[State: War]
For a mont, the War between the Granians and Ethisians ca to a temporary halt, giving the two sides a chance to regain what they lost and strengthen their armies, battalions, and weaponry.
In such preparations, one could notice the amounts of enemy ships moving across the Galaxy in search of minerals, resources, and War slaves needed for the production of ships, weaponry, bases, fortresses, and other things used/needed in War.
The Ethisians, the only ones capable of going toe-to-toe with the Granians, had stumbled upon a poison used by their Yrrejite allies which had managed to cause tissue damage to one of the Humans who was a slave to the Granians.
Upon this discovery, plans were made to have said poison mass-produced, despite how difficult it was to retrieve it from the source. Nonetheless, the Ethisians weren’t going to let such a difficulty stop them from achieving their goal. They felt obligated to defeat the Granians once and for all, not just for them but for every other species in Akrina that was tornted and tortured by said Granians.
For that reason, the Ethisians made sure to invest their resources into anything and everything that would help them win the battle.
While the Ethisians invested their ti and energy in gathering resources they saw fit, their enemies, the Granians, began strategizing and plotting their next moves, signaling the start of the War as they knew it.
For weeks, the Granians remained at a standstill directly at the border separating their territory from the Ethisians. This strategy was well known across Akrina and was often used as a sign to other species that a War was about to break out.
Now under new managent, the Granians, now commanded by Lord Gravax, had taken up new strategies with a few mbers earning new positions while others were stationed among other fleets.
Since Gravax and his army of twenty thousand units were the ones charged with leading the attack, he opted to keep the strongest Humans with him while sending the other three elsewhere. According to his own judgnt, the Granian kept Ace and Jim within his forces while positioning Anya, Skyler, and Cherry with the soldiers assigned to follow Gravax and his forces imdiately.
Aside from stationing soldiers and the Humans, Gravax had indulged himself and his soldiers in tedious hours of training with Eneraflux and cloning
The Granian, impressed by the Yrrejites and their mastery of the cloning arts, had invested so much of his ti and effort in cloning his own troops. To a certain extent, the new Lord had beco so imrsed in the act that he nearly lost sight of what was important. If it weren’t for the frustrations that ca with his constant trial and error, the Granian would have gotten so lost in trying to clone his own kind and lost his new position as Lord faster than he got it.
Thankfully, there was another who, in Gravax’s eyes, exceeded even the Yrrejites in his cloning abilities. The Blood Bishop, Ace Underwood, beca the Granian’s new study material for he was able to create clones solely from blood without the use of any machinery or complex chemicals.
This process, though simple, was beyond impossible for the Granian to comprehend all at once but that wasn’t going to stop him just yet. Instead of pestering and nagging the Human to show him how to clone, the Granian instead decided to watch and observe how Ace conjured, crafted, and commanded all his clones starting from the Blood Clones, to the Soulbound DreadWalkers, to the Scarlet Army.
Now putting that aside, it was ti for the Granians to comnce with their attack, sothing that would have begun a long ti ago had it not been for the careless and selfish failures of the forr Lord.
Hoping to rectify Grim’s mistakes and surpass him, Gravax made sure to perform a little higher while keeping the Black Claw by his side acting as an advisor. The forr Lord, now on the sa rank as Grand Master, was now forced to reveal all of his strategies, tactics, and battle tricks/habits to his new Lord under the commandnt of Lord Grania himself.
Failure to do so ant imdiate banishnt for the Granian and most likely, the death of his unborn child. For that reason, Grim spilled every trick, every secret, and every tactic he knew in hopes that he’d be reunited with his mate and child perhaps after the War had ended or sowhere in its climax.
"All our troops are at the border and have been stretched evenly. Our defenses are practically impenetrable with more troops joining in as the days go by. I have implented the use of temporary clones the sa way you two did when launching an attack on Earth. With the clones acting as bait, we’ll use a diversionary tactic combined with a rapid dominance attack.
"While the clones keep the enemy occupied, we’ll move in quickly and swiftly with an aerial attack around their fortresses. Once that is settled, our real soldiers will be led into the fortresses and finish off any survivors that the Blood King and Bishop hadn’t done away with. Once that is settled, a thorough sweep will be conducted and any remaining survivors will either beco prisoners of War, slaves, or blood banks for the Mutants. Any suggestions?"
Situated in a dimly lit room were Lord Gravax, Grand Master, Grim, Ace, Jim, and a few leading Granians all listening to the new Lord giving his battle strategy. The planet of choice they wished to attack was one rich in resources and beasts which, if captured, would provide fuel, energy cores, and food for their troops.
having listed his strategy, Gravax waited for those present to suggest what they would do if they were in his position. To his surprise, no one, not even Grim, opened their mouth to speak. They all stood still as if they agreed with his strategy, all except for Jim who had so bit of knowledge when it ca to military strategies and planning.
"Using the temporary clones is a sowhat clever strategy but it will not be as effective. During the attacks on Earth, we could tell the difference between the clones and the real Granians by the pigntation of their scales and the way they conducted themselves. Your clones are quite aggressive and move wildly. They don’t think for themselves which makes them perfect for slaughter bags of at. However..."
The Human turned his fingers into claws, grabbed one of the Granians closest to him and gently ran his claw against their tough scales. he did this repeatedly and only managed to take out the upper parts of the scales, sparing the Granian a fresh wound.
"The clones are much softer than the real Granians so they’ll be killed easily. I bet just one stone thrown at them with precision and strength will do more than enough damage. We’ll need to give them armor or..."
"Our resources are only reserved for the soldiers." Grim interrupted quickly. "We can’t spare any pieces of armor for re clones."
"That is true, but..." Gravax grinned while looking at Ace, a genius idea entering his mind, "...we don’t need to give them armor when they can fight after dying, right Ace?"
