"So….. He managed to escape by teleporting….. Is this a bad thing? Or a good thing?" – asked Maparapara.
"Good thing, if I'm being honest." – said Phantasia.
"We want them know I'm out there, causing chaos."
"Huh…. Then this did worked out in our favor….. By the way, about the whole video thing?" – asked Maparapara.
"Hm? Oh yea, I was really recording this thing." – replied Phantasia.
"I was planning on humiliating people and stuff…. But that teleportation did kind of ruined it all, since it was obvious that it wasn't his own doing."
"Huh…. By the way, why did you even told him that?" – asked Maparapara.
"I mean the recording bit?"
"To make sure that he wouldn't escape." – said Thanatos.
"Guys like him care about their image above everything else."
"If he were to run away, he could had been called a coward… Something he does not want at any cost."
"Okay, enough talk already. Let's go." – said Phantasia.
"We have yet to fulfil our original goal."
<<Welp, I really wasn't expecting to encounter that guy who was recently making headlines, Iron Will…. But we did.>>
<<I've got to say, he was strong…. But he wasn't Magnus.>>
<<From the looks of things he is both the chosen paladin of the church and he also had something else…. "Hero". Some of his skills had this thing in their name….. The priest of the mother of light church or the paladins does not have any skills with the "Hero" in their name.>>
<<That legendary class is some sort of "Hero" then?>>
<<Somebody really wants to be the main protagonist, eh?>>
<<…. There was also questions regarding the so called one time barrier he had AND the teleportation.>>
<<According to the Thanatos, it was the exactly same barrier that the Daughter Of Mercy used.>>
<<I didn't see any weird barrier that she described appearing again…. So, I guess it was really just one time use automatic barrier?>>
<<There is also that teleportation.>>
<<Who teleported him away? I've used my monsters and detection skills but found nothing.>>
<<By the looks of things that was a long range teleportation…. But who used it? I mean, how did they knew he was in danger?>>
<<Was he under some sort of skill that monitors him? Or maybe there was somebody just watching from the shadows?>>
<<According to the Thanatos, she saw a light for moment in the distance from the skies…. Maybe somebody was watching and then instantly ran away?>>
<<…. Meh. Our goal is to be known, so let them report us.>>
<<Anyway, our little army wandered into the enemy lines of the defenses….. And it was obvious that we would had been spotted by the flying angels, causing the empire to deploy a extermination squad to deal with us.>>
<<But here is a problem.>>
<<They didn't expected specifically me yet to appear, making them easy to the ripped apart.>>
<<Well, they have not seen me at all since the start of the war and the news must had not spread yet…. Or maybe this guy isn't telling anybody in order to hide his own failure of not stopping us?>>
<<Either way, they will know about us.>>
<<Anyway, what we did next was simple.>>
<<We raided small settlements left and right under the empire control and wrecked them while murdering every single person inside or just ordering the citizens to evacuate.>>
<<Why we did that?>>
<<Food.>>
<<The empire forces here have problem with supplies.>>
<<I was filled in what happened between the vampires and merfolk, so I know that the lack of supplies are hitting the empire pretty hard…. But I wanted to suffer them more.>>
<<So, we went around, "rescuing" and "Destroying" the captured villages and villagers in order to make production of food way harder.>>
<<This will definitely piss off the empire.>>

"What do you mean the villages were burned to the ground!?" – shouted furies Godfrey at the communication orb.
"W-we….. The- "
"SPEAK UP! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED! WHO DID IT?!" – shouted Godfrey as the panicking paladin couldn't properly report the situation.
"…"
"It was doing of Phantasia the Doctor." – said Iron Will as he took over the call.
"?"
"Iron Will? The hell are you doing back at Maok?" – asked confused but angry Godfrey.
"It was your sister doing…. She teleported me." – said Iron Will.
"!"
"Wait, what!? What happened to her?!" – said nervous Godfrey.
"Nothing…. She just wanted to rescue me…. Even though I've told her not to use this thing for- "
"Wait, rescued? Why…. What happened?" – asked Godfrey.
"…"
"During last time when we had a call and we were about to set fire to the town…. Phantasia alongside his monster appeared… They destroyed the town themselves, forces us to run away…. Before then hunting us down…. My entire squad was eliminated by him and his friends."
"Your sister with the assistance of angel found out about the situation and teleported me away….. But it wasn't the end."
"They marched into our territory, destroyed the army that was send after them…. And then attack the villages that were under our control."
"The villagers were either dead or missing…. And the villages and their farms were burned to the ground…"
"They also infested the area around with plague, including wild monsters…. Before then they disappeared alongside the villagers."
"…"
"They were aiming for our means of securing supplies?" – said pissed off Godfrey.
(First sea and now land?!)
(And they just went around, murdering their own people and burning down their own farms?! They just decided that if they can't have it, neither we can!?)
"Shit! This isn't good."
(Their aim is to starve us…)
"…"
"Relay my order."
"Spread our forces and increase the security around the villages as well as monster hunting grounds! We can't let them destroy any more farms or hunting grounds that can provide us with food!"
<<The Son Of Glory acted pretty quickly by the looks of things…. The information about the incident must had reached his ears quiet quickly.>>
<<Well, that is what we wanted.>>
<<The empire troops are now desperate and spread around, trying to protect their means of gaining any food…. And here is another problem for them.>>
<<We may have helped the villages to evacuate…. But who ever said that we had left their territory in the first place?!>>
"Okay. We are going to check for the forest!" – shouted the high paladin.
"According to the reports, some sick monsters were spotted in inside of it, suggesting that the Doctor may had infected the forest monsters there with plague!"
"We need to deal with the plague and possible heal any monsters we find!"
"These monsters here are edible, so we cannot lose this place!"
"Got it?!"
"Good, then- "
A large hand suddenly extended from the forest, grabbing the high paladin by his head, before then dragging him into the forest.
"!?"
"Captain?!" – the soldiers panicked and tried to rescue their leader…. Only to then get instantly jumped by the horde of chimeras and toy monsters that were waiting inside.
"Peka fucking boo, motherfuckers." – said Phantasia as he emerged from the forest.
"How about we play a little game of hide and seek?"
<<There are reasons why soldiers are often not spread everywhere during the wars and instead they are kept in one place.>>
<<Dispatch and protection.>>
<<Key location like towns or cities can be used to store the soldiers that could be deployed anywhere where some sort of situation may occur.>>
<<This will also help them order a large number of soldier all at once, without having to run around and gather them up before sending them.>>
<<But right now? They need to split in order to deal with random problems we had caused.>>
<<And one of those problems was the fact that they didn't knew that we were still here, allowing us to deal with the empire troops somewhat…. "Easier".>>
<<But this also had a problem.>>
<<With them being split apart like this, they were able to detect our presence way faster than they should had before….. But again, WE WANTED THEM TO KNOW!>>
<<By the way, what happened to the town that usually had reserved troops on standby, but those said troops were all dispatched all at once? What happens to the said town defenses?>>
<<The answer is simple.>>
<<THEY BECOME EASY TARGETS!>>
<<We raided the town that they were using as their garrison and completely destroyed it.>>
<<We killed every single person inside that town, be it a normal civilian or the empire soldier, everybody has died.>>
<<We burn their supplies and broke their weapons, while also spreading the plague around.>>
<<And like that? One of their key locations was completely destroyed while we just ran away before they could regroup properly.>>
<<By the way, why we did it all this way?>>
<<Why we wanted to be "known" and "seen", even though this operation would had been more hurtful for our enemies if we just stayed hidden?>>
<<The answer is really simple.>>
<<We wanted to mess up with their heads.>>
<<It is time for the chaos to spread among their ranks and see what kind of messed up shit they will experience.>>
