Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 137 "It Isn't Efficient Enough"



"Just do as you're told and ensure to convey your intentions well" Viktor stated as he cut the connection between him and the captain

Looking at the captain who could be seen muttering something under his breath, i couldnt help but chuckle. I didn't blame him, this was a last minute change to a plan that they had already trained for.

Following Viktor's orders, the captain immediately turned to his men and informed them of the new change. After a few minutes of waiting, the team could be seen dividing into two.

One team made of three people began walking towards the village. The other four could be seen retreating further into the bushes with two amongst them being snipers and the other acting as protectors.

The forward team now liberated of most of their weapons apart from their side arm and military issue daggers, walked towards the village where two Hobgoblins could be seen standing guard.

Third POV

Hobgoblins, advanced goblins that stood at the height of about 6ft tall and unlike the goblins who were considered D-rank, Hobgoblins were B-Rank creatures even at the lowest.

However, facing creatures who could be considered Gods, shivers ran down their spine up. As though expecting it, the drone operators immediately zoomed in for us to see as fear settled on their faces.

"Uh…halt" one of the Hobgoblins said quietly

Even from the command room, Kingsley could smell the fear that filled the hobgoblins, but he couldn't blame them. It was the standard bloodline suppression. These were Archdemons and many of them, the captain especially was a former Goblin.

To the Hobgoblin, it was like meeting five goblin kings at the same time even though the man wasn't actually using his aura aggressively. Stopping at the Hobgoblin's order, the captain smiled while looking at the nearly comatose creature.

"I am here on behalf of the His Majesty, King [Seth] and would like to have an audience with your leader" The captain said

Without any response, the two immediately ran into the small village. It was yet to be determined if their reaction was because of the pressure exerted on them or if this was their usual way of attending to such matters.

All kingsley knew was that they just left their post as Guardians of thevillage. Not thinking further into the matter, Kingsley focused on the village only to notice that the guards had alerted their leader who could be seen running towards the gates.

Gathering behind him were some of the lord's other troops, anyone could guess whyv they were all gathering with many of them holding thier weapons. Seeing all this, a soft chuckle was heard in the command room

"Do they really think those sticks and swords would affect our people?" Athena said as she shook her head

"Never Underestimate anyone… the troops sure, you can but their lord is an entirely different case" Kingsley stated to remind her why the mission was made into a black op in the first place

The problem wasn't that he feared the troops, it was the lords themselves. Many of them were one-men armies being given unpredictable abilities. If he could leave the territory then things would be vastly different

But he was stuck here and though his troops were powerful, there was no guarantee that a lord out there didn't have the power to basically turn them all to dust. He had such power so logically there should be others who had such abilities,

"Captain, be ready, you have multiple unknowns coming your way from inside the village, be ready for an ambush if necessary" Viktor said to warn the captain before cutting communications again

"On it" The captain replied as he quickly began to give instructions to his men

A few minutes, the guard returned and began leading the soldiers into the territory. Entering the territory, a deep sense of hostility overwhelmed the captain but he just smiled.

He expected the hostile attitude after all nothing good ever comes from someone vastly superior to you visiting your home. It rarely ever goes well and in this instance, it all depended on their lord.

The guard led the Captain and his small team into the castle where the territory's lord was waiting. At this point, view of the team was lost since they were inside the building. Of course we still had infared to detect heat sources but we had better options.

"Switching to transmitters" Viktor announced as the screen lit up again.

This time however, we were seeing from the first person perspective, The Captain's perspective. Not just the captain though, we could see everything the entire team saw which was surprisingly a lot. Turns out Archdemons have 360 degree vision.

How it worked, no one knew. They had forward facing eyes just like normal humans but they could see all around them. Kingsley noted this down as the millionth reason why his troops were overpowered.

Through the captain's eyes, Kingsley could see all they saw which was basically a long hall way to what he gyessed was a throneroom. If there was anything, Kingsley about humanity, it was that all humans know how to present themselves when needed.

Several seconds later, the team entered the throne room. It was a brightly lit room with a large throne at the center of it all. A young woman could be seen sitting on it in a relaxed manner as though she couldnt careless about the situation.

"What do you want?" the lady asked

"We are here on behalf of our king" The captain said before activating the hologram projector

Almost immediately a holographic version of Kingsley appeared in the room, due to setting already input into the device, Kingsley appeared towering over all.

If he could tower over anyone in real life then in the virtual world, he was free to edit his height to any level he wanted.

"Why does it have to be you?" The lady asked as she immediately sat up on her throne

"It's better me than some random A-rank creature" Kingsley replied with a smile

"True, so can I still surrender or must I get the crap beaten out of me first?"

"Of course you can"

"okay then, I surrender… here I was thinking I was far away from you to even worry about this sort of thing"

"On the bright side, now you know you will always be safe" Kingsley replied as he accepted her surrender request and immediately vanished from the room

His duty there was done so there was no need for him staying there any longer. Seeing that their king had gone, The soldiers immediately bowed and left the throne room.

"This isn't efficient enough" Kingsley said, now back on the control room

Yes, attacking blindly will lead to unnecessary killing since many lords would rather submit than actually fit him but this method was also very slow.

He could try to announce it in the [Chat] but then again, his fight has yet to reach the global stage. For now, he was still clearing his neighborhood.

After that, he could then focus on spreading his kingdom everywhere and increasing his chances of finding his family members.

"Letters" Kingsley suddenly said remembering something

"Your Majesty" Viktor and Athena asked looking at him

They didn't understand why there masterwas taking so much time with this. He could just attack all the villages on the map and if their leader wants to surrender, he/she will do so.

"If we can write a letter indicating our identity as well as requesting their surrender…. Nah, that's too much trouble, I'm pausing this operation for the next 24 hours" Kingsley said as he immediately pulled up his [Chat]

Though he was initially against doing so since that would meant that he was going to war with the entire world but then again he was actually going against the world.

The fastest means of finding his family members is by conquering all which believed that everyone would already know by now.

Pulling up the [Chat] function, Kingsley immediately began to cmpose a message for the world. Ensuring his intent will be passed to the people

[This is a warning to all,

In the next 15 hours, I will begin my attack. I don't care if you are a man or woman, I will recommend you don't stand in my way]

Despite how he felt about declaring war against his entire region, it was something he was bound to do eventually. Kindness should have a limit.

Even Uncle Iroh had blood on his hands, his will not be any different. With that done, Kingsley focused on other matters at hand, he wasn't here only because he was about to Speedrun his entire rescue.

His men were still out there perform a search the old fashion way though with a bit of help from the magical technology they had access to.

The Bravo teams were to help expand his territory while the Alpha teams were to help search and rescue any of the children or older ones that are the target of the event.

Meanwhile outside the military base, a small group of three could be seen using magic to conceal themselves as they peeped over the walls.
