Chapter 60 - 61 – New members.
"Well, honestly, I wasn't really expecting you two to join us really. I was thinking that we had around 40% or even less chance of convincing you to join us." – said ClownFrog.
"But honestly, I'm quite glad that you decided to join us."
"Glad to have you two."
"No problem, man." – said Rampage.
"Y-yea! I will do my best doing evil stuff!" – said Blueberry.
"Well, I'm glad that we have now a proper tank and even got ourselves a production class user joining us." – said GreyHunt.
"I'm more gladly that there are now more female members in the guild, since before there was only 3 men and only me as the only female." – said Shri.
"Now there are 3 females and 3 males. Perfectly balanced."
"Oh, sorry about asking you this straight away Blueberry, but could you please tell us your class? We will obviously tell you about ours classes since we already told everything Rampage about them." – said ClownFrog.
"No problem." – replied Blueberry.

"Hm? Wait, you are also a gun user?" – asked GreyHunt.
"I-is that a problem?" – asked Blueberry.
"N-no. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that. I'm a gun user myself, I specializes in pistole type guns." – said GreyHunt
"Oh, I have two classes I got from leveling my gun user. I picked cannon user and rifle user." – replied Blueberry.
"?"
"Wait, cannons like explosive and stuff?"
"Yea. I even made myself a grenade launcher."
"…What?" – said GreyHunt.
"Here."
Blueberry took out a big gun with a giant barrel.
"Huh. It kind of look like the hand mortar." – said GreyHunt.
"Hand mortar? What the heck is that?" – asked Shri.
"Pretty much an ancestor of the grenade launchers you could say."
"Huh. So how does it work?" – asked curios GreyHunt.
"Well, it's kind of does work like the hand mortar honestly, I did took inspiration from it when I was making this thing." – said Blueberry."
"Hm… Do you see the trees over there? Can you shoot at them with it? I will obviously pay back for the materials cost and all, so don't worry." – said GreyHunt.
"Oh, okay."
Everybody moved away from Blueberry while she was getting ready to fire her gun.
The female lizardman aimed with her gun at the trees before then pulling the trigger, making the firearm fire the ball like object at the trees.
The object flew quite fast at the trees before then making the contact with them and as soon as the object made a contact, a giant explosion occurred that completely destroyed all 3 trees and even made them fall down.
"…What." – said ClownFrog, Shir, Oron and GreyHunt.
"Em… Blueberry. What was that?" – asked Oron.
"?"
"W-was it that bad?!" – asked Blueberry.
"NO! It was good! VERY GOOD!"
"However, none of us expected that kind of fire power. You completely torn down those 3 giant trees like nothing." – said Oron.
"O-oh. Well, I made these bomb shells using alchemy. It did took a lot of trails and errors and even took me a whole week, but I manage to make theses. This bombs has a cords that need to be lit up before putting into the grenade launcher."
"This thing does has a lot of fire power as you just saw, but there are two problems. The first are the materials that I need to make single bomb shell as well as the cost of the gunpowder. So firing this thing once cost some money."
"There is also the fact it takes quiet bit of time to reload this thing, so I cannot fire it at rapid rate, even if my agility was quiet high."
"You say that, but…. Wow. Holy shit. I was never expecting for it to do so much damage." – said ClownFrog.
(Even though she may seem cute and innocent, she is definitely far more dangerous than Rampage.) – though ClownFrog, Oron, Shri and GreyHunt.
"But I want, if the materials cost bit much for a single round as well as it takes long time to reload, how often you use it in combat as well as how many times?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Hm… It depends. If the enemy is weak, then I don't use it at all and I cannot use in too tight spaces or areas since I could have hit Rampage or myself by the accident."
"When I do actively use it in battle, it depends on the length of the fight. Most of the times I can use it 1 or 2 times or if the battle is really long then I should be able to fire 3."
"I see. Well, even if could only fire it once, it's still extremely good." – said GreyHunt
"Anyway, you also said that you use rifles?"
"Yes. I have both short range shotgun and semi-automatic rifle that I use for range combat. I also have an hand gun that can fire up to 3 times."
"Oh, I see. So, you have different type of arsenals." – said GreyHunt.
"Huh. Rampage told us that you like crafting more than fighting, so I was never expecting you to have that kind of arsenal."
"Y-yea. I like to have different weapons for different occasions if I'm going to fight."
"Well, considering how well made your grenade launcher is and how powerful it is as well, I don't think there is any need any need to check any of your other weapons."
(Honestly, I got to give it to her, she is seem very talented if she is able to make something like "THAT".) – though GreyHunt.
(Rampage even said that her weapons and armor were made by her. Both the armor and weapons helped a lot in the fight against the Forgotten Bride.)
(Surprisingly, we manage to recruit somebody very talented and the boss seem to realize that as well.) – though GreyHunt.
"Hm? Wait. We have a 3 long range, 1 mid-range, 1 close range fighters and also a necromancer that can work in different positions with his undeads. Isn't this kind of unbalanced? Don't we need another people close range fighter or something?" – said Rampage.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I will go hybrid and will now fight more often on the close and mid-range." – said GreyHunt.
"?"
"Em… Why?" – asked Rampage.
"Well, two reason. Originally, I only used sword as the means of fighting at the close range, but then I realized there are several problems with using a guns, like the reload time and all. This obviously gives the enemy opening and all and there is also another serios problem if enemy gets too close to me.
They will obviously not me reload so using the gun at close range will be quiet dangerous for me, so it's just way better option for me to switch my weapon to a sword."
"So I've been thinking that I should start developing now some close range fighting class like a sword user and learn how to fight properly with it. I already learned [Sword User] class and even learned few skills."
"I wasn't using sword at all, because of our situation before where we needed to level up as fast as possible and even when we were fighting against that Forgotten Bride. It also works well with my two classes, bandit and bandit lord."
"Hm… Then I think its good? When we fought that time, you were very good with the sword, so I don't see you becoming a swordman while also being a gunman a bad thing." – said ClownFrog.
"So anyway, now GreyHunt isn't a long range fighter anymore but a hybrid that can take a different positions."
"Oh, well that is quite good then." – said Rampage.
"By the way, what "EVIL PLAN" we will do?"
"O-oh, I've been curios about this as well. Does the guild has any goal right now or something?" – asked curios Blueberry.
"Oh, we do. We want to destroy this kingdom." – replied ClownFrog.
"…"
"What?" – said both Rampage and Blueberry.
[One long explanation later.]
"I see. So, we need to get to the dessert and get to the hidden resting place of the ancient queen and revive her?" – said Blueberry.
"Yes. But the problem is that we cannot rush it. We need to level up as much as possible while also getting stronger. The dessert is one of the most dangerous places in this kingdom and we will obviously end up sooner or later fighting the soldiers of this kingdom. If we are too weak, then we will get fucked in more than one way." – said Oron.
"Yea. As of right now, we are more focus on getting stronger than getting to the dessert. So, we are currently slowly traveling towards it. We want to level up few more times, maybe 10 or 20 times before getting to the dessert. Well, the desert is quiet far away from the capital city, so even if we were to rush it, we still would end up taking many days to get there." – said GreyHunt.
"But I got to say, I wasn't expecting for the mess that Emerald city turned into was your doing." – said Blueberry.
"Well, it was worth it. We got a nice loot and not only that but we also got a support of the minotaurs if the war would break out. On top of it all we even managed to screw up one of the cities that were one of the biggest sources of the income to the kingdom, it will take some time for them to recover." – said ClownFrog.
"Em… Actually, about that. Apparently, the king send an army to take control of the situation. Both of the noble and merchant factions were gotten rid of and the city is somewhat recovering." – said Blueberry.
"!"
"Wait, I heard that guy is bit crazy and all, but sending an army? Is he mad?!" – said Shri.
(That place had a lot of merchants and nobles, each one having their own connection and strength, and yet that king dispatched an army to deal with the whole situation?) – though ClownFrog.
(Shit. It may sound good since it will make people lost some faith in him, but it will allow this kingdom to recover bit sooner than expected. This isn't good.)
"Tch. That fucker."
"Well, its not like we can do anything. If we return and try to fuck over the place again, then there is a high chance somebody will find out about us."- said ClownFrog.
"Anyway, it's the best of our interesting if we leave the capital city ASAP and begin traveling once again towards the desert."
(Honestly, the plan was to mess up some settlements and city along the way, but by the look of things that king won't be having none of that. If we want to make some mess, we need to get away from the capital city as fast as possible.)
"Anyway, as soon as we restock our supplies and other stuff, we are immediately heading out, got it?" – said ClownFrog.
