The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 144 - The First Step
“What did you say?!” Shouted Evan with eyes glaring at me.
“I told you. We have to get an absolute win from Celestine and Julia.” Briefly said.
“I was right to say that I asked for your help but…. Obtained an absolute victory? I guess it was...” Reply Evan.
“I have over 2 million troops ready to fight at any time.” My reply cuts Evan's words.
“Hah?! How is that possible..”.
Before Evan finished speaking, I cut him back as if I knew what he was going to say.
“But like you, I move slowly and silently. You're too flashy, Evan. But it's not a bad thing. Before proceeding to my plan, do you have to build this City of Death on the ground? Can you do it underground?” Tanyaku.
“I can build it anywhere. It's just that if on the surface it will be easier to attack in various places.” Evan.
“Included is also known to people! But, glad to hear it. Now...”
I also explained in detail what I had planned.
First.
Me and Evan must obtain an absolute victory where Celestine and Julia could not give any further attacks. But I don't plan to invade their territory. What is that victory for?
Of course for negotiation points. Immediately after obtaining the absolute victory, I…. More precisely only Evan would propose a peace.
The conditions are simple, which is to let Evan and his Undead live in his own small area, precisely in the City of Lesta in the South. If fulfilled, then Evan will give peace to the world.
If they accept it, then I will build more new Dungeons underground for Evan's Necropolis.
That peace also meant a lot to me and Evan to prepare for the next battle. I am very sure that the Goddess named Celestine and Julia will definitely be back on the move as soon as the peace period is over.
If not accepted? Of course Evan and I will mobilize all the troops we have to flatten their entire territory.
Second one.
I will give 2 ancient books and also 1 legendary book to the person I currently trust and will play the most important role in this plan.
The ancient book I chose?
[Ancient Book – Heroic King]
Effect: Giving Skills : Heroic King and Techniques : Kingdom Management to the reader. I plan to give this book to Arlond because in a moment, the plan to appoint him as king will be finished soon.
The reason why I didn't plan on giving it to Chris was very simple. Even though Chris and I were quite friendly, and even allied, but I didn't know which side he would take after knowing I chose to join Evan.
What's more, Chris' side is currently too strong. Not only Alice and Neo, it seems that he has obtained an ancient book user from former Seven Star member, Archie. His abilities as a Mystic Bard had increased the military might of the Salvation Kingdom to the heavens.
If only Chris would side with humanity and not me…. It would be too hard to fight it.
As for Arlond? I was very confident that he would follow my entire plan with pleasure. Well, anyway…. He gained a huge advantage by following him.
[Ancient Book – Astronomers]
Effect: Giving Skills : Astronomers and Techniques : Astrology to the reader. I'm planning on giving this book to Lucien. His reason? Since Lucien was always talking about the prince of darkness and the obscure gods, I planned to give him this.
After all, I feel that this skill is quite unique and definitely has great strength.
As for the [Legendary Book - Ancient Desert Dragon’s Footwork] I will give it to Elin. I firmly believe that his abilities as an Assassin will shine even more with the effects of this book.
Soon after that, they will carry out their respective roles.
Elin plays an Assassin who will assist Lucien in executing the King and the entire royal family as soon as possible. I'll call Elin as soon as I do.
Lucien will focus on being my secret weapon. He will carry out various secret missions that only a few people can do.
While Arlond will become a new King in the puppet state under the power of Origin. Of course, he would still get an incredible profit from it.
As soon as peace is made, Arlond as King must support this peace decision. Including giving an example that life beside Evan's Undead is not dangerous. Of course, because Arlond is on my side.
But in doing so, Arlond must complete the procession of himself becoming King in less than 3 weeks of Re:Life world time. Or rather. 2 days of real-world time.
‘Temper Arlond. I will support you as hard as I can.’ I said in my heart as soon as I explained that.
And Evan? He seemed to be watching the map and the files I was giving him seriously. Really, was this the same lunatic I met in the cave at the time?
Then the third and final step.
Disappear from this world. Or perhaps more precisely is reducing the actions that can trigger attention as much as possible. The actual activity will be done underground.
I also have plans to spread my wings to the Underworld. But I don't know how to….
“That's why I should be able to enter the territory of Julia Theocracy as well as the Avertia Empire, Eric. I plan to use some of their artifacts to create a world gap or World Rift and enter the Underworld.” Evan was clear as soon as he heard my explanation of the Underworld.
“Is it possible to do?” Many wonder.
“Maybe, if I can get 2 more artifacts. I currently have 3 artifacts in my hand. At least, that's what Lilith told me.” Reply Evan.
Honestly, that's a good thing. But….
“With your plan, then we will not be able to enter the Underworld for a while. But I don't have a problem with that. You're right if I've been too hasty all this time.” Evan.
“So…. Did you accept my proposal?” My question's short.
“Only one condition.” Reply Evan.
“What is it? Just say.”
“You said you wanted to build an Underground Kingdom with the Monsters and also my Undead right? Once we have the power to fight the whole world, then we will attack and begin to rule the world. You can take as many treasures as you want. How?” Evan with a sharp look.
“Of course. All the preparations that we will do from today are for the sake of mastering the world right?” Reply with a big smile.
“Hahaha…. Good though. Now, can we start the preparations?” Evan asked as he immediately stood up from his seat.
“But before that, Lucien…. Deliver all the plans just now to Arlond. Besides, this book is for you. Give the other two books to Arlond and Elin. Remember, Elin will receive the book with this golden cover. I'll call him in the real world later.” I said while removing Lucien from the effects of Assimilation.
“Really, it is an incredible honor to receive the power of this ancient book My Lord. Immediately I will carry out your orders, my lord.” Reply Lucien while kneeling.

Next day….
In a magnificent castle, there appears a Knight with shiny silver armor, a large shield that is beautiful and decorated with gold grooves, and a sword that looks like a legendary holy sword. Arlond was a Knight who was able to obtain the title of Count in just a few months.
“Isn't that Mr Arlond?”
“He looks gallant as always!”
“Do you guys know? Reportedly He just hunted thousands of Skeleton Warriors alone!”
“Only? Isn't that too much?!”
“I speak as is! The merchant entourage saved by him who told him that!”
“Really, how strong is Mr Arlond really? I can only admire him more.”
There were small conversations of some nobles who saw Arlond. Even so, Arlond seemed not to hear it and continued to walk gallantly. Every now and then, he looked over and gave his greetings.
‘Tap. Taps. Tap.’
Arlond kept his feet in the throne room of the King of Triassic.
As soon as he arrived before the King, Arlond immediately knelt down.
“Count Arlond's. The reason I called you is quite simple. The Holy Kingdom of Celestine and the Theocracy of Julia had given absolute orders. Help them to finish off all the Undead, including their leader named Evan. I'll give you the right to lead that entire army to you.” Said the King.
“How about General Agmar, Your Majesty?” Ask Arlond.
“The man was already unbelievable and was only able to deliver defeat. Therefore, I chose you. Of course, I will give you a reward worth.” King of Triassic.
“I will return by presenting victory to you, Your Majesty.”
