Author's note: Sorry this is my first time writing a novel, so I tried all the styles a bit and I think I'm going to focus on an omniscient point of view because this is the one. there which makes me most comfortable and which I think is preferred by all readers.
{Omniscient point of view}
"Victoria, today I make a promise to you that I will eradicate every Zaran on Teloria and they will all be gone from the planet in less than a month. William said in an extremely cold voice, hugging her.
Normally anyone who heard such nonsense would laugh, but to Victoria it sounded extremely warm and trustworthy.
At the same time, the thunder stopped roaring, the clouds disappeared as if everything was an illusion, the sun again blessed the Northern Kingdom as Arthur descended from the sky like a divine being.
William released Victoria from his grip as he watched him descend. This scene lasted for a few seconds, until Arthur reached the ground, opened his eyes in William's direction, and dropped to one knee.
"Thank you to the King, for granting me such a blessing, today I take an oath that I will go through all future trials with my King and that he can use my power as his sword to annihilate all his enemies as he pleases. in the 4 corners of the universe. "
Seeing this situation Edward, Charles and Frederick also rushed in front of William to also drop to one knee and say at the same time:
"Thanks to the King, for granting us such a blessing, today we take an oath that we will go through all future trials with our King and that he will be able to use our power as his sword to annihilate all his enemies at will. 4 corners of the universe. "
Not wanting to feel left out, Victoria wanted to participate in this ceremony as well, but a hand rested on her shoulder and prevented her from making any movement.
"When did he get so strong?" Victoria thought incredulously. From the moment that hand came to rest on her shoulder, it was as if her body was supporting the weight of a mountain and she couldn't move.
"I have never doubted your loyalty. I said calmly this time with a slight smile. I waved my hand lightly, and the bodies of Arthur, Charles, Frederick and Edward rose to their feet in one fell swoop under the impulse of my spiritual energy.
"From today we will begin to completely eradicate the Zaran race from Teloria until they are completely extinct. I continued, but this time in an extremely cold voice.
At the same time, a team of soldiers ran through the gate of the capital.
William turned to observe them. Seconds later, they came a few feet away from him and dropped to one knee on the ground.
"In the report, we discovered a gigantic formation right in the middle of the city. We suspect that this is a teleportation formation leading directly to the capital of the Zaran: Zedrum. Said the soldier who was in the middle.
William looked at him strangely.
"You have no knowledge of the formations so how can you know this is teleportation training? "
The soldier said nothing, but simply held out a phone with a video paused.
William took it and hit the play button. Out of curiosity, the generals surrounded him to watch the video as well.
A humanoid with dark red skin and pupils appeared on the screen. He also had 2 horns on his skull, signifying that he belonged to the Zaran nobility.
Behind him, one could recognize the buildings of Aurora. Countless unconscious humans were carried by the Zaran soldiers to the center of the formation, then they disappeared into thousands of particles. Soon after, the same Zaran soldiers reappeared, but empty-handed. Sometimes some humans woke up but immediately the Zaran soldiers reacted and brutally punched them in the neck. The brutality was such that one could seriously question whether the humans suffering the blow were still alive or not.
It was possible to hear the sound of fighting echoing through the city from time to time, but it never lasted long.
"Hello Queen Victoria, you can call me Johannis, it is an honor to speak to you through this short video. As you can see, we are temporarily borrowing your citizens in order to train our new soldiers. Don't worry, it was all done with your father's consent and in exchange for a pretty large sum of money. You can get your share of the money back from your father. Thank you for your attention, I wish you a great day. "
The short video ended there.
A strange silence settled. No one could realize what had just happened.
Victoria finally broke the silence
"I know you have all kinds of questions. I will answer it. I am the Queen of the Northern Kingdom, but also the Princess of the Victorian Empire. "
Everyone's eyes were focused in her direction.
"Normally I shouldn't tell you this, but Teloria has been in the Zaran for a long time. They are simply using this planet as a training ground for their soldiers. Of course the superiors of the Human Federation are on the currents but the Federation is already overwhelmed by war and is even threatened with extinction, so the Federation absolutely cannot afford to deploy troops to save us. My father knowing that mankind was on the brink of extinction planned to cling to Zaran and become their vassal. But in reality, humans will just be treated like cattle. Only the current leaders will be able to live a decent life after this event. I knew the truth after I rose to rank (D). I had been invited by my father to a meal bringing together all high-ranking people such as the Kings of 9 other Realms as well as the Zaran nobility to congratulate me. My father even planned a wedding with the Zaran nobility. "
Everyone let her speak.
"So I came to the Northern Kingdom and became its Queen in various ways. My dad didn't chase me down and just let me live in peace. If he had a choice, he naturally would not wish to become the vassal of another race either, but the current situation shows that humanity has no other choice if it is to survive. At least I managed to inadvertently create a little haven of peace in this perilous world, only a few soldiers were symbolically sent to the war front each year. All of our citizens lived in ignorance but also in happiness. "
When Victoria finished her sentence, there was neither anger nor hatred on everyone's faces. Only sadness could be seen, but William kept a straight face.
"Ok, get all the soldiers back here. William ordered the reporting soldier, breaking the silence that had settled in.
"At your command, King. "
The soldier quickly left with his team towards the city.
"We don't stand a chance against the Zaran, we'll just go seek our own death fighting them. Victoria said calmly.
"No you're wrong, we can win this war. William replied firmly.
"After so long using human blood to strengthen themselves, The Zaran race has a terrifying military army: There are several million soldiers in the rank (E), tens of thousands of soldiers in the rank (D) , at least a few hundred soldiers in row (C) and there is a good chance that there is a Zaran in row (B) leading the operations! Victoria exclaimed.
"We will not immediately go and fight them. We currently do not have the fighting power to save the captured humans. So now we are finally going to build a real army so that in less than a month you will all reach rank (C-). "
At William's words, everyone was suddenly enlightened. Previously, only Arthur, Frederick, Edward, Charles and recently Victoria were incorporated into the system as generals, but not all of the soldiers present had ever gone to hell for training!
So, it only takes a week to get a soldier army in rank (E) and each of the current generals will be able to get 30% of the experience gained from each soldier. With the current number of soldiers, it is easy for each general to break through to rank (C-)!
"Arthur, what talent did you get from the talent ticket?" "
"According to the system, this is an Epic talent, he grants me the blessing of lightning, this is higher form than affinities. This blessing allows me to be totally immune to lightning to some extent. In terms of stats I get a 100% bonus in all stats as well as a 500% bonus in agility. Finally, I have the power to summon lightning to defend myself or to attack. Arthur said with a smile.
Whether it was Victoria or William, this time no one could maintain a calm face, this talent was too amazing! He was so powerful that even among the entire human race, the probability of finding a talent of Arthur's level was probably in the order of a one in a billion chance, or 0.00000001% chance of it appearing on one. human !
William quickly came to his senses.
"Okay, the plan I envisioned will turn out better than I thought then. "
" A map ? Everyone wondered.
"Has anyone forgotten that a great source of experience has never been used? William asked with a small smile.
"Is the king talking about the soldiers of the capital as well as of our cities?" Charles questioned doubtfully.
"Absolutely, so far I had never incorporated soldiers into the system, but now their strength is required. So my plan is to incorporate them all right now, all current soldiers in rank (F) will become soldiers, all current soldiers in rank (E) will become generals, while you will become supreme generals. »Said William calmly.
Everyone listened calmly as the excitement began to fill them. It meant so much to them, because even though they might not yet know the full benefits of being a Supreme General under William, no one doubted that this position would be the most admired position in the entire human race in the future!
"Our hundreds of soldiers will fight the millions of enemy soldiers in the row (E), our few dozen generals will have to fight tens of thousands of Zaran soldiers in the row (D) while you will then have to fight the several hundred soldiers. in row (C). "
Disbelief was written on everyone's face, everyone regardless of their rank would have to fight at least a hundred people in the same rank as theirs. This kind of strength was clearly superior to any divine warrior! After all, even the best Divine Warrior could at most face a hundred people of his same rank, but afterwards he would be totally exhausted and would therefore have to run away and that would be true only for the best Divine Warrior. .
Normally a Divine Warrior could only face a few people of his rank at the same time and that was already amazing!
Everyone looked at each other and thought:
"What kind of incredible army will we become? We are going to write a new legend with our blood! "
