Chapter 1026 Vita's War 1
Otherwise why else would Draco had given them the semi and not the main stuff?? Do you think he liked to be weird and obtuse?
… cough cough, anyway, the idea was to farm the experience and control their levels while empowering their equipment.
This was not needed for the core members though, as they all had custom Divine sets. Not only that, they all had Rank 5 Divine classes so their exp gain rate was abysmal enough that even the exp from this gave them a great nudge to the next Rank, but not enough.
Even less needed to be said for the Evil Trio. They would have to WORK for that Rank climbing, and they wouldn\'t have gone so far as to make players into leeks if it wasn\'t for their voracious classes.
Draco smiled, satisfied with his entrance while Eva and Shuangtian were throughly embarrassed. They had initially resisted, but then Draco tricked them with his puppy dog eyes and their hearts soften, so they couldn\'t refuse.
At least it worked out somewhat. Still, they couldn\'t help but glare at the happy Draco with indignation.
As for the members of Umbra, their IQ was high and they were smart enough to pretend like they hadn\'t seen anything.
Draco waved his hand majestically to the crowd. "And I hereby declare war on the entire world, the 1st Great Domination War!"
The members of Umbra and the soldiers roared with joy, throwing their weapons high as their morale stood at its peak and their killing intent soaked the world with endless blood.
"Move out!" Eva commanded with cruelty in her eyes.
The soldiers roared and spread out in four directions, north, south, east and west. This was a war of conquest, so anything in all directions would be invaded, brutalized, plundered and slaughtered.
As for the population recovering, Draco, Eva and Shuangtian easily had ways to do so. They never did so before because there was no need, but now there would be, naturally.
The troops of Vita Kingdom all deployed using Epic Ranked Transport Airships. These airships were almost the same Rank as the Morningstar Clan\'s Airforce One but were easier to make.
The development of Vita had seen many Tradeskills members of Umbra easily reach the Master Rank of their Tradeskills. Many even used the Tradeskill Altar and various resources provided by the Goddess Descendants to reach the Grandmaster Rank.
So Umbra was STACKED in this regard.
The NPC soldiers were split into ranks and legions led by members of Umbra, who were led by core members. Who were then lead by command Deployed Soldier, who reported to the Evil Trio.
Vita Kingdom\'s military system had matured greatly. They had over 500,000 soldiers now, many times more than what they had before. They had relaxed their recruitment and provided even more benefits with their current riches, so many elite NPC fighters were frothing at the mouth to join.
Unlike the members of Umbra, the soldiers were not equipped with Legendary or Divine sets. Draco did not have time to make so many custom ones and he didn\'t want to anyway.
While he had ways to ensure loyalty, these NPCs were fellows with one life unlike his members of Umbra. Every member of Umbra\'s equipment was soul bound but the NPCs couldn\'t achieve such a feature.
Apart from that, Draco wanted to form a legion tempered by war and with a unique theme, so he had already prepared months ahead of time for this and crafted hundreds of Epic Rank Dragorugio sets.
So each member had an Epic Rank set that was mass produced by high quality, allowing them to bring out their power and even worse, use Destruction Energy of Draco without a care.
Any player who fought against them would weep, mourn and gnash their teeth after finding out their account was either deleted or was severely crippled to the point were deletion was necessary.
The army was organized using the unique army organization of the ancient times, which was to use factors of 10 to organize the army.
So 10 men were formed into a squad, lead by a Sergeant.
100 men were formed into a platoon, which was made up of 10 squads with ten sergeants answering to a Lieutenant.
A 1000 men were formed into a company, which was made up of 10 platoons with 10 lieutenants, led by a Captain.
10,000 men were formed into a battalion, which was made up of 10 companies with by 10 captains led by a Major.
100,000 men were formed into a regiment, which was made up of 10 battalions with 10 majors lead by a Colonel.
1 million men were formed into an army, which was made up of 10 regiments with 10 colonels led by a General.
Every private in the army was an NPC, and they weren\'t allowed to hold any higher Ranks yet.
Every Sergeant who led 10 privates was from the core serf members of Umbra as well as the basic members, and the elites selected from them to form 50,000 Sergeants.
The core serfs were basically probationary basic members of Umbra, and after this was, accumulating enough merit would allow them to ascend. For now, they were equipped with custom Semi-Epic equipment that could be raised to Epic and above.
The basic members numbered 12,000, so the formed the minority of the Sergeants but had more say than the core serfs.
Every Lieutenant who led 10 Sergeants was an Advanced member of Umbra. There were only 4,200 Advanced members and the army needed 5,000 slots for Lieutenants, so the extra slots were swallowed up by those Advanced members who were elites, taking on two platoons instead of one.
Every Captain who led 10 Lieutenants was an Expert members of Umbra. There were only 340 Expert members, and the army needed 500 Captain\'s. Likewise, the best of them like Wee Cunt, Panty King and Loli King took the role of two company leaders instead of one.
Every Major who led 10 Captains was a core member of Umbra, and they were 46 in number. Likewise, the army needed 50 of them, so Draco supplemented by making Hikari, Roma and Zaine Captains of their own legions.
He also threw the troublesome Vano into this position after finding out that the fellow was also Rank 6 like his beauties and had been quietly training off screen.
The army only had 500,000 men thereabout, so there were only 5 regiments at this time. So the army only needed 5 colonels and they were selected from the absolute elites of the core members.
Shadowheart, Misery, AP_Berzerker, Sublime Notion and Essence Stalker. Their spots among the Majors were filled in by others in the meantime.
The army split into four, Shadowheart leading his regiment of 100,000 to the north, Misery leading his regiment of 100,000 to the east, AP_Berzerker leading his regiment of 100,000 to the west and Essence Stalker leading his regiment of 100,000 to the south.
As for Sublime, she made a beeline straight for the coasts, opening up a path of dominance around Cario Continent and locking the continent in from all sides.
Watching them file out, the various players and NPCs who resided in Vita or were using the place for their own gain couldn\'t help but feel their stomachs churn. The felt like this sight represented something deep and profound, as the entire world order was about to change in the most brutal way.
Draco, Eva and Shuangtian watched this with narrowed eyes. As for the, they had a bigger purpose this time and it was something that no one could predict.
They are the head cleaver, targeting the Rank 7 fellows directly!
(Author\'s Note: From here on out, the chapters will be full of revelations for the new classes of the core members and maybe some of their sets. It would be spread out chapter by chapter in order to not fatigue your eyes with endless screens, mixed in with the slaughter and begging of the innocents they are about to invade. My advice is that if you use coins, switch to fast passed until you see \'Vita\'s War - End\' as the title so that you don\'t "waste" them. I will post this note again at the beginning of the next chapter and all subsequent chapters like this to remind you.)
