Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"Good,"Lady Nada said, "I will now mobilize the guards and all the NPCs capable of fighting to protect the important buildings here," she said, "I can't really interfere much in this tide, but I can give you some help here and there. feel free to make your players get the gears they need from the blacksmith association, and everything is on me," she added, with her charming smile which caused me to feel comfortable.

"Sure, thanks for the help," I nodded, before she said:

"Go now and prepare."

Everyone just nodded before standing up, and leaving. I was left alone with her, while she glanced at me with her wide smile before saying:

"You know, if you managed to cut your way to the heart of the town mayor's mansion, you can find the heart stone of the town. Stab your weapon into it and at once a challenge will be issued, a challenge between two towns," she said, while winking her eyes to me, "but this is a top secret, so make sure you didn't hear it from me," she added, with her sly smile that I loved.

"Sure, I just learnt from witch's legacy," I nodded, while knowing what she referred to just now.

She wanted to help me in my crusade, as dealing with all these enemies alone would be quite dangerous. I felt grateful for her extended care for me, and I knew I had gained a great family member, like a mother to me.

I then excused myself and went away, to the outside, where I saw my main players there. I walked towards the gate as I said:

"Follow me, we have a lot of work to do."

They silently walked by my side, while I exited the gates, heading to the streets. "I have made these gears for our top players, and for the rest of them, just make them visit the blacksmith guild where they will have their own weaker gears," I said, as I knew for sure the guild wouldn't afford to arm all my players with fancy gears.

"Is that for money? How much?" Elyo suddenly asked.

"It's a gift from the town mayor," I simply replied, before throwing the bomb in their faces, "make our players ready for monster tide to hit us tomorrow morning."

Their faces changed at once, while Rody asked:

"Isn't it supposed to be next month?"

"Yes, but our beloved enemy had made something and hastened the time of the tide," I said, while recalling the enemies inside the town, "how about other guilds and groups here in the town?" I asked.

"There are many groups here, but we don't know their stand in regard to us," Gabri said."

"Good, tomorrow make a list Gabri, each group or guild refuses to show up, mark them down, and find me their locations."

I walked with them towards the adventurer guild, while asking:

"How many players have we acquired so far?"

"Over forty thousand till now, and the number is increasing," Gabri replied.

"Good, let's arrange them then, and make a private elite group of players for each one of us," I said, as I entered the parameters of the adventurer guild, to be met with a huge crowd of players lining and crowding to enter there.

"Sigh, this would take some time," I sighed, helplessly, while refusing the others' suggestion to announce my identity to enter there.

I didn't want any more shouting and things like that. so, they all left to manage the current issues, all except Diana, who kept standing beside me, in silence, while waiting to enter the main hall of the association.

"Why do I feel you plan for something big?" she suddenly asked, as if she was able to read my mind.

"Well, I really intend to do something big," I paused, as we already entered the hall. The moment I entered there, all the NPCs stopped what they were doing, stood up and shouted in unison:

"Welcome esteemed hero of our town."

Their salute alerted everyone, inside and outside, as they all looked at me with questioning eyes at first, before the hall exploded with wild cheers again!

"Long live mighty guild master."

"Long live mighty guild master."

"Long live mighty guild master."

I just sighed, helplessly, as I was busted! I just nodded to them, accepting their congratulations and deep wishes with my formal smile, while making my way to the back hall, where I entered and closed the door after Diana entered it.

One NPC was waiting for me there, as he gave me a hundred scrolls while saying:

"My master said to deliver these to your esteemed hero."

I took the scrolls from him while looking in doubt to them. I only asked for one, but he gave me a hundred.

"He also said that going to war can't be done alone. You need the help of your trusted and capable subordinates, and this is just a gift for you to do so," he added, explaining why there were a hundred instead of one.

I sighed, again, helplessly, as I said:

"Send my greetings to master, and thank him for me."

I then took my leave, again passing through the whole cheerful crowd, until I exited their area of presence in a whole hour!

I was already tired from smiling and replying to good wishes by thanks!

"So, you are planning to go somewhere alone?" Diana asked, as she was, amidst all that chaos, calm and silent. I just side glanced at her, as I was totally exhausted from all this.

"I will go to the main town of that Trinity guild and destroy the town over their heads after I deal with the monster tide!"

Her eyebrows were raised slightly as she replied in surprise:

"I thought I was one vengeful person, but it seems I'm inferior to you."

I smiled while pointing to the scroll I just took out and said:

"This is the way to go there, and now I have a hundred of them. so, we will all go to make some noise there."

She chuckled, as she said:

"Destruction is my specialty, don't worry about that."

That sword girl was really bloody, and I was in need for her actions and violence in this mission. Though I planned to go alone, and was, at first, frustrated from the association leader's behavior, but now I was feeling some warmth inside me.

It was great having friends and company when fighting against the whole world!

"Where do you want to go now?" she suddenly asked, and I smiled, mysteriously, as I said:

"Let's gather our old friends, we have a war tomorrow and they need to be ready."

Diana understood what I meant by that. I was going to call the two crazy sisters, and invite them to join me tomorrow.

I opened my friends' list, and sent a brief message to Aria. I told her the monster tide will be tomorrow, and I want to meet with everyone who would be willing to help.

The old gathering I had with her when we went to the mystic art meeting was now needed to be held again. I knew she might be quite busy, as she received a greatly damaged group with many loose ends, but I was sure she must have done things brilliantly while I was away at the mystic art sacred lands.

"Where are we going to meet them?" Diana asked, as the day she met them was the day I met her, and the day she was forced and punished to join me as a butler by her master.

I was sure she was now feeling grateful for that fortunate encounter that made us meet, and I was too feeling like her.

"Let's meet in a restaurant, what do you think?" I asked, as I had no place in mind.

"That old classy restaurant? No, let's select another place," she shook her head, as if she still hated the place there, "let's meet at the town's mayor mansion. I'm sure the mayor wouldn't disagree for that, and such a place would be a great and clear message about your current identity."

I really liked her suggestion, so I hurriedly sent the message about the place of meeting, telling Aria to bring everyone and come to meet with me at the town's mayor mansion.

The name itself was heavy, and selecting that place like it was my own home was a very clear message to those who would have second thoughts. I really liked this move from Diana, simple but cruel at the same time. so, I said in a good mood:

"Come, let's go and meet our old friends."

She just followed me silently, without knowing what she was thinking of right now.

The moment I reached there, I found many guards already gathering, responding to the call of Lady Nada. I didn't know if she was home or not, but I went to one of them as I asked:

"Hi, I'm player Agatha, and I want to hold a meeting with my own allies inside the mansion. Is Lady Nada here?"

The NPC guard looked at me, calmly at first, before he was startled, before leaning on one knee while saying:

"Greetings esteemed hero of the town, it's my honor to meet you!"

'Oh damn, not again!!!'
