[VRMMO] Dead One

[Current location: Okal Town]

"Hey you two. We had managed to secure another settlement. What about you two?" – asked GreyHunt while using [Voice Chat].

["Good on our end. The enemy tried using golems against us, but Blueberry and I managed to demolish the entire army of them."] – said Oron.

["My end is going good as well. They are focusing me and sending assassins left and right after me, but I crushed everything."] – said ClownFrog.

["By the look of things, the split was the right decision in the end…. Still…. Any weird news?"]

"About the 'benefactor'? Nothing on our end." – said GreyHunt.

["There were few "Dissapereances" happening in the territory we had conquered with our group, but its unknown if it was the slave hunters or not. It could had been very well people that wanted to run away from us."] – said Oron.

["So, in the end we got really nothing, eh?"] – said ClownFrog.

"But isn't this an good thing though? We won't have to deal with him." – said GreyHunt.

"Not only that, we had yet to encounter an single humanoid monster. If the first prince really worked with the 'benefactor', then by now we would be already seeing these monsters. However, we are not."

"The first prince is an tactician and warrior. He wouldn't gather up the humanoid monsters near the capital city in order to defend himself."

["So, this confirms that the first prince and the 'benefactor' aren't allies."] – said Oron.

["Still, even though they are not allies, we shouldn't let our guard down. The benefact can still attack on his own and we know where he could possible attack."]

["The capital city of the Oin empire."]

["If the 'benefactor' is really going to attack this place, then we need to hurry or they will mess up this place before we do."]

["There are also few other problems."] – said ClownFrog.

["Amelia contacted me. She says that the second prince may had realized that we had made an alliance and not only that, but apparently there were few case of the people going missing in more peaceful parts of the empire. Slave hunters."]

["The benefactor is gathering their strength while also Amelia is in danger."]

"…."

"I will go." – said GreyHunt.

"I'm on the left side of the battlefield, meaning that I'm currently closest to her territory."

"I can possible create an necessary opening for her to escape and her loyalist to escape."

"The contract makes so that the target cannot target the people of the Oin empire, unless they are traitors."

"So, we don't need to rescue all of them, since the contract will forbit the first and second prince from attacking the innocent civilians."

["That is until the first prince gets defeated and killed."] – said ClownFrog.

["If the first prince gets killed, the second prince will get automatically become the emperor of the Oin empire and the contract will cease its function. This will allow the second prince to attack Amelia's people without being restrained by anything."]

["So, to make sure that the contract is still active and to abuse its effect, we need to capture the first prince alive."]

["You got it fuckers? Destroy the first prince faction fast and take hold of the first prince AND DO NOT KILL HIM NOW."]

"I got it." – said GreyHunt.

"…"

(Still…. I though that we would be struggling…. Well, by a lot?) – though GreyHunt.

"…."

"Something doesn't add up." – said GreyHunt.

"Don't you think we had started progressing way too fast now? It should be other way around; we should be slowing right now or even get halted for an moment… But we are keep pushing forward."

"These bastards are possible planning something and they are making it look like they are panicking."

["…. An trap, you say?"] – said Oron.

"Probably. But the question is what?" – said GreyHunt.

["Hm…. They could be gathering their forces to strengthen their defenses and counter our armies… They could be doing that… However, it could be also an smoke screen."] – said ClownFrog.

["The first prince may have made an plan to deal with us, but the question is what it will be exactly?"]

["The neighboring kingdoms had yet to make an move…. Or have they? What if they supporting the first prince now?"] – asked Oron.

["There is an chance… However, it wouldn't be some sort of big support, since none of our spies had reported anything."] – said ClownFrog.

(What is that guy thinking?) – though ClownFrog.

(Is he by any chance stalling in order to start up an greater ritual of the heaven in order to summon angels and especially the angel dragons?)

"…."

(No…. The first prince despises the church of the heavenly dragon. He does not trust them. If anything, he wants to destroy them. He would rather die if…. No wait. Would he really? Its just about him, it's about Oin empire.)

(…. There is an chance he would swallow up his hatred and pride in order to save Oin empire.)

(But is this really it?)

(The angel dragons that had been summoned were destroyed and turned into undeads…. It would make sense for the descend.)

(The being that descended does not have an real body, but an dummy body instead.)

(I can't turn those bodies into undeads…. However, the descend body are much weaker compare to the real deal.)

(So, the descend is out of the questions.)

(….)

(I don't know.)

(I can't figure out what they are planning… Is it simple gathering of forces?)

(No. That is definitely not it. It's definitely an smoke screen that is meant to deceive us.)

(However, we cannot delay our advance. The 'benefactor' could be gathering his forces right now and is producing if not has already created the humanoid monster army.)

(If the first prince focuses on us, then this bastard could use this chance to attack the capital city and take the 'staff'.)

(There is also Amelia. If we delay for too long, she and her people will die.)

"Tch. Annoying chest board game." – said ClownFrog.

["Hm?"] – said GreyHunt.

"Nothing. Just talking to myself." – said ClownFrog.

"Anyway, continue the advance since we don't have any time to spare."

And so, the Garog kingdom continue their march of destruction.

And as expected, something was off. The Garog kingdom forces were now marching way too easily, resulting in the Garog kingdom realizing about the trap being real.

The first one who got attacked was…..

"Oh shit."

ClownFrog.

"BARRIERS! NOW!" – shouted ClownFrog.

The undeads began deploying barriers alongside ClownFrog as boulders covered in fire and beams of the light began bombarding the battlefield.

"YOU BASTARDS!" – shouted ClownFrog.

(So that is how you are playing?! HUH?!)

(Don't fight me directly but instead use an war machines against me and war spells?!)

(…. Another question.)

"HOW MANY OF THESE FUCKING THINGS DID THEY BROUGH HERE?!" – shouted ClownFrog as countless war spells and siege weapon shots came flying down and destroying everything.

While ClownFrog army was ambushed by the war machines, Oron group managed to advance further without any problems…. However, GreyHunt army that approached the next town ended up encountering an huge army of the first prince forces that were equipped with war weapons.

"Push forward! These fuckers are using war machines to stall us! Once we get near the walls, THEY ARE FUCKED!" – shouted Rampage that was leading the charge alongside the red antmans.

"…."

(Something is still off.) – though GreyHunt as he ran through battlefield while riding his demonic horse.

(War weapons? That's it? Not even an city but an town as well?)

"!"

GreyHunt suddenly used his horse to leap to the side as an series of explosion that erupted from the ground.

(Land mines?)

"!"

GreyHunt again used his horse run out of the blast that erupted below him, however as soon as he dodged, another explosion occurred, before then another and another, forcing GreyHunt to run away in order not to get blasted.

"…"

(Those are not land mines! Those are remote controlled explosion traps!) – though GreyHunt as he tried changing directions, only to get his path blocked by explosion, with in turn forced him run away again.

(Is somebody aiming at me? The explosions seems to be going off on me.)

(But why-)

While GreyHunt was running on his horse, out of nowhere, an large magic circle appeared right beneath GreyHunt horse hooves, alarming GreyHunt who instantly tried rushing though his own forces in order to get out of the magic circle, but it was too late.

The magic circle activated and moments later an column of light emerged from the circle…. When the light dispersed, so did GreyHunt and all the soldiers that were also catched within the circle. Everybody vanished.

"?!"

"GreyHunt?!" – shouted confused Shri.

"!"

(He is still online on the friend list… So, what the hell happened?!) – though Shri as she checked her friend list in order to see if GreyHunt was alive.

The exact moment later after GreyHunt and soldiers disappeared, an second blast of light had emerged, but this time not on the battlefield, but instead right behind the town.

The light dispersed and the people that had disappeared had found themselves away from the battlefield.

"?!"

(Where- Wait, I'm not alone?!) – though GreyHunt as he looked around.

"!"

"Motherfuckers." – said GreyHunt.

"Sup. GreyHunt!" – shouted Conquest.

GreyHunt alongside the soldiers that got teleported alongside him had found themselves completely surrounded by the ranker guilds that work for the first prince.

"…."

"Teleportation trap, huh?" – said GreyHunt as he got off his demonic horse.

"Welp. I guess I will have to just kill you all in order to rejoin the fight."

(These bastards were aiming at from the start? Motherfuckers. I guess I had become someone that they cannot be allowed to live in their eyes, eh?)

(This fight… It will be definitely annoying.)
