Chapter 375 - Revolutionized Battle Tactic

King Michael has to continue with the mutation experiments, this can be the most important part of Ignis' History in many aspects, and the best thing King Michael researched throughout his entire lifeline, it does sound like a lot of pressure is here right?

On the newest rats he has repeated the same 9 experiments just to make sure that it will exactly turn out as it did in the first time. Luckily, in aids of not making these logs a hell load more confusing, the experiments ended up the same.

Now the combinations of body parts they can mix to mutate a Rat, can range to hundreds and it really is hard to tackle under a short period of time, if Alama did not write everything down, this whole thing would be a lot more confusing as it becomes harder to remember everything by passing time.

Where does this lead to in a side prespective? Well, they literally have run out of Rats. They have tried to catch as much as possible throughout November, they've got nine only. Just enough to repeat the past experiments no doubt, but what about new ones?

For new experiments, he has 3 rats and another animal he will be trying out first. Now I'll tell you about that a bit later, it will be the first thing he experiments on today. But first we need to run over another primary topic.

King Michael has sent a message to both the officials all the way up to Bale Town, and a message to King Zar as well regarding Rats! What would both of these Domains have to do with such a topic you might be curious enough to ask?

He literally asked both Domains to gather Rats for him, although he offers no monetary pay for such a task, he explains that gathering them could turn the tides against the enemy in every aspect.

At first glance towards this request, it sounds odd and most would be hesitant to help him out since they don't see this situation as a live or die situation. But to convince them, the second paragraph is there to do its part.

He explained that he is mutating Rats with the aid of Demon meat, and these experimental logs can one day equal to revolutionized battle tactics. Although King Michael's intend still blurry now, considering that he started all this to prolong one's life span. When the word "Revolutionized Battle Tactics" are mentioned, no one could resist considering how Vulnerable they will be soon enough.

Both Domains got in a bit of a rumble, everyone was looking for live Rats in the order of King Zar and the townsfolk at Bale Town were cooperating a bit more towards this aspect.

Maybe it is because King Zar offered 10 Gold Coins per caught living Rat? That might be the reason, and Tedradia had a fun time studying this Human behaviour, took the Liberty to write everything down.

Eventually, 40 Rats in total were caught in Pameres Kingdom and 20 in Bale Town. To King Zar, this might be the cheapest investment (400 Gold Coins.) he ever made in the military and to both Domains this is the most bizarre thing they did, which says a lot because they saw Ignites as Demons!

The Rats will be shipped to Gaster Kingdom at the break of the new year, he will indeed have a lot of fun experimenting considering how many Lab Rats he will have in his possession!

For now he just has to deal with the strong suspense of not experimenting on anything for a month. He is feeding the Rats normal food though so don't worry about that!

...

Now, getting on to the first experiment King Michael can do at the moment. He is about to experiment on a Chicken. Yes a Chicken!! He can't experiment on more than one since these species are both rare and expensive, plus they pay a big part in the monthly income.

Since he can't repeat the experiment on Chickens over and over, with the little gathered information he is about to Mutate the Chicken multiple times in order to attain his main goal today, weaponizing a Chicken.

This is a tricky and unpredictable task indeed, but he has a good plan for it. If the mutations occurring on Rats are at least half similar to a Chicken, this will be a big step up towards a millitary Revolution.

According to the fourth Experiment done on a Rat. If one consumes Demon Toe, Demon Waist, and Demon Head he or she or it will be transformed in to a bigger animal, or at this case Rat.

As a Start, King Michael wants to test if the same effect would occur on a Chicken. Just to be prepared, he had the Blacksmiths make a bigger Cage. I mean, the Rat got Quadrupled in size!

A full grown Chicken is usually around a foot and a half, what if she got quadrupled in size? They do not in any case want a 6 foot tall Chicken loose, it can do a hell load of damage alone.

The Cage they have made, is more of a cell actually. It reaches from ceiling to ground and is 5 feet wide and long. The Bars are thick and close to each other, it should be able to hold a 6 foot tall Chicken in if something like that actually happens.

Alright now getting to the experiment, "Write this down Alama." King Michael requested in a delicate tone, focused primarily on the Chicken. "Demon Head, Waist and Toe, Chicken as the Consumer."

Writing it on her parchment placed over the big table in the room, and actually standing behind 3 Guards for safety. She has to be safe in all costs, and the Guards should get a great show here as a bonus pay.

"Done and done." She answered with a light tone and tried her best to peek at the Chicken from the protection of the Guards.

"Here we go!" King Michael answered and threw in all three pieces of these terribly smelling Rotten Demon meat at once.

A chicken, is a species that can consume both meat and weeds. In the wild it is really hard for such a vulnerable species to survive, so I suppose they at least have this characteristic to their aid. But in this case, it will make the experiment possible.

Without hesitation, the Chicken pecked on the meat and consumed it all in a matter of half a minute since they were cut in small pieces.

PUK PUK PUK PUK!!!

The Chicken panicked a little bit and started running around the cell, although not in super speed if you were curious enough to know. Perhaps it noticed itself changing, mutating and possibly never having the chance to be the same ever again.

Checking out the final result of the Chicken, King Michael added. "Well it worked, the Chicken grew Bigger."

Alama poked her head out, she has hidden when the Chicken started panicking before. Looking at it, she was both satisfied and sad. "Its not 6 foot tall." She pointed out the obvious.

"Nope, but she did double in size. Um I'm guessing that she is about 3 feet tall now so please write the result as, "Double in size." He specified, feeling happy that this experiment has gone better than he expected it.

The accuracy is interesting, because if it continues for the results to be similar to Rats, he actually will be able to weaponize a Chicken!

"Now write this down." King Michael requested once more. "Demon Toe, Chicken who has been mutated with the three main combos as the consumer."

Without waiting for her to catch up, curiosity got the best out of him and he went ahead with the experiment, dropping the meat down.

Dumb enough, the Chicken pecked on the rotten meat again even though it did not work to her favour last time. Becoming bigger likely opened up more appetite? That is not certain as the Chicken can not tell, but what is Certain for sure, the Chicken Double mutated!

Looking at its claws, he smirked and even let out a slight giggle. Requesting, "Write the Result as the Claws tripling in size."

Now this mutation is rather accurate to what a Rats recieved once fed one Demon Toe. The fact that it is the same effect even after it is mutated once with a different recipe, gives out mass clarity to these experiments even though the results proved random in the beginning.

This is turning out the way he likes it, and he couldn't be more grateful about it since it actually could be opening doors for the fourth mutation on this Chicken.

With Guards in the room protecting her, she couldn't really burst in to conversations with the King, which in another way is good because they can work faster but less cute I suppose.

"Please write this next log down." He requested once again, feeling pleased that they are making such great time and results. "Demon Waist, Chicken who has been mutated with the three main Combos, and an additional Demon Toe as the Consumer."

Definitely something long to remember and write down at once, so he looked at the Guard who is seeing him write and he repeated it when noticing that Alama failed to catch up on the last few words.

King Michael threw the Demon Waist meat in, the Chicken pecked on it again and ate it whole. Although this time in less panic, perhaps that she is getting used to these Experiments, she did mutate for the third time.

"Result, Doubled Beak size!" He requested with a laugh as if he was an evil sorcerer. "Ladies and Gentlemen this is the greatest mutation I ever met and will turn the tides in battle!"

Before the Guards or Alama were about to ask anything, he gave out another request. "Write this down please. Demon head, Chicken who has been mutated with the triple combo, Demon Toe and Demon Waist as the consumer."

Afterwards of course he instantly threw the meat in the cage, not to make Alama's job harder but because he is far too curious to wait and is no doubt rushing!

"I knew it!" He shouted in joy once noticing that the Chicken's wings are touching against both sides of the Cage now that she tried to jiggle them a little bit.

"Write in this result!" He mildly shouted in joy. "Um from the looks of it, Wings grow three times the size!"

Waiting this time for Alama to finish writing since this experiment is over. He decided to explain the intend of this experiment. "Ladies and gentlemen, this Chicken is worthy to join you in battle."

Seeing that all four of his audience got confused, he continued to explain. "It is double the size now, well almost triple actually. It has bigger wings to fly long distances, a bigger mass to pounce on enemies, a strong puncturing beak to damage enemies and bone crushing claws to her aid as well."

With a wide smirk across his face, he continued to explain. "Having 100 Chickens mutated at this exact same manner, will not only grant us an attack from above against the enemies, but it will also be an attack from a close combat perspective. Furthermore, we will loose a lot less Humans in battle!"
