[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor-Chapter 429 - 428 – Crumbling empire.

<<Welp… After conquering the Cross city, one of the five holy cities and rescuing our allies the dragons, the war just continued.>>

<<But things were now much different.>>

<<The faith of the people of the empire started wavering, which in turn ended up weakening the empire as whole.>>

<<Not only that, but that weakness of faith allowed the vampire infestation to take a hold as more and more people ended up succumbing to the vampirisms.>>

<<Not only that, but according to the reports, the fallowers of Hell ended up showing up.>>

<<I bet they are thinking that this is their opportunity and they wouldn't want to waste it.>>

<<So yea…. The holy empire is fucked in a way… But obviously the war is nowhere near close being finished.>>

<<The empire is massive and powerful.>>

<<Even though we have dragons on our side and vampires themselves have been heavily equipped with their new equipment, the holy empire still stood on its legs.>>

<<Not only that, a large number of players from the heaven faction ended up joining in, including the players that are not part of 5 elemental faction.>>

<<So yea. The conquest isn't as fast as people think nor we really have an easy time.>>

<<However, we are still winning most of our fights... Well, "US".>>

<<The dragons on the other hand…. They…. Okay, they are getting somewhat fucked.>>

<<I mean, they are strong and everything, but it is clear that they are struggling sometimes.>>

<<Still, they are able to push…. But by the looks of things the enemy is still aiming to take down the dragons, so sometimes we needed to offer an aid to them.>>

<<However->>

"Okay, this is stupid." – said "Kid".

[Current location: Sky Behemoth – Main desk]

"I know dragons became pathetic with a passing years as they gave into their sloth and pride, but they are still fucking dragons!"

"True…. This is abnormal." – said the vampire general.

"No matter how we look at it, the dragons became way too weak."

"….Or maybe it is other way around."

"The dragons did become weaker, yes. But at the same time the holy empire has become much more powerful."

"…"

(Betrayal?) – thought the vampire king who was doubtful of the dragons.

(True…. There is a high chance of that happening…. But I don't think they are dumb enough to do it right now and with this method.)

(If they are intentionally losing to prolong the war and have both sides suffer, then they are idiots that are forgetting the fucking fact that they are also the ones fighting.)

"…"

(Still, this is going to wreck their already shattering pride even further.)

(Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these stupid lizards would demand a "full control" or some shit, which would result in the infighting spreading around.)

"…"

"Well, the dragons are doing worse than we had thought, but they are still doing their job."

"This is the fact that we cannot ignore."

"And without them being here, we would have no way of conquering the whole holy empire on our own."

"By the way, what is the situation on our frontlines?"

"Well, I've just contacted that bastard Doctor and his friends." – said the vampire general.

"They had already conquered the city, which means our path had been opened up."

"However, I want to understand something."

"Why are we aiming for second holy city instead of the capital city?"

"….Well, simple, isn't it?" – replied the "Kid".

"We can't win."

"Simply put, even with our forces and with the dragon help, we will never be able to truly conquer the whole capital city."

"Not only that place is also a holy city, but is also the main beacon that connect that place with heavens AND it is also the very main symbol of the holy empire."

"The entire city…. No…. The entire territory where the city is located is straight up under the heaven itself direct line of influence."

"There, that goodness of light can abuse her powers as much as possible."

"So, in order to not get fucked and have even ability to touch this place, we need to take down the four out of five holy cities that empowering the holy empire."

"After that and only then we will have ability to launch an attack on the capital city."

"….But if we do this in this manner, we would need to traverse the whole empire in order to even destroy all 3 cities that are still not under our rule." – stated the general.

"However, isn't all key locations of the holy empire protected with the Great Barrier?"

"This alone makes things complicated for us."

"Can the dragons break the Great Barrier on their own?"

"Hm…. Probably they can." – replied the vampire king.

"They are dragons, so they should have enough fire power if they focus."

"However, the problem is that the enemy will definitely go after them the moment we split up."

"So we cannot target two locations at the same time."

"…That means we will need to move alongside the dragon army…. This will take days, weeks or maybe even months in worst case scenario." – replied the vampire general.

"Well, better safe than sorry." – said "Kid".

"But we also should consider the fact that the demonic forces joined in and that the holy empire will not just sit around and wait to get beaten up. They will definitely try to pull some bullshit sooner or later."

"There is also the four children of the holy emperor that are still left."

"We need to get them out of the picture if we want to shatter the faith of the people that they had in the emperor."

"But it wouldn't be surprising if they just stayed holed up inside the capital city for the rest of the war….. Oh well, that would work out for us as well."

"Anyway, control. Start up."

"It is time to move."

With each passing day, with each passing battle the territory of the once glorious holy empire started shrinking.

Madness, slaughter and corpse filled the map from the countless conflicts…. Yet the organization did not stopped.

Sometimes they slowed down as the holy empire launched their own counterattacks or when the demonic factions tried to sabotage the forces of the organization…. But that only worked for a moment.

The army of monsters marched through the empire…. Before then arriving at their destination.

The second holy city.

The massive scale siege took place and once again, the children of the holy emperor took part in it.

However, it didn't mattered.

This time no surprise attack was launched from underground, aiming to destroy the main ritual crystal.

The reason was simple. The enemy this time was aware of the fact that the vampires somehow managed to get past the Great Barrier, but they didn't knew how.

But there was no problem whatsoever.

Even with the power of the Daughter Of Mercy, there was a time when the barrier finally reached it limit as both the armies of the vampires and the dragons joined up, assaulting the barrier with their combined force.

The barrier shattered over and over again as it was repaired…. But at one point, the barrier ended up reaching its limit, resulting in its complete devastation… Which in turn resulted in the same outcome as before.

The entire city was overwhelmed and then conquered.

The children of the holy emperor managed to once again escape with their lives…. But the holy city ended up being taken over.

And with it, not only the power of the holy empire weakened, but so did faith of the people.

Some people screamed, some people begged, some people prayed…. And some people just gave up into vampirisms, deciding their own survival over the faith.

And the organization? They rode the way of momentum and pushed forward. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

More days went by and more of the holy empire territory has been conquered…. And once again like before, they completely avoided the holy capital city, instead they marched towards the third holy city and conquered it.

Which ended up only weakening holy empire power even further.

And with that, there is only one holy city left.

And with its fall, the holy capital will be finally vulnerable.

"…"

"This ain't good." – said Coin.

"They conquered already the third holy city."

"See? I fucking told you they wouldn't be able to hold them off for long enough!" – said pissed off Mara.

"Yea… Yea… Tch." – replied annoyed priestess player.

"…Anyway…. What do we do now?"

"As much as it annoys me to admit it, the holy empire is straight up done for."

"Even if we were to lent our hand to them, they would still lose."

"Yea… This is pure bullshit." – said Mordred.

"I mean, you all saw from the ship how fucked up vampires have become?!"

"Planes, guns, tanks and all sort of shits…. Honestly, I don't even know how that bastard Phantasia was even able to bring those things into the game."

"It doesn't matter." – said Arthur.

"Our goal is not to fight the holy empire or the organization."

"Our object is simple."

"As long as we archive it, we will be the winners in the end."

"…."

"Well, I say that, but I rather not deal with both of these bastards at the same."

"So we better hurry."

"We need to get to the capital city before these bastard do."
