Chapter 412 - 413 – Exposed?
After…. After encountering that old man and his men, I ended up calling an meeting…. And yea… It won't end well.
"YOU ARE TELLING US THAT WE GOT EXPOSED?!" – shouted Rampage.
"Not yet, but at this rate we will end up being exposed." – said ClownFrog.
"Honestly, this was way too random and sudden to the point I don't even know myself what had happened."
"But the point remains that the empire will definitely send some forces to investigate what had happened."
"And its because of that fuking old man."
"He was an strong bastard."
"And strong bastard like him that can sneak up on while avoiding my detection?"
"Hell, I used the [Dragonian Territory] and it didn't detected him at first, until enough time had passed for my detection to finally pick him up."
"Who ever send those bastards here are definitely not some nobodies."
"Hell, that old man, as soon as I managed to pin him down, he stopped fighting back and instant chosen to blew himself up! I couldn't even raise him as undead, since his entire corpse was straight up gone!"
"…."
"Shit. What do we do?" – said worried Lil as she held her head.
"Yea, this is bad." – said Shri.
"I mean, could have been one of the four factions?"
"If so, why would they do that?" – asked Oron.
"They weren't here to cause monsters to get angry or provoke them, causing an stampede."
"And based on what boss told us, they may have been to gather informations."
"But for what?"
"For example: are there any dangers in the Bloody Mountains? Or some sort of treasure?"
"Well, one thing I can say for sure that these guys were extremely surprised." – said ClownFrog.
"I don't think they knew about us, since obviously we weren't attacked by the empire."
"True…. But now that this mysterious strong guy disappeared." – said Oron.
"The empire may end up getting alarmed and may send more men, and that is bad for us." – said GreyHunt.
"What should we do? Should we increase the patrols and make outposts on the mountains line?" – suggested Shri.
"No. We didn't do that, since that much security would look way too suspicious." – said Oron.
"If we made add way too much security and people would see it, they would get confused and they would also get too much curios."
"However now they could possible expose us!" – shouted Shri as she slammed her hand against the table.
"Shouldn't we increase our mountains line security even more?"
"Nah. This is bad idea." – said Tail.
"Those guys got past oxman's somehow, meaning that they were able to stay hidden though the entire time."
"Oxman's are hunters by the nature and they can track their preys. They posses both hunting skills and even their natural sense are sharp, that is the reason we gave them this task."
"However, these intruders got past them and were completely unnoticed."
"Hell, they weren't even able to detect the weaker guys that the demons and undead were able to hunt down."
"Well, we did had advantage of the home territory." – said ClownFrog.
"But that is the problem."
"Hell, hunting them down was one thing, but exposing them is another."
"These bastards could hide well."
"Hell! It was an completely accident that I had discovered them! I only wanted to check if there are not some random brown antmans trying to do an suicide charge."
"If I didn't used detection magic, I would just fly past them, they would find what they were looking for while also exposing us to the outside world."
"Honestly, it looked like they had only just gotten here, considering how my undeads and demons were able to catch up to them, since they knew the terrain and if the enemy knew it, they would have been able to escape, but even so, they were not hunted immediately, even after I straight up summoned an army of them to chase after them."
"Tch. And there is also that old man."
"I may have been in my humanoid form, but my defense is still high as hell, however he managed to deal some serios damage to my neck with just one attack."
"…."
"Shit."
"Welp, I guess you all know what is coming."
"Hiding won't be an option anymore." – said GreyHunt.
"Yeb." – said Shri.
"Honestly, there is an good chance that there was more than 5 invaders, and the ones that weren't found had already escaped."
"True. That could have been possible. The invaders could have splitted up after they got here and they could have been outside my detection skill range." – said ClownFrog.
"Meaning that the possible survivors may have found and saw our base and escaped. But that is an IF there were anybody like that."
"But we cannot ignore that "IF", since it could lead to us being already exposed." – said GreyHunt.
"Even if we would start searching the Bloody Mountains now, would we find the suspect in time before he leave this place?"
"And lets say there was nobody left and the suscept is somebody completely made up for no reason, then what?"
"They would still probably send some people to investigate this place."
"And that is also that old man fault." – said ClownFrog.
"An strong bastard like him dying here would definitely make people both scared, but also curios of what had happened to him."
"…."
"We could been already exposed or we will get exposed soon."
"…"
"So, before they get an jump on us, we will move."
"!"
"Hey! So that means what I think that means?!" – said excited Rampage.
"Yea." – replied ClownFrog.
"Its time for Purple Hyena guild to reveal themselves back to the word."
"And this time, lets make the hell out of an fuking entrance!"
"ABOUT GOD DAMMIT TIME!" – shouted Rampage.
"So, its finally for the war, eh?" – said Oron.
"What? Not looking forward to it?" – asked Shri.
"Nope. Quiet opposite. I want to use all the stuff we papered so far in action." – replied Oron.
"The mass produced monsters are also ready to go and we can produce as war goes on." – said Blueberry.
"Well, we should probably first try and find an suitable location for our 'Entrance' and stuff." – said GreyHunt.
"But shouldn't we first fortified our base first?" – asked Tail.
"With us getting exposed, wouldn't it be wise idea to reinforce this place in order to make sure we are not attacked or somebody tries to spies on us?"
"True. We no longer need to hide ourselves, so we can now make post and other shit now." – said Ampi.
"…."
"Em… What about the kingdom?" – spoke up suddenly Lil, getting attention of everybody in the room.
"….Ah." - everybody realized they forgotten about the whole kingdom part.
"Right. We were so focused on our job that we forgotten to discuss about the kingdom." – said Shri.
"Em…. What we were supposed to talk about?" – asked Rampage.
"The name of the kingdom. The ruler. And the flag slash the symbol." – said ClownFrog.
"Hm…. Should we go with the council option?" – suggested Lil.
"Nah. I think the king option would be far better." – said GreyHunt.
"And the obvious pick would be ClownFrog."
"Eh? We are picking me from get go?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Well, yea?" – said Oron.
"You are currently known as one of the strongest players in the game and hell, you got straight up upgraded into full out demon lord, ever since your last appearance to the outside world."
"You are an powerful figure."
"And well known one as well."
"Honestly, just having you as an king alone would make the kingdom presence be more somewhat more powerful."
"The council is also an good idea, but its better if we go with the impact and figure."
"…."
"What do you bastards think?" – asked ClownFrog.
"…."
The members of the Purple Hyena guild began discussing the matter between themselves.
"…."
"Hm… So, what?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Does, anybody want to go with the council? Raise your left hand?"
"…." – people in the room looked at each other, but nobody raised their hand in the end.
"…Huh? I mean, no single one?" – asked ClownFrog.
"I mean, he isn't wrong." – said Litle Manica.
"I kind of want the council thing… But after thinking about it, its kind of good idea to have you as our 'face'?" – said Swim.
"Yea. And hey. We could go something like the heavenly generals theme? You know, like the stuff that demon lords in novels and mangas often have." – said Apple Juice.
"Oh! Right! It could be an nice idea with other core members!" – said Orange Juice.
"…."
"Okay. Fine! I will be the king or demon lord, or what ever the hell people you want." – said ClownFrog, giving up.
"But what about the name of our kingdom?"
"Hell, I don't want to call our kingdom after our guild."
"Yea, naming the "Purple Hyena Kingdom" does sound weird and its quiet lazy name." – said Blueberry.
"…."
"How about Korax?" – suggested Oron.
"Korax?" – asked GreyHunt.
"Its from Greek. It means raven or crow." – said Oron.
"So, we would be an Raven kingdom slash Crow kingdom?" – asked ClownFrog.
"…."
"It does sounds like an cool name… But I don't think I want to name our kingdom after an animal."
"Hm…." – ClownFrog began spinning in his chair.
(I don't want some stupid long name. Just an short name will do…. But…)
"Da. Ga. Do. Lag. Ion. Ag."
"…What are you doing?" – asked Shri.
"I'm saying random words and combining them and see if there is anything interesting." – said ClownFrog as he continues spinning.
"Au. Deon…. Jik…. Garak? Ov…Ka?"
"Gar…. Og?"
"Hm? Wait, repeat that last one." – said Lil.
"Hm?"
"Garog?"
"Yea, this one." - said Lil.
"This one kind of sound interesting."
"Garog kingdom…. Yea, that does sound nice."
"…"
"Hm…. Well, it does sound like somewhat solid name?" – said Shri.
"Well, yea… But do we want to go with it?" – asked Rampage.
"Well, it doesn't sound funny nor it doesn't sound too edgy or too tough… It sounds just, right?" – said GreyHunt.
"Hm…."
"I mean…. Huh…. Well, it does sound like an solid name, if I'm being honest." – said ClownFrog.
"So…. Do we go with it? Or do we experiment bit more?"
"…."
"Well… I'm trying to do the same thing you did, with random words combinations, but nothing is clicking together well." – said Tail.
"Same here. I'm kind of coming up with some cringe name nonstop for some reason." – said Ampi.
"…."
"So, wait, are we really going with it?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Left hand up for 'No' and different name."
"Right for 'yes'."
"…."
People began talking with each other for short moment before then slowly people started starting taking their votes.
[84% - YES]
[16% - NO]
"…."
"Huh…. Really?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Well, by the look of things, yes?" – said Rampage.
"…."
"Ah, fuck it." – said ClownFrog.
"It does sound like an solid and good name."
"Very well you bastards."
"You had made your decision."
"From now on. Our kingdom shall be named Garog."
