Maxwell found himself having prepared for an attack by three pixie clans, which turned out to be nine. So the only way to prepare for such large numbers was to create weapons that could deal with enemies on a massive scale. Which for any nation would be a superweapon, as he lacked the ability to create heroes, so the classic superweapon was his only option.

Though how to go about creating one was going to be a rather interesting and troubling problem to tackle, especially considering he didn't have a body to tackle to begin with. Though as he recalled in the few memories he had left from his life from before, which was from the game Age of Legends, superweapons of a nation tend to be super versions of what they use.

So in the case of the game dwarves, one of the options for their nation's superweapons was a giant cannon; well, the orc nations had an option of a massive shaman ritual that called a massive berserker surge in an orc army, turning them into a powerful berserk horde. In both these cases the nation merely brought the greatest potential they could out of specific military technologies they had.

So if he followed that same logic, well, he currently had three new bases around him based on three different lines of his necromantic units. So he supposed trying to create one superweapon from each would be his best bet in pushing back nine different grass pixie clans. He looked at the three bases for a moment before deciding that the first superweapon he would create would be based on his catapults.

So he focused on his rather large catapult workshop to the south and had it stop making catapults and have the ones it had made form into three separate armies, then face towards the new smog wall border. He then reorganized his workshop so he had one massive exit instead of three smaller ones.

Maxwell then waited as the grass elementals gathered more and more material, adding it to the pile building in the catapult workshop as well as the necrotic smog that was filling the workshop. Once there was enough material, Maxwell got to work having an idea for the super catapult he wanted to create. So slowly, bit by bit, his creation began to take shape within the workshop.

Maxwell created the frames of nine angry grass catapults and then created the frames of nine sad grass catapults. He then combined all the angry grass catapults into one large frame and then did the same with the sad grass catapults. Now Maxwell had two giant frames; he then flipped the angry giant grass frame upside down so all their spring-loaded arms with spiked tips would be facing downward.

Maxwell then put the sad giant grass frame on top of the upside-down angry giant frame and then began the process of fusing them. Once that was done, he combined all the stone pebbles gathered and combined them into four giant wheels, which were then put on. With the body now complete, Maxwell added the final part that was needed, which was necrotic power. So he took all the angry and sad necrotic smog that had been filling the workshop and put it in the huge catapult.

The huge catapult came to life with a jolt as it shook and rattled before settling. It then rolled out of the workshop and made itself known as all catapults that felt its presence seemed to shake. The giant catapult gave off two auras, one of immense sadness and the other of intense rage, which clearly unsettled its fellow grass catapults.

"Well, it looks like I'm needed for the battles to come. I'm sorry!" The giant catapult said with eminent sadness before speaking again in a very different tone. "An if I catch any of you not doing your duty, there won't be anything left once I'm done with you, understood!" The mega catapult now raged at the smaller catapults, who gave their terrified compliance.

"Well, it seems being a combination of eighteen smog catapults and two different emotions has made the super catapult intelligent but emotionally unstable at the same time. Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm making just the one." Maxwell said to himself as he moved on to the butterfly nest and looked over the undead butterflies, seeing what made them dangerous.

Maxwell figured what made the butterflies dangerous was their ability to hypnotize the insects into becoming cannon fodder. So it made sense to focus in on that particular strength, though of particular interest was their ability to change their wings color, as they had already demonstrated, which had given Maxwell a rather interesting idea.

He used his ability to connect to his undead citizens through necromancy to pass the idea to Horter, whose response was, "It would be my honor, sire." He said it with such politeness, but the rapid flapping of his butterfly wings said that he was rather eager to see the idea made into a reality far more than his polite and respectful response would show.

So with the positive feedback of his zombie butterfly commander, who would be expected to command this particular weapon, he got to work. He had the undead butterfly nest build up more and more pieces of undead butterflies until he could probably make a hundred undead butterflies with the parts lying around.

So Maxwell, thinking these parts would be enough for the project, got to work. He first combined the spines of all the butterflies into one giant central pillar, then he collected their eyes and formed them into a massive sensor at the front of the massive butterfly project.

Now with the main body and the eyes out of the way, he moved on to the legs, combining them into eight giant legs. With the eyes, torso, and legs done, he moved on to the most important part, the wings. He created two sets of four wings; both sets were huge, but the bottom set was slightly smaller than the top set.

This was on purpose. Maxwell then showed why he did this by bringing this super butterfly to undeath, which proceeded to quickly take off. Once it was in the air, its bottom wings changed color to blend in to the sky, showing them to be cloaking wings. The top wings, with the slight edge over the bottom, though, were hypnotic wings. The edge they had over the bottom wings allowed them to be a small splash of color in the sky that could hypnotize those below but still be hidden.

Maxwell watched the large camouflaged butterfly as it flitted around for a bit before moving on to the wasp nest with the continued praise of Horter for his skill following him. Maxwell looked around the wasp nest for a moment, taking them in and trying to see what made them most dangerous, which was, of course, their stinger. The problem with that train of thought, Maxwell realized, was that the hornets couldn't always bring their stingers to bear against the enemy.

So he would have to create something that did that, and remembering how the undead hornets had been outmaneuvered by those grass pixies in that great hunt of theirs, a bigger hornet probably wasn't the way to go about it. He looked around for a long moment, then the sudden movement of a new undead hornet being spawned from the undead hornet hive gave him an idea.

He passed this idea along to Bunet, who was very pleased with this idea. "Must have bzzzz destroy enemies bzzzz with bzzzz I will bzzz." Bunet said he was very eager to have this new weapon to destroy enemies of the hive and creator. So he got to work on it by first gathering twigs.

Once he had enough twigs, he began to mulch them, getting a brown pulp, which he then used to form a sphere. He then got the undead hornets nest to give him the body parts of a hundred hornets. He then began preparing his sphere for the new additional parts it would receive.

Once the sphere had enough slots in what he considered the upper part, he began to put in hundreds of hornet wings, and slowly, with their unstopping buzzing of their wings, the sphere slowly took up into the sky. With the sphere now airborne, he added slots to its side and bottom. Maxwell then proceeded to put hornet eyes in all its side slots and stingers in all its bottom slots, allowing the now battle sphere to see and launch stingers.

Maxwell then decided to test its ability to regrow stingers it had fired, so Maxwell decided to have a big battle sphere test fire. Though he let Bunet have the honor of giving the order. "Fire bzzz!" She shouted out in excitement, causing a barrage of a hundred agonizing stingers to hit the ground and be quickly replaced within the battle sphere.

"Well, it looks like the battle here is done. So I will leave its use to you, Bunet." Maxwell stated leaving her in command of the battle sphere as he had left Horter in charge of the large cloaked butterfly. Bunet gave many praises for the honor and the creation of the battle sphere, but her voice was filled with too much excited buzzing to tell what was being said.

So Maxwell turned his sight from her and back to himself to think on his current preparations. "Well, I have created three super weapons that should be more than enough, right?" Maxwell said to himself, though he still felt nervous about having nine grass pixie clans invading his kingdom. As if to take his mind off it, a blue screen appeared to finalize the results of his creation of the weapons of mass destruction.

Through the experience in the creation of specific necrotic units you have created super weapons varients of these necrotic units which are the following.

The miserable rage catapult- a super catapult that had two layers of small catapults two it. If you come at it from below you find your self squished by the many arms of rage catapults. Well the top is made up of sad catapults sending a constant barrage of corrosive venom at the enemy. Though this combination of angry and sad catapults had caused this super catapult to always be in flux between the two emotions.

The cloaked butterfly ship- a giant undead butterfly with two sets of four wings it is constantly cloaking itself with one set well hypnotizing with the other. This allowed it to be a hidden threat turning armies against themselves without them knowing it was even there above them the entire time.

Hornet doom sphere- a sphere made out of wood pulp that uses the never tiring wings of undead hornets to stay floating in the sky with its ability as a partial nest its able to replace parts which includes the barrage of agonizing stingers it sends to those below it. This makes this sphere an unending threat to all who dare be below it because no matter how good you are one stinger will get you and then it's all over.

Note: you can have only one of every superweapon

Maxwell looked over the details of his superweapons and was rather pleased. Seeing the weapons lethality spelled out like this went a long way towards calming his nerves in the upcoming fight. As he didn't think even with their numbers and all their magic tricks, the nine grass pixie clans would have an easy time dealing with his superweapons.

"This isn't the story where the heroes destroy the necromancer and destroy his realm. No, not this time." Maxwell said with conviction as he waited for the army of the grass pixies to come for him and all that called his domain home.
