Chapter 245: The legendary class villain!
Alex retracted his eyes back to the king, "How's your research on The Lost Kingdom?"
In an instant, the silence returned to the throne hall. No player wanted to butt in, and their curiosity was also relatively high.
On the other hand, royalties were barely able to hide their feelings. Their progress on The Lost Kingdom was pretty weak. They couldn't understand the shadow behind the catastrophe and its origins.
And while their reactions gave a rough idea to Alex about their research, he didn't say anything. He barely took glances at everyone else other than the king.
"The Shadow cast on the Deathwill Kingdom is out of our reach," The King Of Berden Kingdom confessed the truth.
It wasn't great to have such a mysterious land as a neighboring kingdom. They only benefited from the catastrophe by taking potential nobles from the Deathwill Kingdom. Yet, they failed to adequately accommodate them in their lands.
That was simply a conflict between nobles that the king couldn't fix.
Everyone wanted to see through the Lost Kingdom, however. Other neighboring kingdoms had done the same research with similar results.
After conveying that news, The King hoped that Alex wouldn't pursue other kingdoms. He also had a feeling that Alex wouldn't side with the hungry demons.
And that was indeed the truth, "I will help you keep your capital safe. I believe we can keep it intact for a long time."
"It's reassuring to hear that from the legendary class," The King smiled, standing up to officially welcome Alex to their ranks. He also wanted to propose rewards for helping out his kingdom.

However, Alex courteously refused the invitation. He said he wanted to meet a few of his buddies in the capital and then check other residents. Even now, as they spoke, the villains and hungry demons had their forces banging onto all safe zone formations.
Thus, the king couldn't stop Alex from turning around.
Alex also didn't plan to stay here for too long.
Tomo Homie glanced at the Masterminds' guild leader before running after his friend. After this small group left the scene, the throne hall erupted with faint whispers as everyone talked.
Players used their special voice chats, each making their plans.
"Alright then," Alex looked at his wives, then at his friend, "I have a list of hungry demons that I must capture. That's my only priority here."
Tomo sighed, "I don't think the three kingdoms stand a chance."
Alex nodded, "And their research about The Lost Kingdom is worse than I thought. Hungry demons should analyze it without anyone stopping them; then, I might use their invitation to learn about their progress.
There's nothing for me to gain in these kingdoms unless they really offer something good," Alex smiled at his friend.
His girls also looked at the eyeglasses guy.
Tomo Homie said, "Those kingdoms don't have anything special to offer. Yes, their swordsmen and other high-level residents can pass their skills. Still, it's nothing significant compared to the antagonist's rewards."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Just because there were epic classes, it didn't mean that they all were the same and equal.
Tomo Homie continued, "They offer an extended sphere of influence for the top guilds. But in these devastated lands, that would mean more work than ever. Guilds would be forced to deal with constant hungry demon's assaults and spend too much money on the rebuilding.
And that's only if they reclaim the lands.
But you know, sticking up to them is not a bad idea," Tomo Homie chuckled.
In this war, the hungry demons also attacked demi-humans. Due to many political and business reasons, the humans and demi-humans decided to co-exist. And while it was not so great in the Berden Kingdom, the fact that demi-humans and their diplomats lived here was crucial.
Sara chimed in with a gentle voice and twinkling eyes, "Hungry demons have killed a few diplomats, haven't they?"
Tomo Homie nodded, "Yes."
"That's the worst they could've done," Sara added.
Tomo chuckled, "They don't waste their opportunities, though. They let go of some diplomats, which were from powerful tribes. I told my guild leader to contact demi-human tribes to reveal the truth.
But I fear that we will always be a few steps behind. The hungry demons are everywhere, aren't they?
My point is that those schemes will irk up other kingdoms. If we keep working with Berden Kingdom's royalties and let them seek refuge in other lands, we might open a new arc for ourselves.
We will get tickets to the most crucial stage through them." Tomo Homie slid his glasses on his nose, his eyes shining.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})His friend and his wives sneered.
They understood Tomo Homie's vision. He believed that the hungry demon's actions would rile up other kingdoms. They all would form an alliance, polish their teamwork, then seize back the fallen kingdom's lands.
They would kick away those hungry demons from their continent for an eternity! For that, a lot of research had to be done.
And, of course, someone had to be a trigger should the safe kingdoms decide to be asinine.
Tomo Homie licked his lips, "If push comes to shove, we will use the Berden Kingdom's royalties to ally other kingdoms. They will be an excellent example of the hungry demon's actions…
Everyone should understand that the dallying is over. We can't let those antagonists affect every part of our societies," Tomo Homie concluded.
Even though their loss was nearly inevitable, Tomo Homie thought ahead. That was why every guild leader allowed him to take reigns of the Avander World's side, controlling the battlefield.
In the future, the hungry demons would hate a peculiar glasses guy who would call himself Thousand Eyes Homie, for he saw through all schemes easily.
After meeting up with his homies, Alex naturally introduced everyone to them. His wives left the same, if not better, impact on Zhen and others. Even Pedro's gloomy mood disappeared after looking at Stella's sleeping holiness.
He looked so fresh like a new self had taken over his body.
Everyone teased him about it.
And then, the events continued.
"ALEXANDER DEATHWILL! I am here for you!"
The legendary class from the villain's guild announced his arrival.
