"Thank you, Archduke Agares, now the next one to speak will be Lord Mephisto Pheles."
Stated Grayfia as Archduke Agares sat down on his seat after he finished his report.
"Thank you, High Chancellor. Now to start, we have been drafting plans for mass-production of Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries and Arcanotech Towers to fortify every city completely so that it could be defended easily in times of attack or siege. Construction of Mechanical Factories is going smoothly, and initial phase would be completed within one month, while next phase would take at least two years."
Said Lord Mephisto about the much-needed fortification of cities.
Currently, most cities of Baator are utterly vulnerable to attacks. Only some like Lucifaad had some magical defenses, but even they weren't anything significant.
So, every city needed to have Arcanotech Towers, creating protective formation, runic walls around the entire city, mounted with Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries that would provide at least a basic level of defense.
And this was only elementary level.
When completed, Lucifaar od better Anor Londo would be unpenetrable even if it got attacked by several Albions and Ddraigs. Imperial Capital needed to be as fortified as possible, as it will house headquarters of all Magisteriums and Military Branches. Something logical as it was a Throne City.
"What about the expansion of the Voidfleets?"
I asked as I looked at Lord Mephisto as he was temporal Magister of Arcanotechnology and my father-in-law Gerstahl Lucifuge, Lord High Admiral of Voidfleets.
Voidfleets would be crucial in the Astral Boundary, as traveling by Voidship was the easiest way of crossing Astral Boundary, and in planar conquest, Voidships and their equivalents were priceless and could decide how the war would end.
Of course, it was possible by traveling through Astral Gate by opening a trans-dimensional portal, but they required a higher amount of energy compared to the energy consumption of voidship, and Astral Gates often precious resources necessary to be constructed.
In Astral Boundary, Warlock often used alchemy voidships to suppress thousands of worlds, and Arcanists were the same. Other civilization and species had their own voidships, as voidship was mighties Warmachine in the Astral Boundary.
"That is rather problematic; without exploring Dimensional Gap further, we cannot begin construction Voidfleets on a large scale. Constructing Mechs and Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries is a different story, as they actually don't require many resources, but voidships are a different story. I have thought about exploring Draconic Deus, the space around it. While it would lack or have in small quantities precious ores and resources, it should be enough to expand our forces several times."
Answered Gerstahl Lucifuge as I pondered about it.
Draconic Deus actually included the entire galaxy around it. The reason, why I was a bit reluctant, was that it probably won't have many precious ores such as Adamantium, Mithril, Orichalcum, Imperial Gold, Stygian Iron, or Vibranium due to lack of Magical Participles, they were really low in Draconic Deus and entire Galaxy.
But it was the only possible choice.
"Then start sending Voidships packed with Drones to mine resources on Mars. If it proves to be profitable, we can start mining resources in all worlds of our Solar System and slowly mine the entire galaxy. Have you found some intelligent life when you were doing scans of the Draconic Deus?"
I said as I finished with a question.
"Yes, we have found two space-faring civilizations, completely technological based. Annihilation protocol would be implemented, and their races would be exterminated for resources."
Said Lord High Admiral of Navy.
"Good, but preserve their knowledge."
I had a weird fetish for collecting knowledge of factions or civilizations I have destroyed, and I had a relatively simple reason for that. Even with all-time in existence, one person couldn't know everything, so I have started collecting pieces of knowledge of my foes.
In each one I have collected would be something new that was unknown to me. Usually, it would stem from the unique circumstances of local faction, culture, needs, power system, or something else.
Even in my past life, I have collected an entire database of civilization knowledge that belonged to annihilated species by the Solar Federation.
In truth, it was a common practice used by Solar Federation. When we have defeated and exterminated enemy Xenos, the first thing we searched weren't resources but rather data banks with knowledge. Then they were implemented into our own, advancing our technology by leaps and bounds.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Said both Lord Mephisto Pheels and Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge.
"Diablo, how the process of recruitment is going?"
I asked as I looked at my Captain-General of Adeptus Custodes. Many people were really uneasy around him, especially the fanatical zeal he held towards me; god knows why not that I complain.
He was competent, from what I have found during this week, and was fantastically loyal.
"The process is going smoothly. The first batch of 1,000 Recruits would be ready within the next one year, but reaching the standard of Custodian would need at least 15 after the surgery."
Said Diablo as he bowed to me, and I nodded my head.
The Standart strength of the Custodian was set to Ultimate-Class. Devils had a lot of Ultimate-Class devils, but many of them were only in early stages and were rather weak. So Diablo needed to train them, strengthen them and teach them.
While at the same time making them fanatically loyal.
I predict that within a century, I would have 1,000 Ultimate-Class Custodians, that are at higher levels of the Ultimate-Class. And all of them would be Dual Classes, in Demonic Energy as in Physique.
From these recruits, the majority were of High-Class, and only 70 or so were Ultimate-Class. Most would need to reach that level within the next ten to fifteen years.
Trans-Devil Gene-Seed would be implanted into them after reaching pinnacle High-Class. It was found out, that the Trans-Devil Gene-Seed had the best chance to accommodate with the body when the subject was at the High-Class if we are talking about the generalized version.
