[VRMMO] Dead One

"Well then, shall we get straight up the business?" – said ClownFrog while sitting down on the big wooden chair.

"What do you want from me?"

(I have many question regarding those bastards, but first thing first, its better to first hear somethings about them before then starting asking questions.)

"…."

"Before we say anything…. Can I assume that you are the ones that the metal gorillas are at war with them?"

"…."

"You probably already know about it and the answer is yes."

"!?"

"What with surprised expression? It was quite obvious." – said ClownFrog.

(Those bastards…. They must have somewhat observed us and even if they didn't it wouldn't take long to put two and two together.)

"Are you by any chance allies with the metal gorillas?"

"N-no!"

"We are not!"

"If anything we are enemies with those mindless monkeys and we are grateful that you are fighting with them."

"If anything, the reason why can even be here is thanks to you and your people fighting those bastards."

"We, the ox man and the metal gorillas, have been enemies with each other for long time and often clashed with each other."

"However, recently their attacks have calmed down and after more time had passed, the number of the attacks done by them started to very noticeable dropping."

"So, you came here to confirm if we were the cause of it all, huh?" – said ClownFrog.

"But that is the obviously not the only reason why you came here, is it?"

"…."

"Yes…..."

"Are you…. Are you, our enemies?" – asked nervously ox man.

"…"

"Who knows."

"If you are wondering about the empire, the land outside this place, then no, we are not working with them and instead are enemies with them."

"But as for our own goal…. We are trying to make our base in this place."

"So far, we only encounter some mindless monsters, but you guys are different."

"If so, we won't be attacking you nor we will be trying to invade your territory and try to take it over, since we can reason with you people."

"However, if you are hostile OR are working for the empire, you are dead, got it?"

"!?"

"Wait, I thought you were a part of the empire?!" – said surprised beast monster.

"No, we are not."

"Is that a problem?"

"?!"

"N-no! If anything, it's great! Its great that you are not part of them!"

(If anything, I think that guy maybe an enemy with the empire?!) – though the ox man.

(I wasn't expecting this kind of development!)

"So there you have it."

"As long as you don't bother us, we won't bother you, since we can communicate."

"But those metal gorillas will have to go."

"Is that all?"

"Or do you have any more questions?"

"…."

"Say…. You don't know the location of the "Real Base", right?"

"?"

"Real base?" – said ClownFrog.

"I see… You don't know…."

"Say, you want to exterminate those metal gorillas, right?"

"If so, if I provide you with information where to find their main base, will you destroy it and exterminate if not straight up kill every single metal gorilla here?"

"…."

"It depends." – said ClownFrog.

"But first thing first, what is the "Real Base" you had talked about?"

"Metal gorillas make two type of settlements."

"The real ones and fake ones."

"The real ones are buried underground, while the fake ones are on the surface."

"They use the fake bases as both their over ground bases as well as distraction to keep predators from their real homes."

"!"

(Wait, now that he mentioned it, Oron said that we had never killed any metal gorillas children's and he said that he found it odd.) – though ClownFrog.

(So that's what was going on and why we are keep dealing with metal gorillas, even though we had destroyed their homes and bases over and over again.)

"So they are not completely brainless, huh?" – said ClownFrog.

"And you are saying you know where their main homes are located? The real underground ones?"

"Yes…. We will provide you with information, so you can deal with those bastards." – said ox man.

"…."

"Hm…..."

"True. The offer to give us information to deal with our shared enemies is quite good."

"So…. Why should I trust you?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Excuse me?" – said ox man.

"You suddenly appear, out of nowhere. Wants to meet the leader of this place. Offer a deal where you provided me with information to deal with an annoying enemy we want to deal with."

"And that's it?"

"I don't want to sound mean or disrespectful, but how the hell can we even trust you?"

"!"

"But- "

"It's my turn now, right?" – said ClownFrog, not letting ox man finishing talking.

"Its my turn to ask question now."

"I didn't lied or anything when you had asked me, so I demand that you will do the same."

"And I just dare you to lie in my face!"

"?!"

"…. I understand." – said visible scared ox man.

"Good."

"First thing first. I want to know your circumstances."

"Where is your home?"

"…."

"I cannot tell you that." – said ox man.

"…Fine. Understandable."

"Then next question. What is your story?"

"For example, history of your people as well as relationship with metal gorillas."

"…."

"I can only say we are enemies and we want to exterminate every single one of them…. And that is all."

"Yea, you said that already, but I want more informations."

"What if you aren't me telling the full picture regarding the metal gorillas."

"I know that those monsters are nothing more than savage brutes, so I don't think you maybe cooperating with them…. But there is an option that the one leading them is a creature with intelligent that can communicate and maybe you two are working together to fuck us over. "

"!?"

"TAKE THAT BACK!" – shouted the ox man that did not said anything yet.

"We would never- "

ClownFrog looked towards the ox man.

The ox man instantly shut himself up while looking visible scared at ClownFrog before then sitting back down on his chair.

"…."

"Like I said, I don't know. And I never encounter your kind before."

"We did encountered the members of the minotaur race before as well as other demi-human monster tribes such as lamia, harpies and sobeks and we even worked with them in the past." – said ClownFrog.

"But here is the thing mate, I don't know you."

"What if that entire information you have told me was a lie and the next thing, we know we are straight up entering the trap."

"And the other way goes around as well."

"Why the hell are you putting your trust into us so easily?"

"No matter how I look at this, it's very fuking suspicious like hell!"

[You have received messenge from player Oron.]

["The area is clear boss. There is nothing outside hiding or anything like that."]

["These 3 guys are the only ox man's here."]

"…."

"I will be straight right now."

"Tell me who you people really are and what your really goal right now, or it will be the end of the talk."

"GOT IT?!"

"…."

The ox man's looked at each other nervously before moments later A'gan. Had suddenly spoke up.

"Its because we are not slaves like them."

"?!"

"Wait! Why- "

"Shut up!" – said A'gan to another ox man.

"…"

"In here, the place you people call [Bloody Mounties], this place is about the territory."

"The more territory you have, the more you can grow both in numbers and in power."

"In this place, there are many different type of monsters as well as monsters group or maybe other clans like ourselves, I don't know about other clans being in this place, since we mostly focused on ourselves."

"All you need to do here is to care about your own survival."

"However, ... There is a monster that enslave other monsters here and turn them into their own slaves."

"Some want to, while some don't want to."

"And let me guess, you are their next target."

"Yes…. And it's just matter of time before "That" being targets you for either destruction or enslavement."

"Huh, so you left out the important part about those gorillas working for somebody eh?" – said ClownFrog.

"In order worlds, there is some sort of powerful being controlling them?"

"And that guy or thing is currently targeting you, but sooner or later it will also target us, eh?"

(So, in if everything this guys says is true, there is a guy who wants to rule this place and it either recruiting or enslaving monsters to join his side.) – though ClownFrog.

(And currently, their next target is ox man's who are resisting the enslavement.)

(However, out of nowhere we appeared and are currently fighting the monsters that were send after them.)

(The two ox mans seemed like they didn't wanted for that guy to speak…. I guess their plan was to use us as sacrifices where we would end up dealing with their enemies instead of them.)

(Their plan was good…. And it sounds real.)

(We do know that there are definitely stronger monsters that metal gorillas out there and that there was a possibility of the intelligent monsters out there.)

(The [Bloody Mounties] isn't just some big hunting grounds, its straight up massive, way bigger than any cities we have been so far… Heck, we can even put city here and there will be still space left over…. Its massive in short, very massive. And there is a still lot of terrains that we have yet to scout as well as discover.)

(There is also the fact that there is barely information available to the public regarding the 3 great danger zones, since well… They are straight up "Hell" to many where barely anybody survivors if they dive too deep into them.)

(The current problem is the lack of informations.)

(I straight up don't know if that guy is fabricating stuff or not.)

(What if he enslaved already and is now trying to manipulate us?)

(What if the story regarding the "Big bad master of this place" is made up?)

(There is straight up way too many unknowns regarding his story, informations, intentions as well as possibility of him and other ox mans already working for someone.)

(I don't doubt the fact that this guy had lived in this place for longer than us, meaning he has information advantage over us who just have gotten here.)

(….)

(I need to talk with others about this.)
