The Holy Chronicles Of Baator
Preparations

"We're going to have a War Council soon, so be kind and stop admiring your creepy-looking metal machine."

Venelana said from behind me.

"They're not creepy. Their design is to maximize their potential in everything they do, which is why the Arachne Type Arcane Mechanical Automaton was created."

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

We passed through the hall of the Gremory Fortress, where General Zagan and Amyke, together with Lord Mephisto Pheles, had been waiting for our arrival.

"Gentlemen, we can start."

I said as we entered the room.

"Of course, my lord. In the beginning, the state of our army was fine, and we had replaced the losses, so we were in a number of 1.3 million soldiers, ready to march on Ihor."

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

“As we can see, the next target of conquest is the subcontinent Ihor, leaving the Land of Yestera as the last. We have sensed a large number of Litmate-Class creatures in the Mainland, so before we produce them weaponry from Arcanotech, it would be best to go there as the last."

General Zagan explained with a short break as I nodded in agreement.

"From the magical scanning, it seems, to be in conflict with the subcontinent of Ewor; the entire subcontinent of Iwor is dominated by a human tribe, which is more developed than barbarians than here, probably due to the lack of such a large number of monster or goblinoid species in the Ewor subcontinent ."

General Zagan.

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

I asked while looking at General Zagan.

"More than fifteen, maybe."

General's Reported.

"Hmm... soon, three Lunar-Class Cruisers will be built with firepower capable of killing Ultimate Class creatures. With a specially prepared ambush, we can kill them in large numbers, maybe even everything, if we lure them to war."

I told.

With the construction of three Lunar-Class Cruisers, the first of my Voidship fleet, I am not too worried about the numerical disadvantage against more Ultimate-Class creatures. With advanced Voidships and Magicule Anti-Matter Batteries, I could set up some sort of ambush and dispose of even a few Ultimate Class creatures in one sneak attack.

And if I have more than twenty Voidships, I can even let them go head-to-head.

"We will use the Voidship to cross the ocean and build a teleportation array on the Ihor subcontinent, and through the teleportation array, our troops and together with the Mechanical Legion will cross."

I plan to cross with the Voidships and their construction ranks to bring my legion.

"That's a good plan, Lord Lucifer. During my magical scan, I have discovered that in the depths of the ocean, there are entities in the Demon Class."

The Lord Mephisto Pheles.

"Ocean exploration will be done much later; now, our focus is on the continent."

I told.

"My lord, how many soldiers can one Cruiser transport?"

Ask me, General Zagan.

"If they are packed solidly, then a maximum of 100,000. Overall, the three of them could transport one and a half Legions, and in the storage room, the number of Mechanical Automatons might not be known, but perhaps even more."

Answered briefly. Cruisers are not suitable for transporting large numbers of troops, serving as Battleships, Dreadnought, Flagships, or Space Fortresses.

"It was decided. Voidships will be completed in the coming days. Lord Mephisto, you will be taking part in this expedition with us, because the Fortress Gremory with all the advanced Arcanotech is not in immediate danger for now."

I commanded. With the new addition to the defense of the Fortress Gremory, a fortress with all of the Arcanotech, it could easily survive the attacks of many Ultimate Class creatures. Especially thanks to the new model of the Anti-Matter Magicule Batteries which is also used in the Lunar-Class Cruiser mounted on the walls and towers of the Fortress Gremory.

"Okay, my lord." "Okay, my lord." "Of course Mr. Lucifer."

Replied 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 will be the source of our lives."

I told him as I sat on the couch.

"It was too bloody but it may be necessary. From two months, you have obtained a production-valued resource for several years in the Underworld."

Venelana said softly as she approached me and sat on my lap, then hugged me. My heart was beating very fast as I felt her soft body touch my body. This is really something new to me; I feel restless but also comfortable for some reason.

[It's just a biological reaction that a meat pouch has, or in other words, you want to mate with this woman, so mate with her.]

Said the Architect's voice in my head.

'ugly machine.'

I cursed in my head.

After a few seconds, I hugged Venelana with my hands and hugged her tightly as her head leaned against my chest. It seemed obvious that even though he covered it perfectly, he did not like the environment here.

This was a military expedition with little luxuries or other necessities for the nobles. Personally, I didn't like it very much, so I didn't take anything that wasn't really needed for an expedition or a battle.

"Thank you for the help."

I said slow to him.

Actually, I'm glad he came, it might not look like it, but he was very helpful.
