Rioneed: VRMMORPG

The battle didn't last over more than a few minutes after which these demons took their last breath noisily as usual. After that Ibro said to Lorik and Fronide:

"Are you satisfied now?"

Their eyes were stuck on Ibro as a glue stuck on a paper. Their minds failed to process what just happened. Was it this easy to kill these seeds? That's what both of them thought of. 

What happened later was natural, as both of them agreed to be freed from their misery and decided both to serve Ibro like Topan.

'Do you want to face all of the demons in one go like before?'

Ibro sighed. That system never let a chance to tease him. Ibro then instructed:

'One million at a time would be better to deal with.'

'As you wish.'

Ibro then started to kill all the demons in the two huge armies in front of him. Although he was freeing one million at a time, it took him a couple of hours to finish.

"Master, I have a couple of commanders who are my close friends. If you wish, I can invite them to come here like what Topan did with us."

Lorik added approving Fronide offer:

"Yes, master. I also have a couple of commanders who are close to me. Do you want me to invite them to join us?"

Ibro was surprised by their offer, and then he found it logical. Topan already had a couple of trusted commanders, then why did the two of them didn't have a couple too? Ibro had no reason to refuse at all as he replied:

"Of course I agree. Go and bring them. Any commander is welcomed here as long as he is one of your friends."

Fronide hesitated for a bit then he said:

"I have some friends from outside the empire. We were friends in previous worlds. May I invite them too?"

"I have no objection to anyone. Just bring whoever you want."

The three NPCs' faces showed excited smiles. Ibro was happy as the more commanders to join the more powerful his force would become. 

Topan then asked for permission from Ibro as all of their soldiers came here without bringing their families with them. Ibro had no reason to object as he agreed on their return to their cities and bring back their families. 

Ibro gave them one day to finish all of this and reunite with him here again. During this, the messenger he sent for his alpha death knight had come back with good news. 

He had nearly 10k rings which were full to the max with cores. Although the majority of cores were grade 3 and 4, they were enough. 

Ibro then sent 5k rings to Rinobak at the village to use it in building what was missing in the village. The rest would eventually be used at the villager recruitment hall. 

The rest of the rings he stored at his main storage ring. After that, he planned for his current army to start the long-awaited monsters clearing plan. The army stationed here was around 100 million skeletons. 

Ibro divided them into three major groups; one was stationed at the village entrance to protect it. One group stayed back with Ibro for his personal protection from any commander if he refused his offer. 

These two groups were 10 million skeletons each. The remaining 80 million skeletons were divided further into 4 groups, each with 20 million skeletons. 

They took each direction of the main four directions and went to start their mission. Ibro divided 500 guards to be commanders on these 4 armies. 

When he finished all of this, he returned to hunting monsters in the area around the village. It took one day till he was alarmed by the system about the return of the three commanders to the meeting place. 

When Ibro returned there, he found it quite lively. Topan had brought with him his last commander friend. Lorik brought 5 commanders who were joking with them freely. 

Fronide was the highest one of them who brought more commanders. He brought dozens of commanders with him. The whole area had turned into a teleportation zone as there were around 20 teleportation rings here. 

The number of the soldiers here had exceeded the 250 million mark and was nearing the 300 million mark. Ibro first instructed Topan to move all the newly joined NPCs with their families to the village. 

He sent one of the guards with him to inform Rinobak. He also instructed Rinobak to finish constructing the teleportation portal so the village could be connected with all cities under Ibro's control. 

He told Topan about this portal and promised him to move the families to any city they desire. After that Ibro began to meet all of the new commanders. 

He grouped them together inside the isolation dome and made a presentation first to demonstrate his ability. 

These commanders had all reacted the same as Topan, Lorik, and Fronide, except for two. They sought more time. Ibro didn't reject, but he instructed his armies to surround these two commanders' armies. 

Although this was a bold provocative move from Ibro, Ibro didn't care as he declared it clearly to all the commanders:

"When I invited you here, you had two choices only. They better choose wisely. After all, I'm trying to help you out here."

Ibro's words were direct, but no one objected to them. After all, they weren't kids anymore. Any one of them would choose what was best for their own interests. 

The situation had been divided into two obviously opposite situations. On one side, Ibro was freeing one million NPCs at one go. On the other side, two separate armies were surrounded by a huge army of skeletons. 

The war didn't start, but the situation there was very tense. One side was full of cheerful cries and oaths of allegiance, while the other was so tense that you can hear the sounds of the war already. 

The two rogue commanders were already in a huge dilemma. They wanted to escape here but they couldn't let their soldiers die here like this. 

They had the ability to escape here alone, but they without their huge armies were nothing. They would be subjected to humiliation back at their homes. 

They also weren't accepting serving this small kid even if he had the relief to their torture. What worsened their situation further were these happy screams that came from the distance every now and then. 

These cheers had lowered their armies' morale a lot. They felt if this continued, they would lose their grip over their armies. They had nothing to do, they were cornered badly here. 

Ibro was always observing these two actions using the system. He was glad they both hadn't done any stupid moves yet. He concentrated on liberating all the armies around him.
