[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor-Chapter 260 - 259 - Akaramaria kingdom VS Ariona church – Part 16.

"…."

"Would you mind repeating what did you just said?" – asked pope.

"…."

"The…. The general…. The general has been slain…. The city has been taken over. The underground temple had been deactivated, presumably destroyed and both of the divine beast….. Were killed in action alongside the entire army." – said the nervous messenger.

"…."

*Sigh*

"?" – the messenger saw the fire raising around him.

Moment later, the column of the holy fire consumed the messenger as he screamed in agony right in front of all other priest that stared terrified until the men entire corpse turned to nothing more than ashes and his screams were no more.

"…."

"Can somebody care to explain to me, WHY THE HELL THAT HAD HAPPENED?!" – asked furious pope.

"General. Army. City. Temple. AND EVEN TWO DIVINE BEAST! WHY!?"

"HOW INCOPETEND ARE ALL OF YOU?!"

"3 OUT OF 20 DIVINE BEAST ARE NOW DEAD!"

"I WANT AN EXPLANATION! NOW!"

"…." – none of the priest dares to spoke up, realizing that if they were to say anything, they would end up the same way as the messenger.

"…."

"Where is the head general?" – asked furious pope.

"H-he is at the frontlines…. Just as you instructed him to." – said the nervous paladin.

"…."

"Remove any remaining forces from the frontlines and completely focus on defending out territories. We cannot allow ANY MORE TEMPLES TO GET TAKEN OVER AND DESTORYED! YOU HEAR ME?!"

"THE HOLY VESSEL NEEDS TO BE CREATED!"

[Sometime later: Vampire camp.]

"So, they moved all of their forces away?" – asked vampire general as the meeting was taking place.

"Yes sir. All of the church forces had completely retreated and focused only on defending the settlements near the frontlines as well as cities that has the underground temples. Any other settlement had been completely abandoned." – said the vampire soldiers.

"Not only that, but it seems they are forcing civilians such as farmers to become soldiers in order to boost the cities defenses even more."

"Huh… They are foolish, aren't they?" – asked the general.

"What about the atmosphere? Any rumors or stuff about the deserters?" – asked Doctor.

"Yes. There is an situation going on." – replied the vampire soldier.

"It seems that overall strength of the divine beast had noticeable weaken after the lost of the second temple, alarming the soldiers and scaring them."

"Not only that, but the news regarding the two divine beast had been spread as intended, resulting in the church morals dropping drastically."

"Not only that, but we managed to find out that the church is trying to make the holy vessel as soon as possible, according to the captured soldiers. By the look of things that panic made it easy for the information to leak."

"Good. With this the first phase of preparations is over." – said the general.

"Still, isn't this bad news? I mean, they are already making the vessel, are they not?" – asked the vampire knight.

"No. I don't this is an bad thing." – said Doctor.

"They desperately moved all of their forces and even completely stopped any form of attacks at all, only to focus on the defense."

"These guys are nowhere near finishing the holy vessel."

"Yes. It would seem so." – said the general.

"We have time… But lets not take it easy. If we prolong this for far too long, they will finish the vessel and we will have an annoying enemy to deal with."

"We need to deal with the new holy vessel before it will be too late."

"Still, our plan is working."

"With the church forces moved out of the way, we can now find an weak spot and break though the enemy lines."

"And the best way to break though is using the path that had been abandoned by the church."

"If we were to avoid an path that is nowhere near settlements where the temples are located…. Then it would be here." – said Hunter while drawing the path with her finger.

"Yea. We can use that path." – said the general.

"Still, the church will realize something is off. They maybe stupid, but even they will realize that we are planning something if we move in with large army."

"Instead, we will use an small army of high ranking elites to traverse quickly through the church territory and reach their main base."

"The goal is simple. Take down both the pope and the holy vessel. With them gone, the church will lose hopes of winning at all."

"So, how are we breaking?" – asked vampire knight.

"Are we going to stage another assault and create an crack in the enemy lines?"

"No. It will be too obvious. Instead, we will create an distraction." – replied general.

"The main army will be equipment with the demonic cannons and they will use them to attack this city. Okal."

"While our main army will be attacking the city, we will go around it while they are distracted and go past it. However, obviously we can't make it too obvious that somebody broke through, so we will lead an portion of the main army with us and make it look like they are the ones behind wiping out the forces here and they are launching an surprise attack from the side."

"This will give an illusion effect and make so that the enemy won't realize that we had broken though."

"Koran. I will leave you in charge of this operation. I cannot participate in it, since I will be the one leading the troops and my abbesses could alarm the church forces."

"Doctor. Hunter. You two will take part in operation, but Doctor. Is it possible to lend us some of your monsters? Around half?"

"If you are talking about nightmare toys and the chimeras, yes. I can lend you them." – said Doctor. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Good. The enemy is wary of you, so its better if we make them think that you are with main army." – replied general.

"Anyway…. This is the overall plan."

"Any questions?"

"I have one." – said Hunter while raising her hand.

"We know that the church will be using the divine beast around the frontlines and the temples, but is there an chance that we will find this enemy around the enemy main base?"

"Well, there is an chance, but don't you have the guy that killed two of these birds on his own?" – said the vampire soldier while looking at the Doctor.

"Yes. I can kill them. But the problem is with the range." – replied Doctor.

"I could only kill the birds once they let their guard down and were close enough for me to attack."

"The goodness herself is using her divine beast to observe surroundings, meaning that what the bird, so the goodness."

"She may order her divine birds to retreat and try to not engage in fight with me."

"Well, we have some different weapon just in case. But I don't know if it would next time."

(Thanatos rocket launcher is strong, but the problem is that the rocket itself needs to charge up before getting fired and it cannot rapidly fire. Still, it can wound the divine beast…. But can it wound the divine beast on its own to either destroy the wing or knock it down?) – though Doctor.

"Well, we don't know anything, but we will still have to go with this plan." – said the general.

"We also should start preparing."

"While the church is still at the state of complete confusion, its an perfect time to attack and easily break through."

"Prepare for our departure and inform the king about our movement, but remember to not tell him about our main plan."

"Yes sir!" – replied vampire messenger.

And so, the forces of the organization and the kingdom had started their preparations for the assault against the church.

With the last crushing defeat of the church forces, the confidence that once church had has started slowly crumbling, causing the fear to spread among, while the kingdom had grown confided in their victory.

However, this panic had also caused the entire invasion force of the church to retreat and focus solely on the defense, resulting in multiple siege battle occurring.

However, thanks to the divine beast support, the church forces were still able to somehow hold back the enemy.

But now the organization had yet again launched their attack, this time on the city of Okal, forcing the church in panic to send additional reinforced to the city.

However, unaware to them, the siege that was taking place was nothing more than distraction.

"…."

"Okay. It seems that the enemy isn't suspecting anything." – said Hunter on top of the tree while using an telescope to observe an battle between the church and the organization forces taking place.

"You sure everything is okay?" – asked the male vampire knight named Koran as the vampire soldiers were finishing off the church soldiers.

"Yeb. They are not even aware yet about the attack force that was send just now." – said Hunter while getting off the tree.

"Hey boss. Done here." – said Doctor while approaching the vampire.

"Do you want to leave these corpse? Or do you want me to raise them as undeads?"

"Leave them be. Taking these corpse with us would make thing suspicious and we cannot have lagging undeads behind us." – said the vampire knight.

"Anyway, lets go quickly. Its time to kill the pope."
