A/N So I read the comments from last chapter. Ran is only about a month pregnant so I think it was okay for her to have sex. Also you guys always ask for perverted stuff like that harem part, and suddenly when Ran has sex while she is pregnant everyone loses their minds! -_- help me understand plz. Also guys... the harem will come soon after a specific event where someone does something. It will probably come in like within 2-6 chapters maybe. I haven't thought it out completely yet.

Day 1,783
Ran and I had a long discussion the entire day about what we would name our child. I personally wanted it to be a boy because girls in their teenage years are devils. (trust me I had 2 sisters) But Ran didn't like the name Andromedus, which I thought was a badass name.
After much deliberation, we reached an agreement. If it was a boy he would be named Abel and if the baby is a girl, we would name her Cassandra.
After lunch I had a meeting with all of the people with high positions in my city, like the 1,000 men commanders, the economic supervisors, the foreign relations dudes and my newly established spy master, which I created in order to gain more intelligence about the neighboring countries.
We discussed about the beast man army that is slowly but surely heading towards us. They were able to conquer 6 'kingdoms' so far and their numbers are in the 50,000 range. My spy master told me that they are enslaving humans and using them as meat shields in the war as revenge for taking their kind as slaves.
'Sigh... discrimination is still a serious issue even when I'm in a different world'
My spy master estimated that they will reach us in about 2 months at most, which gives us time to prepare in case they choose to invade.
I personally made it so that my city doesn't have slavery but I don't think that they will negotiate peace with us.
So I told the economic supervisors to begin making a lot of money because we are gonna need to supply our troops. I know I have a lot of money, but this gives me a reason to bump up the taxes a little.
'huehuehue more money for me.'
I told army commanders and Hanson to make a harsher training regimen for the soldiers and to increase to increase the size of our army, but not to draft any people. Hanson looked ecstatic about training the soldiers and for the possible upcoming war, which makes me feel bad for the soldiers.
I mean I'm pretty sure that I can convince my people easily to join the war effort with various types of propaganda saying that the enemy is evil and all that bull shit but that will create more discrimination against the beast men who started this war because of the humans, so I didn't want to go down that route.
After the meeting was over Wilson came over to me.
"My lord. Can't you just destroy the enemy army with your power?"-Wilson

"That is quite true Wilson. But that would be quite boring don't you think? Having one man turn the tides of an entire war just because of his godlike powers would be quite unfair to the losing side. Also the younger generation don't know the terrors of war so it would be a good lesson for them to not just think about the glory of coming back victorious in war."-Me
"You are truly wise my lord."-Wilson
"Hahahahaha. I know that Wilson. Tell me something I don't know."-Me
"I'm gay my lord... and I love you."-Wilson
"..."-Me
"..."-Wilson
"...."-Me
"..."-Wilson
I knocked Wilson out with an uppercut straight to the chin and left the room.
'Shit... how come my gaydar didn't notify me of this?'
I was seriously freaked out about Wilson's confession and I went to Ran and had some sexy time to forget about this.
Day 1,810
About one month has passed since the meeting. Ran's stomach has a small bulge now. I'm still very nervous about our baby though. Ran has been shopping a lot for baby clothes and doing the things that new mothers do for their unborn child.
'I hope I can get this war over with before my child is born.'
I've been pretty busy lately. I've been working with the carpenters and war commanders with my army.
I was finally able to create a catapult. I mean this world was pretty much in the stone age in my opinion without the phones and computers and stuff so I was pretty annoyed that I couldn't google how to create a ballista or trebuchet, so it took me a long to figure out how to create a catapult.
With this we can hurl rocks over great distances and decrease the morale of the enemy. I can simply have the mages create big rocks and have the catapults throw them.
I have also had the carpenters create bigger and better bows for my soldiers. Since I had about 1,000 horses I had my men practice shooting arrows on horseback and not falling off.
The progress is slow but we are getting there. I'm pretty sure my men will be able to not die in battle like noobs. I had them go through strategies on how the mongols fought their enemies and it took a while for them to get proficient at it.
My relationship with Wilson was weird after that day and I don't want to talk about it. I still treat him the same way and he does the same to me before he confessed to me. I don't know what I should do.
Day 1,872
2 months pass and we meet the beast man army in battle. They made slower progress than we thought but it gave us the necessary time to prepare.
