Chapter 438 - 439 – First prince and second prince move.
After the meeting between first princess and the king of the Garog kingdom conclude, both of these sides began already operating, planning their next move.
The Garog kingdom was slowly stabilizing, with in turn allowed them to slowly mobilize their armies, while the first princess had started looking in secret about the staff as well as any informations that may suggest that either first or second prince could be now working with the 'benefactor'.
However, while these two who were in the shaky alliance were preparing themselves, so were the first prince and the second prince factions were also moving in secret, with the second prince hiring multiple rankers and their guilds.
Everybody were making their preparations and for quiet long amount of time none of the sides had took any actions yet.
However, it was obvious that somebody will take action at any time….
[Current location: Capital city of the Garog kingdom – Castle.]
"Sir. Our army preparations are proceeding smoothly." – said the female vampire secretary.
"How much?" – asked GreyHunt.
"About 75%, but at the current day, we may end up being fully prepared." – said the secretary.
"The initial chaos caused by the new citizens had slowed us down a bit, but now that the chaos had calmed down and news houses as well as jobs were offered to the new citizens."
"There were few cases of the bandits appearing, but thanks to our security, we were able to quickly identify the culprits and deal with them."
"How many?" – asked GreyHunt.
"Well, there were quiet huge number of them and by the look of things most of the bandits we had dealt with were the remnants of the third prince faction." – said the vampire.
"Well, that much was obvious. The third prince and all those who followed him are now known as "Fucked up bastards" in the Oin empire as well as neighboring kingdoms." – said GreyHunt.
"So, it was quiet obviously they would become wanted criminals."
"As for why they are targeting us, its obvious. They though that our kingdom would be now valuable since its still chaotic and we accepted a lot of new people."
"Still, these bastards should be now aware that our security isn't something that can be looked down upon, even during these chaotic times."
"But just in case, all the captured criminals, turn them into the slaves or execute them depending on their crimes or whenever or not they worked for the third prince."
"Make an example out of them."
"As you wish." – said secretary.
"…."
(Well, the chaos within our kingdoms was way bigger than we had expected… And we had to deal with some bandits as well as spies mixed with the new citizens… Things were just annoying.) – though GreyHunt as he walked around the castle with his secretary.
(Still…. It would had been nice if we could have started recruiting new players into the Purple Hyena guild or just start accepting adventures into our kingdom.)
(But the problem is that the a lot of the players would just joining our nation to try and hunt on the Bloody Mountains where we cannot have people doing that or these guys could be an double agents.)
(I asked some of the Ampi friends and the people that were originally part of her guild if they knew somebody trusty enough to join us…. But apparently they are in completely different continents and crossing isn't something cheap and it cannot be done with the snap of the fingers.)
(Still, our reputation on the community is sky rocking again and again.)
(I even had ClownFrog go on the rampage on the frontlines, alone. Going completely berserk as he destroyed the entire army and turned everybody into undeads.)
(And as expected, there were players that were recording the whole thing.)
(At this rate, players will be begging to enter our kingdom and we will be getting some solid slaves to do the work for us.)
"…"
(Still, we need to deal with the Oin empire or weaken it enough in order for us to finally accept the players into our kingdom.)
[You have received an message from the player: Litle Maniac.]
"?"
"…."
Well, I guess we are doing it." – said GreyHunt after reading the message.
"Ambesa."
"Yes sir?" – replied the vampire.
"Relay the order. Get ready, since the enemies are coming.
["Both the first prince and the second prince armies are coming towards us. And this time they are brining way more forces than ever before."] – Litle Maniac.
The forces of the first prince faction as well as the second prince faction had been spotted by the Garog kingdom spies, revealing the two giant armies approaching the borders of the Garog kingdom.
"So, you are saying that they are approaching from this, and this directions, yes?" – asked ClownFrog as he pointed at the two different locations on the map.
"Yeb. The two armies had set off from each prince territory and it does not look like they are planning on joining." – said Tail.
"So, two separated attacks at the same time, eh? They want to split our forces." – said Ampi.
"This isn't all." – said Tail.
"According to the scouts and spies, the first prince armies is accompted by the huge group of the players…. And they had managed to identified two people among them."
"Long. The guild master of the Champion Scales guild."
"Bariv. The guild master of the Hatters guild."
"!"
"Two rankers and rankers guild, eh?" – said GreyHunt.
"But something isn't right."
"From what I know, these guys shouldn't be here."
"This war does not corners them."
"Unless somebody paid them." – said Tail.
"Then it would make senses…. Not only that, but it seems that they had brough their guilds with them."
"Long will be an annoying bastards to deal with, since not only he is one of the high rankers in the game, but also his guilds has both elites and numbers."
"And there is another problem that we couldn't identify anybody else yet, but there is an chance that these two rankers aren't the only people that the first prince hired."
"Well, there is also another problem." – said Ampi.
"According to our scouts, the second prince army is accompanied by the dragons."
"!"
"Holy dragon church?" – asked ClownFrog.
"We don't know yet… But there is an chance that its them, since there were some angel dragons present." – said Ampi.
"However, there is an chance that the second prince just managed to summon these dragons on his own."
"…."
(One of the major gods of the heavens.) – though ClownFrog.
(The father of all the angel dragons and the first angel dragon god to be born.)
(Aikaran.)
(The greedy bastard that will hunt down his own kin in order to keep his position as the only holy dragon.)
(After the old Oin empire fell, the church influence over the nation had plumed down… However, they still had some influence on the empire… And that greedy chicken lizard wouldn't want to lose that kind of nation at all cost and would want to retake the control over the Oin empire once again.)
(There is an good chance that the heavenly dragon church is really supporting the second prince, trying to use him, while being used in turn by the second prince.)
(Still… An dragons, eh?)
(And angel dragons on top of that?)
(True. Holy energy is effective against demonic and necrotic elements, but this also goes the other way around as well.)
(And our forces are not small nor they are weak… These dragons would get devoured…. And I don't think the second prince is stupid enough to not realize that.)
(Maybe the angel dragons are distraction?)
(….)
(One sides has dragons, while the other side has rankers players.)
(Well, its not like we were the only ones preparing for the battle.)
(Neither the first or second prince made any big moves for quiets sometime, so it was obvious that they were getting ready for either defense or one powerful attack.)
(Still, this isn't the worst outcome.)
(We planned on attacking the first prince territory soon, so with him now coming towards us, giving us the advantage, we will have much easier time crushing them before then we will head to the first prince territory, conquest it and conquer the capital city in order to gain the 'staff' and create the path for the first princess faction.)
"…. But the question is, how do go with this?" -said ClownFrog.
"…"
"Deal with the dragons ClownFrog." – spoke up GreyHunt.
"?" – ClownFrog gazed at GreyHunt.
"When it comes to the dragons, you should have the easiest time dealing with them." – said GreyHunt.
"We can also deploy you against the first prince army and have you kill the players there. Obviously you wouldn't be able to raise their bodies as undeads, but you can use their bodies as materials to create undeads."
"However, the dragons are way too annoying and they bring a lot of destruction to our defenses."
"Its far better plan to have you deal with them, since you can create an expendable army."
"You can also fly, so if the dragons would try to take this fight to the skies, you won't have much problems there."
"Take also Blueberry with you, since she will be also an excellent assent against the dragons."
"You can also turn the dragons into the undeads, increasing our forces by a lot."
"While you two would go and confront the second prince forces, me and the other 3 core members of the guild will confront the first prince armies."
"As for these locations here and here… Abaddon them." – said GreyHunt as he pointed at the two locations on the map and marked them with the yellow wooden blocks.
"We should let the enemies come to us where our strongest lines of the defenses are located and where we can freely use any weapons we had prepared."
"Doing that will force the enemies to do an sieges if they wish to proceed further and those locations are the locations where we would stop and destroy the enemy forces."
"How does it sounds?"
"…."
"Perfect. It sound perfect." – said ClownFrog.
"I will deal with the second prince, while you go and crush all these greedy rankers that decided to take the first prince side."
"Oh, you don't need to tell me twice about crushing them." – said excited GreyHunt.
