BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 26
The best idea that came to mind was to simply change the bullets that his men had access to, replacing them with blessed versions that will allow them fight against the Undead but more than half of his men were demons and that move was just an accident waiting to happen though he will still go through with it.
The second-best idea was to swap troops with someone else, he didn't know if this was even possible but the system did say that you are free to do as you liked in your territory so it should be fair game after all there was no law or rule that the system gave that prohibited such a move.
...…..
[Good day everyone, I am looking forward to a troop swap, I am looking for any troop doesn't matter what rank, that has either a holy or Light attribute. Willing to trade with an SS-rank soldier or even an SSS-rank one. DM if interested]
A message appeared on the platform that evening that immediately sent the entire region into a frenzy. Everyone already knew who the Lord [Kingsley] was and knew about his unconventional ways. Many of them had received food from him and some had heard about his might from his governors but this was different
[Is this for real] a lord asked clearly just as shocked as the rest of the region
[Goddamn it! I only have these dumbass moles]
[I have winged horses, would they work… can I at least trade them for food]
[I have some Moon Elves, they are somewhat related to light… just moonlight alone, are they also classified as light based]
[Finally, it's my time to shine, I have Sun Fairies, give me those SSS rank troops] a lord posted and from the message it was clear that he was happy
[Who's the lucky bastard]
[Ehn... To offer help to those that want to trade, I would suggest you DM him in the Morning, he's a morning person so maybe waking him up with news of your light-based troop will make him happy enough to trade you with something even better]
[Are you one of his Governors, or what?]
[Yeah, and for the guy with the winged Horses, does their description say that they are a descendant of any mythical creatures of something]
[How do you know he's asleep?]
[I literally stayed in his territory for the entire week until I reclaimed my land earlier today]
[It says they are descendants of the celestial mount, Pegasus, will he accept them]
[We don't know the attributes of the Pegasuses… Pegasi whatever their plural is but I do know that he will trade them just for the purpose of having a Pegasi on hand]
[How many troops does he have]
[That would be state secret buddy but I can tell you that he is a spontaneous man so if your troop is interesting then he will probably trade for them]
[Thank you then Mr Governor]
[Its Miss, I just turned 17… I think]
[Wait, can you even exchange troops… does the system even allow it]
[I don't know but if the system hasn't taken it down from the Market place, then it should be fairly legal] another lord answered
[Wait how does he even have troops, I thought the system removed such features for him]
[I hope you know we are talking about the anomaly here right, you would literally be better off watching grass than trying to understand that man]
[If so then, who wants to trade with me, an S-class troop for an S-class troop] A lord said in the group turning the attention from Kingsley's proposal
However, despite the new wave of exchanges that began after that, none of them forgot Kingsley's proposal after all SS-rank troops were incredibly rare and there was even the possibility of being given an SSS-rank troop if he truly liked your troops. Above all, there was no recommended rank meaning that Kingsley would accept all if it had the Light or Holy attribute.
Inside a large medieval castle in the middle of an extremely large forest. a young girl could be seen sitting on a large throne with a holographic screen in front of her. Two strange looking beings could be seen standing by her side, they were just a bundle of wings and eyes which made them look more demonic than holy.
"Should I?" the girl asked herself while looking at her demonic looking troops
"You guys are great but you are all still just S-rank creatures" she said as though convincing her weird looking troops
"Don't blame me and besides it looks like he has need for beings with your kind of power" She continued but the creatures didn't react even one bit
"Do you guys have to be so robotic" She shouted in frustration since she felt somewhat guilty about wanting to trade them for something better
These were creatures that had fought for her and brought her out of situations she thought she couldn't survive from. they were also the ones who gathered all the resources, she needed to upgrade her castle to what it was today. They had done a lot for her and were by right, very powerful creatures to have around but they were still S-rank creatures.
The requirements to evolve them even higher was unknown and from what she had learnt in fiction, she knew that it was definitely going to be something very expensive or hard to achieve. Taking a deep breath, she made up her mind to go through with it while also praying that Kingsley gives her an SSS-rank troop.
"Also... how does he even have such powerful troops... is his ability to create troops from scratch or something?" She asked herself after remembering the restrictions placed on Kingsley.
"At this rate, he will probably conquer all of us as he said before" the girl said somewhat worriedly
"Well, whatever will happen, will happen" she said as she relaxed into her throne and got into a comfortable spot and got ready to sleep since she had yet to find any sort of sleeping material.
Somewhere else, in another castle somewhat identical to the hers. A man could be seen standing by a balcony with a tall humanoid being who towered over him. The man leaned against the railings of his castle as he looked out into the woods and on the familiar creatures that were patrolling around his castle.
"Gaba, how powerful do you think a triple S- rank creature would be?" the man asked as he turned to the being behind him
"My Lord, I have never come in contact with such a powerful creature however based on my ranking, I can say that it will be more than a million times stronger than I am... possibly on par with a young dragon or something" the being identified as Gaba replied in a composed manner pulling information from the archive of knowledge, he was born with
"That seems fitting" The man said with a sigh as he turned back to the woods
"Why do you ask, my lord… I doubt any being of such level would care to attack us after all we have nothing to offer them"
"Nkan yi jẹ rigged" Adeleke complained in his native language
"Sir?" Gaba asked not understanding the language spoken
"Don't worry, let's just pray that before then, things would work out in our favour" Adeleke said as he turned to retire for bed
"It will sir" Gaba replied trying to support his lord even though he had no idea what was going
In his opinion, things were definitely going well. They had survived the event of the past week with few casualties and had even gained more since most of the Ogres got even stronger due to them leveling up. There was also no enemy that was on par with them around the area, they had wiped out every Goblin or Orc village that could threaten them so things were definitely going their way.
However, since his lord had said otherwise then he must surely have his reasons. Maybe his lord wanted more from them or hoped that they would have achieved more by now but either way, Gaba just thought that they were doing extremely well for their current situation.
A few thousand kilometers away from Kingsley's Deus Kingdom, Alex could be seen lying on a comfortable bed in her new castle ready to sleep. After she had reclaimed her territory, a clone of Kingsley had come to set up the standard wall and castle protection for her.
She had seen Kingsley create things out of thin air or even mold out unbelievable things from unlikely sources like the K carrier series which were all carved from one of Hestia's walls as a way for her to easily have better control over them. However, this didn't mean that she was immune to the awe that came with being around while Kingsley built something.
She and her High Orcs had settled into the castle nicely especially after inspecting to make sure that everything was as top notch as it was in Kingsley's territory. The Demon goblin squad, Kingsley had ordered to follow her had yet to return back so they were all still here and looking out her window, she could spot a few of them patrolling the premises.
