Chapter 287: – Sacrificial move.

The Brutes given up on infiltrating the Mevon territory, nor they even attempted to attack the territory in any way either. Instead, they just retreated had some of some of their members leave the empire.

And then, more than month went by has passed afterwords.

For the two whole weeks, it was a complete peace and quiet.

Nothing was going on.

"..."

"Okay. This is stupid at this point." – said a soldier on top of the massive wall.

[Location: Empire boarder checkpoint base.]

"I mean, all this talk about war this, war that... But is has already been years... And yet they are not doing anything."

"Because they are not doing anything openly, it doesn’t mean they are not doing anything." – said the soldier B as he approached the young soldier A.

"There are rumors that those freaking terrorist that apparently recently, they were either working for our neighbors, or they were just receiving a direct support from them."

"I don’t know if that rumor is true or not, but the fact remains that they are telling us to be a vigilante all the time... That means one thing."

"Something is going on right now."

"And the whole rumors about the war happening, may be real."

"So don’t be fucking idiot and let your guard down."

"Yeah, yeah. Got it old man." – said soldier A.

"I’m in my 20s!" – shouted pissed off soldier B.

"?!"

"Wait! 20s?! You look like you are in your 40s?!" – said extremely confused soldier A.

"Oh! You stupid little fucker!" – shouted pissed off soldier B as he was ready to throw hands.

"Enough you fucking idiots! I’m trying to get some sleep here!" – shouted the soldier C.

"...Really?" – asked soldier B as he directed his anger to soldier C.

"We maybe end up having going to the war, and you are sleeping during your turn? What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"I got to agree with him. Dude. What the fuck?" – asked soldier A.

"Oh, shut the fuck up! It was because of that stupid boss and his drinking.... Party....?" – the soldier C tried complaining... But then he started nothing from the distance.

"...What is that?" – asked soldier C as he pointed at something in the distance... Something that was in the skies.

The soldier C quickly took out a telescope from a chest, before then using it himself in order to see what exactly is going on.

"..."

"?"

"Hey, what is it?" – asked soldier B as the soldier C suddenly went completely silent.

"..."

"Run." – said soldier C.

"Eh? What the hell do you-"

"I SAID FUCKING RUN! RASIE THE FUCKING ALARM! EVECUATE EVERBODY NOW!" – shouted soldier C, cutting off soldier B.

"NOW! FUCKING RUN!" – shouted soldier C as he straight up began running away on his own, abandoning his post while throwing away the telescope.

"...What is up with him?" – asked confused yet extremely alarmed soldier A... While the soldier B approached the fallen telescope and picked it up, before then using it himself to see the truth.

"..."

(Oh.... My god.) – thought the soldier B as the all the colors was instantly drained from his face, as he saw the truth himself.

"What? What is it?!" – asked confused soldier A.

"Wyverns." – said soldier B.

"There is a fucking army of wyverns coming this way." – said the panicking soldier B as he saw the truth, an extremely massive flock of wyverns is heading towards the border check point.

[Time – Sometime after Gerald and his team given up on attacking the dungeon.]

"YOU FUCKING WANT TO USE THOSE WYVERNS?!" – shouted the duke Karol Dun as he was using the communication orb to communicate with Gerald and his team.

"Are you freaking crazy?! This isn’t a talk we are doing right now!"

"The answer is instant! No!"

"Do you have any idea how much we suffered to keep those wyverns around!?"

"And you just want to freaking use them!?"

(A wild flock of wyverns we had been keeping around for long time, even letting them grow in number and strength.) – thought duke Karol.

(Obviously this was a stupid idea, since they are wild, a monsters.)

(But we have means of having them go after the empire.)

"They are meant as our weapon against the empire!"

"And you want to have them waste them right now?!"

"Well, sorry to inform you." – said Gerald.

"But you either use them up."

"Or instead you will be stuck in way worse situation."

"..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" – asked duke Karol as Gerald and his men began explaining in the details the current situation to the duke.

"..."

"So... You are saying that the dungeon is really producing non stop golems to the empire and-"

"And at the rate things are going, your precious wyverns that you were hording will do jack shit, since the empire is already expanding their military force at the alarming rate." – said Gerald as he cut off duke Karol mid-sentence.

"You are not dumb enough to not realize that."

"But you can probably see what is more beneficiation now."

"And what is also far more dangerous in the future."

(Fuck. Now it makes sense why he made that kind of idiotic proposal.) – thought duke Karol who instantly became extremely nervous.

(Even if we were to resale the wyverns during the war as we planned, there is a good chance that they will use the dungeon to somewhat replenish their numbers that were taken out during wyvern rampage.)

(Not only that, they have already a massive army of golems on standby?)

(If the dungeon is truly under the empire control.... Then that means that army is theirs.)

(Fuck. This isn’t good.)

(But then again, these wyverns live in OUR territory.)

(Obviously they will be "wild monster attack", we won’t be controlling them at all.)

(We will be just directing them at the empire.)

(But again, it will be obvious that we may had something to do with it.)

(We could start off the war in the worst possible timing for us.)

(...But again, the longer that dungeon exist, the more dangerous it will become for all of us.)

(And the more we hesitate, the more time we waste like idiots, the shitter our situation would become.)

(Fuck.)

"..."

(But the worst from the two, would be clearly the existence of the dungeon, more than losing those freaking wyverns.)

"Fine."

"You won."

"You are allowed to use the wyverns."

"But you better not fucking fail."

"You hear me?"

"If that dungeon is left standing and I’ve wasted my trump card on this, then your fucking head is mine."

"You hear me?!"

Wild wyverns.

It is possible to train and tame wyverns.

There are nations out there that do breed and tame wyverns for their own personally uses, be it an odd job uses or maybe even military uses.

However, taming a wild wyvern is extremely dangerous and hard.

Especially a fully grown adult wyverns.

And the wyvern in questions weren’t some random wyverns either.

They were the wyverns that had taken control over one of the mountains of the Warmur kingdom, making it their own territory.

After taking it over, they grown both in number and strength, evolving and breeding.

This wasn’t like what happened in the Maw city where the empire released expendable wyverns.

These wyverns were a real flock of wyverns.

A truly dangerous one that could easily wipe out a city.

But here is a question.

How?

How did the Warmur kingdom caused the wyverns to go after the empire? Even though they were wild wyverns.

They used 3 things.

Mind control magic, to somewhat dull the sense of the creature and make them focus on the "food", which was left a series of baits that was meant to guide the creatures.

And most importantly, drugs.

The Warmur kingdom created a special kind of drug that can agitate beast and monster alike, making their aggression level increase, while also making the creature themselves become extremely hungry.

Obviously, it meant these wyverns would be straight up even more out of control.

But again, all they had to is to lead the wyverns’ leaders to the empire and everything would go on its own.

The leaders of wyverns would bring their subordinates with them, and once they arrived at the empire, they would began their "hunt".

Which in turn began it.

The wyvern invasion on the empire, began.

And the moment it started, the rampage started right on the spot.

Destruction and death instantly began spreading, which was obviously noticed by the empire itself.

Empire instantly gathered up their forces and sent them after the rampaging monsters, aiming to exterminate them, while also aiming to strengthen their boarders as they were suspecting the war may break out at any moment now, since they are indeed suspecting the Warmur kingdom to be truly behind everything.

However, there was a problem.

It was a distraction.

Before the wyverns were baited to attack the empire, the Brutes were already on the move, brining over more and more of their members inside of the empire, bringing in total of around 300 members inside of the empire.

All of the Brutes squadrons in the empire.

And with that, the preparations are finished.

For the Brutes to go and destroy the dungeon.
