—Several Days Later—
Reuniting the children with their families, I bowed my head to each of them to apologize for dragging them into our family affairs. Swearing to them that neither Rutart nor Zola would ever be a problem again, I gave each family a small gift of ten thousand dia for their suffering and promised to employ them in my new company. Informing everyone that I would produce nurous items in the Bartfort Territory, all employees would receive substantially higher wages, discounted pricing on goods, and healthcare for their families. Telling everyone that production would kick off in a few months, the entire territory began celebrating their brighter futures.
Once everything was settled down, Lucoa, Roxanne, and I headed out to find the island that Luxion was on. As we moved toward the general location I thought he was in, I asked Roxanne an important question.
“Are you sure you do not want to be freed like the other children?”, I asked Roxanne, as Yamato flew the three of us toward Luxion’s approximate location, “You do not need to stay a slave.”
“I am okay staying like this for now.”, Roxanne answered, looking at her slave mark, “As long as I have it, I can stay by your side and no one will take away again. It is also proof of our bond.”
Looking over at her, Roxanne imdiately turned away with a flushed expression. Finding her reaction adorable, I was about to press her for details when Lucoa chid in.
“Aww, how cute!”, she giggled playfully, “So Leon, when do I get sothing to mark our bond? I want sothing special like her, especially since we will beco mistresses to an Honorary Viscount.”
“I will hand-make you sothing soon, just give so ti to figure it out.”, I promised her, “As for the whole wife and mistress deal, I will not treat you differently from future additions to our group. Thanks to my unique position, I can be much more picky when choosing a wife. They are not wife material if they cannot get along with you both. You do not need to be best friends, but not being stuck-up bitches would go a long way.”
“I know, I am just teasing you.”, Lucoa acknowledged, hugging , “You are one of only a few noblen who would think that way. Those other idiots would only think about getting their dick wet and nothing else.”
Acknowledging her request, Yamato began scanning while we sat back and waited. Due to her being a military vessel, Yamato had no idea about Luxion’s existence or the lab where he resided. Having her try to locate the gravitational anomaly that the OG Leon stumbled upon, I knew that the science lab was directly above it. Giving her a few minutes to scan the vicinity, she returned with promising news.
“Take us there imdiately.”, I commanded, “See if you can get us access to the lab using your docking codes. Hopefully, you have high enough clearance to enter without any trouble.”
Doing as I requested, ten minutes later, a large island appeared out of the blue as it lowered its optical camouflage for us. Watching two gigantic hidden doors open for Yamato, we slowly sailed into the dock and moored in the only bay that could hold her. As soon as we moored, thousands of small robots flew over to Yamato and began repairing her.
“Good to hear, can you please add the three of us to the base’s security system? I want to go find Luxion without fighting Security Bots.”, I chuckled.
Printing us off IDs, the three of us disembarked and went a few bays down to where Luxion’s ship was docked. Scanning our badges at the door, we were imdiately greeted by Luxion in his large cha form. Focusing his caras on us, Lucoa and Roxanne stepped behind out of instinctual fear.
“I am fifty percent Old Human and I have co to claim what I suppose is my birthright. I want to use the resources of this lab to help take to the stars like the other Old Humans.”, I stated, “If possible, I would like to be on friendly terms with you and have you help . Are you willing to allow a chance to prove I am not lying?”
Looking at both Yamato and my armor, Luxion took a mont to consider my proposal. Stepping aside, the robot motioned for us to enter the ship as it closely monitored our movents. Calmly walking toward the ship’s bridge, I placed my hand on the Captain’s Command Console and let the system do its thing. Scanning my handprint and taking a small drop of my blood, the ship quickly confird that my genetic composition was exactly as I had told him. Satisfied that I t the requirents to take ownership of the vessel and facility, Luxion registered as its owner.
“Alright, Jarvis and Luxion, bring the facility back online one area at a ti. I do not want to overload the generators and damage sothing irreplaceable.”, I commanded.
Following my request, as Luxion brought facilities online Jarvis went behind him to confirm the status of the systems. Browsing through the facility list, Jarvis discovered sothing crucial that could further my goals.
The registry, and several other items, were among the treasures the Adventurer’s Guild had been holding for the First King’s Party. Now that we had a way to use it, resolving my troop issue would be a breeze. Needing troops to help man and utilize my future starships and starbase, I wanted loyal, obedient troops that would follow into the fray no matter the odds. Unlike the idiots in the Jedi Order, my soldiers would have actual, real nas and not stupid fucking numbers. If I expected them to follow no matter what, I owed them the fucking decency to give them nas.
“Luxion, please make preparations to begin cloning soldiers for . Based on the resources in this lab, how many soldiers can you clone?”, I inquired.
“Proceed with the elite soldiers, I will secure an island where we can begin to farm organic materials to replenish your stockpile and feed the soldiers. Please prepare the necessary robots to handle the process from end to end. Also, I would like to request five thousand android soldiers as well. I want my forces to be flexible so that we are never without a thod of attack.”, I ordered.
“Actually…yes.”, I answered, with a big smirk, “I am going to need a large armored ch for future use. There is sothing called a Gundam that I want you to construct for using an extrely durable tal called Gundanium. Do you know how to manufacture it?”
“It is an alloy made of Lunar Titanium and GND ore, both mined on the moon if I recall correctly.”, I replied.
Scanning the list of materials on-site and in the Matter Fabricator’s mory banks, Luxion confird it had never been seen here. Hoping to find a sample of both tals or Gundanium, the Rank 4 and 5 dungeons were my best hope of locating the necessary materials.
“Lastly, we need to look into the production of satellites, starships, and a starbase. I want several constellations of satellites orbiting the planet for surveillance and to eliminate enemies before they even get close. As for the starships and starbase, those can be last on the priority list.”, I said, taking a seat in the captain’s chair, “Between Yamato and you, no one on this planet right now stands a chance in a battle with us. I do not think it will always stay that way, but for the foreseeable future we are safe.”
“While you handle that, I have a BFG-9000 to teardown and repair. If I can crack the thod it uses for power, Yamato, Jarvis, and you will get a major power upgrade.”, I chuckled, pulling myself out of the chair, “Alright ladies, let us go look around this place. We will stay here till Yamato is repaired, then proceed to conquer dungeons again.”
Grinning ear to ear at the sound of that, the three of us headed into the warehouse to see what materials we had to work with and upgrade their equipnt.
