Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 297: Morte Bianca And Necron City

Rezar took a cursory look at the stat page for Morte Bianca and the Necron. In all honesty it has been a very long while since he had given this a look, instead focusing on the projects within the city and the threats they faced. He knew the city was experiencing an exponential growth, and as long as he could see it with his eyes he didn't need to worry much about anything else.

It was still the same as when Elysium had undergone a rejuvenation, but be that as it may its display had undergone a lot of changes, along with a lot of things than could be displayed on it. It was a testament of just how far they had come as a city and as a kingdom, much has been achieved, and whether he would want to admit it or not, there was still much more to be gained. And he was willing to fight for every second and gain that would come his way or the way of his people.

It costs a lot to actually train a soldier, especially in this new world that has come to be where gaining power was no longer as simple as walking into a dungeon and leveling up. Now strength will not come to you unless you work really hard for it, and have a more intrinsic and close relationship with all of your abilities. For your power to grow it has to be more than just a simple skill on your skill list.

But be that as it may, Rezar had an army that was 16 thousand strong. And what was really funny about this was the fact that his undead monsters weren't counted as a part of it. He had absolutely not even dipped much of a hand into this pool of fighters but had focused on using his undead in the battle against the snow elves. Even though many of them have grown to the point of gaining sentience and evolving in myriad of ways, the value of the living still far outweighs that of the dead, which was he would always place priority on his living soldiers.

The system not counting them here meant they were seen as a personal resource of his, there was probably a state page he could check to keep a more detailed look on his undead army, but that's something he would handle later. For now, though it seems that everything was okay and well improved. He had no need to move Necron city, but the idea that this city, his home could pick up its foundations and move was beyond amazing.

[Your Majesty, apart from the vast and complex system of tunnels underneath the city that could be considered a city within a city. I discovered an extremely obscure, well detailed and well-crafted secret room by the name of Sanctuary. It's registered in my systems as a national monument as even its secrets are hidden from me. I request permission for a full on scan your majesty]

"Denied!" Rezar said without even a hint of a smile on his face.

[As you wish Master. All my systems are running smoothly, and I am well integrated into the necessary systems neither for monitoring and observing every other function within the city. It seems I will only able to take observatory and maintenance actions within the confines of the capital city. The only other thing I would be able to handle would be the mobility of the city, after express permission from you or an individual of your royal bloodline. I must admit I did not expect this much limitation Master]

Rezar smiled to himself as he struggled and successfully hid the smug grin on his face. When it was obvious to them what sort of existence the Geo-core was, courtesy of the snow elf princess, Rezar had come up with a lot of contingencies should they had succeeded in subjugating the core and bringing it under their control should they have also failed to destroy it.

But Rezar was also the very definition of paranoid; especially when it came to his enemies and their tools. He made a few adjustments to the nation's arch, making sure all functions worked on an independent circuit that was operated and carried out by people as opposed to being automated. He refused to let the city run itself, so rather the people within it would be responsible for doing that, creating more jobs and opportunities for his citizens as opposed cramming every willing participant into the military.

Besides, every soldier within the Morte Biancan military were elites capable of taking on five opponents of their own power and rank at the same time. Not just anyone could join them. the consciousness of the Geo-core was much too sophisticated to be trusted or left alone. It was born from a dungeon but yet it was able to pit Rezar against its own creators, bringing a painful end to the snow queen's reign of terror and removing itself from the influence of the dwarves.

Even if it didn't have a body or a face for Rezar to look at and Judge, Rezar had a skill that let recognize or noticed when someone wished him evil. His E.M.P skill has been going haywire ever since the Geo-core suggested a battled between Rezar and the snow elf queen. Its power was too great to be left to the enemies, and in light of being unable to destroy it without putting his entire civilization at risk, Rezar had to find a way to get it under control, he was really glad his prior preparations were not for nothing.

Now they had to run damage control with Sillomere. With the queen now out of the equation, there were definitely going to be people who would want to take advantage of the conflict to get some gains, but that was neither here nor there because there was still a wild tribe army and an army of undead led by fucking clergy men and death class holders heading in his direction. The snow elf queen really gave him pause with her application of the Geo-core.

Even if things didn't go according to her plans, it was still quite a weapon of mass destruction. But now it was no longer in play and completely off the board. He would have to meet the rest of his enemies on the battlefield, or come up with other ways to halt their advances or stop them completely, but that was easier said than done, but never the less it seems the time where the ferociousness of the Morte Biancan army would be unleashed was drawing close.

The remaining construction projects would continue to remain halted, as it stood this was the better step for his kingdom. And with the defeat of the snow elves, as soon as his undead sack the capital city of sillomere, it automatically becomes a part of Morte Biancan territory, and that would probably happen in a few days.

After that he would have to march his army through the Kerwood forest and past their borders. Right now the wild tribe were not his most pressing problems as those nomads would probably run around some before they end up in front of his doorstep. So he had time, and frankly speaking he would very much not like to have anyone of his two biggest problems come knocking on his door. So before they get to him, he would take the fight to them.

But there was a problem, to get to the theocracy and their army of the dead he had to go through two other territories before coming to a stretch of barren land in the middle of Kerwood forest that runs from the sea in the west, all the way past the great plains to the great desert in the east. He could be backstabbed, or he could conquer them instead and make them a part of Morte Bianca to secure his rear and not have to worry about betrayal.

Rezar nodded his head and turned around to leave when all of a sudden he noticed a man on his knees with his head bowed in respect and supplication. Rezar noticed how his body shivered, and how his grey hair seemed to flicker and dance with the soft caresses of the wind.

"Your Majesty, I have failed you and I'm not worthy of your mercy! Please punish me with death for being unable to carry out my duty to you." Rezar cocked his head to the side and only said one word.

"Priest!"
