Two weeks had passed since Slatanis along with his horde lived inside the forest of Gloria. For the past week, the Grim Reapers and the Angels have been building a tower over two square acres.
The grim reapers and angels have been added by Slatanis every day, which was all thanks to the emanation of sufficient Mana in the area around the mountain range so that it made itself able to recover Mana much faster than before. There are currently 1000 Powers, 500 Virtues, 100 Dominions, and 1400 Grim Reapers each of whom is working on building a tower.
Aside from them, Slatanis has also added his Death Knight squad of 8000 personnel to guard its territory and assist others in accelerating the construction of the Tower. Meanwhile, Death Knights were the undead type that were summoned using the [summon low tier undead] spell and they had the highest level in their class, which was 50.
Not only that, from the spell [summon army of the death] also Slatanis had summoned another 10000 undead consisting of 50 undead per army. Within this army were 25 magician Lichs and 25 warrior Death Phalanxes, respectively, and they had level 35 for the lich and 30 for the Death Phalanx.
“Thank God in this place found many excavations of Mana Pores. Because if not ... I wouldn't be able to summon this many troops to get ready in the worst situation if the civil war really broke out,” muttered Slatanis while frowning, frowning, he looked at the soldiers who were working on building a golden tower.
‘Because of my careless act that night, which just came from flying without thinking long, I so have to go along to defend Bellhaven deh, inevitably, fuhhhh, fuhhh,’ thought Slatanis was on the sidelines of it.
Meanwhile, Slatanis along with Shadow Daemon and his Shade were on top of the mountains behind the cultivated land, standing overseeing the construction of a tower that would later become a miracle in Rhea. On top of the mountain range in the middle there is a valley, not only Slatanis and his two shadows, but Olivia is also there.
‘Although we have dug up a lot of Mana pores, but in fact this is still lacking to make me able to open the features of Farland. From there it was discovered that the blood vapors of the monsters were not only of high quality but also of great quantity. Therefore when I defeated the boss monster at Neverhive, I was able to use the Farland feature for a while, even though it was only a short while until finally the blood vapor completely fused with the Mana that was in the air,’ thought Slatanis was looking towards the foot of the mountain while crossing his arms.
Near Slatanis stands a quarry that is not up to a meter deep with an area that is no more than two meters wide. Inside the hole, there was a cluster of brightly lit Mana crystals. While not far from the hole there is also an altar that emits abundant and infinite holy elements.
On top of this mountain, it has been discovered by the angels 14 altars emitting sacred elements, while in each area near each altar there are one to three dug holes where the Mana crystals were found. As far as the eye could see, on both sides of the mountain separated by the valley, there were seven altars each found.
“This will be a show of strength that is far from the reach of human reason, Nyonyaku,” said a heavy voice from the right side of Slatanis. It is the Shadow Daemon.
“True, they will soon realize how low they are, after trying to put you under them,” Shade said with a big smile and was to the left of Slatanis.
“Are you really going against the waldengrace dynasty?” Asked Olivia in her soft voice which was now nearby.
“Hmmm, you don't have to worry about that,” replied Slatanis embracing Olivia who was nearby. Olivia put her head on Slatanis' right shoulder.
‘And if it wasn't for Miasma being so much more than Mana itself in this world, I probably wouldn't have dared to call Undead this much. But sometimes I like to think, will the miasma run out in this world? Which would cause the undead to go mad so they could kill anyone to absorb the miasma from the dead body,’ thought Slatanis was staring blankly at the half-finished Tower.
They also for a moment fixated and only watched the development process from the top of the mountains.
‘Goddess,’ suddenly Brandon's voice sounded from inside Slatanis' mind.
‘Ah, here it is ... the thing I hate to happen again,’ thought Slatanis while he started to remember the past week, which Brandon had contacted him by telepathy for many times.
‘What's up? If it's not something important, then don't call me!’ Said Slatanis through telepathy in an annoyed tone.
‘Ah .. Please forgive me,’ said Brandon. ‘But I have important news for you to know, even though this is bad news. Namely ... soft attacks have failed with the temple suddenly refused to build a temple in the Bellhaven area, even they, as if they were staying away from the worst possible event that would happen to Bellhaven.’
‘Then what about Efrana? Can Winston be persuaded?’ Ask Slatanis back.
‘Undeil and Dorian had been all their might in persuading Duke Elhanan, but he rejected it and chose to be neutral,’ replied Brandon. ‘He even ordered all his subordinate nobles not to interfere in the civil war that might be going on between Bellhaven and Gracehamberd.’
‘I did not think that the king would be this obsessed with getting a powerful witch.’ Slatanis responded again as she released her arms around Olivia.
“What's wrong?” Ask Olivia.
“I was talking to Brandon,” said Slatanis staring at the shade of his sister.
Olivia responded back by tilting her head with a questioning expression, while she heard no words coming out of Slatanis' mouth. He even turned his head towards the two Slatanis shadows that were seen just standing upright and glued behind Slatanis.
‘Hmmm before that, is there any movement from Waldengrace team?’ Ask Slatanist.
‘Then how many troops do they have?’ Ask Slatanist.
‘400 .. ahem, 400,000, Dewi .. about 400,000 soldiers are now camped at the border north of Bellhaven,’ replied Brandon nervously. ‘And that too with the exception of knights and elite troops.’
‘Where do they get a no-no—, it doesn't matter,’ thought Slatanis shook his head.
‘Then, what about the civilians if there is a war going on? Will they be hurt and killed?’ Ask Slatanist.
‘Hmmm, depending on the target of the attacker. If their goal was to exterminate a nation, yes of course they would slaughter civilians as well. But if their goal is to occupy, then I don't think that will happen. Because they still need morale and a high level of trust from civilians to keep running the wheel of life in the region they will sit in later,’ replied Brandon.
‘It also if Waldengrace aims to occupy,’ said Slatanis. ‘Isn't their goal of attacking later just to put me under his order?’
‘It looks like it will inflict a bit of torture casualties, so in my opinion .. better we do not need to think about the victims from civilians,’ Brandon said suddenly in a flat and cold tone.
‘Actually which daemon is me or him anyway?’ Slatanis thought he was still thinking about the fate of civilians who might have an impact on the war.
‘Then go with the bellwyne troupe and some of the nobles who are still loyal to him to the outer edge of the Gloria forest,’ Slatanis said in his Authoritative speech. ‘Then build a camp there and build a defensive wall if necessary and enough time, for I will not mobilize my troops into uncertain areas to help you.’
‘Do you advise us to leave the bellwyne palace and some regions, castles, castles, cities and villages towards the edge of the gloria forest, then survive there?’ Tanya Brandon.
‘True, I want everything centered west of Bellhaven, I don't want my troops scattered in the war,’ Slatanis said. ‘Let those who attack us to one point so that I can finish them off at once.’
‘Good idea, O Goddess, you are truly amazing!’ Praise Brandon with a passionate tone.
‘Then, do it immediately!’ Slatanis's Order.
‘Ready, O Goddess!’ Brandon replied and ended their telepathic session.
‘Yaps, even this plan if it wasn't for Lilith and Raphaela, I wouldn't have thought about it, hehehe,’ thought Slatanis after.
Slatanis recalled four days ago where he asked Raphaela and Lilith for input on how to overcome the battles in the scattered terrain and locations. They both suggested to concentrate the troops to one point, so that the enemy also gather their troops at the same point. So that way, they will be more easily eliminated than having to carry out a protracted war campaign just because of the distance of the terrain and the location of the war.
And so, the Bottleneck operation was initiated.
