MKP I

"Hear me fellow Sultans." It was the silent sultan who sat at the corner. The sultan increased his voice enough for them to hear but not so loud as to intimidate. And after hearing the familiar voice they halted and was silent.

"Before all of this event and even before the war, during the typhoon. My men and I was inside the forest hunting that day and was trapped by the storm so we sheltered in a cave for the night. But we heard a very loud explosion not far from us and was curious, but we could not get out because of the storm, so we investigated during the morning and we saw this huge white shiny steel like object as big as a full grown hornet. When we got near the object it was damaged from one side and one of my men curiously touched the sparkling protrusions from the broken area but died in shock just like dying from wrath during a storm(referring to lightning). We left and consulted the elders and they say it was from the Gods above, and should be left alone or we would face their wrath. Still I defied the elders suggestions and frequently visited the site from time to time. Until one day when we were camping hidden from the God's object it bore a human inside a weird suit and after that it frequently bore humans and even flying objects. My men were afraid that we would be seen so we observed from a distant and one day, they left with a merchant disguise with even merchant caravans and tamed animals. We could not possible follow them because base on their path, they were aiming outside of the forest. So we decided to observe the God's object but one day my men saw the God's Object came to life and transforming into a Queen Bee, still retaining it's white steel framework but now more lifelike with some of it's parts golden like the Bee."

"Sultan Cyril. You are implying that the humans the God's Object bore was now among the humans in the Ruin, and may have some connection of the recent events?" An old sultan asked while others was processing the information Cyril gave them. It was sudden confession but it may have a big impact of their current dilemma.

"I am saying that, even if the events right now has no relevance to the God's Object. I am feeling that there would be great changes that would occur, and we should react accordingly to these changes if not we would be left behind. If I may be honest, we are already left behind by still hiding in this dark forest cowering. It would be great time to unite and face the unknown."

"Cyril, you might have a point but you are out of bounds. The sultans, are not cowardly as you described, we are waiting for an opportunity. Although you are right that we are behind in terms of wealth, resources and knowledge we are adept in mana strengthening and in combat. During the right time, we could rule over the dark forest and even beyond." The others nodded in agreement and slightly angry towards Cyril who labeled them as cowards.

Because Cyril was one of the most powerful sultans, he was respected but because of his out of the ordinary ideas and proposals, he was always out of place and misunderstood.

"Fellow sultans, if we consolidate our forces right now and attack the Ruin while they are still on the process of settling we will acquire not just crumbs but the whole of their secrets and technology. We are the sultans and even with the recent loss we can still consolidate more forces if we don't hesitate and attack in full force. We would be in advantage because we know the area more than them and my scouts already observed not only their weapons but also their military and most of their forces are divided due to lack of people."

"I will volunteer to lead the consolidated army, and promise equal gains from this venture." The man who opposed Cyril was one of the powerful Sultans and one who is always opposed to the out of the ordinary ideas of Cyril. Other agreed only because they are opposed to the ideas of Cyril even if he have not spoken of any plans yet.

Ruin

{Sire as we predicted, the consolidation happened.} Azraelle who have spy insect drones spying on the meeting reported the event to Zion.

"Now I understand, what you are implying during the time we are still planning in connection with the sultans. Now I can calculate the possibilities and can say that it was perfect timing. And in a year of preparation, they will attack." Zion was now a walking super computer that can calculate and understand Azraelle's reasoning and analysis.

"Rygorn, how was the design of our new weapon going?" Rygorn was asked as he was in the meeting with other military personnel because of the new development.

"Sire, this was what I have proposed and even included this options if we are able to add it to the options." Rygorn showed a data that was projected in the center table as hologram of a suit.

"I call this Mechanized Knight MK I." Rygorn proudly introduced his suit design that was up to the specifics given to him by Zion. As Zion inspected the hologram and the design, he nodded and looked at Rygorn.

"It is impressive design. This claws are perfect for close combat with the sultans and the thick armor is very well thought for extra protection, but I would prefer agility over protection for this kind of design, it would be efficient to be agile while using a claw type weapon." Zion then changed the suit design slightly retaining most of the design and concept of Rygorn.

"Mechanized Knight Panter MKP 1. This will be the new suits that we will develop for now, it is perfect in close combat specially inside the forest, it's capabilities is well suited also for soldiers we currently have. I thank you Commander Rygorn, this design will be under your name and supervision."

Everyone clapped and Rygorn was proud of his work, he was most honored that Zion added his own idea making his design more perfect and suitable.
