CHAPTER 14  

CHAPTER 14

Roger ran towards the main army of 30,000 soldiers. The soldiers took a step back seeing his ferocious face. The knights could tell that this man saw them as they were. Pure men to be slaughtered. The knight gritted his teeth and shouted and rode on their horse. The soldiers could only fight as they were mixed with the permanent soldiers and would be killed if they escaped. Roger looked at them and sped up of type 1. He kept throwing the spears that he had already thrown and taken inside his space. The fast spear kept hitting the knights as he had targeted them and they kept dying. Roger thought about the possibility that they might escape and decided to surround them.

Roger ran straight to the back by killing all the soldiers in a line. He kept rotating the meteor hammer by the chains and kept running straight. He stood at the other side and waited for the soldiers. He would be stopping the soldiers and leave the slaughtering to his army. The enemies kept dying and he just smiled at it. He thought about a wonderful idea of storing the blood and meat of these humans as they might be useful. If he goes to a magical world and needs some human body parts for experimentation, the slaves might be costly. He started collecting all the dead ones and their bodies. He decided to take the bodies in secret.

Roger looked at the soldiers who tried to run away and kept throwing the wooden spears. He had more than a million spears and did not care much about losing some. All the ones who tried to run away died and all the ones who came to him died. He did not care much about the wails and accusations of the enemies and let them die.

Roger looked at the soldiers and found they were tired. They had become much more confident as they could hardly be killed. If they had fought alone there might have been a method of defeating them but when they were in an army formation, they can never lose. Roger laughed out loud and said to his soldiers who stood before him. They were still in formation as they were not tired, "You all are worthy of being called my soldiers. Remember the feeling over life and death. Remember the feeling of invincibility. If you do not dare to have the arrogance of being a citizen under me, you are not worthy of being a citizen under men." The soldiers kept shouting his name together as they were trained to do so. Roger took a crimson crown and all the soldiers in front of him were silent. Some were scared and some were excited.

Roger looked at the crown and wore it naturally. He smiled at the soldiers and said, "I shall be named King Roger Speed-son Asura, the priest of the innate concept chaos god of speed, the king of Asura-raj."

All the soldiers kept shouting his name. Roger said, "Out kingdom shall be called Asura-raj and all the people of my kingdom shall be called Asuras. I hope you all keep the name of Asura known to the world." He might be the priest of the god of speed but he liked the creed of killing. He looked at them and laughed out loud. He said, "All the peasant soldiers will be given a gold coin, all the permanent soldier shall be given 5 gold coin and all the knights shall be given thrice as much as the soldiers under them."

The soldiers cheered now as they were really happy. Roger took out a horse out of his space and sat on it. Roger drove straight and the soldiers moved to the side. The soldiers followed him as he drove to the main army of the kingdom of Merces. Roger took a sword and pointed at them and said, "Surrender or die".

Many of the soldiers bowed down as they were scared. The knights and permanent soldiers looked at their lords. The lords started kneeling down one by one and all the men under them bowed down too. Roger saw that some lords and knights did not bow down. Roger said nonchalantly, "I will slaughter all the members of your family to the last man, women and child. You better surrender now or be ready to be my enemy."

Many more nobles bowed down but the ones under Commander Griffin did not. Roger looked at Griffin in anger. He looked at him and asked, "Why are you standing?"

Duke Griffin said, "We have always stood with our king."

Roger said, "How do you want to die? Do you want to die now and have me kill your family and men by going to your territory or should I let you leave and be ready with an army. I do not know which one to choose. If you are courageous enough to summon an army, I can easily clean up all those who may stand against me. Many would think that my feats are nothing more than a tale and they will come to me to die. But I doubt your chivalry soldier. What if you are nothing more than a rat who would run away in fear or a snake who would hide in the dark to bit my people. What do you have to say Griffin."

The rising anger at being questioned at the very creed of life he had practised to the extreme was not something that could be held back by the fear of death. Griffin spoke out in anger, "I am Duke Griffin, the strongest and the mightiest general of Rhae continent."

Roger scoffed and said, "Your kingdom will be destroyed soon and your title of duke is worthless here and in the future. There is not one mightier than me in warfare here. What do you have that make you stand tall in front of me? Your pathetic army is nothing in front of me alone and I can kill you all. Your pathetic subjects are useless as they are worthless in front of my gold and resources. What do you really have. I can train more scholars to take over the kingdom and create an absolute centralized system without you nobles. If I am willing, I can speed them up and train knights and scholars in batches. What the fuck do you really have? You have nothing. This is the last chance as I will be conquering Rhae and the whole world and would like a proper general."

The commander could only say, "What about my oath? Do you expect my oath to be broken?"

Roger wanted such people and would kill them to eliminate trouble if they are not with him. He decided to take the chance as if he was ready to fight for him, it would be better. He would be following the method of roman senate and would be creating a centralized government. The nobles would be asked to stay in the capital and only the rich and the strong would be able to stay there. They would be allowed to have territories, but their families would have to stay at the capital. Roger looked at him and said, "If I go and kill the king and slaughter the whole royal family, will you have no problems for your heart."

Duke Griffin said, "I will have to fight for revenge."

Roger asked, "It was your forefather who made the oath and not you. If you want to follow your path that is your freedom and I will give you a proper death and burial. Your family would indeed be slaughtered, but I will let them be killed peacefully in their sleep. If you want to come under me, you can. I do not care how many are under me but all I care is that, any human being alive should be under me. You can either live as the lord under me the Asura King or shall dies as Duke Griffin, the last of his name. Either way you will die sooner or later. Either way one day your family will fall down and die. Either way, you will once become a dust in history and be forgotten."

Duke Griffin laughed and asked, "Then why should I follow you?"

King Roger said, "Because you are you. You are not the duke Griffin in the eyes of your king, or in my eyes or in the eyes of the commoners. You are the duke Griffin seen by your own eyes and felt by your own self. History has nothing to do with us as we will not be there to experience it. The reason I follow the order is because I am a rational being no matter what and I do not like a disordered world. It has nothing to do with anything like rules or honour. Listen Griffin. This is the only reason you should follow me. If you do not follow me, you will die now and your family will be exterminated. If you follow me, you will be one of the generals who helped me conquer this world, your family will have honour to rise to the top. You will see a much wider world."

Duke Griffin said, "I am not a coward."

Roger got tired of this self-righteous man and took the spear and threw it and killed him. The knights around him died due to the impact and the wood that exploded on impact. He looked at everyone and said, "All the knights and soldiers return to your tents and enjoy the day. All the nobles come to the main tent."

Roger looked at the soldiers who followed him and said, "You will be able to use type 2 speed of ten times the speed of all soldiers, 5 times for the peasants, 25 times for the knights and 50 times for henry, the lord commander of the army. You will be able to activate the mode with a thought and in this mode you will be in perfect state physically and mentally. You will age normally but even when you are old, you will be able to be in perfect state when in mode. You can try to become a knight as possible and all the ones who become a knight or become a scholar and all of you will be given enough renumeration, no matter what."

Roger turned and moved to the tent. He did not want his soldiers to return to a sissy state after they return and he did not want them to lose their enthusiasm. He took the gold and gave it to henry to distribute it. He thought about creating an spy organization to get more news. He had only let their bodies speed up and the speeding up of growth of items they came in contact was not possible. They would not be able to take advantage of it. He should be ablet to control them. Either way it never mattered. He will be the king of the world even if it was only possible if he was the only man on this world.
