God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

The First Prince of Morose Kingdom, sat in his room as he read the letter that he had received from one of the royal knights.

"He can help me get my hands on the miracle flower of the medicine church? Why would I ever say no to that?" he said out loud and stood up before he summoned his servant.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Go and invite the leader of this mercenary group and tell him to come meet me."

The servant nodded and quietly left the place. Once he was gone, the prince grinned, "Even though I'm the first child, father clearly likes that slut's son more. If I have to get my hands on the throne, I'll have to do something that everyone can see and acknowledge.

This way, even father can't openly show favoritism. The petals of the flower do have the properties of an aphrodisiac, but they are just the side effects. Why would I waste such an amazing plant on making aphrodisiacs when I can make god's nectar with it?"

He walked over to the bookshelf that was in his room and took out a book from there before smiling.

"I really was lucky to be able to find this in the black market. Thanks to this book, I know that I can use the leaves and the petals of the flowers to help with faster wound and fatigue recovery."

It was dark outside, and even though he knew that Fabian would come the next day, he was unable to sleep due to the excitement.

'I even resorted to begging those church bastards and they still refused to give those plants to me. Heh, and now I can get it at a cheaper price thanks to this foolish mercenary.'

He struggled to fall asleep but at the end, he did manage to get it done. Experience new stories on empire

The next day, he talked to Fabian and after quite a bit of bargaining, they finally decided to stop at a huge amount of money.

Fabian walked out of the palace with a wide grin on his face, 'One bronze coin for a single petal, heh. He said that each flower has five petals, which means that I'll get five bronze coins per flower.'

He had gotten his official commission from the first prince of the Kingdom and as a leader of a well known mercenary group, he knew that he had to make use of his resources.

For the first time in centuries, there was a group that was preparing to steal and rob from a church.

There were people who were arranging horse carriages, bullock carts, boats and they were even renting warehouses. Multiple awakened people were picked for specific tasks and everyone agreed to take part in this secretive mission.

The prince had promised a lot of money and Fabian had already received an advance of fifty gold coins. Everything was being put to use and Fabian himself had decided to stop training temporarily.

He used this time to scout multiple churches of medicine, taking in the info so he could tell his people about it all. The church also had it's own farms, warehouses and apothecaries .

Fabian noted everything down and in just a week's time, he managed to gather a good amount of information on 2 churches, 3 warehouses and 2 farms. Apothecaries didn't matter as they were protected a lot more than other places while also not having enough of the things that Fabian needed.

Due to this, the apothecaries weren't worth the risk.

The other members of the Black Boar Sect had also managed to gather enough information for the final heist. In total, they had intel on 12 churches, 27 warehouses and more than 200 farms.

Out of these 200 farms, Fabian decided to target only 15 of them as the others either had plants that were in their infancy stage, or they simply did not have the green thyme plants.

A few days later, during the night.

Cannon shots were heard in multiple places at the same time and Fabian silently watched barrels of gun powder were being emptied at a fast pace. Bombs similar to Dynamites were being thrown at churches and also the farms along with molotovs that used extremely concentrated alcohol as fuel.

The sudden attack against the medicine church caused a lot of chaos. Multiple knights moved from apothecaries and warehouses to provide manpower, but this was exactly what Fabian wanted.

A few minutes after the knights left the apothecaries, Fabian and his men launched an attack on these extremely important places, forcing the knights to rush back.

The chaos was at an all time high while Fabian and his men sneaked into the warehouses that were unguarded at the moment and looted the places clean.

With excessive manpower, they got everything done in under two hours. The knights caught the people who were attacking their facilities, only to find out that they were all malnourished slaves who had nothing in their lives.

At first when they found out that they were being attacked by slaves, but they had no choice but to defend their facilities. This was because, even if they tried to check what was going on in other places, the attacks here wouldn't stop.

They were already having trouble with manpower and with so much chaos, they decided to stop the threat in front of them first.

While there were people who went with the straightforward approach, there were also a few that decided to go check out the other facilities.

Unfortunately for them, all the strong people were concentrated at these locations and the only result of this was the deaths of the knights.

Fabian silently watched the mule and ox drawn carts move away. His plan had worked, but now he had one last thing to do and that was to kill the people in his own mercenary group.

'I can't give everything to the prince. The main reason I'm doing this is for the mission and as long as I complete it, I'll be able to get free upgrades. Those guys work for money, so if I tell them that I'll take most of the plants for personal reasons, it'll just cause chaos.'

"They've outlived their usefulness." he muttered as he silently stared at the retreating carts.
