Fuck, did he already noticed our intentions?
No. it can't be. First of all, since from the start, we haven't shown any interest in really helping them, we just traded for our service in exchange of coins.
For now, let's feint.
"What do you mean intentions?"
"Let me make myself clear." Gallard cleared his throat then continued. "What are your intentions on following us, you can just have the deposits we gave then ran away."
Heh, so that is why.
"I'm a woman of word, even with what is happening right now, I can still retain my self and don't get greedy. Besides, there is still the half of the price in your hands after we arrived at what you supposed to be call base."
"Hmm... Alright then." With that, Gallard stood up. "I'll guard in the roof top, be wary of the surroundings through the windows, I might missed something anyways."
"Alright." Eleanor leaned against the blocked window, staring at the dark skies with a small fracture like shattered glass on it.
If it weren't for their promise of bringing me to power, I might not accepted this offer from that couple of psychopaths.
...
"Ack!"
A crimson long spear pierced a young man's chest as he grasped for breath before dying. Noire appeared besides the corpse and found any useful items with him. Next to her is Xavier, glancing an eye at the surroundings.
Since morning, after eating breakfast, the two have been hunting players who's level is above level 5. And being high level is a blessing and curse itself.
"I can't gain experience anymore from monsters below level 20, much less to players below level 10. This sucks as we need to search for more stronger opponents." Xavier grumbled. By this time, the two are already running quickly to nearby places they haven't searched yet. Aiming at players who survived the oppressions.
"Just stay at the back and let me farm on my own, then help me if I'm struggling with a player that seems powerful for you." Noire next to him remarked.
They continued this hunt until dusk. Overall, the two didn't achieved half of their goals as Noire was still stuck at level 18 with almost one kill to level up yet the two can't find anymore players nearby and also the fact that they haven't searched the whole district itself.
On the lucky side, with their powers, they were able to clear wild monsters and reclaim certain territories that had a storage of supplies for them. Securing their supply shortage for atleast a month considering that 3/4 of the stockpile would not spoil until then.
As the night arrived, the two settled at the tall walls of the district center where they can see the wyvern den, the latter was flying in the skies proudly like they own it and the alpha flied higher than them like some sort of greater being.
"I bet they're at level 15 at the least with the wyvern alpha being at level 25. Hell he might be the Greater Monster that spawned this afternoon, if it weren't for the fact that the Greater Monster is actually the Monarch of the Orges in the fusion of their dens." Noireremarked.
"We'll hunt them later after the meeting with the Monarch of Orges. Until then, let's decide if we're going to kill the Monarch or not based on their benefit for us."
"I doubt it. They're powerful as individual, let alone an small state of orges. Killing the Monarch will make them weaker as our soldiers, might as well not obey us."
"That is what I thought too. But considering that the chapter requirements to complete is them, then we have no choice but to kill them. If it comes to that, we might as well raise an army of players from the survivors here."
"Why not both?" Noire shared. "What about this, tomorrow, I'll look for other strong survivors then form atleast a small group of adapters while you take care of those green brutes. It's like hooking a price toy that is holding each other."
"Hmm... Alright, but be careful. You might come across someone we can't mess with. I already felt her presence with the position as a District Master. She's definitely atleast above level 15. might also be in par with your level."
"Don't worry, I'll manage myself."
...
That morning, Noire went to other areas where they haven't went yet while Xavier went north to meet the newly formed orge state that is managed and formed by him but controlled with three different orge dark mages.
With his 4 physical stats, he managed to arrived at the large state of orges in a matter of minutes. What he found is the large clump of tents here and there, placed between tall buildings that are also inhabiting some orges while a large circle is formed in the center and there, Xavier saw the Monarch of this army.
Green bulky body, standing as tall as 5 meter tall with four massive arms on both side. Hunched back with bloated abdomen, scars around his body like he had been a warrior since childhood and a graying hair and beard that smelled a wisdom.
With both four arms holding four different weapons, large sword, big hammer, sharp axe, and long spear. He looked like someone forcefully pulled out of dark fantasy book.
Before Xavier can even land at the center, before the Monarch who's standing tall, the latter immediately sensed his descent making Xavier surprised.
I guess I can't judge a book by it's cover. Right now, he might appear like someone who would only lived for violence, but he might possess a strong sense and a high intellectual property. Enough not to attack me despite sensing my approach.
For now, let's play.
"You must be the Monarch of this orges. What is your name Greater Monster?" Xavier didn't bowed or showed some respect, but even stared straight at the eye of this large orge.
"Hmm... Human, you're interesting. Are you the one who reunited this army?" A loud and husky voice came out of his mouth.
"You didn't answered my question yet, what is your name?"
The giant Monarch frowned at him, showing hostility as he straighten all his weapon behind his back. "Cocky brat, let's see what can you do!"
The giant Monarch immediately swung his sword and axe forward with the spear and the hammer following by. The speed was blurry and not cleared and it struck Xavier in a matter of no less than a second.
Bam!
A loud and large explosion of dust and smoke instantly appeared where Xavier was standing, yet after the dust faded, Xavier stood there and didn't even flinch as the weapon of the orge Monarch, even made all of iron, was sliced cleanly and scattered their debris across and surround Xavier.
"That's it?" Xavier laughed before disappearing in where he stood and instantly appeared before the giant orge Monarch. The latter sensed this but didn't move an inch as he was struck by a heavy double kick to his center chest.
Bam!
This large and colossal orge Monarch was sent flying in the air despite his weight as a large crater appeared at his center chest.
Boom!
He landed hard at the nearby tall building, the debris from the shocks shattered the tall building and sent them flying and falling. From the dust, the Monarch of this orges appeared and walked forward back to the center while rubbing his center chest in pain.
He stared straightly at Xavier who's smugging at him in mocking way. As he made his way just a meter from him, the hostile look at his face immediately changed to laugh.
"Hahaha! You are sure a brat!" The giant orge Monarch sat instantly, shaking the ground as he landed. "Fine, you got me there. This monarch is the 7th in command of the great orge kingdom in our world. My name is..."
"Navaar!"
...
Noire arrived at the unsearched territories in the district. Just southwest of the district where Xavier went to shower a blood here for experience. As of now, the place was in ruins and blood are everywhere, painting the area in crimson red.
There, Noire explored a bit more before stumbling upon a group of survivors who's searching for some loot from this dead soldiers.
They're a group of five with two frontliners, two backers, and one support. Just a basic formation of team. Hell, they might be part of the righteous group or whatever that organization called.* Noire hid behind some debris, silently observing the group afar using binoculars.
The group was compromised of three men and two women, all of them are young except the leader who's the supporter who looked like someone who had experienced all life because of his really old looks.
The group was just looting the dead corpse and their vehicles here as not all corpse had loots since some other survivors also looked here some time ago. In any case, the strange flags hanging in the ground through the air is still working, well most of them. Providing protection from the survivors here and the group was also not alone here.
From every possible corner, there are survivors who just used this place as temporary settlement because of it's protection and they're many of them since the remaining flags shrouded atleast 1km radius wide.
Noire though, was interested in this group and had been eyeing them for atleast half an hour, waiting a moment where she can talk with them without revealing herself to the other survivors as they might saw her killing other survivors in different areas.
"Atleast, if they do me, I'll just kill them." Noire said before she felt a breath behind her. She immediately turned back and saw a woman as tall as 2 meter with dark blue hair flowing though the air.
"Kill them? That's brutal."
