The Great General

Baltik City (Banawe Kingdom)

The news that the royal army is currently manning the Snow Fort peaked the curiosity of neighbor cities that is why as they investigated, they learned of the death of the Famous General and Arche Duke of Luxlor Kingdom. It was a great loss for the kingdom but because Gregor was just recently loss not long ago, their kingdom could not exploit these loss from the enemy and opted to focus on healing first.

"AHAHAHAHA...That fool, betrayed by his own people. I should have been the one to take you life but this is more amusing revelation." Gregor Melroy laughed hysterically after knowing of the faith of his sworn enemy.

The news was wide spread not only to Luxlor but to other kingdoms. Some of them who knew the situation of the general pity him, some others hate. But it is not to be denied that he was looked upon by many, not only the soldiers but the people that are subject to him and even those other that wish they could have a great monarch like Sigmond. Not only his ability on the field of war and tactics but his wisdom and knowledge of ruling the people that elevated him to be one of the great generals.

He was strict of rules, Loving to those oppressed and understanding Ruler, He listens well to the people and does not allow corruption and abuse to people. He was well trained by his father not only to rule but to be a valiant protector of the people. And no matter how he died, the people will still remember not his death but the journey he made all throughout his service to the people. The Great General Arch Duke Sigmond Rygorn.

Dark Forest Ruin

Thousand of tents and camps were made at an abandoned ruin somewhere in the forest. Though the ruin was swallowed was already swallowed by the forest, no matter what the reason of the place ruin, evidence shows that it was a busy and lush city in the past.

"Sire, how will we address all the needs of the people. there are almost 10 thousand soldiers, and 25 thousand normal citizens" Kumar asked as he was assigned to oversee public order and safety just like the police.

"As I have ordered before, we will stay here for two weeks and wait for Azraelle to finish her preparations. You will soon know what we have planned." During the completion of upgrade, Zion already formulated plans of the future base on the possibilities the new upgrades have. The unfortune brought by Sigmond to his subjects was somehow a blessing in disguise, it allowed his plan to be executed sooner.

Flashback

{Sire, your plan to establish a settlement is very difficult although we can produce and work for our resources slowly, it would be an arduous task. We need more man power in the beginning to fully establish an autonomous city and be independent.:}

"Azraelle, have you forgotten about the politics in the capital. The duke will be our key in this plan." Zion smirked.

Dark Forest Ruin (Present)

At noon a buzzing sound was heard at the horizon, the noise slow elevated while the silhouette at the horizon slowly become visible. "BEAST, FLYING BEAST" The soldiers shouted at the revelations. One large bee like beast was fast approaching together with medium size bee.

"Prepare for battle" One of the captains shouted as all the soldiers lined up to deflect the incoming beasts but a familiar voice was heard shouting.

"SETTLEDOWN, THERE IS NO DANGER, THE BEAST IS WITH US." Although their new ruler Zion commanded, the soldier is still hesitant to settle down.

One Huge bee like beast carry a a chrysalis as huge as the large bee, while the other medium and small bee was the same. Some small and flimsy tents was blown away by the gush of wind produced by the bee's wings and after hovering for a second it found an empty spot and drop the baggage slowly then landed themselves.

And when the bees landed without them being harmed, the soldiers and people started to relax and shifted to become curious. Zion on the other hand was joyous of the event. He approached the Large Bee and observed it carefully together with Lent and Kumar.

"Its the pod..." exclaimed Kumar as he identified the Large Bee as their pod. Approximately 15 feet tall, 15 feet wide, 45 feet long pod shaped like a chrysalis of the past evolved into a bee like beast. The head along with its huge eyes and antenna was moving like being alive, but its body was made of some kind of lightweight steel material, some parts seems like carbon and others non living materials.

"Azraelle, if what you have reported was right. And you can already combine artificial and organic to form another lifeform. Could I assume that we can also design and create a lifeform base on our own will?" {Exactly sire, even as we speak I am still analyzing and calculating the possibilities.} "Alright, before we go further. I will calm and organize the soldiers and people first." Zion was excited but he needs a lot of explaining to do with the captains and representatives.

At the center of the Ruin settled the Royal Pod along with the medium size Pods which is created from the royal pod. which they renamed it as Queen Bee Pod and the medium size ones called Drone Bee Pods while the remaining are worker bees.

Queen Bee Pod: Carrier/Factory/Research Facility/ and it was the temporary command center for Zion's group. The head part contains the brain/Computer and all forms off communication. The Thorax works as Zion's group shelter and personal research facility, While the abdomen serves as the factory, carrier and everything else.

Drone Bee Pod: Storage/Carrier/Research Facility: It is an upgradable bee that serves as resource facility to support the Queen Bee Pod in manufacture.

Worker/Soldier Bee Pods: Small Carrier/Storage/Defender: They gather, observe, and armed with weapon to defend in case of emergency.

Chrysalis: It is premade from the Queen Bee Pod and from there it will develop on its own with the help of upgraded Nanobots which is now they call PCO(Programable Cybernetic Organism). Depending on the size and shape, it will form into any bee form.
