Rioneed: VRMMORPG

There was hardly any strong opponent in these huge armies. Ibro wasn't surprised by this fact. He knew that the northern lord had gathered the strongest men with him and divided them on his two armies. 

As all of the two armies had been wiped out, what remained now were only the mere soldiers. Ibro didn't underestimate them though. Soldiers were pawns that followed the orders of the lord. 

If he gave the northern house a chance to choose a new lord, then all of these weak soldiers would turn into ferocious lions. The battle continued for three days. 

During this period, Ibro had collected his desired 1 million SPR units and got an additional 500k units. He had already gathered enough SPR stones that he needed to buy the god-like scout ability. 

He didn't unlock it though as he wanted to finish this war. After three days, the numbers of the NPCs army had begun to shrink. Gorsag and Erond had delivered news from the game forums. 

The news was related to the current state at the northern house right now. Some players were following this battle course and relayed the news of it on the forums. 

Other players had gone to the northern lord fort and informed them about what happened here. After three days of investigation, the northern house had confirmed the death of their lord. 

They also knew about the current massacre Ibro was commencing to their troops. At once the order of retreat had been issued. Ibro didn't want this war to end this early. 

He was gaining a lot of SPR units and stones in great amounts. He also was training his new skeletons whose numbers had reached a frightening figure. 

Their level was increasing day after day. If this war continued for another week then Ibro would be ready to start his attack against the whole empire. 

But now after their retreat, Ibro had nothing to do except closing that gate. Before closing it, he sent in some of the skeletons warriors. They entered there and never returned again. 

That made Ibro retreat on his temptation to attack the northern house through this teleportation ring. Ibro had no other choice except to destroy this ring. 

He did as before; he put his hand over the ring and let the system do its magic. Once the ring was destroyed, this war was officially concluded. 

Ibro stood proudly amid his endless skeletons as he observed the whole battlefield. This was a difficult battle that had a lot of turns.

"My king, the news had come from the other frontlines. We had defended the sneak attack over our village successfully. Our vanguard army had managed to conquer 3 cities so far. What should we do now?"

Ibro was attracted by Erond's words. He smiled as his men were very excited by this win.

"What do you think we should do?"

Gorsag replied at once with great enthusiasm:

"We should strike the northern territories fast. The northern powerhouse has taken a strong blow. We should take advantage of this and widen the scope of our reign."

Ibro didn't reply but he looked towards Erond who added:

"I'm with Gorsag in his suggestion. We need to deepen the wounds of the northern territories."

Ibro actually felt the same. He was thinking about another issue. After all the northern lands were under the jurisdiction of the whole empire. After some deep thinking he ordered:

"Divide the current army into two halves; one would move to help the northern vanguard in taking down as many cities as they can. Erond and Alpha death knight will be the supreme leaders of this army. 

Your mission is to take down all the cities and also I want you to train commanders. Depending only on the three of you is tiring and limiting my choices."

The alpha death knight only nodded his head, while Erond replied:

"You have a point here, my king. I will ensure that next time we meet I will have many commanders that we can depend upon. But, what about the other half of the army?"

Ibro looked south while saying:

"This army will form a line of defense on our southern cities. I don't want the empire to sneak attack us while our armies are away from here."

The three men in front of him understood his reason. Ibro knew his presence here would be permanent, so he needed to plan his empire on strong foundations. 

After this small meeting, Erond and the alpha death knight took half of the army and moved towards the north. Ibro had returned to his palace as he needed to rest. 

This battle had a great pressure over him. Although he was a cultivator, he was a low-level one. Gorsag was moving behind him as he wanted to speak with him about some issues.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Ibro asked in a tired voice as he sat on the big chair inside the main hall of his palace. Gorsag replied at once:

"I figured out the role of the southern army, but what about the defending army at the village? After all, this army number is huge."

Ibro smiled as he said:

"This army will have a role in the near future. I just need to rest and then will assign their mission to them."

Gorsag looked in hesitation towards Ibro. He was curious about the plans he had for this army, but he knew how tired Ibro was right now. So, he postponed his further questions as he asked again:

"Do you want me to send them here?"

"No, I will head to the village after I wake up."

Ibro needed to go to the village. this war had pointed out one major problem, and there was a solution to this problem inside his village. Gorsag then asked his last question:

"I want to use this city and all of our controlled cities to form a huge army made of locals here."

Ibro sighed. This proposal was issued once before by Gorsag. He knew Gorsag had a good point here, but it wasn't a wise move right now.

"I'm not against using the NPCs here to form an army, but that needed some preparation from our side. 

I have to do something first, after that, we will openly recruit from the NPCs here. Now, leave and try to adapt to the world here. I need to have some rest first."

Gorsag then excused himself as he left the palace. Ibro didn't do anything else as he chose a random sleeping room on the third floor of this palace and laid himself on the soft bed. 

Once his body touched this comfy bed, he entered into a deep sleep within seconds. After one-day sleep, Ibro woke up with great energy. He went down to the hall to find it empty. 

He exited the palace to find his personal guards waiting for him in the garden of this palace. Ibro pointed to one cultivator and told him to send a message to Gorsag. 

He didn't need Gorsag to come with him to the village. After the cultivator relayed the message, Ibro moved towards his village with the help of one cultivator.
