"My lord" The generals greeted as Viktor came into the room
"Sit… His Majesty has left me in charge of today's missions but first, How is the reclamation team going" Viktor asked
"They are still in transit, however they are heading dangerously close to he Undead zone" one of the demon goblins answered
"Orcs may be all for pillage and destruction but even they would avoid the Undead Zone like a plaque so her territory must still be in the forest" Viktor reasoned
After he was reborn, he knew only a single threat and that was the Undead that inhabited the area towards the *south*. His Majesty hasn't really talked about it much so it may be that he had forgotten or that due to the events of the past week, he had temporarily ignored it.
Viktor found it shocking however that despite all the monsters that attacked the territory, he didn't find as much Undead as one would expect in the 'waves', as his master and lady Alex called them. Goblins and Orcs were everywhere but the Undead redefined the meaning of abundance.
They existed in the water, underground and in the skies. They consisted of every species meaning that if you can die then you had a 98% chance of becoming an Undead, the other 2% was in the scenario where you are buried in some Holy land like the past Goblin Emperors.
"Inform them of their location to get them ready for the unkillable monsters and also I want a team of drones, scouts etc on that area yesterday… Do you understand?" Viktor commanded
"Yes, my lord" the goblin replied as a general followed him out to arrange for the scouts
"Good and for the rest of you, just like last time, 50% of your men are to remain behind and the remaining are to be sent out. Your job is to scout out, eliminate or recruit said village if needed but the main mission is for you to create outposts on these positions" Viktor said pointing out several strategic positions on the 3D holographic map that was displayed on the table before them
"His Majesty once said that after yesterday's attack, we should focus entirely on turning this place into a real kingdom so….. Hestia?" He called out into the thin air
"Yes?" Hestia answered as she materialized in the room
"My Lady!" the Generals and the goblins in the room greeted to acknowledge her presence
"Half of the remaining 50% would be handed over to Hestia here, our population has surpassed a level that his Majesty has to be in charge of building for us…. Hestia here is in charge of such infrastructure and they are to report to her" Viktor said
"Yes, my lord" the generals answered
Viktor continued giving orders as the number of generals in the room slowly reduced until there was none remaining. His Majesty may have rebuilt the territory according to his requests but those advises were given for times of war like the past week but now, the territory would experience a steady peace…. Well at least according to his Majesty.
If his Majesty was right then the entire territory needed to be redesigned with even more details to accommodate the soldiers who would soon turn into civilians. His Majesty had brought about the building called a 'School' but the building was only used by Demon Goblins to learn more about their magic skills.
His Majesty had said that the building was to educate the children but there are no children in the territory since everyone was a soldier and there was a small war going on. The circumstances had changed so the environment needed to change with it and if that changes, the people would follow as well.
...
While Viktor unleashed his Nation-running know-how on the generals and Demon Goblins, the real ruler of said kingdom could be seen floating through the skies of an incredibly large mountain range covered entirely in trees.
The mountain he was floating towards was incredibly large and had multiple caves on its sides. With just a glance, Kingsley could see several creatures clinging to the sides of the mountains but they never went near the caves.
These creatures all looked like large lizards with wings for forearms and a sharp talon at the end of said wing. Strong hind legs that allowed it hold itself up despite its unstable footing. They were all of different colors with some of them even breathing out something of the same color as them from their mouths.
*Bang*
One of the creatures slammed into Kingsley who for the sake of safety had created a shield around himself. These creatures may look like they were minding their own business but he could feel their sights on him, they were all predators and unlike most predators, these ones hunt for sport not for food. He had observed their behavior long enough to know that.
"Unfortunately, you guys have no way of detecting Mana…. wait, do I even use mana to create my things" Kingsley thought to himself as he continued floating towards the mountain at a leisure pace
He had his hands placed behind him as he floated by as though he didn't feel threatened by anything in the area to be on alert and well… he didn't feel threatened by anything in the entire space. A few minutes of leisure flight, Kingsley finally arrived in front of the mountain and headed straight for the Cave at the top of the mountain.
Arriving at the top cave, Kingsley strolled in as though he owned the place. As soon as he entered the cave, several incredibly loud growls could be heard coming from the darkness as though some creature was trying to warn him but Kingsley completely ignored the sounds as he continued in deeper. The cave was much bigger than he anticipated but it didn't matter.
"Why is this place so dark?" Kingsley asked as he ignored the presence of the creatures hidden in the dark
"who are you, Little one?" a deep ancient voice called out from within the dark
"light" Kingsley said and immediately the entire cave lit up as a bright orb appeared a few meters above his head.
"That's better, now shall we continue" Kingsley said as he raised his head to look at the massive creature that was once hidden in the darkness.
It was a massive red lizard like creature with four legs and a set of wings that covered it's entire lower body. The creature possessed visible red scales that flared up from time to time as though to warn him of the danger associated with the creature.
"I am pretty sure, I created a volcanic region for your kind… it seems that dragons despite their reputation for being noble creatures enjoy power a little too much" Kingsley said as he turned to the back of the red dragon to see a blue one lying on the ground with multiple injuries and no heartbeat.
"What do you want?" The Red dragon asked as it took a few steps back and the white scales on its belly began to glow red
"From you, nothing… from the Water dragon, a lot" Kingsley replied as the atmosphere changed as it slowly turned into an oppressive and intimidating one.
"You insolent little creature!!" the red dragon shouted as the red glow on its belly began going up and soon it opened it's mouth as the dragon spewed out fire on to Kingsley's location
"I would advice you see from any further antagonistic acts" Kingsley warned clearly not affect by the fire breath that melted the rocks around them into lava
As though irritated by Kingsley's words, the heat of the fire increased and so did it's destructiveness as the portion of the cave behind Kingsley was blown away and vaporized into nothingness but Kingsley remained and a quick glance to his face, one could easily notice the intrigue.
"That's enough" Kingsley said as he raised his finger and instantly all the flames started to gather at the tip of it as though they suddenly developed a mind of their own.
Soon a massive fire ball could be seen floating above kingsley and the dragon who could see this held nothing but shock in its eyes. This wasn't how things were supposed to play out, Dragons reigned supreme along with just a few other species so how is this little creature able to survive his attacks.
"See you have only two options from here… surrender!" Kingsley said as the massive fireball suddenly reduced in size to form an even hotter and more destructive sphere of pure plasma
"or die!" Kingsley continued as the plasma ball got reduced even further until it was the size a small egg.
"I would rather die than surrender!" the dragon said as Kingsley rolled his eyes
It was common knowledge that Dragons were incredibly prideful… this pride allowed them to be extremely courageous at least when they benefit but also means that they do stupid shit like this. Every other creature would have surrendered when they realize they can't win instead this little bugger had insisted on death.
"At least you would deserve it" Kingsley said as a red laser immediately escaped from the floating ball of plasma and headed straight for the dragon at speeds impossible to dodge.
