MMORPG: Rise of The Dungeon Master.

Chapter 144 City Situation

Grave glanced at the empty hall.

"Sir, there is only the Branch manager present in the hall." a voice came from the reception.

He turned around to look at the NPC receptionist. She pointed up at the second floor and said, "The manager is preparing for the big meeting." He nodded and walked up to the second floor.

As he moved close to the door.

"DAMN What can I do now?" A loud shout came behind the door. Gaver widen his eyes, he did not know what was going on, but it sure looked out of control.

He pushed open the door only to find fatty laying on the ground. The branch manager turned to the door. He had black eyes and unkempt hair.

"Sir, you are here." The branch manager got up and rushed to him. "Sir, we need to do something."

"Hold on!" he walked into the room and sat down on the chair, looking around at the half-destroyed room. He knew that it was time to step in.

He looked at the branch manager and asked, "What happens in these couple of hours that you need to call this meeting?"

"Sir chaos fall upon us." the branch manager stared into his eyes and said, "The last 2 families also stopped supporting us, only the main noble family left in our support, a second attack happened on the lifestyle players, and their death reached up to 50+ now. The Razer guild completely folds out of the city duties. We don't have that many players to cover the city management task."

The branch manager took a breath and said in a desperate tone, "Sir, if we fail to manage the city, even the main family will back away from supporting us."

He nodded his head. This did not surprise him much. All of this matches the pattern the Blaze guild used to cripple the city management before they attack. It would be no problem with any other time, as Abyss could just send more players to the city, but now it was not possible.

'A perfect plan preparation that utilizes the main event and left with no way to walk out.' It removed all the small doubts he had. He was sure that for that, the Blaze guild would attack the city. They used the main event in the Algoma kingdom in their favor.

He asked the branch manager, "Hey manager what's the main event situation in other kingdoms?"

The branch manager stared at him with his mouth wide open. "Sir city is about to get destroyed and you care about what is going on in a different kingdom. Did YOU LOSE your mind?"

Grave ignored him and said to himself, "I know what Hazel Kingdom's main event is about rebels war, then the last one, the Preach Kingdom…" he glanced up, "What is the Preach Kingdom's main event about?"

The branch manager stared at him with red eyes for a few mins and then shook his head, "It's over, everything over. I don't know why they give you control, but all my hard work will go down the drain. I can see that-"

"Shut up fatty!" he said in annoyance and opened the forum to search. The Algoma, Hazel and Preach in these 3 kingdoms The Blaze guild had started its 30 war in his last life.

Now, although there might be a change or 2 in city selection he doubted that the Blaze guild would change the kingdoms.

"Oh, Intra species war," he mumbled as he stared at the main event prediction of Preach kingdom.

The Preach kingdom was ruled by Elves, and the player in that kingdom started as elves. The guild in the preach kingdom did not cause any problems for the Blaze guild in his last life.

There was a mid-size guild that defended a tier 2 city against the Blaze guild, but then they got cold feet finding the Blaze guild power and they practically surrender the city in the next round to the Blaze guild.

'Mmm, I don't think involving the Preach kingdom is safe for me.' He did not know if elves could sense the world tree seed or not, but he wanted to avoid them. Then the only option left for him was the Hazel kingdom.

He was a little concerned about the timing at which the Blaze guild attacked the city. Just wanted them to choose to attack the Gazi city at the start or mid. He knew once the Guild understood the Balze guild's danger, they would completely abandon the city. He did not want that kind of situation to rise.

'Let's hope the Blaze attack that hazel city. Those guys would be perfect partners against the Blaze.' he thought to himself and then asked the branch manager, "What will happen if the main noble family stopped their support."

The branch manager said in depression, "Our guild loss the extra benefit we receive, we will not get the sufficient task for every one of our players, and worse all the nobles might support a different guild that will ultimately decrease our power and then guild war will end us."

"Mmm, so the major problem are we lose tasks and money-making capability right?"

The branch manager nodded his head.

Grave looked at him and asked, "Do you have any way to arrange a meeting between all the nobles and me?"

The branch manager shook his head. "I tried so many times, but receive no response from the nobles' side."

Grave looked at him in confusion. "why the hell are all the families suddenly taking an interest in guilds? If I remember correctly, you said that noble family never shows interest in guilds but only in the guild war, then what about this situation?"

He did not know much about guild working, but from all the information that he gathered, it was very weird that suddenly all the nobles started supporting the Balze.

'Is it faith in the sun, god? I doubt those greedy bastards had any interest in the sun god. I don't think it's thrown either, as the Blaze guild never took part in any of the main events.' He did not know about all this as he read nothing related to guilds in his past life.

The branch manager looked down, "I don't know, it was like someone ordered them to stop supporting us and they are following these orders."

He looked up at the ceiling and asked in a low voice, "Branch manager I don't think the main family will support us for much time."

The branch manager also nodded his head, "Yeah, it's all over for us."

'Clicked!,' he clicked his tongue and said, "Nah, it's not over till we lose the war."

The branch manager shook his head, "Sir war will become a formality for us, all the elites are already called out by the guild." he looked down and said, "and that's not all, they even call half of the lifestyle players from the city."

Grave nodded his head and asked, "why don't we stop doing tasks altogether?"

"WHAT!" The branch manager stared at him.

He looked into his eyes and said, "Their no point doing tasks when the city is about to go out of our hands."

The branch manager shook his head, "Sir, doing tasks is the major source to get the coins, resources, and then NPC reputation."

"But what is the point of these in case we lose the city?"

The branch manager asked with a frown, "We don't have any second option, sir. We need a lot of resources to make sure the guild work properly. Doing a certain amount of tasks is the only way to get those resources."

Grave shook his head. "Nope, there is one more way to get these resources."

The Branch manager looked at him in confusion, "what is this method, sir?"

"Pk-ins," he said casually.

"puff," the branch manager shook his head, "and here I thought you have a brilliant idea."

Grave smiled at him, then got up and started walking out of the room.

The branch manager shouted at him, "Where are you going?"

"In the meeting," he said in a low tone.

"What is the point of going there when you have no plans?" the branch manager shook his head, "stop dreaming about Pk-ins."

"I will tell you the detailed plan in the meeting."

The branch manager helplessly nodded and followed behind him. Both of them walked out to the outer edge of the city, near the barracks.

As Grave reached there, he found 1000s of players assembled, whispering among themselves. A grim atmosphere around the whole ground. Grave and the branch manager walked to the front and Grave said loudly, "all you stop talking among yourself. "

He turned to the branch manager, who was staring at him with a confused face. Grave said with a smile, "Branch manager, no need to be so serious. Just keep following my command and you will be good."

The branch manager stared at him for a few moments and then nodded his head. It frustrated him to be the manager of the abandoned city. He knew if the guild lost the city, all blame would place on him and he would get demoted. He looked up at Grave and decided to push all the blame on Grave in the future.

This lift his mood a little and the branch manager said with a smile, "I will help you to my best," saying that the branch manager came forward and shouted, "All you guys let me introduce you to the new city leader, Sir Grave."

'Clap! Clap!' A few people in the front clapped with the branch manager while others just stared at him.

Grave gazed at the branch manager and shook his head with a smile on his face. He could guess the fatty thought, but as it allied with his intention, he let the fatty lead.

The Fatty continued, "Guild master gave sir the full control over the city till the main event finished, so follow sir's command like mine."

All the players nodded their heads.

The branch manager continued, "You guy-"

He cut him and said, "Stop it, let me take over from here."

The branch manager nodded his head and moved back.
