"I'm sorry father this was all because of my incompetence."
Sam was silent. He knows Salina was no match for a player. It was not her fault.
In front of them was countless houses tore down by the undeads. The citizens were almost wiped out. There are undeads are roaming around the ruins.
The holy kingdom is now in ruins. It was beyond repair. Even Sam needs a long time if he wants to rebuild the former glory of holy kingdom.
He sighed. But now was not the time for that. He has to get back the holy grail.
If the holy grail was fully absorbed by Killian, all will be lost. He might even lose his powers.
If the player died, their sources like holy grail will disappear and return to the world.
If you want to absorb, you have to do it while the other player is still alive.
Its too risky since the other player will surely attack. However you will gain tremendous power if you managed to absorb the source.
For Sam, he didn't even think of that before. Because its too risky and simply you cannot do anything while absorbing.
You will be like a butterfly in a cocoon. You cannot even command your forces while the other player attacking.
If Killian want to absorb the holy grail, he will have to leave the command of his army to his generals like Evilyn or Dustian.
Even if they are intelligent they are no match for a player. They have to bear the brunt of Sam's attack.
Its like going offline and leaving your game to normal difficulty AI in the game. At the level of high ranking players, normal difficulty is just a child play that they can easily win against.
But if you succeed in absorbing the source, you will gain a terrifying boost in power. Its a high risk high return for players.
When Sam went war with the monster civilization, he only managed kill the player. He didn't have enough strength to absorb the source.
Sam stopped thinking about that. Now was not the time. He has to get back the holy grail. He cannot give more time to Killian.
He summons crusaders. Since he cannot summon more angels, crusaders are the best option for this situation.
They are far weaker than angels but they have a passive buff that deals more damage against evil forces.
They are good against both undeads and demons. However they are cost inefficient against the others.
[Crusader]
Requirements- 150 Holy Essences
Passive- 25% more damage to evil forces
Sam summons an army of crusader and a few priests. He then turned to Salina and asked about the other kingdoms.
It is strange that the other kingdoms remain silent when the holy kingdom was being destroyed. They must have known they were next.
"Father the thing is the demons threaten to destroy them first if they help us. The kingdom of Dethyra became an example."
Sam thought that was a very good move from Killian. Although Killian cannot fight the continent alone he can easily destroy one or two kingdoms.
No one would want to gamble betting their kingdoms.
"What about the elves. I don't think they would turn a blind eye to this."
Sam gave a great help to the elves. The elf king is not a petty person that will forget the others help.
The elf king would help them even if he had to put the elf kingdom in the danger. Sam done many things for them.
In the past the player of the monster civilization tried to conquer the elven forest.
The elves are very beautiful and have tender body. Even Sam fall in love with the elf princess in the past.
There are many high ranking people who desire elves. The elves are considered top quality slaves in every kingdom.
People would pay a huge fortune to get an elf slave. Even male elves are no exception. The elves are like the symbol of beauty and pure.
The were known for their beauty and longevity. An elf slave can serve a human for generations.
Even though the elf slaves live shorter than normal due to the torment of their masters, their life span was still much longer than humans.
The reason elves didn't appear in the human world was because of this.
The player of monster civilization made the elves as his playthings to fulfill his lustful desires.
He made the whole elven kingdom as his harem and treated them as his toys.
After Sam won against that player, he freed the elves and gave his protection.
He made a promise with the elves to protect them. That's why there were some elves living in the holy kingdom.
They were treated the same as humans. Slavery is also forbidden in the holy kingdom. Sam's reputation in the elven kingdom was extremely high.
"We sent a request for reinforcements to the elven forest and we received words that they were coming. But its been some time. They should have arrived already."
Something must happen to the reinforcements. Sam spread his senses to the holy knights around the kingdom.
As a player he can look through his forces. Although these holy knights are not summoned, they were given holy powers through the holy grail.
Its like Killian can control Lukia and Devlian after giving them chaos powers. They became his direct forces.
There are not much holy knights left. The royal knight order is wiped out. Cyrus was dead.
All the priests that sent together with the knights were also killed by the rampaging demons.
Only a few holy knights left. Simon was still alive but he was badly wounded.
He was saved by the elf reinforcements that came to the holy kingdom.
