Chapter 54: 4

"Wha…how is this possible?" a young female voice was heard and Kingsley turned to its source, only to see the girl, his general had rescued.

The girl was standing on the second wall and was tightly gripping a small gun and was heavily guarded by her summons. Just a glance you can tell, the girl was badly traumatized but it seemed that her strange environment was distracting her from it. He couldn't tell which part of the world the girl came from so he didn't even talk about it but due to her youthful looks and possibly age, Kingsley thought of her as a sibling he was responsible for…. well, more of just someone he was responsible for.

"How what is possible?" He asked in reply at the girl who was gazing at the army with her eyes wide open

Seeing where she was looking, Kingsley finally understood what was happening. Due to the system's regional announcement, everyone with the region knew that the system didn't give him access to any of its major functions like the inventory, its troop system and its building system. Everyone knew that but here she was looking an army of 5000 strong and more joining their ranks.

"Where did all these soldiers come from, where did this gun come from...?" The girl started to ramble on and on about the number of soldiers in his army

Seeing the girl's reaction and how lively she seemed, Kingsley could tell that the time allocated to her and her summons to console each other had some effect. He was sure that the trauma from such an event could straight up commit suicide but here she was actively complaining that he was too overpowered.

"I can see you are faring better now?" Kingsley asked as he hovered closer to her, he was really enjoying flying and didn't think he would stop doing it anytime soon.

"Eh?... oh yes, thank you for rescuing me and my men, they tell me, you healed me"

"I am not the one you could be thanking, it was General Rwak over there who saved you guys and healed you, I may be the leader of the territory but thanks should be given to whom thanks is due"

"I see then what do you want?" The girl asked catching on quickly but it seemed that she was thinking of a whole different situation than what Kingsley wanted and he could tell by how she gripped the gun even tighter and now had a finger on the trigger.

General Rwak and his men were the ones who had risked their lives to save them that day thus they deserved her thanks not him, he on the other hand had simply ordered her rescue simply because he couldn't watch someone get gang raped by the Orcs, he didn't even know that she was there but since she was there, all he wanted was her surrender and nothing else.

"Don't get in too over your head, all you have to do is surrender to me, that's all I have ever asked for" Kingsley replied

"Why?"

"Because unlike you, who can just kill a few creatures and level up, I have to conquer other territories to level up so now you have two options, surrender or I force the surrender out of you and I mean that literally" Kingsley said in a menacing tone

He knew the girl had gone through a traumatic event and all but honestly that wasn't much of his business. Even the cobbler gets his payment when its due and he wanted to get his, her surrender may be insignificant considering the ridiculous amount of people he needed to surrender just for him to go to the next level but each surrender counts at this point and each one meant that he was a step closer to finding his family.

"We surrender" the girl said immediately and without much hesitation

"Excellent!" Kingsley said as the oppressive atmosphere vanished into thin air and the girl immediately gasped for air with her summons surrounding her as though to protect her.

=========

Lord [Alexandria Quill] wishes to join your territory, do you accept her?

[yes] [No]

==========

Kingsley immediately accepted the request with a smile while rolling his eyes at how much of a bad deal breaker this girl was but it didn't matter to him after all he was now a step closer to leveling up. As customary for all his new governors, Kingsley gave her the standard treatment and gifts he had given the others.

"I don't know if it will help you guys in anyway but Viktor has confirmed the presence of Orcs including but not limited to three Orc kings so If you want, you can join in and get your revenge before your actual revenge" Kingsley said as he created some snipers and handed it over to the girl and team who were still trying to get their footing again.

With that done, Kingsley left her in the Hestia's hands after all she was more equipped to take care of situations like this. He returned back to his previous spot to oversee the recruitment, even while basically bullying the already weak girl into handing over his territory to him, he still didn't release his hold on the creatures of the wave.

Looking down, Kingsley could see several goblins of all types and forms standing in the clearing behind Viktor, from hobgoblins to hobgoblin kings, regular goblins to Goblin shamans etc and even better more were still coming which meant that today's wave was bigger than yesterdays.

After an hour's wait, the goblins had finally gathered behind Viktor and Kingsley proceeded to teleport them into the territory where they will be evolved into demon goblins. With that out of the way, Kingsley could finally start the battle. To him, the event was nothing more than exercise to sharpen and strengthen his men. He could squash the creatures in the wave into nothing but guts and blood just by increasing the intensity of his item's skill.
