XXXIX
Meanwhile Kingsley could be seen on top of the second wall with a sniper in hand. As for why he was holding it, it was simple, he wanted to test the system's words.
He had never actually tried to level up normally since he had just followed the system's words. He already tested if he could leave and he couldn't do so at all so he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to level up but still wanted to test it either way.
Boom!!
A loud explosive sound came from the unsuppressed sniper but thankfully he was wearing some noise cancellers that would help muffle the loud noise. Seeing that there was no effect event after killing what seemed to be an Orc General. Kingsley sighed and disintegrated the sniper as he sat up to continue waiting for the wave to be over.
....
Lord [Makoto] wants to surrender to you, do you accept?
[Yes] [No]
A system message appeared, startling Kingsley a bit. Looking at its contents, he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that the system would still allow the other lords to submit to him. It seemed as though the system truly didn't care what decisions the Lords took concerning their territories.
"Well then I accept"
Kingsley accepted without any more hesitation after all for someone to surrender to him at such a time, it meant that said person was in great danger so he immediately created a clone that would attend to the lord since he already knew that if this one came then more were surely on their way.
...
Congratulations to Lord [Kingsley] on being the first to reach level 10. Five(5) acres has been added to your territory
...
A system message said as he felt a rush of energy flow through his body. With the energy came a weird feeling that the reach of his abilities had increased. Looking at the new increase in amount of acres added, Kingsley could help but feel happy. The feeling naturally brought a smile to Kingsley's face as he immediately checked his stats.
...
Health: 1000 (+1000)
Physique: 310 (+1000)
Spirit: 337 (+1000)
....
Looking at his new stats, Kingsley was shocked as it didn't match with what was in his mind. Normally a total of 30 points gets added to his stats after each level up but now it seemed as though more was been added. In general, his stats were already off the roof due to his clothes but the addition of about 50 points was still a noticable increase
While Kingsley examined his status, his clone was busy attending to the Lord who was already saying his last prayer. The clone projected its consciousness straight into the newly gained territory to help the new governor but what he found were monsters everywhere.
He didn't know the exactly limits of the territory but he at least knew that he was at its center due to the damaged castle below him but still there were monsters everywhere. Looking at the situation, the clone simply prayed that he wasn't too late.
"Be gone" he said waving his hand as he disintergrated all the monsters in the areas his abilities could allow him which was the whole territory.
He naturally didn't need to say anything but did so anyway simply because he thought it made him cooler if he did so. With the monsters inside the territory gone, he immediately erected a wall around the territory that was similar to the one he had created for the other Governors under him.
With that taken care of, Kingsley or the clone finally turned its attention back to searching for the new governor. He hoped that the person wasn't dead since he didn't want his newly gained stats to regress. After 'thorough' search of the territory, Kingsley finally found him but it was in the location he least expected the man to be in. The castle.
With how many monsters, there were in the damaged castle at the time, Kingsley expected him to be hiding somewhere in the woods in his territory or inside some cave around here, assuming that the other lords unlike him could leave their territories instead he was in the castle which had absolutely no protection.
Taking a deep breath, Kingsley didn't even know whether to classify this new lord as an idiot or if this was simply a 'heat of the moment' type of thing. After all unlike the man, he has never being in a situation where he was so close to death and Kingsley assumed that at that point, most rational thoughts would fly out of the window.
The man looked to be of Asian…. Well Japanese to be exact from the name but since Kingsley had trouble pointing out who was who, he decided to shut up and just save the man. He looked to be around the ages 20-30 or probably more if he was of Chinese descent since its common knowledge that those people refuse to age normally.
Anyway, the man was lying on the floor behind his throne with his entire arm bitten off and some parts of his body bitten. Kingsley immediately injected him with the Aspirin and even prepared more just in case one wasn't enough but surprisingly or unsurprisingly, that one injection was enough as Kingsley saw the injuries on the man's body start to close at speed visible to the naked eye.
The missing arm slowly started to grow back and the large chunks of flesh that were missing from his body also started to regenerate and soon the man was good as new…. Well as new as a 25-ish man could be. The man was wearing a suit and could be recognized as one of the few lucky ones who were clothed when they were transferred.
Morphing the clothes into something more suited for combat and survival, Kingsley lifted him up using telekinesis then created a castle based on the outline of damaged one and placed the still unconscious man on a bed. After that, he created the standard set of equipment and weapons that he always gave his Governors and set them on a large table in the castle's courtyard.
He left behind detailed explanation on what to do then vanished. It wouldn't make sense to wait after all he had no idea when the man would wake up. Forcefully waking him may not be a good thing, he wasn't good at psychology and mind related matters but he at least knew that after experiencing such an intense event, the man deserves the rest so he let him be.
