Chapter 623 - 624 – Continent of chaos – Part 44.
"STOP THESE CREATURES! STOP THEM! BLOW THEM UP!" – shouted the paladin general, ordering his troops to activate the set up explosives that ended up blowing a huge group of empire soldiers all at once and even caused several buildings around them to collapse, making them all right on top of them, causing everybody who got blasted with explosions to only to get blow up but also get buried alive, which resulted in a huge casulties on the empire side.
"PREPARE THE NEXT CHARGES! WE NEED TO- "
"SIR! THE ENEMY! THEY ARE CLIMBING OVER THE RUBBLES!" -shouted a panicking soldier as the undeads and demi-humans started climbing over the rubble and their fallen comrades.
"FUCK! RETREAT! RETREAT TO THE CENTER!" – shouted panicking paladin general as he started leading his fleeing soldiers, while looking behind himself, seeing the monsters slowly managing to get past the rubble.
(Dammit! We are losing ground way too fast!) – thought the running paladin.
(We are also using traps way too often! They are able to slow them down and also take down a lot of their troops….. But…. Fuck! Necromancers! They are using the undeads as their meat shields!)
(If we don't use them on these expendable fuckers, then we won't have ever chance to use them!)
(No! Calm down! Everything is still proceeding well!)
(They may have broken through our defenses much faster than expected, but we still have a lot of traps set up.)
(Not only that, but the daughter of the heavenly dragon is keeping the enemy flying forces occupied.)
(We also have the dwarven cannons supporting the angels, meaning that we don't have to worry about the enemy attacking us from the skies.)
(But obviously we need more! We need angels here in the city! Supporting us from the skies or we will be fucked!) – thought the general as he arrived at the city center, where a group of priests and mages gathered.
"HOW MUCH LONGER?!" – shouted the general as he ran towards the summoning circle.
"WE ARE ALMOST READY! THE CONNECT WAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED! JUST A FEW MOMENTS- "
However, just as the general and his soldiers were about to reach the summoning circle, a giant meteor dropped out of the skies alongside several rockets that all fell down on top of the magic circle, blowing up and completely devastating the entire area, demolishing the summoning circle itself as well as sending both priest and mages flying…. Or what remained of them.
"…"
"What?" – said the general as he stopped in his tracks, barely managing to stay out of blast radius.
"!"
"GENERAL! THERE!" – shouted the terrified soldier as he pointed at something in the skies, terrifying the general as with hesitation he turned his head around.
"…"
(No…. No! NO! NO! NO!) – thought the terrified general.
"Okay. So, I don't get their plan." – said Blueberry as she flew high above in the air alongside ClownFrog near the city center.
"Are we sure we are not falling for some sort of trick? I mean…. Their plan was to use anti-air cannons and their own flying troops."
"Then they booby trapped the whole city and made it obvious that something was going on in the city center."
"I mean…. Isn't this bit too weird?"
"You know…. Yea… This is straight up way too weird." – replied ClownFrog with a confused expression.
"Hell! Were they fighting like this last time?!"
"NO! HELL NO!" – replied Blueberry.
"Last time they came up with many ways to outsmart us and every single one of them worked!"
"Hell! It feels like I'm fighting somebody else right now!"
"As if the entire difficulty completely changed from "hard" to "peaceful"? Like, isn't this way too big of a change? Hell! That even their "secret weapon", the daughter of the heavenly dragon was shitty like hell!"
"Honestly, I'm confused like hell?"
"….."
"Did I really fucking lose to 'THOSE IDIOTS'!?"
"Did she died for fucking no reason?!"
"…"
"Well, show no mercy." – said ClownFrog.
"I don't know if these guys just reverted back into idiots or if they are planning something, just show no mercy."
"…."
"SLAUGHTER THEM ALL! YOUR EMPEROR COMMANDS YOU!" – shouted ClownFrog on top of his lungs, making sure that all the soldiers within the city could hear him.
"!"
(Wait, what the hell?!) – thought the panicking paladin general as he started seeing his soldiers coming from all sorts of directions through the city.
"WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS DOING! HOLD YOUR LINE!" – shouted the general.
"WE CAN'T! THEY KNOW ABOUT THE TRAPS! THEY ARE DISSARMING- "– the soldier who ran up to the general tried to warn the paladin, only to then get shot down by cyborg red antman soldiers' guns.
The paladin's idea of planting traps throughout the whole city in case of an enemy getting inside was a somewhat brilliant idea.... To him, that sounded that way.
Not only did that plan managed to take down a lot of empire soldiers, but they also made the streets of the city unstable and covered in rubble, making it hard to traverse, buying time for the holy kingdom forces to retreat from their current location…..A good plan, yes, but with a single big flaw.
This strategy is also trapping the holy kingdom's forces more and more.
Not only that, but this only works on the ground troops.
What about the ones that are flying?
"SIR! THE M-MONSTERS! THEY ARE RAINING FROM THE SKIES!" – shouted a panicking soldier as the flying monsters and troops were attacking from above.
(Wait, so it isn't just the demon lord?!) – thought the panicking general, before then noticing undead angel dragons.
"…"
(Aren't those….. Weren't these angel dragons with the daughter of the heavenly dragon?!)
(S-she…. She is dead?!)
"…"
"RETREAT! RETREAT! ABBADON THE CITY!" – shouted the general in fear.
"THE BATTLE IS LOST! I REPEAT! BATTLE IS LOST! RUN AWAY WITH YOUR LIVES!"
"…"
And this was the last mistake made by the general.
True, they were trapping themselves in the city, but the center of the city was their most fortified location in the whole city as well.
Even if the summoning circle that was meant to summon heavenly reinforcements was destroyed, making them lose hope, they could still had used that place as their last line of defense.
But now?
They just abandoned their last location, where they could at least fight back.
Results?
The holy kingdoms ran away like cowards and were now easy targets for the empire troops as they just hunted them down like a game.
The order that the paladin general just gave didn't saved any of his troops…. Nah.
It doomed them all.
They couldn't hide, nor could they run.
Even if they did, they would be found out.
The tips on the scales changed completely the moment the daughter of the heavenly dragon gave in to fear and abandoned her duty, leaving the holy kingdom army to fend for themselves.
And the paladin general? He just finished off the job with his most ridiculous command ever.
Because of their actions, everything started going downhill and it was only just speeding up with ridiculous speed….. And that resulted in an outcome extremely obvious.
The entire army of the holy kingdom?
They were completely exterminated, both quickly and easily.
The empire army has won and the Tail city has once again been conquered by the empire.
"Hey! Did anybody found that fucking general!?" – asked the dark elf player.
"Nah! Slippery fucker must have gotten away, fucker! Did we screwed up?!" – asked a panicking orc player.
"You don't need to worry about this." – said Wretch as he walked up to the pair of players while holding the paladin general sword.
"I got the bastard."
"He tried attacking one of our riders to steal the ride, but we managed to find him in the act and just stabbed him to death... Sheesh. He was even begging for his life and all sorts of stuff as well."
"Huh…. Honestly, I've almost shitted my pants when that guy suddenly blinded us all and ran away…. We thought we screwed up." – said the orc player.
"Nah. You good. There is no problem." – said Wretch.
"Anyway, there could be still some of the holy kingdom forces hiding somewhere."
"Kill them or capture them. Your choice."
"…"
"What the hell do you mean you lost the device?" – asked ClownFrog in his humanoid form as he lifted up the priest by the throat.
"Frog. Please stop." – said Blueberry.
"…"
"Tch." – ClownFrog threw the priest on the ground, before then putting his scythe staff blade right next to the elderly priest's neck.
"I'm going to give you only- "
"IT WAS STOLEN!" – shouted the elderly priest.
"…"
"Explain." – said ClownFrog.
"I…..I….. We don't know…. Nobody does….. It was guarded….. But later on, the guards that were keeping the device protected were all found dead and the device was gone." – said the priest.
"…"
"Okay. Answer my questions for now." – said Blueberry.
"How did you come in possession of this so-called [Silence Man Totem]?"
"It….. It was an adventurer…. Alamin." – said the elderly priest.
(Alamin?) – thought ClownFrog and Blueberry.
"H-he was the one who provided the device and told us how to use it!"
"…"
"Then the next question." – said Blueberry.
"Who are you suspecting to be behind the device disappearance?"
"…"
"Alamin….." – said the elderly priest.
"And you are saying that the same Alamin was the one who came up with the whole original plan of conquering the Tail city as well?" - asked Blueberry.
"Y-yes…. It was his plan." – replied the priest.
"…"
"I have my answers." – said Blueberry.
"Same. Take him away." – said ClownFrog as he had the demi-human soldiers take away the elderly priest.
"…."
"Alamin. Alamin. Alamin. Alamin." – said ClownFrog.
"How the fuck was it all him?"
"The device."
"The plans."
"The strategy."
"Hell! The reason why they all sucked right now was because of me exposing Alamin."
"HE WAS THE REAL GENERAL HERE!"
"Honestly... I wasn't expecting any of this."
"I mean, I did suspect the trap plan and everything, or him being part of being a picture, since he was a noble and "hero" of the holy kingdom….. But still… This guy turned out to be more annoying a tactician than anybody could have thought."
"…"
"You said that you suspected Alamin of having a "ally" of some sort, that did not originated from this continent…. He even admitted himself….. But who do you think they could be?" – asked Blueberry.
"Don't know and don't care right now." – said ClownFrog.
"This continent maybe a giant fucking mess, but if anybody tries to invade this continent in this current state? Yea, things would be hellish for them."
"Maybe they needed Alamin to set up their "Start point" or some shit."
"…"
"Either way."
"We need to finish this war."
"But first things first, let's inform GreyHunt about the situation and give him the green light again."
"I want this kingdom to be conquered before any other fucked up shit pops up."
(There is also the fucking "benefactor" on the board as well…. And who knows what that fucked up bastard will do?)
