Rioneed: VRMMORPG - Chapter 423: Vol 9: Getting The Memo: Maya Is in Danger

“Welcome your majesty, how is the battle there? Does your majesty need more reinforcements?

I just finished recruiting a huge army and was about to send him there,” Drigory said with rapid breaths, as he thought the situation there was getting worse and he was trying his best to form a good army to help. Ibro understood his worry, so he smiled calmly as he said:

“The battle there is over and the passageway is secured, you send these armies there to keep watch and send who fought there back here to have some rest.”

Drigory was dumbstruck with this news, as he thought the battle was getting worse but the truth was far over, and they won. He looked at the back of Ibro as he was heading towards the city governor palace and felt great admiration, and trust.

That man single handed managed to change the fate of a whole war, a losing war, to make them emerge winners. Drigory awoke from his thoughts and followed Ibro silently towards the palace.

The palace made Ibro recall distant memories, a memory of his first time coming to the Apidon world, as he entered a similar palace like this at Shonty city and there he met Ruliv.

He sighed, as this felt like a memory from another lifetime. Ibro entered the palace as his thoughts were focused over the Rioneed world, Ruliv and his associates, and Oya.

He missed Oya so much that he even thought it was a sweet dream he had a couple of years ago, but it seemed very vivid in his mind as if it was yesterday.

Ibro entered the silver white palace and found a main hall with a big seat in the middle of it. he went there and sat over it while Drigory was walking behind him silently.

“Now, I want to know how many worlds can you attract to help us here?”

Ibro won the battle, but he knew that was just the beginning and many battles would follow, many more brutal than the one that just finished.

He also didn’t want to distract himself all the time here, as if every time the demon army attacked and he was summoned to fight it, then he wouldn’t have any time at all to focus on the Zeraxos world.

He needed to establish a stable line of reinforcements here, so he only would be summoned at the most dangerous moments, moments like the presence of twin system holders.

“We have already linked the city with over 100 worlds,” Drigory replied.

“Not enough, I want you to fasten things up, there are no demons anywhere in this universe now, so move with haste and connect with every single inhabitant world here.

Gather up high end players and NPCs and move them all here. Set up a reinforcement system for emergencies, and try to make most of the players stay here, not in this city alone, but in all the cities here.”

Ibro tried to mimic the regime that was in the Rioneed universe, as he believed it was the most perfect system so far in fighting the demons as united.

What he missed, though, was the aid of the game system itself, as he knew now how crucial the role it played in the Rioneed universe and keeping it intact although they lost the war. Ibro’s words were direct, but difficult to achieve, so Drigory replied honestly:

“I will do my best, my king, but I predict not many will answer our call.”

“They either answer it or they will perish, I won’t tolerate the presence of selfish arrogant idiots who are trying only to live their life to its fullest and we are trying to save their lives by paying ours.

Connect with Remon and Gorsag, let them support you with all the armies you need. Also send a word to my village and bring back as many beta stones as possible, and use them to restrain any suspicious players and NPCs.”

Drigory understood the intention of his king, which made his body shiver internally, but he didn’t show any of this on his surface. He felt he was really lucky, as he chose the right side early on, he also felt gratitude towards Remon, as he was the one who gave him such a chance.

“I will communicate with them both, as they are roaming the whole universe executing your orders.

Ah, there was a message that came while you were in the passageway world, it came from Gorsag,” Drigory said as he took out a scroll and handed it to Ibro, “The messenger said it’s a very urgent and highly classified message, so I didn’t open it.”

Ibro felt strange by the way Gorsag sent this message to him, what was possibly so dangerous to veil it with such secrecy? Ibro took the scroll and opened it as he began to read its content.

The more he read, the angrier he became, till he finished reading it to crush it with his fist while muttering with bitterness and anger:

‘Good, good, nice move bastard.’

The change of Ibro’s mood was apparent to Drigory, who asked with caution:

“Is there something wrong, my king?”

Ibro looked at him to realize he lost his composure in front of Drigory, so he controlled his windy emotions and said:

“It’s nothing, I want to go now and execute what I told you.”

Drigory wasn’t stupid, he knew there was some bad news in that scroll, so he excused himself at once and left to leave Ibro some space alone. Ibro watched the back of Drigory as he felt more anger swelling inside him.

The scroll had only one piece of information, which was regarding his village, the supreme village. Gorsag said he went there but he found its place empty, and after some inquiry he knew it disappeared a few days ago, just as Ibro himself disappeared.

Everything was clear in front of Ibro now, as the trap of his enemies wasn’t just limited to releasing the time pause advantage from him, but to interfere with all of his territories and places he visited.

The move of moving the village back to the cultivation world aimed at separating Ibro from his village, so that the demons could plan to attack and control it easily.

‘Is there a way to connect my village with places I have visited?’
