Chapter 106 Official Visit To Euroa
"Has the landing spot been prepared?" Kingsley asked as he approached the vehicle
"Yes sir, and apparently the territory is excited to meet with you" a young man who looked just like a male version of Hestia answered
"Well then Hermes, let's go and see them" Kingsley said as he boarded the big K-4
The K-series went from one to nine and this was number four on the list... or at least, its type was number four. The K-4 was created for simple transportation and protection, it didn't feature any weapons or any other fancy features on its outside... it just looked like a hybrid between a plane and a helicopter.
Kingsley boarded the k-4 and as soon as he entered, he was hit with a massive dose of luxury. this was his private k-4 and was created for the single purpose of transporting him from one place to another and now, he planned to go visit his new territory. It was an official visit hence the use of the K-4 even though the location isn't that far away.
"As you wish, your majesty" the man answered with a bow before vanishing from sight
Kingsley seeing this didn't mind it at all and instead just simply sat down on the incredibly comfortable seats of the k-4. The K-4 was designed to transport its passenger in stye and in utter luxury hence why the k-4 was longer than it was supposed to be. As Kingsley waited inside the K-4, he was soon joined by Viktor and some other officials who he didn't care much about.
"Your Majesty!" Viktor and his subordinates saluted as soon as they saw him
"As you were" Kingsley said as they all went about doing their thing while Viktor came to sit opposite him
"Okay, Hermes... let's go" Kingsley ordered as he relaxed into his chair excitedly as though he was a child that is entering a plan for the first time.
As soon as he gave his order the vehicle's door was shut and a few seconds later, the K-4 began to slowly rise into the sky. Normally such a thing would involve some shaking that will notify the occupants that they had taken off but Kingsley felt nothing however this didn't kill his excitement. This was the first time, he was leaving his main territory, he had never left the city for even once since he came to this world.
Now his territory spanned a distance that he needed a k-series vehicle to cover, it was also the first time he would be using any of the K-series vehicles especially now that it was under the Hermes's control. Hermes was a new spirit that he created since it was starting to look like Hestia was in charge of everything.
She had to protect the territory through her guns, had to ensure that the citizens had homes to live in, coordinate the servants at the castle and that was just to name of few of her duties. Hence the birth of Hermes, the proof that Kingsley was mastering his abilities. Hermes was created to be in-charge of all things transport, hence why he is in charge of the K-series, the central train that ran through the entire kingdom and finally the carriages.
In some way, it could be said that he had more work to do than Hestia herself but well he didn't care, his job was more well defined than the hers. He was more interested in Hermes because Hermes was his first intentional success at creating life, the automatons were more computers than life.
Hermes was a livinbeing.... well somewhat of an Artificial intelligence with a soul, a spirit and he had created him not like Hestia who was born because he created his castle. This meant that his control over his power was now greater and also meant that now, he didn't need to recruit anyone anymore. He could just wave his hand and millions of soldiers would sprout from the ground.
Of course, he didn't have any plans of doing so, he saw no purpose to it. There were millions of Orc, goblin and Elven settlements out there so why waste energy on creating them when he could just capture them and evolve them into what he wanted.
"Your Majesty, Athena sent back a video feed of the third undead city and asks if the city can be destroyed or should the damage be kept to a minimum" Viktor said as he suddenly summoned up a holographic screen
Kingsley observed the video for a while and didn't see anything that interested him, the entire city was poorly planned, the pillars supporting the ground looked like it would collapse any time soon and worse, there were no strange architecture one would expect when looking at a city of Vampires.
"They have permission to destroy it all, ensure that no one is left alive" Kingsley ordered since he had no use for them... the city was a waste of time and if it was to be recreated, it would be above ground and he didn't have use for the undead.
He was simply conquering them because he had to conquer them for his territory to increase and also to save himself the stress of having to defend against them later on. It was just more efficient as for the lords that he found within his territory. The System prohibits him from doing anything since an Event was coming soon.

Congratulations on Conquering another city. You have been rewarded with an increase of 500 acres in territory size

"Hmm.. that means that the mission was a success, remind me to thank Euroa for the intel" Kingsley said while looking at Viktor
"As you wish, your majesty" Viktor replied
"Also remind me to update our army's weapons.. at this point it is restricting the soldiers from using their abilities"
"No sir.. their restriction is precisely why we need them. Each soldier is so powerful that they by themselves can take on an entire nation and win but with the guns, they can focus that infinite power into small busts of power" Viktor explained
"That is an excellent idea... i will need to update the ammunition instead i think that will give them even more control over the path of the bullet" Kingsley said as he fell into deep thought
The fact that the Arc team had to drop their guns to use their full power meant that the guns were limiting them and since Viktor disapproves of him doing so, the best option would be to simply update the bullets to use mana. The soldiers will be able to imbue the bullets with mana to achieve various effects.
As Kingsley fell into deep thought while thinking about, the ways he could improve the military, Hermes took off as they heading towards his destination. the flight was incredibly steady and fast. After a few minutes, Kingsley came back to his senses and spent his time looking out the window to view his territory
So far, he had been looking at everything here through the eyes of a god. He could see everything, hear everything, smell everything. On his throne, he was omniscient and while it was an amazing feeling, it was still limited in some way because he wasn't actually there. he was on a throne in a well-guarded castle.
Around his k-4 were about three other K-4s that served as decoys for his own, Athena and Viktor insisted on it despite knowing how indestructible each K-series vehicle was. Kingsley accepted because they refused to take no for an answer and he also found it cool when he saw all five k-4s on the ground waiting for him.
"Sir we're almost there" Viktor announced to which Kingsley nodded
He could see the massive World tree even from this distance. He could feel a connection to it despite the fact that he wasn't a forest elf who apparently need the World tree to exist. For him though he felt as though it was more like a connection caused because it was in his territory.
Then tree grew larger and larger as they got closer until they were directly above the territory. Kingsley looked down on the massive Elven city. the city was just as you would expect an Elven colony to look like. With the World tree at its center, the city looked a bit like a colony of ants living under a tree from his high position
As soon as they arrived at their destination, the K-4 began to land. It was in a large field beside the Elven castle.. looking through the window, kingsley could see several officials waiting for him. He could also some High Elven soldiers standing guard around the field.
"Of course, those girls are here.. that would explain why i haven't seen them in two days" Kingsley said when he saw the high Elves
As soon as the vehicle landed, a group of elven servants could be seen running around through the window. A purple carpet was rolled out, several Elven and High Elven knights and soldiers respectively stood guard by each side of the carpet to protect him when he walked. Inside the K-4 too, Viktor made his men, the newly ascended Arch demons to leave first and stand guard before he joined them since they were in unfamiliar territory.
