Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 91 Entering The New Territory

?"How did they even manage this; it has only been a few days since the last report" The scout said surprised because this was clearly not how things were before.

"Be careful how you speak, we may be clear of hearing range but i can sense their presence everywhere" Garth warned

"I apologize however this wasn't what we expected… if they are capable of creating all this overnight then our plan of action may not work"

"True, these people don't even look like they need what we have to offer but that is the job of the Diplomats, let's hope they are as good as they say" Garth replied

The team of Diplomats in the carriage weren't quiet either as they all evaluated the land, they transverse in order to come up with a good pitch that will allow them secure the purpose of their mission. Though they planned everything they would say and reasons as to why said purpose was to be achieved, they knew that most of it would come down to the type of person the leader of the new territory was.

The team marched on until they came upon another wall and gate but this one was much bigger and looked incredibly majestic. The wall towered over them greatly and the gate was the same, they couldn't even comprehend how much man power it would have taken for such a massive wall to be built.

"Even with the helper of the Builders, such a wall cannot be created under two days" Garth said with furrowed eyebrows

By the reports of the scouts, there was a wall that surrounded the new territory but the wall was reported to be at most five (5) meters high and there was no longer a secondary wall but he could see a secondary wall here and said secondary wall was way too tall be at the height reported. Garth didn't need any other being to tell him that there was surely something wrong with the territory.

"Could this place be a dungeon… S-rank and above dungeons are known to be weird" Garth asked as he and all the other knights prepared themselves for any sort of battle that may come.

The team drew their swords as they rode cautiously towards the gate. As they got closer, they could finally see the gatekeepers which were two incredibly bizarre creatures with wings everywhere. As they gazed upon the creature, the need to bow in worship overwhelmed them.

Their horses fell instantly with their heads bowed to the ground; all the elves subconsciously found themselves kneeling in worship even though they had no idea why. The presence and aura the creature showcased was so too much for the knights to bear. Garth being the strongest in the group couldn't even lift his head and felt like he was in the presence of her Majesty but her at her prime.

"Are you the Elves who wish to see His Majesty" A calming voice was heard which immediately soothed all their desire to worship

The aura they once felt was slowly vanishing but they still couldn't muster the strength to stand and could at most raise their heads to look at their savior. Floating in front of them was a young woman who wore a type of clothes that could only be described as something only a celestial would wear. The woman was beyond beautiful but they all retrained themselves when they noticed the pointed ears.

"My Lady!!" Garth greeted as he mustered his energy to kneel and bow in respect

"My Lady!!" The rest of the Knights and the diplomats immediately got in their knees with newfound energy

"Oh... what a set of respectful lads, anyway, i assume you are from Euroa, right?" The lady asked

"Yes. your ladyship" Garth answered

"We were sent to see if Euroa and your territory can forge an alliance together…" The lead diplomat said as he came to Garth's side

"I see… follow me then, leave the carriage here and remember don't look up at any of the thrones, I hear that looking at their covered faces can draw Judgment" The lady said while pointing towards the two large winged creatures standing at the gate

"Thank you" Garth said as all of them followed the woman into the territory

Passing through the gates, Garth realized exactly how strong the walls were. even after walking for nearly a full minute, they still hadn't crossed over to the other side. He wondered what sort of enemies; the territory was facing that it needed such wall… even if the dragons that were mentioned previously were enemies of the state. Such a wall still wouldn't be needed

"Do you think our cannons can penetrate these walls?" a knight asked out of curiosity

"No, it won't… and also watch what you say or even think, his majesty is awfully protective about this place" the lady said still as carefree as ever despite hearing such a comment

"We are sorry, your ladyship, i will ensure they don't speak any such nonsense anymore" Garth said with his head bowed

"Don't worry about it, follow me and please be quick" The lady said as she led them into the main territory.

As soon as they entered the territory, the first thing they saw were, people. There were people everywhere and nearly all with species were of unknown species. They could see winged beings flying or walking around, there were elves but they were clearly of a different species since they felt vastly inferior to them, then there were the demonic beings.

Fear immediately gripped their hearts when they noticed the aura that was being thrown around the territory. They felt as though they had entered some sort of sacred land, they shouldn't have entered.

"Men prepare for combat!!" Garth suddenly shouted as he drew his sword and so did his men as they all suddenly got into formation

"It's a triple S-ranked Oni… protect the diplomats and try to escape" Garth ordered when he saw a red skinned being walking towards them

"What are you people doing?" The lady asked clearly angry

"Ma'am, please get behind us, it seems an Oni had somehow gotten inside you territory" Garth answered in all seriousness

"Pfft… hahahaha!!" The lady laughed out loud

"My Lady?" Garth asked in confusion

He didn't understand her reaction, The Oni were creatures that were known to destroy all in sight, they would attack no matter what yet she was laughing. Garth got the message that she was powerful... really powerful if his hunch was correct but even then, an Oni isn't something you can just ignore.

"My Lady, it will..."

"My Lady" The Oni greeted with a slight bow as it passed by them leaving the captain and his entire team completely speechless

"Hmm?" Garth asked in confusion as they all turned to look at the Oni

They just witnessed an Oni bypass them without attacking, it didn't sneer nor was it in search of food… nothing, it just bypassed them. Garth, a man who had spent years of his life protecting his kingdom and family couldn't believe what he was seeing, he had faced the Oni before and he knew that they don't back down no matter what even when against someone as powerful as her Majesty.

"Does that mean that they've being attacking us just for the fun of it?" a knight asked

"Probably not, I would advise that you don't use the people or things you see here to judge the outside world, now hurry up, we are almost there" The lady said after she managed to contain herself

With that the group decided to turn off their brain and follow her, the territory here was bizarre. First were the creatures of unknown species that were everywhere, the weapons, the winged beings everywhere and on the gate, the Elves that he couldn't understand what made them more powerful than they were and finally the docile Oni.

Nothing about this territory made sense so far, from the way it was designed to the people in it. Nothing made sense, there was a massive space outside the walls but it was only covered in trees of unknown type and immediately they enter the walls, all they see is a farm and several weird facilities. in the distance though, they could see several buildings but they looked like nothing they were familiar with.

"Here, follow me" The lady said as she led them into an underground area

They simply did as the woman instructed even though they were clearly suspicious of her motives in bringing them to such a location. As they arrived into the underground space properly, they could multiple people standing in wait as a massive contraption suddenly flashed into existence.

"What is this?" A knight asked while staring at the contraption that looked a little bit like a giant centipede, it was slender and hugged some strange tracks that were laid down on the floor

It seemed to be big enough to hold three people standing side to side with both arms stretched out and was long enough for six people standing in a similar manner. They saw people marching out of the belly of this beast as many of them who were previously standing began to pour into the beast
