Chapter 518 - 519 – Garog Empire.
Few months had passed after the war between the Oin empire and the Garog kingdom.
The Oin empire had been completely destroyed and everything that it was once was had became part of Garog kingdom, resulting in the Garog kingdom becoming the first new empire created and ruled by the players.
However, things weren't really…. Well, they weren't great from get go and we needed to pull a lot of work into managing the kingdom.
Restoration.
Criminal activities.
Rebel forces.
Material resources and human resources.
Territory management.
Resource gathering.
Army management.
Dealing with post war nobles and soldiers.
Assigning new nobles, distributing rewards.
Paper work, paper work, paper work and even more paper work.
….
Yea….. Being an ruler…. And especially the newly crowded emperor of the brand new empire is…. Quiet problematic.
Well, we did managed to somewhat deal with a lot of problems, but there are still…. Well, the empire is right now working, but it still needs a lot of work.
But anyway, here is many things that had happened.
Many of the Oin empire soldiers that had remained after the war had been put into chains, turned into war slaves, this also included many of the nobles that were stripped of their status and were turned into slaves and damn, there was a way more corrupted nobles than I had though.
Speaking of the slaves.
The ex-slaves of Oin empire, especially the ones that were kidnapped and forced to be slaves by the Simon Oin, had decided to stay in the Oin empire, well there was a lot of them that decided to return to their previous nations after the war had ended.
However, monster tribes that had their homes destroyed had decided to stay, becoming the citizens of the Oin empire.
There was also demons who also decided to become Garog empire citizens and there were also the ox man tribe as well as the antmans.
So, yea, we needed to build and change a lot of stuff.
First thing first.
The ex-territory that once belonged to the third prince, Simon, and the territory that was right next to the Bloody Mountains had been transformed, turned into the territory of the monsters where many different monsters tribe lives.
One of most important location that needs to be talked about in that territory would be the city of the slavery.
An city that was once the symbol of the slavery and where many of the monster tribes had died had been completely destroyed and rebuilded into new city.
City of monsters – Moras.
Honestly, I gave the monster tribe choice and I did suggested that they could possible found their own main city on the ruins of the third prince castle, but they decided to instead decided to turn the slavery city into their own one.
Reason?
The third prince castle was place of nightmares. They would rather build their castle on top of the cursed graveyard than that shit hole…. Make sense.
That place maybe was their prison as slaves, but that castle and that city was the place where the deepest corruption of the Oin empire was alongside the nightmares of the humanoid monsters. So, yea, they decided to instead destroy the slavery city and make it their symbol of freedom.
Speaking of the third prince castle, it was pretty much turned into the city of the demons, they wanted that place.
Second territory: The territory of the princess Amelia Oin who was now known as Duchess Amelia Mer.
She was given back her originally territory where mostly people of ex-Oin empire had gathered. This will spark some conflict, but we do need that kind of territory, since we can't just put every single citizens of the Oin empire into chains and make them slaves.
Duchess Amelia is also acting as excellent political figure that we need and needs to be rewarded.
Third territory, the territory of the first prince.
They had been mixed between a lot of different species and not only that, but the oxman tribe had decided to relocate there.
The territory there was much more fitting for them than Bloody Mountains, so yea, about half of their tribe moved there, while the other half decided to stay behind.
Well, oxman tribe will become one of the strongest tribes, but first they need to create an proper home for themselves and they need to grow in numbers.
Fourth territory: The territory of the Erun Oin.
Honestly, this territory was made into mess after the mad knight rampage.
We did managed to stop them after the whole rampage, resulting in the damage being kept minimal…. However, the city where it all had happened? Yea… Honestly, people want and also don't want to be there, since it was symbol of the Erun Oin, the last emperor of the Oin empire and the emperor that was respected by both his people and enemies, but its also the site where the mad knight slaughtered countless people….. So… That place was turned into memorial city, museum and place of judgment.
This was also the place where the empty grave of the Erun Oin was located, he deserved at least this.
His territory was also turned into mix territory, but right now mostly people living there are ex-Oin empire cities and vampires.
So that is what mostly happened to the four territories, but its not all really, since some here, some there territories were changed or were made into something special and stuff, especially an settlements around the seas were changed and stuff.
However, considering how things were as well as that our kingdom needs to work properly, we needed to make few different things.
For example, set up multiple core cities, multiple cities with one main city located right in the middle of the empire.
There was also an problem with the Bloody Mountains…. Well, our current capital city is currently located in it, but this is an great danger zone… So honestly, we were more thinking about changing one city into an new capital city, but honestly we don't know, since there was expenses, time and all sort of other bullshit when it comes to creating an large city project…. But for now we focused on transforming some other major cities, including the capital city of the Oin empire into one of our kingdom main cities. We need those main citizens for the different races and control. Some cities are already good enough and they only need more modification…. So yea, for now we focus on remodeling some cities while also thinking about changing our capital city location.
Next thing, nobles and royalites.
Honestly, I needed to assign a lot of nobles that would be in charge of many things, as well as give many different people an noble status for their hard work.
For example:
-Oxman tribe chieftain – Margrave status.
-Bella – Now know as Bella Kritis – Duke status.
-Red and Green antman chieftains – Margrave status.
-Hera – Now know as Hera Wiedza – Duke status.
-O'a – Now known as O'a Will – Duke status.
-Amelia Mer – Duke status.
-Tail (Player) – Margrave status.
-Wretch (Player) – Margrave status.
-Ampi (Player) – Margrave status.
-Lil (Player) – Margrave status.
Now here comes the core members of the Purple Hyena guild.
Honestly, we wanted to go with the duke status, but Amelia said that it was an bad idea, since they shouldn't have the same rank as the "traitorous princess" ….. Well make sense.
And so, instead all 5 members besides myself were given the rank of the [Archduke].
Well, technically 4.
Blueberry, she was named as the empress of the Oin empire.
I mean, she is my girlfriend and stuff, so you know….
Well, she didn't wanted to become empress, but Rampage did kind of made her accept the deal anyway, and so me and Blueberry were married in the game.
So, yea, Blueberry became the empress while I sat at the throne as the emperor.
There was also a lot of different other nobles as well putting people in charge…. There was also few people that let power get into their head and needed to be somewhat dealt with.
Next was the bandits and wild monsters going on the rampage, but fortunately we were able to give quest.
Yeb.
I can create quest.
I was able to creates ones I had become king and I'm also able to make them as emperor.
The NPCs as well as other figures can also give out quest and the empire itself has an EXP bonus gain for the people working for the empire for now, meaning that the players have now high motivation when it comes to working for us.
There is also this thing. We can produce class books.
Well…. It isn't really easy though. And strong ones does take time to make, so yea…. There are few problems…. But still, we should be able to make many.
Still, we had an ways of motivating the players.
And there are also these guys.
Red Lions and Scarlet Gryphons.
The two guilds that were part of the Oin empire and were also nobles with their own territories.
They lost everything. They noble status, their bases, everything.
Red Lions ended up becoming bandits, but they were quickly crushed over and over to the point they started staying low.
As for the Scarlet Gryphons, they just went and left the Garog kingdom without even fighting back.
The merceries, the ranker guilds that were hired were kicked out and they left, but they also were given some negative relationship bonus.
By the way, I also never heard about the Harem Fucker or his harem.
I knew that they were in the war, but I never heard of them doing anything big, with is weird.
I mean, I did kind of forgotten about him, but then again, I though he would make himself known or something, but nope. Nothing…. Weird. Did he lost his shine?
Oh!
There was one thing that needs to be said.
And it's that girl.
"Sup. Let me join your guild." – said Lilium.
"…"
"Why are you here?" – said ClownFrog who was in his office.
"Well, as I said, I want to join your guild." – replied Lilium.
(She suddenly appeared out of a blue, approached Litle Manica and asked to join our guild?)
(Honestly I was bit confused when I heard that she wanted to join us.)
(I mean, she was the second strongest member of the Red Lion guild and she made her presence known with her fire magic. She stood out a lot.)
"…"
"Okay. First thing first."
"What about your guild?"
"I left them already." – replied Lilium.
"Honestly, I was dead tired with these guys to the point I couldn't handle it anymore. Conquest even tried to instantly kill me as soon as I left, he was that pissed off."
"I was wondering what to do after leaving the guild, but then I decided to try and see my luck with you guys."
"But I wasn't expecting for you to personally call me out and have guards escort me to you."
"…."
"You do realize that after losing the war, Conquest decided to become bandit slash terrorist, right? And you WERE part of the bandit guild, RIGHT?" – said ClownFrog.
"Honestly speaking, you are currently wanted criminal, if you haven't forgotten."
"Not only that, but you were once member of the guild that were part of the hostile faction, an enemy of the Garog empire."
"So you know…. You are definitely not the "most innocent" and "trust worthy" recruits, if you get what I mean."
"…. Welp, it does make sense." – said Lilium.
"But here is the thing. I left the guild as soon as we lost the war, so I wasn't really an terrorist, since I didn't took part in Conquest childish outburst, right?"
"…"
"So, like what? Do I need to prove myself or something?"
"…"
"Well, it depends." – said ClownFrog.
(Honestly, we do need to recruit more people to our kingdom and I'm talking here about the players. We need those kind of people as symbols and for some other stuff.)
(Lilium is quiet known ranker, but she was also once part of Red Lion guild.)
(And she also just walked in and asked if she could just join? After her entire guild got fucked and lost everything?)
(Honestly, this does smells like an scam. I mean: "Get inside enemy guild and wreck them from inside" kind of plan?)
(So, the problem is the "trust" and right now? Her background is doing her quiet harm.)
"…"
(Should I just blast her and kill her on the spot? Honestly I have all right to do it and nobody can complain about it.)
(But then again…. Having an known ranker like her join us would be an good thing….. But once again, "TRUST".)
(How do we deal with this big problem?)
(Should I ask about the Forgotten Fragment that the Red Lion guild had conquered? But if she is just an spy then it could possibly reveal my cards to the enemy.)
"…"
"Do you know where your ex-guild members are?"
"Nope. They cut me off completely after I left the guild. Probably Conquest doing." – replied Lilum.
"What? You wanted to go an murder my own ex-guild members to prove myself?"
"Well, I though about it, but it also bad idea, since they can just let you kill them." – said ClownFrog.
"…"
"Hm…."
*Knock* *Knock*
"?"
"Hey, its me. I have something to report." – said GreyHunt voice behind the door.
"!"
"Oh! Enter!" – replied ClownFrog with an smile.
"…"
"Okay. So, I have the thing you…..?" – GreyHunt entered the room and noticed Lilium in the room.
"…"
"What is she doing here?"
"Well, she wants to join our guild and stuff…. But I don't really know if I should accept her or not." – replied ClownFrog.
"So how about this instead?"
"You test her and see if she should join our guild or not."
