BXBX NOVEL Chapter 72 22
"I welcome you all to my Deus kingdom, this is a multi-racial state and I hope you Dragons would respect that. You all shall be placed under the command of my existing commanders for now until we can figure out exactly what roles suits you all best…training and sorting begins tomorrow"
Dragons were known for their pride so Kingsley wanted to ensure that they all know the situation they were getting themselves into. The Demon Goblins were…. Well goblins and thus were naturally weaker... this could be witnessed by the fact that Ethan was stronger than Viktor and it wasn't even close.
Viktor's stats even as a level 21 powerhouse were lower than Ethan's level 1, though Kingsley felt that something was clearly wrong but he has no choice but to believe the numbers he saw after all it was from the system which was run by a being that knew more than him so he just went with it.
"Yes sir!" the army shouted and gave a Knight's salute which was simply placing their arm across their chest.
"Excellent, your new homes would soon be provided but for the mean time, I would suggest you get yourself familiar with your new environment" Kingsley added before he left the scene
If they were going to be a good army then it would be better for them to get to know each other well, how they would do this, Kingsley had no idea but he did know that for his sake, they wouldn't fight and even if they did, they wouldn't kill or injure each other seriously.
"Now it's just the Orcs" Kingsley thought to himself as he flew towards his castle
"Your Majesty, I came to inform you that the teams had returned" Viktor's voice sounded from somewhere beside him drawing his attention
"They're already back, how many hours has it been?" Kingsley asked the floating Demon Emperor who had somehow appeared beside him
"They also brought some rescues from the Orc and Goblin camps that were attacked"
"So basically, they didn't find another being like me"
"No sir but we have discovered a new race we aren't so familiar with, some of the goblins say that they are Elves but our memory fails us" Viktor said
"I feel like that isn't all, what else?"
"Lady Alex's Territory was discovered to border the Undead Zone and there is a high chance of her getting attacked soon"
"How's that a problem, we can just blow them to smithereens"
"Sir, the Undead are immortal… they are unkillable to those without a holy attribute, Ethan says only three of his dragons have such an attribute, himself included and we, Demon Goblins are well… demons" Viktor explained as a look of realization appeared on Kingsley's face
"In other words, anyone with a holy attribute attack can render all my men useless"
"Dead would be a more appropriate word"
"I have been so caught up in the good parts that I didn't even think of the weakness… come to think of it, it's weird that the system didn't just send a creature of the holy or light attribute on us during the event"
"There were, my lord but I took care of them, I am more resistant to such attacks than my men and like Ethan, I too can use the holy attribute"
"That does make sense, just take me to the Elves, I'll see what I can do about the Undead" Kingsley said
Here he was thinking that he was invincible on this land but turns out that his men could be killed if any powerful creature with either the light or holy attributes, came knocking. That wasn't safety, this was merely survival based purely on luck and for Viktor to complain about it that meant that their uniforms did not offer much protection against it.
"Right this way, sire" Viktor said while pointing towards a certain direction and Kingsley followed
The problem could be solved easily by just updating their uniforms to protect them from such attacks too but that uniform isn't always on their bodies and besides it was best if he could find a way to make, they themselves resistant to said weakness
"My governors should have troops with the Holy attribute, right?" Kingsley thought to himself as he pushed the subject to the back of his mind
The solution to his weakness problem was easy to find but the problem was whether it would be as effective as he imagined. He wouldn't know until he actually tried it so for now, he refused to think much about it until he has found what he had in mind.
With that, Kingsley finally focused on the road before him and found himself flying towards the territory walls. Enhancing his eyesight, a bit, Kingsley could see thousands of Orcs standing or sitting together just a few meters away from the gate.
Beside them were other sets of creatures, some humanoid and others looked more like animals the Orcs had captured for either taming like the incredibly large wolves or for food like the various hurids amongst them. The humanoid ones had pale green skin, beautiful features that made it impossible to identify if they were male or female with a glance.
They also came equipped with an unnatural size just like the Demon goblins standing at a height of about 8ft tall. Unlike the demon goblins though, they did come with long, pointed ears that looked somewhat like the high orcs but no tusks could be found anywhere.
"Bow before his Majesty" Kingsley picked up a command with his now enhanced senses as he saw the Orcs raise without any quarrel and bow
Seeing how subservient the orcs were, Kingsley began to wonder what sort of horrors they might have seen in the hands of the demon goblins. Orcs both in fiction and in reality…. Well from Alex's story, would never bow to another person unless the Demon goblins had traumatized them beyond measure which he honestly didn't put past the demons to do.
"Enough!" Kingsley said softly but it was loud enough to be heard by each and every single person in the area
"Your Majesty!" The demon goblins greeted as soon as he arrived
"Stand, take the Orcs to the training grounds, we will deal with them later…"
"Elves…" an amused voice sounded from behind him as a soft chuckle was heard
Looking back, Kingsley found the owner of the voice to be the newly evolved Dragon lord aka Ethan. Thinking about it now, Ethan should hold a lot of knowledge concerning the world, he was a dragon and his transformation didn't seem to affect his memory because unlike Viktor and most of the Demon goblins, he was of a higher rank before his evolution.
"You seem to have a much better knowledge of the species" Kingsley asked
"Not really, it's just that I have encountered them before in my past and they are annoying to deal with" Ethan answered as Kingsley noted
"I will keep that in mind" Kingsley said as he turned his attention to the Elves
Immediately he did so, a wave of extreme nausea and nervousness hit him in full force. However, a smile formed in front of Kingsley's face as soon as he felt the wave, that was how these people actually felt despite all the hard faces they kept. At least now, from the emotional waves coming off them, Kingsley would be able to correctly guess what they felt or thought about his territory.
"I have been told you all are called Elves, is that right?" Kingsley asked
"...."
A wave of silence washed over the entire area for some reason as the Elves just continued staring at him. None of them seemed like they were even ready to talk, he didn't know if this was because of their fear for the territory and his men or if they just wanted to remain silent but either way, they just remained staring at him.
"I see then, if that is your way of protesting your capture then good for you but tomorrow is the day, you are sent back to you homes so i would advise you corporate or you will find yourself stuck here with us forever" Kingsley said again since he didn't really need their confirmation to know if they were truly Elves.
His ability already did that for him and they were all what they called Forest Elves, which meant that in this world, there were probably other species of Elves somewhere. Their race had been confirmed but their stubbornness to cooperate would make things a bit difficult for him.
Well not that it truly mattered to him but if they refuse to cooperate and don't leave here by the next day, Kingsley had no problems forcing them into joining his army and also satisfy his curiosity to know what an Elf would evolve into. Would it go in Viktor and Ethan's direction with the first one to evolve becoming some sort of Emperor or Empress that can rule over the others or if it will just evolve into a stronger version of the Elves.
