Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 114 The Undead Monarch

"Well done, Arc team 013.. there are no more undead in the area, you are required to set up camp and wait for the the Gold team"

"Affirmative, Arc Team 013 out" the captain of the squad replied as communications was cut temporarily.

Their duty was done and had now being switched to simply guarding the city, they had conquered as they waited for the Gold team.

The Gold team unlike their name sounded wasn't some sort of special unit, they were simply soldiers with better senses for magic aka High Elves.

Unlike us, the Angels and the demons who use magic at its base form and out of pure instinct. High Elves are extremely sensitive to magic and thus have gone through all sorts of evolutionary changes that helped them master it.

Especially after the upgrade from his Majesty, a few weeks ago. We, the archangels grew massively in strength, all the demons had their races changed, the dragons all grew in power and possibly age, we have yet to determine how they became Ancient Dragons.

However the High Elves seemed to have remained the same but that was not true. Their magical capabilities seemed to have reached a whole new level and so did their physical capabilities.

Of course, compared to the other races under his Majesty's army. they were the weakest, physically but in terms of magical capabilities, they were second only below the nonsensical race known as the Dragons.

The Gold team's duty in this newly conquered territory was to search and document any artifact found. As well as gather any source of information they could in the city.

"Sir, Draco squad 02 has arrived at the target destination" one of my team members announced

"Do they even need our help?" I asked since I can bet my life on the fact that those damnable creatures could simply waltz into the traps and still make it out alive without any scratches.

"As his Majesty says, no one is invinble, not even a monarch so yes, they will need your help" Lady Athena said

"Of course, My lady" I replied as I focused on my duty and began guiding the new team.

Despite my frustration with how overpowered the dragon race was, I still understood my duty. They were just a little more powerful than any of us so they weren't invincible even if it seemed like it.

As I guided the squad, more and more squads began to approach their designated targets but her high ess simply stepped up and immediately began to handle the rest expertly.

It was clear to see how different things were if we both were compared. Lady Athena was as his Majesty put it 'A natural born general', she was a monarch who lived and breathed war like we, the archangels do but on a whole new level.

Minutes passed as more and more cities fell to us. Maybe it was because I wasn't at the Frontline that I felt it was too easy. The undead no matter what type couldn't even put up a fight before they were taken down.

"Your Highness, arc team 04 is not responding" one of the operators said as silence reigned in the room

"Location?" Lady Athena asked in a surprisingly calm tone

Obeying her command, the large screen changed as a map appeared showing the location of the team when they last responded.

"Do we have any visuals of the location?" She asked

"Not anymore, your highness, however this was the last image we received before the drones were destroyed" the operator said as he pulled up an image on the screen.

the image showed a large city and above it was a large being. A Skeleton in black robes that could be seen floating above the city. Despite it just being an image, I could easily tell just how powerful the skeleton was.

Even without the image, you could tell that the being was surely powerful after all it wasn't easy to kill a group of Archangels and Archdemons working together.

"Wait 15 minutes then send a rescue team to bring back our dead soldiers" Lady Athena said in a solemn tone before she vanished into thin air.

This was the main reason why she was here, to kill the Undead Monarch. Only a monarch can match a monarch in combat hence why she was sent here by his Majesty.

"Do we have the coordinates of this city?" I asked into the crowd behind me

"Yes, sir" one of my team members answered

"Good, portal some drones into the area... I am sure, his Majesty would also want to see this" I said as my team immediately began to do as I asked.

I may have not existed for as long as his Majesty but I do know that he is the curious and strange type so he may want to see such a battle.

Following my orders, a portal was created and some drones were released into it before it collapsed. A few seconds later, live footage of the city appeared on the screen.

"Broadcast it to all transmitters" a familiar voice said out of nowhere

"Yes, your majesty!" I and practically everyone in the room replied with a salute

It seems I was right, his Majesty was interested in watching it as well. A fight between Monarchs had to be something that anyone would want to see.

"What are you waiting for, do it" I commanded as they immediately began patching the video feed to every transmitter online.

This was the fifth announcement that had being made today that Lord [Kingsley] had conquered an Undead City. I do understand that he had access to some very powerful troops but wasn't this excessive.

How many cities could one army take down in a single day, many of the other governors and lords may not actually understand what Lord [Kingsley] conquering one of these Undead cities meant.

They had probably never seen an undead talk less of an entire city full of them. My territory was close to the one of those cities and I understood the terror each undead could unleash.

it wasn't much about their strength, it was more about the fact that they were practically unkillable, I remember when I had first surrendered.

Even the might of the automatic guns on the walls, Lord [Kingsley] mounted around my territory, wasn't enough to get rid of them though it did prevent them from getting close and eventually giving up on even coming close to the area.

You think you have killed one of them only for you to look again and see it reforming again. Now lord [Kingsley] was eliminating entire cities full of these creatures.

[Guys I don't know, this feels weird] A governor posted in the Deus Kingdom chat

[What?] another governor replied

[This war... I know I have never being part of the military but it's weird that our supposed king is waging war against an enemy but we, his vassals are just ideal]

[He did say that he didn't need any help so what can you do]

[Well his goal is to conquer as much land as possible right so why don't we send out our troops to maybe conquer the smaller tribes around our area... maybe it would help, I don't know]

[That is an excellent idea except my territory is in the middle of the fucking Undead Valley... what do you think my troops can do against his nuclear bombs]

[Well you can always skip this fight and also you have 50 SSS-rank Automaton... I think they should be able to make a difference]

[Not against the undead but if you guys want to continue go ahead... don't let me spoil such a good plan] the governor said

Reading the governor's messages, I felt I could related except I couldn't since my territory was on the outskirts of the Undead Valley or at least I think it is.

I couldn't even imagine what living at the center of the undead value was like. Even in such a location, I am already experiencing hell then what about that governor.

As for the suggestion that we sent out our troops to help further the goal of Lord [Kingsley], I could join in but the only place I could attack was the Undead Valley and I know I wouldn't win so it was better to simply let it be, unless...

"Can you guys fight underwater?" I asked the Automaton who was standing guard beside me

"We were design to adapt to any environment be it on land, sea or the air..." the automaton replied in a cold voice that I had surprisingly gotten used to

"Well then, I want 20 of you to get prepared,we are going fishing" I said as a wide smile formed on my face.

This would probably be the first thing, I am taking the initiative to perform since we all got on this strange land. Unlike the other lords, I have yet to leave my castle since I know how dangerous it is outside.
