After leading her outside, Kingsley waved his hand, summoning all that were currently in the castle building. As he had done for the other governors so far, he planned to give her a well built and furnished castle.
It was the basic package given to all Deus Governors and she will be no different. Seconds later, Automaton after Automaton appeared in their vicinity along with the rest of the grotesque looking angels.
"What do you plan to do?" Stephanie asked confused
"This" He replied as the entire castle vanished into thin air
"What did you do?!" Stephanie shouted
She had worked so hard to get the castle to the level, it was now. She had personally spent days chopping woods and gatherings stones just to upgrade her castle.
She had spent days waiting for her troops and the automatons to gather all other resources required for the upgraded and he had just erased it all, just like that.
"Don't worry" The clone said as it pointed towards the site of the castle
Before her very eyes, she saw brick after brick line up as the outline for the familiar modern castle began to slowly form. Within minutes, the castle was done and honestly the pain she initially vanished.
"How?" She asked
"You will find all you need within the castle and as a member of the Deus Kingdom, you are now required to join the war. A total of one thousand and fifty soldiers will be sent to your territory soon… lead them or help them conquer all within the area"
"Do I have a say in that?"
"Not really" The clone replied
"Before you go, I have a question"
"Go ahead"
"What do you think about the Human Alliance?"
"I have no true opinion on them, if they surrender peacefully then I have no problems with them however if they oppose me then I cant say much but it will never go well for them" Kingsley replied before vanishing into thin air
"Damn!, they dead" She whispered to herself before turning back to the castle.
There was no way the Human Alliance would survive this war with the way things were going. Majority of them were only part of the alliance, just so they could go up against her new king.
However from what she could see, they truly stood no chance. Shrugging off the thought, she happily skipped into the new castle as her troops followed her in.
However before she could enter the castle, a loud explosion was heard. Immediately she fell on her face with her hands over her head, if anything was to happen, this posture granted her more chances at survival than actually running.
"My lady, there is no danger... The Deus Army is here" she heard the familiar robotic voice say as she looked up towards the source of the explosion.
It was a massive red structure that seemed to be made from wood. She clearly didn't know what it was but she had seen it a lot of times in many Chinese based media.
Within the structure, she could see the stable but yet fractured space and the shadows that were matching through it.
Choosing not to further disgrace herself, she stood up from the ground and quickly began cleaning herself before the army arrived.
Seconds later, she saw a bunch of nearly arranged tall men and women in uniform match through the portal, each one gave off an aura beyond anything she had felt. Some she felt familiar to, some she immediately developed a hatred for, while some she just considered powerful.
"Good day ma'am, are you the governor of this territory?" One of the tall soldiers asked
"I... I am" she declared after gathering enough courage
"Well then, I am Captain Hyut of Beta 3 squad and commander for this mission. I am assuming you have being briefed about our mission here?" The captain asked
"Yes, I have... Though I don't think my territory is big enough to contain all of you" She answered
"That is not a problem, Ma'am" The Captain said before turning towards his men and nodded
Immediately the well arranged army divided into various groups, each side performing their own duties. However majority of them could be seen leaving the premises of the castle.
"If you say so" She answered
"Then I must take my leave, our mission begins tomorrow" the captain said before leaving
As he turned back, Stephanie immediately thought of him to be even more robotic than the Automatons. His actions seemed programmed into him but it truly was none of her concern.
Her main concern was how to help them achieve their aim but even that seemed to be under their control so all she could do was smile.
"Finally something interesting" she commented before leaving for her castle.
Like many of the governors before her, she didn't sleep as she stayed up all night simply exploring the castle. Like them, she found her castle to truly have all that she needed, boosting her comfort level to a whole new level.
...
You have a total of 240 unsummoned troops, would you like to do so now?
....
As system message appeared as she tried to enjoy the provided indoor pool. For weeks, she had used the small stream close by for bathing and all other necessary hygiene related things but now she had it all in her own home.
"What?" She asked confused
Seeing this, she immediately opened her status only to find a whole new list of summonable races. There were Undead, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes etc, she couldn't believe it
"Oh they are so fucking dead!" She said seeing the list
The average lord who survived the Event and all that came after should have around thirty or so troops left but being a Deus governor meant that she could access more than that.
Above all, each of these races were of the S-rank and above. With such a massive advantage, there was no way the Human Alliance was winning the war against the Deus Kingdom.
....
Meanwhile elsewhere, a man could be seen walking or more accurately, moving through the forest with more agility than a monkey and at speeds that should be impossible for a human.
Stopping on a branch of a rather tall tree, the man stood as he brought out a pair of binoculars allowing him to see further down.
Through the binoculars, he could see a large village... Rather a town. From what he could see, the town was filled by one race alone.
It was an Elven-type race, they possessed the standard long ears and nature-like aura to them that he could feel even just by looking at them but rather than the Elven unique greenish skin, this group possessed blood red skin.
"Seriously Blood Elves, it's like the world is playing Pokemon with the Elves" the man commented under his breathe
"What did you find?" The man suddenly said as he put down the binoculars and turned to his right
There, a young man could be seen standing however unlike the man, the newcomer towered over him and reached heights above the legendary seven feet.
"It seems to be a Lord's territory, there are no children in or out of the territory and the castle in the center matches the description you gave" the being said
"Another lord who refuses to submit to the king then... Destroy it" the man said as his once cheerful expression twisted into one of anger and pure hatred.
"As you wish" the man said before vanishing from sight
