《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》The underdog nation part 3
Advertisement
A couple of the gangsters of the black rat gang were waiting outside the bar.
They told them that they had found Diedrich's villa in the city. He was currently away and was in the council building meeting his colleagues.
As they were walking toward the center of the city where the councilmen met they saw a huge crowd gathered. People were chanting and raising their fists in the air. It was a rally against the country and the people of the Fairfax kingdom.
"Let's see now. People burning our nation's flag, with pitchforks and yelling slurs about our country. Oh yes, this seems like a safe place to be," Yosef said.
On the balcony were all the councilmen, but the real center of attention was Diedrich Verstappen. As he walked to the ledge the people cheered.
"I guess there are some people here who want war," Joan said while looking around.
Diedrich coughed and opened his voice.
"Good people of Brahm. For long we have been ridiculed, mocked and slandered by those who would oppress us. I have just one message to these people. WE ARE NOT INFERIOR AND WE WILL NOT BE OPPRESSED.
The kingdom of Fairfax is just another name and a facade. They are still the same Jacob kingdom. The same dirty kingdom that has waged war on us many times. It won't be long until they show their true colors again. Let us not wait for them to do the first move. Let us be the ones strike first.
"Let us strike for our people, for our country, FOR THE GREATER BRAHM."
The people exploded into cheers and applause. It was clear now that Diedrich was dangerous to everyone in the Fairfax kingdom and had to be stopped.
~~
It had been a couple of days after Diedrich had given his speech to the people and instigated that war was on the horizon. He had installed dangerous ideas to his people, mostly on the young people who did not know the truths and horrors of war. They were enticed by his words and were being fooled with dreams of conquest and glory.

Diedrich had not once after the speech left his villa and rumors were that he was planning with his generals the invasion he so much wished for.
Time was running out and something had to be done before war erupted.
His soldiers guarded his home night and day and were located at the heart of the city with many people coming and going. Needless to say, attacking it would have been suicide.
Luck was about to turn on them, fortunately.
When Joan, Haley and Yosef were on the lookout in a nearby inn they saw Diedrich leaving his home. He got on his carriage and started to leave.
The three of them got on horseback and tried to catch up to him.
The masses of people made their pace slower and they quickly were losing sight of the wagon.
They followed him to the gates that were open that took them outside the city.
After a while, they had lost complete sight of their target and had come to a standstill on a crossroad. They looked around and had no idea where he had gone to.
"I think I could spot teeth in a hen's mouth before we found that carriage," Yosef said looking around.
"Shut up asshole," Joan angrily said back.
"I could say something snarky back, but I feel like that peanut brain knight would kill me and I value my life too much…."
"Say something funny, ONE MORE TIME!"
As Joan and Yosef were arguing Haley looked around. She saw one large villa that was in the middle of a field surrounded by sunflowers.
"Surrounded by suns"
Haley got off her horse and started to walk towards the villa. Joan and Yosef followed her as they sneaked to the yard undetected.
At the yard was a fancy carriage with few soldiers guarding it.

"You really think the first building you saw would be the one where the councilman went?" Yosef asked not believing their luck.
They sneaked and climbed on top of the roof and spotted a man embracing a woman.
"Thank you for coming, Diedrich. Did your wife suspect anything?" the woman asked.
Haley looked at Yosef.
"He could be some other Diedrich. I am sure it is a common name here," Yosef said who still believed they had that easily found him.
"Do not worry. Being a councilman makes me busy and unavailable. She will not suspect a thing," Diedrich said.
Yosef looked stupid as Hailey's smile yelled "told you so."
"Okay, we need now a plan. We should not just rush in," Haley whispered to them.
Joan jumped through the window with her sword in hand startling the secret couple.
"Sounds like a brilliant idea, but I'm afraid she is not brilliant herself," Yosef said.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.

I always dreamed of being one of the Awakened, one of the heroes that fights back the Insanity on his own terms. They’re always pictured driving the newest cars, wearing the latest clothes, using the best gene-mods and implants. They’re supposed to be more than just human. At least, that’s what I thought until I Awakened. Now my life is a mess of corporate intrigue, shifty politics, cyberzombies and at least one group of revolutionaries whose ideas are sounding better every day. I never wanted to be the punk that brought the system down, but the temptation to just glitch out is growing by the minute. Glitch is a Cyberpunk LitRPG set in a near future where some people are given abilities that allow them to do things that no normal human could ever do. This fiction is written, maintained and owned by Edgar Malboeuf. Copyright 2018
