39 The Fury of Isvan

The morale of the doctors was low and Julian dismissed them back to their prior activities. He held the box of spatial rings in his hands and searched their contents. " Good God! "

An entire legacy of a once proud People sat firmly in his hands, innumerable spiritual stones, weapons of all grades, several tons of hundreds of rare materials, Skill books, cultivation manuals, food and alchemy recipes, arrays, Every fiber of knowledge owned by the Eula People was now his. A deep guilt weighed him down and he teleported to his room and began to sort all the items. In the last spatial ring was piles of weapons but on top was a dead body with a weapon that was wrapped in cloth. When his mind interacted with ring itself a psychic shadow of Dravot appeared and relayed his final message. " My people originally planned to reward you with a legendary Warhammer for your services but as you know we are all gone now. amidst the chaos I found this legendary warhamer near the corpse of a Walla Venerable, I hope it is to your liking :) "

The shadow faded and Julian pulled the hammer out of the ring and held it in his hands

[ Mountain Slayer peak Legendary Grade ]

A warhammer made from the Core of an Immortal King Spider Beast mixed with Mithral and Wallium alloy. Forged by the divine Blacksmith Reza Ironhide in the heart of an erupting volcano. Fire and ice abilities are enhanced when wielding this weapon.

The walla Race was about 4 feet taller and much bigger in overall size compared to humans so the Warhammer was taller than Julian and incredibly heavy. He Injected his Qi into the weapon and its weight and size changed to better fit himself. He spun the weapon around a couple times and had a good first impression before he put it away in his inventory.

For the next couple of hours People came and collected the items he organized and soon the entire legacy had been organized and stored. Out of all the High grade abilities and skills he gained only a couple caught his eye and they were Heaven grade and above. Two of them were even legendary grade, one peak and one low grade legendary skill.

Julian bought the skills with kill points and tested them out in a empty room below his home and in a small lake nearby.

Later on in the day new information about Hathan came to him. King James had Annexed Hathan under the name of the Imperium and was now in talks with the local Zavalla leaders to sell off the territory which was now sandwiched by the Demon Race and Zavalla empire. Unlike the previous deal Julian made with them though the citizens of Hathan would stay in the region under guard from the zavalla forces. This was likely to help re colonize the abandoned land east of hathan which was now under zavalla control. Afterall empty land was nothing but a burden to the Zavalla Army.

A couple days later after everything had been sorted and copied Julian sat on the edge of his bed holidng a sword King style manual and clicked merge on a screen in front of him. The book was sucked up by nano particles and a loading symbol popped up on the screen. After 5 long minutes of waiting the loading symbol disappeared and a new name appeared.

[ The Drunk God Style Peak Legendary Grade ]

" Epic!! "

The outcome made no sense to him considering the rank of the original skill but he didn't question the good things.

Skills and abilities that automatically imparted battle knowledge were a live saver quite literally since he was still mostly inexperienced in fighting, he did come from a relatively peaceful world after all.

He sat on his bed and used his new expert Building glove and walked to his empty cupboards and began building nice glass cups and and Mugs as well as wine glasses, bowls and plates. It barely took 5 minutes to fill up the cupboards, next he built other home items like decorative items and a comfy chair to sit on. A headache suddenly came to him which was surprising considering his cultivation. He tried to drink water and booze to ease the pain but it was not working, annoyed he opened up the kill shop and to his surprise and joy there was a bottle of 600mg Ibuprofen pills and Tylenol as well as a couple other pain relievers. The whole concept of the Kill shop made him feel guilty as he could buy anything from his home world at the cost of sentient lives. such a thing would have shocked him before but now he felt like it was just another trip to the store. a whole bottle cost 10 lives and he took 2 pills, his past self warned him not to take too much but his present self decided his body could handle a measly 1200mg of ibuprofen. He chugged the pills with some golden wine and sat down next to the item creator in his room. High Graded natural soul stones started to get pumped out and he absorbed them as he sat still on the new comfy chair he made.

Fighting with a chaos God and winning was no easy feat, the cost of victory was great. Besides the fact that he had a killer headache his mind was jumbled up a bit. He had cleared himself from his nightmares but now he suffered from Flashbacks of the Chaos realm. Every couple of minutes an image of Votis flooded his mind and a sharp pain stabbed his mind. An entire year passed by in the blink of an eye as Julian desperately healed his mind from the World shattering Psychic battle.

By the time Julian had fully healed the Imperium had grown to a point where the Current Ai could no longer manage the empire alone and had requested for additional Ai which caused the System to give Julian a new quest.

[ Deal with The Sand Demon sect ]

Reward: Current Ai will automatically create a clone of themselves as soon as they feel they cannot handle the load themselves for 10 Trillion M.V.

Failure: growth stops

He felt a lot better and teleported to the south of his lands where the Sand Demon sect was located.

On a peak to the east of isvan in the unclaimed part of the Isvani Mountain range within the Iron hills territory stood a Dwarf Commander and a legion of troops. His name is Commander Vykez and his 17th legion had a very special and highly confidential mission. They were escorting a mad scientist Named Ned.

" Commander Vykez my plan is almost complete, Once the Great Repelling Wall is complete I shall unleash my latest experiments on the weak humans. "

Commander Vykez looked down into the valley at the caged beast and a hint of uneasiness moved down his body, he was a proud Golden immortal and could easily kill the beast inside but he had seen what horrors it was capable of committing. They could not control it so they had to spend a fortune constructing a high leveled array wall that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles north and south. Thinking of the insane amount of labor and money that went into this crazy project Vykez silently cursed his corrupt leaders. Not only were they working with the Vile Demon Race to the south west. They were allowing such a madman to exist. Vykez let out a deep sigh and relied to the mad scientist in front of him.

" Yes in 20 minutes the last peice of the wall will be put into place and the array will fully activate. Once that is done my men will release the beast and dump 500,000 pounds of meat inside like you requested.... If I may ask Sir, how fast will that beast reproduce? "

" Good question Commander, I have no fucking idea, it all depends on how much food and danger is present in its area. With all that food and your legion present I believe it will reproduce insanely fast, likely 10,000 offspring an hour and that's with only one queen, it may or may not create more hehehehe "

disturbed by his answer the Commander sighed again and again as the time slowly passed by. The wall was completed and the food was dumped inside and the soldiers watched with horror as the uncaged beast created more than one mouth to eat all the meat while simultaneously pumping out weird pale white eggs. Within a day's time the single beast was now over a hundred queens and close to a million Workers bringing in more food from the surroundings. The sheer efficiency and speed of reproduction was scary to everyone but was joyous for the scientist.

On the Eastern outskirts of the Walled off city a civilian searching for precious minerals ran into a strange beast he had never seen before. He had A glock for protection but before he could draw his weapon a second beast hiding behind him jumped and dragged him into the bush, Muffled screams filled the forest and the man was consumed in a matter of seconds. Another day passed by and the wife Of the man filed a missing person's report to the Isvan Goverment. They lived in a small villa right behind the outer wall and farmed corn alongside a thousand others. Her husband had responsibilities to attend to and he brought no survival gear with him so it was unlikely he decided to stay out overnight. A special squad of 20 Cultivators and hundreds of Krieg bots made a search party, They looked for 2 whole days until they finally found his blood coverd watch hanging from a tree. When the watch was given to the wife she fell to her knees and tears began to fall down her purple face. The farmers who lived around her came around and comforted her as she held her stomach looking at the only photo she had of her husband. She thought she had finally found her happiness in life but life had a different plan. A couple of Rank 1 Spiritual beasts were killed and searched but they could not find any traces of the man, not even his blood or footprints. The search team was enlarged and for a week they searched every nook and cranny of the Isvanni mountain range within the Blue sun Borders.

The death sparked fear in the Eastern population and the Ai Began to implement radar systems into the outer and inner wall. a day passed by and the a radar system capable of seeing everything in 2,000 miles was created. it's first beat confused the man behind the screen.

" This must me a mistake, Captain! I need you over here! "

The caption was a mechanic and was briefed on all the radar was capable of and how to work it. When he saw the screen a sharp sense of urgency filled his heart, Without hesitation he ran across the room and slammed a big red button. An alarm spread from his fortress to each and every fortress along the Eastern front. Krieg bots flooded out of underground compartments and lined the Wall in the hundreds of Thousands. The artillery batteries and machine gun holes started up and waited for the enemy to be identified and enter within range. Aircraft and Armored vehicles were deployed in the thousands across the front and the Western side of the city began to respond as well. The entire Army was now on the move east including a majority of the cities miltary cultivators.

Within 10 minutes all the Forts on the Eastern front were picking up millions of large beasts moving west, north and south. Scouts confirmed each one to be the size of a truck and the Empire shifted to WAR Status.

The Highlords, machine lord's and the 5 generals of the Imperial army and 5 admirals of the Imperial navy met together in isvan city.

The room was built for all 8 groups but only the 4 military groups were inside at this very moment.

" Thank you all for coming on such short notice, As you were all briefed on your way here we will get right into it. The entire Eastern force has been deployed along the outer wall and all mounted weapons on the wall are active and fully powered. Gary I was told you have already calculated the total expenditures for the entire wall. "

Gary stood up and handed out newly made documents to all of the men in the room.

" The ammunition cost per minute across the entire Eastern Defense line will be 134 billion M.V. His majesty the Emperor is busy in the south and has asked us to end this as quickly as possible due to the high cost. "

He sat down and Victor resnov the lead General of the Imperial Navy stood up and Motioned to a large black and white TV screen. " The majority of the Air force is currently taking off from the cavern below the core of Isvan. Within a day and a half they will arrive above the sky of the Battlefield. During this time 200 trillion M.V will be expended for ammunition alone. His majesty has also set aside 1 billion HQ spiritual stones for recovery of our cultivator force. The cultivator force will be divided into long ranged and close combat, I will take over long range cultivators and they will ride the B-17 bombers. Ahigo Wlad lead of the Imperial Army will take control of the close combat Cultivators and station them along the wall as he sees fit. "

He stepped down and high lord Anthony baker stepped up.

" An emergency notice has been broadcast across the entire Eastern farm land calling for immediate evacuation. Within a day's time all citizens will be within the inner wall away from the fight, Worker bots will take over their duties and tend to the fields for now. As Gary and the rest of the Machine lord's have reached the Ascension Realm they will lead their forces from the front line while the rest of us will lead from inside the Fortresses. Former King James has been notified and is on his way back from bahee city, within half a day he will join the front lines along with the rest of his royal guard. Do to the sheer size of the Isvani Mountian range none of our land vehicles In Western Isvan will make it there within a week so we have opted for the expensive but quick path and have mass produced spatial rings and given them to soldiers to transport empty tanks,Kreig bots and worker bots. The emperor has personally told me through a Telepathic message that he will arrive back home in 2 days to help deal with the enemy, until then we must hold and show him that we are worthy to call ourselves his followers. "

While the 19 men talked about information the enemy came close and closer and within an hour they were only 200 miles away. The artillery batteries locked on and began to fire shell after shell indefinitely.

The scouts ahead reported back that the Artillery fire was effective but now the horde of beasts were charging forward at triple the speed they were before. Each bombardment killed over ten thousand different beasts across the front and after an hour the charging horde made it within 30 miles of the wall and every human atop the wall became tense. As far as the eye could see monsters appeared and died while moving closer and closer. Scouts reported that smaller beasts running under the larger beasts were collecting the bodies of the fallen and taking them away quickly. When the horde reached within 10 miles the millions of Machine guns across the wall began to fire and the beasts dropped like flies. The tanks and krieg bots began to fire and the bombers in the sky flew above the horde and dropped payload after payload onto the Never ending horde.

An hour into the battle a few strong stragglers made it to the bottom fortifications in front of the wall and destroyed a couple hundred krieg bots and several tanks but died quickly after. 2 hours into the battle the first Human casualty was reported and he became a martyr for all the troops present. 5 hours in and the casualties reached the thousands but the enemy had lost over a couple million. The officials were concerned as they saw the dead get pulled back and the horde never ended. When the information was sent to Julian in the south he sent back a possibility that shocked everyone.

" If they are taking the dead back and they are never ending it might be possible that they are consuming the dead to create new soldiers. Change the scope of the battle, this is not something we can take lightly. Send scouts deeper in and find their home, once you do that. Move the entire Army to the Front and launch a blitzkrieg into the enemy force. Keep the machines at the front and the humans at the back. War is upon us on two fronts, I will deal with the south and you must deal with the east. Good luck my comrades! I will be back soon!!! "

His order and information sent the entire Imperium into a New state of all out war. The highlords rallied the Golden sects and sent out Psychic messages to the Zavalla Psykers asking for aid. Dozens of powerful clans had made Very lucrative deals with Julian so when the Plea for help was made the Peoples court in charge while the Emperor was in Seclusion chose to Help The Imperium of man in their war.

A day into the war Two Seperate Armies from the Zavalla empire arrived in Imperium lands. The First army under the control of City lord Ratliff was sent to the north of the Eastern front while The army under City lord Bahall moved to the southern front. Together they fought back the Hordes of beasts and kept them Contained. It was at this moment Julian far to the south realized a dark truth. Every Human who died fighting for him counted as Human kills and progressed his mechanic level.
