I sat there on my throne in a much cleaner throne room.

Ever since those masons came, the castle has slowly taken on a better shape and look.

Well it’s still a fort but then again, that doesn’t matter.

The throne room which used to have rubble lying all over it now had none.

Except for the giant seat fashioned for Kaiser to my right.

His seat was behind my throne and to the right of it, barely a metre and a half between us.

I was on my throne with my back on one of the armrests and my feet dangling over the other, looking towards Kaiser.

MC: “Kaiser” I said dragging out his name more than I should which made him to look at me curiously.

Kaiser: “Yes my god?” he asked me the curiosity in his voice visible.

MC: “Lets discuss about our forces” I told him.

I was bored and I needed something to do, seeing as how I could not sit still for several hours.

I just didn’t have the patience to do such a thing.

I also couldn’t sleep for too many hours as my body forced itself awake after a certain point.

Kaiser simply sighed and looked at me, waiting for me to begin.

MC: “Let us start off with Ghum’bil and his forces” I told him.

Kaiser: “Well what about them my god? Oh” he paused, before grinning sheepishly “I forgot to tell you my god, but every day at minimum, dozens of orcs flock to your banner while some days that number reaches hundreds or thousands” I became incredibly happy at this news, I mean who wouldn’t be, but the good news didn’t end there. “Also, it’s not just orcs who join your forces; you have beast men, humans and even a few elves. But your forces are mainly composed of orcs and beast men. So if I had to divide your forces by race, it would be 6/10 orcs, 2/10 beast men, 1/10 humans and 1/10 others” he told me while beaming with pride.

We became silent for a moment as that knowledge sunk into me.

Looking at Kaiser I simply smiled while asking.

MC: “So how many soldiers does Ghum’bils ‘Horde of Damnation’ possess?” to which I was met with a large grin.

Kaiser: “At least 20,000 soldiers my god and that number probably grows daily” this made me quite happy .

MC: “But why are so many orcs and beast men flocking to my banner?” I asked him curious to the reason I had so many new followers. I mean it’s not like I was there to directly force them to submit to my rule.

Kaiser: “The reason for that is because while the humans, Elves and Dwarves have their own official religions, composed of gods that have been worshipped by that race for who knows how long, the orcs and beast men have never had a official god that governed over their race” when Kaiser said this I realized why I had so many followers. “But now they have you, a figure who is powerful beyond their imagination who has become their patron deity” and Kaiser once again beamed with pride.

I nodded to this knowledge as it made quite a lot of sense.

A lot of people in history have done the same thing as me, by introducing a god to people who have fallen on hard times or who are being oppressed, having the knowledge that a god is there to aid and support you and your race is welcomed with open arms.

I am also pretty sure that this had caused many wars as well, specifically religious wars.

I put that thought away, I mean what are the chances that one of these other religions would just up and declare war on me.

Kaiser: “Shall we discuss the Knights of Damnation and the To- City of Ayanna now?” he asked me.

I shook my head.

MC: “No Kaiser, we shall discuss my daughter Ayanna and how she called me ‘Daddy’” I said with pride.

Kaiser just laughed and looked at me with eyes that said ‘seriously?’ to which I nodded while grinnigng.

MC: “Jokes aside, she really did call me ‘Daddy’ but we are not really go-“ I was interrupted as the Doors to the throne room opened and one of the Knights came in.

I brought several of the knights with me to guard the castle and they were doing quite a good job of it, seeing as how they now manned the gates and regularly patrolled the surrounding area as well as hunting for food.

That aside, I looked at the guard and nodded to him to signal that it was alright for him to talk.

Knight: “My god, Knights from the town have brought a few ladies, I think they are priestesses, who said they wished to talk to you. Do I let them in?” he asked me with a large amount of curiosity in his voice.

I sighed and simply nodded.

MC: “Let them in, what’s the worse that could happen” and I felt a tinge of regret once I said those words.

Since those words were like the precursor to the so called ‘worse things’.

The Knight nodded and left immediately.

I looked at Kaiser and he smiled wryly.

Kaiser: “My god, shall I go and ask Ghum’bil to prepare his forces?” he asked me.

I gave him angry glare.

Did he have so little faith in my diplomacy skills?

I’ll show him how good I am with words.

I sat on my throne for several minutes while I waited before I finally saw these so called priestesses.

I laughed when I saw them since they looked like nuns with white clothing.

But they had no cross or any sorts of necklace or medallion; neither did they possess any rings on their fingers.

All in all, they only had white nun clothing on them and underneath it, they possessed nothing either.

Literally nothing.

Looking at their faces, they looked quite beautiful. No, not looked. They were quite beautiful but that didn’t matter to me that much since I had a throng of beauties who lived in my castle.

The one who stood in the middle had the name [Yuliara Smothoms].

Her last name was quite weird but I had no right to criticize her name seeing as how I didn’t even have one.

That aside these priestesses exuded an aura of incredible confidence.

I wonder what they came to say anyways.

Did they want peace or friendship between our religions?

Yuliara: “We come in the name of the Goddess of Light, Amiya to make peace with your religion” she said so cockiness in her voice. She was beginning to annoy me as she stood in the presence of a god yet she showed no respect to me. “As the Goddess if far above you in station she shall be the one to declare the terms and they are as follows” she cleared her throat and began to yell.

“Your Legion shall swear to uphold the laws of Amiya.

“Your Legion shall believe in and follow Amiya.

“Your Legion shall fight the enemies of Amiya.

“Your legion shall serve Amiya.

“Your legion shall convert to the light.

“You shall swear to uphold the laws of Amiya.

“You shall believe in and follow Amiya.

“You shall fight the enemies of Amiya.

“You shall serve Amiya.

“You shall convert to the light”

She said all of this in one breath and then she looked at me with haughtiness in her eyes, but she began to continue.

Yuliera: “Should you refuse, maybe the full of the Goddess of light ought to be brought down upon you and your savage horde, destroying you all” she then looked like she was superior to me.

Her cockiness and terms made me beyond angry but I kept myself under control.

MC: “Leave now or die” I told her while I looked her directly in the eyes.

This somehow sent her over the edge.

Yuliara: “YOU DARE THREATHEN A FOLLOWER AND DISCIPLE OF AMIYA! TRASH HOW DARE YOU! YOU ARE LUCKY AMIYA EVEN CONSIDERED LETTING YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC LEGION FOLLOW HER! HOW DARE YOU REJECT HER YOU F***ING TRAS-“ at this point she had already walked all the way up to me and then as she stood right before me she struck me in the face with as much might as she could muster.

At that moment even she seemed to have been regretting her choice.

I didn’t even flinch as I received the impact but her hand began to swell in pain.

Even though my face hurt I seemed to be able to put the pain away for now.

I looked at her with untold amounts of anger within my eyes, but then a pop up appeared before me.

[Body Mastery Learned -Pain 100%]

[Emotion Mastery Learned - Anger 10%]

I smiled as I gained a new a skill.

But my anger wasn’t gone and simply gaining a good skill wasn’t enough to forgive her.

I slowly got off my throne, which made the priestess back off.

I looked at her as she slowly began to move backwards but instead of slowly moving towards her I took a few fast strides and stood before her my hand of her throat, clutching with intense force and constricting her breathing.

Her eyes which just a few moment ago were full of pride and arrogance were now dyed with fear.

I smiled and then activated my titans voice and looked her deep in her eyes.

MC: “For your arrogance, I shall destroy your religion and force your goddess onto her knees before me and the cause of your religions downfall is ‘you’” I told her this while my voice sounded pure demonic.

She looked like she was about to faint whether it be from fear or guilt, it didn’t matter to me.

With that I threw her out of my hands and she landed on the ground after rolling a few times.

She looked bruised and battered after rolling on the ground a few times and her throat had begun to change colour.

I walked back towards my throne and sat down before looking at everyone in the room.

MC: “All of you are dismissed, begone” and with that, the several knights, masons, maids and my girls who were watching all immediately began to disperse.

I looked towards Kaiser and he nodded in understanding while grinning and moved to leave the room and prepare our forces.

One of the knights who were picking the priestess up from the ground began muttering loud enough for everyone to hear.

Knight: “Oh damn, we definitely gonna have a crusade on our hands” as he walked out with the priestess in tow.
