After several days, when all preparations were complete, I led my Army Group B numbering 1,000,000 soldiers and 200,000 Mechs, along with several supporting Arcanotech, mainly artillery, to the Mainland of the Yestera Plane.
Within the next two hours, we would be reaching the southwestern shores of the mainland, and I was already in combat-ready mode. The entire mainland was populated by monsters and some goblinoids or other monster humanoid species.
So fight, as soon as we land, was inevitable.
“With two of us, we are enough. There is a low possibility of encountering a higher number of General Level monsters in one place on the mainland, as they tend to be rather territorial. Also, due to the lack of humans on the mainland, the more intelligent species such as Orcs or Bugbears don’t tend to group together, but rather the entire mainland in one huge warzone between various species and tribes as they fight over domination.”
I explained slowly.
While the mainland had more General Level monsters, numbering in tens, they were too engulfed in inner strife. Not to mention the fact majority of monsters were stupid even at the General Level, so I didn’t fear any kind of unified resistance.
We can slowly hunt them one by one. On top of that, I needed a lot of General Level corpses to increase my Energy Reserves through Devour. It would be best if I find some species like Eldritch Giant that had an extremely potent magical power; that would be good for me.
“I know; we just don’t have enough Ultimate-Class combatants on our side.”
Said Venelana quietly.
“Yes, you are right, but what we have is advanced Arcanotech, which could blast Ultimate-Class to death until even no dust remains. Also, we are a more advanced and developed civilization, so we need to ensure our dominance over these savages. On top of that, both of you and I are top among the Ultimate-Class combatants, even though we are barely at the higher ends of the Ultimate-Class in terms of our Energy Reserves. Our Clan Traits are pretty destructive so it will be alright.”
I said to her to lessen her worries.
After two hours, we were finally nearing the shores of the southwestern part of the mainland of Yestera. General Zagan, together with his Army Group 1, should be landing on the southeastern part of the mainland at the same time as us.
“What are those Zeo?”
Asked me, Vena, as I looked through holographic to see tens of thousands of monsters on the shore.
“It is a Voltimeria, a fish monster with a blackish-purple body made of stone. Voltimeria varies from one to two meters in length, have eight fin-like organs, and have a single eye on their forehead. They are able to float up to three meters in the air and charge opponents at high speed. They have incredible endurance due to their stone bodies and are strong enough to destroy heavy armor with their sharp fangs.”
Sounded the voice of the Architect through the ship’s inbuild A.I.
“How is their general strength?”
I said.
“Majority of their species remains its whole life at the Minion Level; some may reach Warrior Level. Usually, the leaders or some mutated ones may reach Commander Level. The overall threat is low. Still, be wary of their numbers; on those shores, there are almost a million of them.”
Responded A.I.
“Use Voidship’s weaponry and wipe them all out. While their individual strength is low, their numbers are rather high, and we are near the sea; they could easily call for reinforcements.”
I commanded as all 7 Lunar-Class Cruisers started redying up their weaponry. Soon enough, shooting from Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries and main cannons were heard, as they fell unto hundreds of thousands Voltimerias and created massive explosions upon the contact.
The entire bombardment took twenty minutes until I got a response from the ship’s A.I. that there were no signs of life below us.
Now, the formerly clean and beautiful beach was full of craters, crimson sand painted from the blood of monsters, and body parts from almost one million Voltimerias.
“Excellent. Now land and order Mechanical Legion to march; we will test the efficiency of the Mechanical Legion in practice.”
I ordered, as one Cruiser landed down, several kilometers away from the beach, where the massacre of monsters commenced, and tens of thousands of Arcane Mechanical Automatons started marching out from the Cruiser.
All of them looked like some kind of insectoid snake, marching in orderly formation until all of them stopped and readied their weapons.
“Architects take direct control. Thirty kilometers from us should be a small tribe of kobolds, numbering around forty thousand, without any General Level. March there, maintain the formation and speed, Cruiser would be covering the sky.”
I said to Architect as suddenly all Mechs started to march in a specific direction, and all Lunar-Class Cruisers were flying above them, occasionally killing a few monsters that were flying in the sky. Usually, some rogue monsters, or even some flocks, but they were killed swiftly.
Soon enough, we reached the kobold settlement. The entire settlement looked like some ruins of the proper village. Still, most humanoids were not intelligent enough to build proper buildings.
A kobold was a reptilian humanoid, standing between 60cm – 75cm tall, weighing between 16 – 20kg, with scaled skin between reddish-brown and black in color and burnt orange to red eyes. Their legs were sinewy and digitigrade. They had long, clawed fingers and a jaw like a crocodile. Small white or tan horns protruded from their head, and they had rat-like tails.
“Pathetic… annihilate.”
As the entire Mechanical Legion of Hydralisk Mechs, I gave out my command and started marching at the settlement. These mechs were brutal and efficient, weak kobolds were no match for mighty mechs and were killed mercilessly, and within the one-hour entire, the settlement was bathing in blood.
