Chapter 404 - 405 – The emperor passing.
"Today we had gathered to say our goodbyes to the recently deceased emperor of the Oin empire, Alexander Oin." – said the priest.
The emperor of the Oin empire, Alexander Oin, had finally died.
After his death, people of the empire, nobles, commoners and even emperor children's have gathered at his funeral.
The event itself was taking place in the empire garden of heroes where countless heroes of the empire and people of respect were buried.
"I can't believe he is just gone like this." – said the nobleman.
"He was an good men…." – said the sad commoner woman.
"What will become of the empire after his death?" – asked the scared nobleman.
"There is also the thing regarding him not naming the final successor… Does that mean that we don't have an emperor?" – said conflicted knight.
"…."
The people watched as the coffin of the emperor was carried through the graveyard before then getting placed right in hole before the hole itself began getting covered with dirt.
Before long, the emperor corpse alongside his coffin were buried and sealed in the end beneath an giant stone slap.
After the emperor body was buried, an memorial party was held in the name of the emperor where a lot of high ranking figures as well as those who possess many different forms of influence had gathered.
"…."
"Shit." – said noble man.
"Hm? What is it?" - asked curios nobleman.
"Look you idiot around. Can't you feel it?" – said scared nobleman.
"Even though it was supposed to be event where we give the respect to the emperor, the air here feels like an all-out brawl would spread."
"It's all because of- "
"Shut it!" – said the panicking nobleman in panic as he noticed the first princess of the empire walking near them.
"…."
"What do you want from me?" – asked the Apollo Oin who was keeping the distance away from the crowd.
"Nothing much. Brother Apollo." – said Amelia Oin with an smile.
"…. Bullshit." – replied Apollo.
"I already noticed you using the artifact to cut us off from the outside and for nobody to hear us talking."
"So cut the crap and get to it before people notice."
"The fuck do you want?"
"…."
"Well, I was wondering if you know what our little brother Simon is doing." – said Amelia.
"!"
"Oh? It seems that I have gotten your interests."
"…"
"Speak." – said Apollo with cold tone.
"Do you know about the fake Purple Hyena attack talk that was going around?" – said Amelia.
"I think our little brother is behind it all and I don't think his main goal is frame the Purple Hyena, but instead he has an specific goal in mind."
"…."
"What do you know?" – asked Apollo.
"Hm… Who knows?" – replied Amelia.
"This is my free info…. But what about the paid info?"
"…."
"Then have fun." – said Apollo as he walked away, leaving an invisible sphere that cut off the communication.
"…."
(Well, I at least did put an little seed at least in my brother head.) – though Amelia as she smiled behind an fan.
(But seriously now. That bastard Simon…. I still don't know what he is planning and it shouldn't be possible for him to hide it from me…. He needs to die first.)
"…."
(Dammit. Those bastards… What they are plotting?) – though Simon who saw from afar his two siblings talking for an moment.
(Especially that bitch Amelia…. She is scheming a lot and apparently, she is on my tracks…. Fuck. I need to crush her entire faction soon before any of her people find anything and start talking.)
"…."
*Sigh*
(Father just died, but they are already scheming, aren't they? Pathetic.) – though the second prince Erun Oin as he observed his siblings from the distance.
(Well, its not like I'm anything different from them.)
(But soon, all mask will come off and the war will start.)
(Honestly, I'm mostly cornered about Apollo…. He is an bomb that needs to be dealt with…. And there are also these two. I don't know what they are scheming, but I will need to find out the truth, by any means necessary.)
Even though the emperor had passed away and it was supposed to be the time of mourning, the schemes of the four factions have now started slowly operating for real and there was no use hiding that as everybody in and outside the empire knew what will happened.
[Meanwhile – Bloody Mountains.]
"So, the old and sick emperor had finally kicked a bucket?" – said ClownFrog as he sat on top of the mountain of dinosaur monster corpses.
"Yeb. I just got the news." – said Tail.
"The emperor had passed away and there was already an funeral held for him as well as memorial party."
"However, considering the four factions, they will start moving without carrying about the emperor death."
"Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that." – said GreyHunt as he hid his extendable blades after finishing his battle.
"Even if those bastards may not care about their father death, even they wouldn't make any big movements from get go or that could hurt their image and faction reputation."
"They will probably wait sometime, maybe at least an week, before they will start moving for real."
"Anyway, how the "Negotiations" went?"
"Well, not so good." – said ClownFrog as he snapped his fingers and moments later an giant T-rex monster with countless spikes on its back like an porcupine.
[A'g'a – The Ruler Of The Spiked T-rex]
"As you can see, the ruler wasn't really willing to join our side "Willingly" per say." – said ClownFrog as he got off the corpse.
"But I got to say, this bastards put up quiet an fight. Even single one of them were quiet ferocious bastards and that makes all of it way better than we had expected."
"We had taken over the nest and it will definitely take quite some time before it will become tamed…. But we made sure to make an example if they won't fallow our command."
"Anyway, how are the others doing?"
"They are also doing good. They had subjected some snake lord monster, but apparently, he was an small fly and they can't find the like an main nest." – said Tail.
"Tell them to look around bit more. Maybe those snakes could be somewhat useful." – said GreyHunt.
"Hey boss. How much longer we have to do this for?"
"Oh, this was the last one." – said ClownFrog.
"…Wait, really?!" – said shocked GreyHunt.
"Yeb." – replied ClownFrog.
"I know that having many monsters nests are good and everything, but we don't have enough people that are able to handle those things and their growth and there is also the whole thing with giving those monsters their own territories as well making sure they are well fed and trained."
"Honestly, we can think of recruiting more nests, but not now since we need to focus on the monster nests we have right now."
"Anyway, take care of things here, since I need to go back to the base for now."
"Huh? Why now?" – asked GreyHunt.
"Well, monster nests are one thing, but another are demons." – replied ClownFrog as he spread his giants wings.
"Hera just told me that the preparation for the demon summoning are completed, so I will be going now."
"See you later!" – said ClownFrog before taking off and quickly flying away.
After parting ways with his group, ClownFrog flew straight back to his base.
Upon coming back, the entire scenery of the base had completely changed.
At first glace it looked like an giant forest, but once you get past the tree cover, you will find an giant city where many monsters were living.
"Fresh fruits! Take some fruits!" – shouted the vampire sales woman.
"Okay boys! Let's get this job over with so we can dead drunk afterwords! Who is with me!?" – asked giant ox man.
"WE ARE!" – shouted excited young ox man's.
"…."
(Huh…. This place really did became something like an city….) – though ClownFrog as he landed on the ground and took on his humanoid form.
"Oh, lord ClownFrog. Good morning!" – said excited young vampire girl.
"Good morning." – replied ClownFrog.
"…."
(Honestly, I would have never expected we would done this and everything…. But still, we made an god dammit city!)
(An not only that, but an giaganting one that stretches underground, in the mountain and even above ground!)
(To make things even more interesting, we are using this tree cover we had made to make it look like this is an giant forest from above, so even if you climb on top of the mountain, you won't find this city, unless you cross the mountain and go down.)
(But the whole mountain line is our little trap and we have reinforcements here and there, so if somebody tries to climb this place, they will get hunted down.)
(Not only that, but the nests we had but on the outer ring of the Bloody Mountains have started developing and the monsters there.)
(Pretty much not only we have almost taken completely control of the inner ring of the Bloody Mountains, but we had also managed to increase the difficulty of this place.)
(Pretty much, this place has straight up turned into an "Land of a demon lord".)
(But it's not finished yet!)
(However, it will be finished soon!)
(And once it is finished, we shall soon start our real war!)
(This long wait will be soon over and all of the preparations we had did will be finally be put for use.)
(But, before any of that, its time to recruit some motherfucking strong demons to our side!)
