SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Silva threw open the opportunity for input, and hands were raised to speak. He chose Quin to speak first.

"I was thinking, the concepts you want to initiate—most kingdoms must have had such ideas in the past, yet they were unable to carry them out," Quin said.

"Before I answer your question, where is Linsword now? I haven't seen her since the whole war stuff happened," Silva said.

"Oh, she is in Ribest. She managed to get her family and even her noble father to stay and believe in you. I was initially panicked that she would leave after discovering the truth, but everything worked out well," Quin replied.

"Phew, that's good," Silva said in relief. If she had left with her family, then she would have died during the purge. Silva was not there to watch, so he would have never known if she was killed that night.

It seemed her love for Quin was real enough for her to abandon her own kingdom.

"Alright, now to the point you brought up. I'll talk about how it won't be an issue for us. Currently, we can't buy anything anywhere because we are enemies to all the kingdoms now.

So, import and export are completely frozen. We will have to be self-sufficient, but that is not an issue. In the dark dragon library, there is an almost limitless number of resources, gathered over a thousand years. Discover more at m'vl em|p yr

These resources span from crystals to ores, to coins, and to very valuable information. It's so large that even if we throw away the plan I spoke of before to keep money flowing, we would still have resources.

But that is beside the point. The point is that we have enough resources to pull it off. Secondly, the brains. We have Lily, basically the smartest mind in our kingdom. And then there is Drake—as a vampire, he personally engineered all the gear that allows him to move under the sun.

And they are very effective, allowing him to move without hindrance and do things at full power. That is indeed genius. There are still more like Aris—she may not show it, but she is very smart.

With such minds working together and with my guidance, we will be able to pull it off," Silva concluded, confident he had answered all the questions on the matter.

The next issue that arose was security and defense. As of now, they had no real army, and they had to build one.

"Alright, the next issue is on the matter of security. Everyone in this room has evolved or is near evolution. We may all be strong, but we will not always be able to fight all the enemies that come for the kingdom.

We will be turning two of the major cities into military academy cities. They will bolster a setup to train the elites that will fight for the kingdom—well-trained and well-equipped. I plan for us to give them the highest possible training and facilities.

We may not be great in numbers, but I want us to have the highest quality of soldiers that this world has ever seen. We will be investing a huge chunk of resources into the army and ensuring we produce the best.

The two military cities will be close to each other because I want them to have a competitive atmosphere against themselves. The only reason I want only two academies is that we don't have the numbers for more. Simple.

Moving on from the military aspect, we have a lot more to discuss."

"Silva, an enemy force of two thousand just entered the city borders—mostly a ground force, but there are some beast riders," Lily suddenly spoke up.

"Have they entered, or is this your ability to see the future?" Silva asked.

"I didn't use my abilities; I was just sensing from the beacons I set up," she replied.

"I see. Then can you tell which kingdom's crest they have on their armors? It has to be a bigger kingdom if they can easily throw a force of two thousand towards us on the first attack," Silva said.

"Taking all that into consideration, the only kingdom in that direction capable of such would be Aragon. They are known for taking impulsive action. If they got word of the kingdom takeover, they would be the ones to attack first," Lily said.

Silva had known that even with the purge and all actions taken, word would still go out, but he never expected it to be this fast. It seemed someone was able to slip under the radar. Silva might have eyes and ears everywhere in the kingdom,

but that didn't mean he was incapable of slip-ups. After all, he was only human. Even Amber was able to place a tracker on him, and he still couldn't find it. He made a mental note to ransack his body later and find that tracker.

"Alright, Aragon wants to take advantage of the instability after the switch in power, but that is fine. I personally want to make them suffer as our first victims.

The humans aren't ready to fight, and the same goes for the slaves we freed. So that leaves us with the labyrinth army.

What I want to do is bait them. I want to capture as many of the soldiers as possible. So, Quin, Mike, Dawn, Gallan, you four will be leading an army of five hundred. This army is not meant to win, but you are also not allowed to lose soldiers.

But in order to bait the enemy, we have to make it look like they are winning. So, one hundred soldiers from this army will not be real. They will be clones made by me and will be transformed to fit in. Those hundred will take the front line.

I can hold the clones up for an hour or so with my current mana—that's a rough estimate. So, what the clones have to do is die at the beginning of the fight. When they die, you, the leaders, get scared and call for a retreat. Phase one complete."
