Chapter 40 XL

Waking up back in his territory, the clone sent it's memories to the main body then vanished. It didn't need to continue existing. All of Kingsley's clones showed signs of clearly being conscious but still chose death rather than finding their own path in life.

Kingsley naturally didn't know why his clones did so but he understood them, he wouldn't want to living differently when he knew that he could let someone else suffer all the pain, hardwork and he would just reap the benefits after being summond once or twice to complete some minor job.

This would also be made worse if he was a temporary clone, he wouldn't fight for independence because he knows that eventually the energy sustaining him would die out and he was sure that for temporary clones, that energy wasn't as much as one would think.

Recieving the clone's memories, Kingsley couldn't help but feel bad for the new governor. He had never experienced anything that would bring him the level of pain, the man had felt so he wouldn't say, he understood his pain. He was just amongst the lucky ones to recieve better gifts from the system.

"Focus" Kingsley said slapping his cheek as he turned his attention back to the first wall.

Sending his consciousness forward to the first wall, Kingsley was surprised at what he saw. Due to the intensity of the wave, Kingsley didn't truly think they had an end to them but now, all he saw were large mountains of corpses and rivers of blood running through them and it has only been like an hour since the event started

His men had completely annihilated the monsters in the first wave and were now sorting them out according to the ones that were edible. This came as a shock to Kingsley not because he didn't know how powerful his men were instead it was because he had thought that due to his clone using his abilities to help the new governor, the system would maybe add more monsters to his current wave or even possibly increase the strength of the next wave.

Turning his attention away from the battlefield, Kingsley turned to Hestia who was standing on the wall since she couldn't go beyond it. Hestia could be seen giving orders to the maids and other servants of the castle as they sorted out and drained the edible ones of their blood.

Viktor on the other hand, was standing a few meters away from the wall along with the five(5) generals, looking directly into the forest as though he was in a trance. Seeing his area clear of any blood, Kingsley teleported to his side. He could now go beyond the first wall which was once his limit due to his recent increase in level.

Appearing beside Viktor to see what he was looking at after all amongst the people that existed here, himself included, Viktor was the one with the best senses and if he spent this much time looking out into space then something was wrong. As soon as he appeared, Viktor along with the Generals all got down to their knees

"Your Majesty/my Lord!" They all echoed in a quite and respectful manner but from their tone, one could feel the power they held.

...

Name: Viktor

Level: 12

Health: 12,000

Physique: 11,999

Spirit: 11,999

...

Looking at Viktor's stats, Kingsley couldn't help but just wonder exactly how powerful he would be if one let him run free. Viktor hadn't done much during the battle hence why he only gained one level but the same couldnt be said for the five(5) generals who had all gained 9 extra levels.

...

Name: Tripe

Level: 10

Health: 10,000

Physique: 1,499

Spirit: 1

....

Looking at the status of the five that were extremely similar, Kingsley could tell that they have worked hard but unfortunately he didn't appear there for them so he turned his attention to Viktor.

"Raise you heads, Viktor, what were you looking at, did you sense more or what?" Kingsley asked going straight to the point.

"No, my Lord, this is all of the monsters that gathered against us today but if I may?"

"Go on" Kingsley urged on

"I would like your permission to send some of the generals and their troops to take care of both the Orc settlement and then capture the goblin village, now that they are still in the mood for blood"

"That does make sense….. I'll allow it" Kingsley said after a brief second of thinking.

Normally it wouldn't make sense to send out one's protection when the war isn't over but from the system's behaviour, Kingsley could somewhat tell that the next wave wasn't coming anytime today. There was the fact that each wave starts at the same time for everyone and Kingsley doubted that many people had cleared the first wave.

Apart from that, if they capture the goblin village and clear the orcs then he would not only have more manpower but he would have also cleared future threats... well as much of a threat an orc can present to him.

"We will ensure to present good news" Viktor said as he bowed with a weird smile on his lips.

Seeing the grin, Kingsley refused to think about it after all only God knew what was going through this Demon Emperor's mind. He didn't even want to ask or know how everything would happen there, all he knew was that by tomorrow he would have more men who would be ready to fight.

"Get ready, you leave in twenty minutes!" Viktor commanded with a clear oppressive aura around him but somehow this aura could still be interpreted as him being happy.
