Chapter 252 - 253 – Unlucky guys.
[Current location: Goat town.]
"FUKING DAMMIT!" – said female elf player.
"Calm down. Jeez." – said the player with a great sword on his back.
"FUCK YOU!" – said the female elf while flipping off the great sword player.
"You didn't lost your best item to that fuking ClownFrog!"
"Beside! What the fuck was that?! I wasn't even killed by him but that two sword wielding skeleton guy!"
"This is so humiliating!"
"Hey, you didn't get stomped to death like an ant by that fuking drake, so just deal with it." – said the heavy armored player that got stomped accidently to death by Zod.
"Still, the guild master wasn't happy with this accident as well." – said the great sword user.
"That place was supposal to be made our- "
Before great sword player could finish talking, the heavy armored player covered his mouth.
"You idiot!" – whispered the heavy armored player.
"We cannot talk about that stuff publicly or the first prince."
"You will get us all in more than one trouble if you do."
"Oh fuck off." – said the great sword player after removing heavy armored player hand from his mouth.
"Anyway, what is our mission this time? Are we trying to put our base here?" – asked the great sword player.
"No." – replied female elf.
"This time its simple information- "
Before the elf player could finish talking, a sound of many explosion could be heard in the distanced fallowed up with the appearance of the giant black smoke coming from the walls.
"…."
"Oh… I say fuking no." – said the elf player.
[Meanwhile outside the town.]
"Shit!" – shouted the guard on top of the wall.
"Where the fuck these fuckers came from?!"
Right outside the town there was a massive army of the monsters that was being led by non-other than ClownFrog.
The army of the monsters managed to attack the town by the surprise, resulting in the town not being properly prepared to face off the army of the monsters.
Before long, both the gate and the walls of the town had been completely torn to shreds, allowing the horde of the monsters to enter the city.
"OH, YOU GOT TO BE FUKING KIDDING ME!" – shouted the elf player that just run to the scene and saw the army from before that killed her.
(WHY THE HELL CLOWNFROG IS HERE?!)
(SHIT!)
(I'm not dying like this again!)
(I will-)
Suddenly a giant meteor of flesh and lava fallen on top of the elven player, squashing it before moments later a lava zombies began appearing out of the meteor.
The horde of the monsters had already gotten inside the town and already began attacking and anybody in sight.
Players who were at the scene tried to fight back, but they did not lasted long and to make matters worse, the players realize they had to no chance of winning and instead started to run away alongside the guards who were supposed to protect this place.
Non were spared.
People were getting killed left and right.
Some of the people managed to get away, but most people were unfortunate.
Players were killed while NPCs were captured.
And like that, the town of informations and merchant: Goat was destroyed.
The merchant and the nobles who escaped and the players who were in the town will spread the word about ClownFrog reappearance.
"…"
(Huh…. That was disappointing?) – though ClownFrog while walking around the ruins of the town.
(I though this place would be way better protected or something…. Well, it was honestly, it was way better protected than they it should.)
(There were a lot of guards, mostly personal guards.)
(But they were all bark no bite.)
(All of their equipment were pretty solid, but money can't do everything.)
(They should have just hired somebody skilled instead of relying on the intimidation.)
(Idiots.)
"?"
While walking around, ClownFrog spotted his metal gorillas attacking caravans for some reason.
"…"
ClownFrog ordered his monsters to stop while approaching the caravan.
"Hey."
"If I were you, it would be the best idea to get out."
"Unless you want to get killed."
"…."
(No response, huh?)
(Well, I may as well as see if they are anybody useful or not since new slaves would be useful.)
ClownFrog grabbed the caravan back door and ripped it open before then using his giant eye to look into the caravan.
"?!"
(What the actual fuck?)
What ClownFrog saw inside wasn't some sort of merchant hiding inside the caravan to survive but instead a bunch of young girls that were tied up and were also both gagged and blindfolded.
"…."
(Okay...What the actual fuck is going on?)
(Slaves?)
(But from what I know in the empire the only legal slaves are the war slaves, criminal slaves or debt slaves.)
(But those girls…. They are definitely no criminal, debt or war slaves.)
(They are too young as well!)
"…"
ClownFrog approached the second caravan and ripped open its door and saw the same thing inside, a bunch of young girls who were being held inside.
The third caravan was also same.
"…"
"[Summon: Skeleton Servant: Warrior Type]."
ClownFrog summoned several skeleton servants to his side.
"You lot. Go inside those caravans and free people inside there, but don't hurt them. I want them alive and kicking when you bring them to me."
The skeleton servants headed their master command and began entering the caravans.
One of the girls that was inside the caravan heard her commotion and was scared for some reason.
However, the gag that was on the girl was suddenly removed before then her hands that were tied up were freed.
After that her blindfold was removed and straight up saw a skeleton right in front of her face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
The girl screamed in fear as the skeleton was standing right in front of her.
"Shut up." – said ClownFrog.
"?!"
The girl looked to the exit and saw a giant eye looking at her.
The girl got extremely scared to the point she almost pissed herself after seeing the giant eye observing her.
The girl didn't wanted to get hurt so she ended up shutting herself up while trembling in fear.
The other girls that were inside caravan were freed alongside the second caravan and the third caravan.
Before long, a group of 20 people were standing right in front of the ClownFrog who were now shacking in fear as the giant monster inspecting them.
"…."
(20 girls who are about around 16-19 years old…)
(No males and no adults or children…...)
(Yeb. This isn't normal…. And it maybe bit more fucked up than I think.)
ClownFrog extended his hand to the captured people and moments later a blood began flowing out of the monster arm.
The young girls stared at the monsters while some others were hugging each other and crying.
"Don't worry."
"I'm not trying to kill.
Suddenly, the wounds that were on the young people were starting to close and heal, suddenly calming down the group after realizing the situation.
Before long many of the wounds that the group had was healed.
"Now then." – said ClownFrog while squadding right in front of the group.
"I want the answers."
"Who are you people?"
"You are definitely not some criminal, debt or war slaves."
"However, considering how I found you, I can definitely say that you were used as slaves."
"I want answers, now."
"…."
The girls looked at each other in confusion and fear.
"…."
"For crying out loud."
"If I wanted you dead, you all would have been dead already."
"So please answer me while I'm asking nicely after healing your wounds."
"…."
"W-we!" – one of the girls suddenly spoken up with long purple hair that was still trembling in fear.
"We are villagers."
"T-to be more precise, we were once villagers…. Our village was attacked by bandits and we were sold to some merchants as illegal slaves."
"?"
(Illegal slaves?) – though ClownFrog.
(This is getting interesting.)
"The merchant with the yellow hat at the big belly as well as yellow hat who was named Augst was the merchant who bought us."
"We don't know much, but from what we overheard, he said he will put us on auction where we would be sold for."
"W-we don't know anymore! I swear!"
"They were blindfolding us and having us gagged all the time when we were traveling around, so we don't know anything else!"
"Please! Don't kill us!"
"…."
(Huh… It did got interesting.)
(Based on what she said, I think there is some sort of illegal organization that illegally captures people and sells them as illegal slaves.)
(I wasn't expecting this at all.)
(Maybe they are using the chaos of the succession war to operate?)
(….)
"You all."
"Who saw that merchant who bought you and knows exactly how he looks like and would recognize him."
"!"
"I-I'm!" – said the girl from before.
"Good."
"Then you will come with me."
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you, the same goes for you all."
"You there. Skeleton servants and gorillas."
"Make sure that no harm will come their way."
ClownFrog took the girl with her before then getting to the town square where the captured citizens were located.
"Dammit! You lot are completely useless!" – said the angry elf merchant.
"Elite merceries my ass!"
"You- "
"Shut the fuck up!" – replied the mercenary guard.
"Do you really think we would be able to bear that entire army of the monsters?! How stupid are you?!"
"Shh!" – said the guard.
"The big guy is coming this way."
The crowd stared as the ClownFrog alongside the slave girl made their way to the city square.
"…."
"Listen up you all." – shouted ClownFrog.
"I'm looking for the human merchant named Augst."
"He has a belly that is sticking out by a lot and wears the yellow hat."
"!"
The man suddenly took off his hat.
However, while that was happening, the girl who standing on top of the ClownFrog hands noticed the man.
"There!"
"He is there!" – shouted the girl while pointing at the man who was trying to stay hidden.
"!?" – the man in the crowd panicked.
"If I were you, I would get out."
"Unless you want to kill you alongside everybody around you."
"?!"
The people panicked and began moving away from the man, clearing up the area and revealing the obese man standing alone.
"Is that really him?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Yes. He is the illegal merchant who bought us." – said the girl.
"?"
"Illegal merchant?" – said the random man in the crowd.
"Wait, he is criminal?!" – said another person.
The people began whispering among themselves after finding out that the obese man was a criminal and people also realized that he has illegal slaves in his possession.
"Hey."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Get your ass here before I make you." – said ClownFrog after putting down the girl on the ground.
"!"
The man quickly began running towards the ClownFrog while the crowd of people were making way for him while also giving him a stare down.
Before long the obese man made his way out of the crowd of people and stood right in front of the ClownFrog.
"…" – ClownFrog looked at the man from the above while the man was shacking violently from fear as if he was about to shit himself.
"Well then."
"I want answers." – said ClownFrog while squadding in front of the merchant.
"And so, you know, the way I killed the people of this town before was a quick death."
"But I can also make sure that you would be in world of living pain if you dare not be honest with me."
"Got it?"
"?!"
"Y-YES!" – shouted the extremely nervous merchant named Augst.
"Good."
"Then first question."
"Who are you?"
"M-my name is Augst. I-I'm a merchant."
"…" – ClownFrog raised his flag up while pointing the pointing end at the merchant.
"I'M ILLEGAL MERCHANT!" – shouted Augst in panic.
"I'm buying and selling slaves to the nobles!"
"Good. You just saved your arm from being torn off." – said ClownFrog while lowering his flag.
"Next question."
"Who are you working for?"
"…."
The merchant didn't said anything and in response ClownFrog opened his mouth before moments later a glow began appearing from inside of it.
"?!"
"THE THIRD PRINCE FACTION!" – shouted the merchant.
"…."
"What?" – said ClownFrog.
"The third prince faction!"
"The third prince faction are the ones calling the shots in the organization!"
"…."
"You are not lying to me right now? Are you?" – asked ClownFrog while having one of his claws right in front of the man eyes.
"NO! I swear! I even saw some of the third prince loyalists who are always by his side buying the slaves from me!"
"…"
"Then let's continue."
ClownFrog questions were asked one after another, revealing a lot of the informations that got ClownFrog interesting over and over again.
One of the things that got interesting was the fact that the entire illegal slave trading was a big organization of black merchants who were selling a lot of illegal stuff inside the empire and the third prince faction were using the black merchant organization for their own use and vice versa.
After some time passed, the last question was asked.
(….)
(This is way nastier than then I though.) – though ClownFrog.
(Not only that, it also explains why I haven't seen a single male or anything like that in there…. Motherfucker.)
(Still, this guy probably don't know the whole thing…. Now I have even more questions than answers, but I doubt this guy has anything else considering how cowardly and shitty this bastard is.)
"T-there! You happy?!" – said the merchant.
"P-please! Don't kill me!" – the merchant begged.
"Hm?"
"Well, I never said I won't kill you."
ClownFrog suddenly grabbed the merchant by the throat and lifted him up.
"You. Girl."
"Fallow me."
"Y-yes!" – said the scared and confused slave girl.
ClownFrog alongside the captured merchant and the slave girl headed back to the spot where the other illegal slaves were being kept.
After arriving at the scene, ClownFrog straight up threw the merchant on the ground and made him scream in pain.
"Hey." – said ClownFrog while looking at the illegal slaves.
"This guy is the bastard that was responsible for destroying your village as well as killing your parents and was even planning to sell you as slaves."
"So, I have an offer for you."
"Do you want to sell the motherfucker that made you all suffer?"
"?!"
Everybody looked in shock at the ClownFrog. Both the illegal slaves and the merchant.
The merchant tried to say something, but as so as he tried to, his leg was cut off by the bone blade and his screams could be heard in all directions.
"You are no longer useful to me."
"But for them?"
"Well, it depends."
"So young ladies, what do you want to do?"
"Do you want me to kill him?"
"Or do you want to have the revenge with your own two hands?"
The girls looked scared and confused, not knowing what to do as well as the older girls who looked bloodthirsty at the man who completely ruined them.
However, the first one to act up was the purple haired woman.
"LET US KILL HIM!" – shouted the girl at the ClownFrog.
"THYE KILLED EVERBODY!"
"OUR PARENT! OUR RELETIVES!"
"ALL THE PEOPLE!"
"THAT BASTARD HAS TO PAY!"
"…."
"…. Murder him... MURDER HIM! JUST LIKE HE KILLED MOM AND DAD!" – shouted the young girl.
"PUNISH HIM!" – shouted the little girl.
The girls began shouting for the merchant to die and for them to be his judge.
"I see the decision is unanimous."
"Well then."
ClownFrog snapped his finger and the undead bringed stolen spears, swords, daggers and axes and tossed them to the ground.
The illegal slaves began looked at the weapons with blood thirsty look and began picking weapons one by one before then surrounding the merchant from all directions.
The merchant tried to crawl away, but one of the kids stabbed him in the back with the dagger before moments later the rest of the slaves began stabbing, slashing and smacking the merchant as he screamed and begged for forgiveness.
But the furious slaves did not stopped and were continue killing the merchant nonstop, even after he stopped screaming. Only after a bit of time passed the had finally stopped.
After killing the merchant, some of the slaves stared silently while being covered in merchant blood while some other began crying while hugging each other.
"…."
"Well then, I will give you a moment of peace and will come back to you later."
"You all, keep guarding them." – said ClownFrog to his undead.
"And you there, fetch some food and water and give it to them from the stuff we had stolen."
ClownFrog left the girls alone while he himself continues robbing everything of value from town.
After sometime passed, ClownFrog came back to the illegal slaves.
"Sup."
"I see you didn't even tried to run away." – said ClownFrog to the illegal slaves who were sitting on the ground, eating and drinking peaceful.
Some of them were still shaken by the situation, but were trying to calm down while also being scared deep down.
"…"
"Why?" – asked the purple haired girl.
"Hm?"
"Why did you let us have our revenge?" – asked the purple haired girl with a tired look as if she was just crying some time ago.
"…"
"Well, its complicated, but you can probably guess."
"I want to destroy this empire."
"?!" – the girls looked shocked.
"I just want to deal with this empire for more than one reason and I won't show them any mercy or anything like that."
"I will burn this entire empire to the ground."
"As for your revenge, common."
"You heard that guy speak before that he worked for the third prince faction."
"Right now the empire current emperor is dying and his four children are competing for the crown of the empire."
"One of the people who is competing is the third prince, the one responsible for your suffering."
"Let's say that I let you go or for exempla what if you somehow escaped this guy before you got to this place, what do you think would have happened?"
"The empire would want you dead."
"They would hunt you down and kill you, just to make sure that nobody would put dirt on the third prince or his faction."
"And there is one more thing. I was planning on killing everybody in here and then use the remaining people as my slaves."
As soon as ClownFrog said that, the young covered the youngest girls in order to defend them.
"Honestly, I was thinking of killing you as well…... But I changed my mind."
"I want to hear something from you all." – said ClownFrog while getting closer to the purple haired girl.
"Do you want revenge?"
"…W-what?" – replied the purple haired girl who was confused.
"Hm…. Well, revenge." – said ClownFrog.
"Against the empire that had betrayed its own people."
"And especially against the members of the empiric family."
"The ones who did this all to you and the ones who shall hunt you down to keep your mouths shut."
"Do you want it?"
"The revenge for what they did?"
"You can help us and we won't enslave you or anything. You will be free and will have an ability to help us out in destruction of the empire."
"And be free as well?"
"If you like, I can help you. But in return you will no longer be humans but an vampires, a race that feeds on the blood."
"And not only that, I would want your loyalty."
"Or you can chose to try your luck and leave this place and try to survive on your own."
"The decision is yours and yours alone."
"…."
The girls looked confused at each other.
"So, what is your response?"
"I can help you survive, be free and even have you help out in our revenge."
"Or I can leave you be and just give you some food and weapons and let you go."
"Whichever option you chose, I will be fine."
"…."
"I want to go…..." – said the purple haired girl.
"I want to fuking go!"
"I want those bastards to suffer!"
"…. She is right." – said the short brown haired girl.
"Those bastards… They need to die for everything they had done!"
"Yea! We want to help!"
"Yea!"
One by one, the girls began agreeing fallowing the purple haired girl lead.
In the end all the girls ended up deciding to join the Purple Hyena an none of them left.
"…."
"Just to make sure, you are all aware that you will be considering as the terrorist by the empire, right?"
"FUCK IT! I speak! They will got what they deserve." – said the purple haired girl.
"…" – no other girls changed their mind and did not spoken up.
"Okay."
"But for now rest up."
"I will bring you to our base now, so focus on resting up and I will clean up the rest." – said ClownFrog before walking away.
(This is an interesting development.)
(I knew that each of the emperor children were desperate for the title of the emperor and all, but that third prince is fucked up.)
(There is no way he doesn't know about it.)
(Does that mean he is so much desperate for the throne that he straight up will kill people of the empire?)
(He is fucked up.)
(Still, thanks to his actions he ended up creating allies for us.)
(Those girls are not somebodies who are extremely strong or anything like that and even turning them into the vampires won't give them instant grow in strength.)
(But, we have a lot of fresh blood to spare and even a perfect hunting ground that should help them get quiet high in terms of levels.)
(This a huge deal for me and the guild.)
(Having our own NPCs is something that we desperately need.)
(And those girls will be the start.)
Afterwords, I used all of the stolen caravans to transport any goods we had while also having a lot of captured slaves.
This time I wanted to get back to the base quickly, so I didn't took a big number of slaves since they would slow me down.
But I wasn't the only one making havoc out there.
The second group who went west were also making a lot of trouble.
Several villages and two towns had already been destroyed by them and robbed from their riches.
According to them, they had secured a lot of materials related to construction from the settlements they had robbed. They had also encounter players like me, so the people will find out sooner or later what happened.
Both of our groups captured many new slaves as well as resources and after words we straight up returned back to our base to see what loot we got.
We managed to secure a lot of resources and new slaves that we could use and we had also secured good amount of riches. I had also gotten good amount of nice and juicy informations.
However, when we got home the victims that we all had killed: Players, had already spread the word about the situation.
The Purple Hyena guild is back.
While that was happening, our members of the Purple Hyena guild were already making the slaves do their work for them while also using the stolen materials and the riches they had gotten to further boost their strength in both terms of base as well as creating new equipment.
However, I had another thing going on.
"Hey Rampage." – said ClownFrog.
"Yea boss? Why did you called me?" – asked Rampage while being above ground alongside ClownFrog.
"Hm? Hey, who are those girls behind you?" – asked Rampage after noticing multiple girls behind ClownFrog.
"Oh, them?"
"Well…... When I was raiding the Goat, I accidently ended up destroying some members of the illegal slave organization that had been kidnaping people and illegally been selling them as slaves."
"And those girls were the slaves that I had freed from these people."
"And no."
"They are not our slaves."
"?" – Rampage looked confused.
"They are the new members of the Purple Hyena guild and had already swore the loyalty to us, in exchange of killing the members of the empiric family."
"Oh…... Huh…. That's nice." – said surprised Rampage that was completely catched off guard.
"On our end we weren't able to find anybody who would join our side."
"By the way, did you bringed me to just meet them up or?"
"Well… I want the V blood you made."
"I want to turn those girls into the vampires." – said ClownFrog.
"!"
"Wait, but- "
"We know." – said the purple haired girl.
"We know what it means to be a vampire as well as what will happened to us and how people will see us. He explained it all to us."
"But we still want to become vampires and gain the vampire race power in order to become stronger."
"…."
"Huh… Very well then. I will turn you all into vampires." – said Rampage.
"So, let's get going! I want to- "
"I'm going to stop you right here and now."
"Those girls were recently slaves and all."
"I don't know if their current state can influence the transformation or make it dangerous, but lets first give them some room to breathe and recover."
"…."
"Oh… Okay." – said sad Rampage who was already getting excited to turn in vampires right now.
"You heard me, right?" – said ClownFrog while turning towards the girls.
"For now, you should rest and recover and if something happens, ask the guild members or the monsters for the help. I already left some informations to the others members, but if somebody got a problems say that they should contact me. Got it?"
"Yes sir!" – replied all the girls before walking away.
"…"
(Well, the V blood had been secured and as soon as those girls recover, they will be transformed into the vampires.)
(They will be not useful from get go and it will take a lot of time to grow strong enough to do anything.)
(Still, they are a good start.)
(However, some of the information that black merchant told me were bit annoying and useful.)
(That stupid third prince.)
(At first, I though he was just a puppet, but as it turned out he is just a greedy idiot.)
(Well… We will have to wait and see how the chaos will unfold.)
Days went by and the empire was yet again affected by this incident, but this time way bigger.
Several settlements had been completely destroyed and there was a lot of civilian casualties.
This ended up making each of the heirs factions more active.
Now each of the heirs wants to hunt down the Purple Hyena guild too boost their side drastically.
But they were not the only ones who wanted to hunt the down the Purple Hyena guild.
The Purple Hyena guild had been declared a terrorist guild inside the Oin empire.
However, the NPCs and their lands weren't the only ones affected.
Many players who were killed by the madness of the Purple Hyena guild were killed even though they were just in the wrong place at wrong time.
They just straight up killed everybody they saw without sparing anybody.
This and the previous incidents ended up provoking many people and straight up pissing them off, resulting in many people now calling the Purple Hyena guilds the villains or trolls, but some people would still call them heroes thanks to their past deeds AND people are also saying that the Purple Hyena guild is doing revenge against the empire for their past invasion.
The people opinions were divided, but that did not matter to the Purple Hyena guild members.
One thing that was sure was the fact that the Purple Hyena guild showed that they are not messing around and they will definitely reemerge again to strike again.
Their terror is yet to be over with and nobody yet knows who will be their next unlucky victims.
