"...Eh?.... Oh Yes!, Prepare a team to go after it, go around it and continue the mission" Kingsley immediately ordered
"As you wish, General Potr, please mark your location and quietly continue on with the mission" Viktor ordered on Kingsley's behalf
"Affirmative sir!" The general replied
After that a small team of about 20 demon goblins were sent out of the territory to capture the creatures. They were equipped with extremely powerful tranquillizer guns and extremely strong nets, dressed in better fatigues that will help them blend better with the environment.
Normally Kingsley didn't want to do such a thing like suddenly capturing a set of peaceful creatures that were just living quietly on their own but these things looked like the perfect creatures to domesticate, they looked like a weird cross between a horse, a cow or buffalo and a sheep. With their size alone, Kingsley was sure that they would surely provide a lot of meat to the territory and possibly even milk and wool.
Another reason for this was that his ability [Lord's Eye] didn't work on it. He didn't know if this was because he was trying to appraise the creature through such a medium or if the creature just had the ability to negate his ability. He also wanted to capture it because he wanted a good view of the creature and if possible even touch it.
As a man who grew up on Earth, a creature like this was just straight out of fiction. It was the best proof that he was in a fantasy world, looking at it, the best name he could come up with was Chimera but this doesn't look like a forcefully made creature. It looked more like Nature's middle finger to the world.
With his orders passed on, the recovery team left the territory at incredible speeds in the direction of the creature. They didn't need to be too careful since the first team had already confirmed the area's safety for them so they could be as fast as they wanted.
Soon they reached the location marked by the first team, with their arrival also meant a better view of the creature and its surroundings unlike with the first team who were rushing to continue on with their mission. The creature or creatures could be seen walking and sitting around a large field where they stayed doing nothing but eating the grass around them.
Due to the fact that they didn't know if the creature was omnivorous too, they didn't start attacking it immediately instead they chose to wait and maybe learn a few of its mannerisms. The purpose of all this was to try and domesticate them and even if they didn't provide anything, Kingsley was at least sure that the creature would provide them with wool or whatever the wool-like fur on its body was called.
Armed with strong nets and tranquilizers, the recovery team slowly started to surround them with each team member pointing a gun at the creatures. The goal was to reduce their numbers as quickly as possible so they can stand a chance of capturing the others if they resist.
*Pew*
The tranquilizers were fired and in the next instant, several of the creatures fell to the ground. The fall was too sudden and loud thus drawing the attention of the other creatures towards them. Seeing the others on the floor, the other creatures knew something was wrong and their instincts kicked in as they tried to escape.
Seeing this, the recovery team immediately gave chase with some of them staying behind to shoot the creatures. The ones giving chase tried to keep the creatures within the vicinity so they could be within the range of the shooters. Kingsley, who was watching the entire thing from the command room, felt that it was all too easy.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Normally capturing a fantasy creature in the stories usually came with a lot of deaths and injuries for the party but the creatures here were being dropped one by one to the extent that he thought that even flies would put up a better fight. He didn't know if this was because of the modern weaponry or if it was that the Demon Goblins were too overpowered or if the creature itself was just weak.
Kingsley couldn't tell which one it was so he was subjected to watching as the creatures were captured without them even putting up a fight. Watching them if there was any thoughts of them being predators before, now those thoughts had vanished because only prey gets captured this easily. Hell even a chicken would probably put up a better fight than these creatures.
"My Lord, the creatures are contained and the recovery team is on their way back" Viktor reported
"Good, now focus on the main mission"
"As you wish" Viktor said then turned his attention back to the main mission.
=================
Lord [Maya] wants to join your territory Do you accept?
[Yes] [No]
===================
"I was beginning to wonder if the event was that easy to survive" Kingsley thought since he hadn't heard any submission message for an hour or even more now.
He had expected today to be the day that many lords in the territory would submit to him. When he gave his speech, he expected only the truly self aware people to submit and they did but now, with reality slapping them in the face, many people would realize that having powerful troops didn't mean survival, they needed equipment, medicine too.
Even the generals, as powerful as they were, got injured during the battle and this happened even when they were equipped with clothes that served as disaster-class armor and had weapons of the same level. The tide was just too much for them, even gods would fall if attacked by millions of lesser creatures with powers of all kinds.
With that thought in mind, Kingsley expected that the ones that would survive this first wave without any help would be those with extremely high end troops. That being those with SS and SSS rank troops, Kingsley believed that even they would have problems surviving too.
"I accept" Kingsley answered and immediately had a clone attend to the new governor while the system made its usual regional announcement to tell everyone that there was a new governor under him.
===============
Lord [Maya] has surrendered his territory to Lord [Kingsley]
Lord [Maya] has now been demoted to Governor [Maya] in accordance with the conditions set by Lord [Kingsley] Lord [Kingsley] is now responsible for Governor [Maya]
