(Gatusso Town)
Just like how the WhiteSabers had pulled away their soldiers from their usual stations for the decisive war at Bernabeu, the DarkSky guild had too, leaving only a small regiment behind to keep law and order.
Currently, only 3600 soldiers were left to defend Gatusso town of the usual regiment of over 15,000, with the rest being drafted for war.
"Man I'm so glad I did not get drafted for war…. I'm one of the weakest members in the guild, which is why they always put me in the vanguard for the cannon fodder wave. If I would have been drafted, I was pretty much guaranteed to die early and lose a couple levels" A DarkSky member said, as he expressed his satisfaction for not being drafted to his colleague.
"Naww… I'm pissed they didn't draft me, I'm lagging behind and the dream to become a top 10,000 ranked player is slipping away. I need a big war to hopefully have a good performance and progress.
I even volunteered to go, however, just like you,I'm one of the weaker members too, so they did not take me" The colleague replied as he seemed slightly disheartened that the guild did not take him.
However, as the two bantered about whether or not they should have been drafted to war, they had no idea about the threat approaching them at breakneck speed, as at this moment, Lord Dumpy was jumping through the land to arrive at Gatusso with breakneck speed.
"Man this war is an easy win…. The WhiteSabers are not The Uprising, they won't be able to do shit against us, we are the DarkSky" The guild member argued, as he tried to convince his colleague that not going to the war was a mistake.
"To be fair, the uprising isn't shit either without 'TheBoss', however, I don't think any army can win a war when 'TheBoss' participates in it. That man is like a gaming god" the colleague replied, as the guild member shrugged his shoulders in agreement.
"Let's just hope, we never have to meet 'TheBoss' in a fight. If the entire righteous faction can't get that man then I don't know who can" the guild member said, as right when he said these words, a giant frog flew over the towns shoddy spiked wooden walls and leaped straight on top of a stone house, damaging it's ceiling.
*CRASH*
The loud impact was heard town-wide, as everyone turned at once to look at what caused the disturbance, only for a dagger to be impaled straight into their eye.
-12,500 CRITICAL HIT!
"Who?" Muttered the DarkSky guild member as his colleague dropped dead, as at that moment he saw 'TheBoss' disembarking from his giant pet, a murderous gleam shining in his eyes.
"B-b-b-BOSS!" He shouted, trembling as Leo gave him a curved smile.
Never in his life had Leo seen someone so genuinely scared out of their wits just from his presence, but it looked like his legend and fear was finally starting to spread, becoming big enough that just his presence struck fear into the heart of his enemies.
"Go… inform Cervantez that his father has finally arrived in town" Leo said, as he spared the trembling man before him, just so that he could strike fear into the heart of an enemy that wasn't even present here.

(Meanwhile Cervantez)
Cervantez was busy looking over at the enemy camp forming a few miles off the city walls of Bernabeu.
The capital city had already been closed down, with no citizens allowed to enter and leave, as a martial law was enforced.
Although it was a city under the West Duke, upon Cervantez's insistence, he imposed a martial law, just because Cervantez did not wish to take a chance of any rebel sympathizers causing internal problems for them while they mounted a defence against an external threat.
"Their forces are at least 100,000 strong, maybe 120,000. They have about 20,000 mounted warriors and some siege weapons, No wonder the WhiteSabers are called one of the best guilds in the game, they definitely are not a weak bunch" Cervantez commented, as he subtly appreciated what the WhiteSaber Guild had been able to achieve within the game so far.
"Unfortunately for you though, this is where your journey ends…. For today you have challenged an enemy that you simply cannot surmount" Cervantez said, as just as he was about to turn away from the city wall and return to his war-station, a guild member came running towards him with a panicked face.
"Guildmaster! Guildmaster! Open the guild chat immediately…. Please, it's an emergency! It's 'TheBoss'.... THE BOSS" A guild member said, as he stumbled and fell to Cervantez's feet.
"What happened?" Cervantez inquired as he opened the guild chat.
[The Boss has invaded Gatusso town and is killing anyone and everyone wearing a DarkSky guild robe! We are no match for him. We are being slaughtered. ]
[The Boss has the giant frog with him, they're killing everyone….. and it looks like the goddess PinkLotus is fighting with him too, and… and…. It looks like Vice Guild Master Skylion is here too!]
[Vice-Guildmaster has betrayed us… he's suplexing DarkSky members, he's fighting as intensely as the rest]
Just these three messages caused a shit-storm to brew within the DarkSky guild, as most guild members started to lose their minds.
Even Cervantez could not believe what he was reading, as he could not understand why someone would even bother attacking Gatusso? It wasn't a strategically important location.
However, what baffled him more was that Luke was involved in the attack, as although Luke had left the guild, Cervantez never expected him to hunt down his own ex-guild members.
"So…. You've finally shown your true colors Skylion, I guess my kindness meant nothing to you" Cervantez said as he felt the pain of Luke's betrayal sting his heart.
"Very well then…. I guess it's a lesson learned. Since you've abandoned the guild first, I'll treat you accordingly the next time I see you" Cervantez said, as his face turned ominously stoic.
