chapter-286-1
The structures that have popped up on the main world signaled the start of the war with the undead. At first the undead players were confused because they did not think that there would be two factions of undead. They thought that the Undead War was about the war between the living and the undead but it was actually a literal war of the undead.
Another interesting fact was that Undead players could not easily join guilds allied with kingdoms since they are exterminate on sight kill order. Those who also changed their race to undead have been automatically kicked out from their guild as Undead are considered the enemy of the living.
This is also one of the reasons that Adrian is being careful of being recruited by a guild because his race would be automatically seen once he joins one. He would be able to get accepted but once he is accepted then he would be immediately kicked out because of his race.
The guild system is also adapted from the real world so people of a race that is in opposition of each other would not be able to be in one guild. The rules are laxer in the empire but they still do not consider demon, devils, and undead as people amongst other races.
Even if the demons are considered as neutral forces, they are considered monsters by other kingdoms due to the propaganda. Even the Undead faction of the Undead King are just considered as undead to be exterminated despite their faction not attacking the kingdoms near the citadel.Due to the undead players being considered monsters, the Player Killer (PK) System does not apply to them but that also goes both ways because the undead players could kill them without punishment. The players that are killing each other are also getting experience points based on the level of the other party.
The undead are now building up their forces for the imminent clash that is about to happen but the kingdoms with living inhabitants are preparing as well. The kingdoms that meet hallway between the two undead forces are in a state of alert as they thought that the two undead factions are allied.
This rumor that the two undead forces are allied are soon erased because the spies and scouts sent have seen skirmishes between the two forces. They are not a hundred percent sure about this information because they think that the undead are being raised in a survival of the fittest scenario.
The kingdoms with living people would have not been in a state of alert if the holy churches were not attacked. The loss of the Church of Life took a big toll on the people because they are at the forefront when it comes to the battle against the undead. The Church of Life are also one of the most charitable religious factions as they give free medicine and heal sicknesses for free.
The damage on the holy churches are also not small so they are still reorganizing their personnel as of now. The weak living people are now at the mercy of the strong which is now lacking as some do not care if kingdoms get wiped out.
In a kingdom under alert that is near the Undead King's Citadel, a young boy with a dark blue hood can be seen with a huge person with four arms at his left and a floating ghost at his right. The guards stationed at the kingdom's walls immediately sounded the alarm once they caught sight of the three.
"Is it really necessary for us to form a working relationship with this human kingdom, Prince? They are rather trivial and barbaric to immediately label us as monsters despite not being under attack by us." Du'an stated as he does not like associating with close minded people."An alliance would be the best but a treaty that says they will not attack use just by passing by their kingdom would suffice. It is only human to fear what they do not understand as they do not know the blessing of eternal life. The blessing is not for everyone after all as some would like to return to the cycle of reincarnation after living a life of fulfillment." Creepysoo stated as he flexed his dignified aura.
"The prince is right. We do not need to be surrounded by enemies that will strike us anytime we are unprepared. Although I agree with you my prince, a treaty will not stop those greedy or scared people from attacking us. A piece of paper will not stop them from being our enemies." Valar stated as he crossed both pair of arms.
"We will not invoke a simple treaty Valar. We will invoke the Goddess of Justice's Oath." Creepysoo stated which greatly shocked the two as they know the ramifications of such oath.
"That is too risky my prince! Has the king agree to what you are planning?" Du'an asked as the Goddess of Justice's Oath is not simple.
"It was my father who suggested it but do not worry. The oath will not be eternal but will have a time limit. We just need to become more powerful than the other faction or else we will lose this war.
The Daemos will not interfere unless a dark god will be present on the other side. Plus, this is our war to begin with. We must recover the dignity of the undead." Creepysoo stated in a serious tone as he knows the Undead King's faction lack fire power.
If they managed to get a treaty of non-aggression with this kingdom then they would have bigger hunting grounds. The thing that they lack the most is resources to level up new players. Creepysoo aims to fix this using a diplomatic approach.
If the kingdoms next to them agree then they will help in their problems but if not then they would not care of their plight. The undead follow a code of honor. They lift those that accepts their hand and turn away to those that ignore it.
