Chapter 100 – Where is “Doctor”?

[Current location: Eruka city – The capital city of the Agion.][Specific location: Castle – Confederacy room.] "So…. Any news regarding the Dawn city?" – asked the orc nobleman. "Yes, the army is currently somewhat stabilizing the Dawn city after retaking it, but while inspecting the city, they found some bubbe traps placed in the city." – said the goblin nobleman with the monocle. "There were few injured people, but nobody had died. However, we will need to send even more supplies their way now according to the report."" "Hm?" "Wait, why?" – asked a young dark elf noble. "…." Read exclusive content at empire "Did you forget how monster filled place is right next to the city?!" – asked visible annoyed goblin. "For crying out loud, read a report at least you dumbass!" "The Dawn city was right next to the mountains filled with monsters." "Not only that, but the city sustained even more damage than we had imagined and there were also accident with some thieves lurking around, trying to loot the city." "We will need to use a lot of resources to somewhat repair the damage as well as reinforce the city." "And as for the other stuff regarding our culprit…" "We had already confirmed that there are no chimeras OR the Doctor present in the city, but we had to send many healers and medical doctors as well as researches to the Dawn city in order to see if the plague is there is still plague present and if so, we will have to deal with it. We cannot take any chances with when dealing with the plague in order not to spread it." "There is also the matter with recruiting new soldiers and- " "What about that guy?" – said suddenly old female dark elf noble. "That so called "Doctor"." "I know you said that you didn't found him or those monsters in the city, but were there any traces? Any leads? Anything that would tell us something about him or where he is?" "…." "Unfortunately not." – said the goblin with giant scar on his forehead. "We couldn't find any traces of him anywhere." "There is a good chance that the "Doctor" may have took off his mask and equipment and blended in with panicking crowd that ran away from the city, or may have used that entire chaos as cover in order to leave completely undetected." "Shit!" "I told you! We needed to investigate that whole incident with Min city!" – said angry elderly dark elf. "A straight up city was destroyed and on top of that the culprit was able to weaponize the fuking plague and some sort weird monsters made out of different people and other things?!"

Every single one of you lot!" "Madam Amber, please calm down." – said the timid orc noble. "Shut up!" "…." "Madam Amber is right." – said the tall figure sitting on the large throne. [King of the Kruak Agion] "We did not took action and instead argued between ourselves like idiots." – said the king who turned out to be an orc. "And now we have an extremely dangerous terrorist on the lose that we neither know where is currently are nor we know what his real face look like." "Not only that, but one of our most important city that was a source of income for the entire kingdom had been damaged and people were forced to flee." "Me. You all. And the kingdom the whole was affected." "Our income will be temporarily damaged until we recover and stabilize the situation with Dawn city." "However the problem is that the people are scared." "A doing of a single individual has destroyed two of our cities!" "And now he is somewhere out there, scaring our people!" "…." "Boost the defense of each town and city through the kingdom." "?!" "Wait, what?!" – said the young dark elf noble. "But if we do that- " "I know, I know. Money and money that." – said the orc king. "But do you really have any different option?" "If we don't do that, people will be still heavily affected by fear and you do realize if that were to happened, you all would suffer way bigger loses?" "So shut up and do it." "!" – the visible annoyed elf stared silently at the king before cowardly looking away. "…." *Sigh* "Let's continue our meeting." [After sometime passed, the meeting concluded and most of the nobles left the room.] "…Damit." - said the orc king while holding his head. "You are stressed, aren't you brat?" – said the elderly dark elf. "How can I be not?!" "My grandfather time ruling: Nothing but peace." "My father time of ruling: Nothing but peace." "And now my time of ruling: Some madman terrorist on the lose!" "Of all my rotten luck! We had so many years of peace, only for some madman to appear and spread plagues!" "But I don't even understand WHY!" "Our kingdom isn't extremely big or anything, if anything its small." "We aren't extremely rich either nor we have access to any special resources." "On top of that, there is also that terrorist "Doctor"." "What the hell is his even goal anyway?" "According to the informations from the adventures, that guy made a speech about him planning on killing everybody and destroying Dawn city." "Is that guy goal is just destruction?" "Or maybe some of the neighboring kingdoms decided to send that bastard our way to weaken us before attacking us?" "According to the old man Puck, the demi human kingdom right next to us have been acting pretty weirdly recently." "They are way bigger kingdom that us and they are way more powerful, so I don't really see them having any need to even use terrorist on us!" "If they wanted to, they could easily crush us!" *Sigh* "…" "Calm down you brat." – said the elderly dark elf. "I'm trying to…. But I can't!" "I never dealt with something like THAT!" "Well, neither your grandfather or father who took the peace as granted." – said the elderly dark elf woman while putting her hand on the worried king shoulder. "The bad thing would happen sooner or later, so better deal with it properly unless you want your child or the child of your child suffer this fate instead." "…." "You are right…. Sorry for seeing me in this pathetic state." – said the orc king while getting up. "We need to deal with that terrorist now, before something bad would really happened in the future." Several days had passed after the "Doctor" disappearance. The soldiers of the kingdom had already gotten to the desolated Dawn city and started repairing it. Its good news…. But also, the bad news. Like people feared and predicted, the "Doctor" had once again disappeared and nobody even knows where he is. The players that started in the Dawn city were already sick and tired of the "Doctor" and his bullshit, since he is straight up running their fun or randomly appearing and killing them, before then disappearing as if he didn't existed. However, many players saw this as an opportunity. People started looking and trying to find the "Doctor" or any informations about him. It wasn't just because of a sense of "Justice" or "Revenge", but money and glory. If you catch or expose the "Doctor", you will get fame from people, both NPCs and the players, while also receiving their praise as well as the rewards from the kingdom itself! But then again, people were also getting scared. Both players and NPCs. Many players kind of don't want to start in the Agion kingdom, considering that the "Doctor" had destroyed the previous starting locations in that kingdom, making less people starting in the Agion kingdom. As for NPCs? They feared him. The stories of his chimeras had spread far and wide, and now people have some sort of gist of what kind of creatures those chimeras are. Not only that, but there is also the fact that he wields plagues and nobody likes those. But the worst part is that he disappeared. Nobody knew where he was nor who he was. The king and his men had spread the world to fortify every single settlement just in case and that somewhat calmed people down…. But only somewhat. A lot of people were still scared about the "Doctor" possibly appearing right outside their doors. But, the situation somewhat improved. The players were looking around vigilantly for the traces of the "Doctor", while the kingdom was now doing something regarding the people safety. And while that was happening, the king and the nobles had held yet another meeting. "Okay… The situation has somewhat stabilized in the kingdom." – said the timid orc noble. "The people are scared… But by recruiting adventures for our search for the "Doctor", people now are somewhat relieved that he is being "Hunted down"." "The same goes to the Dawn city." "The plague that had infected the city did not seemed to be a long lasting, so the repairs of the city are somewhat going smoothly thanks to that." – said the goblin with monocle. "…." "?" "Is something is wrong?" – asked the goblin with the scar that noticed the orc king worried expression. "…." "Do we…. We still don't have any leads, don't we?" – asked the king. "…." "Not exactly." – said the goblin with the scar. "?!" "Wait, what?!" – said the king as he suddenly stood up. "The knights made a research around the Dawn city mountains and found out some sort of hidden hideout that was possible used by the "Doctor"." "The place was cleaned out of anything important, but it was definitely made recently AND it was even used somewhat recently." "There were also some traces as if a large group of beings were stored inside." "By the look of things, we managed to find where the "Doctor" made his preparations." "Wait…. So, you are telling me that the "Doctor" had made a hideout that he used as his base of operation?" – asked the elderly dark elf. "Precisely." "The location was to be more specific in the area where a lot of monsters as well as powerful monsters were living." – explained the goblin with the scar. "I had also looked into the informations about the city and paid some adventurers for the informations, it was worth." "The appearance of some of the monsters were somewhat similar to the monsters in the city reports." "I believe that the "Doctor" is using the areas with the high monsters concertation to build his base there in order to both hide himself and use the monsters there as his materials." "There is also the informations that those chimeras did not appeared in the city, but instead outside the city. According to one of the guards that had ran away, the chimeras attacked the gate used by merchants and miners." "The same goes for the Min city as well as the town they attacked." "He cannot bring those chimeras inside the city, but he has them prepared NEAR the city." "…." "True… Yes! It would explain how those monsters got so close to the settlement without anybody noticing!" – said the king. "They were already close, but they were hiding nearby!" "That guy probably had already made a new hideout and is probably hiding somewhere, making new bizzarro monsters." "However, we now maybe know his pattern!" "…." "Gigo. Please continue searching for any possible informations or clues about the Doctor in the Dawn city, but try to keep it maybe secret and don't spread the news about your discovery, YET!" "?" "Why not yet? Even if this is just a theory, it can still boost our chances to find the "Doctor"." – said the elderly dark elf woman. "Yes, but if we spread those news, the "Doctor" will also hear about them as well, right?" "I honestly believe that this whole theory about him having an hideouts outside the settlements that he uses to prepare for the attack WOULD make a huge sense, considering that he disappears for a long time after each attack he had committed. He needed to prepare and replace all monsters he made." – said the orc king. "In believe the Gigo theory, since it could explain many things all together." "But what if we announce it, we will force the "Doctor" to take action?" "What if we announce it now, the "Doctor" will take action and destroy another settlement?" "We don't want that." "Not only that, but during the Dawn city accident, the "Doctor" apparently just appeared in the city." "So the "Doctor" makes his first move, before the chimeras." "So, we will have to strengthen our checkpoints and gates." "This will obviously make things way harder for the "Doctor" and any possible people working with him." "And once we do that, we will announce the whole thing, the adventurers will start looking in the forests- " "And the "Doctor" would have no choice but take action by going early with his plan, but that would be a trap." – said the elderly dark elf. "Exactly!" – said orc king after snapping his fingers. "He will be corned and forced to take actions, but we would have already made some countermeasures." "And even if we fail to stop the "Doctor" from entering the city, his chimeras won't be able to fallow him AND he would be all alone." "There will be probably some casualties…. But it will be kept to minimum, if not have been completely prevented!" – said the goblin with monocle. "Magnificent!" "This is an excellent plant your majesty!" "Well, I only came up with just now, but I got to say, it is really good plan." – said the orc king. "Still, we cannot rush it yet, if we do, we will be the ones in real trouble." "Check things out in the Dawn city and that hideout, WE NEED ALL THE POSSIBLE CLUES AND LEADS!" "After that, we will start reinforcing the gates and checkpoints." "And after that we will announce our theories and findings to the public, making the "Doctor" and his allies panic, while also having the adventurers becoming our hounds that will hunt for us." "This is our plan." "But make absolutely sure to not speak about this with anybody, got it? We don't know if the people that the "Doctor" possible works for have some spies among our people." "This plan will determine the fate of kingdom." "So?" "What the hell are you all waiting for? GET TO IT!" "!" "Yes your majesty!" – replied all nobles. (You have messed up with the wrong people, you fuking psychopath!) – though the king to himself. (And now, tis time for you to get hunted down like the animal you are!)
