Inside the now empty cavern sat Julian. To his surprise the cavern was perfectly flat, perfect for construction. The seven suns territory had np actual ruler so he wanted to set up a factory fortress here. With such a place the expansion into the eastern regions of the seven suns territory would be a piece of cake. In the following days he received messages from Evan about building a wall along the entire northern and western border. This would require a massive shift of worker bots from his current project so he told Evan to fuck off for the meantime. This action caused some problems but they were easily solved. a week later he finally completed the blueprint of the base.
The next day Julian returned to Isvan and rested before continuing the PERQ procedures. Day after day he spent creating his own super soldiers. His goal was 1 million but that would take forever at his current pace so he searched for a solution. Within the item store he found a stamina potion. It cost an absurd amount of M.V. but it was exactly what he needed so he hurried to increase his M.V. production to keep up with his new expensive project.
with the help of the potion he transformed 12 soldiers a day. once transformed these men and women of the imperium would depart there homes forever and enter into the most brutal yet most effective training regime humanity had to offer. The harshest trainers and greatest warriors humanity had to offer were brought in to train these new Warriors. Each individual soldier consumed so many elixirs that an entire mountain worth of matter had to be consumed daily just to provide for them. Some of the mines he started to the south of Isvan had nearly reached the great true fire lava stream. Each mine was bigger in diameter than the island of New York from his homeland. The first mine rivaled the state of New Mexico in sheer diameter and made the famed Kola Superdeep borehole in Russia look like a puny hornets nest.
After a year of this 4 Super soldier regiments had been established with a 5th still in the works. half way through the year when he finished his 2nd regiment he came up with a name for his super soldiers, The Imperial Angels.
While Julian was in seclusion he hoped that his love would visit him but it was strange. She didn't visit him once during this long year. He was worried but he hadn't received any negative notifications about her so he figured she was busy with imperial duties in Zavalla. In reality she was put under house arrest by Evan who planned for her to marry the son of a prominent sect leader within the Zavalla empire. Oblivious to this plan Julian continued with his projects in Isvan.
....
Within the grand meeting room of the southern Warrior gods sect sat the sect leader and Evan along with Dozens of sect leaders from Zavalla.
" ill go over the plan once again. The northern sects will take on the western flank while myself and the southern sects along with the warrior gods sect attack from the north. "
Evan stood up and all the men and women in the room followed him outside. Not all of them like Evan and some even secretly supported Alex and the newly founded imperium. Despite their personal feelings they couldn't under any circumstance refuse a war order from the Emperor himself. Plus the honor of retaking the occupied lands to the south was something they could hardly pass on.
The demons occupational strength had dropped severely the past year after the Orks launched a crusade into the heart of the Black Rock territory. Such an opportunity would likely not come again so with a single order from Evan the Zavalla empire's Military supported by the sects and the Imperium's Airforce launched the Historic Damascus Crusade!
Unlike the second great Raknid war the Imperium's air force did not participate for free this time. Since he couldn't take over the Zavalla empire as of now he decided to instead milk it while he sat and grew ever stronger. While the imperium grew richer it didn't buy much from the Zavalla empire so Evans royal coffers dimmed more and more every day. If he were to halt the trade between the two nations the internal strife would likely shatter his right to rule the empire and bring endless ruin. This stressful truth made Evan come to a conclusion. The profoundly profitable business of war would be his saving grace. In the heart of the occupied lands stood the ancient ruins of one of humanities greatest cities ever to exist. The holy city of Kosovo. Within was the mythical Damascus Vault said to hold the untold wealth of a grand duke of the long forgotten United merchant federation. Thanks to the terrific sacrifices of many scouts The combined forces learned that this vault was intact. Clearly the ancient human seals set on the vault were too great for the wretched demons to crack. ' Those fucking merchants sure do love their money '
Evan mounted his war beast and made his way to the front of the army. " Move out! " his command echoed across the plains and the ground shook beneath the heels of his grand army. for the first time in millennia. The grand army of the Empire marched to war!
As his army neared the border he felt several powerful Aura's lock onto his position and within the next couple of seconds several golden immortal demons appeared in the skies above the current border.
" another human lord dares tread upon our lands. Your dying race has become quite bold. "
" These humans look like they have come for a fight! lets give it to them. "
The third demon pulled out a horn made from the bones of a true dragon from the east. The moment he blew into it the clouds in the sky and around the horizon Dispersed immediately. The ground trembled and the faces of the lower rank soldiers scrunched up. Within a minute an army of demons numbering more than 10 million arrived with far more still on the way. Each golden immortal activated an old battle formation called the devils horn formation. the 10 million or so average soldiers of the army connected their energies together and 3 towering minotaur's stood between the occupied lands and the grand Army of the empire.
Evan quickly mobilized the entirety of his army into a single Roman god Formation. A giant golden figure clad in blue spiritual flames depicting a roman centurion. The blue flames above his head burned brightly and the giant unsheathed a large jade sword Known as the Sword of Vasanni. This weapons appearance brought the oldest of the 3 demons to a stark realization. he quickly analyzed the center of the formation where Evan was and hurried to turn to his brothers.
Evan noticed the movements of the eldest demon and before he could act Evan activated two ancient relics ' The white bell of time ' and ' gods trap ' Both had fancy names but they more than deserved them. each one was a peak legendary grade spiritual weapon bordering the mythical rank. The minitour the eldest demon was controlling stopped in its tracks and the Sword of Vassani tore through its abdomen breaking apart the formation and vaporizing all the demons within. The eldest demons life saving treasure activated and he began to teleport away but not before Gods trap activated and cancelled his teleportation. The centurions left hand clutched onto the blade and both hands swung the blade skywards splitting the demon in two. The other two demons reacted quickly and the jade sword clashed against two earth shattering axes. The golden muscles along the arms of the centurion bulged and the blue fire raged as the Giant pushed back the two Axe's knocking both titans back. The youngest demon was knocked further which gave Evan an opportunity to slice the nearest minitour in half.
Julian who was watching the battle through a flying drone spilled his popcorn in amazement. Those were the same demons who previously trapped him so watching them die so helplessly was very satisfying. Julian's laziness over took him and he started to put together the ultimate gift for Evan. he put together a multitude of different high tier elixirs along with many rank 7 and 8 beast cores. His change in attitude was rash but all the kills brought about by Evans slaughter only served to rank him up. Ever since that fateful hand shake all the actions of Evan brought him numerous rewards. Each dead titan caused his EXP bar to skyrocket and his blood to boil with excitement! The best part of this all was the items these demons carried were given to Julian when they died. Julian tossed aside his old plans and instead decided to use this new card of his to its absolute Limit!
