Chapter 250 - 251 – Preparation completed.
Days went by and our construction of the base continues.
Honestly, we did declared the war on the empire, made a huge deal out of it alongside our big appearance with that whole army as well as the fact that the players just destroyed entire city.
And in the end, we just disappeared.
Well, we do need our base of operation first before we even try to fight the empire for real and the reason why we declared the war on the empire this early one was for two things.
The first was to shake them up a bit and the second was to make people aware of us.
It wouldn't take people long to realize that we are Purple Hyena and that we are the enemies, so instead of waiting to get revealed, we just did that ourselves to show off.
Not only that, but we are quiet popular group of players in the game and we had few huge appearances in mayor events to the point it made us popular.
So, our sudden appearance and the declaration of the war as well as show off of our power did made some impact on players and NPCs.
And honestly speaking, this silence is also helping us.
People will get bit paranoid, thinking that we maybe be waiting to do something big or something, or may thing that it was just an empty threats' and ignore us. Either way, it would help us as well.
We haven't also posted anything on any of our social accounts regarding our declaration of the war, just to mess with people until our real attack starts.
Anyway, the base construction was going smoothly.
However, the current state of the slaves was slowing down a bit.
They were getting worn down since this place wasn't their homes as well as the fact that they had to work each day.
They were both exhausted mentally and physically.
So…. I just killed them all.
Yea, I know, I know, killing them is bad and all since we need more hands to make things, but considering our current circumstances, these guys were now getting in the way of making stuff and taking care of them while they are that much worn out was straight up not worth it.
We could attack another settlement for new slaves, but attacking now is a bad idea for many good reasons.
So, I killed the slaves and turned them into undeads.
Well, I did needed to get rid of some monsters undeads skeletons or zombies, but it was worth it, considering how many of those monsters weren't best suited for making base.
Still, it was all worth it.
We digged further into the ground as well as improved our building both above and below the ground.
We had a lot of materials to make our base out of, but most noticeable are the rocks and those giant thick trees.
We had also stollen a lot of materials from the city as well as stole materials that were used to make some buildings like Blueberry instructed.
Using slaves and the carriages made it way easier for us to take as many stuff as possible in a single go.
People also took turn defending the base and construction while other people went around and were hunting monsters for materials, resources and to just level up.
One of the best materials was the metal gorillas shells.
Blueberry and the triplets enjoyed making golems made out of those metal gorillas shells.
These shells were not only strong but also light.
This in turn turned out to be the perfect material for the armor making AND for golem making.
Several golems that had been made using the metal gorillas shells were extremely useful, both in combat and in base construction.
They had also made several other golems that were good for other stuff AND some puppets that were good construction.
I got to say, Blueberry and the triplets monsters were pretty good.
However, this wasn't the end of the good news.
This place is filled with a lot of good stuff.
Both above ground and below. There is shit tons of herbs that are perfect for potion crafting and not only the above ground but also the underground. Different type of high rarity metals as well as gems and other type of riches we could find in there!
The soil here is also perfect for many different things. Farming especially. We had made underground farm for experiment but the results were way better than we though.
Empire definitely have no idea about the riches of this place; besides the riches you could get from the countless different monsters living in this place.
But if they would find out the hidden riches of this place, oh boy. The empire wouldn't stood idly and I would expect many greedy factions making their move to send entire armies of soldiers here.
One more important thing, we don't know ALL the riches this place has. Meaning this place maybe way more riches than we expected.
If this place is that kind of treasure, what about two other great danger zones? Do they also hold many different riches inside?
If the empire would take control any of the great danger zones, then their power would rise like hell!
Should we aim to take over those places later on?
….
Nope.
We don't have enough members in our guild nor we have big enough armies to push back empire yet.
We would need big armies as well as many different guild members if we would like control the 3 different great danger zones.
We would also need a lot of soldiers that as well as people or monsters that would command them, like O'a or Hera.
O'a had became much stronger after becoming the death knight.
And as for Hera, she ranked up.
Hera is [High-Greater] demon right now. However, she said her selves that she may became soon [Greater] demon.
Apparently, demon rank can represented by many different things.
Strength.
Standing.
Lineage.
Hera was from bit higher ranking family, but not really nobility.
However, she said that she became high demon way faster than her father or mother did and now she outranked them.
She said with her research she will soon help her grow even stronger.
Hera enjoy doing research and honestly, she has a huge hoppy of reading books, so honestly, she kind of enjoys the current situation and the fact that we will build the storage where we will store a lot of things, books included.
As for the other demons?
A lot of demons ranked up that were originally part of my squad and I had also invested a lot of points into the demonic power, allowing me to summon even more demons.
Right now, I have a small army of the demons at my disposal and the other guys who were demons in our group had also learned the [Demon Summoner] class in order to further boost our army size.
The tamers and the necromancers beside me and Shri had also grown their own armies.
As for the factories and the other constructions related to the monster production, we don't have them yet unfortunately, meaning no mass produced golems type monsters or monsters like corpless.
Still, since we have a lot of monster related classes, we did in fact had an army of monsters that we could both use for working and for fighting.
Not only that, but we had declared the territory as our guild territory.
Guild territory?
The guild territory is something like the territory that belongs to your guild.
You need to declare the territory take over and then defend the territory for specific amount of time, without losing control over the territory.
Its bit complicated and it can work many different ways.
For example, you can either take the territory or have it be given to you by the ruler of the territory like how the queen of Umil kingdom wanted to give us our own territories in the past.
Having your own territory have many different benefits, but I won't dive into them yet.
But one of the thing I need to mention is that all the things that are marked as our territory or our buildings will be the part of the Purple Hyena guild.
Guild buildings?
Yeb.
Besides territories there are guild buildings.
The guild buildings are way easier to get or make, for example how we bought the ownership of the building in the demonic kingdom capital city and turned it into our base.
I won't go into many different details regarding the base, but one of the most important thing that I need to mention is that the base can serv as our respawn point.
Meaning if anybody of us die and the base is properly made, the said base can be used as the spawn point location.
This is pretty huge considering the fact that we will definitely die few times here and there, so having a spawn point we can use will give us huge advantage.
So, yea.
The matter of the base is extremely important to us to the point that we cannot really got to the war against the empire without it. Not only as the respawn point and as our base of operation, but also the facility that will help us in the war as well as strengthen our forces.
But fortunately, the base construction was going well.
The base will be soon finished in the useable state where we can finally start going on the attack again.
And then the people will realize, that the declaration of war was real since we will straight up shove the proof down everybody throat!
So, yea.
The start of the real war will soon start!
More days went by and first phase of our base making has been finished.
And so, we had a meeting.
"Laides and gentleness." – said ClownFrog.
"It took us a lot of time, but our base is currently functional and had become a real base we were aiming for!"
"Congratulation you all!"
The members of the Purple Hyena guild began cheering and screaming in excitement until ClownFrog spread his wings to make people shut up for the moment.
"The current state of the base isn't the thing we were aiming for, BUT! We can now properly expand it as well as start doing the proper work we wanted to do with it."
"However, this isn't the most important part."
"We now have a base."
"A real base!"
"We have managed to create a perfectly hidden base that nobody had found out yet! Be it either the empire or the players!"
"But, our base isn't fully completed yet…... So, let's help ourselves!"
"Sharing is carrying, right?!"
"Then let's show us selves to the empire again and rob them from their stuff."
"But this time, we won't just go straight into hiding again after the attack!"
"This time, lets start our terror for real you son of a bitches!"
The members of the guild began cheering, being extremely excited for the action after a long time of hiding and not doing anything related to their war.
"KILL!"
"PLUNDER!"
"DESTORY!"
"LET THEM FUKING KNOW THAT THE PURPLE HYENA WILL BE THE ONES WHO SHALL DESTROY THE OIN EMPIRE!" – shouted ClownFrog.
"Show them despair!"
"Show them terror!"
"Let them fuking knew that we are the villains here."
"And let them show that good guys don't always win."
