Chapter 19 – 2 down, 1 more to go.
(One of the key locations of the city, the hospital is down and now its new source of plague.)
(But this is not enough.)
(The plague can spread through coughing and all, but the effect is far too weak. I even tested it on some rabbits to see how much and it was…. Quite pathetic. It's another way to infect people, but its' not really that strong and people would need to be very close to each other to get infected.)
(So, the best way to spread is using corpse.)
(In other words, the best way to do it is to kill people and destroy some buildings while also infecting it.)
(I also have some other…. "TOOLS" that may make things bit more nastier.)
(Before I infected the city and the sewers, I looked a bit around and found few locations that I kind of need to take care of.)
[City garrison] – [The place where the city guards are stationing and its their base of operation.]
[Hospital] – [The place where they will take care of the sick.]
[The mayor mansion] – [The place where the head of the city lives.]
(With the hospital gone, the sickness will spread more.)
(However, to ensure that the "Real Chaos" occurs, I need to spread the plague and chaos in some random locations as well as take down the two other key locations, making the control in the city be chaotic.)
(But, thanks to the situation with the sewers, everybody is focused on them, leaving the place not that very much guarded, ALLOWING ME TO ROAM FREELY!)
(But there are still some guards and players left, so I shouldn't walk around without much care…. YET.)
(The question is, with one should be my next target?)
(Guards? Or the mayor?)
"…"
(Guards.)
(They are currently stretched thin, since they are trying to protect the city and helping the civilians and also helping out with the sewers problem. Thanks for the info garrison capitan! Friends are so useful and I was even one who suggested the idea with him sending his forces to observe the sewer entrances in case the rats try to escape or those "Conspiracies" that I made up appear!)
(The barracks are completely unguarded and once they are gone, the guards will lose their base of operation, making their control much weaker!)
(And if I spread the plague in there, it will make things even more interesting.)
(But as for the mayor… I didn't had any access to the building or anything like that and only saw two orc guards standing guard.)
(All I know about him is that he isn't some stupid greedy noble from the garrison capitan and that he is a dark elf and he isn't stupid or anything…. And that pretty much is that.)
(The lack of the information is bit bothering, but if I want to succeed with my plan, that place need to go.)
(As soon as the second location is destroyed, the people will realize that something is wrong AND it will be time to start spreading the plague around even further.)
(And that will give me an opportunity to attack the mayor mansion during this chaos!)
(So. Lets get to the work.)
Nobody really paid much attention to me, even with my new weird equipment, since people just though I just wanted to dress up, since I was wearing an plague doctor mask and even people who asked me about it, I just replied that it was item that had some resistance again poison and diseases.
I wasn't wrong or anything nor did I lied to them… But I didn't told them that the reason I was wearing it was so that I can kill them later on.
I wonder what faces they will make once I kill them and realize that they just talked to the murderer and the culprit? They will probably have an interesting reaction.
But for now, they don't need to know…. For "Now" that is.
So honestly speaking, nobody minded me walking around the streets.
Oh well, better for me.
Before long I got to the barracks.
"Hm? Hey stop there." – said the dark elf guard.
"Sorry, but no visitors… Wait a second… A bird- "
Before the guard could finish speaking, Phantasia quickly stabbed the man in the neck with his claws before removing them.
The man tried to gasp for the air, but the poisoned claws that were additionally coated with poison made quick work of the guard, making him drop death.
After quickly dealing with the guard, Phantasia headed to barracks and quickly entered the building.
"?"
"Hey. Who- "
When one of the guards that was in the barracks tried to say something, Phantasia threw vials around, making them shatter in different parts of the room, releasing the plague in the form of the smoke.
"?!"
"H-hey?! What the fuck is going on?!" – asked the goblin guard.
"'Cough' I don't- "
Suddenly the crossbow bolt flew at hit one of the guards in the forehead and few moments later a poison bullet flew at the guards present in the room alongside some of the personal before Phantasia fired [Poison Smoke] skill, covering the room in poison.
The knights tried fighting back, but the plague and the poison was doing too much and Phantasia easily dispatched the guards left and right, leaving nobody alive.
Before long, Phantasia began walking on the empty corridors of the city barracks and filling it with plague while killing everybody he encounter with poison and plague, making so that nobody was even properly defend this place.
And after some time passed, the remaining people that were at the barracks were killed and the plague ended up consuming the city barracks.
There was no mercy, but only corpse were left behind in the corridors that were filled with poison and plague, making the barracks become the second source of plague inside the city.
After having the barracks being consumed by the plague, Phantasia left the area using the back entrance.
(Huh.)
(This went bit easier than I though.)
(Well, everybody is doing the job, since there is a literally plague going on rampage and all, so it wouldn't make sense that there would be many people left in the barracks or something and honestly, I planned it that way, but still… I thought it would be bit harder?)
(Well, I did got a power up from the titles and all…. Well…. Never mind.)
(But still, thanks to the fake information I provided and the plague, the guards are spread everywhere, making my job way easier.)
(And now that their base of operation is gone as well as hospital are destroyed.)
(It won't take for the chaos to erupt and the guards will get alarmed, but with the current situation already, they will have hard time organizing or anything.)
(AND NOW ITS TIME TO PUT ONE OF THE NAILS INTO THEIR COFFINS!)
THE LAST TARGET: MAYOR MANSION.
ITS TIME TO MURDER THE MAYOR.
(The hospital was easy target since players left it to hunt in the sewers and the barracks were easy target because the all the guards were busy with the plague.)
(But what about the mayor house?)
(Since he is important person and all, I doubt that they are going to just be at easy since they don't want him to get infected and want him to be alive in order to keep the city order.)
(Probably the defenses around the mansion got strengthen.)
(Well… I still have "Those" things that I haven't used yet, so I should somewhat manage. Not only that, even though the titles I got were quite weak, I got multiple of them and that made me quiet much stronger than I though.)
(I can do this!)
(…)
(I can hear some commotion on the streets all the way from here.)
(I guess the chaos will soon start and the guards will probably inform the capitan about it, but it will take time for him to take any actions.)
(But before that happens, I need to kill the mayor and infect his mansion so the infection of the city can start for real and I can start the last part of my plan.)
"Let's go."
I headed straight towards the mayor mansion.
On my way, I saw the players and NPCs panicking, since not only 2 mayor buildings were destroyed, but now they have became new source of the plagues thanks to me spreading it around in there and letting the corpse rot.
Even if the guards are stretched thin, they will probably get together and inform the capitan and the other higher ranking officers in the city aroused what happened inside the city while they were watching over the sewers. But it will take time to gather the guards, since they are stretched everywhere around the city, trying to save it from the plague and helping civils.
AND they also have 2 giant accidents with their buildings.
With the hospital gone, the patience had nowhere to go and not only that, the building itself now infects people instead of helping them.
There is also the barracks that the city guards were using.
Now they lost one of the key location to operate inside the city and it also had become a second new source of plague.
They will have hard time doing anything or taking any proper action for some time, since inside the city will be hindering them.
Pretty much, I don't have to worry about the guards, but that doesn't mean I have infinity time, so I got to hurry.
However, there is a last problem.
The mayor.
With him being still all good two shoes, he will probably help and make sure that the casualties are kept to the minimum while also trying to maintain the control somewhat.
So, I have to kill the "Head" of the city if I want to make it bleed to death.
As long as he lives, the city order will be somewhat maintained, even during this chaos. AND I DON'T WANT THAT.
He will die. I will make sure of that.
And then the chaos consume this place.
"?"
"HEY!" – shouted an orc guard that was guarding the gate leading to the mayor mansion.
"Sorry sir, but you are not allowed to take another step." – said the other orc while pointing his Halbert at the Phantasia.
"The building is on the lock down and without the special permission, you will gain no access."
"Oh."
"Don't worry. I have it." – said Phantasia while putting his hand in his coat.
"Here!"
Phantasia took out a bottle containing the plague and threw it at the orcs feets, making it break and release the plague.
"!?"
"[Poison Shot]!"
Phantasia instantly shot a bullet of poison at the orc, hitting him, but also provoking them.
The other orc guard rushed at the Phantasia and was ready to swing, but.
"[Sticky Goo]."
Phantasia fired a green goo at the rock, hitting him and covering him with it.
"!?"
"What the fuck is this stuff?!" – said the orc.
[Sticky Goo] – [Poison Mage] skill
[Shot out a goo that slows down the enemy movement and additionally lower their movement speed even more.]
[This skill doesn't do any damage.]
"[Acid Ball]!"
"!"
Before orc could have reacted, a ball of acid flew at orc and hit him right in the face.
Exactly moment later, the orc began screaming as his face was burned with the acid.
The other orc rushed at the Phantasia, but before he could do that, Phantasia shot with his crossbow at the orc, forcing him to dodge.
However, moment later, a poison cloud arrow flew at him, hitting him and creating a small cloud of poison.
'Cough' 'Cough'
"FUCK!"
"Where are you fucker?!" – said the orc while swinging his Halbert around, trying to clear the smoke.
"?!"
(Wait! Where is he?!) – though the orc, after noticing that the man was missing.
"…"
"?!"
The orc finally spotted the man and he was right near him, stabbing his friend to death with his poison coated claws.
"!"
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" – shouted the orc while running towards Phantasia.
"…" – Phantasia looked calmly at the orc.
"[Poison Spray]."
Phantasia spray a poison in cone shaped attack, hitting the orc, but not stopping the pissed off orc that counties charging at him.
However, as soon as the orc got close to, he was straight up punched in the face.
"?!"
The orc ended up stopping charging because of the sudden punch, but then he was stabbed right in the throat with claws, before then having the claws being removed, but poisoning the orc in two ways, well technically 3 ways since he was infected with plague.
3 infections and lethal wound did the job and the orc dropped death.
"…"
(Tough bastards.)
(Tougher than guards.)
(Well, make sense and all, since that guy is pretty important and all.)
(So, I guess I will have bit harder time in here.)
(But still they weren't able to resist the poison.)
(Not only that, I'm getting more and more titles and some of them are ranking up.)
(I boosted my intelligent for my spells and agility and strength for fighting at close range.)
(Well, even if I don't stick with the close range for later, the bonus agility and strength will be useful for crafting process, so I'm not losing anything.)
(…)
(Anyway, the guards are dead.)
(And now, its time to kill the "Head" of the city!)
