"Well i should probably connect the territories permanently if i want it to progress" Kingsley thought to himself
Deciding to solve that issue later on after he comes up with a better method of putting that into play, Kingsley focused on the issue he had picked up on whilst on his way to Euroa for the meeting. Updating the weaponry available to his army, the traditional guns was no longer working since the soldiers often found themselves putting down their guns in a fight.
He would need to redesign the gun entirely to use mana instead of standard projectiles. If he could somehow make the gun have the ability to turn mana into bullets and preferably bullets of all kinds and elements then things would be even better. This wasn't a problem of if he could do it, he wanted the gun to be reproduceable by his engineers and smiths so the design had to be normal.
"Hestia!" Kingsley called out
[My Lord?] her familiar soothing and smooth voice filled the air as she materialized before him
"Can you tell the head engineers and other related professions to come see me tomorrow, i have work for them and i have yet to show my appreciation for the coaches" Kingsley ordered
[As you wish, do you need anything else wile i am still here] Hestia asked
"No, I'm turning in for bed… see you all tomorrow" Kingsley said as he stood up from his throne and left for his room in the castle.
It wasn't exactly night or even evening yet but Kingsley felt that he needed to leave the throne for a while to get his thoughts in order. The throne may offer a view of everything and should normally allow him make the best decisions but it wasn't so, it was like the throne though came with all its benefits was just a center of unclarity.
He didn't understand why it was so but it was what it was. He left to his room but didn't sleep or anything of that sort instead he simply stood by his window looking out at the territory contemplating the best moves to take at the moment. The best thing he could do had already being established and that was to connect the territories together but he had no idea how he will go about that.

Change of POV
Gathered in front of the main command room were various uniformed all armed to the teeth and ready for deployment, looking to the side, one could see hundreds of Griffons lying in wait and beside them were some K-series vehicles. I remember when i used to be a part of them but now, i stay behind a large monitor and direct things.
"Morning sir!!" They all saluted
"Morning and at ease" I replied while standing before them
"I can feel your thirst to turn the undead to dust so i'll try to keep this as short as i can; his majesty has finally given the permission to vaporize these unnatural creatures from the face of this planet and for Deus, we shall deliver!!" I shouted riled up for some reason even if i will not see the battlefield
"For Deus!!" They all replied
"I like that enthusiasm; however, his majesty has confirmed the existence of a Monarch amongst the Undead so caution is the watch word here, you notice the possibility of a monarch existing in the city you will be attack and you retreat to report, do you understand?!"
"Sir yes sir!!"
"Good… her highness, Athena has declared that this is a no holds barred mission, ride to give the enemies hell and to my fellow archangels, i want you to bring heaven to their door steps. Remember we only have a few days to deliver"
"We will sir!!"
Hearing their reply, i smiled as i watched the excitement on their faces. I still don't understand the purpose of attacking the undead though but like them, i can't lie that i don't enjoy it. The Undead were unclean creatures that not even the all accepting heavens wanted, they were a pest to all both above and before.
Erasing them from existence was an understandable thing to do especially when said undead territory is just a few kilometers away from your territory's borders. His majesty was right in his actions to try to eradicate them as quickly as possible, as i turned to leave and return to my post.
The captains of each team took their teams and turned to go since they had all received their missions and this was merely a general briefing to get them up to speed on the new orders from above. Turning he could see the teams mount their griffons or enter the K-9s for transportation.
The griffons were used this time around because many of the teams weren't going that far so a k-9 would be wasted on them and above all, the enchanted claws and mounted guns on the Griffon would be of great help during their fight. It may not help much but it was an extra hand and an extra hand is always appreciated during missions like this.
Within minutes, the field was empty leaving only a few personnels and reserve squads who were to be deployed for reinforcements or for a rescue mission should anything happen to the active squads. I didn't have to worry about them since they all had places to be and things to do so i left for the command room.
The Command room was a room filled with various sophisticated equipment that even i didn't know what majority of them did but her highness had said it was all important. You could see various other archdemons and archangels on various floating screens doing one thing or the other, some waiting to pilot the soon to be released drones, others just ensuring that a stable connection was established between here and the teams.
"Your Highness!" I saluted as soon as i approached the lady who was standing in front of the entire room
Despite her status as a monarch, Lady Athena wore sour standard fatigues but you could easily tell her rank from her fatigue. She says it's easier to move in so who can argue with her, at the moment, the lady could be seen looking at the giant screen that seemed to hug the wall of the building.
On the screen, several dots could be seen moving at incredible speeds over the well detailed map. Those were the deployed soldiers flying towards their target cities, some were clearly faster than the others and it was clear which was which just by following their speed. Sir Hermes was incredibly fast, even faster than us the griffons which were honesty the fastest living creatures apart from the Monarchs in the territory.
"i can feel you blood boiling from here… you know you are an official right; this is the only problem with higher ranks" Lady Athena said almost like she was complaining
"My lady, i knew what i was getting into when i accepted this position however i am still an Archangel, we were built for war" I replied
"It is what it is… get ready, the first team is about to touch down, Arc team 03, i want a visual n the enemy territory, release the drones" Lady Athena ordered the team through the transmitter
A very powerful device created by his majesty. It somehow didn't use any mana or any special energy to allow us communicate with each other no matter where we were, it was not only used as a means of communication, it served as proof of identity for every Deus citizen and as a means to locate anyone no matter where they were.
My job was to ensure that each soldier was accounted for hence why i am here, i was the head of the surveillance department and many of my men worked here. My entire department revolved around this device and i can say with pride that just it alone can ensure peace in any territory within seconds, it may not allow you control others or as Lady Athena had said that it even helps to defend its users from any mental attacks
However, with a device like this that makes it impossible for any crime to go unpunished, you could reign over entire territories with ease, you can communicate from one part of the world to another in an instant. If there was a revolt somewhere, you could simply call the army stationed closest to you and within minutes, the revolt is quenched. Communication would be instant.
Majority of the things in the room worked with the transmitter, the giant screen shared the location of the teams with us by sharing its location and the screen here displayed that location in relation with the already established map of the Dead lands.
"Visuals are up, your highness" one of my team members said as a video footage of the location of the Arc team 013 appeared on screen
