There was nothing else I could do for now except for locking her up. I got that she must be confused, but she had to sort things out first with herself before I’d speak with her.

And above all, she just dropped from my list of girls. Having such a girl near me was bad.

Who knew if she was working on an agenda or something? I had to secure not only myself, but my entire kingdom and people from such harm.

As Lily went away, I started deploying the discs on the ground. It was an easy task, and I finished it in no time.

“What shall I do now?” I got that Silverlining had days before he’d deliver the promised Hescos.

And Lily would take days to finish selecting the old and veteran soldiers from all across the two grand training grounds.

She got first to turn these continents into training grounds. The first batches of people who arrived here got arranged into two big groups; one to build, and one to fight.

The workers were doing a great job already. Building cities and towns started to be an easy task for everyone in my kingdom it seemed.

Yet the fighters got nothing else to do but sit under the blazing sun and enjoy the great peace and weather.

It wasn’t bad, after all any warrior would need a moment of rest. But I didn’t like this rest to extend for days, more than a week.

So after doing my task, I flew over and watched the grand army here getting assembled by Lily’s orders.

It was time!

I got that monsters would need lots of time to grow and evolve, but Lily got lots of dens this time.

Last time we got to use a few, handfuls that would be counted on a single hand. Yet this time we had close to three hundred, and we got ground, aquatic, and flying dens.

In time, this place would turn into such a hellish training ground for my troops. They’d have to fight everywhere, at land, at water, and even foes coming from air.

Imagining this scene made me excited!

In a few hours, I heard lots of roars coming from many directions. It seemed that Lily used aquatic dens at the ocean and the long trait, and at the continent of lakes.

The ground monsters were arranged in the mountains, alongside the flying ones. I watched in just ten hours the first waves of monsters coming at my forces.

It wasn’t that big, but it had almost all types of monsters. They came from the ocean, from land, and from air, making me wonder if my troops were ready for such assault.

And when I got worried, the generals led by Lily proved they were good.

They arranged their troops into legions, each dealing with a separate kind of threat. Of course most of the forces here were fresh, but during the past hours Lily sent for experienced and veteran soldiers to come and help.

The general structure of my armies got settled. Those old soldiers would climb the ladder, at least becoming one hundred man leaders.

Then from them, few would be selected with time, climbing even higher towards one thousand, five thousand, ten thousands, and even fifty thousand and one hundred thousand captains.

In my eyes, the one hundred thousand captains could be considered small army leaders. They could move freely, do damage if used right.

And they could defend themselves and hold any place for enough time for the main army to arrive.

Seeing this arrangement getting in formation made me feel reassured. As the first wave came, my boys started to kill without much fear.

After all they were led by experienced soldiers who saw much worse than that.

The only problem here was in the aerial monsters. And that had me to interfere and help.

I need anti-air weapons

What? Do you want to fight us next or what?

Funny! It seems you are still in a good mood, good to hear I couldn’t help but smile when I saw Silverlining’s message.

My forces could kill monsters on land and water, but they couldn’t fly! And those flying beasts were using far ranged attacks, making even the normal arrows not working here.

If not for the few weapons I once bought over and handed to my few generals back then, Lily and her generals wouldn’t have been able to help their forces and stop this massacre.

But it wasn’t enough, not close to it. They had to interfere and join the aerial fight using their chariots, and I had to even summon my dragons and flying monsters to help.

Let me be clear here, big guns aren’t allowed without permission

I don’t need them, I need versatile small and medium sized weapons

That I can do… How much do you want?

Enough to arm tens of millions or even more

This…

Also I need blueprints of how to make these weapons I knew depending entirely on the huge universe market was good but it wasn’t a permanent solution.

I already have a research department, and many blacksmiths and craftsmen. Why wouldn’t I start making such weapons here? Why wouldn’t I start modifying them using different races’ technology and knowledge?

I wanted to transform even the smallest anti-aerial weapons that could be handled by individual soldiers into mighty weapons that could impact a war if used right.

Blueprints? You mean the way to make these? That’s… A bit difficult

I expected such an answer. After all, if such knowledge was easily acquired, then why would there be a need to sell and buy weapons from others?

You know that I can pay any price without any issue I paused, But I prefer that you’ll get the bones, not any other race

Got it! He was a smart merchant and person to realise what I meant. My bones would open any locked doors in front of me. But I preferred to let these circulate only in one race, not expand them over many.
