Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 139 The Calm Before The Storm

?

 With his overwhelming stats, all he needed to do was simply hold on to the rampaging girl's head and keep it at that distance. 

 While Kingsley smiled at his accomplishment and the two continued their argument. The other two simply watched Euroa with a smile on her face as this simple display proved that her new leader had a consciousness.

 For the young man however, things were a bit different

"What is your name?" Kingsley asked as he turned to the man

 His presence amongst the two was weird, Alex did not like to be around other men after her incident. Even he, himself had to keep his distance to let the girl regain some control over her life at the time.

 Even after that, she still didn't have any males near her. Her troops were mostly females and eventhe males in her army were all posted far away from her so his presence was weird.

"Edgar Nikolai, level 27" the young man answered almost as though he was a soldier talking to his commander

"You can relax, I mean you no harm... How did you get with these troublesome two" 

"I'm sorry, your majesty but I simply wanted to explore the capital but then she started to follow me" The young governor, Nikolai replied

"You're Russian right?" 

"Yes, your majesty"

"Hmm" Kingsley said with a slight frown and then a sigh

 Kingsley simply considered all the rumors and memes he had seen and heard about the Russian and how the young governor didn't embody them.

 It was what he got from expecting an entire country full of people to behave after a specific set of people. 

"So exactly what are you doing here... I can't imagine that there is anything that can help with your war here" Alex asked

"Oh!... No, I'm just running away from Viktor" Kingsley said with a soft laugh that seemed to hold more

"Who's Viktor?" Nikolai asked

"He's coming, I have to go" Kingsley said as he vanished from their sight

 Almost as soon as he did so, another person took his place. Dressed in a black modern suit with red accents to it, a height of at least two meters in height.

 The aura around the being alone reduced all except one around him to their knees. It was clear that he was frustrated even though he possessed a different skin colour to humanity.

"Of course, he's gone" the being said ignoring those around him

"Sir!" Alex screamed out using all her might

"Oh... Lady Alex, what are you doing here?" Viktor asked surprised by her presence

 Immediately he withdrew his power, a huge sigh of relief was heard in the area as Edgar quickly drew in more breath.

 Seeing him, Viktor quietly placed himself in-between the two. Edgar stayed on his knees as he tried to catch his breath

"Who are you?" Viktor asked as his once dignified self returned

"Stop, you'll kill him" Alex said as she rushed in-between the two

If there was anything she knew about Sir Viktor and the others in the territory. It was that she held a weird special position in their hearts.

Even an animal would have long since figured it out. The soldiers thought she would be lord [Kingsley]'s wife at some point but the man in question doesn't show any form of interest in her.

Due to their self-drawn conclusion, they treated her as a mistress and it could be seen by the amount of arch demons and archangels that were guarding the area around them.

It wouldn't look weird at first but it was unusual for more than twenty of them to be stationed in just this section of the barracks.

She didn't know how Viktor thought of her since he never gave her any special treatments but it was clear that he would protect her when needed and since her incident as of that time was public knowledge. It was easy to understand his current behaviour

"I see, He is a friend" Viktor said as he withdrew his aura and Edgar finally collapsed to the ground

The young governor regretted his decision to follow along with these two. Well even then he still didn't have much of a decision in the matter, women were trouble and not worth it.

"Forgive me for my crude behaviour, it is just lady Alex holds a special spot in our hearts and you well..." Viktor said returning to his calm and collected self

"Don't... Huff! Worry... Huff huff" Edgar breathed heavily as he tried to catch his breathe as quickly as possible

His clothes could be seen completely soaked in sweat due tohe intensity of the situation. He felt as though he had just barely escaped death and for some reason, he felt as though this wasn't the first time.

Meanwhile Euroa could be seen quietly standing by a corner and watching all that was happening. She couldn't really interfere as she was much weaker than Viktor even though were Monarchs.

She was a life-oriented Monarch and her kind were known to have passive and soothing auras around them. Being in their presence was addicting as though you just entered some heavenly garden.

Viktor was in simple terms, a Demon king or god whichever you wanted to put him and his kind were offensive. Everything about them were offence-oriented, her aura couldn't resist his even if she tried.

Both were equal in power but considering their specialties, she was below him in terms of offence and possibly defense as well. However she could heal and regenerate all while Viktor could only kill... They simply belonged to different paths.

She couldn't match him simply because of this and though she could protect herself easily from the Demon's aura, she couldn't protect the new friends she just made.

Above all, Euroa counted this as win as she had learnt something important just by watching.

"Okay then, can you tell me where his Majesty went to" Viktor asked, half expecting an answer.

He knew clearly that if even he couldn't detect his Majesty then the two wouldn't be able to do so

"He teleported away... We don't know" Alex answered before Viktor nodded and took off in a similar manner.

Meanwhile in some rather large village, a young man could be seen standing before a bunch of beastmen. Each of these beastmen had awfully full hairs on their head.

Whiskers and various other cat-like features however looking at their distinct clout and the hair covering their heads, it became fearly obvious what they were.

The young man in question was a young human who stood at a height of about 1.2 meters and wore a simple piece of cloth that only covered his lower half.

"As of today, our duties have change we will be facing an opponent far greater than anything we have faced in the past so be prepared, sharpen your senses, fight to the end and give the enemy hell!"

The young man screamed at the end of his short speech as morals rose beyond normal. All were prepared to die for their master even before the speech and now the speech made it even better.

Like the young man multiple lords could be doing the same while some others were simply going through thei men and all their inventory only to realize just how outclassed they were.

Meanwhile back in the barracks, thousands of soldiers if not millions of them. Each one in their uniform and their guns beside them as they looked up that stage to see their king.

Kingsley's hands could be seen shaking as though he was nervous however if one looked closer or even knew what had happened recently, they would know it wasn't so.

The young king's hand could be seen repeating a certain option in the air almost as though he was signing some papers. Viktor had forced him to face the consequences of randomly declaring war on the world.

He had to sign papers permitting the soldiers to use any level of force they saw fit, he said papers that helped regular food etc. His hands were tired and he just wanted to rest but now wasn't the time.

"Salute!!" Each platoon's commander screamed as they all saluted their king

Kingsley seeing this waving his hand to put them at ease. His purpose here wasn't to inspire them and all that jazz.

These people's aura was nearly blotting out the sky just because they were told they were about to go to war. Both Arch demons and Arch angel alike were creatures made for war.

And though this war like all wars held some unpredictable variables in the form of the Lords and their abilities. The excitement didn't reduce even one bit.

Apart from his standard soldiers, several other races could be seen. The Sun and the Moon Elves stood by the side, the archdemons or whatever troops that belonged to his men could be seen standing to the side as well.

All in total made for at least four million soldiers and more could still be made to support them.
