Chapter 44: Two Players Finally Meet.
"I was truly baffled by the effort that Lucius put into his scheme, with it being far more intricate than what a normal player who would focus only on the military side of things like formations and ambushes could come up with."
"But that is something that people would learn about House Aurellion."
"Nothing they do is as it seems. Even the information you get from your spied could be manipulated by them."
"And if one is not careful, what can look like a victory for you."
"Could all be part of one of their long-term schemes."
"While some only last for a battle...."
"Some can last for generations."
Éric Gigot, the player behind Wurgoth and the orcish general who fights against Reginald.
....
"Yes, very impressive. The results speak for themselves. End this charade already."
Wurgoth said, grunting in pain as the adrenaline started to dissipate, making his wounds emit even more pain. It now occurred to the orc that death would not be so bad as at least it would be quick as they were on the battlefield and not an execution stand.
"So you accept your loss? How Impressive! But honestly, I expected a player like you to be interested in why you lost; if not, then this conversation will be much shorter and more boring than expected! See, I even managed to persuade my stubborn subordinates to allow me to meet you in person as a sort of honour thing so we could talk privately and now all you want is death."
