Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 110 Effects Of Reputation Value



"There are no enchantments on that vehicle, whatever mechanism is allowing it to float is purely physical… our airships don't have such capabilities" Frug, the gnome pointed out as i smiled

"So?"

"That's enough, we were given instructions… it would be best for everyone to return to carry them out" I said to stop them from bickering

"Since when did you become one to follow someone this easily… there is something you aren't telling us" Black Rock asked as they all caught up to me

"It is nothing you don't already know, the legends spoke of beings powerful enough to destroy cities with nothing but their breath, Demons so powerful that they could only be rivaled by the monarchs or a group of winged beings just as powerful. Thousands of years ago, those beings ruled this land and waged war against each other"

"Now… here they are again" I continued as i pointed at one of the soldiers the king had left behind

Looking in the direction i was pointing at, i could feel their hearts drop and honestly it was satisfying. Fear gripped their hearts as realization began to settle in, they had spoken because they didn't realize just how much this whole ordeal had saved them. I enjoyed the looks of understanding that appeared on their faces later on and couldn't help but smile.

That was the exact same expression i had when i discovered their existence, the Archdemons and the Archangels. One servant to a Demon king and the other to a being who referred to herself as God. They were beings capable of untold things through means only they knew.

"Are you saying that these men are Archdemons" Frug asked

"That much should be obvious… we all may hate this situation but it is the only way for us to survive, the good part about it is that this new conqueror seems to care enough about our people to make such policies" I said as i looked the book in my hand

"My lady, you can't tell me that you plan to actually read it… a mere book wouldn't be able to teach you anything that you haven't learnt in your thousand-year rule" Black Rock said

"You will be surprised" I replied before hovering into the air and flying towards the castle

The book was titled 'Rules of Kingdom Building: 101', the strange King had said that it should help in helping us adapt to being governors under him. As Black Rock had said, there was nothing i expected from this book that would teach me anything else however if my long years have taught me anything, it was that assumption was never the way to go.

….

[Hey @Lord [Kingsley], i have some natives here, Gnomes to be precise, they are asking if i can accept them into my territory… should i?]

[I also have some Elves here, i think the undead around here chased them away from their homes]

Kingsley received multiple messages as soon as he arrived in his city, he didn't reply them yet since he didn't truly understand where they were coming from. He understood that when the natives would come ask for refuge from them if something chased them away from their homes but common-sense dictates that you ask for such help from people you think and know will take you in.

"Is this the effects of the reputation value" Kingsley asked

Was the system so powerful that it could somehow increase the reputation of a city that had never done anything amongst the locals in the area. It didn't make sense, the locals around the area asking to join him was understandable because he was the one conquering and doing everything but the Governors... that was weird.

Kingsley didn't want to say anything about the issue so he maintained his silence as he stepped out of the K-4 and onto the lands he was familiar with. The Thrones as always reappeared beside him as he made his way to the castle.

"Do you guys have some sub dimension; you guys can access or what?" Kingsley asked

"Your Majesty?"

"Where do you guys go when i enter the K-4, i know you guys aren't at the location i leave and you aren't with me so where do you go" Kingsley asked again curiously

"That?... I… we just delay our moment of appearance until you come out of the K-4" one of them answered

"Teleportation is instant so you guys surely have somewhere you hang around" Kingsley said as he walked towards his castle.

As he walked more and more people began to join his protection detail like they had done in Euroa as though there was something that could kill him in this territory but he didn't reject it either as he just went along with it. Soon all his territory within the Aenon forest would be interconnected and when that happens.

All manner of races would be moving through these streets and then who knew what their intention would be. Of course, he planned to evolve all three other nations and that will make them loyal to him but unlike many of the people in this city, they will have their past memories and they will make decisions based on that.

Which in turn also means that they could betray him where they can depend on the alternatives so this protection detail while useless at the moment was seen as preparation for the future. Several minutes later, Kingsley was inside the main castle itself and back on his throne to deal with the issues he had at the moment.

As soon as he sat down, the familiar god-like view of the world came back and with better control, Kingsley immediately located the governors and surprisingly there weren't just two of them. There were many Governors who had some native of some kind standing and waiting for help at their door.

"Is this really the reputation value or the titles" Kingsley asked when he saw a group of undead camping outside the walls of one of the governors.

The Governor in question had probably not noticed them because she wasn't doing anything about them, he didn't believe that anybody would let the Undead so close to their territory especially when they had the means to dispatch them easily. The guns of the wall weren't doing anything to the undead because they didn't come with harmful intentions hence why they were safe.

Apart from this particular governor, there were also a few other governors who had weird creatures seeking refuge in their territory. Kingsley didn't understand why this many natives were suddenly seeking refuge, yes, they were all in different parts of the world but it didn't make sense but then again, who was he to judge.

If there was some sort of Native war or that the system was simply creating natives that have no choice but to seek refuge with them, it wasn't much of his business. Now that he had a little understanding of what the governors were talking about, he was ready to comment. However as soon as he opened his [Chat] function, messages from all over began pouring in.

The Regional Chat was filled to the brim with questions as to what the Euroan Queendom and how he had conquered it despite it only being a little over a month since we arrived. Kingsley looked through the messages before turning his attention to his kingdom chat.

[To all the Governors who contacted me about the natives camping outside their territories and those who didn't, I would like to tell you that the choice is yours… though inform me if you unlock some extra function, I'm curious what will happen]

[Help me, i have some dragons roaming all around my territory] a governor suddenly posted

[Are you sure they are dragons?] Kingsley asked because well he doubted that some dragons would suddenly want to join one of his governors even if the reputation value of the nation was high.

[I don't know, i haven't appraised them but they've blocked the light source and they look like dragons and i am afraid of leaving the castle]

[Light source?] Kingsley asked before through all the territory available to him

Turns out such a situation wasn't actually rare, there were many lords who were dealing with it and haven't posted anything because unlike her, they were brave enough to go check while others were… well asleep, so they haven't noticed. The governor who sent the message could be seen hiding by the window of her castle as she peeked outside at the dragons.

Her territory was underground hence why she needed a light source and as for the dragons, they really were dragon. Earth Dragons to be exact however Kingsley was still confused as to why they would want to join them. The reputation value should make them want to challenge the governors not join them.

[Don't worry, they simply plan to join your territory… send an automaton to confront them and tell your dwarves to stay clear of them, do you understand] Kingsley chose to simply reply her through the chat instead of direct telepathy.

[Okay but why would dragons want to join me… it's not like i have treasure in abundance… the gnomes on the other side do so why?]

[I don't know] kingsley lied
