Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 210: Elites (3)

While his wives were working Dyon wasn’t lazing around either. In fact, in just 3 months, not only did he conquer his Region completely, he had put plan in place to push forward.

When he returned from the mountain range, he shocked the tribesmen. How could they not react in such a way, the young man they already believed had an army of beasts more powerful than they could imagine came back with eight wyverns!

With this, Dyon’s beast squadron didn’t simply double its power. Each individual wyvern could slaughter the male cobras and bronzed without Dyon’s command. And, even with Dyon’s command, they’d only be able to hold out for a few moments before succumbing to an inevitable death – and that was 1 wyvern against 8 male beasts.

This wasn’t the only thing of importance either. Dyon found 5 total wyvern eggs. The first three were from the now dead female wyvern, but the second 2 were from two separate female wyverns. As a result, Dyon found three total saint grade nurturing piles.

Although the two weaker females could only produce half the saint grade energy the original female wyvern could, it was still more than enough for Dyon’s purposes.

Due to the gentle nature of nurturing pile energies, they were the best suited for priming beasts and humans alike for grasping a type qi. Thanks to that, Queen and the female cobra quickly latched onto saint grade light and bold type qi respectively, causing their strength to increase explosively. Now, even the male wyvern couldn’t stand more than a few exchanges with them.

With the beast squadron at the helm, Dyon’s army waged war through the Region. Despite his explosive increase in strength himself, Dyon didn’t need to lift a single finger.

One might have expected Dyon to first conquer all of the Inferior Upper Tribes, then proceed to the Medial, before finally attack the Superior Upper Tribes. But, this wasn’t the approach Dyon took. He felt that doing such a thing wasted too much time.

Instead, Dyon pushed forward aggressively. After conquering two more Inferior Upper Tribes, he directly assaulted the Medial Upper Tribes, sweeping away them both.

Using the Medial Upper Tribes control over the Inferior Upper Tribes, it was only logical that their subordinates would be swept under Dyon’s control. By extension, the named and numbered tribes under them all also fell under Dyon’s fist.

The battle that ensued with the Superior Upper Tribe wasn’t even worth mentioning.

Dyon had prepared well for them, taking the whole of their subordinate Clans under his wing and organizing and equipping them all, he even took the vanguard of the attack. On top of this, Dyon had planned on using the explosion type stones as a final trump card in case things didn’t go his way. But who knew the mighty Superior Upper Tribe was snap like dead wood.

Despite their having the best warriors and largest population of the Region, the assault of the wyverns was too much for them to handle. There was a reason even they didn’t dare to venture into the mountain range.

In the end, the war of this Region only lasted so long because of the forest terrain and the wild beasts.

In just a single month, Dyon conquered the Region. But, in the following 2 months, the real work began.

The first task was to clear the forest. Obviously, Dyon had no intention of clearing the whole of the forest. Though it might make things more convenient, it made things more convenient for his enemies as well. He had no intention getting rid of so much natural protection.

Instead, Dyon established 5 major cities and 3 major forts.

The forests he cleared were only enough for these cities, while leaving the thickest parts of the forest untouched. What once were impossible to dent ancient trees became frail under Dyon’s new power and the wyverns.

As for the forts, he built two of them directly within these thick forests, taking advantage of the terrain.

The final fort was built within the former territory of the wyverns. There was no reason to give up this territory, so Dyon decided to make use of it as an anchor point. He could make use of it to not only conquer the remainder of the mountain range in due time, once he did conquer the mountain range, he would also have direct access to the next region.

Following this, Dyon split his population which had reached more than 50 000 evenly within the five major cities, ruling them with rules he modified from the Mortal Alliance Laws. He wanted to slowly acclimate them to his leading style because he planned to one day bring them to the Mortal Plane, but he also couldn’t be as lax.

Afterward, Dyon focused on vastly improving the way of life.

He cleared the beasts, chasing them into the thick forests surrounding the two forts. He built deep trenches extending from the murderous water sources to the cities, artificially creating vast networks of rivers and small lakes. And finally, he set laws to protect individual rights. historical

Finally, Dyon began building an army of elites. He couldn’t continue to cobble together tribesmen he conquered. He needed a true army, one he could pour his resources into.

Humans didn’t have the same restrictions as beasts. Namely, they were far more intelligent. As a result, Dyon didn’t need to train them from infancy to gain an instinct for manipulating qi, he could teach them.

By the end of the 3 month period, Dyon had built his army of elites.

1000 male and female warriors, all with qi sensitivity far surpassing that of their peers and strength a single step above even the bull-bird.

Currently, they could only use essence grade qi as Dyon simply didn’t have enough resources to allow them any better. But, Dyon was certain that had he had them from the beginning, conquering this Region would have only taken a few days.

Though they weren’t as powerful individually as the beasts, they had a sharpness only humans could have and a willingness to work together.

Dyon didn’t think it right to give them the same Demon General title. Instead, he gave them another name.

Like this, the Titans were born.
