Chapter 605 - 606 – Continent of chaos – Part 26.
<<Okay. So, there is a shit ton of things going on right now that makes…. Well, makes things chaotic.>>
<<So I will be giving a nutshell version.>>
<<Current here is the situation.>>
<<Us, the empire and the holy kingdom both launched their own invasion on the beastmen kingdom, thinking that we need to get rid of them first. I've captured some soldiers from the holy kingdom and found out that apparently they didn't knew that we had the same plan…. Probably by now they found out the same thing on their end.>>
<<Anyway, the beastmen kingdom pretty much got wrecked way too easily and they were losing each day, losing their territory and soldiers left and right.>>
<<Pretty much, they could not handle us.>>
<<Then here came the general Axe and some other beastmen higher ups, saying that they want to side with the empire.>>
<<Honestly, I've should had said "No" just like to those corrupted nobles from that one kingdom…. But the situation is way different.>>
<<These guys just wants to survive while also wanting to get rid of their king that they had completely any form of faith or trust in.>>
<<Their king is hiding secrets AND he allied himself with the "benefactor", which is obviously extremely bad news.>>
<<The deal is favorable to us in more than one ways….. And so, I've agreed and signed the bounding contract.>>
<<Now the beastmen nation is rebelling against their king and their army is joining our side.>>
<<But…. Em… The king went completely nuts? He straight up ordered to hunt his own soldiers that switched sides and turn them into "benefactor" monsters.>>
<<This pretty much caused the entire kingdom to now see the king as their enemy.>>
<<So yea…. Nice.>>
<<But there is also the holy kingdom.>>
<<Their support of the heavens we thought that it would not be enough to change anything in this war was completely incorrect.>>
<<The army that they had obtained was more than doubled of what we had expected AND they are keep receiving support.>>
<<Not only that, but out of a blue recently they had obtained a support of a bastard they did not wanted to have anything with.>>
<<The heavenly dragon god.>>
<<The holy kingdom is using the angel dragons.>>
<<I don't know what they did or what kind of deals were made, but here we are.>>
<<Honestly speaking, I should not be worried or anything, since pretty much we have a half death nation and one to deal with….. But things aren't simple.>>
<<The war lasted for months.>>
<<And we have been fighting non stop without rest.>>
<<Then there was also the plague, which spread fear and chaos…. And currently is the end of Autum. Soon winter will come…. This is bad.>>
<<The empire is in extremely bad state AND we had obtained a large amount of territory from this war… If I'm being honest, things are not looking good at all for us.>>
<<The holy kingdom will use that fact for their own advantage, which will make dealing with these bastards way harder than anybody could had predicted.>>
<<And there is one more problem…. The army that is invading the beastmen? It is their main whole army.>>
<<They are not holding back.>>
<<Their goal is to eliminate both beastmen AND our main army, or at least damage it enough to the point it could not operate correctly.>>
<<Simple put, they want to strike two birds with one stone, they even pulled their forces on standby to join that battle.>>
<<Obviously that means their own kingdom is pretty much wide open…. But again, we cannot exactly leave the beastmen kingdom, since A: They will definitely get exterminated.>>
<<And B: They are grinding against us non stop and splitting our troops now would give them opening.>>
<<We are already splitting our troops in order to provide the revolution the support their need to take down the traitor beastmen king…. So, until they deal with him, we won't be able to split anymore.>>
<<And there are also players…. Oh boy.>>
<<Many players are working for us and they are receiving quest from us, I can issue quest after becoming the king.>>
<<The ones who lost their kingdoms decided to switch side, joining us….. Or the holy kingdom.>>
<<And a lot of them did ended up siding with the holy kingdom.>>
<<There are many obvious reasons… But fuck me… Things can't get any worse.>>
"Your majesty! The scouts just reported in! A large group of holy kingdom soldiers has been spotted." – said the vampire soldier that ran towards ClownFrog who was looking around the conquer city streets.
"They are planning massive invasion from behind! They suddenly appeared from the elven kingdom! "
"…"
"What do you mean they appeared from the elven kingdom?" – asked ClownFrog.
"We don't know! Their forces suddenly appeared right on the boarders between the beastmen and the elven nations!"
"They are currently heading straight towards us."
"…"
"Okay. I would like you stop right there and take off your helmet." – said ClownFrog as he approached the knight and stood right in front of him.
"?"
"Eh?" – the vampire soldier stared confused.
"I've said. Take off your helmet and state your name. Now." – said ClownFrog.
"Or do you want me to do it for you?"
"Y-your majesty? What are you talking about?" – asked confused soldier.
"Just simple thing." – replied ClownFrog calmly.
"If not, then answer me this simple question instead."
"Why are you wearing the vampire tribe armor while being just a human?"
"…"
The soldier suddenly tried grabbing his sword, only for ClownFrog to blew off the head off with earth magic.
"!?"
"What the fuck dude!?" – shouted Wretch.
"Calm down you idiots." – said ClownFrog as he raised up the corpse as zombie and restored their body, revealing a human face.
"It was another of the holy kingdom tricks. Look, at him. This ain't vampire, it's a human."
"This isn't the first time they did it either."
"I mean, a random soldier that does not work directly under me approaches me, the emperor and stuff?"
"Do you know how many times these guys tried to assassinate us all? They are not tired with those assassination attempts of theirs There were even incidents that involved their soldiers pretending to be ours by wearing our armors."
"They even once tried to burn our supplies or set up bombs as well."
"But aren't we doing the same thing?" – asked Wretch.
"Well, yea, but we came up with this first and our attempts are working and stuff." – replied ClownFrog.
"Em…. By the way…. Shouldn't we had captured him instead of killing him? I mean, spies and everything." – said Wretch.
"Nah. These bastards are full our fanatics and stuff." – said ClownFrog.
"Some of them are cowards, but some others are self-destructive and stuff."
"Didn't you learned that already?"
"Hm…. True…. Anyway, how did you knew that the guy wasn't a vampire?"
"…"
"Dude… Low rank vampires have bright red eyes as well as beastly pupils and he was also wearing regular soldier armor." – said ClownFrog.
"If he was a mid or high rank vampires then lack of red eyes would make sense, since their eyes color change…. But a guy with normal green eyes wearing vampire armor? Hell, his pupils were also normal."
"And our current army with us are mostly vampires and demi-human monsters."
"We have the human soldiers as well, but they have their own armor version…. So, I really did not needed any skills or what so ever to tell."
"…"
"Oh…. Yea….. That does make sense?" – said Wretch.
"Of fucking course it makes god damned sense, you idiot… Or maybe that guy was idiot? I mean, why pretend to be vampire soldier when you can just pretend to be a human soldier?….. Anyway, you." – said ClownFrog as he pointed at the passing by vampire knight.
"What is the meaning of this? How did the holy kingdom church got inside the city we took over?"
"I've gave order to search around the entire city to look for any survivors belonging to the church."
"Relay a order, check low ranking vampires now. There may be more imposters hiding among our ranks, got it?"
"Yes your imperial majesty." – said the vampire knight who tried to run around, only to then suddenly stop as he spotted somebody running.
"YOUR MAJEST!" – shouted the vampire general as she rushed towards ClownFrog.
"What is it Arias?" – asked ClownFrog as he turned around.
"We have problem. A large unknown army suddenly emerged near one of our supply lines and are marching straight towards it."
"?"
"Unknown army? What are you talking about?" – asked Wretch.
"Who exactly is attacking?"
"We don't know." – said general Arias.
"…"
"Explain." – said ClownFrog.
"According to the scouts, the army that was spotted was made out of golems. There is an entire legion of unknown golems just wondering around."
"…"
"Are they church soldiers?" – asked ClownFrog.
"No. We couldn't confirm it." – said the vampire general.
"There were earth golems as well as man made monsters such as gargoyle as well as golem knights. However, there were no symbols or anything indicating that they belong to the holy kingdom army."
"Eh? It is obvious that is holy kingdom!" – said Wretch.
"Right?"
"…"
"How can we be sure of that?" – asked ClownFrog.
"?"
"I mean…. Logically, they are the closest, right? There is really nothing to think about."
"And the beastmen could never do it, since they are... Wait."
"…"
"Oh…. Fuck."
"?"
"Wretch? Is something wrong?" – asked vampire general Arias with confused look.
"…"
"Benefactor."
"Yeb… Thought the same thing." – said ClownFrog.
(The one being that is know for making army suddenly appear out of thin air…. Would be the "benefactor".)
(He did it once before with the army of undeads where he could suddenly make a army appear out of a blue, without either the Oin empire or us noticing priory any attempts at summoning or necromancy…. They used some sort of trick back…..And since we know that they can do it….)
(There is also the fact that they are working with beastmen….)
(We have many supply lines, so losing one or two isn't a big deal for us…. Hell, we could probably ignore this problem or just send small army to eliminate those unknown golems…. But can we really ignore that unknown army?)
(If those are really "benefactor" golems, then I doubt that they are anything but "normal" …)
"…"
"We need to investigate it."
"Something smells foul about it."
"Call Oron."
"I will got with him to find out what the hell are they planning."
