[VRMMO] Dead One

[At the throne room located in the Adernul kingdom royal castle.]

"And that is the situation."

"Somehow our suicidal run that was meant to end with our death somehow was more effective than we planned and we killed the king." – said ClownFrog.

"We also managed to take over the royal capital after the minotaurs has joined us in wrecking this place."

ClownFrog was using a mirror made out of a bones, an artefact made by the queen for long range communication.

"…"

"Are you for real?" – asked the queen.

"Yeb."

"I even have the fat bastard head. Look." – said ClownFrog while showing the king head and his face of despair.

"Oh. You really killed him???"

"Yeb…."

"Anyway, with the king currently death, one of my guild member named Rampage suggested that we use the moment to destroy the enemy and finally win the war."

"The enemy forces are temporarily weaken from losing the king and the current situation is extremely chaotic and confusing from them."

"Honestly, I agree with her plan."

"It will leave the desert vurnable, but we can end this war right now and if we would fail, we would still land lethal blow to the enemy, meaning we would still win the war in the end."

"…"

"Hm…. I understand your point, but the problem is leaving the desert unguarded for too long." – said the queen.

"Even though we did weaken the enemies and spread chaos alongside confusion, it will still take few days to completely take over the country."

"Your plan is good, but if the enemy made a desperate attack on the dessert while I'm not there, we may end up suffering a lot of damage, even if we were to win the war."

"We also still have to watch out for the neighboring countries."

"Some of my spies noticed some of them gathering forces. I don't know if they are warry of us or they seek to join the war."

"I'm sorry, but I may have no choice but to go back to the dessert and defend my country."

"…"

(Well, it's not like I don't understand.) – though ClownFrog.

(We may have taken a king life and wrecked the royal capital, but there are still some problems.)

(Most of the players that joined the war belong to the Adernul faction and kingdom main army is still standing.)

(Not only that, the debuff only lasts 24 hours and the enemy won't stay confused for the rest of the war.)

(Well, the only good thing is that the minotaurs manage to completely destroy Emerald city, since nobody was there to stop them and they then joined us here.)

(With the help of the minotaurs we managed to conquer the entire royal capital.)

(We even got a title called [Capital Conqueror] for conquering capital type city settlement and [Capital Taker] for being first group of players to take over capital city type settlement.)

(But… There is a massive problem.)

(The crown prince, he is missing.)

(Everybody looked everywhere for him and even minotaurs are looking around, but nothing came up.)

(I doubt he got killed by some of my random undeads.)

(He must have escaped.)

(That is bad.)

(If he somehow reemerge and untie the confused forces, the war will end up continuing and that is something we DON'T WANT.)

(If that guy become the new head of the Adernul faction, then it the war will be extremely annoying for us.)

(We may even lose the war.)

(Not only that, but there is another problem.)

(As the queen said, the other countries are wary of us and may be planning to either strengthen their forces to defend themselves or help out Adernul kingdom.)

(We need to end this war now and cannot let it drag on for any longer.)

(But how?!)

(Having the queen and her personal army assist us would be the best option, but the problem is with leaving the desert unguarded.)

(We win the war, but we end up suffering too much damage that would leave an opening for the neighboring counties to use.)

(Fuck me…. As soon as things started looking easy, they now would suddenly start looking extremely hard.)

"…"

[Demonic Necromancer] [Epic]

[High Dark Priest] [Rare]

(Thanks to this entire day of rampaging, I managed to level up few of my classes and even unlock two new classes.)

(High dark priest is just upgraded version of dark priest.)

(As for the demonic necromancer, this class is a class that both uses and increases necro mastery and demonic power.)

(It's pretty useful for me.)

(But so what?)

(All of us managed to get stronger.)

(But there is a limit what we can do.)

(We maybe stupidly overpower players, but even if we were try and take on the main force by ourselves we would definitely die a pointless death.)

(So it's not like just us 6 can just end this war just by ourselves.)

(Think you bloody idiot, think.)

(Is there any way we can somehow end this war quickly?)

(We stole the capital city from enemy, but if they send some bigger army we would have no chance of defending it and they would take it back.)

(Right now I have an army of undeads, some demons, small army of minotaurs and my guild members.)

(Can I somehow use them?)

Attack the main force from behind?

Nope.

We will get fucked and the minotaurs stay dead.

Keep the capital city under our control?

Nope.

If they send army, then we stand no chance.

Attack some important locations?

Nope.

They are probably wary of us now and they will realize that elites alone won't do. They will need numbers.

In short, we would fail.

Go around and spread chaos like before.

….

Meh.

It will do some damage, but they know our tactic. Bit risky and we may not be able to do as much damage as we did before.

Join up with the main forces and try to win?

Nope.

It would take too long and maybe it would give enemy too much time to prepare and all.

(Fuck me….)

(We are winning the war right now, but at long run the one who will win at this rate will be Adernul faction.)

(What the hell can we do?)

(Should we risk it and use the queen?)

(No. I don't think she would even listen to my proposal.)

(…)

(Should we try and contact the demon country and ask them for support?)

(They were once…. Nah. It wouldn't work.)

(The demon lord worked with Adernul kingdom to stop the mad demon lord army and they even sighted the peace threat afterwords.)

(Why would they….)

(…)

(Wait a second.)

(THAT VAMPIRE!)

(I still don't know what the hell his deal was, but he was definitely a spy gathering the info.)

(Is he by any chance is working for the demonic kingdom?)

(He was working in secret and even transformed Rampage into vampire to bribe her not to speak.)

(…)

"My queen, I think I maybe have something that may help us in the war, but I have to confirm it."

"I'm sorry my queen but I need to go."

[Voice chat has been opened.]

"GreyHunt! Rampage! Get your asses to the throne room right fuking now!"

[Sometime later.]

"What is it? I was scavenging with Blueberry the royal vault for some useful stuff just now." – said Rampage.

"We will be taking everything anyway, so you can look through it later."

"But anyway, I have a job for you two."

"Do you remember that vampire guy we meet? The guy that turned Rampage into vampire?"

"?"

"Oh. That guy." – said Rampage.

"Why are you mentioning this guy now?" – asked GreyHunt.

"I will cut straight to the chase then."

"I want you to find him and ask him if he works for the demonic kingdom."

"If he is or is working for somebody powerful like something like vampire king, I want you to ask talk with him about poetical alliance or bring him to me so I can let him speak with the queen through artifact that I have."

"?"

"Alliance?" – asked Rampage.

"Yea."

"Right now we are winning the war, but at this rate we will be the ones who will lose."

"We maybe overpowered bastards, but there is limit what we can do."

"So you want to make alliance with the demonic kingdom in order to win this war?" – asked GreyHunt.

"Yea."

"What if he refuses to talk?" – asked GreyHunt.

"…"

"Well, then there is nothing we can do."

"We don't want to make enemies from the demonic kingdom, so we cannot beat him up and force him against his will to meet me and queen."

"Hm… Okay."

"But question. Why me and her?"

"Well, I cannot leave since I need to command my undeads and replenish any that got killed."

"Oron and Blueberry can be put on the defense and attack from afar and Shri has her monsters and all."

"Besides, Rampage is acquiescence with that guy and you are smart guy that know how to talk, so sending you two isn't that bad idea."

"However you got to hurry. We don't know for how long we can defend this place and all."

"Find the guy, ask him questions. If he is willing to talk, ask him to meet me so he can talk with the queen."

"I don't know if he has any connection or anything, but we need to try."

"Right now our situation is desperate and we need to explore all possibilities we can."
