Chapter 53 3

He was once standing inside an empty room, now he was inside a well-furnished hall with many well-dressed people who could be seen socializing with each other. He couldn't believe that while people…. thousands of people were out there getting slaughtered, these people were here just relaxing in castles and socializing without stress.

"Are you one of the new governors?" one of the lords there asked

"Yes" Makoto answered somewhat nervously, he didn't know why but he just felt weaker compared to the people in the hall

"Ah... then welcome, join us, have a drink and don't worry none of it is real so you don't get intoxicated but you can taste it so it kind of helps" The woman explained as she handed a glass of wine to him

"Thank you"

"No worries, its free anyway but if I may, have you checked their database to see if any of your relatives or family members have surrendered?" The woman asked

"Yes, my daughter is nowhere to be found but she is a grown woman so she should be able to handle herself pretty well" Makoto replied

"Well, we are not alone, there's only like two people that have found their relative in this room and they're distant cousins"

"Well, that's encouraging"

"Don't worry, there is a high chance that it will start to change soon though, Lord [Kingsley] said he plans to conquer the entire region right so by next week, a lot of people would start joining us" the woman explained

"Speaking of Lord [Kingsley] have any of you actually heard from him or seen him"

"Well, I have met a hologram of him though I don't know if that was actually him or not considering his abilities that make him seem invincible… did you know that he wiped out the entire army of monsters attacking my territory with just a single wave… a single wave, how do you even fight against that?" the woman complained in clear frustration

Seeing the woman's reaction, Makoto felt more relaxed as he realized that these people were just like him. They were naturally grateful at the fact that Kingsley had saved them and even given them all they had now but like every human in the world would be, they were frustrated at the fact that someone out there outclassed them in every way possible.

"Then I guess the same thing happened to me because I was so close to death's door then I found myself in this massive castle"

…....….

With that Makoto spent his time chatting with the woman as she introduced him to the other Governors under Kingsley. Makoto spent hours getting to know as many other governors as possible after all what better and faster way to find his daughter than to support the already powerful lord above him. He planned to play his role as governor as well as possible to support Kingsley in any way he could just so he could meet his daughter again.

12:00 AM

The Following day

It was finally midnight and finally time for the second wave. Kingsley was as ready for it as he could be. He didn't know what would come with the second wave after all his first wave was filled with way more monsters than what he saw in that of the others, he had helped. Viktor had already reported that he could feel the presence of the monsters waiting in the forest for the system to initiate the attack.

Kingsley couldn't feel their presence because they were outside his range of influence but it didn't matter since unlike before, the main wall was shifted into the territory and positioned to allow him affect the battlefield as he wishes.

"Do you think, there are any more goblins in the wave this time?" Kingsley asked the Demon Emperor

"According to what you explained my lord, then it is highly possible but it would be hobgoblins and higher tier goblins" Viktor said accessing the strength of the enemy as he spoke

"Then just get ready to welcome more members to our territory" Kingsley said with a smile

In all honesty, he had no idea how many people were actually in his territory since he is only informed when in their thousands meaning that the system only feeds him such information in intervals of thousands so when his population reached 2000, the system fed him said information but the next time he got an such information again was when his population reached 3000 members. Now he had 5000+ demon goblin on his territory but for his plans, they clearly weren't enough and since the system hadn't yet stopped him from recruiting yet, he had no plans to stop.

"Mr Lord, the girl is on her way here" Hestia informed as she appeared in the air beside Kingsley

"Let her, maybe seeing Orcs getting slaughtered would help her get over her trauma"

"As you wish, what about her guards or soldiers?"

"Put them in uniforms and give them a bow and a blade, sometimes the best way to get over a traumatic experience is venting"

"I shall inform them of your decision" Hestia said as she disappeared

============

Congratulations to all Lords who survived the First wave, please be informed that the next wave begins in the next 1 minute

….....

Wave II of the Beast Tide Event begins in 3…..2…..1

=============

Hearing the System's announcement, Kingsley gave a nod as Viktor disappeared from the wall and appeared at the forefront of the battlefield. Just like he had done in the first wave, Kingsley spread out his item's enforced his item's skill on all within the area, forcing every living being down to its knees but because of his experience from the day before, Kingsley could now exempt his men on the first try.

Doing so however didn't mean that the newly evolved Demon goblins weren't shocked at the amount of power a single being could exhibit with just a single thought. With Kingsley, holding everyone in place, Viktor worked his magic calling all goblins and goblin type creatures to his side and unsurprisingly, Kingsley saw an army matching out of the forest on his request.
