Chapter 203 - For An Army To Be Sent
When Kyros confirmed that they were in a different realm, he began to think of the implication based on the many clues that they had of the place. The fact that the entire mountain could be moved proved that the place was a portal that connects. Who knows? It could be that the moment someone steps into the mouth of the cave on top of Airom, they had already begun the teleporting travel to this new world.
"The Golem King said that this place was explored for a year. Gojirrah, is this mountain leading to the Golem City in the middle of this entire region?"
"Yes. It is as you have guessed, Lord Kyros. We are at the very center of this place."
What happens if you move to the edge of this place?"
"You reach the sky. That brown sky is actually a wall." Gojirrah pointed to the sky.
."That sky covers the entire place just like the dome of a Flat Earth. If you walk to the edge, you see that impassable sky like a wall. You can move through it, but none who journeyed inside to see ever lived. Those who touched it would soon be struck with a strange sickness and die."
"A Life and Death Containing Field." Kyros identified it from the many things that Calaminus explained.
"You... know of it, my Lord?"
"Every planet has one. Those fields contain the life and death energy to stay within Earth. Anything that is alive, be it by actually living or through any undead or animated practice, will die if they try to move out of it. Only those who are at Saint can resist and move through that space." Kyros explained.
"But such things are not relevant now. Do you have a map of some sort as to how large this place is?"
"I do not have the authority to gain access to those large maps, Lord Kyros. But in general, this place is divided into three places. This region that leads to the Golem City is the largest and belongs to us lizards. We are the most powerful group as we have around eight kingdoms of lizardfolk. With the alliance with the amphibian races, we would soon see the rise of another scaled race in this land. We call this region the Scaled Kingdoms. To the far east that expands and covers the far north region is the kingdom of the Undying Humans."
"Undying Humans? So it's a kingdom of Necromancers and the magically animated?"
"Yes, Lord Kyros. Its primarily led by human necromancers. The strongest is the Death Knight Nercon Sivanetes."
"A Necron? How interesting." Kyros smiled as he recalled some memories of fighting a Necron. It was the most brutal battle in his previous life.
"The third region is at the other end. It's on the West region and spreads out to the far South region. We call it the Wild Lands. There are some human and dwarven towns and even an orc kingdom there! But that land is dangerous because of the real ruler. It also has a deep underground world full of goblins."
"So the goblins rule that region! In the Planesworld, Goblins are generally weak. Although I know that if a fourth stage goblin appears, a kingdom of Goblin is possible because of the immense power and wisdom of this goblin. So I'm quite curious as to how strong it is. The only strong Goblin I know looks like a man who is about to ride a train to a place called Busan."
"What?"
"Ignore my weirdness. Continue."
"That goblin kingdom is led by a Goblin lord, a Goblin Grand Mage, and a Goblin Berserker. And they are the reason why we haven't conquered that kingdom yet. The orcs, humans, and dwarves are but all necessary creatures that are allowed to live for the sake of strengthening the kingdom and for producing food through farming."
"What a world this place is. Alright. Let's get down to business. I want several Lizard Kingdoms to launch an attack on the Golem city. I've thought about it, and I decided that the best way to draw an army's attack is by two means. The first is to become something they can't ignore. This means killing a lot of them."
"How many?"
"About ten percent of the population of a lizard kingdom. That will draw their attention and force them to make an attack."
Gojirrah listened patiently and was amazed at the daring plans. Such plans to kill a lot require great preparation! While he knew that the power of his lord was quite strong, they wouldn't be able to attack an army!
"That's a lot!"
"Yeah. I think I can do it in a week." Kyros estimated.
"Wha-What?"
"Poison. I never got my hands on any herbs or the right time to do that. But with kingdoms of lizards, I can sneak in, steal stuff from your alchemy storehouses, concoct their poisons, and kill people. Of course, I will be announcing that I'm from that place."
"You can make the poison?"
"Yep. I'm a little bit of a poison expert myself."
"In our world, Poison Experts are very rare. It is a unique job class harder than mages and more expensive than potion masters. Not to mention the fact that they need to study a whole list of plants to create the right reaction!"
"I know. There aren't many even in the Planesworld. They are only found in the Highlands."
"And... you can do that, my Lord? You're... like twelve years old."
"Actually, I'm ten. I just look more mature because of my body build." Kyros chuckled.
"But enough of that. The problem is, I want a large army to attack by tomorrow. So do you know of anything that is enough for an army to be sent out?"
"Tomorrow?"
"I gotta show something to these human kingdoms who are coming here. They have to be on full alert. So I was thinking... Is there something within the nearest lizard kingdoms, like a weapon, a person, a resource, anything of great importance that would spark rage and war?"
Gojirrah began to think.
"If there are any important objects that could make the kingdom send an army, it would be something that the Commander owns. And I don't know of any objects."
"Hmmm... Oh... You, lizard folks, are generally monogamous, right?"
"Monogamous?"
"You only take one wife."
"Yes. Generally, that's the case. But it depends on the lineage and evolution. It's not rare for some of the superior bloodlines to take those with lesser bloodlines."
"I see. Then why don't we kidnap the wife or wives of the Commanders?"
"You want to do what?"
"You heard me. Let's kidnap their wives."
"Kidnap their wives?! So you want us to kidnap the wife of several Commanders?!"
"Yup. That should make them all mad and chase us to the Golem City, right?"
"But Lord Kyros, how do we kidnap them?! We don't have enough manpower to take them away!"
"Right. About that. I think that they will marry you. It would be better if their wives could like a kiss or even do the nasty with you in front of everyone."
"My lord, with all due respect... You're insane."
"Gojirrah... I have two words for you."
"I hope it's 'professional counseling.'"
"No. It's Turned Vampire." Kyros smiled.
