Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 242

Ibro moved to the center of the plaza with the help of Erond who carried him to stand in the middle of the air. When Ibro appeared, everyone stopped what they were doing and the silence overwhelmed the place.

"I know that the game has told you about me. I want to clear some facts here so you know exactly who I am. I'm not an undead creature or a monster. I'm not a ruthless heartless person. 

I'm a normal human just like you. I was a player a couple of times before. I played with many classes like dark magician class, shield warrior class, and rune master class. 

I have an extremely unique skill that can revive the dead. I don't summon skeletons, I revive them. That meant those skeletons you fought weren't just dead bones, they were living persons just like you and me. 

I'm not here to destroy this world and kill every last one of you. I have asked you to surrender and till now I didn't mistreat you. From this moment on, I'm your king and you are my followers. 

I intend to build a mighty kingdom here, so I hope you will be with me in doing that. Now, as I came from outside your world, I lack any information about your world. 

So, I hope you can help me and provide all the info you know. Right there I will establish a stall that will be responsible for this task. Thanks for your cooperation."

Ibro pointed to a place at the heart of the square. There was already an empty place there. Ibro then landed with the help of Erond outside the plaza. He then moved towards his palace and waited for the news. 

He lacked all the necessary info about this world, so he hoped these locals would help him. His wait didn't last long, as Gorsag had started to deliver him many reports. 

Some of these reports were about the findings in this city, and others were about the info they gained from these NPCs or his citizens now. Ibro was glad that he managed to calm these folk's hearts. 

The presence of inner threats during any siege battles would be disastrous. The trophies of this battle were huge. The amount of weapons and other types of war equipment was enough to arm 2 million soldiers fully. 

There were many war machines too, which were moved to defend the city. On the other hand, there were many scrolls and potions that no one can understand. 

Ibro couldn't help in this matter, so he instructed Gorsag to use some of the new citizens to inspect these items and write down the details about them. 

In regard to this world's info, Ibro felt surprised to discover that this world had no country domains like Rioneed, but it was a global united domain like Zeraxos. 

The world here was divided into two big domains; the mainland domain and the glory domain. The mainland domain had 3 big continents and uncountable islands. 

He was now in the upper continent, which was called 'The Notside continent'. Every continent was divided internally into multiple kingdoms and empires. 

All of these were under the control of the NPCs. Players here were like welcomed visitors. Ibro was now inside the territory of a middle empire known as the 'Trouf Empire'. 

He was in the middle of it. The capital of this empire lay in the distant south, so Ibro felt some relief. He wouldn't face a strong retaliation from this empire for now. He also had a map drawn by some citizens. 

He began to study it closely as he started to plan the next steps he should take. The reports didn't stop coming until the next day. In the middle, Ibro had eaten some meals. 

He didn't feel hunger as before and Erond explained this as a cultivation phenomenon. Cultivators who breakthrough the spiritual absorption stage would usually have higher resistance to hunger or fatigue. 

The higher the cultivator went in his cultivation, the more this resistance would be. Ibro now had a detailed map of the world. He knew the locations of all the cities here and the names of the strongest NPCs. 

From this knowledge, he figured out the great difficulty to annex this empire if he used the normal tactics. That made him more confident in his plans. Conquering this empire would never be an easy task. 

One month wouldn't be enough at all to even conquer one-tenth of it. he needed to secure more time. to do that, he needed to strengthen his foothold here.

The first thing he did next was to move outside the city. He had to start his plans earlier than he expected. He learned from the info provided to him that this area was under the local control of one lord. 

This lord had nearly 100 cities under his rule. He was like the overlord of the northern half of this empire. He was also related by blood to the royal family. 

That meant he wouldn't tolerate this action from Ibro. What gave him some room to resist was the fact that the lord main castle was at the far north from here. 

It would take some time for his preparations to be complete. Ibro had to aim at this window. He needed to disturb this lord's plans early on. Ibro moved with the help of Erond towards the west. 

There was a cluster of cities there, around 10 of them. These cities were just like his city, they were all simple cities. Cities in this world were divided upon their ranks into six main ranks. 

The smallest was the simple city rank and the highest was the empyreal city rank. Ibro headed fast-flying towards these cities. 

He also was accompanied by 1000 flying cultivators who helped another 1000 death knights to follow Ibro. His flight took nearly 4 hours to reach his destination. 

He didn't land near the closest city, but he chose the farthest one. Once he landed there, he started to use his death summon technique without stop.
