Chapter 59: Chapter 58 – Preparations

"We would have War Council soon, so be so kind and stop admiring your metal machines that look creepy."

Said Venelana from behind me.

"They are not creepy... their design is to maximize their potential in everything they are doing, that is why Arachne Type Arcane Mechanical Automatons were created."

I said that but Venelana didn't bulge even, and we went to the War Council.

We went through the halls of the Fortress Gremory, where Generals Zagan and Amyke, together with Lord Mephisto Pheles, had already waited for our arrival.

"Gentlemen, we can start."

I said as we entered the room.

"Of course, My Lord. At first, the state of our army is well, and we have replenished the losses, so we are on a number of 1,3 million soldiers, ready to march on the Ihor."

General Borke Zagan reported that Lord Mephisto Pheles turned or holographic projection of the Ihor.

"As we can see, the next target of the conquest would be the Ihor subcontinent, leaving the Mainland of Yestera Plane as the last one. We have sensed a large amount of Ulitmate-Class beings on the Mainland, so before we have manufactured enoágh weaponry from Arcanotech, it would be best to go there as last."

Explained General Zagan with a short break as I nodded my head in approval.

"From magical scans, it seems, contrary to the Ewor subcontinent; the entire Iwor subcontinent is dominated by human tribes, a more developed than barbarians than here, probably due to lack of a large number of various monster species or goblinoids as in Ewor subcontinent."

Continued General Zagan.

"About how many Ultimate-Classes are we talking about?"

I asked while looking at General Zagan.

"More than fifteen, probably."

Reported General.

"Hmm... soon, three Lunar-Class Cruisers would be constructed with firepower that is able to kill Ultimate-Class being. With a specifically prepared ambush, we could kill a large amount of them, maybe even all, if we lure them to battle."

I said.

With the construction of three Lunar-Class Cruisers, the first of my Voidship fleets, I wasn't too worried about numerical disadvantage against more Ultimate-Class beings. With Voidships and advanced Anti-Matter Magicule Batteries, I could prepare some kind of ambush and dispose of even several Ultimate-Class beings in one sneak attack.

And if I have more than twenty Voidship, I could even let them get head-on.

"We will use Voidships to cross over the sea and build teleportation array on the Ihor subcontinent, and through the teleportation array, our army and together with Mechanical Legion will cross over."

I planned to cross with Voidships and their construct array to bring my legions.

"That is a good plan, Lord Lucifer. During my magical scans, I have found that within depths of the ocean, there are entities on the Satan-Class."

Stated Lord Mephisto Pheles.

This was something I had already predicted when we first came here. It was only a matter of time until I had enough power and military strength to conquer the sea inhabitants and mine the entire plane through and through.

"Sea exploration would be done much later; now, our focus is on continents."

I said.

"My Lord, how many soldiers could one Cruiser transport?"

Asked me, General Zagan.

"If they are packed densely, then maximally 100,000. Altogether, all three of them could transport one and half of Legion, and in storage space, a probably unknown number of Mechanical Automatons, but probably even more."

Answered shortly. Cruisers weren't suitable for the transportation of many troops, which was a role for Battleships, Dreadnought, Flagships, or Space Fortresses.

"Then it is decided. Voidships will be finished in the upcoming days. Lord Mephisto, you would be coming on this expedition with us, as Fortress Gremory with all advanced Arcanotech isn't in immediate danger for now."

I ordered. With new additions to the defense of Fortress Gremory, the fort with all Arcanotech, it could easily defend against the attack of many Ultimate-Class beings. Mainly thanks to new models of Anti-Matter Magicule Batteries that were also used in the Lunar-Class Cruisers were mounted onto walls and towers of the Fortress Gremory.

"Yes, My Lord." "Yes, My Lord." "Of course Lord Lucifer."

Responded two Generals and Lord Mephisto Pheles together as they left the room, and I was left alone with Venelana.

"So what do you think, Vena? In the future, this would be our lifeblood."

I said to her as I sat down on the sofa.

"It is too bloody but probably necessary. From two months, you have obtained resources worth several years of production in the Underworld."

Said Venelana slowly as she came to me and sat on my lap, and hugged me. My hearts beat very fast as I felt her soft body touching mine. This was really something new to me; I felt uneasy but also comfortable for some reason.

[This is just a biological reaction of you meatbags have, or in other words, you want to mate with this woman, so mate with her.]

Said the voice of Architect in my head.

'Crappy machine.'

I cursed in my head.

After several seconds, I hugged Venelana with my hands and held her close to me as her head rested on my chest. It was apparent that even though she was masking it perfectly, she didn't like the environment here.

This was a military expedition with a minimum amount of luxuries or other necessities for nobles. Personally, I was not too fond of it, so I didn't take anything that wasn't really needed for expeditions or battles.

"Thank you for your help."

I said quietly to her.

In truth, I was thrilled that she came, it may didn't seem like that, but she was a great help.
