Deus: We are all Lords



Kingsley may approve of their methods but he and many of his lords had approved of it so it should be and was expected.

"But these are still human beings, they may have families somewhere on this accursed world" Another governor argued

"Then they should consider their relative here unlucky, now answer me, governor what made you surrender?" Kingsley asked

"You could clearly protect me and your goals aligned with mine"

"But the chances of me accepting you were lower than the chances of that happening, you could be considered lucky and at the moment, they aren't"

"But your Majesty, aren't you fighting to unite with your family again... this war is simply you killing off members of other people's families, they could even include members of our families"

"If they are then like I said, they are either unlucky or you don't value them... you had all the resources to search for them but you didn't, do not blame me for your bad choices" Kingsley replied

He had been too kind that these people really think he was responsible for them and their families. The system had already made it clear to him that he only needed the lord themselves to be alive.

As for this families, they were the lord's concern. He had only created the Database simply because it was helpful to identify all the lords or governors he had come across.

That way, if he encountered the family member of any of governors, they will be able to immediately step up to claim them

He only did that out of pure necessity and good will. It had worked to reunite many of his governors with some of their family members however if they had relatives that had yet to surrender to him and were in the region then he was not responsible for what happened to them.

...

Lord [Satoshi] wants to surrender...

Lord [Gabriel] wants to surrender...

Lord [David] wants to surrender....

Lord [Ivan] wants to surrender...

....

Several system messages popped up in quick succession of the other. Before he could even accept them, another would take it's place.

"If I had known, I would have done this a long time ago" Kingsley thought as he sat down and continued watching the other teams capture their target villages.

The goal this time was simply for each team to capture a village. As clearly shown by the Archdemons, the method by which this was achieved didn't matter to him.

After a village is captured, they were to turn that into a military base that will allow them capture all other villages both Human and Native within the vicinity.

It was the most effective method, Kingsley could think off to conquer the entire region quickly. He reckoned that in about a week or so, he will have about half the region under his control or probably more.

While they debated the morality of such an event, in the [Chat] several lords could be seen either cursing him or simply complaining about the unfairness of the situation.

[He dares to launch a war against his own kind, we are mean to band together to conquer this world not attack one another] a lord said clearly not in support of Kingsley's war

[Would you shut up, it's because of people like you that I am in this situation... Why did nobody tell me he had literally angels as his troops]

[He doesn't... The System rebuked his right to have troops, remember?]

[What?... Then where the fuck did these guy come from]

[Probably when he traded back then or he conquered them]

[@King [Set], is it too late to surrender?]

[Why would you want to surrender, stand and fight like a man]

[Are you making fun of me... Have you seen these monsters he sent, I can't even read their status... Do you know how powerful you have to be for the system not to read your status]

[You have angels waiting, there are Elves here... Not gonna lie, probably gonna try woo their captain, she worth dying for]

[Ah!, a fellow brother... A fellow fallen, all hail the Deus Army]

[Are you all mad, if you don't want to surrender, just join the Human Alliance, Reinforcement will automatically be sent to you]

[They do that?]

[Yes, I now have three different S-rank species in my territory, no matter how strong, they can never defeat multiple S-rank creatures]

[Bro don't mislead these people, they just wiped out my army with a single strike]

[Then how are you still alive?]

[I surrendered but my ss-rank troops!]

The [Chat] slowly began to fill up with people that either advertised the new [Human Alliance] or those that complained about how overpowered Kingsley's troops were.

While all these happened, in the massive halls of the alliance, the group could still be seen however unlike before, they had grown exponentially in number.

…

Lord [Hunter] has joined the Human Alliance

Lord [Undine] has joined the Human Alliance

Lord …

….

More and more people joined the alliance as the group celebrated how popular their Alliance was getting. The strength of the Alliance was in the individuals in it.

It came from the fact that the strengths of all these individuals are merged into one. Before their eyes, they had watched their Alliance Army gain tens of extra soldiers and even more species.

"My lady?!" one of the many lords called out

Hearing him, the noisy hall slowly descended into silence as all turned to the source of the call as well as the lady on the throne.

"I am not holding any of you, please state your mind" Alina said

"Okay then, not many of you know me but recently I learnt that my territory borders the Aenon Forest" the lord began as he walked up to the front of the room

Standing just below the throne but still high enough for all to see or at least for most to see. The man looked to be of European descent, looked to be in his late thirties or probably his early forties but none were sure.

Even if they hadn't learnt anything in this world, they had surely learnt that the process of leveling up could make one younger or at least seemed to de-age the person to their prime and then stops then.

The man was huge with muscles that clearly didn't fit his age and didn't look that natural on him but all attributed it to his talent. The talents given by the system were truly random and may not fit the person it was given

"So?" The other lords asked

"I'm getting to that, after a bit of interrogating, I have learnt from the natives that Lord [Kingsley]'s territory is in the forest. So I would like to ask that this Alliance allows me their troops to launch an attack on him… even if he is powerful, he will eventually succumb under the might of multiple S-ranked and SS-ranked, right?" The man said

Hearing him, nearly the entire room began to nod in agreement. What he had said, made a lot of us and could give them the upper hand against the tyrant that was forcing them to surrender.

"That is indeed a good idea except he literally traded SSS-ranked troops with all of us last time, that's a whole S more than your strongest trooper" a female voice was heard disputing the idea

As soon as the voice was heard, they all have way for the speaker. It was a young woman who just like the man seemed to be of European origin however unlike the man, she seemed to be in her early twenties.

She stood at a height of about 6'2 and unlike many in the room, she was actually neatly dressed even wearing a fancy crown on her head.

"That is al… also true" the crowd said remembering the trading incident

"What is your point exactly?" the man asked

"I'm not trying to make a point, I am just trying to point out a flaw in your, with all due respect, stupid ass plan" She said before turning to the masses

"I believe it should be common knowledge or in fact common sense that you don't trade your strongest soldiers. I know for sure I didn't… well when I traded with him, I did but after that, I only gave out conquered troops which I am sure many of you did as well… now it stands to reason that he too had only given his weakest troops, if so then our armies don't stand a chance, hell even my automatons will completely wipe out the army talk more him" the lady continued
