Chapter 559 - Meeting II

Souta didn't reject Torkez's idea of building a research team that focuses on improving their technology. He knew that technology had an advantage in numerous situations. He came from Earth and in the game, he joined the Mechanic Country. So he naturally knew the advantages of high technology.

"I gave you my permission to form a research team. My only request is that you don't forget my goal right now." He said to Torkez in a solemn tone.

"I understand. I will try to find a way to cultivate the King Parasite." Torkez nodded.

After talking to Torkez, Souta turned his head to Doranjan and Yuko. He glanced at the Red Dragon before he focused his attention on Doranjan. He had something to say regarding the monsters that he brought here.

"Doranjan, I'll leave the responsibility of the monsters that you and Yuko brought here to you. I'm quite dissatisfied with them at the moment. They didn't join the battle quickly when I gave the signal and it caused some of our forces to die. I don't want that to happen again." Souta said to Doranjan in a grave tone.

This was the reason why he didn't like those low intelligence monsters in a war. They couldn't take complicated commands as it will take a lot of time before his command sink into their minds.

It's a hassle.

Furthermore, the monsters that Yuko and Doranjan brought were non-humanoid. And the non-humanoid monsters had the lowest intelligence among the type of monsters in the first and second evolution stage.

Goblins, trolls, orcs, and ogres were some of the humanoid monsters that had high intelligence in the lower evolution stage.

The difference was huge. The former could only understand simple order while the latter could easily adapt in various situations.

"I'll give one of the Guardian Fortress to you. That fortress will become the headquarters of the monsters in our group for now." Souta tapped his finger in his armrest before he continued, "Also... Yenxa."

Yenxa quickly stepped forward and kneeled in front of him. "I'm here, My Lord. Just give me your orders and I will accomplish it to the best of my ability."

"It's good that you are attentive." Souta smiled as he turned to Doranjan, "Go with Doranjan. Return to your home planet and take all survivors from your tribe. My memory from that battle is still fresh and some of your tribesmen survive so bring them here."

"I understand, My Lord." Yenxa nodded her head.

"I will turn one of the Guardian Fortress into a den of monsters. Your tribesmen, convince them so that our forces can grow stronger. Creatures with toxin ability are good as they could easily eliminate the weaker opponents." Souta said as he rubbed his chin with a wide grin.

The Guardian Fortress was huge. Although, it couldn't rival Motherships it still could accommodate thousands of people at the same time. It has a force field that could block an attack from B-rank and a heavy cannon that could pierce the defensive ability of any B-rank expert. Its most powerful weapon was the Mana Convergent Bomb that could even damage S-rank. In the low world, it has a power that could turn a huge city into dust in an instant. Some upgrades would be enough for it to go against a large army of experts.

It was a perfect headquarters for a moving army like them.

"Souta, it would take a lot of time for them to go back. We can't go to Imperium without them." Alice suddenly said.

"Don't worry, I have some plans. We'll meet before we enter Imperium." Souta glanced at her. "I still have one more place to visit before the two of us return to our home planet."

"I understand. I will take back Yenxa's tribesmen with us. I will also try to return as soon as possible." Doranjan said to Souta.

"Good. You can ask Torkez for people that could operate the fortress. As for protection, you don't need that. You're strong enough plus Yuko and that Red Dragon are with you." Souta said. He then looked at the rest. "As for us, we will depart immediately. We can't stay here anymore. The enemy will come here sooner or later that's why he needed to leave this place. We don't have enough strength to fight a giant organization."

Naturally, he can't stay here anymore as he knew that the Council of High-World will forcibly take this world. The person that was controlling the Witch Clan's Clan Leader was familiar to him. That man was one of the five Council Directors. A man at the peak of the shackled realm also called Hero-rank.

From now on, his group will be chased by that man until they've returned to Imperium. The Council Director will stop playing and he will clean up all the big forces on this planet. No one had the power to stop the Council Director on this land and the war between the Monster Dungeon and the top organizations will get interrupted.

'Those organizations will fall. It's inevitable. The only one that will be left standing is the Union Peace which is a subsidiary group of the Council.' Souta said inwardly as he leaned his back on his seat.

So he needed to buy time until Doranjan and rest had returned. Luckily, he had something to do that will distract the Council. It's the inevitable clash between him and the Council. He will just fight against them earlier and the reason was still the same.

To take the [Solid Hunter State Boots] and [Yin Yang Bracelet].

Before he returned to Imperium, he had to take these two pieces of equipment which he used in the game.

"Good. I hope you can return immediately." Souta finished his conversation with Doranjan as he turned to Amanda and said, "Amanda, what about you? What's the status of the current Witch Clan? The territory had sunk and they couldn't live here anymore. They had to relocate and I don't think that you would be able to help them. Remember that you've sworn yourself to me so that I could help you find your clan..."

"Yes..." Amanda nodded her head.

"Now that I've completed your wish, it's time for you to fulfill yours. You will follow me until you die even if you like it or not... Just bid your farewell to them, we'll leave tomorrow after the cooldown of Transportational Gate." Souta said in a cold tone. "Do you understand my words, Amanda?"

"Yes, I understand everything." Amanda nodded solemnly.

"Good, then dismiss... You can go and rest for now." Souta said as he clapped his hand.

He still had something to do and that's to talk to Eilish and Gragas. Also, he needed to plant Parasitic Essence Eater to the monsters that reached B-rank and above.

One by one they left the spacious meeting room. A few minutes later, only Souta, Alice, Torkez, and Eztein were left. He called Eztein as he needed him as a guide to find Eilish and Gragas. As for Alice, she stayed here for some unknown reasons. Maybe it was about her identity.

Well, Souta really didn't care about her identity as a demon. In fact, he was glad that she was a demon so her strength was stronger than her human form. He wouldn't be able to win against Rowan if she didn't release her demon power.

As for Torkez, he was here to talk about their next destination...

"How is it? Have you found the planet that I'm talking about?" Souta asked while glancing at Torkez.

"Hmm... I don't know but I've found a similar planet twenty galaxies away from us. That planet had high-density mana in the atmosphere and the environment of this planet is extreme." Torkez explained as a planet appeared on the projection.

The planet that Souta was talking about was the planet where he could find the [Solid Hunter State Boots] and [Yin Yang Bracelet].

From his memories, the environment was extremely harsh.

It had a surface temperature of 300 degrees celsius and it can reach 900 degrees celsius. It has over 1,900 active volcanoes. There's no day and night on this planet as thick chemicals from the atmosphere block all the sunlight. The air pressure was so high that a normal human wouldn't last a single minute in that place. The wind swiped too fast that it instantly killed him in the game when he was still a level 25 player.

Most of all, the mana in the atmosphere wasn't calm at all. It was wild and fluctuating every second. On that planet, it feels like someone was casting millions of tier 1 and tier 2 spells nonstop around the world.

That planet was called Orina. It wasn't completely under the Council as the residents of Orina were powerful considering their planet. They could somehow repel the forces of the Council and hide in the underground places that they've built.

"We'll visit that planet...." Souta narrowed his eyes.
