[VRMMO] Dead One

[Current location: Capital city of the Garog kingdom.]

"Hey boss. I'm here." – said Tail as he approached ClownFrog.

"How are the preparations going?"

"Good. The undeads and the golem had been replenished and we have quiet nice addition to our army." – said ClownFrog as he pointed with his thumb in the air where several undead dragons and wyverns were transformed into the light attribute undeads.

"We may ended up losing an huge amount of undeads after that battle, but we managed to secure enough corpse to recreate and even strengthen our army.

"And when it came down to the demons, it will take time… But I think we should manage, maybe. I'm also thinking about accelerating the demonic city we talked about."

"Oh? So, we will have an permanent connection to the hell?" – asked curios Tail.

"Well, even though it would be something like the hell gate that would be opened all the time, it won't exactly work like you think. There are several problems with it and most specifically it won't allow any extremely strong demons to pass through, but it could help us build an relationship with hell and proper relationship with the demon lords of hell who we were so far avoiding in order to not create any possible new enemies." – explained ClownFrog.

"But why should we build relationship with any of the hell demon lords?" – asked Tail.

"Don't take me wrong. But based on the heaven, I already got somewhat bad impression about godly beings."

"Well, you are not wrong. I don't trust the demon lords of hell." – replied ClownFrog.

"However, tell me this. With my current power. Do you think I can go up against the hell demon lord?"

"…."

"Well. I never heard of any player fighting either god or hell demon lord, so I can't answer that." – said Tail.

"However, what I can say is that they will think twice before thinking about betraying you, since you had already showed more than enough strength."

"That is right. This will make hell demon think twice before doing anything dirty behind my backs, or they will end up getting fucked." – said ClownFrog.

"Anyway, any news from the fortresses cities?"

"Well, they are almost finished reappearing…. But the problem are with the weapons and possible upgrades." – said Tail.

"Wretch says that if another attack like that would happened, the fortress city would end up receiving the same amount of damage if not more."

"No need to. Focus on the repairs." – said ClownFrog.

"This war is slowly reaching its end and once the first prince faction is destroyed, the second prince will be all alone and be an easy target."

"He won't have any ability to attack and the best he would be able to do is to just put up his defenses."

"The spies in the neighboring kingdoms had also reported that the kingdoms are both scared and don't wish to fight the Garog kingdom OR provide aid to the Oin empire. So as long as we don't provoke them or attack them directly, then we won't have to face them."

"However, the problem are the churches and the kingdoms that are tied to them…. This is the problem."

"Probably why they had not made any moves yest is because of the succession war."

"The Oin empire is unstable right now, but what do you think would had happened if that war would had ended and the emperor would get decided? The empire would unite and quickly regain its strength."

"And that would any form of movements made by neighboring kingdoms or churches hard like hell."

"…."

"They want us to murder each other and then attack the winner." – said Tail.

"And they have an good reason to do that."

"The "Evil kingdom of Garog" or "The wicked Oin empire"."

"Yeb. They will definitely come after the winner." – said ClownFrog.

"Then shouldn't we prolog the battle for as long as possible then?" – asked Tail.

"Well, that would be an idea and an perfect one at that. We can grow in power the more people fall in battle while the empire would be still losing soldiers." – replied ClownFrog.

"However, the problem is with the benefactor."

"His army of monsters is way too strong to be just ignored."

"And as long as the 'staff' is out there, there won't be any peace."

"Not only that, but there were attacks of the slave hunters and actives of the slave traders within the Oin empire."

"They attacked both us and the Oin empire…. There is an high chance that this isn't some remains of the third prince faction, but instead the 'benefactor' forces."

"The third prince was an complete idiot and even his normal army as well as the mercenary army was composed nothing more than traitorous bastards."

"However, if that army had an proper leader, things would get dicey and turn really badly for us."

"If the 'benefactor' is already on their move, then we cannot prolong the war for too long."

"The more we wait, the more humanoid monsters they can make…. And considering how they just "GAVE THE CRAFTING METHOD" to the third prince like that would suggest that it didn't bothered them, since it could possibly be not their strongest weapon."

"If we secure the staff, the 'benefactor' will either back away or reveal himself in the broad daylight in order."

"But if we defeat the empire, won't the hostile churches attack us? We will end up in another war either way." – said Tail.

"We normally would, but the problem is that we have an informations and we also have the first princess Amelia on our side."

"By using her to act as political figure between the nations as well as the fact that we have informations regarding the 'benefactor', any form of attacks right now on us could make any churches that would launch attacks on us be seen as an doing of the 'benefactor', in turn causing the attackers to look as the 'benefactor' allies."

"…Scandal." – said Tail.

"Exactly." – said ClownFrog.

"They are maybe churches that have an supports of the gods, but what if the people that support those churches or believe in their gods end up seeing them as possible bastards that are willing to do the same things as the third prince did? Their power and authority would end up weakening too much."

"However, there will be obviously some greedy kingdoms and churches possible declaring wars on us, without carrying about the consequences and who says that there won't be any wars in the future after things calms down somewhat?"

"That is why we are focusing more on military than expansion, in case we really will end up fighting."

"However, first we need to deal with the Oin empire, since we have yet to won and who knows what could happened?"

"The 'benefactor' makes their moves now or when we start moving? One of the faction decide to ally themselves with the 'benefactor'? Or maybe some random kingdom that had grown greedy enough to launch an attack?"

"Anything could happened at this point."

"Desperation and greed. Those things may end up making things annoying for us if the enemy succumbs to those."

"Once our forces are ready, we are moving out."

"Lets crush the Oin empire before anything too annoying pops up."

Preparing our forces for the counter attack did not took extremely long, since after the failed attempts made by the first and the second prince, we had managed to secure a huge amount of corpse.

The golems were either repaired or were replaced with brand new ones.

And as for the demons, they got summoned.

The two fortress cities that were damaged after the two attacks were somewhat repaired, not completely, but enough for them to hold off the attack.

Since we didn't wanted to waste any more time, the Garog kingdom army had began moving, launching an counter attack against the first prince Apollo.

In this attack, the 6 members of the guild are leading the charge alongside Ampi, Lil, Tail and Wretch, the 10 strongest players in the guild, alongside few other players. The rest of the guild will be in charge of the defense and managing the kingdom in case of either 'benefactor' or the second prince making their move.

There is also another problem with us not being able to find the traces of the slave traders that went missing after their attempts of kidnapping…. The 'benefactor'. This bastard is playing his tricks once again.

We need be careful when taking actions.

And there is also another problem.

The first and second prince, they are already suspecting the princess Amelia and had already used their spies to investigate her…. At this rate she will get found out and attacked. We need to rescue her soon.

So, without any delays, we set off and invaded the first prince territory.

It didn't took long for our movements to get detected by the first prince and the second prince, causing their forces to gather up and prepare themselves for defense.

But if they think that it will be enough to stop us, then I guess they are far too optimistic.
