[VRMMO] Dead One

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

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THEY WON'T HAND OVER THE FOOD?!" – shouted the furious dwarven king.

"S-sir. The merchants are straight up saying "No", no matter the what we do." – said dwarven soldier.

"Not only that, but it appears they are stocking up on any food they can find and they are also now hiring mercenaries."

"By the looks of things, they are maybe planning on- "

"Kill them." – said the king.

"FUCKING KILL ALL OF THOSE GREEDY BASTARDS AND TAKE THEIR FOOD AWAY FROM THEM!"

"THOSE BASTARD TRIED TO DO BUSSINESS WHILE WE ARE STARVING?! FUCKING KILL THEM AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT WORKS WITH THEM!"

"…"

"What about Marquess Draven?"

"…He…. He is refusing to give the food supplies he had been hoarding…. He said he will give them, if we pay for- "

"I'm taking away his title as noble and I'm declaring him a traitor to the kingdom." – said the king before the soldier could finish speaking.

"Take away all of the food supplies he had been hoarding and distribute them."

(Dammit! This is the wors!)

(Those elves knew that we had problem with our food shortages and they intentionally aimed to destroy any supplies we had.)

(They killed farmers and burned down farms while also poisoning our own food supplies as well as spreading the plague around.)

"…"

"My king." – said the dwarf with black beard.

"We need attack the empire."

"!?"

"What the hell are you idiot talking about?! We need to focus on our own kingdom then waging a war!" – said the white bearded dwarf.

"You are the fool here! We don't much food left in our kingdom!" - said the black bearded dwarf.

"We need to plunder food from the empire if we wish to feed our kingdoms!"

"…"

"He is right." – said the dwarf with eyepatch.

"At this rate our kingdom will collapse from starvation."

"We need to secure food source immediately."

"And the only way to do it would be to attack the empire and steal their food."

"This isn't matter of "deciding" or anything like that, since we don't really have any choice."

"Hm….. You are right… We really don't have any option." – said the dwarf short beard.

"Then should we attack the elven kingdom? It was just conquered by the Garog empire, but considering the current state of that territory…. Alongside the fact the elves are…. Well, they are "Elves", the defenses there could be quiet weak at the moment."

"Nah. Not worth it." – said the black bearded dwarf.

"The territory there must had already been plundered by the empire, so the amount of food supplies we would had found there wouldn't be enough."

"Not only that, but that territory is now part of the empire."

"We could try and conquer the elven kingdom territory and then launch attack from it."

"But this could be a very well a trap." – said the dwarf with eye patch.

"Not only that, but moving around troops does uses up supplies and with our current lack of it, conquering of the elven kingdom would just murder us instead."

"…"

"That means we will have to attack Garog empire directly." – said the dwarven king.

"…"

*Sigh*

"I guess this is really only way."

"Prepare all of our soldiers."

"And by all I mean "every single one"."

"From all corners of the kingdom I want every single soldier, every single golem and just anything that can fight."

"We are going to send ever single soldier we have left."

"I'm not taking any chances."

"If we don't win that next battle, then we may really be facing extinction crisis."

[Sometime later after the meeting between the higher ups of Garog empire - ClownFrog side.]

"Sir, the scouts and spies are reporting in." – said the vampire knight.

"The dwarven soldiers that were reported to be on move are not stopping at all."

"They are really planning on attacking the empire with every single troop they have."

"…"

"Did you found out where they will attack?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yes sir." – replied vampire.

"They are planning on attacking the empire directly."

"Tch."

"Knew it." – said annoyed ClownFrog.

"…"

"Relay the order."

"Proceed with the original plan."

"I will also call forth the reinforcements to assist us."

"Although I'm saying "reinforcements", things aren't really looking goof for us in that matter."

(Even though we had deal with 3/6 enemies, the remaining forces from the said 3 "fallen" kingdoms are still going on the rampage, with some even becoming bandits.)

(Not only that, but the holy kingdom got way bigger reinforcements that we could had ever imagined.)

(And on top of it, they got several high ranking angels also joining the fight.)

(There are also beastmen trying to do something…. Pretty much, our forces are scattered.)

(Not only that, but add the terrorist elves and their plague and pretty much we are running out of soldiers.)

(We do have a large number of undeads thanks to the elves being idiots, but…..)

"…"

"Welp, I guess we will have to play it dirty."

<<The time went by and the dwarven kingdom had assembled their army.>>

<<Every single soldier and golem they had, even some tamed beast were all deployed.>>

<<This is the biggest army yet they had assembled…. There is no way we will be able to deny access to the empire if they are coming with us with THAT massive army….. But there was a problem.>>

<<The plague and poison attacks ravaged people bodies as well as their minds.>>

<<Not only that, but they were lacking enough supplies to feed their entire army, to the point they decided to steal from their own citizens in order to feed their forces.>>

<<Some people also joined the army in order to "eat" something.>>

<<In short, a extremely massive army armed to the teeth that is also at the same time starving to death.>>

<<Not only that, but moving such large army would also devour their resources at monster like rate….. So here is their plan.>>

<<They want to invade the empire and scavenge every single thing they can find to feed their forces and then make them go deeper and deeper.>>

<<Pretty much, they want to turn every single bit of conquered empire territory into desolated land in order to harvest even tiniest bit of food possible.>>

<<And obviously we couldn't have that…. So, we went with dirty tactic.>>

"?!"

"THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" – shouted the dwarf with eyepatch.

"Why the hell all of you stopped moving?!"

"Sir! The roads! They all have been demolished!" – said the dwarven soldier.

"All the paths were completely sealed off and not only that, they were booby trapped!"

"We have also found our missing soldiers!"

"They were all killed and turned into undeads!"

"?!"

"What!? What the hell are you talking about!?" – shouted furious general.

<<Dirty tactic.>>

<<Pretty much, delay them as much as possible.>>

<<Before the dwarves attacked us, we attacked them first.>>

<<All soldiers that were separated.>>

<<We killed them and used necromancy to raise them as undeads.>>

<<All the roads they had.>>

<<They were pretty much destroyed and filled out with some random nasty stuff.>>

<<We even destroyed some of their bridges as well as underground paths with the help of antmen.>>

<<Pretty much, we cut them off.>>

<<Obviously they can deal with undeads and they can repair all the damages we had did pretty quickly, since they are dwarves.>>

<<….But it would waste time and energy, both things they cannot waste at any cost.>>

<<And here is a bit of trivia.>>

<<When it comes to the dwarf race, they posses high natural defense and physical strength.>>

<<But they use up way more energy, meaning they need to eat way more often.>>

<<HOWEVER! The dwarves posses a nice ability that allows them to store way more energy in their body, meaning that they can a lot of food all at once, allowing them to survive without eating for quite some time, because of this the dwarves can work nonstop for hours since they have an energy to spend.>>

<<But here is a problem.>>

<<The dwarven kingdom was already starving when the war had started and that saved up energy they had? They had already used it up.>>

<<In short, they need a LOT of food to feed their entire army.>>

<<So, that "dirty tactic" revolves around them being stalled as long as possible by a random bullshit to the point where their entire army would just starve to death.>>

<<And it was working.>>

<<The dwarves dealt with the random attacks done by our agents and the undeads, while also repairing the road, allowing their armies to advance…..>>

<<…>>

<<BUT OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD KEEP PLAYING DIRTY!>>

"?"

"What is that?"

"?!"

"DEMON LORD! DEMON LORD APPERED!" – shouted the dwarven soldier before then getting blasted with the breath attack alongside other dwarves, causing mass casualties.

"SHIT! TAKE HIM DOWN! TAKE HIM DOWN!" – shouted the dwarven general with eyepatch.

"GENERAL! A ARMY OF UNDEADS HAD ALSO APPERED! THEY ARE COMING OUR WAY!" – shouted the dwarven soldier.

"THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? KILL THEM ALREADY! KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS!"

<<And so, the battle started between me and the dwarves….. The fight lasted for some time, but in the end I decided to retreat.>>

"COME BACK YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" – shouted the general as he saw ClownFrog flying away.

"FUCKING COWARD! DID YOU ONLY CAME HERE TO MOCK US?! HUH?!"

"…"

"Son of a bitch."

"He came and ran away."

"What the hell was this about…."

"GENERAL! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" – shouted the dwarven rider as he approached the general.

"!"

"More enemies?" – asked general.

"NO!" – said the sweating dwarf.

"The road ahead! It was destroyed!"

"All of the roads leading to the empire had been completely wrecked!"

"Just like before!"

"…"

"What?" – said the dwarven general with doomed expression.

"…"

(That bastard... THAT FUCKING BASTARD!)

(HE PLANS TO DELAY US TO THE POINT WHERE WE JUST STARV TO DEATH?!)
