Chapter 217 - 218 – ClownFrog offer.
After welcoming the Litle Bastards guild to our base, I took them to the guest room.
"Sorry for the mess, but after those fanatics were dealt with, we are dealing with some…. Plans for the future."
"No problem." – said Ampi while sitting on the sofa.
"By the way, what did you wanted us? Not only that, but you wanted to bring all the members of my guild with me?"
"…."
"Well, I have an offer." – said ClownFrog.
"I want to all of you to join the Purple Hyena guild."
"?!"
The members of the Litle Bastards guild stare confused and shocked at the ClownFrog.
"I'm not forcing you or anything. This an offer I wanted to tell all of your members of your guild and not keep it a secret just between me and Ampi." – said ClownFrog.
"You are free to decline, but if you want, you can ask questions if you are interested."
"…."
The members of the Litle Bastards guild were still confused and didn't know how to react.
They began whispering and talking to each other, discussing different things.
But, the first one to ask the question was Tail by raising his hand.
"Go ahead." – said ClownFrog.
"Why us?" – asked Tail.
"I don't mean to offend you or anything, but why are you inviting us?"
"Is it because we know each other and worked together?"
"Hm… Kind of." – replied ClownFrog.
"The main point being that you didn't betrayed us and can be trusted. You even fallowed our orders when we were doing the raid as well as the rescue. So, you are trust worthy people."
"So, I will tell you something interesting?"
"Do you remember how people called us villains for helping in the destruction of the Adernul kingdom?"
"…."
"Yes?" – said confused Tail.
"Welp. They were never wrong."
"In fact, our goal was to destroy that kingdom for two things. For rewards and for the people to know about us."
"?" – members of the Litle Bastards guild stared confused.
"Well, it seems you still don't get it."
"Then I will say it straight."
"The Purple Hyena guild is an guild of bastards and criminals."
"We are too faced and don't mind being good or evil in order to gain power."
"But in the end, we are "Villains" and that is our guild goal."
"Pretty much, we have enough of being good guys for various reasons and decided to screw it and become villains instead."
"So pretty much this: I have an question for you."
"Do you want to fuck it all and just become the villains?"
"…."
"Em…. I don't get it." – said Ampi.
"I was serious with every word I just said."
"…."
"Oh…..." – said Ampi after realizing that ClownFrog wasn't really kidding and making some speech and was instead explaining things.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait."
"You want US, to join you and become an asshole villains?"
"Pretty much."
"I won't force you or anything, our guild need some "Trust", even among us bad guys."
"You have some trust already, but as for joining our guild? I need you to join us willingly and not be forced to in order to see I can trust you and you can trust me."
"…."
"Okay. I get the matter of trust, but there one thing I don't get." – said Ampi, while showing her hand to the Tail, not letting him ask the question.
"You all, the 6 original members- "
"Well, me, GreyHunt, Shri and Oron were original members when the guild was formed. Blueberry and Rampage joined later on."
"Wait, really?" – said surprised Ampi.
"Huh…."
"A-anyway!"
"You all, the 6 core members of the Purple Hyena guild as well as these new guys are quite strong. So, I don't get at all why you would recruit nobodies like us?"
"…"
"Well, the answer is pretty simple."
"Numbers."
"We lack in players within our guilds."
"We have strong guys and I can even take on armies and all, but we still need players."
"You may not noticed it, but we are not the only guild that are quite strong in the game."
"Red Lions. Scarlet Gryphons. Green Locust. Librarians. And so on."
"They all have some strong members, but they have also numbers."
"We didn't recruit members left and right before since we needed to have an solid foundation if we want to turn into an big guild, but now that we have some foundation of 10 members as well as made them stronger a bit."
"But now we need members."
"And here comes you."
"Your guild worked with us in past and were both loyal and trustworthy and because of that I'm offering you the merge."
"The benefits?"
"Well, you will grow stronger if you join us and other stuff, but you will have to become bad guys like us as the results."
"But as I said before, I won't force you and I won't bother you again if you decline. I want your trust everything so I leave the choice to you alone. I won't bribe you or anything in order to cloud your judgment."
"…."
The members of the Litle Bastards guild looked at each other extremely confused.
"…."
"I-I'm sorry, but we need time. This is quite big." – said Ampi.
"No problem. Take all the time you need." – replied ClownFrog.
Few moments later, the members of the Litle Bastards guild left the Purple Hyena base.
"…."
"You can stop hiding." – said ClownFrog.
"?!"
"How the hell you knew I was there?!" – asked Howl after opening the door and entering the room together with Swim.
"Is it important?" – replied ClownFrog.
"By the way, why are you here?"
"Well, we were walking around the city and then we saw the Litle Bastards walking around, we wanted to talk with them but then we saw them entering our base, so we entered it as well and heard something about them joining us?" – said Swim.
"Yeb. I gave them an offer to have their guild be absorbed by ours."
"!?"
"Wait, isn't this a bit too sudden?!" – asked Howl.
"Nope."
"If anything, we need to increase our numbers. There is a limit of what group of small elite players can do."
"And because of that, we need numbers."
"We are already making you stronger and you guys got some items and class books from the reward list as well as from the raid quest."
"Meaning we can now start recruiting weaker players into our ranks."
"These guys are trust worthy, but we cannot force them to join us against their will."
"We need their trust, just as we needed your trust in past."
"…"
"Do you think they will accept the offer?" – asked Swim.
"Don't know."
"It would be perfect if they did, but there is also good chance that they will refuse."
"And unlike you when you were just a group of 4, they are group of 20, meaning its not an easy decision."
"It will take time for them to decide to join us or decline our offer."
"…"
"Anyway, I will inform the others about it as well and as for you, just enjoy yourself for the rest of the day."
"We are having an break for now after that non stop running around for days, but soon we will have to join the demonic kingdom side once again and fight the empire."
Right now, we were relaxing and taking it easy after that whole "Paimon Fanatics" situation and trying to recover as much as possible.
Some of the members were training while some were taking a break like Shri and Rampage going to the different stores.
Swim and Howl were logging bit less since they were going on the date and all, well they are couples and all.
As for me and Blueberry? We locked ourselves in workshops.
Blueberry was researching and improving her golems while also experimenting with puppets and toy monsters she made.
I was helping her out, since I wanted to take a look how the manufactured monsters works and all, since my [Abomination Necromancer] and [Chimera Necromancer] are about creating monsters using corpse.
By the way, for somebody who is wondering.
The [Abomination Necromancer] is epic rarity class I got from before and its [Shared] type class, meaning that it can grow faster depending on your other classes. I already got it at max rank and level.
That necromancer is about stitching bodies together, creating an abomination made out of multiple corpse.
As for the [Chimera Necromancer] who is unique rarity class, its bit similar but also very different.
I don't stich bodies together and instead put parts together, creating a chimera made out of the body parts.
And oh boy, the chimeras are quite strong.
Even if I use 2 same corpse to create an undead chimera, it will be still stronger than abomination that used 2 exactly same corpse.
Not only that, but the chimera can use its corpse powers.
Pretty much, the chimeras are over powered.
However, the class itself is [Non Shared] type, meaning I cannot level it up instantly like the [Shared] class.
Not only that, I cannot control a lot of chimeras. Right now, I can only make a lesser undead chimera: 1.
However, this class is linked with the [Abomination Necromancer]. Well, no wonder considering that you needed to have an [Abomination Necromancer] to learn this class.
But anyway, this class boost the number of the zombies I can have as well as the numbers of the lesser undead abominations I can have.
So pretty much, this class is quite interesting to say the least.
Anyway.
After some time passed, we had finally recovered and it was finally a time to face off against the empire.
