World Domination System

Chapter 149 Decision 1



After setting up the teleportation detection formations, the team of 50 soldiers and the three commanders proceeded inward towards the location where the mine had been found.

The other 50 were in a remote location quite a distance away from the site, ready to teleport forward to give backup if things turned sour.

Seeing the image in the panel, Daneel observed that it seemed untouched for the most part except for a few signs that indicated that people had passed through recently.

As was characteristic of places like these which hadn't been claimed by any Kingdom, the wildlife wasn't afraid of the humans. Choosing to look on from the treetops while the team trudged onwards, they tried to figure out just what this new species was.

Daneel noticed that in fact, many animals were similar to the ones back on earth. A small silver animal with a tuft of black hair on its head looked exactly like a squirrel, whereas a rabbit-like creature could also be seen munching away at the foliage on the ground.

While he waited for the team to reach their location, Daneel continued on his line of thought before he had been interrupted by Kellor to call the emergency meeting.

He had been considering his options to obtain wealth so that he could accelerate his training to the godlike speed that had been mentioned by the system.

With a jolt, he realized that he had forgotten about the asset that he had obtained soon after coming to this world.

"System, what about the Natural Energized Training Chamber? What would the effect be if I trained inside that?"

When Daneel had placed the chamber near the ultra high grade energy source that had been detected by the system underneath the Palace, he had been told by the system that he needed to absorb a Ker Gem if he wanted to know how effective the energy condensed by the immensely valuable treasure would be.

[Replying to host, with the current location of the Chamber, energy equivalent to 1 Ker Gem will be produced every 100 days. If the Chamber moves closer to the signal of the Ultra High Grade Energy Source, 1 Ker Gem can be produced every 10 days.]

Often, Daneel had wondered at the reason behind exactly why the system had called the Natural Energized Training Chamber a 'high-tier treasure'. Along his journey, he had been exposed to multiple trinkets and items which could be called 'treasures', but the system hadn't called them so. Even the incredible one-time use trinkets which could change the course of a battle were merely that: trinkets.

Now, hearing this, Daneel understood that he had definitely underestimated the importance of this asset that he had found by luck or fate under his old home.

Again wondering just how that old man who had advised his father to make his home above the location of the Chamber knew about this information, Daneel smiled to himself knowing that he was already progressing on the plan to become maybe the youngest Warrior Mage or Fighter ever in the continent of Angaria.

1 Ker Gem every 100 days was already a truly amazing profit without putting any investment.

Of course, although he wished that he could move it closer, he had no idea how to.

Yet, there was one possibility that he had thought of: the Empire Spirit.

Could the spirit be holding information regarding the formation which blocked him from reaching the source of energy of the mystical Dragon Heart formation?

For some reason, Daneel's instincts told him that it was so.

Satisfaction level!

Right now, it was the one thing he had to tackle that would give him numerous benefits if done properly.

While his thoughts dwelled again towards the major essential inventions and concepts on Earth which led to its rapid development, Daneel noticed that his soldiers had just come upon a spot where numerous people were gathered.

In a large clearing where the trees looked like they had recently been cut down, there stood 3 groups all facing in a certain direction.

Daneel recognized one of them-the shock troops of the Black Raven Kingdom.

Comprised entirely of men wearing black clothes with Black Ravens perched on their shoulders, they stood neatly arranged in lines of 5.

Counting, he saw that there were 70 of them.

The other human troops which were surely from the Axelor Kingdom were the largest force here, with over 100 people arranged circularly in what appeared to be a formation.

Yet, Daneel noticed that not all of them were elites, judging from the lower quality armor they were wearing.

As for the ones from Eldinor, 80 Elves milled around in a group while idly chatting amongst themselves.

Compared to the strict discipline of the other three forces, the Elves seemed out of place; it was almost as if they had come to a picnic.

All of them were also dressed in varying clothes, unlike the other soldiers who wore immaculate uniforms.

After calling for a halt, the three commanders moved forward to join a small group of 7 people who stood in the front.

As the voices from this group floated through the trinket, Daneel saw that 6 of them were actually arguing with an Elf.

"So what if you bought the information? This is unclaimed land, and the resources will go to whoever is the strongest."

This was the line uttered by the man from the Axelorian army who had burned with rage when Aran threw a jibe regarding his country's previous actions.

Yet, just as Aran opened his mouth to join in the discussion, all 10 individuals who had gathered became silent as they received a transmission from the soldiers who had been placed in charge of maintaining the teleportation detection formations.

"My Lord, it seems that another force has arrived at the location.", said Kellor, making Daneel nod while he wondered just who it was.

Without a word, 4 people from this group which was completely comprised of individuals at the Commander level detached themselves and teleported towards the location where the signal had gone off.

Daneel had given the commanders three communication 'eyes', hence he could see both the location that the troops had gathered at and the area where Cassandra had just teleported to.

It was a little distance away from where the detection formation had picked up intruders, making it so that the arriving commanders would not need to worry about stepping into an ambush.

Indeed, just as it had been done to them, it was now their opportunity to scout out the strength of the force that had arrived.

Walking quickly, Cassandra soon arrived at a spot where a group were standing and calmly waiting as if they had expected that this would happen.

20 Giants standing at least 15 foot tall stood in two rows of 10, while 3 men and 2 women stood in front of them with arms folded.

All of the giants were dressed in the same manner; they wore green armor which covered them from head to toe. In fact, they reminded Daneel of the steel suits of armors which knights used to wear back on Earth.

In their hands, the giants held enormous maces which all had sharp thorns sticking out near the top.

No matter how much he tried, Daneel couldn't match the image of the jolly envoy, Bos who had come to Lanthanor with these ferocious monstrosities that he saw in the panel.

The 5 in front wore green casual clothes, and they had easy smiles on their faces while gazing at the ones who were arriving.

Again, it was the Elf who spoke first.

"Arafellians, you are too late. Leave now, or we will have no choice but to chase you away. I think that I speak for everyone here when I say that 4 Kingdoms will ally to fight if needed?"

Hearing these words, Daneel was momentarily startled.

Ally to chase them away? Wasn't Arafell their ally?

"My Lord, it is your decision. Either we honor our ties as allies and risk having the other three ally against us to chase us away, or we put it aside and chase them away so that we will have a higher chance of obtaining the resources."

In the situation room, the King of Lanthanor found himself staring at Kellor as he asked him to make a decision in an instant which could have far-reaching consequences that he couldn't even think about.

In fact, it was all so sudden that Daneel had actually gone blank for a second.

Honor the steadfast support of Arafell and risk being chased away? Or focus on the benefits?

As he scrambled to make a decision, the atmosphere at Cassandra's location turned more and more tense by the second.
