-STOMP- -tremors- -rumble-
Before they could make any action 3 drones surrounded the 5 VIP females, the left foot of Goliah was on the front of the manager and he raised his multipurpose arms aiming with his light laser weapons at those humans around the entrance of the mine.
“WH WHAT HAPPENED!!! YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!”
The manager was at his wits end… the biggest golem he ever saw appeared out of nowhere and it is blocking his path to the mine.
[FIREBALL]
[LIGHTING LANCE]
[DEATH TOUCH]
Multiple spells are been cast on Goliah…
-PEEEENG- -PEEEENG- -PEEEEENG-
All of them explode way before they touch him… except.
[table=black] Warning.
Damage to the right arm’s hull.
Estimated damage 0.05%.
Multiple unknown source of energy located, only one type wasn’t a physical phenomenon.
Solution: Elimination of the supposed threat.
[/table]
That was totally out of his expectations… not even owls were able to inflict damage on a Goliah hull unless they break instantly the energy shield… but these frail humans… succeed doing the impossible.
On the human army side they were as out of their mind as well.
A metal-like golem appeared out of nowhere and took the manager as hostage… even worse no magic spell seems to be able to affect it… if magic doesn’t inflict damage… skills won’t do any as well.
What they hell could they do?
One of the guards cleaned up his mind.
“RETREAT!!! GET INSIDE THE MINE!!!! PREPARE A DEFENSIVE- GUAAAGHJ!!!”
Before he could finish it, Leo sent the order.
“If possible incapacitate them, if any of them is able to inflict damage to the hull eliminate them… no… leave at least one… we need to begin to prepare ourselves and deal with it.”
[table=black] Operation Lazarus Pit initiated.
[/table]
Operation Lazarus Pit is a capture and suppression mission in terms of the conglomerate, it is the pacification of liberated mines.
4 drones deactivated their furtive mode at the entrance of the mine… fired at minimal damage to every single humanoid not wearing ragged clothes.
“GUAAAJ”
“LEAVE LEAVE GUAAAAHJ!!!”
“NOOOOO!!”
“PLEASE I SURRENDER!!! I SURRENDER!!!”
There were 30 slavers outside when all this began… unfortunately 20 of them died in the first 2 minutes those that saw what happened throw away their weapons and raised up their hands… they are lucky because in the conglomerate that gesture means the same than in the new word.
But not everything went as intended those that were really close the mine run inside and sound the alarm a counterattack should begin at any time.
In the meantime Goliah “pick up” the manager of the mine.
Goliah opened the cabin’s door and Leo moved out. The pilot’s cabin is around the chest of Goliah.
One has to keep in mind that the height of the unit call Goliah is rather high, 60 meters because if he is shorter all its accessories won’t be able to be distributed inside him and if he is taller the energy efficiency will drop considerably, if it was a unit that will never leave the carriers range it is ok but Zeus’s carrier was special so no goliah was taller than 60 meters.
He descend it so slowly, thanks to his armor, that in front of all those slaved women he seems like an angel… with his short blue hair dancing in the air his penetrating blue eyes… and his beautiful clothes that seems heavenly-like with its colors white and gold
One of the default setting on his uniforms that he didn’t know is that, each time the conglomerate soldiers battles with pirates it will changed its color to white and gold, so they appear justice bringers in the news that civilians watch every day.
“Greetings manager of the mine, tell me your name.”
The women saw his mouth moved… but the words came out of the golem behind him… that made him so mysterious… most of them fall to the floor and cried… remembering every night wishing for a white knight coming to their rescue… but deep in their hearts they knew it was an impossible dream… but not anymore…
Those 5 VIP women are in deep shock as well…
“RELEASE ME NOW!!! YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE MESSING WITH!!! IN FEW SECONDS THE ARMY INSIDE THE MINE WILL DESTROY YOU!!!”
“Goliah how many remain?”
[table=black] 4 barracks with 500 soldiers each have been pacified.
7 slave house have been secured.
All 4 entrances are been well guarded.
467 humans have surrendered.
3 more floors before complete pacification of the mine.
[/table]
Not even 7 minutes has passed…
How Goliah reported it, and what the slaves and slavers see were completely the opposite.
Those slaves that had been escorted inside the mine saw the hell… those strange orbs killing all the humans except those that throw their weapon and raise their hands… it was a systematic wipe out.
Killing nonstop at every corner, at every room, those that were having their fun with the slaves, those that were sleeping those that were preparing themselves the moment they heard the alarm they fall as quick as a wink, those lucky enough that saw everything before it was their turn throw away their weapons saving their life.
“LIES!! I KNOW IT IS A LIE!! WE ARE 5 THOUSAND STRONG MEN INSIDE THE MINE!!!”
“But almost 2500 have been pacified.”
[table=black] Warning.
Source of unknown energy have been located deep inside the mine and it is increasing its output.
[/table]
“Goliah gives me the details.”
The slave manager didn’t know what they were talking about it wasn’t a language he knows, but he saw the slight changed of expression of the man with white and gold armor.
“HAHAHA SERVES YOU RIGHT FUCKING BASTARD!!!”
“Goliah break his legs.”
[table=black] Acknowledge.
[/table]
Goliah released him from his grab and throw him to the floor; it was a free fall of 40 meters, calculated so he will receive severe damage on his legs but will survive none the less.
“GYAAAAAAAAAA!!!! D-DAMn… yo….”
He fainted out of pain.
A big source of unknown energy have been located inside the mine.
It is not good… he need the mine… perhaps it is using all the minerals inside of it… worse it will compromise the alternate mission of rescuing the gnomes, dwarves and cat-tribe.
He moved into Goliah again. This time Goliah helped him to get inside… in the eyes of others it seemed that he has been flying.
“WAIT!! Please valorous hero! Wait!!”
One of those 5 VIP females called out for him… unlike all those other slaves these 5 VIP females have elegant clothes. Particularly this one has a long light blue dress and a powder blue blouse, she has long ears and a white as snow skin… her eyes were like two ocean pearls… long deep blue hair… her hands are tied behind her, she isn’t wearing shoes and she has the black colored collar on her neck…
When Leo heard her voice… for the first time he felt fascinated by the beings called woman.
She is talking human language so it is easy for Goliah to translate it. Goliah also noticed the physical and mental change on Leo, and decided that for now it is ok to let things flow as it is…
“Yes?”
She has her hands on her chest, her expression shows a lot of fear and concern.
“Valorous hero. This magic we are feeling it comes from from A-Agnis, do you know where it is?”
He took notice that she knew what is happening but doesn’t know where it is, he assumed she wouldn’t know how to stop it either.
He look at the charts on the display in his screen and saw that it is still increasing the energy in an alarming phase.
“No. I don’t.”
“Then hear me out valorous hero. That is an ancient god… I don’t know what humans were trying to accomplish trying to summon it… but we have no way to defeat it please take us with you and escape!”
That is something he didn’t expect to hear… he would lose too much if he were to leave this place.
“I am sorry but I will not escape from here. The first step to achieve my mission starts here.”
“But valorous hero!”
He closed the cabin’s door he felt that if he continued hearing her… he may indeed escape from here.
“Goliah triangulate the source of unknown energy. We will try to take it out from here.”
[table=black]
“Acknowledge.
Scanning…
Scanning…
Location confirmed.
It is exactly on our feet, 5km deeps.
It has a circular form.”
[/table]
It is deeper than the last floor of the mine, he thought.
“Use those drones… use 25 and excavate it… use the other 10 to remove the people below me on all the floors I will use the heavy weapon to open a path.
Plasma cannon, minimal output confirmed… targeting area…
Fire.”
The estimated radius of the energy source is 10 meters… the plasma beam it has a 7 meters radius, it will take some time to open a path… the best thing he could do is hope that the people inside the mine won’t be kill as a collateral damage.
The source of energy have been found and the drones sent a visual of it.
It is a big piece of earth, on top of it there is a circle draw with red blood
“It is indeed a big circle… with triangles and squares inside it… Goliah you don’t know that language right?”
Around the circle there are some unknown letters.
[table=black] Negative. Taking images for future research.
[/table]
“Perfect. How many minutes before you remove it from the ground?”
[table=black] 6 minutes, you will open a path in 5.
Alduim is requesting a conversation.
[/table]
“Granted. We have some minutes.”
“Excuse me Mr. Goliah, can you tell me how it is going?”
“Right now I can’t sent you images of her but she is ok.
I am busy removing something.”
“Something?”
“Someone call it Agnis summon.”
“What???!!! We can’t fight it we have to escape now!!!”
“Impossible, don’t worry I’ll move it to another isolated location.”
The conversation took longer than expected…
The slaves that were already inside the mine couldn’t escape because of the orders they receive, while those outside couldn’t escape on their own because of the fence.
-POOM- -POOM- -POOM-
Rocks are falling apart everything was happening to fast that the slaves didn’t have time to scream… suddenly out of the hole that Goliah created, a piece of the ground is floating slowly… it radiated a menacing red aura…
“Goliah do you have any information about that?”
[table=black] Old world’s folklore labelled it as a transmutation circle.
This unknown energy should be what was call MAGIC.
[/table]
“Really… you having random information is something I can’t say it is good or bad…”
[table=black] It is all thanks to Lapiz. There are other configurations that I can’t inform you due to protocols set up by Lapiz, using her words, please look forward to it.
[/table]
“It feels dreadful…”
“Mr... Goliah… is is that red light Agnis?”
Even from away from the source of light, Alduim could see it.
“No Alduim that is a transmutation circle to summon him?”
“You are asking it?”
“I only know this is the major source of energy inside the mine. I am moving it at the west. 20 drones will remain around the mine so until I finish this battle stay there with Esveta please.”
“Ok!”
Out of fear he didn’t try to destroy it.
The speed that he moved was indeed fast… in the confusion the manager tried to crawl and escape… but one of the drones appear in front of him and began to charge.
“O-ok I-I won’t escape!”
“Who who was that Miyuki?”
“Our hero Yue.”
That is small conversation Goliah heard it but didn’t share it with Leo.
[table=black] Alert.
Alert.
Space rift detected.
Repeat.
Space rift detected.
Massive amount of unknown energy detected.
Releasing transmutation circle now.
[/table]
This was the first time that Goliah did this kind of action on oys own. It perturbed Leo slightly.
“Goliah warrior mode.”
[table=black] Initiating Warrior mode.
Warrior mode online.
[/table]
The heavy weapon arms move and become the main arms, while the multipurpose arms move above the shoulders and both of them took out the light laser guns.
The face of Goliah got covered by an almost full-helm only a cross-like hole could be seen, the light of its eyes changed to red
-rumble- -rumble- -rumble-
[table=black] Alert
Alert
Temperature rising on an exponential rate.
Shield holding. 50 minutes until it collapse.
[/table]
-boom- -boom- -boom-
Leo heard like explosions but they came from the transmutation circle
It began to break apart…
“ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR”
Two enormous hands split that circle in two right after that a big head with skin like burning earth and flaming eyes pop out between the hands. It could been seen with his roar he spit lava everywhere.
“YOU INSIGNIFICANT MORTALS!!! YOU DARE TO SUMMON ME? AGNIS THE GOD OF FLAMES?!!!”
“He seems rather rebellious.”
[table=black] Agnis was known as a god of flame previously known as agni from the vedic period of the old world.
[/table]
“Wait, this is not the time for it.”
He begin shooting with his light laser guns
-pew- -pew- -pew- -pew-
The size of it is ridiculous just its eyes are a bit smaller than Goliah.
All four shot were aimed at his left eye
“GUAAAGH YOU DAMN MORTAL DO YOU DARE TO HURT ME? YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN THAT!!!”
Slowly his body is leaving the space rift, his chest can be seen now.
“Goliah increase output of heavy weaponry to its limit.”
[table=black] Acknowledge.
[/table]
“Activate plasma and solid weaponry.”
He target its head again,
“HAHAHAHA PLAYING WITH FIRE HUMAN?! LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE FIRE IS!!”
He spit flame and Goliah shoot his plasma ammunition.
For some time it was a stalemate but slowly Agnis is escaping from the space rift, right now he is waist could be seen.
It was a grandiose spectacle, a red flame clashing with a green light slowly the red flame began to win the stalemate.
Leo next used his light laser guns on its eye again.
“GUAAHJ YOU DAMN HUMAN PLAYING DIRTY TRICKS?!!”
The shots on its eye perturbed him a little and the ground he won, he lost it… Goliah keep firing at its eyes… but sadly Agnis just closed its eyes.
“WHAT IS THIS??? YOU PATHETIC HUMAN YOU ARE SO INSIGNIFICANT THAT YOU HAVE NO MAGIC HAHAHAHA. DAMN YOU IT WILL BE HARD TO FIND YOU LIKE THIS.”
Agnis finally noticed that Goliah isn’t emitting magic so he conclude it isn’t using magic.
He also didn’t notice Goliah size and thought he was a human because of his humanoid form… he even ignore the tail and the other 2 arms.
“Goliah lets take evasive maneuvers, else we will lost all of our energy.”
[table=black] Affirmative energy cells reduced by 10 %.
[/table]
They took the opportunity when Agnis eyes were closed and flight deep into the sky.
“Goliah furtive mode.”
Goliah become invisible and at the same time, he stop emitting noise.
“Goliah go into the stratosphere.”
[table=black] Acknowledge.
[/table]
“HMMM PATHETIC HUMAN GOT BORED ALREADY??? HMM??? WHERE ARE YOU?”
Finally he took his legs out of the transmutation circle. He was big as mount Tai, he was a blazing flame with humanoid body, his nails were pure lava, and his garments were nothing but flames of multiple colors.
Goliah reached the stratosphere.
“Goliah god mode 8 seconds it is all I need. Prepare the superheavy weapon and send 20 drones and surround him I’ll do the rest.”
[table=black] 8 seconds will be too much.
I am giving you 5.
[/table]
“No that thing is 8 times tougher than a suicide owl and 3 times stronger than a warrior class owl!! Give me 8 seconds”
[table=black] Granted.
[/table]
20 drones surrounded Agnis.
“WHAT IS THIS? FLIES? HAHAHAHA”
They began to dance around the sky firing at him intensively.
“HAHA AUU AHAHAH AU AU THOSE THINGS SURE ARE BOTHERSOME… HMMM???”
While he was getting distracted by the drones he look up into the sky and for once he felt dread…
His instincts yelled him to use his greatest spell at once
“YOU DAMN HUMAN… WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!!!”
He couldn’t gather the mana to cast his magic, the ball of energy traveled at the speed of light…
And 50 meter above from Agnis it turned into a black hole.
…
For some time there was only silence
[table=black] God mode deactivated.
Standby mode initiated.
[/table]
-huff- -huff- -huff-
“Using god mode in a planet is so stressing…”
The information gathered by all the drones and his unit is sent to his mind, every single leaf moving around the sky… every single ant traveling in the ground… that information, he receive it, it was thousands of times more intense than in space… it slow down his reaction speed considerably but thankfully it was only one enemy.
The only reason he used god mode is to use the experimental heavy weapon.
He has to make some deep changes on his unit so he will stop receiving useless information.
“Goliah send all drones to the mine and make a diagnosis, how much materials did we lost and how many slaves remain alive. Inform Alduim and Esveta that they can come to the mine.”
[table=black] Acknowledge.
[/table]
When he return all those female slaves were watching his Goliah yelling with happiness.
When he got out of his unit the VIP female that talk to him a moment ago was the first to arrive and…
She hugged him tightly.
“M-miss?? May I help you?”
“My name is Miyuki, valorous hero please accept me as a gratitude for what you have done.”
“What? Please wait for a bit.”
He was confused with her wording…
Something that he didn’t know is that Agnis the god of flame is a god of calamity, stronger than the demon lord but with only one thing in purpose… to burn it all… if Agnis was left alone… perhaps the living beings in the world would have been able to do something… but her city was too close, her friends, family and more they would have been one of the first to fall into extinction, the other elf wasn’t exactly the same but this is something he will learn later.
Something else worth to mention is that Leo Thought that Agnis was a defensive system for the mine, at least for the mean time he thought like that.
“My name is Yue, please as Miyuki said, accept me as a gratitude for saving us.”
“THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! HOW CAN HE FLY??? WHAT WERE ALL THOSE FLYING BALLS?!!”
Now those questions he do understand.
“They are drones and my unit use graviphoton, supergravity and gravity fields to fly on the planet. In space it use solar energy and antimatter.”
“…what?”
[table=black] Leo, you shouldn’t share that information.
[/table]
“…yes you are right… I don’t know why I say it…”
[table=black] that is a thing call adrenaline… it reduce your … reservation toward the opposite sex.
[/table]
“…I want to ask but I won’t…”
“Alduim can you tell me the name of the noble’s daughter?”
“Jackeline Watson.”
“Ok… Miss Jackeline Watson, the dwarf Alduim will be here in short to escort you back to your kingdom.”
“WHAT? HE IS COMING???? IT TOOK HIM SO MUCH TIME!!!”
He ignored her and remembered the manager of the mine so he move towards his direction.
“What was that and are there more?”
He said it and of course the manager didn’t understand him. But he understood Goliah’s drone that was behind him… he resign himself out of fear.
“I I I I d d don’t know… please just let me go.”
“Denied I need labor force and you guys will give it.”
“What? But you have all those slaves inside the mine!”
“I will free them, of course if some want to stay they are free to do but details are something that you don’t need to know.”
Soon Alduim arrived with Esveta. Each of them went to different places, Alduim run to Jackeline while Esveta run with the group of women.
What Esveta was looking for… was something he would not be able to know until much later in time.
Alduim hugged Jackeline with all his might and start crying, but Jackeline told him about that flying piece of ground and that big golem fighting Agnis she was deeply excited… it was like she forgot she is currently a slave (because of the collar) and should treat the matter seriously.
After some time Alduim met with Goliah and started talking to him. Jackeline laugh none stop because of that and brought Alduim to Leo.
“Alduim this is the master of that golem. Your name is….”
“I am Corporal Leo De La Cruz Flores a pleasure to finally meet you Alduim.”
His suit is still on white and gold, his skin is slightly pale because of him using god mode. Normally he wouldn’t feel these repercussions with just few seconds, but he used all the medicine he has on that battle with the tiger squad long ago. The nano-drones are able to build equipment not medicine.
“So you are the owner of Goliah, is it?”
“Indeed.”
“You have my deepest gratitude in helping our kingdom to rescue our people. If you ever need something please let us know, her father will pay you for your assistance, and our kings will gladly pay you for rescuing their people.”
I want to know something… can you help me in returning these people to their villages or town? I don’t have the resources nor time to help them.”
“Master Leo, I will stay here” Miyuki said.
“So do I master Leo.” Yue said.
The other 2 VIP girls were still on shock with all this events… unlike Yue and Miyuki they were a bit younger.
Some of the slaves wish to stay as well. They are more on the idea of protection. In their homes, they were taken… later abused raped drug and trained… returning home to let them happen all of that again is something they don’t wish for, or their villages were burned down, or they just don’t know where they are from they don’t want to suffer all of that again… not when their knight in white armor came to their rescue.
“It is something complicated… but I believe that our kings will accept it. If this is what you need then I will depart immediately the faster the better right?”
“Indeed. Thanks a lot Alduim, I will remain. Here this place will be my base of operations from now on.”
“!! For preservation and peace is it?”
“Indeed.”
“Ok we will be back in 5 weeks… with carriages and provisions… but in 2 weeks we will sent provisions to help you with these people.”
“I deeply appreciate it.”
“I WANT TO STAY!!!!!! I WANT TO PLAY WITH THAT GOLEM!!!!”
“Please Miss Jackeline, your father is deeply worry about you. How about you go stay with your father and then you can come back with me.”
She stayed quiet for some seconds.
“Ok. I will do as you say. Mr…Leo I hope we meet again.”
“So do I.”
And like that Alduim and Jackeline returned to their kingdom.
“That guy sure is talkative… “
Esveta said.
“Did you find what you wanted to find?”
For a second her eyes turned red, she crushed her left hand so hard that her claw pierce her hand and bleed a little.
“No. they don’t know…”
“Ok… I have a favor to ask, go to your town and tell to the major we have people of your town here.”
Absentminded she answered.
“Ok. Can you lend me one of those drones?”
She got used to the terms she heard from him.
“Sure Goliah lend him two.”
[table=black] her town is farther away than 100 km, this unit is not able to send her back to home directly.
[/table]
“It is ok if it helps me to travel for some time is all I need.”
“Ok. Good luck”
Like that she went to her town.
“Goliah your energy cells?”
[table=black] 60%. The battle with Agnis was harder than expected.
Solar energy insufficient for stable energy supply.
[/table]
“How many shells do we have?”
[table=black] 9 more shots at maximum capacity but if you want to use the output you used against Agnis we have 80 shots.
[/table]
“Complicated… I hope this world doesn’t have enemies of that caliber else we won’t survive for long… Goliah move into the mine. Let’s use the deepest floor to initiate the construction of the terraforming A.I. system and interface.”
[table=black] Acknowledge.
[/table]
When Leo move inside the mine all the slaves got scared… but the drones are still patrolling around, 10 drones are guarding the human slaves 20 more are moving the human miners outside the mine while 8 are patrolling inside the mine using eco-location and infrared.
Miyuki came close to him again.
“Master Leo, may I help you with something?”
“Goliah, protocols for normal miners in the conglomerate?”
“8 hour of job a day for 21 days straight and 14 days of vacation.”
“The slaves, those that are young and strong should keep working at the mine… all the resources they gathered should be drop on the pit were… the golem is currently in.
They have to work 8 hours a day in three groups. I mean one group for the morning another evening and the other night… they can decided their schedule but the mine must keep working.
Let some of the female slaves watch over the humans they don’t need to be scared the drones are enough to deal with them if they get rude.
Do you understand?”
“Yes master Leo; Yue, Alice, Kelly come with me lets assist Master Leo as much as we can.”
Those VIP females moved on their own… but if they keep the mine working it would be ideal… or so he thought.
“Goliah assist them with the drones, one drone for each of them, if they have questions answer them ok?”
[table=black] Acknowledge.
[/table]
Some areas of the mine remained hostile for a while… very few humans remain fighting but most gave up when they saw Agnis been defeated in some unknown way.
The slaves thought they changed from one owner to another but it was different, with the previous owner they worked 16 hours straight no time for relax, now they only need to work half.
A problem arise when Leo let them decide their schedule… it was not ideal… Goliah decided that the schedules should be arranged by race and age. The females were the most complicated… those that spent too much time inside the mine inside those red rooms were already broken… they couldn’t work at all… they remain in their respective rooms after it was cleaned… the new females tried their best to help them… but it is something that will take years to heal.
Some other females on the other hand decide to work in the mines as well… a major issue is that no one can go away… they have a collar that do not permit them leave the mine, and for the females it doesn’t let them leave the floor they are in.
The VIP girls were not that good at managing the mine… but it was ok, Goliah could do it, the issue were food and a retaliation from the human empire but it is something that would not happen right now…
At the second week they receive the food from the gnome and dwarf kingdom.
At the fourth week the mine stop functioning at the order of Leo. He informed them that people is coming to help them set free, those that wants to remain here are allowed to do so and those that want to return home, the dwarf and gnome kingdom will help them do so.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
It is ok for Leo as well. Goliah informed him that they have enough material for a room update and A.I. installations, basic equipment and basic defensive systems so the slaves now have to work a lot less. Ideal now that there is going to be a few of them from now on.
Leo as well recollect enough information regarding this new world.
He asked where they are from, the same as the adventurers they are from the rainbow empire.
Why this mine has so many materials, it is because of a mana vein below the mine, it seems the vein was used as a form to feed the summoning spell at least that is what miyuki thought after the manager told them that.
When will the humans from the rainbow empire come to collect the materials from this mine, it will be in 3 months. But with the slaver dealer been retained here they may come faster.
He also ask him regarding about the empire army, its strengths and weaknesses, how it is build and what weaponry they use.
And the last about magic. The manager had 4 magic guards which 3 died in the confusion, the fourth one disappear after goliah began its suppression.
Yue and Miyuki were there and learned everything as well. For some obvious reasons he couldn’t deny Miyuki’s pleads of staying and listening to him.
Esveta return with some people of the cat tribe… they met with some of the girls outside the mine and found the rest inside the mine they all cried at seeing them… the scars and suffers will remain… but perhaps with time everything will heal, not be forgotten but enough to move on. They found 50 cat tribe 30 males and 10 females inside the cave, another 10 females outside the cave.
They couldn’t do anything until the dwarf and gnomes returned.
Jackeline returned and embrace Leo after that she asked him where Goliah is… he said he was busy which make Jackeline rather unhappy.
But she began talking with a drone.
Their group arrived with 30 big carriages. And 10 small carriages… and an army of 300 soldiers. As a precaution, Leo activated his suit in defensive mode and sent the drones on furtive mode to ambush them in case they try to claim the mine.
Yue, Alice, Kelly are deep down with Goliah in case something odd happen, Miyuki was surrounded by 3 drones on standby, and around them there were 30 more drones on furtive mode.
A dwarf, a gnome and Alduim move together slowly.
Leo did the same with Miyuki, Esveta was down in the mine checking the other entrances.
“Mr… Leo, we came as promised.”
“Indeed. Thank you.”
“This noble dwarf at my side is Jackeline’s father, Fausto Watson and this one is the princess of the gnome kingdom Amelie Adinolfi, they both come with some soldiers to help you return all the slaves to their home.”
They are here not with hostile intentions at least that is what Leo thought.
Fausto was a rather old man with barely visible hair and long grey beard.
Amelie her height is that of a girl of 8-10 years she has brown eyes and hair and smooth skin as a baby… if it wasn’t for her already developed body, Leo would have thought she was a kid…
Leo thought… why are they sending a young woman here?
“muohohohoho so this is Leo, isn’t he? He is my type. Call me just Amelie I will be 18 years old this year. Pleasure to meet you.”
Although Goliah didn’t translate the laugh he was deeply impress by it… it was a grimly laugh… but the voice in general was rather girlish… but what impress him absolutely the most is her age… gnomes are really small he thought.
One must remember that he saw gnomes sitting on moving golems so although he got basic information of their height seem in in person was an entirely different matter.
“Please excuse princess Amelie words. She means no harm so please rest at ease.”
“It is ok please, don’t worry.”
“So that is the voice of Goliah right? Those are the things that you control as well?” Fausto asked. When he turn and look Miyuki, he got captivated by her for a second but after that he look at the floating balls.
“Yes as you can hear me, I don’t know any of your languages so I am using Goliah as a communication channel with you.”
“It is rather amazing… and what kind of magic does it use?”
He as well is part of the dwarf race, they were always searching for innovations that’s why they were on such friendly terms with the gnomes, and the gnomes always have something useful and new.
“That information is something I cannot shared it, I am sorry.”
“Now now don’t worry about it, after all you saved not only my daughter but a lot of our people as well.”
“Where is Goliah?”
Jackeline was looking from left to right she is deeply curious as well.
“Currently he is working, I am sorry again.”
“Working???”
“Sorry.”
The conversation isn’t going anywhere both sides understood it.
“May I ask you to remove the collars on the demi-humans? Leave the humans with the collars as well and if possible please put those collars on the humans on the third floor.”
He was direct. He wasn’t trained in diplomacy after all.
“Ok count with us. I will go for now the princess wants a conversation with you.”
“I would like to invite you inside. But most of it is not a pretty sight to have.”
“May I ask to see… Goliah is it?”
“I am sorry but not know.”
[table=black] Leo, this unit has basic diplomacy functions.
for the future of the conglomerate colony having friendly terms with nations of the new world is a necessity, if by showing this unit can achieve this you have to do it.
Maybe if she look at this unit, it could also be used as a force of persuasion later on.
[/table]
The last phrase of Leo wasn’t translated, and the words from Goliah weren’t heard by Amelie.
She inclined her head wondering what he said, she knew human language and his wasn’t.
“…Sure come with me.”
After some time considering it, he decided to listen to goliah.
With that answer Amelie got stars on her eyes.
“That’s really nice! Thank you!! My beauty captivate you right??? Muohohohohohoho!!!”
That grimly laugh perturbed Leo greatly.
He escort her inside the mine, they reach the hole that Goliah made and made the attitude of Amelie a drastic change.
“What is that Leo?”
[table=black] A quarry.
[/table]
It was a big machine that seems that is been kick out of the mine.
From it dust and stone is exported behind the mine, it was hard to tell what the purpose of that was.
[table=black] It send stones, and marble to the ground, they are necessary material for building households. All the rest is been use inside.
[/table]
“All else?”
She knew that a lot of metals, gems and other things are extracted from here. They never knew its location but know what it produce… or better say they didn’t know what it didn’t produce.
[table=black] Yes Corporal Leo will escort you to my location soon.
[/table]
It was a place that only the 4 VIP females and Esveta knew about.
“What is this room? It is so small and white.”
She said it while looking at the room that Leo entered.
“It is an elevator; it will send us to where Goliah currently is working.”
She has question marks on her head but enter it anyway.
Soon she felt dizzy.
“wha- what are you doing to me?”
She is preparing a spell but is scared because the room is too small, she can harm herself as well.
[table=black] What your body is feeling right now is a sense of vertigo please let me assist you, look behind you and you will understand.
[/table]
The completely white room changed its walls from white to a transparent one.
She turn around and saw the mine slowly moving up
“Oh for the goddess sake!!!”
She tried to stick to the wall but hit Leo, both of them fall.
“kyaaa!!”
She screamed when she felt Leo’s hand on her shoulder. She jump away from him but stop as quick as possible because of the fear of falling from the small room and embrace him and stuck to him like glue.
[table=black] Princess Amelie, please hold yourself. You arrived at the lowest floor.
[/table]
“So so fast!?”
She barely have time to remember what she look outside, she was too scared to fall and too scared of Leo’s touch at most she remembered that big arm of metal and stones. Nothing else
The lowest floor is completely white just like the elevator but it was insanely big…
“Miss Amelie I recommend you to stop walking.”
She didn’t realize it but she was walking absentmindedly until…
-peeng-
“kyaaaaa!!!” she fall on her tiny butt.
“Goliah deactivate furtive mode. Why were you on furtive mode?”
[table=black] Topophobia asked this unit that request, he is getting an update of this unit capabilities.
[/table]
“Topophobia is online?”
“Yes but it will take some time before he is able to communicate with you.”
Topophobia is the name of the terraforming A.I.
Each A.I. has a phobia-like name, Goliah assisting A.I. name is Tonitrophobia for example but it considered itself as Goliah because of his mainframe and interaction with the pilot.
“THAT THAT THAT IS GOLIAH???”
“Yes that is Goliah”
Right now Goliah has multiple wires out of its chest and head they were connected to something far away.
Its right knee is on the floor, its tail is on the floor making a soft curve, its right multipurpose arm is on its right knee and its left multipurpose hand on the floor, both its heavy weapons are on the floor and the experimental super heavy weapon is on the heavy weapon hands, there were a series of wires connected to the experimental super heavy weapon going in the same direction as the previous wires.
Right now it is on standby mode, its colors are black primary with lines of gold its human like face has its eyes colored with white.
“Is it kneeling down for me?”
She is mesmerized by the sight, like a knight offering its blade to his king, except that it wasn’t a blade but she knew it was a weapon nevertheless.
“No princess right now it is like this because of certain details.”
“Can it move?”
She moved closer and touch it
“Right now not princess.”
“It is so cold.”
“It is because of the alloys the outer armor is made of.”
Sometime has pass while she continued to gently stroke it… she moved from his knee to what is supposed to be its tibia. Her breath become erratic, the more she touch it the less she understand it.
“I feel no magic… how does it talk? How does he learn?”
“That is something I can’t explain, sorry princess.”
“A secret related with magic uh? I like it.”
In fact he didn’t know at most he knew something call genetic algorithm and fuzzy neural network, Lapiz told him about them and teach him as well but it was too complicated and he forget it in the end.
Finally she woke up from her dream. And look at Leo again.
“What do I need to do so you can teach me to summon…”
She turned her face midway her sentence… she is deeply captivated by Goliah…
“To summon this this work of god?”
“I am sorry, I can’t teach you.”
“Hmmm what about if I become your wife?”
She turned to face Leo.
“Wife?”
“Not enough?”
Slowly and coquettish she began to walk close to him, with her right index finger she began to write some letters on his chest, if he knew her alphabet he would understand she wrote sex.
“I can make it so father can make you the king of the dwarf kingdom… with that magic and blacksmith knowledge you have, no dwarf or gnome will have something against you.”
She moved her right hand to his neck and her left hand played around his lower chest.
“King?”
“Not enough? I saw how you stare that ice elf at the entrance… we can help you dominate all of her race, they all can become yours as well.”
While playing she tried to bring Leo down to her height but sadly he didn’t know that game and oppose her.
“Goliah what is she talking about?”
Finally Leo couldn’t endure it and asked Goliah what she is talking about.
[table=black] Hypothesis: she is trying to make a trade, my schematics in exchange for having her as your sexual partner was the beginning of the deal, it escalated to become someone superior to a council member of her nation, and finally she is talking slaving Miyuki’s race entirely.
[/table]
“… How did this reach to that level?”
He barely murmured that one.
[table=black] Data unavailable.
[/table]
Goliah answered it with the speakers on Leo’s armor.
“Can we discuss in another time?”
“Hmmm the hard boy uh? It is ok but I will visiting you soon. So give me an answer by then.”
She winked at him and released him.
She continued to stare passionately at Goliah for another hour…
It was the first time that Goliah felt perturbed…
The other 3 VIP females move out the fifth floor and they talked with Jackeline… because of the dreadful future they felt it was coming on that carriage, they all form some sort of a bond…
Jackeline was intrigue by where is Goliah, but unlike Amelie she just played around with Yue and Miyuki for some time and fall asleep on her carriage.
The people of Fausto and Amelie build a dining table outside the mine, they clean the surrounding area, and it became a big open space of 100 meters.
Miyuki, Yue, Alice and Kelly were on Leo’s side, while Fausto, Jackeline, Alduim and Amelie were on the other.
“Please pardon my daughter… she is just young and all feels so magical for her… I hear from the females here that they think you are some sort of a white knight.”
Fausto remained silent for some time while staring at Leo.
“And how you fought Agnis, how you rescued them and set them free. It isn’t hard to understand their feelings.”
“Can you tell me exactly how the… transmutation circle is it? How was it made of?”
Alduim did that question.
[table=black] That shouldn’t be share, the war potential of that thing was rather high. Having to fight it again could be catastrophic.
[/table]
“I am sorry Alduim but that is something I don’t know… it was a circle… and because I was running out of time I couldn’t gather enough data of it.”
Because he wasn’t a Politian he was bad at lying… nevertheless with his military might it forced people to believe him, which is something he didn’t know though.
“If you say so Mr… Leo”
Their maids and butlers brought food out of their carriages.
“I hope you can enjoy the food of our kingdoms.”
So far Leo didn’t eat the food of the manager, he let the VIP girls eat it, he was used to his provisions but finally he began to run out of them.
“Thanks for bringing us food for the other people as well.”
Although there is food for them, it doesn’t have enough nutrients to work at their most ideal form.
“No problem. No problem our people is there as well.”
The food was delicious… it was the first time that Leo eat something like that… it smell amazing as well… the food of the manager seems nice and smell nice but this food was the paramount of food.
“Mr. Leo is there some trouble?”
He cried without noticing it.
“No no the food is delicious I thank you for it.”
“hohoho not at all young man not at all, just eat to your heart content.”
“Master please don’t cry.”
Miyuki said while cleaning his face.
He became stiff by this sudden invasion of his personal space.
Yue look at it with an intriguing face. The other two young woman so far didn’t get too much in contact with him
Yue and Miyuki are of the same race but have some variation, while Miyuki was a combination of white and blue, Yue was combination of black and grey, black skin and grey hair, her eyes are black as well, both of those girls skin seems smooth and the dresses they have covered all their bodies at most one could see the that they have somewhat big chest.
Alice was a demi-human, a sheep-tribe female with greyish wool, because of their collars orders these young woman couldn’t wash themselves they use magic to clean themselves at most but it is not enough for Alice, the wool on Alice cover her sides, part of her cheeks but her face, hands and feet do not have wool at all; one could see her beautiful white skin, her garment is that of a sheeper simple clothes but unlike Alice and Yue that hide their bodies, one could see Alice waist, and when she walk, one could see her thighs behind her long skirt. Her eyes are black, her collar was somewhat different as well she has a bell on it, easy to find when she is near.
She barely talks when she is in front of Leo she always have her head facing the floor with a blushed face. Nevertheless she is extremely grateful to him, even the person himself think she is afraid of him.
Kelly is a human, Leo tried to talk to her, but she didn’t answer, Miyuki explained to him that at the slave store they did something to her throat so she won’t be able to speak anymore. She knows how to write and read though.
She as the other girls has a smooth pinkish skin, her golden long hair makes her seen as a bright sun. She also has a garment that cover all her body like Miyuki and Yue. Her eyes are grey.
Miyuki told him that all of those 5 girls were virgins no trained by the slave dealers, but the one that bought her wanted her mute and submissive that is why she acts this way.
Alduim and Fausto from time to time look at them, they were extremely beautiful. Fausto asked.
“So Mr. Leo, what are you planning to do with them? It seems they are special to you.”
Of all the women that are here only those 4 are allowed to be at the sixth basement floor Esveta wasn’t allowed any longer, but her was as a punishment she touch some stuff their and almost kill herself, she isn’t attending this dinner, Leo invited her but she refused.
“It seems they are all special, Miyuki seems to be the sister of someone important of her race, and your daughter was with them. I thought maybe they were not just beautiful women.”
It was the first time that Leo said they are beautiful they all blushed at the same time, their white knight seems to care for them the most… it indeed made them feel happy, but then it seems he has some information of them so he may have some plans for them or so they thought.
“I plan, with the exception of Kelly, to set them free and I hope you can take them to their homes as well.”
“Master Leo!”
“Leo-sama!”
All the three young woman except Kelly frantically stand up.
“Why do you want to kick us away?”
Miyuki was the first to question him. The other two wanted to know as well, indeed Alice barely have contact with him, but it was because she was extremely shy and still has some lingering fear toward males, but she thought that with Leo there shouldn’t be any issue. Yue and Miyuki although not the same, have the same feelings as her.
“I am not kicking you, for now I don’t want to be hostile with other races, taking this mine has mark me as number one enemy of the rainbow empire. If I didn’t release Jackeline the dwarf race would have declare war on me and they would have made the gnomes get into the war… your races should be the same… Miyuki… Alice I know you two are hiding something… at least it is not malicious so I am ok with it… if you want you can come back, but only after showing you are ok and are willing to come back on your own accord.”
He said all this while looking at them with a calm look.
“Kelly I am sorry I can’t release you; you been human is enough of a reason to not free you, as a matter of fact those human slaves that are here I don’t plan to release them either. At least not until I build all the infrastructure I need.”
She gave two nods. She cried for a while… he thought it was because she wanted to go back.
“What are you planning to do Leo?”
This time Amelie did a question. She didn’t like the reaction of all of those women but kept quiet anyway.
“I am building a colony in this area. In 5 months I would have secure this area completely.”
“Colony? Are you from an empire of another continent?”
This is something she didn’t expect, although she wanted to know how to summon a Goliah, having another human nation with such a powerful military might was no joke either.
“No, for now I am not sure of what race this colony will be.”
Humans from the conglomerate is impossible… so far Goliah didn’t found where they are in the universe.
Humans of this world… he is already hostile with the rainbow empire.
It only leaves demi-humans… of course if things change other races can be assimilated as well.
“For now I think it will be a demi-human colony.”
The eyes of the dwarves and the gnome went wide open. Does it means there are other demi-humans with the ability to summon a Goliah? What were they doing… what are they going to do…
Miyuki and Alice felt in deep thought… they both are demi humans… and it is possible to have good relationship with this new colony… even better they can become part of this new colony with their people… they have the ability to do it… but falling into slavery, it won’t make things easier for Miyuki… the trust on her should have hit rock bottom… her friends and family could think she have been massively brain washed so they could lure more innocent people into slavery…
Even so she would try it. Yue would just do it because she didn’t have an option.
“Ok Leo-sama please help me return to my home, I will discuss this with my friends.”
Alice said it while looking in to his eyes, the movement of her face was so fast that the bell on her neck sound.
“Ok Master Leo, I will return with good news as well.”
Miyuki said and Yue nodded.
“Hmmm it seems things are escalating too fast here right Fausto?”
“Indeed princess… we have to talk about this with our kings as well…”
After all he took over the mine in less than 5 minutes, force into submission more than 500 humans here and defeated Agnis… especially defeating Agnis.
It is a force hard to ignore… more if it is at doors of their kingdoms…
“Well Mr. Leo, after finishing our dinner allow us to return home.”
“Of course, but I hope that you will help these ladies return to their home quick and safely.”
“Of course Leo I have brought 200 gnomes able to summon golems with high speed taking 3 for them is not a problem… but we will need to know where they are going to prepare rations.”
“Yes if you have a map we can show you.”
Miyuki said.
“Ok Mr. Leo, we will begin removing the collars of these women shall we?”
“Yes please also…”
He look towards the entrance of the mine… and a drone could be seen bringing the ex-manager of the mine.
“I hope you could put a collar on this one as fast as possible.”
“Yes Mr. Leo we have to remake the slave contracts of all this humans… so far all the slaves here are under the contract of that man… even though he is not allowed to speak he can bring some harm to the slaves.”
It was good that he left him in confinement. Leo thought.
“What do you need?”
“Well… what we need would pretty much kill you, so we will try to do a roundabout method…”
That answer intrigue him… but he ignore it anyway…
It took one week to release every demi human slave, of course Miyuki, Yue and Alice left at the same time as Fausto and Amelie.
**************************************************************************
One month has passed since all of them left the mine…
The cat tribe has already move close to the mines, helping Leo managing the human slaves with pleasure.
Also not all slaves returned to their homes, the kuma race, dog and wolf tribe as well.
They also learn to use the stones and marble that is behind the mine… the first marble house made by the cat tribe have been built. They let Esveta have it as thanks to allowed them join this new way of life.
She didn’t care… she was rather restless those new cat-slaves that she met, they saw her mother once… but they didn’t knew where they were sending her… she really wanted to steal Goliah… but she has been forbidden getting inside the sixth floor… the only way to go there is by that elevator… and it won’t open for her… of course she knew that even if she get inside go to the sixth floor, and talk with goliah… it won’t work for her… it only takes order from Leo… she tried to lure him sexually this month… but he ignored her… she knows she is mutilated… that scar on her face is more than enough for Leo to ignore her she thought. She knew that he loved beauty… the reaction he had with Miyuki left a deep impression of him within her… it was the first time she saw him stiff…
She swear that she will find and train a beautiful woman… make Leo fall for her and manipulate him through her…
She keep talking to him though… little by little he is talking in human language… she is ok with it… she fully understand the language now that she is in charge of discipline of the human slaves.
She was on her bed devising schemes until…
[table=black] Topophobia A.I. Online
Humans, Cat-tribe, Kuma-tribe, Dog-tribe, Wolf-tribe greetings.
From now on I will be in jurisdiction of infrastructure, social affairs and welfare of the people from the colony.
If you want assistance please talk trough the brown boxes around the mine.
New project initiated.
Project name: the eye.
Resources in the mine are not enough. If you know information of another mine like this one share it with Leo. We will reward you properly.
If you are interested been guards, future miners or affiliated please go and talk in the brown boxes as well.
Topophobia A.I. out. [/table]
The extraction in the mine grew exponentially in the past month… the slaves work the same as always 8 hours… but the extraction increase due to those weird objects that come out of the sixth floor.
“New mine? Will we attack another mine Goliah?”
She knew that they were creating another thing like Goliah, Leo told her that so she was not surprised by it.
Because she is a direct subordinate of Leo, a drone is always near her. She got accustomed to it, of course taking a shower or going to the bathroom still makes her feel uncomfortable.
[table=black]Negative if it is possible we would like to take it peacefully.
Topophobia has deep knowledge of diplomacy and is well versed on terraforming projects. [/table]
“Terraforming?”
[table=black] Reconstruction of the land so it is suitable for those that plan on using it.[/table]
Reconstruct… for that they need to destroy it first. That is the word that she loved the most.
“I like him already. Where is he?”
[table=black] Sixth floor [/table]
“Will he go up?”
[table=black] Negative. [/table]
She regret it, her curious heart cost her exclusion of the most important part of the mine.
However she could still communicate with Topophobia through those brown boxes.
She remembered them, those thin female humans’ job were those things related to domestic affair, they place those brown boxes around the mine while the robust ones are the ones in the mine.
“Well I will help him get information of a new possible mine…”
[table=black] Your help will be appreciated. Leo is worry about you, you pass less time with him than before. [/table]
“It is because he got friendly with those… humans…”
Some of the most beautiful female humans met him and said that they would like to work exclusively at his room. Which is something he didn’t deny… it was even encouraged by Goliah… since then, they become more daring with him… although he didn’t show the same reaction he had with Miyuki.
[table=black]It is a reward from the conglomerate. He is free to have intercourse with females of the new world until a council member is able to come here. [/table]
And it is not like Leo did it anyway… but he sooner rather than later will have a carnal life…
“Again the conglomerate? When will they come?”
She was rather curious of them, Leo alone has a might enough to destroy the rainbow empire, she knows it but are there more than him? She asked it before but it was not answered.
[table=black] Data unavailable. [/table]
The same answer as always.
“Well I want to kill some humans this time.”
Leo gave her some weapons, she learnt to use them rather quickly of course she is not permitted to use them on the slaves so she is waiting for a war with the rainbow empire… but they did nothing so far…
“Mother I will find you I swear…”
