"At ease" Jerry said as cold sweat ran down his back.
All of the monsters here once wanted nothing more but to send him to the depths of hell and if possible, even be the person to torture him but now they were looking at him with eyes that showed they would die for him without hesitation.
[Lord's Might]
A great aura burst forth from his body however when compared with the existing aura it was nothing, However, the effect he was after was achieved as the newly evolved archdemons bowed even more.
"On behalf of his Majesty, King [Set], I welcome you all to the Deus Kingdom. My name is Jerry Keg, leader of the house of Keg and you all shall be a part of my army. We are the spears that protect the Kingdom and I hope that you act on this mission with your whole heart and might" Jerry said
"We will, sire" they all shouted then bowed with their hands on their chests
Despite knowing that the aura generated by his [Lord's might] ability was nothing when compared to the passive aura these Archdemons released, Jerry still kept it active as it helped enhance his message.
His badge fully equipped on the side of his arm also enhanced his aura as a lord. Even if his majesty's evolution chamber had somehow managed to brainwash them all into absolute loyalty.
He felt that it was still necessary to make them respect him or at least earn their respect not just because they were forced to but because they found him a good lord.
"Number 19, you are in charge of sorting them into their various positions and accommodation" Jerry said as he began deactivating his active skills.
"Yes, my lord" The automaton answered as it and the other immediately began to herd the archdemons out of the chamber.
He, himself, also left the chamber and made his way back to his office. As he walked and saw the buildings that were quickly being completed, Jerry smiled.
If his past self ever heard that he would one day have such a territory under his name, he wouldn't believe… well mostly because no one rules over territories anymore in the modern world and magic didn't exist.
His duty as of now was simply to direct the demons here to conquer nearby territories if things went well, he would soon have a city equal to the size of his territory.
"Wait, does this mean that I am a demon lord?" Jerry thought while looking at the massive numbers of demons in his territory.
That was what his territory was growing into, the majority of his citizens were demons and not just any demons, they were all top-level demons. The environment itself wasn't truly helping with how treacherous it was.
"I'm a shitty demon lord then" Jerry laughed
His citizens were beings whose passive presence alone was too heavy for him to bear that the only reason he could stand and walk around was the badge given to him by the system.
The badge itself was an A-rank item that acted as his symbol of office and at the same time enhanced his authority in his territory. Basically, it meant that as long as he had the Badge on, their aura would never overwhelm him.
"Sir, the demons have been sorted out however there are still few utility workers amongst them" Number four reported
"How many of them are in construction" Jerry asked with a frown on his face.
"Out of the 600, only 3 of them had skills helpful in construction, the rest are warriors" Number four continued
"His Majesty did predict this as well… so there are no tailors amongst them at all?" Jerry asked
"Yes sir"
Jerry hearing him simply frowned as he began to think of what to do. Nearly all the demons in his territory wore the same rags they had before they evolved.
The Automatons didn't need clothes since they were technically robots. The amount of nudeness going on in his territory would be amazing if he was single but he was a married man with a kid.
There may not be any race in the territory that specializes in seduction but Archdemons are said to be the endpoint of all demonic races.
This meant that every orc, ogre, succubus, goblin, etc, out there would eventually become an Arch demon if they were strong enough and had met all the requirements needed.
That fact alone could explain the number of tall queens in the territory. Honestly this was a single person's paradise, a territory full of extremely beautiful women that would happily go to bed with you.
It was paradise for the eyes but a nightmare for any loyal married man. Hence, he needed tailors badly, turns out that there was a reason why majority of the wild goblins and other races were always either naked or in rags.
"I think someone should have a race of beings that are good tailors out there right" Jerry questioned himself but didn't act on it.
Unlike his Majesty, he actually had nothing to use as payment. His Majesty could easily give out SSS-rank soldiers but he didn't have such liberties.
He wasn't the king that could just simply request a fellow governor to loan him some of their troops, he couldn't even do a trade because all of them had nearly the same advantages.
[To all Governors,
You are expected to be at the capital in two days' time for a general meeting concerning the fate of this kingdom and those around it. Would also appreciate it if you use this time to come up with better suggestion, we could undergo in order to push our kingdom forward.
A car will be sent to pick you up so try to represent your houses after all you are all nobles now.
Signed.
Lord [Kingsley]
Just as he was focused on figuring out a way to solve his situation, a new message appeared in the kingdom's chat as a new idea popped into his head.
This will probably be the first time for many of the governors to ever visit the capital, him included however the fact that they were all coming together meant that he could use it as a chance to sort out his situation
There were also the natives that were now a part of the kingdom, if things went well, he could somehow manage to trade manpower with them for some utility workers.
If his castle didn't come with the magical kitchen it came with, he would have starved to death since the demons weren't cooks, they simply killed and roasted their prey and that was all.
The Automatons could help but they were his private bodyguards at least until he feels he could truly trust the arch demons if not then they would remain by his side.
….
At the edge of the massive Aenon forest, silence reigned as a group of High Orcs could be seen waiting in ambush as they watched a massive pig roam through the lands.
For some reason, the common animals of Earth were way bigger here with this particular one being almost the size of a house. The High Orcs all equipped with their weapons waited patiently for the massive pig to fall into their trap.
"Alright ladies, get ready, here it comes" One of the High Orcs said as she unsheathed her sword.
The pig in question could be seen running at a moderate speed towards them as though in search for better pastures to eat or smaller animals it could feed on.
"Shields!" She shouted as a small number of the High Orcs jumped down to block the pig's path
Each one equipped with a massive shield that matched them in height. As soon as they all jumped down, they immediately balanced their posture and in the next second, a heavy bang was heard as the pig collided with the shields.
"Steady!!" One of the shield bearers shouted as they all tried to hold back the mountain of a pig.
"Archers, fire!" The lady commander ordered as the archers which made up a majority of the team released their arrows which immediately found their way into the pig's skin.
"Why don't you use the guns?" the high orcs beside the commander of the team asked
"Can you control your mana?"
"No but we still have ammo that doesn't need mana… you know the old model"
"This is a B-rank creature, the bullets would bounce off unless you have all day to shoot at it continuously" The commander replied
"Oh… but what if we coat the bullets in auora instead, wouldn't affect them just like our arrows?" The high orc asked
"You're really the curious type, His majesty would have liked you… we will try that when we get back home, for now, follow me down" The commander replied with a smile as she turned to the massive pig before her
Without any hesitation at all, the two jumped out of their hiding spot which was high up in the massive trees of Aenon, with their swords/ spears stretched out, they immediately engaged the monster in close combat.
