Chapter 750: Chapter 751 – Worrying meeting.

[1 IRL day later – Purple Hyena’s meeting room.]

"..."

"Fuck." – said Oron.

"You got to be fucking with me mate." – said Shri.

"We just had the situation with the Forgotten Fragment yesterday, and you are now freaking telling us about this SHIT?!"

"Look... I’m sorry... But there is no time to rest." – said ClownFrog.

"Yeah... With those kind of information... No wonder you are worried." – said GreyHunt.

"He hired players? And possible have them directly working for him?"

"..."

"Were they identified?"

"No." – replied ClownFrog.

"I’ve asked them about the description, but I couldn’t find any matches." – said ClownFrog as he pulled out a sheet of papers which had description of the several spotted players, which were taken by the present members of the guild.

"..."

"No banners.... Or symbols..." – said Oron.

"Do they wanted to hide? Or there isn’t a guild or stuff like this working for them?"

"Either way... The one that killed demon lord.... A sword with a golden light."

"..."

"There are only few things in this world that emits the golden light."

"The mana of the dragons."

"...And my Caliburn."

"..."

"Excalibur was destroyed."

"But... The one who was involved in its creation is possible still on the loose."

"Morgan." – said GreyHunt.

"..."

"But we shouldn’t point fingers yet."

"As you said, the dragon power can also generate golden glow."

"Then again... The reports here don’t say anything about the dragons."

"No. They were not involved." – said ClownFrog.

"The monsters that were captured did not shown any draconic traits either."

"..."

"Ain’t no fucking way." – said Rampage.

"Agree. There is no way that the weapon that the man was using was Excalibur." – said Blueberry.

"It would be beyond foolish or straight up dumb."

"I mean, we haven’t revealed to the public that we HAVE the Caliburn in our possession."

"Its existence is still hidden."

"Maybe they think.... No.... No. No... There is good chance that the ’benefactor’ may know."

"If he truly knows more than us and knows stuff about True Sins and True Virtues... Then if we add the fact that our empire is ’blessed by the True Sloth’... It wouldn’t be far stretched to say to think that the Caliburn was already repaired."

"So, they know about it and yet they pulled THAT stunt!?" – said Rampage.

"..."

"We can’t know for certain that the blade is really related to the Morgan or the Excalibur." – said Swim.

"It all could be still nothing more than coincidence."

"And let’s not forget."

"We have some enemies who are dragons."

"And the dragon empire isn’t the only place where the dragons are more ’common’ and ’citizens’."

"We still don’t know who the ’benefactor’ is nor we know where his main of operation really is."

"Not only that, we still don’t have any confirmation that this new faction is really working for the ’benefactor’ or they are working with him instead."

"...True... Confirming whenever or not they are working for him or with him is one of the most important things we need to find out." – said Oron.

"But are we sure about moving?"

"If the ’benefactor’ goal is to get rid of competition, then wouldn’t we be the most obvious targets?"

"True... That bastards ain’t dumb enough to realize how much he pissed us all of." – said GreyHunt.

"And considering how our empire became so strong, alongside all of us becoming straight up raid bosses... We would be the biggest obstacle to get rid of them."

"And yet... Nothing?"

"If they really wanted to get rid of us, they would had done that now."

"..."

"Unless they can’t." – said Shri.

"Barrier title."

"That mean they can’t declare war on us."

"And if that is the case, the ’benefactor’ may have in possession an entire nation or something like that."

"..."

*Sigh*

"This ain’t going to be okay." – said Shri.

"...What do we do? Are we going to send around our people to spy on other nations?"

"Nah. I doubt it would work... Everybody knows that the ’benefactor’ is pretty much now a one of most wanted terrorist in the game." – said Howl.

"Anybody who would had info would instantly sell it for fortune."

"Not only that, let’s not forget about dragon empire."

"So far? They had been keeping quiet."

"But we still don’t know when these hostiles clans could snap."

"Honestly, I’m even surprised that they kept quiet for so long."

"We still don’t know if it is like one or few clans... Are they scared?"

"Or maybe they are not so united yet?"

"Either way... You can all think of the possibility of the dragon clans and the ’benefactor’ working together to strike down their common enemy?"

"..."

"..."

"This may turn into a war we had never seen before."

"We don’t know who we will be fighting yet or how many nations we will be fighting the moment barrier title’s effect expirees."

"But either way, the moment we start increasing our military forces to the abnormal rate, it may cause some annoying reactions."

"Then what? You want us to just stay and increase our forces modernly?!" – asked pissed off Shri.

"Bad idea. People are scared of us either way and they may do something stupid." – said GreyHunt.

"We will keep increasing our military forces."

"Well, I hope all you didn’t forgotten about farms and shit, since not only armies needs food to survive, but also freaking money and equipment." – said Wretch as the full out debate stared, with everybody gathered raising their points and arguments nonstop.

"..."

"ENOUGH!" – shouted ClownFrog, silencing everybody in the room.

"Look! I’m nervous here as well! But right now, we need to get few things straight before we even move."

"What do we do about the Forgotten Fragments?"

"Based on what that ’benefactor’ may had done, the whole thing could be a distraction or a form of sabotage to delay our attempts at getting them."

"Based on what happened, he is trying to obtain as many Forgotten World items as possible and as fast as possible."

"But why?"

"We don’t know."

"Either way, it is best of our interested to gather as many of that stuff ourselves and possible find a lead."

"And the best way of doing that would be by sending our elites in secret to different places and raiding the Forgotten Fragments."

"..."

"You mean, for us, the top of the empire, to just go around and raid as many dungeons as possible?" – asked GreyHunt.

"By the looks of things this is the wised play here." – said ClownFrog.

"The empire is still somewhat... Well, it still has problems."

"But now it doesn’t need every single of your bastards’ presence to be ’calm’ and shit."

"However, probably I won’t be able to leave this place."

"Not all of us can leave, especially me."

"It is for the best if I stay no matter what in the empire, if all of you were to leave and start attacking the Forgotten Fragments."

"Then again... I will need to leave empire at one point myself."

"?"

"What do you mean?" – asked Rampage.

"Lich Lord’s Tomb." – said ClownFrog.

"I want to challenge that shit hole once again." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"And during my next attempt, I need to conquer that place no matter what."

"So far? Nobody conquered that place."

"Not only that, several people are now keeping a close eye on that place."

"They are scared of me obtaining whatever is inside of that place... But right now?"

"I don’t give a shit even if it causes us to get more enemies."

"I NEED whatever is inside of that place."

"Honestly speaking, I’m maybe speaking like some sort of cocky or over prideful bastard, but my own personal army is one of the strongest points of the empire."

"At this point, I can pretty much take on some kingdoms all by myself."

"But I need more."

"I need more power to conjure even bigger and much powerful armies."

"..."

"True... We do need you to be on steroids." – said GreyHunt.

"..."

"Then let’s do this way."

"We will form few parties that will leave the empire and wonder around, trying to find as many Forgotten Fragment dungeon and conquer them no matter what."

"Even if we were to fight and murder fellow players."

"We may run into the ’benefactor’ forces while doing that, meaning at any point it could end up in large scale battle... So, the groups can’t be weak."

"However at the same time, they can’t be small either."

"..."

"This is a problem..."

"Us elites are boss monsters... Meaning that just one of us is more than enough for a single group."

"Em... I’m sorry for.... But..." – said Blueberry as she spoke up.

"..."

"I... I don’t want to go."

"I need to protect my own eggs... And I don’t know when they could hatch and what not... So..."

"Don’t worry. I’ve already took this in consideration." – replied GreyHunt already.

"But with that said... I’m going to say this."

"If we want to maxims our speed and search, we need to include several players into each group... A players outside of the elites."

"..."

(A people that still don’t know our secret.) – thought everybody.

"..."

(Risky... But we don’t have a choice here.) – thought ClownFrog.

"Fine." – said ClownFrog.

"You are allowed to take as many players as you want."

"But remember."

"Trust is the most important factor here alongside loyalty."

"We don’t want any accidents to happened... If you know what I mean."

"Don’t worry." – said GreyHunt.

"I’m fully aware what could happened if we pick wrong people for the job."

"..."

(But again... I can’t say I’m not worried.) – thought GreyHunt.

(Things are speeding up way too sudden now... And they may only sped up more in the future.)

(....Yeb....)

(I guess I should be ready for any random pain in the ass situation popping up at the moment notice.)
