Just as I became the Emperor of Humanity, the system appeared?

Chapter 11: The Invasion of the Alien Race

Li Ang inquired of Knight Edmund, "How strong is this Nidec?"

Edmund assessed the situation: "This guy's strength is a bit strange. His battle qi cultivation is roughly between a mid-level and upper-level Great Warrior. But he seems to have an unusual brute force dormant within him; once it erupts, he can instantly rise to the level of a peak Great Warrior!"

After a pause, Edmund added, "Nidec's actual combat skills are also formidable. He was able to withstand twenty or thirty moves from me, which is something that ordinary peak-level fighters cannot do."

Very good. He's capable, ruthless, and has decent basic loyalty, plus he's a serious criminal!

Li Ang had an idea: someone like Nidik might be able to lead the newly established "First Criminal Convict Corps of the Royal Capital"!

"If I were to declare you innocent now, how would you repay me?"

Leon looked at Nidik and said.

Nidik's eyes were bloodshot, his thirst for revenge burning fiercely: "If Your Majesty releases me, my life will belong to you! But I must personally kill the culprit—Marquis Zakri!"

Li Ang shook his head and said, "Zakley is now a rancher in the vampire kingdom. Vampires are a superior race on the continent, and their vampire kingdom is currently far more powerful than our human kingdom, Grant!"

"Don't let your impressive strength fool you; you might rival a top-tier warrior in actual combat. But if you were to actually seek revenge in the vampire kingdom, you would be certain to die!"

The light in Nidik's eyes suddenly went out, leaving only a deathly silence: "If I cannot take revenge... what is the point of my life?"

Li Ang waved his hand and said, "Don't rush. You've endured so many years in prison, why be in such a hurry? Be loyal to me, and I'll give you a chance for revenge!"

Nidik's gaze shifted, and he fell into deep thought.

The warden, mustering his courage, advised, "Your Majesty, this Nidik is a dark and cunning man, a serial killer, and arrogant, disregarding noble etiquette! He is not suitable for taming!"

Without Li Ang lifting a finger, Andrew slapped the warden across the face.

"Get out! His Majesty's decisions are none of your business!"

Andrew scolded.

While Nedik hesitated, Leon clearly saw his loyalty level rise to 65 points!

Then, Nidik pressed on, "Your Majesty, will you truly avenge me?"

Li Ang said coldly, "Nidec, do you have any other chance? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Your sudden outburst just now was to get my attention, wasn't it? Either be loyal to me and serve me, or you'll suffer and die a miserable old age here in Wolf Fang Prison!"

Leon's icy words, ironically, instantly pointed Nidik in the right direction.

Loyalty +10 points!

Nedik's loyalty instantly jumped to 75 points!

"Your Majesty, Nidik is willing to serve you!"

The number one prisoner of Wolf Fang Prison, "Nidik," has now become Li Ang's subordinate.

In Li Ang's view, Nidec also possesses the conditions for "Legendary Knight" organ modification.

To better train Nidik, Leon directly appointed Nidik as the acting deputy commander of the [First Criminal Inmate Corps of the Royal Capital].

Nidik has been known as a "notorious figure" in Wolf Fang Prison over the years!

Even though some prisoners were dissatisfied, why should Nidik, a death row inmate, be able to become the high-ranking acting deputy commander?

However, due to Nidik's ruthlessness and cruelty, the legion was able to maintain stability for the time being.

"Thank you for your gracious favor, Your Majesty!"

After being promoted, Nedik's loyalty level had now climbed to "80 points"!

"The Criminal Inmate Corps currently has over 40,000 soldiers. I need you to train them into over 40,000 fearless, reckless warriors as quickly as possible!"

"At the same time, Knight Edmund will take the time to help you train your soldiers! The Royal Capital Garrison is a long-established regular army, capable of rapidly improving the military skills of the Criminal Inmate Corps!"

Li Ang gave the instructions.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

Nidik's gaze was firm and powerful!

.............

After returning from Wolf Fang Prison, Li Ang comfortably soaked in a milk bathtub.

Several young and beautiful maids served Li Ang obediently and adorably.

Li Ang exhaled a breath of stale air, thinking contentedly: This is the life of a king! The problem of manpower in the capital has been solved, so there shouldn't be any major crises for a long time, right?

Thinking of this, Li Ang took another look. The little yellow-skinned system sprite was now quietly staying in his sea of ​​consciousness, showing no signs of anything unusual for the time being.

Everything was so peaceful and comfortable.

Some maids massaged Li Ang's back and shoulders, some fed him grapes and wine, and others wiped his body.

Amidst the steamy air in the bathroom, Li Ang, exhausted from handling government affairs these past few days, drifted off to sleep.

Startled awake again by Chief Steward Mike's loud report: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Foreign Minister Tester urgently requests an audience!"

Li Ang was very displeased that his dream had been interrupted.

Especially Tester, he's no "good guy"!

However, the situation was urgent, and Li Ang had no choice but to suppress his anger, change his clothes, and summon him.

Soon, in the palace council hall, Li Ang looked at Tester with a cold expression.

This time, before Li Ang could even ask, Tester anxiously shouted, "Your Majesty, the Foreign Affairs Office received a declaration of war from the eight alien races today!"

Li Ang's head throbbed: "Eight alien races? A declaration of war? What's going on?"

Foreign Minister Tester produced eight declarations of war, each a different color and material: "Slime Tribe, Gray Dwarf Tribe, Succubus Tribe, Goblin Tribe, Rusty Tribe, Ghoul Tribe, Snake-Man Tribe, Night Elf Tribe!"

"According to the universal racial classification across the three continents: Slime, Rust Monster, and Goblin are all considered inferior races!"

"Grey dwarves, succubi, ghouls, snake people, and night elves belong to the middle races!"

Li Ang retorted, "And what about the human race on the continent, represented by my Kingdom of Grant?"

Tester replied without hesitation, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Since the end of the Holy War more than two hundred years ago, the human race of the Kingdom has been a lower race on the three continents!"

"Especially after the fall of the kingdom's only Saint-level warrior, Guy, a few years ago, our human race is now at the bottom of the list among all the lower-class races on the continent!"

Li Ang was instantly under immense pressure. Tester's words were true. As the representative of the human race, the Kingdom of Grant had always been ranked as a mid-tier race in the world of swords and magic!

Now, their fortunes are declining, and they are among the lowest of the inferior races!

"These alien creatures, each with their own territory, why have they suddenly declared war on my Kingdom of Grant? What are they plotting?"

Li Ang's expression was solemn.

Tester pointed to the east of the kingdom: "Your Majesty, the strongholds of these eight alien races are all located in the east of the kingdom. This year, the Emerald Mountains in the east of the continent of Eknia experienced a [Monster Tide], an event unseen in a thousand years!"

Tester's tone grew increasingly horrified: "With the rampant beast tide, the territories of these eight alien races were the first to be hit! Their nests were destroyed, their people became prey for the monsters, and they suffered heavy losses in winter food and magical materials."

"In order to ensure the survival of their race, they urgently need to plunder resources. Thus, our Grant Kingdom, which they consider the weakest and closest neighbor, has become the most lucrative prey in their eyes!"
