The Hand of God System
Chapter 15: Servers Increase, Plans of the Flemish Empire
Not long after fighting General Bermoth, Ryuuji used the transfer to return himself home quickly.
After arriving at his house, Ryuuji heard reports from the demihumans that they had time to fight some of the soldiers who came to them.
But they can handle it without problems, and there are no casualties among them.
Ryuuji also immediately told the demihumans that he had succeeded in fighting their General, and had their great camp destroyed.
It would not be long before the soldiers realized it and decided to retreat from the forest.
The demihumans who heard the news from Ryuuji cheered for their victory, and intended to throw a party.
However Ryuuji immediately rejected it and decided to take a rest immediately because he was tired.
The days change, and Ryuuji wakes up in the morning because he hears a noise outside his house, so Ryuuji decides to check on him.
But when Ryuuji just came out of his house to check..
"Please! let us be your service!!"
"Eh?"
In front of Ryuuji's house, there was a huge line of demihumans bowing their heads on the ground.
They looked like they wanted to plead with Ryuuji, but Ryuuji who just came out of his house did not understand the situation that was going on right now.
So Ryuuji suddenly looked around to understand something, and when he saw his practicing friend Rena, he decided to ask her.
"Rena!" Ryuuji.
Rena who heard Ryuuji's voice, immediately set her sights on him.
"ah! the master!" Rena immediately walked closer towards Ryuuji.
After getting close to him, Ryuuji immediately asked Rena.
"What the hell is going on here?" Ask Ryuuji.
"This umm..this is a group of demihuman masters."
"I know that, but what are they doing here? and why did they bow their heads?"
"As you heard earlier master, they intend to be your servant."
"May I know why?" Ask Ryuuji.
"They had already lost their home to the assault the soldiers had made yesterday, and when they heard that the master had defeated them, they decided to become the master's servant."
"Eh?"
Ryuuji was still confused by the situation.
"Wait a minute, how do they know that I beat them?
"I-it's...
As if to escape from Ryuuji, Rena was silent for a moment.
But he immediately told her a moment later.
"Yesterday when Master slept, we had a party to celebrate, and we invited some demihumans around to join, and when partying, some of us from time to time...
From Rena's words just now, Ryuuji immediately understood the reason why the demihumans could know that he was the one who defeated their General.
It was because of the demihumans in his place who told it to the other demihumans.
"So some of you told me about me defeating their General and destroying their great camp?"
"I-that's right..." Rena lowered her head because she felt guilty.
Ryuuji put his finger on his forehead as he felt dizzy at what he had just heard.
It was because he had to deal with the same thing when he saved the demihuman the first time.
But this time the scale and number was much larger than before.
Ryuuji sighed slightly after thinking that.
"Master, not Master! please take us!" Said one of the kneeling demihumans.
Ryuuji immediately turned his gaze towards the demihuman.
"You guys... decided to be my servant for thinking of me as your savior right?"
"That's right!"
"But let me tell you one thing, I can't seem to accept you guys."
"?! Why?!"
"That's because I don't want to restrain you, nor do I have the right to rule your lives as a servant, so I can't accept your request."
"S-about that..
"Therefore, I have a suggestion for you."
Ryuuji continued immediately.
"You can stay around here to live with the others, if you want to think of me as your master, that's fine as well."
"But, one thing you need to know is, don't feel that you are constrained by me. If one day you feel uncomfortable and want to separate, you can do it at any time. How's it?"
Just as before when he accepted the demihumans who subdued themselves to be his servants, Ryuuji did the same for this time.
It was because he did not want to take away their freedom, nor did he want them to feel constrained by it. So he made the advice as he had done.
Because for Ryuuji that's the best thing to do.
The demihumans who heard the suggestion from Ryuuji, immediately raised their heads to talk to each other.
And when they had finished discussing, one of those kneeling in the front row immediately replied Ryuuji.
"All right, we'll take it. But we will still assume that you are the Master of us, that will never change."
"Okay, but you guys already understand about the terms I described earlier, right?" Ask Ryuuji.
"Yes, we understand. If we feel uncomfortable or want to break away, we will do it ourselves without the approval of the Master, is that right?"
"Yes that's right, since you already understand that, then I don't have to worry anymore." Ryuuji directed his hand to shake hands with the demihuman who spoke to him.
The Demihuman who saw that immediately received his hand.
"Then I say welcome."
"Yes, thank you for accepting our Master." A sound of applause was heard around the field
*{Voice applause}
*{Voice applause}
The sound of cheers and applause filled the field, and Ryuuji was already officially the Master of the demihumans who received him.
...----------------...
Somewhere in the castle of the Flemish Empire.
"What?! Bermoth has been defeated?!" Shouted in disbelief from a golden-robed man sitting at his desk.
"That's right, and reports from our troops say that there's nothing left of the camp he built."
"W-how can, a man as crazy as he can be..."
"Because of General Bermoth's failure to conquer the Forest, our troops were forced to withdraw from the forest, and we suffered no small loss.
"Do you know who beat him?"
"Seeing from the reports of the soldiers who managed to return from the camp, it seems like it was done by only 1 person alone."
"Huh?! one guy?!"
"Yes, and interestingly, the man had absolutely no mana in his body."
"Don't joke! there may be people in this world who have absolutely no mana!!"
"But that's the report given from some of the soldiers."
"Ugh..."
The golden-robed lekaki held his head in dizziness at the report he received from his assistant.
That was because there were many problems that he had to work on at the moment, and those problems were compounded when he received the report of General Bermoth's defeat.
"What are we gonna do now?" Ask the assistant.
The golden-robed man immediately faced his assistant with his sharp eyes, as if he was already determined by something.
"1000, no. Send 10,000 men into the forest."
"?! But with the defeat of General Bermoth, would not be too imposing if.."
"I don't care, after all I have to get that forest, our natural resources are depleted now, and the only thing we can do not go bankrupt is get that forest, he said, before the other Kingdoms get it."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, I'm sure. And this time, send the remaining two Generals to lead the troops. Tell them that failure is unforgivable.
"Alright, if it's your decision, then I can only follow it."
"Good then, I look forward to a good report from you."
"certain." The man's assistant slowly walked towards the exit to immediately tell about his master's plan to his subordinates.
*Clack.* {Voice of closed doors}
In the room that only one person was left in, there was a golden-robed man who was covering his face using his hands while thinking about something.
"I hope this time I didn't make the wrong decision." Mumbled the man.
