In the afternoon, I worked with Auntie and my sisters on a missile in a silo with radio guidance coupled in parallel with mana stone guidance. All a goblin or monster had to do was place the emitter on the target, such as an arrow or a galena emitter, and the detector lamps in the missile would guide it along an xy axis. Z being ballistics, corrected by XY coordinates. Very easy with steppers and a pulse lamp.
As there are no other radio transmissions, the signal is clear and there's no need for filters or electronics to sort the signals.
On the head, the plutonium core and around it a spherical shaped charge explosive. Destined to implode rather than explode.
The metal tip was closed, and I whistled to myself just thinking of those who would receive this suppository.
It was about ten meters high and had a range of around 2000 km, enough to hit all my neighbors.
My spies already had transmitters everywhere and a radio to receive instructions.
Then I mobilized a large part of the army and trucks loaded with rocket launchers, 3-4 V2 (basic scud) launchers stuffed with mustard gas, 2 tanks and 2 flamethrower tanks.
5000 men and a truck carrying the anti-magic sphere.
3 zeppelins and 100 harpies and 100 imps loaded with grenades.
Orcs with machine guns and we headed west.
A medical team also followed. The rest protected the capital while Vidocq prepared for the arrival of the military module with men loyal to him, the rest assigned to training and developing the city and modifying the colonization program.
We were going to keep the capital intact and improve the art and urban structure (lighting, sewers, street paving, signage, creation of a metro and shelters, water, gas, electricity, upgrading of existing facilities and creation of new districts, infrastructure using local style, available manpower and materials.
the next settlers won't find a military base, but a brand-new city with its own charm and character, its own local and imported products. A spaceport was also created, as well as roads and communications with other states, and a fishing port, both civilian and military, and a commercial terminal. There was choice and work for all. The economy was exploding and no one in the empire was hungry anymore.
But everyone feared the DemonLord.
Taller also knew that neighbors to the north and east were massing troops in the cities and that an army of at least 100,000 men was preparing to attack in place of the Enchantress, who had surrendered unconditionally. This was seen as a betrayal. Perhaps a lack of spies or communications, but not everyone saw the danger as Xayda did.
Especially since she knew there were 8 other warlike Empires just waiting to attack.
She knew that sooner or later they would have to unite with Mir to counter them, or disappear into slavery to demons.
I marched with my army towards the republic, to the astonishment of the humans. Taller had told me nothing, and I was unaware of the threat.
I'd found out, stripped the capital of its protection, assuming that Vidocq could defend the humans himself, but I didn't know that Taller was manipulating the information.
Either he was testing me, or he wanted my downfall. A Wyvern emperor was like an alien king to him.
He was making a caricature of me.
After a day's drive (we were transported by truck), we arrived at the border where another army was waiting for us.
There was a delegation with white flags and the red-and-white coat of arms of the republic showing an embroiled wyvern.
My troops moved quickly into position, much to the dismay of the medieval army in front of us.
They were frightened when they saw, high in the sky, 3 zeppelin bombers and the harpies between them.
Opposite us were 3 dragons mounted with lance knights.

They were impressive, but I wasn't afraid. For me, it was duck hunting.
Of course, I felt the projection of anti-magic spheres, but the engines were still running.
The enchantress vowed a final joust, but when she saw that magic was also cancelled on her side, there was nothing left but the sword to face the cannons.
And her few blunderbusses would make no difference.
It was checkmate from the start.
She would have liked to wage a war of attrition by hiding out in the catacombs, but when she saw the mountain rise in sprays of fire and the immense column of fire from the H-bomb, it was all over.
A delegation of unarmed knights arrived before me and handed over the enchantress' magic staff.
"We surrender with 2 conditions and of course, your family is here, healthy, cared for and they're on their way."
Me, annoyed. "What conditions?"
"We ask that Xayda's physical integrity be respected. She is not a dictator lord but has been elected as the legal representative of her people and we implore your clemency not to unleash your fury on innocent people. We bring a tribe of men, soldiers and gold in the hope that you will not unleash celestial fire upon us."
I calmed down and looked at Sacha and Kroa, who had accompanied me as observers.
Sacha agreed.
I grunted a little, then replied.
"I agree, but I want Xayda to love me to make up for the parental love I was deprived of! Her physical integrity will be guaranteed and she will be free to come and go in the merging empire and republic if she wants to make the effort to give me a chance."
Basically, I've written off swallowing and hickeys. But she won't escape the saliva and tongue bath!!! that! no!!!
"Also, she'll do me the honor of saluting me!" (Wyvern-style salute with tongue licks and saliva!!!!)
I said no more... A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush... I'll have plenty of time when she's part of my harem and tasting the subtle pleasures of our anatomy and venoms.
Once again, I chattered my teeth. The enemy knights struggled with all their might not to be on top of them out of fear.
I could squash them like maggots against a bearded dragon.
The messenger came back and said he'd accept on condition that Etincelle be released and assigned to Xayda's personal guard.
In my head, I was thinking that since I had 2... No more crazies, no more fun.
Sacha shouted: "MIR Your thoughts again!!! I haven't forgotten when you asked me to join you! You were drooling like that!!"
If I'd had human skin, I'd be as red as a tomato, but my black beard had unconsciously come out and it was very, very black. I had to fight with all my might not to impale the first thing that turned me on, like Sacha.
Kroa stood between me and her, but I wanted to fuck Kroa too!
He looked at me, turning his head at 45°, as if looking obliquely.
"Mirr???"
"Shut up or I'll fuck you up!"
Kroa "!!!!!"
He was frightened and turned his tail inwards, as if to protect his bottom.
Then, I flew towards the acid lake...
"Do what you like. Surrender, slaughter yourselves, dance, sing, I don't give a fuck, I'm going to fuck...r! I can't take it anymore".
The enemy officer asked Sacha what I had...
"Mir is in heat! Mind your backside!
Their eyes widened. The emperor was a wild beast!
Officer: "Why is he like that?"
"Mir is a kind and gentle wyvern, but your wars and battles have soured him. If you'd offered peace from the start, the empire would be yours without spilling a drop of blood.
Mir doesn't care about the empire... he just wants the throne and to sleep on a pile of gold surrounded by his harem."
Officer: "But that's odious!"
"Mir is an animal! Not a human in a beast's body. He's a beast, really. A dragon, really. We're his possession... and that's that... what's the difference? We're free to do what we want. Whether it sleeps on gold or puts it in a safe, what's the difference? At least it's guarded! And his harem... He's gentle and kind with, well, he's rude if you ask...he even offered, but I don't feel like laying eggs."
Officer. So we fought a bogeyman and lost 75,000 men for nothing?
"Yes, that's basically it, and your stubbornness created the demon lord."
Officer "What do you do now?"
"Follow us and take his family to the medical wing for a reunion party."
"Are we all prisoners?"
"No, you'll be joining the empire because the republic and the empire will become one. Don't worry, Xayda will soon be back in her tower and she'll be managing the empire with the Terrans too. You'll even be able to visit the ship and see Alpha from space!"
Then, suddenly, the ground shook and evening became morning.
A blinding light, then the ground rose to the sky.
Don't look!" shouted Sasha.
But fortunately, distance and fog prevented both Republicans and Imperials from being blinded.
Everything was shaking, and the sound, like a volcano everywhere at once and, and
This immense sphere of light was rising, driven by a column of fire rising to the sky.
All the clouds had been driven away, leaving only this column as wide as several cities or small states and this apocalyptic spectacle of a super-powerful H-bomb, the size of a Tsar Bomba.
The capital could be seen between them and the foot of the mushroom cloud.
It was the eastern state that had been pulverized.
The mushroom continued to rise into space, and then came the shockwave. It was greatly reduced, but the trees were shaken as if by a very strong gust of wind.
The mushroom cloud must have been 2000 km away, but covered a fire zone of 300 km.
The state of Northan had ceased to be.
Xayda almost fell over herself as she watched their allied country tumble into ashes. They attacked the empire by surprise, taking advantage of the troops here. They didn't take advantage at all. An army of over 100,000 men, wiped off the map, and certainly 300,000 to 400,000 more civilian casualties, not counting the wounded. But what happened?
The ground shook for several minutes, then earthquakes followed and a volcano erupted.
The acid lake!!!
Mir!!!!
A radio signal arrived ordering everyone to reach the capital as quickly as possible.
The 100,000 soldiers and 500,000 Northan refugees were on their way, seeking asylum in the empire.
Xayda heard the message and came to join Sacha.
"Are they alive? Did Mir spare them?
