God Succession System 243 The Jobs Of The Haulia

While Alex was busy training, in Verbergen an emergency meeting was going on between the elders Jin Vanton of the bearman tribe, Guze of the dwarven tribe, Lua of the foxman tribe, Mao of the harpy tribe, Zel of the tigerman tribe, and finally the chief elder Ulfric Heipyst of the elven tribe(FOR SKYRIM!). The elders were gathered due to an extremely distressing report they received the previous day, that the demon race was on the march with an army of monsters toward Verbergen. This was an unprecedented disaster for the demihumans since the protection of the forest has always prevented such attacks before. The forest was filled with a thick fog that would cause anyone except demihumans to lose their way in it, and as such has been their greatest defense against the human and demon armies on their quest for slaves, youth this could easily be circ.u.mvented by having a demihuman lead the way.

"We need to meet them in combat directly and use the forest to our advantage!" Zel cried out instantly. As a member of the tigerman tribe which were some of their top warriors due to their high amounts of strength, and lethal claws. Mao shook her head and replied,

"We've scouted them quite a bit from the air before the flying monsters caught wind of us, and while we could use the disorienting effects of the fog it won't be enough to guarantee victory." Jin then stood and demanded,

"Then should we just sit here and wait for them to knock on our doors?! What about the villages that are around the city, should we just leave them to suffer?" It was at this point that the elderly elf at the head of the table spoke up,

"Of course not Jin, no ones suggesting anything of the sort. However we can't just recklessly charge at an army with superior numbers due to even monsters in their ranks, and can even use magic." The rest of the elders were silent at Ulfric's words as they tried to think of a way out of this situation, before a new voice suddenly spoke up from the corner,

"Hehehe, looks like I made the right decision to ask miss Grayfia drop us off at the edge of the forest, you need all the help you could get." All the elders looked up at the speaker who some who managed to infiltrate the private meeting, to see a familiar rabbit eared man standing there nonchalantly.

"Cam..." Ulfric muttered in disbelief, while he realized here was something distinctly different about him. Before he figure it out though Jin roared,

"What are you doing here b.a.s.t.a.r.d!? You were banished along with your whole tribe for hiding that monster you called a daughter, coming back here is death sentence!" The other elders nodded in agreement as they similarly narrowed their eyes at Cam. The rabbitman who were known for their lack of spine waved off the hostile looks and explained somewhat lazily,

"I'm here at my bosses orders, so unless you want to make him an enemy then I wouldn't be too hasty with trying to take your anger out on me." Hearing Cam's calm voice even when threatened caught everyone off guard, but when he mentioned a 'boss' they understood that he must had gotten his confidence from having some mysterious backer. Realization dawned on most of those present and Guze demanded,

"Cam! Did you really lead those d.a.m.ned demon race here for revenge?! We should have executed you when we had the chance!" For the first time Cam's calm look disappeared at the misunderstanding, but before he could correct it everyone took his changing expression as confirmation, and Jin charged him.

"YOU SPINELESS TRAITOOOOOOR!!!" Seeing the raging bearman charging at him Cam sneered and simply raised his fist, causing yet another thing that surprised everyone present. Seemingly out of nowhere several individuals suddenly appeared and slashed at the muscles in Jin's legs to incapacitate him without killing him, causing Zel to similarly attack as well. This time however he was wary of the blades the a.s.sailants used, and managed to dodge them since a tigerman was more nimble than the bearmen. What he didn't expect was that the a.s.sailant he would charge at didn't fight back directly, but instead grabbed his arms and used some kind of unknown technique to use his own momentum to throw then pin him to the ground. With no one else trying to attack them, Cam calmly walked towards the table that the other we're now standing around before nonchalantly sitting in Jin's now unoccupied seat and saying,

"I am not with the demon race, if anything my boss sent me here to fight against them so stop being stupid. He sent me here to keep the entrance to labyrinth safe and to give you all a message as well, that within the next month you can expect those enslaved by the empire to be returned as free men and women." There was silence once more as everyone digested Cam's words, before Ulfric hesitantly asked what he considered the most important question at that moment,

"And who is this boss of yours?" Cam smiled at the question and launched into an explanation of Alex and everything he was doing. Starting from saving them when the empires soldiers attacked them, Cam also explained how they came to follow him to how they eliminated the entire underground world in Furhen at his direction, and then how he went out of his way to return a member of the Dagon race to Erisen. He also explained Alex's description of G.o.ddess Gabriel and how she wanted peace between the races, which also meant freedom for the demihumans from slavery. As he explained everything to them Ulfric understood the difference that he felt in Cam at first, as the same man he banished all those months ago no longer existed. Once Cam finished his explanation he then said,

"Now then I suppose we should go and deal with these demons invading Verbergen, since they are most likely here for the labyrinth." As he finished speaking Cam stood up and walked out of the room without paying any attention towards the elders, before they hurriedly moved to follow him out and see what he was doing. After exiting the tree building Cam stopped on the steps and looked out over the surprised crowd of demihumans who were waiting to hear news from the elders. He then took in a deep breath and confused them further by shouting,

"FALL IN!" As his voice rang out no one understood what it meant, but then suddenly around a hundred people appeared out of nowhere and gathered in an orderly fas.h.i.+on in front of Cam, and each and every one of them had a pair of rabbit ears standing on top of their heads. Seeing all of them gathered he then said,

"Currently the demons are marching on Verbergen as we speak, not that this has anything to do with us. However the boss requested that we protect the labyrinth and there is a large chance that that is what the demons are after, WILL YOU ALLOW THIS?!"

"""NO!""" The gathered rabbitmen declared with fervor. Cam then continued,

"The boss wishes for peace between the factions, but those who try to take his stuff are his enemies!"

"""ENEMIES! ENEMIES! ENEMIES!"""

"AND WHAT DO WE DO TO THE BOSS'S ENEMIES?!"

"""KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"""

As they chanted a bloodthirsty aura started spreading towards the spectators as they slowly started backing away in fear. Driving further on the momentum he'd generated, Cam then cried out,

"KILL THE BOSS'S ENEMIES!" With this as their battle cry the entire group of rabbitmen charged into battle but, as if everything they just witnessed was just an illusion, all of the bloodthirsty rabbits suddenly disappeared once they left their line of sight. There was suddenly no sign of any army moving out as everyone there was staring around dumbfoundedly, including the elders. But it did happen, as later the reports came in of the monsters and demons in the attacking army sudden had their numbers decimated due to less than 100 rabbits that attacked from the shadows, as they meticulously and viciously repelled the attackers.

Meanwhile in the Capitol city of the Heiligh kingdom a member of the temple Knights was patrolling the city on the lookout for the list of heretics that the church gave him. It was a.s.sumed they may make their move soon since the brainwashed apostle Aiko and commander Meld had disappeared with the kidnapped princess. The night before Aiko Hatayama had escaped from the castle unnoticed which had resulted in a grounds wide search for her that never bore fruit, it wasn't until early this morning that it was discovered that the knight commander Meld and the princess Liliana were both missing as well. It didn't take long for the king and the church to declare that like Aiko, the knight commander must have been brainwashed by the champion of the false G.o.ddess and they conspired to kidnap the princess for him, an idea supported by the fact that in very instance that this champion appeared he was escorted by a plethora of women. As the knight mentally ran through the list of criminals once more he suddenly saw a gathering of people and went to investigate, before realizing that at their center was a familiar individual.

"People of the Heiligh kingdom, hear my voice and listen to my plea! I am the prophet of the G.o.ddess Gabriel, Aiko Hatayama! I have fled the castle and the church because they have branded me a heretic and have decided that I am of no use to their ambition, except as a hostage!" As Aiko's voice carried across the people many began talking amongst themselves as many had heard of the 'G.o.ddess of good harvest', and the fact that she was now branded as a heretic surprised all of them. Seeing that she had the attention of the people Aiko listened to the device in her ear to know what to say next before continuing.

"The church claims that myself and that the knight commander Meld have been brainwashed to follow the whims of the "false G.o.ddess Gabriel", that we kidnapped the princess for her champion, but they can not be further from the truth! It is the king who had been brainwashed! The n.o.bles, the members of the church, they are all now under the influence of a servant of the G.o.d Ehito!" As she spoke Aiko's words sent waves through the people as they tried to understand what she was saying, meanwhile the temple knight was already trying to get backup in order to apprehend the criminal. While this was going on Aiko continued still and recited the story Alex decided to tell the population,

"Yes they are the ones being controlled, by a G.o.d that lets petty jealousy rule his decisions and turned his own siblings on each other in order to feel superior! Listen well people, and know the truth of the G.o.d you all wors.h.i.+p as the G.o.ddess tells me! The G.o.d Ehito was her first born son, and her only divine child! So when the G.o.ddess birthed the rest of the races and showed and equal amount of love to them all he felt jealous, why should he only be as loved as mere mortals? And so the G.o.d Ehito acted and used his brainwashed followers to destroy his mother's temples, and to eliminate her name from our histories! After that he then used them to ignite war between the races, and has been driving them to war with each other ever since to prove to his mother how undeserving they were of her love!"

By this point everyone was silent as they hung onto her every word, all of which would be considered blasphemy by the church and would be enough to justify Aiko's execution ten times over. Some thought she was insane and deserved to be executed, while others listened closely as they felt the answers to a few questions they never asked fell into place. There existed only two reasons for their prolonged war with the demon race, the fact that they wors.h.i.+ped a false G.o.d, and the resentment of those who had lost family members at the hands of the demons. Before they could think too deeply about it though a new voice shouted,

"There! Arrest the heretic!" With this voice as the herald an entire troop of Knights swarmed onto the street and tried to surround Aiko to arrest her. She looked I afraid though and shouted one last thing,

"Don't let the tyranny of Ehito cloud your minds, instead embrace the love of the G.o.ddess Gabriel! In two days the champion of Gabriel will appear and will prove the manipulation and tyranny of Ehito to everyone!" Leaving those departing words a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared from nowhere before the soldiers could reach them, and when it cleared Aiko was nowhere to be seen. The leader of the temple Knights shouted,

"Split up and search for her, find the heretics and rescue the princess at all costs!" The soldiers saluted and a immediately started searching the area for any traces of Aiko, unaware that she was already in an abandoned building several blocks away surrounded by a a group of roughly a hundred people with rabbit ears.

"That was amazing miss Aiko!"

"The people really believed you!"

"That was such great acting!"

Aiko blushed as the rabbitmen around her continued showering her with praise at her performance. This was the second task Alex had for the Haulia, protecting Aiko and helping spread the story he came up with for Ehito and Gabriel to the people while also avoiding the temple Knights while he trained. As they were praising her several other members of the Haulia that wore hats or hoods with soot smeared in their characteristic dark blue hair departed, intending to also spread the words of Gabriel as fellow believers. If several people were praising Gabriel then more people would believe what Aiko was saying, and since the church and Knights were openly hostile against Gabriela and her followers then no one would question them hiding their appearances with hats or hoods.

Soon several dozen people began appearing thought the city from men and women to even children, all praising the G.o.ddess and promising that the champion of the G.o.ddess would liberate the people from the tyranny of Ehito. Each and every time the guards tried to arrest or kill said heretics but they always somehow slipped away, with even the children making fools of them.
