Chapter 128 – Doctor in the Berior kingdom – Part 2.
[Current location: First princes mansion.]
"All of the knights and soldiers send to the Orca city are gone?!" – asked confused and shocked princess Elizabeth Boran.
"Y-yes…. There were no traces of them what so ever…. We do know they were send there, but beside that there was nothing…. Something must have happened to them by the look of things… There is a chance that the Doctor or his monsters were still in the area and they may have…. Dealt with them." – said the worried knight.
"…. Fuck…." – said princess while holding her head.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
(Did they got ambushed or something?) – though the princess.
(Not a single person we send had came back…. I can only assume that all of them were wiped out.)
(But can we be sure that it was a Doctor and his monsters that were in the area? What if it was somebody else working with him that was laying an ambush.)
"Shit. Send- "
"Princess." – said the knight, not letting the princess talk.
"?"
"What is it?"
"…. This isn't the end of the report."
"…."
*Sigh*
"We…. We encounter destroyed villages while looking around."
"My men only took a quiet look, but they believe that the Doctor was responsible."
"There may have been more damage, but they were ordered not to split up too much for their safety, so we don't know how much damage the Doctor did."
"…What?" – said disturbed princess.
The soldiers as well as the knight who were supposed to be investigating the ruins of the Orca city had all ended up going completely missing.
And this wasn't all.
Upon second investigation that was concluded with much bigger forces as well as in much bigger area, it was discover that several villages were completely destroyed alongside the nearby town.
Some of the survivors of the town that managed to run away in time had said that an army of monsters led by the Doctor had launched an invasion on the town.
The defends of the town couldn't even slow him down him as he broke into the town and began destroying everything he saw and hunting anybody that were found by him or his monsters.
The news regarding this rampage of the Doctor spread quiet far and wide, resulting in many people finding about the incident.
Not only that, the kingdom itself has posted its own bounty for the Doctor head, replacing the first princess bounty, but not exactly.
[Faction quest.]
[Princess Elizabeth Boran, the leader of the first princess faction has issued a special request to all adventures that are part of her faction.]
[Hunt down the Doctor and bring him to justice.]
[Rewards: Depends on whenever you slay or capture and hand over the criminal to the authorities.]
[Completing this quest will also result in boosting the first princess faction reputation and possible results in bonus rewards depending on your current contribution to the faction.]
Now, the players that belongs to the first princess faction would receive a double reward for defeating the Doctor, from the first princess faction as well as from the kingdom itself as long as they are serving the first princess faction.
"The world have been spread princess." – said the knight.
"…Good." – said the tired looking princess.
"…. Em…. Is everything alright? You look tired." – asked the worried knight.
"…No… Nothing is alright…. Fuck. Everything was way too sudden…. And we also don't have any leads regarding the Doctor or any possible connections he could have!"
"We still don't know if he is working alone or is he working for somebody or with somebody else."
"All I did found out from the adventures is that his appearance has changed again, just how with each of his appearance his looks completely changes expect for the top hat and the plague doctor mask."
"Not only that, but his pattern changed!"
"He usually do an attack and then disappear for long time, but this time he just went on total rampage and destroyed multiple locations."
"He apparently did something like that before in Agion kingdom during his second attack and appearance, but apparently his main targets were two locations called Min city and Wild town."
"Both of them were very important locations for the new and young adventures who just started and were not ready yet."
"But the places he attacked just now…. The situation and circumstances are completely different, like nothing alike."
"We straight up don't even know why he attack those places!"
"We can speculated with Orca city, since it was a solid source of income, just like the Dawn city in Agion kingdom that was also attacked by Doctor."
"But the other locations weren't THAT important!"
"It straight up doesn't make sense for him to attack it, unless he just wanted to destroy any settlements near Orca city OR he had some sort of different motive."
"Fuck…. The complete lack of informations about him is straight up hitting us way harder than I had originally though."
(There is also that stupid fact regarding Doctor current power. We straight up don't know how truly
power he is right now!)
"…."
*Sigh"
"…."
"Any news regarding my stupid brothers?"
"There is no way they wouldn't react to the whole "Doctor incident" thing, since we are talking about a well known terrorist that ruined an entire kingdom."
"No. There were no news from either first or second prince nor their factions." – said the knight.
"However, knowing them, they will definitely take actions soon."
"Yea. They will definitely will do something." – said the visible annoyed first princess.
"…."
"Alarm everybody working for us to arm themselves."
"We don't know when or where the Doctor will appear again."
"Nor we know if that bastard will appear again within our own territory."
"We need to have settlements ready in case they need to hold out until reinforced comes, or try and save as many people as possible."
"We cannot let him destroy any more settlements or cause any more unnecessary deaths."
"We have to stop him at all cost!"
With the first princess now offering a special faction quest, the news regarding it started spreading, causing many players to join the first princess faction in order to try and win the quest in order to obtain the promised rewards.
However, this action did not went unnoticed by the first prince faction as well as the second prince faction who had also issued the same type of faction quest where the members of the faction have to hunt down the wanted terrorist known as the "Doctor".
Not only that, but the news regarding the Doctor reappearance as well as his new bounty had already spread through the interment, making a lot of people aware outside the kingdom and continent regarding the situation.
The question is, would be the result of his madness once again win? Or will he be stopped? That is the question that many players are asking themselves this.
However, this issue obviously doesn't only concern players, since the people of that world are also the victims of the mad man rampages.
And they were now trying to prevent the rampage of the Doctor from happening again, just how it did in the Agion kingdom.
[Current location: First princes mansion.]
"Princess. Regarding the duke Magan, we he said he could possibly lend his hand in this, if we agree to his terms." – said the knight while handing a letter to the princess.
"…. Hm…... Good. I'm fine with everything here." – replied princes after reading the letter.
"Duke Magan is currently neutral, but him join our forces could somewhat increase the security of our settlements with his own connections and forces, as well as- "
Suddenly, the door to the room was burseted open by the young knight who entered the room while being covered in sweat.
"P-princess Elizabeth!" – said the panicking knight.
"T-the Doctor! He appeared again!"
"?!"
"Wait, what?!" – asked the confused knight who was in the room.
"Where?! Where is he?!"
"…. W-we don't know! But he just attacked a town and completely ruined them before we knew it and apparently, he already destroyed it and is also going around attacking other smaller settlements like villages!"
"…"
(What is going on?!) – though the very confused princess.
(Doesn't he need to rest up and prepare for each attack?! Why and how he is able to attack again so early?!)
(Something is wrong!)
"Fuck!"
"Send our forces! Send them and hunt that fucker now!"
The Elizabeth had send her own troops to the territory where the Doctor had supposed to have made an appearance…. But there was nothing.
Once again, the Doctor had disappeared and the only destruction remained.
"YOU STUPID BASTARDS!" – shouted the princess while breaking the wall with her fist.
"NOTHING?! NOTHING FUKING AGAIN?!"
"Not only that fucker appeared suddenly, but he also caused another genocide as well as total destruction."
"But we also did not obtained a single lead?!"
"How?! Why?! Why the hell you cannot fuking find anything?!"
"…."
"I…. I-I have no excuse…" – said the knight who was trying to avoid making eye contact with the princess.
"FUCK!" – shouted princess.
(What the actual hell is going on?! He attacked, again?!)
(How?! He shouldn't be able to!)
(Or by any chance we had it all wrong?!)
(Maybe he need way less time and resources to prepare his attacks?!)
(Or maybe somebody is really assisting him from behind and helping him recover much faster in order to attack again and again?!)
(FUCK!)
(Not only fuking that, but he is also disappearing without trace all the fuking time as well! How the hell he is doing that?!)
(Did somebody used a magic tool to warn him about us?! Does that mean we have a rat in our ranks?!)
(But then again, where he could possible go?! We need to find that bastards and-)
"Princess!" – shouted the knight that burseted into the room.
"…. Oh no." – said princess, who think she knows what is coming.
"The Doctor appeared again!"
"…."
"OH FOR FUCK SAKE!"
