to overwhelming.

Discussions then centered on allocating quotas per nation for deployment to map-designated sites. There, they'd stand vigil against corruption energy until I could assist the elementals.

Constraints applied, of course.

Balancing contributions across countries while respecting our finite weapon stockpile—we couldn't exceed availability.

Thus, a heated rivalry ensued, each showcasing elite troops.

Superior forces boosted selection chances, naturally.

Evidently, incentives proved highly effective.
