[Current location: Meeting hall.]
"The empire forces are falling apart!?" – asked shocked king Konrad Yiuk from Yiuk kingdom as his hologram was present in the meeting.
"Yea…. Honestly, things started looking pretty badly for us once the Son Of Glory started personally leading the charge and everything…. Not even a single one of our soldiers that had encountered them had survived…. To the point I had to heavily depend on the adventurers to even try and slow him down." – said the hologram of the king of Liop, Gustav Wamud.
"From what I heard, it was your doing king of vampires?"
"Well… Yes and no." – said vampire king of Ku'rod, Gravar Von Wither.
"It was thanks to one of my most loyal and powerful servants Doctor."
"He managed to spread quiet chaos among the enemy forces while also destroying their supplies."
"He also made some interesting weapons that were able to take down the empire ships with the support of the merfolk."
"Merfolk…. So, they are really working with us?" – asked king of Yiuk that sounded extremely skeptical.
"Can we really trust them?"
"Well, it is not like they can betray us after they sided with us." – said the king of Liop.
"After all, the empire pretty much enslaved them while pretending to rescue them and they planned on getting rid of them in order to not have any lose ends."
"The merfolk had already signed contract with the vampire kingdom AND with rest of us in order to secure the alliance."
"So they really can't betray us, or they will face self-destruction."
"…"
"Wait…. Wait a moment." – said the hologram of the King of Meruz – Gerald Wardion.
"Wasn't the Doctor that mad man and scientist that created those weapons that vampires are often using?"
"From what I know, he is also known for using army of monsters and plagues…. Why you didn't unleased him before?"
"Well…. It was complicated…. And it was extremely crucial project he was working on, before the empire even managed to get on our lands…. But I need your full support on this." – said the vampire king.
"And by support I mean keeping your mouth shut."
"What I'm about to say to you isn't something that anybody else can hear it, even your loved us."
"So until you give me your word, I won't say anything."
"…"
"I'm in." – said the king of Liop without hesitation.
"Same here." – said the Yiuk.
"…. Well…. I think I'm as well? This must be pretty important if you want us to keep the matter hidden." – said the king of Meruz.
"…"
"We have a weapon capable of destroying the Great Barrier." – said the vampire king.
"We now posses means of ending this war and kicking the empire out of our continent."
"!?"
"Wait, you serious?!" – asked shocked king of Meruz.
"Damn…. No wonder you want to keep it a secret then." – said the king of Yiuk.
"The empire is already growing desperate and are in the state of despair after their supplies started running dry for some time."
"But if they were to find out that we have now means of completely destroying their last line of defense and eradicating them…."
"And if we were to eliminate the Daughter Of Mercy… Then empire will no longer be able to break through our sea defenses ever again."
"…"
"Are you suggesting that we should go all out then? To completely eradicate the empire forces!?" – asked excited king of Meruz.
"Nah…. Too risky…" – said the vampire king.
"He is right… Even thought the empire forces are starving here, we were only able to take back small amount of territory." – said the king of Liop.
"There is also the Son Of Glory."
"Right now the empire is still "Strong" and doing something like this would carry a huge risk."
"Yea… And that is why that guy was ordered to cause chaos, to weaken the empire forces, softening them and making them easier target." – said the vampire king.
"But we also can't wait for too long."
"The empire ships have merfolk problem and the sea monster problem that was caused by the demon god forces that were left in the area."
"But they will deal with it sooner or later."
"And once they do, the empire will definitely send out massive way of reinforcement and bring out a lot of supplies to feed their entire army."
"Once they do, things will instantly change…. And we may even lose this war."
"We need to play it safe."
"But most importantly and above everything else, we need to play it smart."
"Or all of us will die like idiots."
"…"
The talk between leader of each nation continued for some time, discussing mostly about how to try and end this war as well as how to reach the ending.
After the two hours of talking, the meeting has finally ended.
(Honestly…. Things are going way better than I had thought.) – thought the vampire king as he got up from his communication throne and left the room.
(I was expecting this guy to make a mess, but I wasn't expecting THAT big of a mess…. I guess I underestimated this "chaos" and stuff.)
"!"
"Welcome, queen." – said the vampire king as he encountered the new queen of merfolk.
"Sorry for calling you so suddenly and having you wait until I end the meeting."
"No problem." – said the merfolk queen as she started walking side by side with the vampire king.
"Anyway, what is situation?"
"Way better than anybody could had imaged." – replied the vampire king.
"With you attacking their ships and the Doctor causing chaos on the land, the empire troops here are pretty much lost any hopes of obtaining food."
"They are currently starving."
"…"
"And as it turned out, the information about the artefact you told us was correct."
"We still haven't obtained it, but we managed to detect it."
"I've told you, I didn't lied." – said the merfolk queen.
"Yes… You didn't….. But now I wonder, how did you knew about it in the first place?" – asked the vampire king.
"Hm… Secret." – said the merfolk queen.
(I need one or few in order to have you not see me as expendable.) – thought the merfolk queen.
"…"
"Fair enough." – said the vampire king.
"But anyway. Now that we confirmed that the artefact was real…. Does that mean that the god of fire and beauty is really dying?"
"Yeb…. But the problem is I don't know why, if you are wondering." – said the merfolk queen.
"Already obtaining informations why they needed the artefact in the first place was extremely hard to get."
"The only ones on this whole continent that may know anything would be the Son Of Glory or the Daughter Of Mercy…. But good luck with getting informations out of these two."
"…. I see." – said the vampire king.
(Honestly, after finding out about the whole "goodness dying" information, we have been trying to get bottom of this…. But we had found nothing.)
(The king said that we should report this to the organization, but not now….. Not until we repel the empire forces and kick them out.)
(Then and only then we are allowed to go public with this information.)
(But by the looks of things, it won't take us long to make that information public.)
<<Welp, the situation has changed.>>
<<Once the empire could not be stopped at all with their conquest of our continent, is now getting conquered back by us.>>
<<The empire forces are starving and they had completely ran out of the food.>>
<<And with each passing day that starvation is ravaging their bodies and minds.>>
<<According to our agents, the empire is straight up ordering players to go around, hunting monsters in order to secure some food and stuff... BUT HERE IS A FUNNY STUFF!>>
"THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!" – shouted Iron Will.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE FOREST?!"
<<WE KNEW THEY WOULD TRY THAT!>>
<<So, me and the girls may not or may not had sabotages the forest by exterminating monsters or infesting the forests with plagues.>>
<<Or just having us hiding inside those forest, hunting down the players that tried to complete the quest.>>
<<So yea, we were going full asshole mode.>>
<<Not only that, but fishing was also out of the question.>>
<<Some people tried to fish some food or hunt down sea monsters in order to obtain something edible, but the merfolks sabotages were also effective.>>
<<Before we had the whole sabotage operation of attacking their food supplies, I've made a little contact with the new merfolk queen and told her about my plans.>>
<<The bomb plan and the gun plan.>>
<<Even before she even agreed to me, I've already started researching and making the new weapons for them.>>
<<The bomb plan was obvious.>>
<<Blow up the transport ships as well as spread the monster frenzy plague in the sea.>>
<<And the second part? New weapons.>>
<<I've researched and created modified versions of some of my weapons that can be used underwater and I gave those weapons and blueberry to the vampires so they can start mass producing them for the merfolk.>>
<<This obviously meant one thing.>>
<<Trouble for the empire.>>
<<Whenever they tried to get ANY food from the sea, merfolk would just show up, gun them down and then either steal or just destroy their food.>>
<<THEY GAINED 0 FOOD! NOTHING AT ALL!>>
<<No matter what they tried to do, we were always few steps ahead, planning our traps everywhere!>>
<<And the results were obvious.>>
<<Starvation and collapsation.>>
<<Some of them started fighting among themselves while others ignored orders in order to launch their own attacks at us in order to attempt and gain some food.>>
<<The trust in their leaders were fatling as well as their fate.>>
<<The players were also getting desperate and they were slowly starting to see things going in not so favorable direction for them.>>
<<The empire forces were collapsing left and right.>>
<<With each passing moment and day, they were slowly dying... And after long enough wait?>>
<<They were ready to be harvested.>>
<<The alliance forces had launched their most powerful invasion at the empire forces.>>
<<Indenting to finaly end this war once and for all.>>
