_Interesting..._
Indeed, at least for soone who was being scared by father (the priest) by these monsters, I am amused to see them arguing with their lower half that are unable to talk before they attach themselves and look at with respect. Still, soon my interest turned into annoyance, and when I grunted with a "hmph!" all of them started to shut up and silently reintegrated themselves into their lower half.
Well, they are around 300 so it took quite a while, the good thing is that the room is quite spacious and can house much more than 300 so they fit in here just fine. All of them bowed slightly whilst saying: "The Mananaggals of the Undead Race greet their Lady." The greetings of all these people feel like it was rehearsed, how strange.
"Well, are all of you ready to listen?"
All of them flinched, knowing that I got quite irritated by their antiques, though I did not really care about their body language and already located 50 Mananaggals who were exceptionally unfit into the Military to serve as the maids of this place, this force would have an addition of around 10 living people, with that in mind as well as my other plans for them, they answered.
"Yes, Our Lady."
I nodded a little and inhaled as I divulged what I arranged for them.
First, I gave nas to the 50 people I have designated as the servants of the house, they will be assigned according to their roles which will be given to them beforehand and the manpower will be distributed by the leader whom the maids have free rain to choose who, the tasks I have given them are, of course first, serve food, however I forbade Manananggals to cook or process anything that will be consud by humans through the mouth, because like I said, cooking is not sothing they are capable of, so the living will do it for them. Oh, and they also are responsible for restocking supplies, maintaining equipnts (furniture), and of course, they will also be responsible for the security of the place.
Battle maids, they will be, in short. After I said the duties of the servants, I said: "You can get your uniform and start your work tomorrow, into the next one."
I nad the Mananaggals whom I deed to have the smallest body fra and the fastest speed and then gave the ssengers of the lady's decree as their job, oh yeah, you might ask a question, why do I need ssengers if I can just communicate with my population ntally? Well, history students might be familiar with this but there is a term called: "Positivism" in history that ans "no docunt, no history.", and as a person who ca from a country that got almost the entirety of its pre-colonial history censored because they use biodegradable materials to record their actions, I don't want the sa thing to happen in this nation of mine.
[One of a monarch's egoistic decisions, I see.]
Yes, you can say that even the Mananaggals have that confused expression, but because they experienced being under a monarch's rule, they did not object, well a ssenger has a very basic job, to send ssages, though they needed to be designated in the cities I will create later as well as the training to be able to conceal their presence in the broad daylight and many more. Their ssages will be delivered through goatskin scrolls.
The remaining ones will be able to beco the Air Force military, they will be trained by and they are expected to be experts in bombing and hand-to-hand combats after the training, they will also be trained in the modern jet formations so that they will not drop bombs in the head of their allies if a war that needed their specialization happens.
_There are still a lot of armies I want to recreate, but I can't recreate air forces with flying undeads and needed a true fighter jet, so I think these maidens will be sufficient enough._
The most optimal imitations I can make are the land and sea, though we are yet to go with that, I can see Lyra becoming the leader of my version of Luna Sharpshooters (1) for one, but that will be a story of another ti.
"All of these arrangents shall be effective tomorrow, the ssengers will of course have to wait for their duties. Disperse."
"Yes, Our Lady."
I sighed as I ended my speech, even though it is tiring that I have to arrange all of these beforehand, I don't want to be a queen who cleans her castle, that would be stupid because rember, I still have to revert the undead to its forr glory. But, if the undead are not at their peak, just how strong are they if they are? Those Tikbalangs, in simple terms, are illusionist that can deadlift boulders and manananggals are biological fighter jets, their numbers can drown any country if they so desire, and in their current number, they still can, with my guidance, of course.
"Hmmm, how exciting."
I cannot help but mutter so, the undead race is one of the most flexible races in, let's say literature world and there are an imasurable amount of renditions of them and I am looking forward to the version of them that I will and can create.
Just as I was thinking of those things, a spider suddenly fell onto my shoulder and said, it was in Arachne's voice.
"Where in the world are you? Your new place is too big ."
I looked at the spider imdiately as I asked.
"You're lost?"
She replied as if she didn't know what I would ask next. "Sure I am, but that spider finally found you, so I'm alright now."
As she said that, a gigantic spider appeared at the gate of my throne room and vomited at a naked woman with half-human and half-spider features, Arachne who once again started to push away the sli on her boobs, cleavage, etc. has a goatskin scroll on her hands as she said.
"Mission accomplished, I already have that but have to update so things like the monster distribution, etc."
She coughed a few tis as I nodded with satisfaction, as expected of her, though I also expected her to change her mode of transformation, Arachne after she cleaned herself up went in front of the first step of my throne and sat down as a form of salutation, I then started to read the map, it was very detailed, so detailed it was that even the places that has tactical advantage for my nation are mapped out, ready to be claid as our territory soon enough.
As I continued to admire Arachne's handiwork, she sighed as her usually sly smile vanished and a not-so-common seriousness appeared on her face as she said.
"My Lady, I have a report that is potentially vital for the developnt of our nation."
Alongside her whole personality having a 360-degree shift, her tone also got affected, I imdiately rolled the goatskin and set it aside as I put my elbow into the armrest of the throne and then lifted my fist as I rested my chin on it, actually as a loli queen, I can even put my leg into the other armrest, but because this matter was enough to make Arachne serious, I also made that kind of jokes within vanish for the mont.
"Do tell."
Arachne nodded with sharp eyes, it was very unusual to see her like this, I wondered what this matter was and how it made Arachne look so cool for a mont.
"My children have reported last night a matter of great suspicion. My Queen, the orcs of the whole forest started a great migration in the far southern part of the first layer right after your battle with Bakunawa ended."
She was so cool however, what she reported to made lose my cool in an instant, a small explosion was heard with as an epicenter, and I could feel that the whole castle shook a little, I imdiately retracted my aura, it seems like those kind of things were true, the air just looked like a gas leak happened, however for , none of that matter as of now as I imdiately asked.
"AND YOU'RE TELLING ALL OF THIS JUST NOW!?"
Arachne got pushed back a little, but after she fixed her hair and coughed mildly so that the dust would get out of her lungs, she replied to .
"I cannot exactly bother you when you are enjoying the moans of your girlfriend, so I decided to not disturb you, it is the most optimal way of protecting my life."
I regained my composure with an "Ah." as I cald down, what she did made sense, I would really have beco angry if soone interrupted us at that ti, so I imdiately went back to the topic at hand as I asked.
"Another question, did your spider observe any strange patterns in the orcs' movents during the whole span of war? Especially when the bats were capturing them, are their positions not in the place that they should be in given the current situation at that ti?"
At my questions, Arachne just shook her head and an eye squint beca visible on her face.
"Apologies My Queen, but my children had not reported anything unusual, in their report, they even emphasized that the orcs' movents were normal and I bet that you even know of this, the orcs of the first layer were captured at the rim of the forest's exit facing the Human Kingdom in which Urduja resides, whilst the second layer orcs were abducted in the border of the second and first layer, aning that ti the orcs wished to get out of the forest, however as if they were golems that are being controlled by soone, they did not only went back to the forest but even risked being slaughtered so that they can go to the other side of the Five Pronged Forest."
Yup, this matter is worth my suspicion, I just sighed and once again looked at the map just to make sure and yeah, I can see it, it seems like these orcs suddenly gained strategic prowess that they sealed off the path going to the bay of the sea that connects the forest to the outer world, if this thing happening is not worth my suspicion, then I am not Sophia (Wisdom) but Anoisía (Foolishness), thus I imdiately asked Arachne.
"Can't your children report this to right after I evolved? Didn't you command them to report anything of importance to directly?"
Arachne nodded, it was very unusual to see her this serious, I found it hot.
_Hm?_
Arachne seed not to notice the oddity in my face and replied to my question.
"I did, however, the spiders have decided that this matter is of secondary importance as it will hinder the montum of your conquest, after all the after-war clean-up is harder than the war itself."
I looked at her for a while but sighed in the end, indeed, I would have ignored it if they reported that thing to because the orcs did not attack us, they just migrated, basically, I will just brush them off and deal with them later, but still has to give away so concentration to their movents.
_Man, forget about the servant force, I have to introduce all of my generals to their roles in the Queendom, this is very ssy and I hate it._
I sighed in my heart as I organized the things reported to by my subordinate soone is controlling the orcs, and judging from how they suddenly beca organized, so organized that long-distance communications between migrants beca most likely possible, and because of all of this I have to find the one who is trying to fuck around with my future trading strategies this early on, oh and I need a continental map too and I can see that even Arachne cannot provide that, so I just gave her a command.
"Alright, your report is a good help, I shall make you the one responsible for searching for the one who is the puppeteer of this whole case, you will also be assigned as the head of the scouting force and the one who will develop biological weapons starting with the study of the body of the pink bats... If you want, I can resurrect the bat queen for you so that you can smooch her."
I jokingly said, but Arachne unexpectedly blushed and said.
"W-well, I will find a way to do that without your help, that all will be my report."
I chuckled a little, that is the Arachne I knew more.
"Alright, the official designation of the roles of my subordinates will happen tomorrow, you can announce it to all my direct subordinates, and Eleanor, you may leave. However, I have a project for you, create spiders that can be puppeteers for the hastened stimulation of undeads muscles."
As I said that, she stood up and bowed once more, I stood up as I was getting ready to check on the construction progress of the construction as well as the rehabilitation of the basic functions of the muscular system of the undead, another spider ca down to my shoulder, what is it this ti.
"Your wife is waiting at the dining area for breakfast, her neck has a lot of hickeys."
I ignored the last part of Arachne's notice and realized sothing.
_Breakfast is always first, especially if it's with your wife._
