The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 238 - Preparation for Assault
...Farna Kingdom...
...City Forgia...
"What did you say? Requesting peace? Wh why? If with Luna's help, then we could just take over the entire Salvation region!" Shouted Angie astonishment.
"That's right. I can send thousands of soldiers easily. Although it's not as efficient as Alice's power as you said, but at least I can do it slowly." Connect Luna.
"Your ambition is too small as a king. Look, we're gonna help you conquer that kingdom and...." Clearly Inspiration.
Hearing various rants from some of the Rebellion Members, Arlond just silently listened.
After the atmosphere at this table became a little calmer, Arlond finally started talking.
"There are several reasons I don't want to take over the Kingdom of Salvation. First and foremost, our region is so far adrift that management will be a little more difficult.
Second, the former war will leave Salvation devastated and devastated. Fixing all of that would just be a waste of money.
Third, the people of the Kingdom of Salvation are not necessarily willing to accept their New King who lives even more often in Forgia.
The fourth and last. This act of peace will preserve my good image in the world and announce how cruel and terrible King Salvation Chris is.
Once peace is established, I will send hundreds of merchants and spies from elite soldiers and heroes to Salvation. The aim is to bring negative opinions to the whole population and people so that they will leave the Kingdom and hope, some will move to the Kingdom of Farna."
Such a long and wide explanation from Arlond ended with a simple sentence that made everyone aware.
"In essence, peace is more profitable for us."
Hearing such a long and wide explanation yet so clear and detailed, made all the Rebellion members gap except Angie. He smiled at Arlond's words.
"W-w.... Yeah, so yeah?"
"Haha.... I never thought the management of the Kingdom was so complicated."
"Too troublesome for me. I'd rather relax and enjoy this game."
"So the point is we just need to flatten Reinard and you'll take care of the rest, right?"
The rant of all the Rebellion members was heard again accompanied by a mild joke and laughter.
Finally, the discussion continues about the attack strategy that they will all do.
After several hours of discussion of the plan, the meeting was completed and all Rebellion members were welcome to stay and relax at the Palace of Forgia to wait for tomorrow.
On a balcony in the palace, Arlond was seen leaning while paying attention to the condition of the city of Forgia at night.
He still thinks about a lot of things that have not been resolved.
Although now the Farna Kingdom had stopped receiving impromptu attacks from Alice's skill, Arlond still could not calm down.
"Finance is still falling, plus I haven't opened a Mercenary Guild for these too many of my soldiers.... Huh...." Arlond complained to himself.
'Tap 'em! Aap!'
The sound of light footsteps could be heard approaching Arlond.
"What's up, Angie?" Arlond asked without even glancing back.
"How do you know it's me?" Ask Angie to wonder.
Hearing that, Arlond only smiled faintly as he spoke.
"In that meeting, you were the calmest as if you understood it the most. I'm sure sooner or later you'll meet me to discuss something else, given how ingenious you are."
"Haha.... Please, I'm not that great. But you were right. I came here because I wanted to discuss something very important."
"Don't beat around. Tell me what you want immediately." Reply Arlond briefly.
"Basic boring guy. Alright.... Tell me, do you want to have a deeper contract with my group?"
"Example?" Arlond asked as he slightly glanced at Angie in astonishment.
"If you would like to explain your relationship with the great witch named...."
"Rejected." Reply Arlond cut Angie's words.
"Ah.... So is that right? Well, that answer was also quite satisfying to me. But are you sure you don't want to know the rewards of my group?"
Hearing that answer, Angie simply smiled as she immediately left Arlond without giving a reply.
'Arlond is far more astute than he looks.... Well, it's no big deal. I just want to test it anyway.'
Angie kept walking further and further away and into the darkness of the room in the even day.
In his heart, a question arose that made him a little upset until now.
'Erik.... Who the hell are you, anyway? How powerful is your true influence in this virtual world? Although I want to believe that you have a very strong connection with the King of the Farna Kingdom, but your appearance seems like a fool and makes a lot of gaps as if against this possibility.'
Angie continued to dissolve in her own thoughts and has now been lying in her room to rest.

...Kingdom Salvation...
...Reinard city...
"Are you still unable to find Alice" asked a burly, blond man, Chris.
"I-I'm sorry, but we're still trying to find him." Reply to some of the people in front of him.
"Find it soon!"
"Good!"
Chris is seen sitting limp on his golden throne. He seemed to be holding his own head as if dizzy and filled with many thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Chris asked his most trustworthy representative.
"Neo, have you found Alice's whereabouts?"
"Dearly enough. No matter how much I try to search both in the virtual world and in the real world, I can't find its existence." Reply Neo while slightly lowering his head.
"I still can't understand why he left Salvation like that. Did I not treat him well? I've given him a lot of money, haven't I?" Ask Chris to himself.
But Neo who knew the truth behind it all just fell silent.
He did not want to say anything to the man he currently hated so much for locking him up with the contract chain.
In the end, even the Salvation Kingdom could only focus on finding the loss of their best war key. Forgetting the war that is still going on.
Even they did not realize in the slightest, that Farna had prepared to attack just tonight.

...Farna Kingdom...
...City Forgia...
In the middle of this army barracks field....
It looked like a very neat line of 2,000 elite soldiers. They had all gone through and survived the hellish training that was undertaken in the Treasure Dungeon.
With the help of the six Farna Heroes, all of these Elite troops had reached an extremely terrifying level that was level 200 more.
A number that should have been very difficult for the NPC to obtain, they had managed to reach in just 20 months in this Virtual world.
All those elite soldiers were wearing equipment that was at least an Epic level. All of them were the result of forging from the Origin Dungeon as well as the Iron Clever City, Forgia.
In the front row were seen again 19 people. Six of them were Farna's heroes, twelve were Angie's Rebellion members, and one was of course....
"Are you all ready?!" Asked Arlond in such a loud voice.
"Ready! Your Majesty!" Reply they're all in unison.
Simultaneously, Luna of the Rebellion immediately opened a portal that numbered around 100 portals.
Everything is located right in the middle of Reinard City with different positions.
His goal? Of course to give destruction evenly and suddenly.
All the soldiers including Arlond, Hero of Farna and Rebellion immediately ran through the portal.
With that, the second round of warfare began immediately.
