Chương 26: The Underworld 1
Blam!
"Revenge? Lucas, are you insane!" Neil slams the table and glare at him, "Do you know who are they?! It was lucky that you survived this attack. How about other nobles?"
"Lucas, Neil is right. Do you know what does it means to go against the nobles?" Asks Redford. He took a piece of rolled leather paper and spread it in the ground. On the leather, a drawing of a large continent that is surrounded by water, the continent is divided into three colors; red, green and blue, "This the map of 'Blur Continent', this, this, and this, do you what are they?"
Neil took out a pen and started to write the letter 'N' to the three corners of the continent. "This is the three major fortress of the land, this color red, the smallest one is the part of the continent controlled by the nobles. They controlled 25% of the continent, and that's not all, the countries that are inside the territory are the strongest country and home of the scariest planteros of the Blur Continent!"
"Do you know what is the reason why the Chili Dragons are wiped out of existence?" Ask Redford, "Because of MCdaymo Rhinos! They are the hardest planteros known to the world! The last Emperor Chili Dragon died with a horrible state, he is slammed in all direction."
Neil pointed to the part of the map in the middle of Red and Yellow part, near the ocean, "This the country we belong, Grains City is part of Itakam Country, the yellow map is the territory of Guild, we control 36% of the continent. Itakam Country belongs both to Guild and Nobles. It means if a war starts between Nobles and Guild."
"Our country will become the battlefield..." Lucas cut in and knitted his forehead, he was deep on his thought, 'Does it mean, I can't fight them?'
"The 39% of the continent belongs to the royalties, " Said Neil, he pointed on the castle mark in the blue territory, he looks at Lucas asks, "Do you know what is this?"
Lucas touches his chin and gets near to the map, "Ain't this too obvious? It's the Demon Lord Castle! Right?"
"W-what Demon Lord? If the royalties heard what you say, you'll probably dead! That's the Royalties Castle!" Neil said and snap Lucas' forehead, "They are the neutral faction, the member of the royal court aren't allowed to side neither faction. Even the nobles are close mouth when in front of them. Do you kn... Forget it, the royal castle is, of course, a member of the international faction, Gourmet Hunters."
Lucas stood up and clapped his hand, "So, that means the GM is on our side if we sold them peppers, right!?"
"I just said they are neutral..." Said Neil and touches his forehead, "That means when they decide. No one has the courage to disobey them."
"Now, Lucas. Are you still planning to attack them?" Asked Redford.
Lucas was deep on his thought and asking himself. He has the last decision, if he decided to attack the nobles, there will be a consequence. Being the center of the battlefield, they can only dream of having a peaceful day.
"But grandpa Neil, " He said and continue, "If Guild and Nobles are enemies, why did that Rezmon joined the Guild?"
"Well, that's another story, it's like having a spy using their own spy. Don't change the topic, Lucas, answer me seriously!"
Lucas shook his head and tap the table. "Well, I hate being in disadvantage, I hate it when I can't pay back what they did, and I hate whenever someone hurt my family.
"But since taking revenge will be a lot disadvantageous to us, I decided not to start the war. Let's have our own preparation instead." He took out three bags full of mana grains and hand it over to Buckler. "Grandpa, I need your help. It's urgent, please build another wall 50 meters away from the wall of despair. This time I want it as thin as the city wall."
Buckler suddenly fell on his butt, he was sweating a lot, "Huff! I thought I'll be exempted, why do I have to participate in your craziness!?"
"Haha!" Lucas laughs out loud, he wipes the tears on his eyes and explains what he wanted to do.
He wants to develop a thin wall that is supported by the wall of solid soil. He explained the ability of his hammer and the speed of the black ant pepper, and it can make a combination which will make the infiltrators desperate.
He also was planning to make the Wall of Despair as the primary wall of his headquarters. Building a roof that is connected to his dome, and making the place immune to cold temperature.
Lucas makes more preparation, he wanted to grow several types of planteros. One is the Blood Orange Eagles, the second is the Lychee Crocs and the last one is the Durian Bears.
They also discussed how to cut the chores inside the dome. Neil put Della and Ranrem as the Giant Ginger Cat's nanny. He also put Rita and Viola to tend on the black nether panther. Violet's. the only task is to prepare food for everybody, of course, Viola still helps her.
Hugo was asked to find seeds of every elite planteros around the country. He was against it at first but accepted it when Neil glare at him.
"If we can only cultivate and breed a Planton, we will be much stronger!" Said Redford while gritting his teeth.
"Wh-"
"What are Plantons?" Before Lucas could speak, Neil already cut in, "Is there anything that we don't need to tell you?"
"Of course! You don't have to tell me how to kill those nobles! I can do it without any help!"
Neil looks at him emotionless, he decided to ignore what he said and started to explain, "Actually, plantons are wild planteros, but they can't be eaten by humans. But they are the best food for every planteros since they contain a high amount of mana.
"The reason why we can't raise a third pace planteros in this country is that we lack plantons. Mostly, every family member will raise their own king to make their force stronger. That also explains the two king jack orangutans who attacked you.
"Also, you need a large serving of Plantons are needed to produce a third pace planteros."
Lucas looks at him and took out an old book. He flips the book to look for any information about plantons.
Plantons is a type of planteros that is treated as the planteros food a staple food for them. Did you give them mana grains? You feed them with planter is meat? Maybe some can eat meat but not all of them.
Plantons have different size texture, but the only thing they have in common, they have a green color. Centipede Grass is the most common, and the most expensive are Bermuda Hopper.
The amount of mana varies in different type of Plantons. A shrink bad full of Centipede Grass could make a pace one normal planteros could make them advance to the second pace. A Second pace needs a shrink bag of Bermuda Mantis to advance to the third pace.
"Erg, ain't this plantons are too op?" Asks Lucas, "How much is Bermuda Mantis and Centiped Grass in comparison?"
"Haist, a shrink bag of centipede grass costs 30,000 mana grains, " Neil said and stop for a moment, "Bermuda grass... Only the royalties have them."
"Tsk! Damnable Royalties! I will marry their princess and took every Bermuda they have!" Lucas said and smile arrogantly.
"You don't know what you are talking about. Well, make sure you'll do proper preparation. The death of Marcus and their heir can't be overlooked." Neil stands up and turns around, "I'm sure they will take revenge for their loss, this meeting is dismissed!"
Neil left and enter the dome, he did give too much attention to how they will react. Redford scratches his nape and shook his head, "I'm sure I'm the one who started the meeting. Why did he decide on his own?"
"Haha, old man. I'll take my leave too, " Said Lucas, "I don't want to be caught unprepared like last time."
Lucas left the area and sat under the shadow of a rock. 'Mission Page!'

"So, I already need to choose whether to build a kingdom or make the world under me? It's impossible to make a kingdom for now.
" Before making a kingdom, I need to build a stronghold. Rule the world..." Lucas makes an evil smile and clicked the 'Y' bottom.

"What!? I should have check it before the attack! Haist." Lucas was disappointed, he killed a lot that night.
He was feeling down, he never thought that checking out the mission will make his mood drop. He walks inside the Dome and went to the Black Pepper Ants territory.
He asked Anthena to help him with something. Something that surely makes their safety better. He asks her to tell his workers to dig an underground room.
He wants something that imitates an ants colony. Branching tunnels that connect to a one-way tunnel. Each tunnel ha 5-meter diameter in order to become a proper fortress. The main tunnel is like spiral stairs that could even fit Coco. At first, Anthena wants to refuse, because this plan of his will affect their colony.
She has a large colony of 5-9 thousand worker ants, and the colony for a three inches ants can't compare to a two to six-millimeter fire ants. Their tunnel has ten inches diameter, the size is for Anthena to escape or engage whenever a battle started.
If she will help him, this large colony needs to relocate, and she don't know where to transfer them. Lucas gave an offer of three bags of mana grains, but she refused, not long when she heard something interesting. Lucas will provide them chili dragons to maintain the temperature, he also promised that she will be the first one to receive plantons for her to advance to a True Queen.
The thought of becoming a True Queen is the first and last thing a queen wanted to become. Once she become a True Queen, she can finally produce generals that can compare to an elite.
She agreed with his plan and release an order to go out of their colony. After a few seconds, rally of three inches black ant peppers went out of the ground. They are carrying green colored larvae on their mandibles with the size of a sun flower seed.
100, 500, 1000, 5000, 6000, the rally lasts for thirty minutes, not because they are slow, but because they try to be as careful as possible. Reason? When the first thousand came out of the colony, Neil, Redford and Buckler, together with their companions were sacred to death. When the whole colony finally emerged, the spectators was sweating a lot.
"My colony have five hundred workers..." Murmured Neil, he knows how much mana grains he needs to grow a colony of five hundred, but how about 8,800 plus workers and thousand of larvae? Neil shook his head and a smile bitterly, "I have to make my self used to him, everything he will do will surely shocked me to death."
After making sure that everyone is out of the colony, Anthena ordered them to build a temporary settlement outside the dome for the larvae and started the operation.
First, they relocated Melon Queen to the mound the ants made. The middle of the dome will be the entrance of the underground base. They make a 10-meter hole and make a spiral staircase. The soil that they remove is piled outside encircles 50 meters away from wall of despair.
Lucas is the one in charge of hardening the soil, the wall will be supporting the new wall buckle will make.
Buckler also went back to his work shop and order his workers to start. He know that this is not the last work he will do for Lucas and decided to hire more workers. The workers he hired are those who wanted to work for him. He just can't hire them before because he already have enough workers. But now, after hiring them, his workers totals 500.
A hundred workers who are transporting sand from the beach to the factory, fifty workers who melts the sand, a hundred workers for the molding, fifty workers that will store the glass wall to the truck, twenty-five drivers and a hundred and twenty-five workers that will build the wall. The last fifty workers are those who are building an alloy skeleton for the roof. Calculating the distance and how will they make it solid.
