Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 150 Preparation for battle

However, despite their thoughts, she felt that this straight up war may turn out to be even worse for them. If they couldn\'t defeat him now that they were even allowed underhanded means, how did they plan to do it on the battlefield, where it would be impossible?

"Are you trying to scare us or what?... The system clearly said that only one\'s own given troops are accepted on the system battlefield; Lord [Kingsley] doesn\'t have any given troops" Someone shouted

"That is indeed true," another person replied

With their statements, the once-silent hall became noisy again. Alina simply looked into the crowd and smiled. She couldn\'t blame them; this was an impromptu decision, and many of them were led by what others said.

They just do what they are told without thinking much about it. Ordinary common sense should have told them that the system wouldn\'t just refuse to grant a single lord out of the millions available, troops.

It wasn\'t as though the troops ran out or anything after all, just in the alliance alone, there about sixteen lords with the same phoenixes or similar type of troops she had. Common sense should have told them that even in such a situation, the system refuses to give them any advantage. It simply meant that the other party was strong beyond measure. 

"I became Alliance Leader because my duty is simply to try as much as i can to preserve the human race, so i would advise to all who aren\'t interested in this war to quietly leave the alliance now" Alina said in a quiet tone but somehow her voice resounded throughout the entire hall.

"What does that mean?"

Hearing what she said, the once noisy hall quietened down again, it had long since been clear to all of them that this so-called Alliance leader wasn\'t in support of their cause. Though it was a good cause, she didn\'t seem to support of it

"It simply means that i will do my best to save as many of you as i can so if you aren\'t interested in this war, please indicate and leave now"

"Hey, you speak as though you know something we don\'t." A slightly elderly voice was heard as everyone turned to the source

It was an old man whose age was hard to determine, but they could all tell that he was definitely beyond sixty. His presence in the hall was weird enough, but considering how quickly certain people were able to grasp certain situations, they all closed their mouths and minded their business.

"I know nothing but do you think that when you declare war against a kingdom or now an empire, that you get to fight its emperor alone, He has thousands of other lords under him who all seem to have been enhanced beyond measure." Alina shouted, trying her best to input some sense into these people

"Not only that, do you think that a system that can not only bring us from Earth to this world, give us abilities, and troops that we have only seen in fiction would just single one of us out and refuse to give him or her any help?"

"Are you trying to say that the system is afraid of him?" The man asked 

"Do i look like the mouthpiece of the system? I don\'t know however i can say for sure that it thinks that he doesn\'t need it… Now if the system can think that and he has proven that he doesn\'t need the system to survive all the events so far, do you think you and your mere troops would dent him?"

Her words were heard by all as the quiet hall became dead silent. As she had said, they were doing all they had being doing on pure impulse. Before the war, nobody, she included bothered to really think about it.

None of them thought that the so-called anomaly would affect them in any way, but they were wrong. Now that he was clearly after them, none of them had the time to think things through, and those who did were probably affected by those around them.

"Does that mean we have no chance against him?" The man asked with a determined look in his eyes

"I don\'t know; if we can\'t beat him on the battlefield, then there is no hope."

"Then i propose that we bring our strongest lords, who also have strong troops, to battle against them... even if we can\'t take down their leader, we can at least reduce their strength badly" a familiar voice spoke as all looked back to see the young Asian man who was dressed in full armor.

"I have no problems with that; we may have no chance against them, but I have no plans to bow to anyone," Alina replied as she stood up and a silver aura burst out of her body.

Hearing her, the entire hall became noisy again as they all gathered their courage; however, the announcements were still there. 

….

Lord [Ferdinand] has left the Human Alliance

Lord [Onuko] has left the Human Alliance

Lord [Terry] has left the human alliance...

…

Despite the discouraging number of lords who left the Alliance, they still immediately began preparation for war. Unlike the others who left, they didn\'t plan to bow down to the Deus army.

It wasn\'t about hate; rather, it was simply their pride. They were all strong individuals, some of them even having their own unnamed kingdoms or simply having the power to match the average one, so why should they bow down to another?

Meanwhile, Kingsley, the source of all their problems, could be seen \'frolicking\' through the fields. The Thrones followed behind him, with none speaking a single word.

"Okay, simply forcing my way through doesn\'t work." Kingsley noted as he walked away from the wall.
