[VRMMO] Dead One

[Current location: Dwarven capital city – Castle.]

"Look. I'm saying this over and over again, I straight up don't have any supplies to give you! The castle also has barely anything left." – said the king while holding a conversation with the nobles via communication mirrors.

"If I had any, do you think I would just take away your food and give it to the army? Think for moment you idiots!"

"If you wish to complain, then fucking complain to your own incompetence, since because of you not guardian the farms properly, we had lost our source of food."

"Now piss off!" – said the king before then ending the call.

"…"

*Sigh*

"Fucking bastards…. First they fuck up by letting the plague spread around and then they let our farms be destroyed by elves."

"?"

As the king was about to leave a mirror room, the communication devices on the king suddenly rang, causing the king to take it out and notice that the one calling was one of the generals.

The king attached the communication device to the mirror and answered the call.

"Ah, general….. Wait, who the hell are you?" – asked the king as soon as he realized that the person he was talking to wasn't a general or anybody else in position of power, but instead a common foot soldier.

"…"

"We lost." – said the soldier.

"?"

"What?" – asked the king.

"I SAID WE LOST!" – shouted the soldier as he snapped.

"OUR ENTIRE ARMY! EVERBODY! THEY ARE ALL DEAD!"

"THEY ARE ALL FUCKING DEAD!"

"…"

"W-what do you mean?" – asked visible nervous king upon hearing the news.

"DIDN'T YOU FUCKING HEARD ME!? THEY ALL DEAD!" – shouted the soldier.

"ALL OF THEM!"

"THOSE WHO RAN AWAY ARE NOW GETTING HUNTED DOWN!"

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I'M TELLING YOU THIS BULLSHIT!"

"IT'S ALL OVER ANYWAY!"

"Soldier! Get your act together! Explain yourself! NOW!" – shouted the king.

"…"

"They are coming." – said the soldier.

"Their entire army…. Its coming to our kingdom…. Our own army…. Was turned into undeads…..Hehehehehehhehe."

"There is really no hope left."

*Click*

*Bang*

"…"

The call has ended after the sound of gun firing could be heard.

"…"

"Shit." – said the king covered from the head to toes in sweat.

(There is no way…. Right?)

(I mean, even if the empire has a demon lord and army of the dead, our entire might could not have been destroyed that easily?)

(NO! THIS IS A LIE!)

(EVEN IF THEY DID HAVE WON, THERE IS NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MARCH TOWARDS OUR KINGDOM!)

(THERE IS NO PHYSICAL WAY THIS CAN BE TRUE!)

(Yes! Yes! It is all the trick!)

(That dwarves must had been a traitor all along!)

(They must had stolen the communication device to trick me!)

(Do you think me as a fool!? You bastards?!)

(There is no way your lies will be able to deceive me!)

"…"

The dwarven king did not believed the report of the soldier, thinking that it was nothing more than a trick that was meant to deceive him and the entire dwarven kingdom.

…

But it was not a trick.

And the dwarven king would soon find out, as his soldiers suddenly reported that the empire army had entered his kingdom…. While being accompanied by a legions of undead dwarves.

"…"

"What?" – asked the pale king.

"UNDEADS! THEY ARE EVEYRYWHERE! THEY ARE – NO! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!" – shouted the soldier in fear before moments later a sound of him being torn apart could be heard.

"…"

(No! This isn't right! It was a lie! A LIE! THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO TRICK ME!)

(THEY MUST BE AIMING FOR OUR KINGDOM WHILE OUR MAIN ARMY IS DESTORYING THEM! YES!)

(They are scared and they are planning on tricking me into calling back the army!)

(They are the ones scared!)

(And they thought I would fall for that kind of plain trick!?)

(HA! IN THEIR DREAMS!)

"…"

The king still did not believed his most powerful army was crushed, even as the reports of the empire making their way into the kingdom had no fazed the king at all.

…

But, his behavior would soon change.

The reports of the "fake attacks" were spreading and they were making their way deeper into the kingdom.

And not only that, but the king could no longer contact anybody from the army.

Be it a general or a common soldier.

Nobody was responding.

And that filled the king with dread….. And he came to understanding.

That the reports were not FAKE.

King came to the conclusion that everything was "TRUTH" …. That his most powerful army that should had "destroyed the empire" was obliviated with ease.

And now?

Their armies were marching through the dwarven kingdom…. And they could do nothing about it.

Almost every single soldier that was in the dwarven kingdom was taken away and made to join the army.

Any that were left? A amount of soldiers that were far below recommended number of soldiers needed to defend different territories.

In short, they had no soldiers what so ever.

There was no fight.

There was no residence.

There was no action.

Only marching.

And conquest.

"…"

"Jezus…. I know you said that the dwarven kingdom was pretty much "apocalyptic" like, but isn't this like complete dead? Even our graveyards where undeads are born are livelier." – said Rampage while gazing at the dead scenery.

"Nah….. This is far worse." – said ClownFrog.

"The cities themselves that had at least had some form of "life" are also now somewhat "Dead" or "half-dead"."

"The plague by the looks of things ravaged these already…. Well… "Ravaged" land and the lack of any food made it impossible for the dwarves to recover their strength."

"The elves also poisoned any food that was left, causing people to straight up die, the same way we did to them with our own poisoned food."

"The cities that could once somewhat operate, started slowly dying."

"Even the city that we just had passed by, did not had any defenses…. Nor it had many civilians left, right?"

"…"

"Oh right…. I kind of didn't noticed… I was only paying attention to their defenses." – said Rampage.

"…"

"Em….. But anyway…. What the hell we will be doing with this thing anyway? This land is already good as ours, but a real question what will be using it for?"

"I mean, there is straight up no life here or anything…. Will we just continue using it the same way dwarves did?"

"…"

(True…. Dwarves lands are pretty much…. Useless.)

(I think the only beings that would benefit from this would be undeads or if we take over their factories.)

(But if I'm honest? I don't see much hope here…. Dwarves completely butchered these lands through the years and the results are obvious.)

(They wanted to take the empire, since they had already destroyed their original home.)

"…"

"For now, find that bastard of king of theirs and bring me his head."

The empire army continue marching through the entire dwarven kingdom, conquering its territory without stopping…. Before then finally arriving at capital city of the dwarven kingdom.

The city was desolated and there was barely any soldiers left on top of the walls.

"Shit…. There is just way too many!" – said the panicking soldier as he spotted a horde of undeads coming towards the city.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ACTIVATE THE AUTOMATIC CANNONS!" – shouted the nervous soldier.

"BLAST THEM ALL TO BITS!"

The defenders activated the automatic weapons, arming the giant wall with countless cannons that automatic tracked and fired at the enemies, while also deploying a army of the golems.

…

But neither of those things worked.

The number of the soldiers and golems were too few and they were easily overwhelmed by the empire army, while the cannons were left completely unprotected, allowing empire mages and war machines to just destroy them…. Resulting in the final line of the defense getting destroyed as soon as it was deployed.

And before long the walls themselves were breached, allowing the Garog empire to enter the capital city.

"…"

(Jezus. Even the capital city is in messed up state, eh?) – thought ClownFrog as he looked around, noticing the entire city being covered in trash while those who remained in the city just hid or just stared in blank way, as if the life had escaped their eyes.

"…"

"This is stupid."

Nobody was fighting, nobody was running…. The capital city was as good as dead, even though it still had people inside of it.

The army just walked around and nobody was really paying them really any mind…. The starvation and plague had completely exhausted people minds, making them seem completely lifeless, with some not even carrying if they would die or not.

…

Since nobody was really standing in their way, the Garog empire was able to make their way to the royal castle and just demolish its gates.

And once they got inside, a manhunt started, aiming to find the king of the dwarves…. But it did not lasted long at all.

The king of dwarves just waited for them in his throne room.

"…"

"You." – said the dwarven king as Rampage, Oron and ClownFrog entered the throne room.

"It's all your fault."

"You ruined everything!"

"You destroyed everything!"

"You doomed my people….. And I hope you are happy with it."

"…"

"Heh?"

"Us?!" – said pissed off Rampage.

"You old fart, look around! You destroyed your own kingdom! We did straight up did nothing!"

"You focused only on war to the point you murdered your own lands…. And now you are blaming us?" – asked Oron.

"And here I thought you would say something interesting or "bright", since you decided to stay."

"But nope…. You are just like the elven queen." – said ClownFrog.

"Delusional."

"A false "pride" once again….. This is disgusting."

"Shut the fuck up." – said the dwarven king as he got up from his throne and picked up his axe.

"I'm the king of the motherfucking dwarves."

"And if you think you can talk shit and walk away with my head, then you are very wrong."

"Come at me demon lord!"

"LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT DWARVES ARE MADE OUT OF!"
