[Information About Some 'Generals' in the King's Army ( Not complete ) - X_MarksThe_Spot
So we all know there are 4 different territories on this continent, but what we don't know are the enemies we are facing. I took some time and information from various sources whom I will not name, and I'm here to make a small compilation of them. This information is for the public to help them avoid these 'Generals' since they will kill you. Like seriously, they are, so god-damn stronger it ain't funny.
Firstly will be from my own experience, I'm currently situated in the South and have been lucky enough to meet some Traveler friends while I was a Leader of a village. During our gameplay, we fought a lot of undead and dark beings, however, we also happened to witness a fight between golems and the undead.
Commanding the golems was a chimera individual which looked to be a combination of a lion, a goat, and a snake. Looking up documents in history, I found that this is one of the most basic forms of a chimera and originated in the ancient country of Greece. Of course, this is a game and while we can take information from the internet and hypothesize what the creature would do and can do, there is no real information that can be taken from these online resources.
The chimera commanded an army of golems ranging from stand human-giant like golems to animals such as wolves, lions, snakes, and even birds. Facing this army of golems was an army of undead. Zombies of various humans and monsters were seen with some skeletons of various sizes as well with the biggest threat being a skeleton dragon. Sitting on the head of the skeleton dragon was the commander and 'General' of the Southern region.
There is no name for such 'General' since we weren't able to interact with her, however, from our observations we can conclude it is some sort of female human or humanoid. Please remember these observations are from our eyes as well as other witnesses' memory, therefore there might be some slight differences from the real deal when someone sees the humanoid, but we are doing our best to gather more information.
The female humanoid had long pink hair that reached the waist, similar to the color of sakura trees, with blunt bangs as well as a deeper shade of pink eyes. On the top of her head was a small black-colored tiara. Her outfit consists of a skin-tight black dress with a thigh-high slit, lined with golden trim and accessories like buttons and bangles, as well as a golden rib cage and a blood-red underside. There is also a black cape with tattered ends, as well a transparent veil that covers the back of her head.
This female wields a black scythe, where the blade is about as long as her whole body. We were unable to see her fight during the battle as the undead were the main army, and the skeleton dragon was more of a seat than a monster, however, other witnesses have seen her summon imps, skeletons, and zombies.
There have been other sightings of potential 'General' class monsters in the South, and they are generally associated with necromancers or dark magicians. The female individual is the first monster that looks different, so we classify her as a 'General'.
Moving on, to the West, where we have Kronos's army. We have seen the lion chimera in action, however, there have been reports of other chimera-like monsters. The one that has currently seen the most action is a chimera by the name of Owl. Going off the name, the chimera-based monster is an owl however, it stands as tall as an average human and boasts wings that are as huge as a dragon.
It has large red eyes and a black beak with white feathers covering its wings, and stands on top of deer-like legs. Its torso is primarily covered by the wings whenever it stands still, but once it starts to fly, witnesses have seen multiple small red eyes along the rib cage. What it is currently unknown, however, there are reports of people dying the moment they see the monster. It hunts in swarms of birds and bats both large and small and can be seen as a black cloud flying across the sky.
In the North, we have the Blood Ogre. A menacing beast that kills for pleasure. Usually half-covered in silver armor, but sometimes seen only with striped animal skin covering its lower body. Its scarlet red body is covered in black tattoos that glow whenever the monster uses a skill, and so far we have only seen it use fist-related skills. It has two yellow eyes and fangs that reach from the bottom of its mouth to its eyes.
The monster is fast and likes to wreak havoc wherever it goes, and has currently caused the Bones Guild a lot of trouble. There have also been sightings of a black dragon flying above the Blood Ogre, however, we haven't confirmed anything
In the East, there have been sightings of a 'General' like monster near the ocean. Most players are in marshland-like environments or near the ocean and for those near the ocean, they have seen a singular humanoid female killing players and monsters alike with water spells.
The female is similar to a child in size, with shoulder-length white hair with red tips. Her innocent eyes and face is revealed to be a mask hiding a row of sharp teeth like a shark and ruby eyes that shine where it sees blood. Two ruby gems hold her hair in small side ponytails, while her outfit is similar to ancient Romans.
Clothed in a white dress with one strap off her shoulder and tied together with a brown rope at her waist. It transitions to a light blue color similar to the color of the ocean, finishing with a golden rim. She wears sandals that use long straps to crisscross around her ankles and calves, as well as golden bracelets on both her small arms.
Wielding a turquoise blue trident with golden letters and lines along with the handle, she kills players with a skill that creates a water shark that travels along the ground. The shark jumps up from the ground, surrounding the player in a water bubble before bursting from the inside. Other skills that have been seen are water spears and geysers that appear from the ground, however, her most frightening skill is controlling water itself. Capable of moving water around herself as a shield or using it to grab players or pierce players.
At this moment these are the biggest threats that we have seen and while we know there are more, we haven't had a chance to talk to anything that has the information about said monsters. Currently, every player is too weak to fight against these monsters and even with their NPC army might be destroyed by these monsters at full power however, the game has only just started, and more players are joining.
I hope to enlighten everyone with this information as well as promote our guild. We are the information-gathering guild that wants to help everyone understand more about the game as well as the monsters within it. We are Espion. ]
"Wow… That's a lot of information." - Ian
It took me a while to read and digest the information, especially about the monsters that were in the other territories. I have seen 'Generals' from Horde and Kronos's army, however, this was the first time hearing about the 'Generals' of the other territories.
I text the group chat, hoping to be able to discuss my thoughts.
"I just read the post on the forum." - Ian
"Thoughts?" - Evan
"Blood Ogre is a monster who I have met already. His name is Rautt, and he is scary. The dragon is also another 'General' going by the name Casper, and he can turn into a human with dragon wings. The owl and lion chimera are ones which I haven't seen before but I have seen an insect and a dragon chimera." - Ian
" What the hell? You have been exposed to so many of them." - Evan
"Not by choice. I also saw the Queen of Spiders, which is also another general under The Horde, and I've been cursed by her too." - Ian
"Interesting. Any thoughts on the ones you haven't seen before?" - Evan
"The female from the South is very intriguing. She commands the army, which is different from the other 'Generals' who have mainly been by themselves. The one in the East looks like she uses a lot of magic, but there isn't really a lot of information on these 'Generals'. Do you happen to know more?" - Ian
"I've encountered a giant crocodile during my journey towards the middle. We didn't engage in a fight, but we saw it kill some golems that were trying to cut down some trees. Not sure if it was a 'General' but the thing was a lot stronger than anything I have seen." - Evan
"Hey, guys! I've seen the Blood Ogre as well." - Sam
"AYE! SAM, how are you doing?" - Evan
"Hey, Sam!" - Ian
"Going good, thanks. As I said, I have seen the Blood Ogre as well. It was during one of the expeditions out of my village with some demi-humans. We were searching for more resources when I heard a loud roar in the distance. We were situated on a hill over a large yellow grassland and on the far side, we saw the Blood Ogre fighting a giant golem. The golem was twice the size of the Blood Ogre, and we both know that monster is already pretty huge." - Sam
"Was it struggling? Or was it winning? Because from what I know of the Blood Ogre, I don't think he would lose against a golem." - Ian
"Well, you would be right, but on top of the golem was a smaller creature. It was too far away for me to make out the creature, but I saw it wave a wand or staff-like object above its head, and the Blood Ogre retreated the moment it saw that." - Sam
"What?" - Ian
"I wasn't sure the reason because after that we got spotted and had to run away. Luckily, they didn't run after us." - Sam
"Strange, from what I've heard from Ian and the forums, the Blood Ogre should be very aggressive. Why retreat?" - Evan
"Magic is still a very new subject. I recently saw a golem using magic circles to cast spells, which is different from the way the elves have cast magic. Elves use a chant to cast their spell. The only reason why I would suspect that the Blood Ogre retreated was because he knew what the magic was going to be and knew the dangers of it." - Ian
"Speaking of magic, Sabrina found a book that allowed her to cast a spell. Where is she anyway?" - Evan
"HERE! I AM HERE!" - Sabrina
"Hey, Sabrina." - Ian
"Yo. " - Sam
"Tell them your loot, Sabrina." - Evan
"Well, it was just last night. I killed a red slime king near my village, and it dropped a skill book called Fireball." - Sabrina
"That means you just need to find more of those slime kings to get more skill books." - Ian
"If only it was that simple." - Sabrina
"Surely, fighting it wasn't that hard?" - Sam
"It's finding it, right?" - Evan
"Yea. I've only found 2 slime kings before, and the first one was during one of the events." - Sabrina
"It will be fine. No rush. Take your time and slowly expand your strengths. I think it will be good if you keep fighting, even if it is just against slimes. Your NPCs will grow stronger, and you might have a chance of finding new people to join your village." - Ian
"Yep! Doing that already!" - Sabrina
"Whereabouts are you, Evan?" - Ian
"Hmm? I'm at home, why?" - Evan
"I meant in the game… You said you were traveling towards me?" - Ian
"OHHH RIGHT! I'm in some sort of dirt land or wasteland place. I'm trying to find a mesa or mountain range or a canyon because that is what you said I should be looking out for." - Evan
"Hmm, I can't say for sure that you are close or not, but keep going!" - Ian
"Well, I have to get back to some work. Talk to you guys whenever something comes up." - Sam
"Same, doing something for my parents." - Evan
"Going out as well. Seeya." - Sabrina
"Byeee." - Ian
I turn off my phone and relax on the couch as I wait for Rebecca to come back. Things have to change in HavenFall if I want to become stronger, but what more can I do other than wait?
