The FPS Deity

  Most of the generals were familiar with the coat of arms of the Ranustin Kingdom as it was the closest kingdom that does not belong to their continent.

  The generals were immediately hostile towards these people. Although they definitely outnumbered the enemy, only numbering around a few thousand, they did not dare underestimate people whom they outnumber anymore. After all, Feihren singlehandedly wiped out half of them. They still don't dare believe that there are very many people like him that exist, but being careful every now and then is always beneficial.

  Feihren signaled for the people behind him to calm down as he proceeded to walk towards the Ranustin Army. Feihren waved his hand as if he was calling out for someone. This made the generals behind him curious, as he didn't seem to be waving towards their own forces.

  A small group of people immediately moved to stand in front of Feihren. Aside from the original 10-man party of his, there were a few others, including King Samson.

  '… And it seems that the Emperor of the Bainzen Empire has come as well'.

  Feihren threw a casual smile towards this Emperor as the people from the 10-man party that belonged to his empire were just putting their heads down as if they were ashamed to look Feihren in the eyes.

  "Ah! It seems that you are indeed powerful, and have seized this place quite well." King Samson spoke up after inspecting the now desolate stronghold. The kings of the other kingdoms within the group nodded in satisfaction as well. "Now then, well handle everything from here. All you need to do is wipe the remaining enemies out. It will be a squeaky clean transition." The Bainzen emperor added, while shooting a grin towards the people behind Feihren.

  "You… You work for them?" Alexis said in a low voice caused by despair.

  "I did, but you know what…" Feihren replied to Alexis as he threw a similar smile towards the generals behind him, before turning to King Samson and the others.

  "…You can all go home now. As for the Wolfenstein Kingdom? Change of plans, I'll be their king now."

  Chapter 40: Don't Even Dare

  "What did you just say?"

  One of the kings within the Blaz Continent group immediately reacted. The others had deep frowns on their faces as they were taken aback at what Feihren had just said.

  "Ah, let me clarify my statement then. I'll be taking over the Wolfenstein Kingdom myself. It's more of a transfer of power really." Feihren had immediately dispersed the "confusion" by bluntly repeating what he said. "And before you think that I broke our deal, all I ever said was 'I'll seize the Wolfenstein Kingdom'. I never said anything about handing it over to a bunch of greedy clowns… I'm not receiving anything from all this anyway, right? Might as well be the new king…" Feihren continued as he glanced at the Bainzen Emperor.

  In truth, Feihren would never burden himself with becoming a king, this was just too troublesome of a role for him to handle. But letting these people suffer under another set of bad rulers would just be further torture for them. If it had been bad for the entire army with all of King Louie's issues back then, how would the Blaz Continent taking over the entire Wolfenstein Kingdom just so that they could plunder more resources be any better? It would not only be bad for the military, but it would also endanger the citizens of the Wolfenstein Kingdom. This was not something Feihren wished for.

  He never hated the Wolfenstein Kingdom in the first place. He only disliked the foolishness of the royalty and nobles. The citizens of the kingdom had never shown any hostility towards him. It was actually closer to the opposite. He had actually found a few friends in this kingdom, such as the dwarves. Though, technically they are not residents of the Wolfenstein Kingdom anymore.

  "You dare?!"

  The arrogant looking emperor of the Bainzen Empire retorted as he cast a fireball towards Feihren. The fireball did not even get close to Feihren before a gigantic figure appeared in front them, proudly standing forth as a shield to all the people around. Samael had reached over 4 meters in height after he leveled up a few more times back then when they had attacked this eastern stronghold.

  The fireball dissipated as it made contact with the shiny red giant. Samael's sudden appearance startled everyone. 'A sentient ore was following someone's orders?!'

  "Anyone tries to make a move against us again and he'll start smashing..." Feihren warned the group of kings as he pointed towards Samael. The other kings had gnashed their teeth in anger as they could not carelessly do anything for now.

  Feihren turned his back as he signaled for the Wolfenstein generals to return, but in the next instant the 3 Bainzen mages channeled a restriction spell towards Samael. As the red giant was tied to the ground, the other knights that were from the Bainzen Empire immediately charged towards Feihren, who was still facing the opposite direction. The arrogant emperor himself joined the melee as he charged with offensive spells already prepared in his palms.

  The sudden attack caught everyone off guard. Even King Samson himself was shocked at the fact that most of the people in the group were actually under the command of the Bainzen Emperor. The generals facing Feihren had paled as they saw the incoming attacks. They did not have enough time to reach Sir Feihren and defend him. But a smile appeared on Feihren's face while all this was happening, as if saying, 'Do not worry, I knew it would come'.

  'Why is this world full of arrogant people...?' Feihren sighed as the attacks from the knights had reached him. Too bad they weren't using high grade weapons...

  [Pallas Skin] Activated.

  Feihren slowly turned back towards the rushing party as he also grew in stature, 'Titan Arms'.

  *Boom! Splat!

  The knights that attacked Feihren first were immediately squashed in an instant. The mages who were still restricting Samael had lost their focus from surprise at the bloody scene that appeared and thus failed to pin down the red giant any further.

  Samael immediately charged at the mages, pounding them into paste before turning back to the people that were attacking Feihren. It was such a gruesome scene that the other kings within the group had already fled and brought along every single one of their people. The other kings immediately followed suit.

  The remaining enemy, the Emperor of the Bainzen Empire, had frozen in place due to fear as he turned to attempt to run away, but to his dismay there was another gigantic figure blocking his path. He could not help but scream in fear.

  "Ahhhhh!"

  *SPLAT!!

  Two fists from different directions landed on the emperor as he was squished mercilessly. It would be an exaggeration if one were to call the body of the emperor 'lifeless'. A paste would be something that inherently does not contain life, but this would be the best way to describe the current state of the emperor right now.

  Feihren glared towards King Samson in the distance, as he retreated after witnessing this scene.

  This cemented the fact that Feihren was a powerful being, which made the hearts of the Wolfenstein generals flutter as they could foresee a greater future for their Kingdom.

  ...

  A few weeks after the coronation of the new king, King Feihren of the Wolfenstein Kingdom.

  The supposed uprising back then did not go as they had expected. When they returned from the eastern stronghold, most of the royalty, including King Louie the 3rd, had seemingly vanished. They were no longer in the castle or even seemingly in the capital as far as anyone could find. Some of the nobles that had close ties with the king back then had suddenly disappeared as well.

  The news of the exploitation the royalties had been doing to the people within the army had reached the ears of the commoners and every other citizen of the kingdom. This gave rise to the popularity of a man that had been rumored to have ended everything by killing off the corrupted former king.

  Feihren was able to obtain the throne easily due to the unanimous decision of the entire kingdom. But he was not satisfied by being tied down within this kingdom alone. Perhaps it was due to his adventurous nature, but the whole royalty thing bored h
im to tears even after only a few weeks. It hadn't been easy for him to learn the ways of handling a Kingdom. He was not some figurehead this time. Instead he was actually trying to reform some of the crude ways within the system and used the extensive knowledge from his previous life to help.

  Although this was a good thing, Feihren did not find this 'fun'. Although responsibility is good, once in a while you crave for something different from the same old thing.

  A few weeks ago, right after his coronation, he had already anticipated that this whole 'being a king' thing was not his slice of pie. It was not that he doesn't know what to do. It's just that it's holding him back from exploring this large and unusual world he now found himself in. So he had called an 'old friend' of his to participate in all this and become his Prime Minister, Marvin Mendi.

  Being a former general, Marvin himself isn't new to the whole 'leading others' thing, but handling the affairs of a whole kingdom was another story. However, when Feihren had asked him to do it, he literally couldn't say no... After all, this was Feihren that was asking a favor from him... It was the one person that none of the dwarves would ever dare to offend, including himself.

  It was then decided that the Prime Minister was to handle the internal affairs of the kingdom, while King Feihren himself was planning to travel around the continent to 'entice other kingdoms to trade' with them.

  Although it sounded legitimate, it was a quick and easy excuse that nobody would think of immediately except for Feihren himself. If one were to inspect it closely, the positions and roles should have definitely been swapped! But none of the residents, or even the officials, said anything...

  These past few weeks were the most peaceful times the capital has had in recent memory! It may be simply because the return of the garrisoned soldiers immediately decreased the crime rate, but it was all due to King Feihren's 'loving guidance' that they had returned safely.

  It was then set that King Feihren would venture out for a month or two to seek out business negotiations with the neighboring kingdom.

  "Does everyone agree to the Kings proposal?" The Senate had been in a meeting about all this.

  Everyone in the Senate hurriedly nodded in unison.

  Chapter 41: Roaming Kings

  Multiple carriages could be seen traveling through the woodlands adjacent to the Jujelei River.

  Within these simple looking carriages were grand objects hidden under some dirty-looking rags. These were precious treasures and gems that were plundered from the vaults of the Wolfenstein Kingdom. At a glance, one would think that this was an organized operation lead by bandits. But within this group of rogue figures were familiar faces that the citizens of the kingdom would easily recognize.

  King Louie the 3rd and a couple other distant relatives of the royal family were the ones occupying the carts in this group of carriages. The gloomy atmosphere was evident within the carts as every single face inside was dreary. Silence permeated the area as the horses slowly dragged the heavy carts along the paved path towards the deep forest.

  "I'll take back everything that was once mine. Just you wait and see..." King Louie the 3rd muttered with seething rage evident in his bloodshot eyes.

  They had no choice but to flee before they could get trampled over by the people of Wolfenstein when they found out the truth of what was happening. Leaving the kingdom was the best option.

  ...

  Bainzen Empire

  The news of the death of their emperor had immediately thrown the empire into chaos.

  Some of the rebel groups that were against the rule of the deceased emperor had received the news earlier than the rest of the military groups as they had spies within the group of people that were sent from the Ranustin Kingdom. They had personally witnessed the gruesome slaughtering of their fellow Bainzen citizens, including the emperor himself.

  They had immediately taken advantage of the chaotic situation from within and had moved to usurp the Empire for themselves. The rebel group, 14 Night Crows, had been in the shadows for quite a while now and had been a prominent power within the 'underworld'. They had all sorts of illegal businesses and they almost completely monopolized the black market for the area. They were more of a notorious gang than a 'rebellious group' for if you were to ask anyone.

  On the surface of the Bainzen Empire, the supposed 'chaotic situation' was in fact, non-existent. Unbeknownst to the common citizens, the rebellious groups other than the 14 Night Crows were immediately wiped out. How was this all possible?

  Prince Jason, the genius prince of the Bainzen Empire had taken care of them all. Even at his youthful age of 16, he had made a great contribution to the development of the Bainzen Empire. He had comprehended a better agricultural system and had a vast knowledge regarding the 'black dust' that was a well-kept secret for the military powers of the kingdoms within the Jejuron Continent.

  In truth, he was a scheming young hooligan who also happened to be the head of the 14 Night Crows. None of the members aside from the first 13 people amongst this group knew that their actual leader was the kingdom's prince. He was 12 years old back when he had first gathered the nobles who were not in favor of the ruling emperor. Then he had concerted all the plans for them to get rid of the emperor using means that would never stain their own hands.

  "It has been such a lucky break for me all this time..." Prince Jason grinned as he stared at the horizon.

  "So... You're here as well? Guess destiny granted me a second chance. Don't think I have forgotten about what you have done, my old friend..." Prince Jason muttered to himself as he deviously smiled. Although this would usually be something one would think of as a smile of pleasure, one could feel the burning hatred in the depths of the young prince's eyes.

  ...

  "I think I'm all set? I'll be going now if none of you have anything more that I should be aware of?"

  Feihren had finished all his 'preparations' for his supposed trip to the other kingdoms. For some reason he couldn't shake the feeling that these people that were dumbly staring at him had something to say hidden behind their blank expressions.

  "Are you seriously going all the way to other kingdoms with just... that?" Prime Minister Marvin retorted while pinching the bridge of his nose. 'This Feihren is really stressing me out... How can you say that you are prepared with only this much stuff?!'

  No guards, no carriage, no bags, not even a horse! He was bringing absolutely nothing! Aside from the elegant looking red crossbow that was hanging on his back, Feihren was just wearing brown commoner's clothes. Although Marvin had known that 'carrying equipment' was never a problem for Feihren, this was just too absurd. He was not going to a park or for a run to the market! He was going to other kingdoms and continents for the old god's sake!

  "I do think you need to take more things with you, Your Highness. And you could also use some basic assistants, at least a maid or two? Perhaps a few soldiers?"

  One of the senators spoke up as he was scratching his head about how to propose for their King to actually carry or bring something with him.

  "Pshhaww. You people... come on. It's our great King, his Imperial Highness. He doesn't need guards. It would just end up with him guarding them! Maids? Our king is the most magnanimous person, he wouldn't place such a burden any ladies just for his comfort! It's fine Your Majesty, you can go as you wish!"

  The general who was the first to chant Feihren's name back then still hadn't stopped with the boot-licking sessions up until now. This general looked satisfied as he caressed his bearded chin.

  Weird looks were thrown at this general by the people around him, but he does not seem to mind any of it. Marvin sighed helplessly as he glanced at Feihren, who then spoke up.

  "All right everyone, that's enough. I won't be bringing anyone for now. Maybe on the next trip or two, but as of now I'll just be testing the waters while I travel alone. Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

  Feihren raised his hands as he dismissed their concerns. Everyon
e nodded in agreement to Feihren's last statement of him being able to take care of himself... Heck, he could "take care" of anything that they think could possibly happen for that matter.

  They all waved their hands as they bid farewell to their beloved King.

  "Which kingdom do you think King Feihren will be going first?" One of the senators randomly threw a quick question at the people who were still watching Feihren disappear unto the horizon.

  "Hmmm. From the proposal, he promised to return within 4 months, which is not a lot of time if you ask me. So it is quite likely that he will be heading somewhere on the Shodan Continent." One of the generals replied.

  "I highly doubt that... Based on his attitude, he's definitely gonna cause some kind of trouble. But it's probably not gonna affect us anyway. His kind of trouble appears to usually be the fortuitous kind" Marvin answered with a satisfied smile on his face.
