Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 158 System announcement

Meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield, the lords finally stepped out of their safety zone after ensuring that no more arrows were flying towards them.

"Be quick, access the damage and salvage whatever you can so we can move" Alina ordered while still focusing on defence.

The arrow rain may have stopped but who says they wouldn't be able to do it again. There was also the possibility that this was simply a pause to get them to let down their guard.

To prevent further death, Alina sat cross-legged on the floor as she focused on her ability. As she sat, a small wave of energy appeared over his skin, covering her up.

The wave started to expand forming a sphere that continued to grow but the more it grew, the uglier her expression became. This wasn't something she had done before and for that reason alone, it would require more from her than ever.

As the dome grew to cover the camp, the lords slowly began to gather around her as they all also began using whatever skills they have to protect the camp.

"Support her…." One of the lords shouted before suddenly falling to the floor.

"Mia?" another lord asked in surprise as he tried to see what was wrong with the lady.

However, before he could even take a step, he saw the small hole and the blood that slowly began to form a pool around her

"Defend yourself, we're under attack again!!" The lord shouted while immediately diving to take shelter behind Alina.

Seeing this, Alina poured all she had into the shield as it quickly grew to cover the entire camp. Helping her several lords with other skills and many of the surviving troops immediately began summoning all the protective measures they had.

"This has gone too far, why don't we attack back?" A lord proposed whilst holding on to his injured arm.

A small hole could be seen passing through his arm, through his bone making the hand hang off his body like a bag. Beside him was what looked like an Elf but shorted and it glowed bright gold.

"How exactly do you propose we do that? Even from such a distance, they can accurately target the gaps in your armor, what do you think would happen if we get close?" another lord said, shutting him down immediately.

"Because they are good at such sneaky warfare doesn't mean that they are good in close combat, we can gather any stealth-based creature we have to launch an attack on them"

"Except, we don't have any stealth-based creatures" Alina finally spoke as everywhere got quiet quickly.

Apart from the constant bangs of what seemed like bullets hitting her shield, there was no other sound. Alina had long since realized her mistake in this battle.

She had imposed the same level of sophistication they had on the Deus Empire. Even an idiot could tell now that they were using guns, in fact that was a known fact amongst the lords.

However, like the Deus army had long since realized, normal guns had their limits, they could barely shoot down a C-ranked creature so even they as spectators in all of the Empire's conquers had forgotten that such an arsenal was available to them.

Battle field announcement

As night time approaches and the blood moon rises in the battlefield, the spirits of past warriors no matter their race, awaken to relive their battles. Each camp is to try and survive until the blood moon falls. 

It should also be noted that the strength of the warriors is not proportionate to your strength, they may be stronger or weaker. Do not underestimate them however in compensation as the first to ever encounter the Blood moon in the battlefield.

Each kill you make, shall increase your level by one. Destruction of an entire undead army shall improve total level of your army and if you dominate the other party in clearing the battlefield, you could receive a mystery prize

Good luck to you all

….

The system announced as everyone's attention shifted it, a clear look of surprise could be seen on their faces before a sudden smile could be seen on their faces.

One the other side of the battlefield, looks of surprise could be spotted on the faces of all the governors. The six of them had no idea where the system had gotten such a stupid idea from.

"This thing really loves limiting us, doesn't it?" Jerry asked as he chuckled

The very reason they were going through this tedious process was because the system brought about the War feature. True, it also helped them streamline their work quickly but it also made it a bit harder.

There were only about three Disaster-rank beings on the army and the rest were SSS-ranked. This gave them the upper hand above the Alliance.

But the alliance had access to more troops and a lot more variety than they did because they were an alliance not a kingdom or empire like they were. The system made sure of that.

"Flip the switches" Jerry commanded as a smile appeared on his face

Obeying his command, the shooters, flipped the very obvious switch that was placed by the side of the sniper rifles. As soon as they did so, they felt a massive drain to their spirit energy but to them, it was nothing as they instead chose to focus on their target.

Each rifle could be seen undergoing some sort of change until each gun began to look like something straight of a game's battle pass. Flames arose from some of them each time the user moves, ice covered the environment of some of the snipers.

Some of them could be seen now floating in the air. In simple terms, the secondary mode of the snipers allowed for true fantasy like equipment.

"Fire when ready… thin out the herd as much as you can" Jerry said as he walked up a rock and looked into the distance though with the help of some binoculars.
