"Good,"Lady Nada said, "I will now mobilize the guards and all the NPCs capable of fighting to protect the important buildings here," she said, "I can't really interfere much in this tide, but I can give you so help here and there. feel free to make your players get the gears they need from the blacksmith association, and everything is on ," she added, with her charming smile which caused to feel comfortable.
"Sure, thanks for the help," I nodded, before she said:
"Go now and prepare."
Everyone just nodded before standing up, and leaving. I was left alone with her, while she glanced at with her wide smile before saying:
"You know, if you managed to cut your way to the heart of the town mayor's mansion, you can find the heart stone of the town. Stab your weapon into it and at once a challenge will be issued, a challenge between two towns," she said, while winking her eyes to , "but this is a top secret, so make sure you didn't hear it from ," she added, with her sly smile that I loved.
"Sure, I just learnt from witch's legacy," I nodded, while knowing what she referred to just now.
She wanted to help in my crusade, as dealing with all these enemies alone would be quite dangerous. I felt grateful for her extended care for , and I knew I had gained a great family mber, like a mother to .
I then excused myself and went away, to the outside, where I saw my main players there. I walked towards the gate as I said:
"Follow , we have a lot of work to do."
They silently walked by my side, while I exited the gates, heading to the streets. "I have made these gears for our top players, and for the rest of them, just make them visit the blacksmith guild where they will have their own weaker gears," I said, as I knew for sure the guild wouldn't afford to arm all my players with fancy gears.
"Is that for money? How much?" Elyo suddenly asked.
"It's a gift from the town mayor," I simply replied, before throwing the bomb in their faces, "make our players ready for monster tide to hit us tomorrow morning."
Their faces changed at once, while Rody asked:
"Isn't it supposed to be next month?"
"Yes, but our beloved enemy had made sothing and hastened the ti of the tide," I said, while recalling the enemies inside the town, "how about other guilds and groups here in the town?" I asked.
"There are many groups here, but we don't know their stand in regard to us," Gabri said."
"Good, tomorrow make a list Gabri, each group or guild refuses to show up, mark them down, and find their locations."
I walked with them towards the adventurer guild, while asking:
"How many players have we acquired so far?"
"Over forty thousand till now, and the number is increasing," Gabri replied.
"Good, let's arrange them then, and make a private elite group of players for each one of us," I said, as I entered the paraters of the adventurer guild, to be t with a huge crowd of players lining and crowding to enter there.
"Sigh, this would take so ti," I sighed, helplessly, while refusing the others' suggestion to announce my identity to enter there.
I didn't want any more shouting and things like that. so, they all left to manage the current issues, all except Diana, who kept standing beside , in silence, while waiting to enter the main hall of the association.
"Why do I feel you plan for sothing big?" she suddenly asked, as if she was able to read my mind.
"Well, I really intend to do sothing big," I paused, as we already entered the hall. The mont I entered there, all the NPCs stopped what they were doing, stood up and shouted in unison:
"Welco esteed hero of our town."
Their salute alerted everyone, inside and outside, as they all looked at with questioning eyes at first, before the hall exploded with wild cheers again!
"Long live mighty guild master."
"Long live mighty guild master."
"Long live mighty guild master."
I just sighed, helplessly, as I was busted! I just nodded to them, accepting their congratulations and deep wishes with my formal smile, while making my way to the back hall, where I entered and closed the door after Diana entered it.
One NPC was waiting for there, as he gave a hundred scrolls while saying:
"My master said to deliver these to your esteed hero."
I took the scrolls from him while looking in doubt to them. I only asked for one, but he gave a hundred.
"He also said that going to war can't be done alone. You need the help of your trusted and capable subordinates, and this is just a gift for you to do so," he added, explaining why there were a hundred instead of one.
I sighed, again, helplessly, as I said:
"Send my greetings to master, and thank him for ."
I then took my leave, again passing through the whole cheerful crowd, until I exited their area of presence in a whole hour!
I was already tired from smiling and replying to good wishes by thanks!
"So, you are planning to go sowhere alone?" Diana asked, as she was, amidst all that chaos, calm and silent. I just side glanced at her, as I was totally exhausted from all this.
"I will go to the main town of that Trinity guild and destroy the town over their heads after I deal with the monster tide!"
Her eyebrows were raised slightly as she replied in surprise:
"I thought I was one vengeful person, but it seems I'm inferior to you."
I smiled while pointing to the scroll I just took out and said:
"This is the way to go there, and now I have a hundred of them. so, we will all go to make so noise there."
She chuckled, as she said:
"Destruction is my specialty, don't worry about that."
That sword girl was really bloody, and I was in need for her actions and violence in this mission. Though I planned to go alone, and was, at first, frustrated from the association leader's behavior, but now I was feeling so warmth inside .
It was great having friends and company when fighting against the whole world!
"Where do you want to go now?" she suddenly asked, and I smiled, mysteriously, as I said:
"Let's gather our old friends, we have a war tomorrow and they need to be ready."
Diana understood what I ant by that. I was going to call the two crazy sisters, and invite them to join tomorrow.
I opened my friends' list, and sent a brief ssage to Aria. I told her the monster tide will be tomorrow, and I want to et with everyone who would be willing to help.
The old gathering I had with her when we went to the mystic art eting was now needed to be held again. I knew she might be quite busy, as she received a greatly damaged group with many loose ends, but I was sure she must have done things brilliantly while I was away at the mystic art sacred lands.
"Where are we going to et them?" Diana asked, as the day she t them was the day I t her, and the day she was forced and punished to join as a butler by her master.
I was sure she was now feeling grateful for that fortunate encounter that made us et, and I was too feeling like her.
"Let's et in a restaurant, what do you think?" I asked, as I had no place in mind.
"That old classy restaurant? No, let's select another place," she shook her head, as if she still hated the place there, "let's et at the town's mayor mansion. I'm sure the mayor wouldn't disagree for that, and such a place would be a great and clear ssage about your current identity."
I really liked her suggestion, so I hurriedly sent the ssage about the place of eting, telling Aria to bring everyone and co to et with at the town's mayor mansion.
The na itself was heavy, and selecting that place like it was my own ho was a very clear ssage to those who would have second thoughts. I really liked this move from Diana, simple but cruel at the sa ti. so, I said in a good mood:
"Co, let's go and et our old friends."
She just followed silently, without knowing what she was thinking of right now.
The mont I reached there, I found many guards already gathering, responding to the call of Lady Nada. I didn't know if she was ho or not, but I went to one of them as I asked:
"Hi, I'm player Agatha, and I want to hold a eting with my own allies inside the mansion. Is Lady Nada here?"
The NPC guard looked at , calmly at first, before he was startled, before leaning on one knee while saying:
"Greetings esteed hero of the town, it's my honor to et you!"
'Oh damn, not again!!!'
