There may be more than enough resources for everyone in the capital, however if he was right then this will be a joint effort by the four kingdom-states and the capital, meaning that the army should number more than two million or even more in total.
"Let's just hope we are able to reach enough people on time" Viktor said knowing that this entire situation was time sensitive
He may not know all the facts about this situation however, from what he had heard from his majesty during training. The more time was spent, the more people died.
....
Meanwhile in the various barracks around the capital. Various teams could be seen all fully geared up and ready for combat.
they may never face said combat as this was a search and rescue mission but considering the world they were in; their equipment was required.
"This is to the great soldiers of Deus; I thank you all for your loyalty and the support you have given to this soon to be great nation and I hope you show the world that strength one more time..." Kingsley began as a holographic figure of him appeared to them.
Unlike before, he was now dressed in a military uniform. The uniform looked as high ranking as it could get.
Kingsley himself didn't like the uniform however, it was designed by Viktor and his other monarchs. It was required that he wore it so he wore it.
"It may only be a search and rescue for my kind; however, it is also a discover and conquer mission. You see any unfamiliar territory, you conquer it… show no pity and make your nation proud!" Kingsley continued in a louder tone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"For Deus!!" The teams shouted in ready as they saluted
The scale of mobilisation this time was way bigger than all in the past combined. Several vehicles could be seen prepared for them to move. Behind the teams were several rows of trucks and cars each one nearly identical to their modern counterpart however, a quick look will make one spot the difference.
The K series military aircrafts were all ready for flight with their crew ready for action. Way behind those at the air force bases in the capital, a small facility could be seen.
Within said facility, several other arch demons and Archangels could be seen standing in front of a screen and in a room beside them, several rows upon rows of drones could be seen sitting ready for launch.
The plan for today was simply to send out everyone and everything leaving behind only enough to defend the city. As soon as the holographic figure disappeared or dissolved into thin air.
The barracks all around the city immediately became alive as team after team began leaving the territory. The governors who had yet to leave witnessed the swarms of drones flying out of the city and into all directions.
The natives watched as what they could only recognize as weapons of mass destruction flew out of the territory one after another.
"It seems it's finally time" A dwarf commented as he observed the multiple rows of K-5s flying out of the territory
"Do you think they will use the K-4 this time" An Elf replied as he too watched the vehicles leave
*Rumble Rumble*
Loud rumbling was heard as though an earthquake was about to strike however the two and practically everyone around remained steady… at least the people who had stayed in the territory for longer, remained steady.
The governors who were from earthquake prone places immediately ran for safety. The others simply watched cluelessly however a few of them had expressions of complete shock on their faces.
The ones in the know watched with either smiles on their faces or shock carved into their faces as a long line of trucks and vehicles that could only be described as tanks could be seen passing by.
The tanks looked almost similar to their modern counterparts and despite being one of Kingsley's creations, it had several points that made it different greatly.
One of such points was the fact that despite its size and weight, the K-4 was fast. Another point however was that not all of them had the standard all terrain tracks, a few of them had what looked like spider legs to allow them manoeuvre through the forest better.
"Is that a tank… how the f**k is that here?!" One of the governors shouted in shock
Just like the lords who watched in astonishment as the tanks and various armoured trucks drove by, the natives too stood and simply watched in amazement.
Even though the four kingdoms were gradually merging with the capital, their armies were yet to become one. Not many of them had seen the vehicles but then again, said vehicles had never been used.
Kingsley had simply created them because he could even though their power wasn't needed. Each soldier was basically a loving tank, it took a tank to shoot one down from the sky if they were allowed to go full power.
Even then said soldiers would only be mildly injured at least as of now. Their status as Disaster-rank creatures wasn't just for show. There was a massive amount of physical and magical prowess within them.
However even during said training demonstrations, it had been shown that despite their near perfect control of their abilities, they still couldn't control the explosiveness of their power.
They exhibited great control but there was always a casualty. They cast a fireball spell with the intention to destroy a rat or something like that instead they end up with a destroyed house and charred streets.
Kingsley simply came to the conclusion that it wasn't about control, it was simply that their level of power was so high that even their least lethal spell was a missile.
Though Kingsley had come to learn that the guns were too much for this world… well that did depend on the creature since most creatures here especially those below the S-rank can be killed with a normal kitchen knife if one struck a vital spot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Elves were A-ranked creatures and incredibly powerful ones at that. So powerful they were bordering the S-rank, however, a simple stab from even a sharpened stick will dispatch or gravely injure them.
The gun may be much but as Viktor had advised, they had a restrictive side to them that worked in their favour and not against them. With their immense power, the tanks were locked away.
However, now they were being rolled out because they would be effective in not only dealing with the waves from a distance but they would be incredibly effective in scaring the living shit out of the lords to force them to surrender.
All over the territory, such various vehicles could be seen moving out from their various inner-city barracks to the gates. Meanwhile in the now bigger command room in the capital.
Kingsley could be seen standing as he watched the massive screen before him. On it was a large map with various red dots on it, seventeen of them to be exact.
The dots marked each lord they had found so far… at least within the confines of his territory and a few thousand kilometres around it. On the left corner of the massive screen several small screens could be seen and all of them showed aerial footage of some place or the other.
"Any luck?" Kingsley asked as he turned to the drone team
By the side, there were hundreds of people who were seated and wearing some sort of helmet. This was the new upgrade he gave the drone team to be more efficient. The helmets allowed them to control the drones like they controlled their bodies.
Basically, a magical Virtual reality headset, it also allowed them to manipulate up to twenty drones at the same time. So far only about two hundred drones were active, the rest were still waiting for the vehicles to reach far enough
"The rescue force has reached the intended targets, however there is no attack force or tide there" Athena said as a holographic screen covered the existing one.
On it were the territories of the discovered lords, the event's intended target. A marker showing the arriving troops could be seen nearby, the vehicles moved in at slow but still fast speeds.
Looking at them, Kingsley felt as though he had overdone it. Yes, many of the creatures in this world were practically bulletproof but there were all modified weapons or mana weapons as the engineers called it.
The tanks were all normal tanks but the mounted machine gun was a mana weapon, the guns were all mana weapons. This wasn't going to be a rescue; it was a massacre.
"Excellent" Kingsley replied as he decided to think about the good sides of all this
"This is captain Heua of Arc dark 30, unleashing drones now" a voice announced
