Chapter 66: Chapter 65 – Aftermath of Ihor

After giving orders, I took my spoils of war and left the rest of the work to my loyal subject. The next day, General Amyke and General Zagan took the army and even Mechs and conquered and annihilated every human on the Ihor subcontinent.

Within one week, the entire Ihor fell, and the Magic Tower network was swiftly constructed during that week, increasing my fold. Afterward, I could finally enjoy some rest, as an attack on the Mainland was scheduled to happen two to three months later.

Probably three, I needed to manufacture many things for the conquest to be as smooth as possible. Today I was sitting in a particular room in Fort Bael that was named in Vena's honor, or the real reason I sucked at naming things. But alas, Venelana was happy, and I got a kiss, so good deal.

Before me, there were two corpses of Ultimate-Class human shamans before me, and I planned to use Devour Trait on them.

I used the Devour on the corpse on the right and felt a stream of energy enter my body as it soon disappeared.

'Increase?'

I asked Architect.

[4 Units.]

Answered my MTC A.I.

Then I used the Devour on the second corpse, and my Demonic Energy reserves increased once again slightly by 5 Units.

Altogether I had right now 192 Units of Demonic Energy by Architect's calculations.

Not great, not terrible.

I ordered Architect to start constructing a proper Mechanical Legion, and the base would be Arachne Hydralisk. This mech was around 3,5 meters tall and weighed around 500kg. Armed with two scythe-like limbs, it looked like lamia or at, rather some kind of Lovecraftian aberration of greek lamia.

Additionally, it had inscribed a set of protective runes, gaining strong energy resistance; with all things, its power is High-Class. It was also armed with some energy-based weaponry.

After two months, I will probably have one Legion of 200,000 of these Arachne Hydralisks. This was the might of mechs; the more I have faster they replicate.

After one month, the entire Ihor was turned into an industrial paradise. The number of Drones shot up to 2,000,000 from an initial 750,000 just after one month, and now Drones started working on the construction of Mechanical Legions as they started building Hydralisk Mechs. Some other drones were doing mining work; others were doing processing work in many factories.

Having such a world as this was truly profitable. I gained a huge army from resources mined from two subcontinents, and Mainland had to be conquered. With this, I would be able to gain so many Mechs. I will make an astronomical amount of money when I start selling them.

After another month, I gained my long-dreamed Mechanical Legion of 200,000 intimidating-looking Hydralisk Mechs. They looked beautiful and dangerous at the same time. I have decided to wait an additional two more months, have at least two Mechanical Legions, and have some time for Drones to construct a few more Lunar-Class Cruisers.

I spent most of my days silently, studying magic or talking with Mephisto or Vena. Sometimes I wonder about my perception of time is messed up. In my past life as a human, even though there was a long lifespan among even ordinary humans, we perceived time in the way we would die one day, while I was the devil wasn't the same. Devils could spend decades doing literary nothing without any remorse.

Our lifespan was minimally 10,000 years, so we were slow at everything.

After additional two months, all preparations were done. I now had in my disposition 400,000 High-Class Hydralisk Mechs and 14 Lunar-Class Cruisers, together with more than 2,000,000 Drones. Though in the upcoming conquest of the Mainland of Yestera, I won't be using drones even as cannon fodder.

They get broken very easily, and preparing them is annoying. My army that would be invading the Mainland shall be 10 Legions of my devils, numbering 2,000,000. I already replenished the deceased as I called reinforcements from home. Then 2 Mechanical Legions and a small Fleet of 10 Lunar-Class Cruisers. There would be 4 Drone Legions to construct objects and some necessary things as support.

While Hydralisk Mechs could be used as workers, their efficiency was far lower compared to that of specialized drones.

Soon enough, the entire Yestera would be mine. When finally, I would be able to return home, I felt better in the Underworld.

Today, the last thing needed was to consult a strategy and assign roles to each of the Ultimate-Class fighters on my side, and then tomorrow, we could go. Ultimately, it was decided that the invasion of the Mainland would commence with an army divided into two groups.

Each Army group would have 5 Legions of Devils, 1 Mechanical Legion, and 7 Lunar-Class Cruisers. Group 1 would be commanded by General Zagan, while Group 2 would be commanded by me personally.

General Amyke would join Group 1, while Vena would join Group 2 with me. Lord Mephisto would be remaining on stand-by in the Ihor subcontinent in case of emergencies.
