High above the green clouds, a meeting between 4 Elder Warlords plays out.

Now, with all of the pieces of the past lining up, Ember begins outlining a plan for them to follow through with in order to take back control of this Citadel.

Torvak's eyes are wide as Ember finishes his last words. "Genius... the Demons will never see it coming..."

Zashen, the Berserker King, starts swinging its blades about, and can't stand still, moving in and out of the hologram's view. "Oh, I can't wait! It's always a good time when you come back!"

Asic, the High Orc, nods and keeps a straight face as he replies in a calm tone. "Very well, I will notify my men of what's to come. Quite an interesting plan. Many will be fooled, but it will be for the greater good."

At this, Ember's gaze shifts over to a surveillance system and sees the main elevator bringing up 6 strange-looking avatars to the top floor where the duel between the Demons and Warlords played out just a few hours ago.

Since then, the entire inner portion of the Citadel has been extremely busy.

Many Lords that have been in hiding for thousands of years have decided to show their faces in support of the Ogre Conglomeration to celebrate their victory against the two 1st Class Demons.

Some are old business partners that want to genuinely congratulate Torvak on his win by making a few trades and adding to the Volterra district economy, while others are cockroach Lords that want to stay in the know and contribute to any forces that show hints of rising power.

In addition to this, more 4th and 5th Class customers take the risk and come to the Volterra district because of the sight of a human being publicly accepted by a 1st Class Ogre.

This scuffle even inadvertently boosted the business of the High Orc's trading district two blocks away and has many new calls rolling into the Berserker Kings, wondering when they'll host more fighting tournaments or show up in the Grand Citadel next so they can place their bets or contribute extra worlds to their favorite fighters in return for ether dividends indefinitely.

Throughout this commotion and the long meeting taking place, scheming, the Citadel Lord has been taking in the scene of the public's perception and has crafted a plan of his own.

As the 6 strange avatars walk out into the middle floor, Ember speaks up.

"It looks like they've made their move. The Servants are here to collect their Demons. Let the second phase begin."

He looks back at the holograms, and the two Lords reply.

"Understood, we will meet you there," are their last words as the holograms deactivate.

Ember gets up from his seat and moves toward the door, and his world token ticks up from 167 to 169.

The exact cause of this being the death of the first two demonic sandworms below the Citadel is unknown to him, but a grin shows on his face as he walks toward the door.

"Grab two more elixirs for Asic and Zash, they're going to need it," Ember tells Torvak as he walks out the private room's doors and down the hall toward their visitors.

A few Red Ogre sales associates greet the incoming 6 Avatars, but Ember and Torvak burst out from the back rooms before their conversation starts.

Their figures resemble demons, about 5 meters tall, but they are merely servants of the Vermillion family.

A large V logo is on each of the strange avatars' backs, and their entire being is glowing a bright green.
