2024-10-29 19:42:56This is a serious dilemma,
I knew the other Lord's would be dissatisfied with my appointment but them declaring war was out of my calculations,I have been too affected by the norms of earth that I forgot this is not earth,War is a normal occurrence here,Survival of the fittest is what reigns. If I had to best describe this world I would call it a jungle where physical prowess reigns the highest. When I was summoned it was in a pool of blood and I had decayed bodies close to me. That is what the norms of this world is. "Damn it"!!!! In a rush to take over Edevin I forgot about what the other Lord's are capable of. Sending Acestes to wipe them out would be declaring to the world that I am not normal and I do not want that,All the cards are not ready yet, Going against my target in my current state would lead to a bad ending for me. [Everett is there any lord that would be willing to form an alliance with me] [ none that I can think of my lord, your background will most definitely not allow. The nobles consider themselves above all else so a peasant becoming a lord is a taboo of the highest degree, any lord that seeks out your hand will surely be dealt with severely as well] "Damn this system"!!!! Damn their way of thinking"!!!"Damn it"!!!!! What kind of thinking pattern is that and that shit head of an Emperor does nothing about it"sigh" Brooding over it will solve nothing nor will it get me anywhere. [what is the condition of our military, do we have a chance of winning] [ sadly my lord the answer is no, currently we have about ten thousand foot soldiers and zero knights while the enemy is an alliance based army consisting of three Count's] [Dian Vosloo of house Vosloo] [Ruan Fortuin of house Fortuin] [Adem Smuts of house Smuts]. [and their total armies number fifty thousand with one thousand knight] "Hey"!!!! Is that not over kill? Is it not too much force for a city without a knight? Do they really hate the idea of me being a lord that much? No I am sure this is also because of their hatred for Zarek,Still how much resources are they going to waste trying to cater for a whole fifty thousand, and I have just ten thousand foot soldiers "ah"This is really disturbing,If only I could make use of Acestes ability or Abellone then I would not be this worried.[Everett is there an adventuerers guild in this city] [yes there is but the guild is known to not interfere in political wars and even if they did, I do not think they would be willing to help us] [let me guess Zarek's fault right] [ yes the former lord imposed heavy tax on the guild and even went further to limiting their authority in the city] This is entirely my faultWhy did I have to choose a scum like Zarek? I was blinded by his usefulness to my cause that I unknowingly ignored the repercussions of it. Now it is all coming back to bite me. Should I just abandon this city and look for another one? No it is far too late for that now, The only thing I can do is write the wrong's that has been done starting with the one closest to me. [Everett lead me to the guilds building, I am going to have a little chat with the guild master] Ricus the current guild master of the Edevin's branch adventurers guild. He retired at the age of ffifty two, his facial appearance is rugged with a muscular body.He made a name for himself during his time as an adventuerer with a B+ rank and he is what you would call a veteran. During his time in Edevin he has not once known peace,Every single day is a war for him due to his ill relationship with the city's lord,When he heard the news about there being a different lord he was delighted by it but also very cautious, that is the kind of man he is.Ricus is currently in his office reviewing the mission requests that will be pasted on the quest board for the adventurers when one of the guild receptionist came in[oh Lola if you are here for the quest form I am not done yet] [no I am not here for that, you have a guest] [a guest who can it be to make you come up here yourself] [it is the new lord] "!!!!!?" [what is someone of such status doing in a place like this] [I do not know but I do not think it is a good idea to keep him waiting too long] [ alright escort him in] A boy with white hair accompanied by a man. Ricus who is unaware that Ophel is the lord extends his greetings to Everett[ I welcome you to my humble establishment but might I ask why you brought a child with you] The atmosphere in the room went numb,Everett who tried his very best to hold back his laughter make's a snicker while Ophel went on to sit at the chair facing the guild master.Ricus who was coufused by the silence that came from his greeting finally understood the situation when he saw Ophel sit in front of him while Everett stood beside him,Ricus wanted to apologize for the misunderstanding but was stopped by Ophel[it's okay considering my appearance it's a normal reaction, if it is okay with you I would like to get straight to business] Ricus was surprised at his unchanging attitude, He his like a lifeless doll wearing one facial expression, but even in his gloomy like face his sublime beauty could still be seen[ummm yes yes you can] [alright I am sure you are aware of what is currently going on which is why I would like to request your assistance concerning the matter, and yes I know the guild does not involve itself in political affairs that is why I am not requesting the guild, this is a personal request] [I understand where you are coming from but from my point of view I see no reason why I would listen to your request, regardless of who ends up becoming this city's lord nothing is going to change so why should I still help, if you can fully convince me, give me valid reasons as to why I should help or why I should tell my Comrades in arm to stick their head for a city that abandoned them and treated them with contempt] [well I know fully well what the relationship between you and the former lord is like, I also know that is why you do not trust any noble but I am different because I am not a noble, I am a commoner, I know how commoners think, what they need, I have lived the commoners way of life (in my past life that is but he does not need to know that) with me as the lord this city can be better, I will not abandon the people like the Lord's do but rather i will embrace and grow through them] Ricus was short of words, his mind blown away by Ophel's charismatic figure that he had no choice but to accept.

[when do you all propose we attack] [ is there even a need to discuss such things, as we all know the city right now is defenseless against our numbers] [Zareks neglection towards the army has made most of them quit and there is no knights, I am sure the people in the city will end up opening the city gates for us as anyone with good view can see this is a hopeless fight] [ alright then at daybreak tomorrow we will take over Edevin] [so how do we split the spoils] [we will settle that after we take it over].

The Lord's army began banging their weapons on the ground,A form of intimidation tactics to make the enemy understand the threat they pose and the invigority running through their veins. Sure enough the defense guards were all shrieking in fear,With low wages and worn out weapons,Honestly they have no reason to stand on the front lines to defend the city but they still upheld their title as warriors sworn to lay their lives for the people, That alone is commendable of them. One of the Lord's army came out and stood at the front of the army with a warhorn,He blew into the warhorn once and the archers came out in a vertical line of three,They strung their bows with fire lit in the arrow heads and shot it at the guards standing at the fortress walls.

SUMMON OF CHAOS End Of The Feudal War
I watched as Ignatius (Fire Elemental King) wreck havoc in what was supposed to be a battle,His expression has anger written all over it probably because I forced him into a slave contract.It is really not my fault,All I did was summon an Elemental,I had no idea that a Fire Elemental King,the strongest of all fire elementals was going to be the one to answer my call. He could have just refused and not heed to my summonbut apparently Elemental spirits are unable to manipulate a summoning ritual,It is only until after being summoned that said Elemental can refuse forming a contract with the summoner. Of course the summoner can make use of force to get the Elemental to do its bidding like I did but that would mean having a higher level of power than the Summoned Elemental spirit which is very rare,I mean why would I want to summon something weaker than me in the first place, If it was not due to my circumstances I would not have even tried summoning.I think I might be overesti

Varn sure looks like he is having a lot of fun,Varn made a distance between them, and he started releasing waves of punches that took form with the air pressure made from just him swinging his fist forward. The undead boss is no pushover either as he dodges the waves of punch and slashes the ones he could not dodge with his great sword.With a blink of an eye, the Dungeon boss covered the distance between he and Varn, The Dungeon boss attempted to cut off Varn's head with his great sword, but Varn evaded the sword by bending his body below, Varn steeled his feet in the ground, and sprung his head towards the Dungeon boss, giving him a headbutt that had the Dungeon boss losing his balance, The Dungeon boss did not let losing his balance disturb his thoughts as he took further actions to swing his sword downwards at Varn who eventually moved further back to avoid getting hit."you fool, I am undead, do you think I will feel pain over something this little" "I am actually glad you

Gostac Alliance Briefing 2
The plan was for me to infiltrate the Human continent by myself, That plan however was scraped after seeing the workload that awaited me from uniting the four race.If I wasn't going to be available for that, why not pick someone else for the job.Thankfully, there were still humans living in the colony we could use to infiltrate the Human continent.I believe it was the adventurer group that escorted me on my journey to the Elven kingdom.What were their names again.....hmm....Right..., I remember. Caren Krige the white mage, Louis Riley the Warrior, Dexter Holcomb the Tank.Transporting them to the Human continent was not as hard as i thought It would be, I had to first fly over to the continent with my speed and when I got there, I opened up a gate that teleported them there.Now, not only me but even Achlys can go there whenever he wants, but I forbid Achlys from doing so. We still don't know how far the eyes of the Goddess can see, what I am sure of is that she has a tight re
