Chapter 261 - 262 – Hiding like rats.
"So, what do we do?" – asked Lil.
"We did though that destroying the city will take much longer unlike how we destroyed other settlements, but this was way longer than we though."
"We planned on attacking settlements around the city…. But considering how we straight up fought for hours and how we provoked the Scarlet Gryphons, its just matter of time before they gets here." – said Shri.
"I'm not scared of them, but our goal is to create distraction. If we fight them now then our plans will be ruined."
"But from I know from the internet, the Scarlet Gryphons have their base in the Zebra city. It should be quiet distance from our current location. Doesn't that mean we have time?" – said Ampi.
"I get it Ampi, but then why we encounter so many players belonging to Scarlet Gryphons, including their vice guild master in here?" – said Catfolk Ogo.
"True. Their appearance was extremely unexpected and very random." – said ClownFrog.
"Maybe they have some sort of business in here or something?"
"We didn't encounter anything like the whole Scarlet Gryphon guild or anything like that, but even so, they must have alarmed people about our presence."
"I do have a somewhat big army now…. But…. Yea. This is confusing."
(The plan was to create a giant mess and have undeads plunder settlements before then running away and have them be catched by enemy in order to plant red hearing.)
(However, the city defenses were way stronger than we expected and we encounter way too many strong players.)
(Too much time had passed…... Hm…)
"Fuck it. We are changing plans." – said ClownFrog.
"We need to make them believe in fact that the destruction of the city wasn't our goal."
"Slave master!"
"Get all undeads to rob everything of value from this city."
"Afterwords head north until you get to the forest area and hide the undead inside, but attack anybody who sees you or attacks you."
"However, if you see even a single village or town, attack it and destroy it before then commanding any new undeads to fallow original order."
"Got it?"
The zombie tilted its head.
"Good."
"As for us. We are running away, now." – said ClownFrog while turning to rest of his team.
"Its better if we get the hell out of here while we still can."
"Agree." – said Shri before summoning her evolved sand running lizards.
Our used the destruction of the city as our cover to run away while we ourselves used the undead army to run away in the opposite direction while all the valuables from the city.
So far, the undeads were still alive, meaning that the Scarlet Gryphons guild was not present in the area.
So then, why was the vice guild master and elite members present? This is confusing part.
Still, either way people will find the undeads sooner or later, considering how much time passed after the attack started.
Not only that, the undead were ordered to hide AND attack, meaning that there will be trial left behind.
However, because of the fact that the attack happened recently, we needed to make sure that we ourselves won't be spotted at all cost.
["So, you are saying that the plan ended up not going exactly the way we wanted?"] – GreyHunt – Video call.
"Unfortunately, yes. We underestimated the empire too much." – said ClownFrog.
"I may have an ability to create an army of monsters using my necromancy, but the next time I would try to use the same tactic I used before, I may definitely lose."
"They will be also aware of the fact that I can fly above the walls as well."
"Its unfortune, but any attacks on the mayor settlements like cities or towns may result in failure."
"We fucked up big time."
["…. This isn't good."] – GreyHunt.
["So even if you were to create an army of monsters beforehand, it would be still a failure?"]
"I don't know. I may or may not destroy the settlement, but after words I may end up getting attacked while exhausted, meaning that death for me."
"Not only that. But if I were to send army of undeads without me, then they won't get the buff from me and it will be quite easy to realize."
"The situation is fucked up any attempts like that in the future may end up backfiring instead."
"Not only that, but if we move too big army again near our hideout, people may realize what happened."
["So again, we need to hide now?"]
"Yeb… That or we are fucked properly."
["…. Okay. I will tell everybody about the situation."]
["But then again, this gives us new problem."]
"Yea… We need even more monsters factories."
["Yeb. If we do end up fighting the empire head on, we will 100% lose."]
"No… Monster factories alone won't work. You know that?"
"We need allies."
"But where the fuck we would get one anyway?" – asked Shri who was sitting on top of the tree branch.
"Don't take me wrong. But where would we get somebody so reckless or straight up with enough hate for the empire to join our side?"
"The Oin empire is known for its strength and everything, so I doubt we will just have an army of applicants coming our way."
"…."
"That leaves monsters." – said ClownFrog.
["We have our titles and everything, but even so, finding a monster we can communicate and doesn't fear the empire are two different things."]
["If they can communicate, then they are not some dumbasses and will realize the danger the Oin empire possess."]
["How the hell we will find an monsters we can communicate and befriend as well as make them fight the empire alongside us?"]
"…."
"Bloody Mountains." – said ClownFrog.
"That place is crawling with a horde of monsters and we did not explored even half of it or anything like that."
"But…. The deeper we would go, the stronger monsters we would encounter in there."
["…."]
["We may end up dying or provoking something we should not have provoke."]
["But if there is really an intelligent monsters there that we can befriend and use them as our soldiers…. Then it may work."]
["We can also tame monsters there or turn people loyal to us into vampires."]
"However, it will take time. Months to be specifically." – said Shri after landing down on the ground.
"Still, we do have more than enough tools and materials right now, so we can focus on making our base stronger and bigger." – said ClownFrog.
"Yea, but still…. We were suppose not to FUKING hide like rats!" – said annoyed Shri.
"Yea, but what the fuck we can do about this?" – said ClownFrog.
"Still, the preparations are going smoothly right now."
"We did encounter few problems along the way, but we are still not discovered."
"Not only that, the red hearing has been already planted."
"We have time."
"There is also the fact that we had already put our seeds into the people of the empire mind."
["…. Oh! You motherfucker!"]
"Eh? I don't get it?" – said Shri.
"Well, let's say this."
"There is a group of terrorist that have been attacking many locations across the empire. |
"But then they disappeared."
"Were they dealt with?"
"But then they reappear again."
"People will get scared and the empire will need to do something."
"But the problem is that they don't know where the terrorist are hiding nor know how their attack patterns works."
"What do you think empire will need to do to calm down the people and make sure they don't panic?"
"Strengthening defenses."
"???"
"But we already talked about this and everything." – said Shri.
"We did said that the empire may not do it for every single settlements there is and everything, since it would waste too much re- "
"?!"
"Oh!"
"I get it now!" – said Shri.
"They will now NEED to do. Either they like it or not!"
"Precisely!"- said ClownFrog.
"Right now, our weapon isn't destruction."
"It's fear."
"We spread the fear around and let it do our job for you."
"We will use the schemes to spread the destruction while using confusion to spread fear."
["The entire empire will be affected and nobody will knew where we would attack."]
["Still, this is too edged plan."]
["What if we would need to launch another attack depending on the circumstances?"]
"I know. It will give us our own problems, but do you really think we have any other options?" – asked ClownFrog.
["…."]
["No…. And that is the annoying part, isn't it?"]
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Not only that, but we will be needed to launch an attack on the empire even when we would be focus on hiding in order to make people keep aware of us."
"This will be just annoying journey."
"Right now we are nothing more than terrorist that can be easily squashed if we got exposed."
"But, give also the order to Blueberry, Oron and Rampage."
"Tell them to get stronger."
"I know we need to make sure our base is well prepared, but… I also want them to go on the rampage during tournament."
"I want to create a giant mess out of that fuking event!"
