[VRMMO] Dead One

[Current location: Frontlines between elven kingdom and empire.]

"Shit! The hell is going on here!? Where the hell all these undeads came from!?" – shouted the elves soldier protecting a city as horde undeads were attacking the city walls.

"SIR! THE GATE WON'T- "

Suddenly, one by one, elves on top of the wall started getting sniped down.

"…"

"Damn. That Oron guy is really scary." – said the Purple Hyena new recruit.

"Yea… Good thing we are on his side." – said another Purple Hyena new recruit.

"Still, isn't this going way too easy?"

"I mean, I thought elves would put up some fight, but isn't this going way easier?" – asked orc player.

"Yea… This is weird thing." – said the dark elf player.

"I mean, if you think about, isn't this weird."

"Elves have a power up with spirits on these lands, even I'm receiving one right now…. So honestly, all of these soldiers are receiving a buff."

"Not only that, but the closer we get to the World Tree, the stronger the buffs for the spirits are."

"And we had already managed to get this far into their territory."

"This is all because of the ClownFrog plan." – said Oron as he suddenly appeared right behind the players without being noticed.

"AHughdiHN!@?"

"Jezus!"

"Where the hell did you came from!?" – said orc player that was grabbing his chest.

"?"

"His plan?" – asked dark elf player.

"Yeb." – replied Oron.

"The elven forces were split apart because they were chasing around monsters that were running around, causing their security around the kingdom to get weaker and also have harder time noticing what was going on the borders."

"Assassination here and there, sabotage to make it look like it was ClownFrog monster doing, and boom. Perfect smoke screen."

"The city is pretty much good as ours and now our invasion will be able to go at full swing."

"The elven forces will probably try to gather up, but the war is already good as over."

"The elves lost."

[You have received a video call request from the player [ClownFrog].]

"…"

"Continue attacking, I have a call to make." – said Oron before walking away from the players.

"…"

"What is it?" – asked Oron.

["It is done."] – replied ClownFrog.

["The elven city stands in ruins."]

["Most of the soldiers ran away, but I'm still fighting."]

["However, the queen is in my hand and I can except her at any moment."]

["I can also make her way to the World Tree with ease now and burn it down."]

["The war is won."]

"!"

"Huh. Really? I thought you would cause chaos before then disappearing, allowing us to destroy the elves with the empire army."

["I thought the same. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the plan to work so well…. And this isn't even my doing."]

["The elves were way too weak, even with World Tree blessing at full power."]

"?"

"What the hell are you talking about? You said before that you would have hard time beating elves?"

["THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT!"]

["But the things I saw?! It was beyond pathetic!"]

["That queen thought that she could take on the Hell Lord on her own if he were to fight here."]

["But her full power was way too weak…. So was honestly like both holy kingdom and dwarven kingdoms combined when it came down to pride, greed and over confidence."]

["However, there is a problem."]

["The plague that they attacked us with, it wasn't over."]

["These bastards set up plague bombs all throughout the whole continent!"]

"!?"

"Wait, you mean they planned on infesting the whole continent with plague?"

["They are not planning to, their plan is already in motion!"]

["The bombs should be already setting off already in many different part of continent."]

["The elves plan was to have continent be completely destroyed by the plague and war, making us all destroy each other while the elves will go and finish us all of while sweeping all the spoils, taking control of the continent as the its new rulers."]

["Their plan is beyond mad."]

["It will never work, instead they would destroy themselves as well."]

["But they were too prideful to see problem with their plan."]

"…"

"So that is why you haven't burned down the World Tree and killed the queen."

"You are using them as hostages."

["Yes."]

["I want to force the elves to stop setting off the plague…. But by now it must be already spreading."]

["At least I want to reduce as many bombs from being set off… But we have problem."]

["The elves are way too cowardly."]

["They abandoned her queen as when the seed of doubt was placed in them."]

["But they are also too prideful."]

"…"

"Damn. Then this is really problematic."

"A prideful cowards… Those bastards are always the ticking bombs."

"…"

"But we don't really have choice, don't we?"

"If we don't make an announcement and warn everybody about their plans, this could end up problematic."

"…"

["You have permission to spread the news."]

["But first do inspection. Find any possible bombs that were set up in our empire before we make announcement."]

"No problem, I will do it."

[WARNING!]

[The capital city of Palok kingdom had been conquered.]

[The queen of Palok kingdom has been captured.]

[28% of the kingdom has been conquered.]

[A warning had been issued by the Garog empire.]

[Surrender or be eliminated.]

"!?"

"Wait, what?! The capital city?!" – thought confused elven player.

"Hey! What is going on?!" – shouted elven knight.

"What do you mean that the queen was taken hostage alongside the capital city?!"

"How the hell am I supposed to know that?!"

"…"

<<Welp, the sudden news definitely spread chaos all around the empire and elven kingdom, but before long it has also reached other kingdoms ears.>>

<<This obviously caused quiet big chaos, especially among the elves that were still fighting the dwarves.>>

<<However, the next bit of news that spread around was what shocked everybody more.>>

<<The plague bomb plan.>>

<<The Garog empire made public to the entire continent regarding the elven plan of conquest of the continent by spreading the plague around.>>

<<"If you don't surrender and stop your plan, your queen, your kind and your World Tree will be all exterminated.">>

<<Ultimatum.>>

<<This is what was declared by the Garog empire.>>

<<Obviously many people didn't believed us.>>

<<If anything, they just said that it was "OUR" plan.>>

<<…. But our tone of voice made them realize we are not kidding around…. And not only that, the hidden elven forces were started being found here and there…. This caused suspicious to arise.>>

<<Not only that, but those elves fought back, trying to hide something…. And there was also mysterious plague that the Garog empire warned them about that had made their appearance.>>

<<" They were speaking the truth!">>

<<They realized.>>

<<But the elves grown desperate after being exposed.>>

<<Some gave up, trying to beg for mercy…. But others? Their pride would not let them bow down.>>

<<They set off the bombs.>>

<<The plague that only made their presence known recently was now know to everybody.>>

<<And the culprits? Elven kingdom.>>

<<This….. Is beyond shitty.>>

<<We knew that that the elves would not surrender and swallow their "pride".>>

<<We managed to somewhat deal with some of the bombs that were set up in our empire….. But because of the war, there were few bombs we didn't found out…. And the plague would also spread from our "neighbors".>>

<<….>>

<<The chaos…. It is burning even brighter.>>

<<This chaos is way too unstable….. Too dangerous.>>

<<We maybe consider "evil". But this plain chaos? It is just stupid. It is destroying everything.>>

<<….>>

<<So, I will make them fear.>>

<<I've held a public execution of the queen and her loyalist that were captured.>>

"I'VE WARNED YOU! ELVES OF THE PALOK KINGDOM!"

"You have betrayed your own people! Your traditions!"

"All for what?!"

"Fake glory!?"

"You became criminals to your own race!"

"And now your queen will face consequences!"

"…"

"Drop them." – said ClownFrog to the executions as all guiltiness fall down, decapitating each and every elf, including the queen herself.

"The next will be your precious World Tree."

"And after that? All of your people."

"Remember my words."

[The royal family of the Palok kingdom has been extermination.]

[Control over Palok kingdom has weakened.]

[The authority of the World Tree has weakened.]

[Majorie of the higher ups of the Palok kingdom has been slain.]

[Control over Palok kingdom has weakened.]

"…"

<<I thought this would do something.>>

<<I thought this would make elves somewhat surrender…. But no.>>

<<That kingdom is beyond dumb.>>

<<What they said?>>

"WE WILL DIE AS FREE ELVES!"

<<…. "FREE" my ass! You doomed your people with false pride!>>

<<Still, they haven't done anything major yet…. As for the elven kingdom itself? It was shattered.>>

<<Fire and dead slaughtered the elves that tried to fight in the name of their false pride.>>

<<Those who abandoned their people for their "false pride".>>

<<Those who fought for that "false pride".>>

<<Those who betrayed their own kind for the "false pride".>>

<<…>>

<<Ha…. This is pathetic.>>

<<No wonder sometimes bad guys in games and anime were sometimes at first good guys….. If this world is really that rotten, then it wouldn't be wonder if even a saint would snap.>>

<<Just look at the current continent.>>

<<War, war, war, war and even more war.>>

<<I'm bad guy and I should be enjoy the war.>>

<<Hell! If we win this war we could possibly take over the entire continent, becoming one of the biggest nations in the whole game.>>

<<But this war?>>

<<It is just stupid.>>

<<Even as the plague is spreading around, they are still focused on the war.>>

<<They still want to fight.>>

<<They still want to destroy.>>

<<Animals.>>

<<This is the only word I came come up to describe this situation.>>

<<….>>

<<I fucking hate this war.>>
