Chapter 136  The Beginning

"Your majesty, everyone is ready for you" a voice called out pulling Kingsley out of his thoughts.

     Turning to find the source, Kingsley saw the female monarch who could be considered the Queen of darkness, standing just a few meters away and at attention.

"Okay" Kingsley replied as he followed her to a certain building.

"The scouts have found all matching territories within the territory" Athena responded as they walked

"What about the purpose of the event?" Kingsley asked

"They have all being marked and protected as well"

"Excellent" Kingsley said with a smile as they approached the building

     Walking into the building, Kingsley immediately noticed the increase in number of soldiers walking around the halls. He expected it after all, he had military personnel that surpassed some countries back on Earth.

     Noticing his presence, the soldiers immediately stopped, gave way, and saluted their king. Meanwhile Kingsley merely nodded in response as he and Athena continued their path.

     Soon they came upon a slightly familiar room, it was a situation room or at least it was a similar room. The room was outfitted with a table at its center and many higher-ranking members of his army could be seen standing beside it with a holographic map floating a few inches off the table.

      Around them, Kingsley could see several other equipment and several soldiers could be seen expertly handling them. Looking around, a bitter smile appeared on Kingsley's face.

       His mates came into fantasy realms and enjoyed it as it was, but he had practically imported the modern world into the fantasy world. True, all his equipment had been recreated with magic as the main parts but it all still followed standard scientific principles.

"Your Majesty!" the entire room greeted as soon as they saw him

"At ease" Kingsley replied as he walked straight to the end of the large table

       There, a large throne could be seen. Without much hesitation, Kingsley immediately took a seat as everyone immediately got back to work. Around the table were all his generals and the decision-making board of his army.

"Your Majesty, all targets are marked, and the army is ready for action, your orders?" Viktor asked as soon as Kingsley sat down

"Go ahead, i am simply here to watch" Kingsley replied in a cold tone

"Okay then, bravo teams, your mission is a go… your mission is to occupy not destroy however do be cautious" Viktor warned as he tapped around on the screen on the table

     Kingsley was here simply to watch. He wasn't a strategist nor was he some sort of tactical mastermind. It was best to leave it to the expert aka Viktor and Athena. They were beings who were born to lead battles.

"Aye sir" The captain of one of them teams replied

      Above the table was a massive screen from which, Kingsley could see everything. As usual there were multiple UAVs covering all the action so the command room here, could keep track and coordinate the army well.

     On the first monitor was the aerial view of a small village or at least it looked like a village, a castle village or town. His men could be seen surrounding the entire village or at least the markers that indicated their presence could be seen doing so.

      The village was basically a group of houses that surrounded the small castle and zooming in on the castle. He could see that the castle was yet to be fully repaired however it already had walls and the likes.

     It seemed like the Lord of the village was a cautious type. As the men approached the village, several other dots suddenly appeared on the map. This indicated the team would soon be attacked.

"Bravo team 5, there are a couple of hostiles surround you, be careful" Viktor announced as Kingsley continued watching

     Unlike before where it all seemed like a game to him, now he actually had something at stake. Previously he had hoped on the fact that his family members old enough to participate in the initial event were competent and lucky but now things were different.

      This event was targeted at what was basically babies and those of the older generation, these were people that even if they were given SSS-rank troops. They would still be unable to survive on their own, even the troops acted on their own to protect them, they would still be unable to find food and even if they did, what about shelter etc.

      The usual smile on Kingsley's face couldn't be seen instead a permanent took its place however no one in the room questioned why since they all knew why. Still watching the feed from the pro-gamer back on Earth. The speed of killing off the hostiles was battlefield, Kingsley noticed the red dots disappearing one after the other and at incredible speeds

*Change of POV*

    It looked as though i was watching the video gameplay of some pro-gamer back on Earth. The speed of killing off the hostiles was quick and steady. Soon the team was entering the village.

"Who are you people?" i heard a loud voice ask through the comms

     The language was one of the many that i didn't know but it sounded familiar, like one of the many back on Earth and of course, i understood what the person was saying due to the Transmitter's translation function.

"Patch me through" I ordered as i relaxed into my throne even more.

"As you wish, your majesty" Athena answered as she got to work doing so.

      Soon the small hologram of a middle-aged man could be seen floating on the table. The man looked human and from the lack of overwhelming height, i could confidently say that he was truly human…. Oh, and the language as well

     The man could be seen standing and facing my soldiers with his hands in the air with another creature standing directly behind him. It was a tall beast woman, and she could seen holding a staff. It looked as though he was trying to protect her.

"It's you!" the lord said in realization

"Good day to you too" I replied

"It's that time huh?" the man asked surprisingly calm

"Yes, you can either surrender peacefully or die… i don't create Fallen lords" I replied as i sat up from the throne to show a little respect to the calm man

      There was a clear difference between the man's reaction to what i expected from him. A normal person's reaction to such a situation would probably be to either fight to the death or find a way to escape but he simply resigned to his fate.

     For that fact alone, he deserved a bit of respect even though it wouldn't save him if he chose not to surrender. I have done enough charity and it was time to cash in said charity... Not is free even in Freetown.

"I still get to keep my territory, right?"

"If you do the sensible thing, yes"

"Then I surrender"

…..

Lord [Nkosi] is willing to submit to you. Do you accept?

[Yes]     [No]

….

"I accept" I replied as soon as the system message popped up

"Welcome to the Deus Kingdom, Governor [Nkosi] i hope you serve the nation with all your might" i continued as i turned to the man

"Thank you but i want to ask"

"What?"

"Why don't you guys just announce your presence first before attacking, i just lost some good men for no reason, do you know how rare Beastmen troops are in our region" The man said as he began complaining

"We… we will do that next time"

      It is surprising that we didn't think to initially announce our attack before actually attacking because from his behaviour, i can tell that there are a few other lords out there that will probably just surrender if they heard our name.

     Such a method would save our time and would prevent any loss of lives on both sides. After all, why fight when it can be avoided entirely. It was the sensible thing to do but for some reason, i had chosen to turn this into a covert operation.

"Bravo team 5, move on to your next target" Athena ordered seeing that they were no longer need at the location.

       Of course, i wasn't leaving the man to do as he liked. Like all of my lords, i will be sending Automatons to oversee him. He was just a caretaker on my land, i have to know whatever he was doing on said land. The occupation force would set up a base there for my troops,

      Yes, The Deus Kingdom is the USA of this world and i intend to spread that freedom as much as possible until my goal is achieved and more. Obeying Athena, the team immediately moved out, it was the second day of the event and the more I wasted time, the lower the chances of my younger ones surviving become.

"Home command, this is bravo team 18, we are approaching target now" the voice of the captain came through the comms, almost as soon as the connection was severed

"Bravo team 8, there has been a small change of plans… you are to announce your presence to the occupants of the territory, tell them your purpose and depending on their reaction, you are either to engage or withdraw" Viktor announced

"Affirmative" The captain replied
