Chapter 654 - 655 – Stalling – Part 2.
<<Honestly…. I don't like this plan.>>
<<I mean, it maybe MINE plan, the one I've came up with, but I really don't like it.>>
<<This plan definitely would have some annoying problems along the way AND after the plan was completed….. But honestly speaking? There is really no other way.>>
<<And as I've expected…. There were few onlookers that I've spotted with my skills or with familiars.>>
<<Obviously the entire area near the 'Corpse Sea' is consider a safe zone, unless you straight up gets way too close to it, then you get both {Poison} and {Curse} statuses that could kill you.>>
<<Honestly, the real annoying part is more about who these people were.>>
<<The final ring of the Dead Land isn't something a weaklings can just wander around in.>>
<<All the players that must had spotted me must be quiet high level players that are either part of some big guilds or somebody with some "voice".>>
<<This will be annoying like hell.>>
<<News will spread and people will start gathering up.>>
<<There is also question about the dragon king, the hostile one.>>
<<What will they do?>>
<<Will they show their faces to the public by attacking me here and now?>>
<<Or will they just stay quiet?>>
<<Honestly, it would be preferable to just stay quiet….. But then again, the dragon king that wants a alliance with me is desperate like fuck, but what about the hostile dragon king? How desperate are they?>>
<<We will see.>>
<<Anyway, everybody who has died in the dungeon has already respawned back and regrouped with me….. As for annoyance?>>
<<Well, more people has started showing up here and there…. They are looking around…. Before long, we may end up having to fight some groups of players.>>
<<But we still haven't seen Silver Tiger guild.>>
<<Are they hiding?>>
<<Or have they completed the dungeon?>>
<<I've went into the dungeon few times for a moment and saw it still functioning…. But I don't know if it is a onetime dungeon that will shut down after it is completed or not.>>
<<So, I've had LM look around.>>
<<He maybe not good as GreyHunt or Oron when it comes to scouting sneakily, but he is still way better than any average player.>>
<<LM went around, trying to find even a single player belonging to the Silver Tiger guild.>>
<<At first, he found no traces whatsoever…. Possible hinting that they are no longer here….. But then, he found one.>>
<<The female knight player that was spotted by Litle Maniac.>>
<<The one that matches description of the one of Alamin party members.>>
<<Litle Maniac managed to fallow her a bit and spot the female priest, another member that matched description of the Silver Tiger guild member list.>>
<<They are still here.>>
<<Why?>>
<<There is only one explanation.>>
<<They didn't finished the dungeon.>>
<<LM found their location being some sort of abandoned tower….. We could possibly go there and try and exterminate these bastards…. But I'm stuck.>>
<<I can't move.>>
<<I need to defend this place and block off any access.>>
<<Anyway, the days went by.>>
<<The reinforcements I already heading this way….. But there is problem.>>
<<People has started gathering.>>
<<It is obvious what they will try to do.>>
<<I guess we will be fighting players.>>
<<And we really did.>>
<<It did not took long for them to try and sneak by, forcing us to fight and eliminate any players that tried getting to the Corpse Sea.>>
<<Obviously this was a stupid decision.>>
<<I mean, you need to know where the temple entrance is located AND you either need ability to fly above the lake and hit the middle while also needing a powerful barrier to protect yourself from the Corpse Sea debuffs. And if you don't have any flying skills or monsters, you have to have even stronger barrier.>>
<<So yea, killing players that tried to sneak by was a completely stupid decision.>>
<<But here is a problem.>>
<<We don't know who else is working with Alamin or the hostile dragon king.>>
<<Maybe some of the players that tried to sneak by weren't just some randoms but instead a backup?>>
<<Call me paranoid or whatever, but taking that kind of chances are out of question.>>
<<However, this in the end caused another problem to occur.>>
<<"What is Purple Hyena hiding?">>
<<"ClownFrog spotted in the Dead Land?">>
<<"Dead Land being taken over by Garog empire?">>
<<"Why are they protecting this stupid piece of land? There is nothing in there but poisons lake.">>
<<People started asking questions and before long, the news also somewhat spread online.>>
<<So yea….. There was a big problem... AND THERE IS THIS FUCKER!>>
<<" Purple Hyena is trying to get their hands on the Lich Lord legacy – Possible a legendary or rare legendary class.">>
<<SILVER TIGER GUILD!>>
<<THOSE BASTARD REVEALED THE SECRET TO THE PUBLIC!>>
<<Obviously they used fake account, but it is so obvious it is them!>>
<<Fuck! I wasn't expecting them to be this desperate!>>
<<Obviously this also confirming even more that the dungeon wasn't conquered yet, but still!>>
<<We are in deep shit.>>
<<Like I mean it.>>
<<Because now we have even more encounters with the fucking players, trying to sneak by or just straight up attacking us.>>
<<And as the time would go by? More players would show up, making this entire place far more chaotic.>>
<<…>>
<<Honestly speaking, people knows what happens if they cross me.>>
<<I've already showed what happened to all the players that tried opposing me.>>
<<They were eliminated and made to suffer.>>
<<So either people that are trying to oppose are either idiots or bastards that want to get their hands on the Lich Lord's treasure.>>
<<We honestly still don't bloody knows what is inside of there…. But does the hostile dragon king knows?>>
<<They are trying their best for us to not get whatever is inside of that tomb….>>
<<….>>
<<All I know is that this incident will have a huge and annoying impact….>>
<<Honestly, it would be nice if we would have only players to worry about….. That is what I hoped.>>
"How long until you get here?" – asked ClownFrog while using [Chat].
["We are trying to get here as soon as possible…. But honestly speaking, the situation looked bit chaotic to say the least."] – replied Blueberry.
["By the looks of things this kingdom is aware of you being in the Dead Land."]
["I don't know if they are scared or not, but some people are saying that there some soldiers moving around and stuff."]
["I don't know if those rumors are reliable or not, since well…. You are quiet famous and feared."]
"Yea….. Make sense…. Honestly, I didn't considered the fact about some kingdom that are located near Dead Land to react in some way….." – replied ClownFrog with tired voice.
(I guess we need to prepare just in case having to deal with some kingdoms.)
["Anyway, once we get to the neutral grounds, we should be able to rush straight towards your location."]
["But what about you? How are the things going on?"]
"Honestly? Not good."
"Players are attacking us non stop or trying to sneak by."
"Pretty much we are dealing with some random annoyance."
"I can leave my army of monsters here even when I log off, thanks to my skills allowing me to keep my summons operational even without me present."
"But obviously some stronger player started showing up, with some apparently lesser known guilds also making their appearance…"
*Sigh*
"And there is also the Harem Fucker."
"He hasn't made any attempts yet, but we know he is still in the Dead Lands, he must be planning something…. But what exactly is still unknown."
"The only positive thing about the situation is that the undeads are somewhat helping us."
"They are not getting anywhere near Corpse Sea, but because of the players continuously trying to get in our way, the undeads have somewhat gathered near the boarders of the safe zone, making it hard to the players to somewhat get even to our location in the first place."
"But- "
[Player: Litle Maniac is request video chat.]
"…"
"Please wait a moment." – said ClownFrog as he opened up the second video chat.
"What is it LM?"
["OKAY! SO, WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A BIG PROBLEM!"] – said LM with voice filled to the brim with panic.
"?"
"What is it?" – asked alarmed ClownFrog.
["Dragons!"] – said LM.
["Dragons has appeared in the Dead Land!"]
["And I'm not talking about some random ass dragons, but dragons and soldiers!"]
["Dragon humans, dragonewts and so on! There are also wyverns and so on!"]
"!?"
"Wait, are you saying that the dragon empire is here!?"
["Well, that what it fucking looks like!"]
["But I can't tell who are they."]
["There is no markings or symbols on either armors or on the large monster dragons."]
"…"
"Shit."
"Blueberry! You need to get here as soon as possible!"
"Once you get to the neutral grounds, go full speed!"
"The dragon empire is here!"
"I fucking repeat!"
"These bastards showed themselves!"
(But why!?) – thought alarmed ClownFrog.
(Do they realize what kind of consequences they would suffer if they do that!?)
(Maybe they do but they don't care!?)
(Are they just that desperate to not let alliance be formed!?)
(Or maybe they just don't want me to get whatever is inside of that tomb?)
"…"
(Either way…. Things went from "bad" to "worse" instantly…..)
(I guess I should get ready in case I really have to fight the dragon empire's army.)
