Deus: We are all Lords

Day after day, Kingsley and his men stood on top the walls defending and recruiting more soldiers for the army. In the blink of an eye, four (4) days passed and it was finally the last day of the event, Kingsley stood at the top of the newly rebuilt wall while looking down at the army of Demons that were neatly lined up and numbered close to their millions.

These last four (4) days had naturally been tough, Kingsley had faced them all from Wyverns to Giant spiders. He had amassed an army that had long since surpassed the 900,000 mark and now had 50 Griffons in his army, it wasn't much when numbers were called but these were basically biological fighter jets.

Apart from them, Kingsley had also leveled up more though hasn't expanded his territory again due to advice from Viktor. Due to the number of people being added to his territory, Kingsley hoped to create a self-sustaining city. In order to do so, he had to only give them the basic amenities and let them continue to expand by themselves.

He created schools and gave several Civilization Crystals semi-sentience and a humanoid body to allow them act as teacher in these schools. With the help of Viktor and Hestia, Kingsley had come up with the perfect plan for a city or even a kingdom considering he has 100s of governors whose territories were only getting bigger each day.

"Today marks the last day of this hellish week, we have toiled to defend our home for entire nights at a go both from the wave and the natural monsters who attack at night. I have to say we have done incredibly well and we deserve to finally get some sleep!" Kingsley shouted as he addressed the crowd and they all responded with a great cheer

Due to the fact that the native attack him in what is basically an army, Kingsley and his men would have to stay awake to defend them and straight up from defeating them, they would be met with the wave and that was another round of fighting. They may not need the sleep but God knows all of them were tired of the routine.

"However today may also be our greatest battle yet, in the past few days, our enemies have gotten stronger and I don't expect today to be any different, today's enemies would be the strongest we have faced so far but we will match and they will die!" Kingsley shouted excitedly

"For Deus!!…. For Glory!!…. For his majesty" Viktor added as a massive aura burst forth from his body and like a chain reaction, all the demon goblins, in the army did the same creating an aura that could only be described as the personification of bloodlust.

He didn't know what they will find, out there but it didn't matter, this wave was going to end and the Demon goblins were going to come out on top. Watching the army of almost a million super soldiers cheering, Kingsley couldn't help but smile as a unique aura burst out of his body as well.

Unlike the overbearing divine might he was used to from his clothes or item, this felt much calmer and seemed to be from him. He didn't understand where this was coming from but he quickly started trying to restrain it since all the goblins were already on their knees.

...

Congratulations to the anomaly, lord [Kingsley] for being the first to the level 20. He has been awarded with the Lord skill, [Lord's Might]

..

A regional announcement was made and Kingsley immediately understood why the aura felt different. He had long since learnt to ignore the system messages that were personal so he had no idea he had leveled up to 20.

...

Name: Lord Might

Description:

A unique skill given to every lord. This is a passive skill that makes it possible for the user to always look more inspiring or command more respect in whatever they do. Due to restriction placed on the Lord [Kingsley], other sub-abilities cannot be accessed

Note: This doesn't grant automatic respect, the user still has to work for it

...

"Of course," Kingsley said as he smiled at the system's antiques

This was probably a skill that was available to all the other lords and was the type that allows the user a certain chance of inspiring great loyalty in a subordinate just by existing. To Kingsley, this wasn't needed simply because he had no one to make loyal to him.

The Evolution crystal already made Viktor absolutely loyal to him and every goblin or demon goblin was absolutely loyal to Viktor which was all he needed. The skill was somewhat useless but at least it would help to add an imposing aura to his appearance.

"Let's begin" Kingsley ordered as he withdrew his aura

Immediately the entire army separated but in neat lines as they matched to their positions. Six (6) days may not seem like a long time but it was more than enough for you to study the most effective places to defend a place from.

...

Announcement!!

Congratulations to all surviving lords. Welcome to the last day of your first Event, all surviving lords shall be rewarded handsomely.

The rewards can range from an increase in Troop rank to addition of talent. Please work hard in order to survive, the final wave shall end at exactly 12 PM. Those who performed well during the wave shall gain additional rewards.

The Wave begins in five (5) minutes, please prepare for survival.

...

Looking at the system's message, Kingsley couldn't help but smile. He could already imagine the fumes rising from the heads of the other lords, no one would accept such a weak gift after an entire week of continuous fighting.

Many of them may have even being injured or had lost troop members only for the System to give them such a helpful but weak gift. Kingsley felt that the system was not being fair enough to them after all such suffering shouldn't be rewarded with just a simple increase in rank.

The other lords however, didn't share the same sentiment as Kingsley after all they knew how much power each increase in rank or even level gave. Kingsley on the other hand didn't even understand the entire system of ranks nor could he truly feel the difference between now and when he was still in Level 1.
