[VRMMO] Dead One

"So….. How far are they?" – asked ClownFrog.

["Well, they have already managed to make their way to the second ring."] – replied LM while using the [Chat] to communicate with ClownFrog.

["Because of how big their group is, they are being swarmed by undeads nonstop."]

["It is slowing them down, but not stopping them."]

["They are not some common soldiers, even I can tell."]

["They are strong bastards."]

"What about players?"

["Ah…. Well, that is a problem."]

["These people are causing too much noises and people are straight up spotting them."]

["At this rate people may go after them or straight up join them."]

["If that happens, then we will be dealing with a lot of bastards all at once."]

"…"

["Should I take a shot?"]

["We don't need to worry about our image anymore, so I can just try and murder as many players as possible."]

"No."

"You will only end up exposing yourself."

"Remember, Alamin is working for the dragon king."

"The moment you try to pull something, they may find you and kill you."

"Just focus on tracking and reporting, okay?"

["…..Fine."]

["By the way, about the stuff you asked about."]

["There is nothing."]

["Like straight up nothing."]

["Besides not having any colors or special markings, they don't have anything that would show people that they are soldiers."]

["They are straight up pretending to be bandits at this point, while it is clear as day that they are soldiers!"]

["Just who the fuck are they fooling around!?"]

"…"

"Well, they are maybe doing this one on purpose." – said annoyed ClownFrog.

(People will realize they are soldiers of the dragon empire, BUT they won't exactly know from which clan they came from.) – thought ClownFrog.

(If we were to fight them, it could damage our relationship with the dragon empire.)

(And if the dragon clans would point their fingers at one of their, they wouldn't have any solid evidence.)

(Meaning that the dragon king who did it would be left unharmed.)

"…"

"Blueberry, what about your progress?"

["We are trying, but it will still take us sometime to get there. Sorry."] – said Blueberry.

*Sigh*

"So…. Are we really going to fight the dragon empire?" – asked Shri.

"Well…. If I'm being completely honest?" – said ClownFrog.

"I think yes."

"These people are dead set on fighting us."

"But the problem is their goal."

"They are not here to get into the dungeon; they are here only to fight us."

"…"

"They are trying to let players like Alamin to slip by so they can finish the dungeon?" – said Shri.

"Possible... And to make matters worse, they probably now know how to beat the dungeon." – said ClownFrog.

"I mean, would they really do something as stupid as this, a gamble IF they didn't had some means of archiving victory."

"Honestly, I'm also worried about the fact that they are not stopping."

"True, they are not in the final ring yet, but the monster of this place attacks you in the bigger swarms the bigger your group is."

[Group consisting of 1 player would deal with 3 undeads.]

[Group consisting of 2 players would deal with 9 undeads.]

"They pretty much must be dealing with hordes of undeads nonstop, yet they are not stopping?"

"No matter how you look at it, those are not regular soldiers."

"They are elite soldiers."

"And there is also the fact that they may die."

"Like seriously."

"Are they looking down on us? Or are these soldiers just straight up ready to die for the cause?"

"…"

"Jeez." – said Shri.

"They are really dead set on not letting us have our way?"

"By the looks of things? Yes." – replied ClownFrog.

"And this makes the whole thing far more annoying in turn."

(It will take Blueberry still sometime to get.)

(That means we will have to block off the enemy all on our own.)

(But while dealing with them, we will also need to kill every single player that tries to go around us or past us.)

(And right now? This is the hardest problem.)

(People KNOW that we are hiding something.)

(They think we are hiding something like a special dungeon at all cost.)

(Because of Alamin spreading fake news everywhere with the fake account, a lot of people are coming here to either sabotage us OR just try and steal the tomb's treasures.)

(Alamin is dead set on not letting us have anything that is inside of that tomb and whoever is supporting him is just as desperate.)

"…"

(Honestly, these undeads here aren't good materials to make my own undeads….. But even so, I can create my very own army using my own monsters that does requite corpse per say.)

(My army of over 1000 monsters will stand guard and nobody will get past me.)

(It will also definitely scare some of idiots away….. But some others, the greedy ones, would still get in our way.)

(However, it won't stop the army.)

(My title prevents the war to be called on us, but that doesn't mean that ALL hostile actions against us can be stopped.)

(What they are doing isn't a declaration of war, but instead a sabotage or a terrorist attack.)

(They using loop holes in the barrier to attack me... Fuck me…. )

(And even after all of this is over, there will be still all other annoying bullshit that needs to be dealt with.)

"…"

<<The time went by and the army of the dragons did not stopped their march according to LM.>>

<<Not only that, but the number of the players he has been spotting on the Dead Land AND those who were gathering near the group of soldiers started slowly increasing.>>

<<The situation is progressively getting worse.>>

<<And after more time has passed, the soldiers has finally made their way into the final ring.>>

<<And the moment they did, they apparently had formed a short alliance with a specific group of players.>>

<<"Silver Tiger guild".>>

<<Yea, alliance my ass.">>

<<You are already working for the same person.>>

<<Maybe it is about a image?>>

<<They want to make it look like these soldiers CAN work side by side with players?>>

<<Bastards…. They really know what they are doing.>>

<<…>>

<<They were coming.>>

<<They were not stopping or retreating. All of them were coming.>>

<<And before long?>>

<<We were finally able to see those bastards coming.>>

"…"

(There is really a lot of them.) – thought ClownFrog while using [Lost Mist Eye] to observe the group of dragonic soldiers and dragonic monsters slowly approaching the Corpse Sea where a large army of monsters controlled by ClownFrog was being stationing.

(I can also see a lot of players near or away from them... Fucking parasites.)

"Hold the line."

"I need to greet our visitors." – said ClownFrog before taking out a collar like device from his inventory and putting on his neck, fallowed up with him then transforming into his dragon form and then instantly taking into the skies.

"…"

(What the actual fuck is this?) – thought nervous Alamin while using a telescope.

(Dragons, demons, undeads and elementals...)

"…"

"How many?" – asked the dragonewt in heavy armor.

"I don't know….. But there is definitely more than thousands monsters gathered here." – said Alamin.

"If it comes down to battle, it would result in large scale battle."

"Hm…."

(He isn't wrong... I did heard about this new demon lord being a powerful being that can control armies of monsters all on his own….. But this?) – thought the heavy armored dragonewt.

(Not only that, but his own power is also not something to be looked down upon.)

(He did took down the Hell Lord, one of the rulers of Hell.)

(I can already see some of the soldiers instantly getting nervous and scared from just spotting that large army….)

"!"

"STOP!" – shouted the dragonewt as he spotted ClownFrog flying towards the army, alarming all of the people as every single one of them started drawing their weapons, NPCs and players alike.

"HEAR ME!" – shouted ClownFrog as his voice echoed through the entire field.

"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"

"YOU ARE SERVANTS OF THE DRAGON EMPIRE!"

"YOU MAY TRY TO HIDE IT, BUT I KNOW YOU ARE SOLDIERS FROM THAT NATION!"

"AND NO! I'M NOT MAKING SOME STUPID ASSUMPTION BECAUSE ALL OF YOU BEING A DRAGONS!"

"YOU ALREADY EXPOSED YOURSELF BEFORE YOU EVEN SET YOUR FOOT HERE!"

"SO THERE IS NO USE DENNING ANY OF MY CLAIMS!"

"SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ONLY ONE."

"STOP."

"THIS MAYBE A NEUTRAL GROUNDS, A GROUNDS THAT ISN'T OWNED BY ANYBODY, BUT IF YOU DARE EVEN GET CLOSE TO US OR SHOW HOSTILITY, WE WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR EMPIRE WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ENTIRE INCIDENT!"

"SO BACK OFF! UNLESS YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON FOR TRYING TO ATTACK US LIKE THIS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! "

(They maybe pretending to be bandits, but if I expose them like this publicly, people would question the dragon empire.) – thought ClownFrog.

(I didn't said that you are working for the dragon king, but for the empire.)

(If that is the case then-)

"!"

Without even warning, two large dragons rushed towards ClownFrog and unleashed their fire and wind breath attacks at the giant bone dragon.

"…"

"Tch."

And without barely putting any effort, ClownFrog manifested a giant barrier of bones, easily blocking the two dragons full powered attacks.

"…"

"You done?" – asked ClownFrog as he looked down the soldiers below before moments later the two giant dragon rushed at the demon lord, trying to tear him apart, forcing ClownFrog to unleashed [Desert Moon Eye] and [Desert Sun Eye], firing two beams of energy that knocked away two giant dragons in front of everybody eyes.

"ENOUGH!" – shouted ClownFrog.

"I GAVE YOU A CHANCE AT PEACE AND YET YOU- "

Instead of listening to ClownFrog speech, the army of the dragons began attacking ClownFrog all at once, forcing the demon lord to defend himself from the incoming attacks.

"…"

(They don't care?!) – thought alarmed ClownFrog.

(They just don't bloody fucking care?!)

(I did used the voice application microphone device that Blueberry made me, causing my voice to get much louder than before.)

(I've used it to speak from them from the great distance so they wouldn't attack me from get go.)

(And yet they are doing it anyway!?)

(Instead of waiting they prepared to attack me in front of everybody eyes and now are attacking me even after getting exposed!?)

(Is the dragon king that is controlling them just that foolish!?)

(Does he realize what could happened to his empire if he takes that kind of actions?!)

"…"

"Tch."

"You chose this." – said ClownFrog before snapping his fingers.

"!?"

"H-hey! What the fuck!?" – said panicking player.

"Shit! they are coming! ClownFrog monsters are coming!" – shouted the panicking player as the army of monsters began marching towards the army of dragons and players.

"So you have chosen annihilation."

"All of you will die."

"And all of the adventures that are with you shall suffer the same fate if they dare to oppose us."

"I gave you peace, but you chose war."

"If that is your decision, then have fun you motherfuckers."
