Deus: We are all Lords

131 Regional Message



"Permission granted, Captain, go ahead… Drone team, get ready" Kingsley replied, speaking over the others.

"Thanks, your majesty" Heua replied.

"Bringing up visuals now" One of the many soldiers in the room said as the visuals brought by the now released drones.

It was just video from a single drone, but it showed millions of drones being released into the atmosphere. With the drones now in the sky, the drone team immediately got to work.

With everything set up, there was nothing more to do apart from wait. The already found lords were now under the protection of the Deus Army so when the event starts, they will be protected however the others were yet to be found and they could only be waited.

"Now we wait" Kingsley said as he sat back on his throne.

Meanwhile, back in their territories, the governors could be seen planning a rescue mission of their own. Their available troops may not be as much, however what they lacked in quantity was more than made up for in quality.

Many of them didn't have a family they had to worry about, however, feeling the pressure brought about by the situation and the quick actions of the king. All of them had no choice but to do the same.

All over the region, soldiers could be spotted leaving their home territory as they began their search for the target lords.

"System, if I want to broadcast a message like before, what do I have to pay?" Kingsley suddenly asked.

Unlike before where he was given the chance as a reward for his generosity, he had wanted to achieve the same feat but without the reward. It was obvious that it would cost him.

[Usually, five billion Lord points however due to the restrictions placed on you, king [Set] of the Deus Kingdom. The price has been changed to a more suitable once]

The system replied almost instantly as usual. He wasn't surprised by its choice to change the price however five billion Lord point!

At what point did the system expect a normal lord to have that number of points. From his calculations… well the calculations of the governors under him, five hundred (500) units of any resource was only one (1) Lord Point.

The other way of gathering it was ten (10) kills for one (1) Lord point. They were difficult to get and only the truly powerful or lucky ones had a lot of Lord points or had levels up territories.

"Then the cost for me would be what?" Kingsley asked as he prepared his mind for an outrageous cost.

[Lifespan, the price will be 50 years of your lifespan]

"What the fuck?!!" Kingsley shouted surprised.

He expected something outrageous, but this was too much, fifty years of his lifespan. He knew he had practical immortality considering his getup however this was the system. It may be capable of permanently removing that amount of lifespan from him.

"Fifty years!!... Humans only have about a hundred years to live and I have used twenty-one of that… you collect fifty then what do I have left?" Kingsley asked as he stood up from his throne agitated.

[The average level 50 has a lifespan of 300 years, 50 years may be much but compared to the total amount, it is nothing] the system replied.

"Oh… but will the message be as effective as the past one" Kingsley asked as soon as the misunderstanding was cleared.

He naturally didn't know that the higher one was, level wise, the more extra lifespan they gain. He had over 10,000 in his health bar and though he understood that it was on the high side, he didn't know it granted about 200 years of extra life.

[All system products are the best]

"Sure, just get on with it" Kingsley said as he got ready for the message.

Unlike the last time he used such a method to pass a message, he wasn't as nervous and unlike before, he was much more experienced… at least in the art of speech making.

Regional Announcement

The Individual, King [Set] of the Deus Kingdom has requested a regional message and said request has been granted. Message begins in 5… 4.

…..

Hearing the system, Kingsley immediately got ready as he enhanced his aura even more to feel as imposing as possible. Since he didn't look the part then he wanted to have aura similar to the part

With his already imposing get up, he didn't need to change his dressing since Diepe and her helper had done it all for him. He simply did what he had always done to look more imposing.

A holy aura appeared on him, and his crown began to glow brightly enough to grow into a full crown. His appearance alone would let even a pig would bow in reverence.

In the next second, a massive holographic figure appeared in the sky of every territory within the region. The figures presence alone caused a temporary pause in all activities as everything paused.

Good day to all my fellow lords, I believe that for you all to survive till now, you all are capable and strong enough to stand against the harsh environment we have found ourselves in.

I am writing this due to the recent announcement from the system. Now as a lord who has been upgraded to a king and as a family man, I am obligated to search for the events intended target. However, the same may not be true for all of you out there but I am appealing to your humanity.

This is the sixth week so from my estimations, you all should have at least sixty creatures in your army. I ask or beg of you to please send forth a piece of this army to locate and rescue our younger ones. They may or may not be related to any of us however, it is our duty as the survivors to ensure they survive.

It may sound forceful or even sound like an order however it will benefit you and all of us if there are more lords and not less.

….

'The figure said in a polite but very commanding tone, all simple looked on at the shining figure in despite his current intimidating figure, Kingsley pleaded even though he knew how low the chances were for some of the other lords to try to help.

While he did genuinely hope that they would respond to his request to try to rescue the newer lords, he also knew that many of not all of them will simply say it wasn't their business.

[Message end]

The system announced as soon as Kingsley finished talking and the large holographic figure vanished from the skies. In doing so, the once quiet environment immediately became noisy again.

Everything seemed to have suddenly regained a certain level of life to them.

*Huff… huff*

A young man could be seen on the floor panting hard to catch his breath and stand. His legs were almost as soft as jelly as he watched the figure disappear.

"What sort of power does this guy have?" The young man asked in frustration as he slapped the small mud puddle beside him in an effort to reduce his frustration.

He had stood no chance at all in front of the aura oozing off the figure. He couldn't even wrap his head around the fact that only the aura from someone was enough to nearly knock him out.

"Also was he begging us to help or threatening us?" The man asked.

He wasn't a stranger to the region, he had been here since day one, he was familiar with the anomaly and how abnormal he truly was however this was the first time he was hearing of a plea that sounded more like a threat.

*Urgh*

The young man made a noise as something slammed into him. It was a small creature, a four-legged one with heavy fur that covered a majority of its body.

Popular amongst humans and is known to be man's best friend. The dog looked too out of place in this world but despite all that, he couldn't do anything as this was the troop he had received from the system.

….

Name: Price

Race: Common Dogs.

Rank: E+

"Price, take it easy, you'll make me fall" the young lord said as he lifted the small dog into the air.

Woof!!

The excited dog barked as it continued to lick its owner happily. The dogs may be E-ranked but they do have their own benefits.

He served as the strength of the territory while the dogs served as his eyes and senses. Their senses were way more advanced than that of any human.

"Come on, Price, Lord [Kingsley] had given the order to help the others... let's go do that" he said as he lifted the dog off him and stood up from the ground.

With that the two walked out of the territory, like a veteran and his partner.
