Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 138 &Quot;Morior Invictus&Quot;





"Can you see anything?" One of them asked 

"Nope, still not talk enough" 

"Well, I can, and it is magnificent" 

 Hearing the third one's reply, the first two turned to look at her with betrayal in their eyes. Behind them were two High orcs and an Automaton.

 Their purpose at the moment was simply to keep watch while their masters spied however things wweren't going as well as they planned. The three explorers could be seen standing by the edge of a fence trying to peep in.

"Wait, something's wrong?" Alex suddenly said

"What is it?"

"We are governors of this nation as well, why are we spying on ourselves?" Alex reasoned 

Before she justified it because of her curiosity but now that she thought about it, things were different. She was entitled to whatever information was within the walls. The walls themselves didn't seem to be protecting anything secret rather it was made to simply keep civilians out.

Euroa hearing her simply shrugged as she too moved away from the wall, though her aim was to know more about her conquerors. She too understood that whatever information she would learn through her spying could be easily obtained by simply requesting it as all she had met had said.

"Wait… he can't be serious right?" The young man with them suddenly said while focusing entirely on the space before him.

Hearing him and noticing the man's odd behaviour, Alex quickly pulled up her [Chat] function knowing that it was most definitely something related to the Lords. As soon as she opened the chat, the first message that greeted her was a declaration of war.

[This is a warning to all,

In the next 15 hours, I will begin my attack. I don't care if you are a man or woman, I will recommend you don't stand in my way]

"Oh, he's angry" Alex said knowing Kingsley.

From the message even a child could tell that he was angry or simply that he meant what he had posted. It was sort of to be expected considering that the main reason why the man himself was pushing to expand his territory is simply so that he could find his family members.

Now due to the event, his younger ones were definitely in danger, it was understandable that he would begin his attack at such a time however the problem here was simply that the [Deus Kingdom] did not have enough soldiers to face off against the world but the region... Definitely.

"Can he actually do that?" the young man asked 

"He is king, and he is omnipotent… i don't think we should be worrying about him; we should rather worry about the rest of the world" Alex replied 

Meanwhile the chat instantly became lively as all immediately began to discuss his declaration. None could say they weren't warned however it didn't stop many from condemning his actions.

[What does this guy really think he is]

[Talking as though he plans to attack the whole planet at once] 

[Actually… he might really be planning that]

[Then let him come… my dark elves have yet to taste human blood, he might be the first]

[Do not bring death upon yourself, lord [Kingsley] is not a man you want to tell that to]

[I see you're one of his fanboys…. Let it be known that because he can protect you all doesn't mean that he is the most powerful amongst us]

[From all, i have seen him do… he is the most powerful amongst us…. I and all the other governors would advise you surrender]

[Morior Invictus… death before defeat] the lord replied in pride

[Et mortem, accipies… and death you shall get] 

The governor replied much to the surprise of everyone and in Latin as well. The governor on the other hand didn't think much of it simply because of the Transmitter. It was a device that held knowledge untold, language was guaranteed to be a part of said knowledge base.

"I know the king is powerful and possibly omnipotent but is declaring war against the entire world really the way to go" The young man asked

Even he understood that while the King may be omnipotent and powerful, he was still declaring war on all the other lords in the region. That was more than ten million lords, each with various abilities that allowed them to do a lot of incredible things.

"Like i said earlier, you should worry about those who don't surrender not his majesty"

"If this was a situation where they were attacking us then yes, i will worry about them however we are the ones attacking…. His majesty may have powerful troops but who is to say he is the only one with SSS rank troops in the region" 

"Appraise him" Alex said pointing at one of the Archdemons standing around

[Lord's Eye] The man said following her request

[Name: Himon

Rank: Disaster

Level: 34

Race: Archdemon

Health: 7074 (2000)

Physique: 6532 (2000)

Spirit: 6532 (2000)

….]

Viewing the report before him, the man stood simply staring at the street guard. He knew that the soldiers were overpowered but this was too much…

"Fun fact, he is a newer recruit… the others are even above that. Your king doesnt put his hands in things he isnt too sure about" Alex said as she gently slapped his back feeling satisfied

Just the look on her face was enough to satisfy her, she too had the same expression when she had appraised them back then. Worse, she had treated them with hatred and all because of her situation as of then but thankfully they were patient with her.

Although she normally wouldnt condon such pure acts of violence after all the people that would die from this war were also other people's family members but she knew that such logic fell on deaf ears with lord [Kingsley]

The man had done his best, he had offered them a literal paradise and they refused, gave warning after warning so in her opinion, if the war kills any of the Lords, then they only have themselves to blame.

"So what are you guys doing here?" a strangely familiar voice was heard

"Ah!" They screamed in surprised as they all assumed a battle stance 

 . Seeing their reaction, Kingsley merely smiled as it implied that they had seen combat. As for why they couldn't detect him, it was simply because they were in his territory. If they could sense him approaching then something was definitely wrong 

"You all can relax" Kingsley said in a relaxed tone

 Seeing who it was, a certain level of calm decided upon them; however, looking at the three, Kingsley could see that only Alex was relaxed. 

 . The young man with her was clearly not and Euroa seemed more worried about the fact that he could easily escape her perception.

"Your Majesty!" Euroa and the young man greeted as soon as they regained their bearings

 . Alex could be seen behind them waving with a huge smile on her face. Seeing her, Kingsley could help but smile…. Like he had initially said, the young girl behaved so much like a little sister that he couldn't even be mad at her.

"You both can rise… I want to assume Alex put you both up to this" Kingsley asked knowing exactly why they were there 

"Hey!" Alex screamed in surprised and betrayal

"What?... This isn't the first time you've done it" Kingsley argued

"So?... It clearly wasn't me this time" 

 . The argument continued as the two continued on mechanically. It seemed almost like they were actual siblings as the other two watched on in surprise.

"That person you are looking for would be me, your majesty" Euroa mustered enough courage and said to end the enternal argument 

"What do you think I am, Dumb?... Of course I know it's you" Kingsley replied almost as soon as he heard her

 . It was pretty obvious who had made them try to spy into the Military zone. The look of regret and despair on the young man's face was too much for him to be the mastermind.

 . Alex had once lived in the capital so even though it had been massively redesigned. She still knew many things, she had seen all of Kingsley's assets simply because Kingsley didn't bother to hide them as of them.

 . There was also the fact that Alex had somewhat of a blunt personality like Athena. She would rather ask for the information upfront than spy… of course as a human, one shouldn't put it past her to do so.

 . Out of the three, Euroa was the most suspicious. From the very night she entered the Capital, she had been doing anything she could to gather military related information even though her level of clearance as a Governor allowed her the opportunity to simply ask for such information.

"What?!" Alex screamed with a vein nearly popping out of her head.

 In anger, she quickly attacked Kingsley who simply kept her at arm's length. He may be a short king but he unlike the other have the opportunity to change it at will and he at long since set his base height to about 1.9 metres.
