Chapter 129 Preparation For Search
"If it is within our abilities then we will do as you wish" Black Rock replied as the others bowed too
"Excellent, I believe you all have seen my kind, we are many but spread far and wide on this planet.." Kingsley said as he stood up
He walked down from his throne to stand before them. Of course, he regretted it almost instantly as all of them, especially Euroa, towered over him. Even Frug, the Dwarven King and Teurn, the Gnome king who were the shortest amongst them, were still taller than him by at least a few inches.
Kingsley didn't exactly want to force what he believed to be his responsibility upon the natives that had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Technically speaking, they shouldn't even be here if he didn't go to their nations and force them to surrender.
"If it is to our capabilities, we shall do as you please, My lord" Black Rock said with a weird level of respect in his tone.
"Come to think of it, I see, you have become an Oni and you all have evolved" Kingsley said as he looked at them again.
Black Rock who was once a High Orc had the most obvious change but he had been distracted by the situation to notice it and there was also the fact that as a human, most high Orcs do look the same to him.historical
It's like how the rest of the world, back on Earth says that certain Asian people from certain Asian countries look like.
It's not a racist thing, it was simply because the two people or races in question are vastly different. He only knew Black Rock for his muscles which he still had even as an Oni.
"It is all by your grace, your majesty" Euroa replied with a slight bow
"Well you're welcome" Kingsley replied since though it was the system that evolved them or increased their rank, his nation's actions brought the reward itself.
"As I was saying, however, not all of us possess the capabilities to survive this harsh world as you can.. my request is that you assist my men in searching for these men" Kingsley pleaded though still in an authoritative manner.
Kingsley himself, didn't understand this weird power dynamic. It felt like he was commanding them however he was begging them to send their army into the unknown whedrfe they could possibly die.
"We will do as you wish" Euroa said
"Thank you, however, since this is a personal request, I would grant any one wish, you guys come up with as long as it is within my capabilities and is reasonable.. I believe such a reward is necessary" Kingsley said with a smile.
As soon as he said that, Kingsley immediately noticed their eyes widen in shock. Euroa's especially, she was the only one who had truly seen him in action or knew what he was truly capable of.
The rest were only attributing the system's doing to him; however , considering that he was actually capable of such a feat, their reasoning was good enough.
"Any one wish no matter what it is?" Euroa asked
"As long as it is reasonable and within my capabilities then yes, it will be granted"
"Then we shall do our best, your majesty" Teurn said as he gave a bow
Looking at them, kingsley could tell that their minds were in turmoil without even peeking into their minds. Like every normal living being, they were already thinking about their reward
Kingsley himself simply hoped that the rewards would be enough to push them well enough to help him achieve his goal though he knew how difficult it would be for them.
Even with the numerous drones that were released nearly every day, only seventeen lords had been found so far. Such a situation truly showed how big each region was.
After their bow, all of them immediately turned to leave and Kingsley permitted them since he had already delivered his message to them. As for the reward itself, he didn't know what they would ask for but he knew that no matter what it was, he could grant it and if it was too powerful, he was a human and would surely nerf it.
Meanwhile in a much larger space in the castle, a large number of people, humans could be seen sitting in front of a small podium and Viktor standing before them with a clearly superior aura to him.
"On behalf of his majesty, I would like to apologise for the inconvenience of bringing you all the way from your territories to here however, due to certain circumstances, you all should be aware of, his majesty has requested that you all return as he and the others deal with the matter on hand" Viktor said as professionally as he could
"Can we at least see him, I believe that if I am to hand over the fate of my son to someone then I will have to know them" one of the governors suddenly spoke out.
the crowd hearing hearing her immediately began to cheer in support. Even if they understood why they would be leaving, many of them wanted to at least see the man they called a king.
"At the moment, your request cannot be granted as his majesty is currently meeting with others to see how they could possibly solve the issue at hand" Viktor replied
"I see" the woman replied in a much softer tone
"Thank you for your understanding, a vehicle has been prepared to take each of you back to your territories" Viktor said as he left the room
He gave the governors one last look before he truly left the room to return to his duties. He knew the preparation that had gone into preparing for their arrival but for some reason only they and his majesty knew.
Everything was now useless. Viktor didn't have much to worry about since he wasn't truly the one who had set up and arranged everything to be as royal as it is now.
Leaving the room, Viktor walked straight to the administration which he was very familiar with. Though the building had only existed for a few weeks, Viktor felt as though he was home.
It was a home he hated but liked at the same time. Despite being an Arch demon king, he didn't truly like combat as much as Athena loved it. His duty was here and for now, the duty given to him was to sign off the release of the Deus reserve forces.
By Athena's suggestions, the army was divided to create a reserve forces and some citizens. The reserve forces like the active forces had a total of five hundred thousand soldiers serving in it.
Each one was just as trained as the ones on active duty however since there had being no need for such a larger army, they were simply left as reserve for later on.
The administration office was a large building with tens of people rushing in and out of it. It was somewhat of the heart of the heart of the entire territory.
it was the place where all decisions were made before they get to his majesty. Well, only a few problems get to meet his majesty since all is taken care of here.
Viktor himself was the head of it all and was the man who oversaw all, from the army to the activities of the four kingdoms.
"Finally, I thought you had lost your way" a familiar voice called out almost as soon a Viktor opened the door to his office
"Well unlike you, I had to address the governors... I wonder how much my work load will increase when they fully develop their territories" Viktor said as he turned to the owner of the voice.
Sitting on the chair facing him was a young beautiful lady in high ranking military uniform and had a powerful aura around her, Athena.
"I doubt your work would increase by that much, they come from the same place as his majesty, they will find a more efficient way of handling their societies than the four kingdoms" Athena replied
"True, and anyway, here it is" Viktor said as he handed over the required document
He didn't truly understand the need for all the documents and complicated signings that his majesty had introduced into the territory but he at least understood that it was good for accountablility.
Even though Athena was in charge of everything related to the army and should technically be capable of sending the reserve forces out into the world with nothing but a world.
She wasn't allowed to because according to his majesty, it needed to be written down somewhere that on a certain day, such amount of troops left the territory to achieve this or that.
It was slow but he could see the benefits of it. Handing over the document, Athena immediately took it and turned to leave.
"Well I'm off to the library" Athena said as she vanished from her spot
Viktor seeing this didn't say much instead turned to the other things that required his attention and were related to the matter at hand, resources.
