Sounds of two people fighting could be heard in an open training grounds, or more like a Master teaching his apprentice it could be said. Sam threw jabs, followed by right hooks or uppercuts. The damn lizard man just casually dodged no matter what. He did a feint leg sweep which was turned into a high kick even that didn't work. Technique can't beat up superman at the end of the day. Zal-urk was a pseudo black gold, he recently managed to breakthrough to pseudo gold with the gene mods.
"When I offered to teach you, I thought you were a newcomer to fighting. Yet, here I am seeing some advanced movement coming from such a young boy. Even more surprising is that you have reached silver rank in just days of meeting." Said Zal as he casually knocked Sam off balance.
"Fuck! I hate being this weak, and let's just say I've been juicing. I think that's enough training, you blocking my hits feels like hitting a solid steel pole." Said Sam as he got up covered in sweat and blood.
A medic mech came up to him and healed him.
"Are you sure you don't want to join the invasion yet?" Sam asked Zal.
"If I intervene in a human war, it will alert the Draconic council. They would wipe out your army and kingdom just for associating with me. Trust me, it's best for me to keep growing strong. When the time comes, I will repay the debt I have with you." Said Zal
"Don't say it like that, I thought we were friends?. Anyways, I got just the stuff to help you, visit the lab when your free, I've already notified the research bot." Said Sam slapping Zal behind the back and then regret it.
"A yes, that creepy white thing that just stares at me like a premium steak." Zal remarked.
Sam just laughed at not being the only one noticing the bots antics. They went their separate ways, he headed towards the operations room. It's been 2 weeks since he has taken over a county from the kingdom, yet no response. He knew they were less advanced, but damn not even a single assasin sent. Better for him since he's been busy charging up another attack, more than 200,000 androids have been made, 50,000 hanzos, and 50 of each mark 3 mech. Looking into his core shards he felt a little depressed.
[123 TIER 3 CORE SHARDS COLLECTED]
He needs 10000 just to unlock a single Mark 4, he decided to cheer himself up by unlocking the next mark 3 vehicles and weapons/armor. Looking into the Mark 3 vehicles he was extremely happy at the options.
[Description: Mark 3 AH-6 Buzzard helicopter. Small, fast and deadly this helicopter can be used to mow down enemies and get out before they could retaliate. Equipped with small missle launchers. Cost:100000 exp]
[Description: Mark 3 8 wheeled Stryker. Armored and fast, if you ever need a ride that can lay some firepower inside city streets, and protect your passengers with its thick armor, this will do nicely. Equipped with an M2 machine gun and grenade launchers. Cost: 100000 exp]
[Description: Mark 3 Armored JLTV. Fast and deadly, can take on explosions and lay down serious firepower. Equipped with a M25 mm Chain gun turret. Cost: 100000 exp]
UNLOCK UNLOCK UNLOCK
He didn't waste any time unlocking the new firepower. Unlike the mechs, the vehicles, weapons and armor don't have skills. Then he glazed over at the weapons, altough pretty cool, it was still a little less exciting than the vehicles.
[Description: Mark 3 EXO Skelton armor. A light armor that will raise your strength and speed by 2x. Cost:50000 exp]
[Description: .50 cal Barrett. Heavy and destructive sniper, once it hits. Not much will be left of your target. Cost: 50000 exp]
[Description: AR-15. A rifle that is not only versatile, accurate, but also deadly. Cost:50000 exp]

Although not as good as the vehicle options, he could now give the guns to his Androids to make them more deadly. First things first though.
"Nostromo, how much for the next base upgrade." Sam said.
"The next base upgrade will be, 50000000 exp, sir." Answered Nostromo
Sam sucked in cold air, that was the amount he was able to farm from the dungeon in 2 weeks. If he chose to upgrade the base, he would have to wait a whole day for it to upgrade. On the other hand, he could use the exp to buy all the equipment he just unlocked and more mechs. He decided to do the latter, and advance with his plans. He used 30,000,000 exp to buy 100 of each mark 3 vehicle, another 5,000,000 went to buying AR's and snipers. Also an exo skeleton armor for himself, it wasn't bulky or got in the way. He didn't have enough exp to arm his entire android army with guns, but he did have an idea. He would create 5 special ops teams. Each one would consist of 20 AR androids, 10 sniper androids, with 10 Hanzos, and 1 energy mech. Instead of wasting precious troops on sieges in small towns, these teams would use the Buzzards to infiltrate the city lords residence, capture or kill the city lord. Once that's done, a small 10000 occupation battalion will arrive to a surrendered enemy and no casualties.
"Oh you poor idiots, you have no idea about modern war tactics. It's not always about who has the bigger army. It's about who has the best strategy." Sam said smiling to himself.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
With the new air assault vehicle, he had an insane advantage not many had. That was why dragons were feared, Dwarves unparalleled with their flying airships, and the Kalimbor empire for their hot air balloons. The other small kingdoms and city states had none, in order to fly, you needed to get to black gold rank.
"Nostromo, have the troops be ready by the walls of Bryxton. The time of action has come, also make sure theirs enough occupational troops in the captured towns. Don't want the enemy to pull a fast one on us."
Sam went outside to the open airfield that has been laying empty, 100 Buzzard helicopters were on site. It was very hypnotic seeing their blades spinning together all at once, next to them, lines of strykers and JLTVs were ready to go. The giant army took off at once, it was so beautiful to see that it made Sam shed a tear at how cool he looked. If only he had speakers, so he could play Ride of the valkyries, then it would be perfect.

Christopher was in his study, signing different documents. Making sure that the town was still running smoothly after the new management took over. When he suddenly heard a buzzing sound, at first he thought it was a fly that annoyingly got in his room. It soon started getting louder and louder, until he couldn't take it anymore and looked outside his window. What he saw made his jaw drop, dozens of weird spinning objects flew and covered the sky. So fast he thought, at first he thought the Dwarven kingdom took advantage of the chaos to test out a new weapon. Then one of the strange flying objects landed in the open courtyard. He already started sprinting as soon as he saw who it was that got out.
"YOUR MAJESTY!"
Sam saw Christopher running out the manor, yelling for him. He got in front of Sam and knelt while trying to breath.
"Why do you like torturing yourself Chris? I was going to visit you either way." Sam laughed at Christopher's antics.
"Chris???" Christopher thought to himself confused.
"So are they all here? Cause I'm kinda in a hurry." Sam said.
"Yes, all of them are in the meeting room waiting for your presence, your majesty." Christopher replied with haste.
"Great, lead the way."
They walked through the manor, maids and servants would bow to Sam when they saw him. He felt a little weird about that, he knows he shouldn't since he put himself in this position, but it feels a little awkward.
They arrived to a big open room, a beautiful wooden rectangle table was in the middle. Five people were seated around the table already, 3 men and 2 woman. Along with Sam and Christopher, a total of 7 people. Sam obviously took the head of the table, while Christopher took a seat and 2 energy mechs stood behind Sam. Several androids were on the side with some notebooks being held by them.
"Alright, I'm going to wrap this up as quick as possible. I promised all of your family's that they would receive important positions in my empire, and I have come to make that promise true." Sam said as he commanded the androids to give each member including Christopher a thick notebook. "Before you open those, I would like to announce what positions each of you will receive, the more my empire grows, the more positions will open up and new members will join us. As of this point, these are the more important and crucial ones. Anastasia norridge, I bestow you the title of minister of the health administration. William jameson, I bestow you the title of minister of the military. Henry gobrey, I bestow you the title of minister of agriculture. Frank newman, I bestow you the title of minister of commerce. Mary anthony, I bestow you the title of minister of education. Christopher norridge, I bestow you the title of Prime minister, in case I am not available you will be in charge. Go ahead and open up the notebooks."
Giving them time to skim and look through the plans and ideas, I have written personally for each of their own departments. As a person from a more advanced world, he had brought over a lot of the technology and ideas to use it to his advantage. Obviously he wasn't expecting for them to already be able to build skyscrapers and start making rockets. What he has written were technology's, systems, and concepts that built the foundation for an advanced civilization. Things like steam powered machines, advanced arithmetic, Healthcare systems, paper money, and crop rotations.
"Your majesty, will this paper bill as you call it, actually work?" Frank newman the new minister of commerce asked.
"Yes, we will be introducing a system called, the gold standard. With every bill produced a fixed amount will be linked to its worth in gold. In the future we will change it up, but for now this will be better than carrying pounds of heavy coins around." Replied Sam
Everyone nodded and agreed, to be honest all of the things they read were very revolutionary and mindblowing. It made them look at his majesty in a new light, other than being a war driven man.
"Some of you will need extra hands to be able to produce results, rest assured some of my people will visit you to give you a helping hand." Sam said.
He planned on using some of the research bots in the lab, assembly bots, mark 1 androids, and vehicles to speed things up.
"I will be going on a war campaign, once I come back, I expect results. Christopher your in charge, you can use the provided troops to help you with anything." Sam ordered.
It's not like the mechs will betray Sam, they were loyal to Sam, down to their software. After saying what he needed to say, he left to start the war. He was walked to his helicopter, the ministers seeing him leave. Watching from the walls, people could see a 200,000 plus army leave in a long convoy. Viscount Olmar's County was next on Sam's list, once he reached the county border he ordered the special ops teams to separate. About 35 Buzzards divided into 5 teams, each team heading to different areas.

POV M3EM034 Energy mech
The sound of spinning blades could barely be heard in the altitude they were flying at. Each Buzzard had 6 mechs in each, androids armed with ARs looked intimidating. From above they could see a town in the distance, the energy mech ordered the pilot androids to go lower and head straight to the city lord manor.
From the town walls the guards heard a buzzing sound increase. They looked everywhere except the sky, until an archer scout shouted that it was from above. All of their jaws dropped, trying to make out who or what it was. Some of them unconsciously took a step back.
"What are you all doing!?! Open fire to the sky!!" Yelled the commanding captain.
Archers tried in vain to hit the helicopters, but they were to high up for the arrows to hit. Even the spear that was thrown by the silver ranked captain, was easily dodged by the buzzards. They stood helpless as the Buzzards crossed over them and headed straight towards the center of town. Civilians saw the flying machines and hid inside their homes in fear.
"Their heading to the city lords residence, send reinforcements go! go!" Officers and captains ordered.
Bells rang, but it didn't matter to the mechs. Once they arrived at the manor, they each took a corner or side. Armed androids and hanzos dropped from the sky landing without issue on the ground and going back to tactical formation. Guards rushed to the enemies, swords drawn ready for a fight. They started collapsing one by one, the androids laying open fire on them. Didnt matter if they wore metal armor, the bullets penetrated like paper. Some were just shot through the head, not knowing how they died. The squads moved throughout the manor, checking every room and taking down anyone who isn't a civilian. The Buzzards in the meantime hovered over the property. They noticed a large group of soldiers making their way to the manor, 3 separated and layed missile fire on the soldiers. Since the streets were narrow and in the open, massive casualties were taken. All they could do was hide in alleyways from the metal objects wrath. One captain took the initiative and used the alleyways to go another route. Once he stepped foot into the open streets again, his head was blown off in front of his men. Androids armed with snipers on the manor walls kept every angle covered.
Back at the manor the squads of androids found their way into a big dining hall. In it they found the city lord trying to help his family escape through a secret open entrance in a wall.
"Gabe, Make sure my family makes it out of here alive! I will buy you as much time as I can." Said the city lord resigned to fight and let his family leave in safety. Gabe was about to say something back until he was cut off by the energy mech walking forward.
"Such noble actions, please rest assured city lord. My master promises not only your families safety, but yours as well. All you have to do is surrender." The energy mech said.
"Hmph! As if it were that easy, I rather die with dignity than to bend the knee and betray my kingdom." The city lord replied with conviction.
"So be it" the energy mech replied.
In the blink of an eye the mech crossed the distance and cut off the city lords neck, catching it as it fell. Even if the lord wanted to fight, he was only a silver rank, no match against the mark 3. The lords family cried in desperation and sadness, while the guards tried to fight back and were quickly put down. Gabe and the lords family were put in the dungeons. Walking out of the manor and onto the streets with the head of the lord lifted up for everyone to see. Soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered, half an hour later the mech occupation army stormed into the town. In less than an hour the town was captured.
