As I had to wait for these two messages, I opened my friend list and started warning everyone.
I asked them to notify me if strange things happened at any city or town they moved against. I also asked them to be extra careful, not to proceed and blindly attack like usual.
We had a new player in the game, and that player was already a deadly predator. Last thing I’d want is to lose any force of mine, not after going through all this trouble, time, schemes, and resources to nourish them.
The only one to ask for further details was that jumper. That bastard was a real pain in the as*, yet when coming to such fine details he was really superb.
He would never accept half assed info, always seeking for the full truth. That wasn’t just part of his personality, but it was what made him all special.
I explained what happened without delving towards the reason. He was new to such a race, making me realise they came a bit earlier than usual.
Yet the one who recognised them was none other than Hilary. This chick already went through unifying the entire world before and failed at the later challenges.
[This race is a real trouble, don’t lower your guard at all when dealing with them] she sent me only this before returning to her old self, [Last thing I want is for my man to lose his life over such a race. Just stay safe, and always know you are in my heart and my mind]
I closed the chat, chose to totally wipe out what she said off my mind. She was still fixated over repeating such unneeded stuff.
What? Were we kids or something? This wasn’t the time to act this way.
In fact I wanted to ask her more about that race, considering that she recognised it from the first message. Yet I refrained from doing so. I knew she would keep bothering me with her attitude and flirting words.
I was fed up with her seduction ways. And that was while she was away. What would happen if such a loose sexy lioness was by my side?
My earlier confidence about my ability to block her away started to shake. She wasn’t the kind of a girl to accept no for an answer, or even be silenced by shame or shyness.
Sigh, what did I get myself into exactly? Would I end up dying at the hands of one of my girls at the end or what?
I shook my head, powerlessly, while driving away such thoughts. It wasn’t time to get distracted by these useless things.
I had to wait and see what those Hector’s would do. If they decided to target me and my forces, then I’d have a hellish time to establish my kingdom here.
Even if I couldn’t make my boys enter the dungeon for now, I still got lots of time in the upcoming two quests. The top priority for me was to secure the two cities and the area around them, and start my big plan to evolve the human arsenal.
I just hoped for the defensive contractors I contacted via Karoline to honour their words. If not, then I’d end up with another big problem without doubt.
Just after waiting for an hour, the two gamers came from far away. From the look over their faces, I felt that something great just happened.
“What happened?” I welcomed their big smiles with this question.
“The post… It went viral!” Lilith laughed in a sweet way before adding, “many recognised you from the video you once shared.”
“Damn! I totally didn’t recognise you at first,” Will said and I could only helplessly smile.
Come on! I haven’t changed that much since that video. I grew in strength, had much more forces following me as a personal army, but that didn’t change anything in my features and looks.
“So many are willing to cooperate?” I asked and unlike what I expected, the two shook their heads at the same time.
“They want to know more about the conditions of this deal,” Will said, “for example some asked if you are going to give them support only once or is it a repeated thing? Others are also wondering about the details of the work you’ll ask them to do.”
Pretty smart indeed. These guys didn’t waste their time and asked the right questions from the start.
“First, do you have their locations?” I asked, as this was the first thing that I had interest towards.
As they asked what they thought highly of, I also had to ask what I regarded highly in return.
“Well… We didn’t speak about such things,” Lilith seemed to be startled when I said my question.
“Alright, tell them that I’ll give them a welcoming gift, just like what I gave to you. Then according to their actions and achievements in the tasks I’ll give them, I’ll reward them accordingly,” I started answering their questions, while the other two kept nodding as if they were recording or memorising what I was saying to the heart.
“As for the nature of the tasks, it varies from simple missions to seek more humans and save them, towards big missions as to take control over entire parts of the places they live in. they will have to take control over many cities and towns, tighten their defences and be sure they wouldn’t lose anything they gained.”
“That’s all?” Will asked in doubt, and I shook my head.
“I can’t really specify all the types of missions. After all there are basic things, and things that would pop up according to the current stage of the apocalypse and the events happening here.”
“I understand,” Lilith said but I hurriedly stopped her from writing anything at the forum. I just remembered an important issue.
“You have to warn them that during the upcoming two quests, any forces related to me will be punished by sealing their stat points and not gaining any quests from the system.”
“What?!!!” The two literally jumped in fright.
