《Conquest Online》Game’s 1st Update
Advertisement
The fact that the first game update came a month sooner than it did before, showed Jamie that he couldn’t rely on information from his past life anymore .
Things were changing, besides he didn’t know much of Legendary Village lords, so it was gonna be hard to predict what they will be up to anyways .
As for the Absolute Defence Event, it’s what could risk their village getting wiped out .
Not only does it corrupt all the outlanders and beasts on this island, making them ferocious and bloodthirsty, it also makes pirates land on islands trying to occupy them .
To somehow protect the village lords, the outlanders and pirates will at first fight the biggest threats out there, which will most likely be orc settlements or other pirates that might land .
After the ‘strongest foes’ were killed, they attacked the rest of the settlements in the island to make it easier to occupy.
He logged off the game and decided to gather as much information as he could for the next 6 hours .
** Knock Knock **
The door opened and a familiar face walked in, he would normally expect Jason to come in throw in his food after slapping him a few times but this time it was someone else .
“ Why did you come here, is Cara okay “
“ The lady ordered me to sneak back into the kitchen and resume my work as a household maid “
Was she dumb? Wasn’t she on the run, what if other maids understand who she is?
“ I know what you’re thinking but dont worry, I was just a kitchen assistant, the only one who knows me its chef Ricard and he isn’t a chatty one . Besides when you’re as insignificant as myself people rarely pay attention to you “
Jamie wanted to reply with “ tell me about it “ , the guy had grown several centimetres, his hair and body regained vigour and he even put on muscles but nobody had understood anything .
When you were a cripple, nobody would notice you even if you put on wings .

People just avoided him like plague, scared more of imagining being in his place than they were scared of him, or of God who would punish such behaviour.
“ Well I will be noticing you from now on, what is your name ? “
“ Amanda lord “
“ well thanks for bringing me food Amanda, look after yourself “
Once she went about her business, he opened his socials to see people’s reaction .
The only post who ranked higher than his own, was one posted by @CqInform24
Title: MASSACRE OR RETRIBUTION ?
The article spoke of the tragedy that had happened on Jamie’s family, obviously the death of 7 branch family heirs was going to cause massive waves and with Jamie’s uncle being unable to form diplomatic ties,
the family was definitely about to face problems.
The second trending post was obviously about Jamie giving support to the Bloodkin clan, after him Tina and Arnold had followed suit and made posts about how grateful they were of their fans and that they wished to support them financially. In short, the fan club trend was about to blow up even more with many more applying to reap some benefits.
Once a short cut was visible people would fling in like moths to a flame .
Jamie continued to kill time reading about worldly affairs, apparently the Seraphin guild had been hit by thieves and over 100 game launchers were stolen, making the US super pissed and ready to ‘ aim swords ‘ at China who was the prime suspect .
The political world had already gained massive influence inside the game, people like Jamie can blabber about being a conquer for days and even though many people will get inspired... they wont be inspired enough to fuck around with governments .
And even with all these major things going on people were more interested on the Absolute Defence event, the forum was full of posts and CTube full of uploads and video predictions.
“ Finally “
Once the game patched, he got into the launcher and re entered .

The second he materialised in his village he was hit by notification windows .

Third place rewards: Heavy Infantry profession gate, 1 core of stage 1 monster, 3 wolf-mount creation dens and 1 enigma chest
“ The rewards are quite generous, especially the first and second place rewards but... this isn’t going to be easy “
Yet again he hated not being a rich kid, those bastards would probably hire guilds to assist them into fending off the monster attacks, while he would have to fight orcs, goblins, pirates and Nagas all by himself .
Without thinking any further he gathered everyone including the farmers and fishermen, he had to tell them about this crisis that they were about to face .
“ Did something bad happen Ralph, he doesn’t look like he is in the mood “
“ He certainly doesn’t... he is making that face you make when I disagree with you “
Once he saw Eve’s face ‘ darken ‘ , Ralph hastened his steps to avoid the calamity.
“ What are your orders lord “
“ Is everyone here ? “
“ Yes “ replied Eveline who was the last to arrive accompanied by Pompei and a few other villagers .
“ I am a straightforward guy which is why I wont beat around the bush . In 7 days we might be under attack “
The villagers reaction defied his expectation, except for the usual Popmpei shitting his pants, only a few fishermen had a worried look on their face .
“ Don’t be surprised lord, your recent victories have increased their trust on you.
They wont panic about something like this”
Delighted though he was, this idiot had to understand the gravity of the situation.
There was a risk they could be wiped out in a week’s time .
“ Have the goblins mined enough for us to make weapons? “
“ Since the 50 newly added combatants on Ralph’s team already have weapons, l making weapons for the rest should not be a problem “
So far so good but he also needed the blacksmiths to make him a good sword, he wasn’t going to fight with a Trident again it was too damn long for him .
“ Oh I almost forgot “
He handed the blueprints he got after upgrading the village to Eveline and told her to give those to the blacksmiths .
“ Have them make shields and spears for all of our heavy spearmen , and also have them make a decent sword for myself “
He assigned duties to everyone and send Finnan to bring the Goblin riders and the lizardmen to him since he would probably need to mobilise the goblin scouts.
Having a map was better than using scouts but since he was going to fight all the time, paying attention to the map wasn’t an option .
One wrong move and he could lose his life, war wasn’t a joke .
“ And by the way, tell Finnan he will be the leader of the Heavy Spearmen once he returns. Ralph will no longer be there to lead them “
“ Lord, you’re making it sound as if I will be dead “
“ Lets hope so “ said Eve who had been waiting for the chance to get back at him .
