Chapter 454 454: Raenwolves Are Born
Well what would you know, Cole chuckled as he saw the system prompt. He guessed in the end Aleron was right, by leaning into the bond, drawing power from a 100 people, while they in turn drew from him. Refining it across the bond and manifesting it in the form of stats. Because the bond was permanent, and what Cole just did with the [Company Of The Wolf] was akin to marriage for a Raen.
This 100 would be his metaphorical 'Right Hand Of God' the form of his judgment. Never the less they would have to press their attacks, Cole could not rely on the soldiers of the city, seeing as the generals have been unable to come to a agreement about a plan of attack. Cole was about to give the order for them to attack when he noticed Eze making his way across the ranks.
There was no need for anything to be said. Neral was like family to every Raen that's close to Cole. He was more than just a dog, but both men were grown ups, there would be time to grieve over the NJ now deceased mascot of the Raen race. However something else was what brought Eze here.
"I bring word from Peronico Lord Cole." Cole raised an eyebrow at that, then nodded at Eze to continue.
"He has been able to reverse engineer the technology behind the Animechs. Frankly speaking not much goes into the making of the Mechs than a ritual, a soul, mainly that of a monster, the more powerful the better, a living metallic compound called Vitalium. Which as it turns out, is an overlooked vein in our mines.
After that is a little bit of magical programming by tweaking the spell, and adding extra more valuable materials to the spell array and the raw materials to make the Animech unique and even more powerful. The eggs they gave you are just the raw unshaped Vitalium, the Craftsman guild helper they gave you would have needed at least 2 months to set up the ritual for all the eggs, however Peronico came up with a different method, and he also sent an extra message and some gifts to go with it."
Cole raised an eyebrow at that. An extra message would mean it was only for his ears. Regardless Cole was happy or at least satisfied on the front of the Animechs. He wasn't sure if they would be able to mass produce it yet, but being able to field it on the field of battle was a great advantage for them.
Cole had experienced the power of the Mechs in the hands of people without sufficient stat and skill to utilize them. In the hands of a Raen however, it would be akin to giving a tiger wings, and there's nothing else that sounds as appealing as that to Cole right now. He inclined his head to the side, dismissing his Wolves as he and Eze were left alone.
"What's with you and making so many different elite units. Don't you think having so many different units would cause a lack of cohesion and unity amongst the Raens….you already a personal guard.
And I believe Delarosa is doing good work with the intelligence and Espionage organization she has to put in place. And then there's the army, of which are still further divided into the Air Force, Army, Navy and Space Force." Cole smiled as he said.
"You're right about having to many military divisions. But none the less, just you and Delarosa run those. The phoenixborn clan are responsible for policing our home and making sure we don't fuck ourselves up too bad.
But this….the company of the wolf is a coping mechanism for grief….my grief. I've never been so surrounded and supported in my entire life, yet under the sea of all those voices, all those hopes and dreams and belief.
The expectations, the trust….the love and the hate. I've never felt so alone and adrift and all it does is make me angry. So that's what they are, my anger made flesh. I'm not playing God or anything brother, I just decided to stop playing the involuntary hero and embrace my true role. Now what message does Peronico have for me?" Cole asked Eze with a small smile.
"He says you have an alchemist holy Grail. That using it and the method he came up with for activating and improving the Mechs, you should be able to combine your Animech, along with your armor, along with a few other more powerful and more resilient metals. For a soul, he says to ask a mutual Eldritch friend of you both to enter into a contract and become the patron of the company of the wolf.
Apparently this individual can give a much higher quality and powerful soul…..he's own. Or at the very least a tiny piece of it, to create an elite Animechs unit, feared in the universe. And finally he sent me here with The Grand General's Memory Core, it has all of his memories and experiences…..I guess you could say this is a copy of Neral's soul.
Peronico says you can add it to the pile. It would give what or whoever comes out on the other side of all this combination information and understanding of the world at large rather than learning all the way from scratch. Not a rebirth but a descendant and a way for the general to still work and walk besides his master."
Cole nodded his head in thanks as Eze transferred a couple of things to his inventory. Cole smiled…..looks like he was finally getting that long overdue armor upgrade along with his mecha. Cole smiled again as he said to himself.
"Oh Chaos….what games do you play?"
There would be no answers forthcoming for now, but Cole wasn't worried about that. He summoned the twenty eggs, and called the top 20 of his Wolves, handing each of them a stone disk with a magi formation on it. He turned to them and nodded as all as one! They brought the first generation of Raen Animechs to life.
