Chapter 264: We are being attacked!
Immediately they had bid Jake and Alex goodbye, the core members of the Fang hunters were seen in a meeting trying to discuss the way forward for the guild.
"Will they be okay?" Peter asked as he was seen twirling his finger casually while deep in thought.
"Do you think that the combined strength of both Alex and Jake won't be enough to take care of any sort of problem?" Paul asked.
"Not that, we are all talking about a King tier beasts here. The same tier General Paul and Kron struggled against that day." Peter said.
"And may I remind you that we weren't at full strength on that day." Paul replied back.
"General Paul has a point right there you know." Jack said.
"Peter, I understand what you are saying. And I know how you feel right now as even I'm worried for them both but what they are doing is for the betterment of the guild's future." Kate said.
"Fine! Whatever you all say." Peter said as he relaxed back on his chair.
"So what shall we do in the meantime?" Sophia asked.
"That is the correct question we should be asking." Emily said as she looked at the silent Head General Humfree.
"I suggest we grow beyond our territory." Humfree said with his face squinted.
"Beyond our territory?" General Wilfred asked.
"Yes! Think of this, if we stick to our territory here at Aurora, we will be limited in our resources and land. With more conquered towns under our belt, we would have more territory in our control and we can expand outwardly." Humfree said.
"But wouldn't it cause trouble with the other guilds?" Kate asked.
"Trouble? Do you think they will care? As long as we don't touch their territories, we are safe. What do you think the Iron Fist Guild were trying to do when they obstructed the border of the Fang hunters'?" Humfree asked.
"They were trying to take over us." Simyon replied.
"Correct! Besides you all are missing one detail." Humfree said.
"And what's that?" Geo asked with a raised brow.
"The Iron Fist are not part of the top 3 independent Guild just for their strength, but for the amount of men they control. The way they expand beyond their territory rapidly is what made them most feared as they control at least 500 hundred thousand guild members and that is why they are called the largest guild." Humfree said.
"Five hundred thousand members?!" All the young ones at the table shouted out at once in shock.
"Please remind me again how many men we have." Peter gulped.
"Because of the faith people have in the werewolf slayer, we were able to increase our might and numbers from two thousand to twenty thousand men." Humfree said.
"What!?! Then why the hell are we threading roughly with them when we could be wiped out in the blink of an eye?" Geo asked.
"Could be! But not yet wiped out. And that is because they are still somewhat afraid of the strength of the werewolf slayer. Especially after what Jake did to the vice leader of the guild, they would be extremely cautious since they don't even know our full might yet." Humfree said.
"And should I point out to you all from what Head General Humfree said, most of their members aren't from the guild from the start, they must have come from the other towns or small time guilds they took over." Paul said.
"Which is why I said we should also try to expand outwards and grow our strength and numbers too." Humfree said.
"Alright! We understand that but where do we start from? How do we start?" Kate asked. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
"Simple! We send out a little out of our men with one or two of the core members here at the table to a specific small time guild and wage war against them taking over them." Humfree replied.
"War? I don't know about this, I don't think Jake would have agreed to this. Hurting those that did nothing bad to us." Kate said.
"You need to stop being sentimental all the time otherwise you wouldn't grow beyond this point." Humfree said.
"Did you think if any other guilds had the amount of power we had, they wouldn't try to take over us by now? Heck! The Iron Fist are doing the same thing already."
"He has a point there though." Peter said.
"Fine!" Kate sighed as she looked down on her table in thought.
"So where do we start from? For you to suggest this, means you must have been planning all these for some time and which means you must also have a town in mind." Emily said.
"Indeed young lady!" Humfree smiled. "We would attack the town in the following week with at least five thousand men and one of the core members to lead the attack."
"Alright, what town are we going to?" Sophia asked nonchalantly.
"The town is…" Humfree was about to say when he got interrupted by a loud knock on the double doors.
"Who the hell is interrupting our meeting?" General Paul shouted out loud angrily.
"I'm sorry sir but the matter is very urgent!" A voice was heard from the other side.
"Then that means it can wait, we are currently busy." General Wilfred shouted out too.
Everybody could hear the person gulp loudly before saying his next words.
"I'm sorry sir but it can't wait at all as this man is very urgent and important." The man said.
Paul looked towards Humfree who nodded at him and all the young ones at the table quickly pulled out different maskes and they put it on their faces. When they were done, a loud click was heard then the door opened up.
Immediately it did, a man was seen running into the middle of the room and he quickly fell on his knees in a bowing position.
"What is it? What is so important that it can't wait?" General Humfree asked.
"I'm sorry all respected members of the Fang hunters' for interrupting your meeting but this matter was of utmost importance." The man said.
"Well what is it?" Peter asked impatiently.
The man on his knees gulped loudly before he said his next set of words.
"We… we… the Fang hunters' is about to be attacked." The man said.
"Attacked? Well take a few men and deal with whoever is foolish enough to attack us and stop disturbing us already." Jack shouted.
"I'm afraid we can't handle this on our own without the help of the core members of the guild." The man said.
"Who are those attacking?" Humfree asked as he stroke his beard causally.
"Head General… we are being attacked by the Iron Fist Guild and… and…." The man said.
"And what?" Peter asked impatiently after hearing that the Iron Fist Guild were attacking.
The man gulped loudly again loudly before he continued. "They brought with them a total of a hundred thousand men."
"What!!!?!!!" Everybody shouted out loud at once.
