Chapter 402 - 403 – After the antman’s attack.
[Few in game days later after the green antman attack.]
"Anything new?" – asked ClownFrog as he walked through the base alongside Ampi and Tail.
"Nope. Nothing at all." – replied Tail.
"There is no movement or anything like that going on."
"The first prince had made no movements or anything like that."
"The guys we hired maybe shady, but they are doing their work."
"By the look of things, first prince have given up."
"…. Huh…. I thought it would take some more time…. But he gave up after the first try?" – said Ampi.
"He is probably scared." – said ClownFrog as he entered the production lab where Blueberry, triplets and other crafters were making items.
"Hey! Vin! Pin! Min!"
"Yes?" – asked Pin who emerged from behind an giant golem alongside her sisters.
"Boss?" – asked Min.
"What is it?" – asked Vin.
"Just checking quickly. But how long it will take to finish "These" guys?" – asked ClownFrog.
"It will take time." – said Min.
"However, at this current pace." – said Vin.
"It will be finished before long and we will be able to start produce more of them after that." – said Pin.
"Good. Keep up the good work." – said ClownFrog as he left the room.
"Anyway, as I was saying, the first prince is scared."
"There are two wars going on."
"One between the Purple Hyena and the other between the four factions."
"Honestly, they are trying to suppress the informations, but it's impossible and pretty much a lot of people if not entire empire knows about it."
"The emperor will die soon and it could happened even right now."
"He had not named an true successor to the throne yet, meaning that if he dies, the throne will be left empty and all 4 factions are eager to murder each other for it."
"Right now, all four factions are preparing for the war and they are straight up forgetting or don't want to waste any efforts to look for us."
"If they would try and look for us, the opposing factions could use this opportunity to sabotage them or attack them directly and that is something obviously they don't want."
"…."
"So wait, we are completely safe?" – asked Ampi.
"We can't be so sure of that yet." – replied Tail.
"We will need to keep our watch in case of anybody trying to come here."
"But this time it will be much easier, since people here would be much more tired since they would need to come from far away settlement and our most nests are slowly getting ready."
"Even if there would be any empire forces making any moves or the players be it some randoms or rankers, we will deal with them."
"He is right." – said ClownFrog.
"Right now, our base have started entering an high speed in terms of development and growth."
"All our facilities have been upgraded and our farms have expanded a lot and are keep expanding to the antmans."
"The green antmans wanted to stay more behind for now and wanted to focus on farming and this benefit them as well, since they are securing good amount of food for themselves."
"The red antmans are also doing well and the oxman's had an full recovery and all of their warriors are ready to fight."
"All our forces are starting to grow and the demons joining our side and I'm planning on recruiting some high ranking demons soon."
"Our forces are growing."
"Our base is growing."
"And now all that remains is to become the true ruler of this place."
"…."
"Huh….. How long we were here for?" – asked Tail.
"For few good months already…. We…. Huh… We were here for quiet long time… Time sure flies." – replied ClownFrog.
"…."
"What the fuck?" – said Tail.
"No! I mean like seriously! What the fuck!"
"Ever since we got to this empire, so many things had happened!"
"Our guild have won the first ever tournament and the boss was named the current strongest player in the game."
"We also the first ever guild to have to declare something as big as an war against the whole empire."
"Our entire guild had gotten a lot of powers ups, making even regular member extremely strong to the point they could possible taken on rankers by themselves."
"We had also recruited many and I mean MANY MONSTERS and have even obtained their nests, making us the players with the biggest monsters army ever."
"And if we combined your status as the herald of the sloth as well as your power of the undeads, we have straight up 2 more giant armies of demons and undeads."
"Especially undeads, since you are an fuking lich dragon."
"Then there is also the monster factory that allows us to make a lot of man made monsters like golems, puppets or monsters toys."
"So we have an straight up an demon lord type of legion of monsters and elite soldiers."
"So-"
"Please wait a moment." – said ClownFrog as he noticed the vampire girl with purple hair ponytail walk towards them.
"…. Is everything alright Bella?" – asked ClownFrog.
"…. No…. Sorry…. I need to rest." – said Bella as she walked past ClownFrog and the rest of the group.
"…."
"Is everything alright with her?" – asked Ampi.
"Nope. Nothing is alright." – replied ClownFrog.
"Bella is the first vampire we had made and recruited to our side."
"After growing strong enough with her elite members who were also the vampire villagers girls like her originally, they had started operating in the empire, recruiting some people to our side that have grudges against the empire or had their lifes saved by her and the girls."
"Honestly most of the people they had recruited were females. Prostitutes who were forced to sell their bodies. The wife's the empire had robbed of their husbands from the wars the first and third prince did before we had fought them."
"Or the slaves that had been an just innocent girls before the third prince attacked them…. And as for males…."
"They were either killed or were used for experiments with no hopes of surviving?" – said Ampi with sad face.
"Yeb…. Some were found in pieces…. While other disappeared into this air, making any males slaves straight up have an 0% survivalist rate. And she is annoyed because of that. She isn't recruiting only female into our side because she wants to, but because she cannot rescue the males slaves." – said ClownFrog.
"She says she said that the empire is mocking her right in the face. Half of the people she tries to rescue are dead or gone before she gets to them."
"We don't know where the third prince black markets are, but we can speculate where they are based on some suspicious locations in the empire or the major locations that are part of the third prince faction, however attacking them would both expose us and put the slaves in danger."
"Bella is fully aware of that and that makes her angry. She knows that if we attack left and right and make it aware that we are looking for the black markets AND that the people that they had turned into slaves had joined us as vampires, they would begin killing any slaves in order to make sure we won't get any vampires."
"The vampire girls told me that she is blaming herself for being weak and that she cannot wait, but she is aware that rushing in would be way too dangerous."
"So yea…. She is pissed at the empire even more and she is pissed even more at herself."
"…."
"Honestly, we are planning on turning her into the pure vampire."
"!"
"Wait, are you serios?" – asked Tail with serios expression.
"Yeb." – replied ClownFrog.
"She had proven herself more than enough."
"Thanks to her and her elite squad we had recruited an huge number of vampires to our side, she had gathered a lot of informations from within the empire."
"She was not discovered at all and she managed to bring all of the recruited vampires here safely."
"Not only that, but she managed to discover what the fuck third prince had been doing in secret and what was up with the whole fake Purple Hyena."
[Sometime before the invasion on the Forgotten Fragment dungeon.]
*Knock* *Knock*
"Enter." – said ClownFrog as he was checking on the reports.
The doors opens and two woman's enter the room with one of them being the vampire girl named Bella as well as an adult female elf.
"?"
"Bella? Is something is wrong?" – asked ClownFrog as he noticed the elf woman standing right next to the vampire.
"Yes. It's quite important." – said Bella as she saluted.
"Please." – said Bella to the elven woman.
"…."
"M-my name is Anna." – said the nervous elven woman.
"…. Please. Calm down. He won't hurt you. You have my word." – said Bella as she tried to help and calm down the woman.
"She is right. I won't do anything. Bella have brough you to me and that means that I won't even pluck an single strain of hair from your head." – said ClownFrog.
"Please. Sit down and calm down." – said ClownFrog as he pointed towards the sofa.
Bella took the elven woman to the sofa where both woman's sat down.
"I think you are scared of me, so I will just keep my distance to not alarm you or anything like that." – said ClownFrog as he kept sitting on his chair next to the desk.
"…."
"We… We were attacked by the empire…. They had attacked the Obalin kingdom." – said the elven woman.
"!?"
"Wait, what?" – said confused ClownFrog.
"I-I don't know! They just attacked us out of a blue. They used necromancy and some weird monsters alongside the soldiers that weren't wearing the Oin empire armor or symbols." – said the elven woman's.
"We only found out later that they were empire…. But before we found out about it, I found myself tied up alongside other people."
"We were blind and gagged before then being transported somewhere."
"I heard that they were planning on selling us…. But then miss Bella showed up and rescued us."
"However…. My… Husband…."
"…. He were gone…." - said the elven woman as she began crying and Bella contorted her.
"…."
"The third prince had been launching attacks on the other kingdoms while using the name Purple Hyena as their cover up." – said Bella.
"They had been framing us for his crimes and while doing so, they were kidnapping people for both experiments and slavery."
"…."
"Tch."
"Bastards." – said ClownFrog.
"So, they haven't stopped and now they are trying to shift all the blame on us because we are "Bad guys"?"
(Still, they are still continue the whole slavery and experiment thing? Why?) – though confused and annoyed ClownFrog.
(I get that the whole kidnapping people of the empire is much harder now because of the reinforcements that had been done through the entire empire, but they are really taking risks of doing something as risky as that?)
(The fuck is the third prince faction doing?)
(Why do they need the living test subjects and so much money from selling illegal slaves?)
(Necromancy? She said…. No. No… Its not that. They probably used the undeads to make it look like its our doing somewhat in case they got seen in action.)
(The males that got turned into monsters that Hera and O'a encountered…. They are trying to use people in order to create something and they need a lot of money for it as well.)
(However, an slip up and the third prince would become the terrorist of the empire.)
(But how is he also keeping whole thing hidden so well?)
(Does he instantly hunts down an sources of informations or slips ups and "Silences" everything?)
(That bastard…. Third prince.)
(The fuck is he doing?)
