Nervously I entered the territory house or the town hall as we had come to call it. The house was just a simple wooden house there was nothing special about it except that it was tier 8 and had indoor heating.
There were 4 of us that were allowed to enter myself and three others. That was not to say that we didn't own this, in fact this tier 8 territory was owned by myself but is mutually used by all of us.
All four of us were nervous, despite our power and the great strides we had made there was nothing we could do against the falling of the veil.
There was one day left before the veil fell. At first we had a month then 15 days then 10 then finally to today the final day that had dawned upon us.
Solemnly I contemplated what we could do. It wasn't until a whole minute of tense silence that a gangly man with short brown hair and common brown eyes spoke up.
"What should we do?" He softly asked. "We have no time"
"From what we know the veil dropping is a bad thing but what that entails I do not know"
Another person spoke up, this time not a man but a woman, she was beautiful compared to the rest.
Her talent having stained her hair white and her eyes being tinted blue.
Just sitting next to her gave us a feeling of the frigid cold. Wearing a dress weaved of ice her presence would be intimidating if it wasn't for her most striking feature, her long tail.
Her talent frost dragon, a tier 5 talent, higher than any of us gave her the characteristics of a dragon along with the power that came with it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough you wouldn't think that it was a dragon by how fluffy the tail was. The fur was so fluffy that even now just looking at it I couldn't barely control the urge to let it.
"What about trying to find the guys on the leaderboard?" The first one said again breaking me out of my fluff induced thoughts.
"That could work, we've already met Darwin, what about trying to find him?"
I ask the rest of them. While I was the leader, unofficially we all had a say.
"I say we don't, we can defend just fine, right Gabriel" the person who said that was another woman, this time a blonde woman with a halo sitting lazily atop her head.
She sat subserviently behind Gabriel the dragon woman.
With a look of thought Gabriel looks over, "Darwin is strong, stronger than all of us combined, Naomi"
"I guess but why do we need him even if he is stronger than us we can defend, just look at the pathetic Gauls that we had killed even their leaders were only tier 8."
Looking over at Naomi over her outburst, the golden halo that shone on her was part of her talent.
Simply called Halo it allows Naomi to heal those in the vicinity of their wounds, a great combination with the power of Gabriel.
With Gabriel's firepower and the healing of Naomi they had been able to take out multiple Gaul sites though since they hadn't been focusing on their takedown they had not ended up in the leaderboard.
…
We had ultimately decided that we would not seek help, even if we had there was nothing that they could do in such a limited amount of time.
As the sun rose up into the sky a great crack resounded throughout the realm, shaking it to its very core. Everyone had fallen to the floor as the power that protected our realm shattered.
[The realms veil has broken, prepare to defend yourself against invaders]
Not even a second after the notification rang out two more came.
[The Gaul civilization has obtained 1/5 ownership of the realm]
[The elven civilization has obtained 1/5 ownership of the realm]
"WHAT!" roared Gabriel equal parts shocked and horrified. "I- I didn't even know we could own the realm and now these invaders own 2/5 of it."
…
[The realms veil has broken, prepare to defend yourself against invaders]
[The Gaul civilization has obtained 1/5 ownership of the realm]
[The elven civilization has obtained 1/5 ownership of the realm]
'They finally came' I thought to myself. This war had suddenly gotten a lot harder. Before I had thought I had enough time to atleast take ownership of 4/5 of the realm but now, now that I had gotten so distracted they had taken 2/5 in just a moment's time of being here.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSure they had their spies gathering info but that didn't discount how horrifying their power must be to obliterate the realm defenders in such a short time.
Turning to Tama I ordered her to prepare our defenses, "Have every human that the ash trees have spawned back in the territory building walls and traps." taking a breath I continue, "Melia and Delta will be responsible for the defense of the territory while you will come with me to hunt them down."
"Yes, my Lord."
Before I did that though I looked at the territory and decided to evolve it. I was tier 5 and as such could evolve it to that level.
[Crowns house]
[Tier/Level: 8/1(can be evolved)]
Quickly I evolved the territory to tier 6.
With two flashes of green light the house had undergone a tremendous change.
Instead of the small tree that it had been it now stood twice as tall as the largest trees in the forest. Though that wasn't all, it exerted a feeling of pressure. Like if I wasn't the owner I would have been knocked out just by feeling it.
Looking at its status I could see the change.
[Crowns house]
[Tier/Level: 6/1(can be evolved)]
[A nature aligned territory house that wards off hostiles with its great presence.]

AN: This is the end of volume 1, not sure what to call volume 1 but the next arc is the war with the middle realm. Thanks for reading
