Chapter 465 - 464 – Collecting materials…. Too easy?

"Okay. That is all of them." – said Thanatos as she finished off killing giant golden scorpions."Yeah, I can definitely feel it now. These monsters here are nothing like the monsters we encountered before."

"Welp, there is also problem with players." – said Maparapara as she stood right next to the pile of player corpses.

"They are appearing more often as well."

"You weren't kidding when you said this place will be crawling with them."

"But I don't get something."

"You also said NPCs should also be crawling this place… So why didn't we seen even one yet?"

"…"

"I don't have a clue." – replied Phantasia.

"Maybe they switched up tactics and are now only sending players inside, since some kingdoms see the players as 'infinitely expendable'?" – said Phantasia.

"Possible. This thing is now happening in almost all second-rate kingdoms." – said Thanatos.

"They want to 'keep up', with other kingdoms, even if it means using asshole tactic."

"For many, it had worked."

"But some?"

"Oh boy… Some bastards abused it so much that the players straight up left their kingdom completely."

"And they made those players straight up do everything while barely giving them good enough reward to make it all worth it."

"I mean, in the past all people were chasing after the title of a noble and what not, but now? People are avoiding this shit since it is straight up scam, a trap."

"Because of that, players leave the small or second rate kingdoms, since they were abused and scammed by the authority."

"And because of that, weaker factions are quickly collapsing left and right." – said Phantasia.

"Where do you think all these players who leave their original faction are going to?"

"The answer: The bigger factions."

"Heck, yesterday when I was just randomly scrolling through internet, I've found article about 3 kingdoms being destroyed."

"Reason?"

"Apparently three kingdoms saw players as nothing as slaves and tried to give them work against their will."

"Then the hell came in and all the players who were betrayed by their kingdoms just on the spot changed sides."

"And that was their end."

"…"

"The weak factions are getting devoured left and right while the top factions are keep growing."

"Honestly speaking, things are going way too fast." – said Phantasia as the group continued exploring the underground after finishing up collecting valuable items.

"I mean, heck. I was expecting these weaker kingdoms to last like what? A year more?"

"But at the rate things are going, all of them will be gone in matters of months."

"And then will come the second-rate kingdoms."

"As the things stands… They all will probably die."

"Unless they change their situation and try to become one of the people playing on the table, then they are pretty much nothing more than 'food'."

"It is simple as that."

"…"

"Okay, quick question." – said Maparapara.

"If I'm understanding is correctly, you are saying that pretty much ALL small kingdoms will be what? Devoured?"

"In just matter of months as well?"

"Then how long it would take for the second-rate kingdoms to be also 'devoured'?"

"…"

"I don't know." – replied Phantasia.

"Honestly speaking… I really have no freaking clue."

"The small kingdoms shouldn't be getting destroyed so quickly left and right…. I thought they would last longer."

"And as for the second rate kingdoms…."

"Realistic speaking they SHOULD last another year after the fall of the small kingdoms."

"However, considering the fact how hyper aggressive each of the top factions are as well as the realm factions are never stopping to acquire dominance…"

"It wouldn't be fair to say that the second rate kingdoms would also start falling apart in matter of months."

"Heck, vampires may as well plan this shit."

"I maybe their weapon, but their greed is beyond hidden."

"They also probably are planning to join the race… But if I were to guess, I think they would be going straight for the second-rate kingdoms from the get go."

"…"

"Yeah… Even I can image them doing that." – replied Maparapara.

"…"

"By the way… What are we going to do regarding Arthur?"

"…"

"Honestly, I want him out of the picture." – said Phantasia.

"He is definitely getting look down upon, but by any means he is something we can ignore."

"It wouldn't be surprising at this point if the thing he is working for is the elder god."

"Or something with direct relationship with them…. But then again, he straight up declared war on the organization, which goal is extermination of the invaders and freeing this world from their influence."

"So, there is good chance that the elder god theory maybe wrong."

"Anyway, next wave of monsters is coming."

"Let's continue talking after this." – said Phantasia as a horde of massive golden scorpions appeared.
