"Report me about the situation of the cultists at the moment..."
As Klaus said that the friendly atmosphere suddenly became serious, the Pope and Arch Bishop also became serious and all gazes suddenly went cold
"The situation with the evil cultists is quite grave right now..."
As she said that the room suddenly became extremely silent, Klaus took a deep breath and thought
'The Devils can't come to this world without any kind of factor from this world, they must be summoned and summoning two devil lords will require a huge price...'
"What did they do?..."
Klaus questioned with a grave serious tone, he had somewhat already analysed the situation but there was still a hope in his eyes but next moment his hopes were shattered to the point of no repair
"70,000 people... More than 70,000 people died in the hands of the cultists and we still haven't found the base of cultists from that region yet..."
Hearing that reply the light in Klaus's eyes immediately disappeared and the room turned cold to the point where the flowers themselves became frost
Klaus sighed and said "We will need to stop all that as fast as possible, the number of cultists will be directly related to the number of casualties of near future
I will be taking some serious measures later, for now..."
Klaus took out a few documents from his storage and tossed it towards the pope and commanded
"These are the places secured by my Team Zero of Dragonoids, you can ask Rindur for more details if you want
But for now take these places under the church and keep it secret, erase all the presence about these places
These are the places that are the biggest factor against our future problems, there are a total of 232 of these places in my territory
And then about 1683 of them all across the Empire, these are the places that will be the centre of all chaos and one of the most dangerous areas of the World in future
I will discuss this matter with Emperor and Magician Tower too later and I will write the recommendation later for the church to secure these places at Whiteblood Family Territory, there are about 27 of them there too
Most of these places in Whiteblood Family Territory are quite useless so I don't think they will have objection after my recommendation
Overall our objective is to secure these places as much as we can and take it under our custody completely with absolute authority here"
Pope flipped a few pages and noticed a map of Empire with all those places Klaus was talking about pointed in detail
She analysed all the papers in a few minutes and looked towards Klaus and questioned
"But what exactly is in these places you have been talking about?"
Klaus replied in a straightforward manner without batting an eye
"Rifts from the future..."
"Rifts?"
The Pope was very confused by Klaus's answer and questioned again, Klaus just nodded and next moment a hologram of a circular torn space appeared in middle of table
"This will be what you call the centre of chaos, I will tell from the start, these places called 'Rifts' will be gateway for the beings from the World of Devils to enter our world without any kind of summoning or sacrifice
Those bastards are completely different from monsters, just like we have mana those Devils will be filled with power of 'Misama'
Misama and mana are natural enemies, if both got into touch with one another one of them is sure to devour another one
If even a slightest amount of Misama entered the body of any being from this world it will be not any less than a lethal poison with almost no cure
After coming in contact with Misama the first thing that will happen is that all monsters from all over the place will have immense increase in their strength and numbers
So by taking authority over these places we will be isolating these places which will have rifts on them in about a year..."
After hearing all this the faces of the Pope and Arch Bishop suddenly became pale and the Pope asked in panic
"Then... Isn't there any way we can destroy rifts or avoid casualties!?"
Klaus suddenly grinned hearing this and replied in cold tone "Of course there is, these rifts are not much different from one time use dungeons
But the problem is that it can grow by consuming others almost infinitely
Each rift will have just one Boss Devil in it with minimum strength of Greater Devil, by killing them the rifts will also disappear
But the problem is their strength, I will take care of that matter but it's clear as day we won't be able to take care of all rifts legally
There are so many idiotic formalities among nobles so I will rely on church to cover my peoples for me to take care of rift!"
The Pope and Arch Bishop were in awe at Klaus's suggestion and the Arch Bishop questioned "But how did you know about these matters?"
"I'm the Saint here, Divine Revelation?"
Klaus just made an excuse which suited the situation perfectly, but the other two looked like they had more belief in Klaus's words than Klaus himself
Klaus laughed awkwardly in his heart and once again continued
"Anyways! The duration for this task will be exactly one year, after that the chaos will start and we can't do much after that
We will need to avoid commotion with common people too, try negotiating with the lords of the territories for this situation and keep it as secret for now
If they decline the help then we can't do anything except work in the shadows, we will be busy handling our shit let alone worry about others..."
Klaus sighed and rubbed the back of his head with a tired face and once again continued
"Did you find the bases of cultists in this territory?"
The Pope nodded and passed Klaus the details and replied "We have figured out most of the places and I'm thinking of starting to take action right away!"
"No, leave these places to us, I will take care of this afterall I will also need to show some presence as Lord here, focus on other territories..."
Klaus placed the details to his storage and next stood up from his seat and said "Then you all focus on that, I will get going too..."
Seeing Klaus leaving next moment both Pope and Arch Bishop suddenly stood up and the Pope asked
"But Saint we still need to take measures to make you an official dress as Saint!?"
"That's what you are worried about?"
Klaus gave her a dead sigh and shooed her away and just replied before teleporting away
"I will take care of that myself..."
With that Klaus disappeared in space and after almost a week Klaus decided to start his official beginning as a Duke and for the Klaus needed to organise a noble party and invite various high bosses of the Empire
But before that Klaus needed to finish some important business in his own house
Right now Klaus was standing in front of Zoya who was kneeling to ground like a knight and all important subordinates were also present at the hall
Klaus was wearing a high grade noble uniform with dark blue shirt with a suit and a luxuriously bright cape of Sealtiel and the crown of Michael like a true Duke
The crown was quite different from those of kings and emperors (image in chapter comment)
Klaus held a sword of lord provided directly by the Emperor which quite the luxurious noble sword, Klaus moved his sword two times at the shoulders of Zoya with a smile and said
"I officially appoint 'Zoya' as the commander of the 1st knight order responsible for my escort and congratulations on reaching the peak of Tier 8..."
Zoya nodded with a satisfied smile and a confident look on her face
"Thank you My Liege!"
Klaus nodded and once again announced "With my Authority as a 'Duke', I appoint my vessel Zoya the position of 'Countess', and family name of 'Gale' and one weak vacation!"
Zoya smiled and with that Klaus suddenly removed all of his formal lord like aura and his sword also returned back and he said in casual tone
"This formality shit isn't my cup of tea, it's finished right?"
Hearing Klaus Ashia just nodded and next Zoya also sighed and stood back with a smile and went directly to her kids
"See! Cool right!?"
"Ooohhhhhhh!!!"
"I will try doing that too after I become an adult!!!"
Kyle and Ava both had turned 13 years old and both seemed to admire their mother a lot, Zoya also seemed to be acting cool and smug in front of her kids
"Hehehehehehe..."
Klaus suddenly started laughing suspiciously seeing their reactions and admiring eyes and next moment his eyes turned towards the little twins and
Both twins looked confused but next moment Klaus's words widened their eyes
"Idiots you didn't even realise... You both will have to attend the Genesis Academy for the next 12 years now! Ahahaha! You fell right into my trap! Wahahahahaha!!!!!"
As Klaus finished his words a look of horror and realisation flashed through the eyes of the twins as they looked back and forth between the sad face of their mother and evil grin on faces of all beings gathered at hall
"Hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe...
Idiots you didn't even realise... You both will have to attend the Genesis Academy for the next 12 years now! Ahahaha! You fell right into my trap! Wahahahahaha!!!!!"
As Klaus finished his evil words a look of horror and realisation flashed through the eyes of the twins as they looked back and forth between the sad face of their mother and evil grin on faces of all beings gathered at hall
"Noooooooooo!!!"
"That is cheating!!! How can you do that to us!!!"
Both twins fell to the ground in their knees with tears rushing from their eyes,
Klaus seeing their reactions just smiled, others also seemed to have similar reactions
'Well this is actually the best way for the kids to avoid unnecessary troubles here at the place...
With Zoya being Commander now she will have to spend her most time helping me out like an assistant and leading her knights
She won't have time for the twins now, in this situation the academy is better than leaving them alone here...'
With that Klaus turned around and tossed the crown and cape back to storage and went out of the room with a calm face
Ain and Ashia also followed Klaus out, Ain passed Klaus a list and started his report
"As per your orders we have recruited a lot of people, they are still under training but with the techniques you provided it won't be long for them to reach standards of Whiteblood Family soon
Along with that I have divided the knights into 11 groups of 11 knight orders, the first knight order will be led by Zoya now
And for other 11 knight orders I have assigned the knights who were under me as the commanders, all of them are experienced and mature
Along with that the mages have been also recruited in masses but we are having trouble finding a leader for mages in absence of Merlin
For assassin unit Arno had been assigned as leader, it seems he had also created few changes according to new situations
There are also some other units too, but overall we have reached the standards of Duke in terms of numbers of men under us
But we are still far behind in terms of the quality of our soldiers..."
Klaus nodded and commanded "I'm going to meet them as soon as I have instructed before, I want each one of them gathered in the outer city headquarters"
Ain nodded and turned to a corner, next Klaus's face turned towards Ashia and Ashia also reported the situation
"The preparations for the noble party is also almost finished, just some final touches are remaining and
The Lord Arhemes De Whiteblood has decided to announce your engagement on this occasion too
The news about this engagement is still not disclosed to anyone outside of Whiteblood and Walpurgis family in a noble society!"
"Father?... Alright!"
Klaus also nodded in understanding and next Ashia continued "Do you have some special guests you want to invite Lord?"
Klaus looked thoughtful for a moment and started talking again
"I was thinking of inviting some people, well let's start with Reus and the party at top of the list then
The second princess of Elves, Sylphy and Danzal Dia Amon, he was a great demon last time we met I don't know about the current situation
There is also Pette Maguire from family of Swordsmen, and then we will need to give invitation letters to some more people for formalities
Hmm~ actually there will be few more people from adventurer days, all of them are bigshots..."
Ashia nodded while noting things down and inquired a little "Your Grace, what if some of them reacted in an unexpected way and offended other guests? Won't the guests make a scen-"
"The guests will die if they try anything funny"
Klaus's reply was blunt and cold, but it was clear from his tone that it wasn't him who will take action, it will be his personal guests who are going to take action
Ashia was caught off guard here but she still nodded without showing any change in expression on her face
"I will make sure there are no unexpected situations then..."
Klaus nodded and opened a portal in front of him and Ashia and both entered the portal
Next moment Klaus and Ashia appeared in front of more than million people gathered in front of him at lower ground
There was one giant stone in front of Klaus, Ashia just moved her wrist for a moment and next moment the whole stone was perfectly cut into a stage with stairs too
Even all those millions of strong men seemed to be amazed by the scenery in front of them
Klaus slowly went to stone stairs with a serious face followed by Ashia and even Ain appeared behind Klaus
As Klaus arrived at the top his gaze moved towards all people gathered in front of him, there was an undescribable silence at the place and the million men gathered at place seemed to be matching their breaths all at once
"I'm the Lord of this territory! Many of you know me, many don't, some may have heard about me and some may know me since the birth
But let's start again from today onwards! I'm the only Liege you are allowed to serve from this day forth!!!
No matter the origin, no matter the colour, no matter the background or status, the only family you have here is your comrade standing right beside you!
The one you entrust your life to is either your God or Comrade, so the respect towards each other is a must in these lands of mine
The only thing I demand from you is loyalty, give me your loyalty and I will give you the life of a hero and death of a legend!!! The days of warriors and the night of dragons!!!"
As Klaus said those words the eyes of all beings gathered there suddenly shined in bright light and all looked at Klaus with great admiration
Next moment a dark warrior like sword emerged in Klaus's hands and Klaus pointed it towards the skies in front of him
And next moment as if an earthquake had appeared in place, the whole place shook because of unitary movements
All the hundreds of thousands of knights of 12 knight orders and 11 legions led by their leaders, all thrust their swords to the ground and knelt with their armours all at once
Followed by them were the mages, thousands of mages in different robes just like their elements with one person as their leader in much fancy looking robe
There were also 7 units of assassins, all wearing hoods and cool looking face masks led by Arno
There seemed to be about tens of thousands of them, if we take it to this scale of people the number of assassins were certainly small but the cold chill in their aura was a completely different thing
All knelt to the ground in unison as Klaus stood in front them, then there were also three legions archers, 2 legions were made up of humans while the first legion was made up of only elves but there was no overall difference in their skills
And finally the Beastmen of Godly Beast Clan, they were still wearing light clothes which was now specially made for them from furs and leathers of high grade monsters
This group seemed a little chill and excited seeing Klaus, then there was also a unit of Dragonoids, Spiritualist and Monsters Tamers
Some new races can also been seen in groups like Onis, Demons and Dragonkins, there were still about a few thousand of them from each race
But now as fast as eyes can see, every being at the place was kneeling to Klaus in unison, Klaus nodded with grin and without anyone noticing a white flame appeared in the soul of every being gathered in there
""""We swear by our loyalty to Lord Klaus!!! From this day forth our souls shall be in service of the Liege!!!""""
Just the sheer numbers sent shivers to any being watching this, Klaus nodded with a slight smile on his face and after observing the beings gathered in here he commanded once again
[God's Descendent title is showing the effects!]
[The subjects are unable to betray you!]
"Good!!! I will look forward to your services, treat the allies with heart, treat your enemies with Sword, treat the citizens with kindness and the criminal with mercilessness
The family with love and friends with respect! You have given me your loyalty then I shall give you a new life!!!
The little gifts will be sent to you later! Dismissed!!!!"
After saying that Klaus also turned back once again and after giving one glance back Klaus opened his portal back to mansion
But as Klaus did that suddenly all beings gathered in here became confused but just as the seed of commotion was about to make its move
Suddenly Isis appeared at the place with Robert and Lumina looking at beings gathered there and muttered
"This will take a little time here..."
