[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor-Chapter 256 - 255 - Akaramaria kingdom VS Ariona church – Part 12.
[Current location: Church headquarters – Underground.]
"How are the preparations for the holy vessel progressing?" – asked pope.
"…."
"N-not good sir…." – said the alchemist working on the giant tube.
"We…. The creation process of the holy vessel took years and the Rose Tower- "
"TELL ME. HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO MAKE IT?" – asked the pope.
"…. Few years." – said alchemist.
"…."
"What did you just said?" – asked the pope.
"…. F-few years…." – replied scared alchemist.
"…."
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN FEW YEARS!" – shouted the pope while slapping the alchemist across his face.
"I GAVE YOU THE BEST MATERIALS! GAVE YOU UNLIMITED FUNDS! AND YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS FEW YEARS?!" – shouted the pope while consciously punching and slapping the alchemist, beating him up to the point pope arms were covered in blood.
"…."
*Sigh*
"The hell is going on?" – asked bloodthirsty pope while letting go of the unconscious alchemist body.
"I want an answer, NOW!"
"…"
"Sir…. I-its just impossible." – said another scared alchemist.
"Even though we have the crafting methods and everything, this place wasn't build specifically to create the holy vessel, unlike the Rose Tower."
"Not only that, but the Rose Tower was an perfect location for any form of alchemy creation."
"And here? We started from the scratch."
"Even setting up the necessary laboratory took us a lot of researches and time."
"AND!? HOW THE HELL THAT EXPLAINS WHY THE HELL YOU CAN'T MAKE THE HOLY VESSEL NOW?!" – asked furious pope.
"IT JUST DONSN'T WORK THAT WAY!" – shouted the alchemist.
"If we rush it, we will end up creating an completely unstable body, that won't- "
"Do it." – said the pope.
"…E-excuse me?" – said confused alchemist.
"I said do it." – said the pope.
"I don't care if it would be unstable or not. The goodness herself wishes for it. She wants that body for her daughter, NOW!"
"So, you are either making that body now, or you wish to get torched with the holy fire?"
"!"
"W-we will do as you say." – said panicking alchemist.
"…"
"Tch."
The pope walked out of the laboratory alongside his two guards.
"…"
"How is the situation on the frontlines?" – asked the pope.
"…. Not good sir." – said the guard.
"The kingdom found out about our underground temples and they…. They are also purged a lot of high ranking officers within the kingdom that were working for us."
"…."
"What?" – said pope.
"I'm sorry, but…. The fuck did you just said?"
"…."
"…."
*Sigh*
"Where is that bastard general Akran?" – asked angry pope.
[Few moments later.]
"I want an FUKING reason… An solid FUKING reason why the hell the reports states that the underground temples and the spies we had are getting discovered left and right."
"I left you in charge while I focused on dealing with the holy vessel by suppling it with energy."
"….."
"Its just happened." – said the general.
"Its just happened? It's just FUKING happened?!" – asked furious pope.
"WHAT KIND OF PATHETIC EXUSE IS THAT?!"
"THIS ISN'T AN EXCUSE! ITS AN FUKING REASON!" – shouted back the general at the pope, surprising him.
"I fallowed the fuking order of yours about focusing on the defense and making sure we would stall for time, but because of that strategy we ended up being discovered."
"We should had focused on the offence instead of defense!"
"You fool! The plan was create the holy vessel and let the Akima daughter slaughter these heretics in the name of Akima!" – said the pope.
"BUT WE DON'T HAVE TIME!" – shouted the general.
"We can hold off the kingdom army and those vampires, we can do this. But how long do we have to wait in order to create that holy vessel?"
"I say we change up the tactic and focus on the offence and in the first place, the defense strategy has way too many flaws and problems that just cannot be ignored."
"It will take time for them to find all the temples and before they all get deactivated, the holy beast of the goodness Akima will have enough power to-"
"ENOUGH!" – shouted the pope.
"This isn't MY plan you buffoon!" – said angry pope.
"This is the plan that goodness Akima herself came up with! This is also the reason why she allowed us to summon all of her holy beast as well! To stall for time in order to give her daughter an body."
"The goodness Akima wants her daughter to personally punish the heretics that dares to defy her!"
"If those bastards discovered the temples, then just move your forces and fortify the defenses around them."
"?!"
"But if I do that, then I won't have nowhere near enough soldiers for the attack force! I already relocated a lot- "
"You have your orders. Dismissed." – said the pope.
"Or if you like, pray and request the audience with the holy goodness Akima herself and say that her plan sucks."
"Go on. Do it!"
"…."
"I will as goodness instructed." – said the general before turning away and leaving.
"…."
"Tch."
"Useless, all of them!" – said annoyed pope out loud.
(First those fuking alchemist aren't able to create the holy vessel and now our top general and the stronger paladin is disagreeing with the goodness decision.)
(This is annoying.)
(…..)
(No matter.)
(All we have to do is to create the vessel of the Akima daughter and everything will be over.)
(Yes…. Once she gets here, all of these fifthly heretics will soon come!)
(And once it does! Nothing will stand in the path of our goodness! NOTHING!)
Upon the discovery of the underground temples and the secret behind the holy beast strength was made public, including the fact that the higher ranking officers of the kingdom that had been secretly and traitor had been exposed, the church forces had completely abandoned any form of offence and mainly focused on the defense.
Regarding this, the kingdom and the organization representees held meeting regarding the church action, in with the kingdom realize that the that they need to take down the temples in order defeat the church and the servants of the evil god.
On the surface, that is what will be going on, but in reality the organization plans on attacking the church main base, while they are focused on defending the temples.
"Well. This is interesting." – said the vampire general while gazing at the giant cannon ball like weapon that had gems attached to its side, forming an ring alongside an seat attached to the side.
"So, this is the magic cannons that you had been working on?"
"Yeb." – replied Doctor.
"Range. Power. Speed. All things that had been requested had been put onto this thing."
"I had already tested it and used it against those holy shields that I had been provided with…. And the results are more than enough."
"Still, the problem is that this gun cannot rapid fire and each shot does eat a lot of energy, however this part was expected."
"The blueprint of these guns were also submitted to the organization, so even without me, they can mass produce them."
"Huh… Nice." – said the general.
"They will do the job, right?" – asked the general.
"They should, based on the test." – replied Doctor.
"These bad boys can also be used against armies or in siege battles as well."
"I also added the re-adjustment. Allowing you to increase the range of this gun, in exchange of fire power."
"However, there is limit on how much you can reduce the power. It can reduce up to 50%, however that doesn't mean that cost of single shot will change and while doing the re-adjustment, the gun needs to be disarmed for moment and cannot be loaded with energy."
"Those are the downsides…. But overall, the 3 main points of the gun had been made just the way you guys wanted it to be."
"Hm…. Welp, let's hope it works." – said the general.
"Anyway, Hunter?" – asked the general.
"…."
"I'm here." – said Hunter as she emerged from the shadows.
"How is the situation?" – asked the general.
"Just as suspected, the church forces have gathered near the settlements and are not leaving at all." - replied Hunter.
"What about the spies and scouts?" – asked general.
"They were present. They are putting a lot of them." – replied Hunter.
"I guess they want to be alarmed as soon as possible when one of their settlements are attacked."
"Yea, I can kind of guess why. If you attack one settlement, the scouts will go towards the nearest ally settlement and bring in the reinforcements." – said the general.
"…."
"Well then, what is the plan?" – asked Doctor.
"The cannon blueprint are made and we can produce more of these cannons if necessary."
"So, should we wait and arm up our army with these cannons? Or do we use the cannons we made so far and use them in action now?"
"Well… The kingdom doesn't know about our plans yet." – replied the general.
"However, we cannot immediately head off towards the church main base. These guys maybe stupid, but even they can realize when something is plainly off."
"So, at first we will just support the kingdom regarding the attacks on the cities that has hidden temples, make it look like we are also aiming to destroy them, while also using these cannons to wound those birds."
"Once they are wounded, the church may order these birds to retreat in order to not lose them."
"However, if they don't, then we will just shot these birds down."
"Welp, there will be obviously the part where the church forces will aim for the cannons." – said Doctor.
"Still, the plan should work."
"If we were to able to take down some of these birds and temples as well, it will make church panic even more, resulting in them putting even more forces around the temples."
"In turn weakening their main army to the point it cannot operate anymore at all."
"Yes. They may even be forced to relocate some of their troops from their main base to the frontlines as well, if these idiots keep up with this mind set." – said the general.
"At this rate, the church of the holy fire will stand in the ruins and their pope head will be on the pike."
"And with it, the goodness Akima will completely lose any power she has left."
"These bastards are not aware of it, but their time is running out."
"Soon, an real fuking bloodbath will start."
