Epic of Caterpillar

154 Spoiled Daughter

[Day 142]

Now that the war preparations on Athetosea are increasing their speed, I began to prepare my troops for it. In these last few days, we have quickly recovered some of our troops, but it's not near as enough for a full-on war.

Due to this, we will only apply as a big mercenary group of around two hundred people, having me and my wives as the leaders. Because of the danger of such a war involving different Champions, Elemental Knights, and a Hero, only the strongest ones will be the leaders.

My children will remain at home, and so will most of my wives, due to Rimuru and Brontes being close to giving birth, they should remain on a safe place, for now, I don't want them to risk their lives on that war. After all, we are not even fighting the whole army, as we are only participating as a "small" support army.

The strong servants that will participate are as follows;

Truhan and Celica alongside their own troops, they will strike with amazing speed and defense. This group includes Evan, the Amazon Woman, and the Black-Haired Swordsman alongside the evolved monkeys.

Kaguya, Ganjo and Jorogumo, with their combined troops, these also include Erathe. All of them are highly offensive warriors.

The Undead Team alongside a special troop of Highly evolved Skeleton Soldiers, the best of the best ones is here.

The Slime Team alongside a small mixed troop of mages and warriors, these troops will be quite versatile, from support to offense.

The Blood Team alongside their own troops, they will be mostly front liners, slaying everything on their sight.

Zehe, Nesiphae, Gaby, Mady, Adelle, Charlotte, Lilith, and I will lead our troops and "support" our side. My servants will slay the opposing side while I sneak around and eliminate the Elemental Knights, Champions, and Hero that come my way.

There will also be a separate team of flying units and another two hundred of my soldiers hiding on the outskirts of the Athetosea Kingdom. These troops will include more several humans, merfolk, Valkyries, Flame Salamanders, Wyverns, and so on. They will be led by the Wyvern Overlord, the Harpy Girl and her father, Wagyu, and Kekensha alongside Meiji and his spirits.

This is a special troop that I will call whenever there are problems, for example, if they find out who we are and end up ganging over us instead. The Harpy Girl will also be invited to slay the Hero of Raging Winds whenever I find him, being previously weakened by me of course. I feel like she may get something important if she is the one who kills him.

Evan will also be given a chance to fight his stepbrother, the Elemental Knight of Holy. He may also receive some kind of extra reward on his own [Epic]. I am confident enough about his abilities by now, he has grown strong and reliable. Well, I will also support him in the shadows…

Although Evan seems to still have the righteous side on him, so I don't think he will kill him in normal circumstances, but that depends if his brother doesn't want to kill him either… Which I doubt, I have the feeling that killing Evan is the requirement needed for the Elemental Knight of Holy [Epic]. He probably won't miss the opportunity if he comes across Evan on the battlefield.

I will mask Evan and the humans with special Illusion Fabric Clothes and Masks. I've also been developing more equipment using Illusion Fabric with my Crafting Lesser Flesh and Slime Minions.

Now that they have all the prototypes ready, I just began to absorb them and duplicate them using my [Equipment Materialization]. It took a long time as I needed to make around three hundred. It also asked for thousands of Summoning Materials and Magic Cores.

Equipment made with Illusion Fabric comes with my blessing even if mass-produced. It also has a small pink and purple luster. Only Illusion Fabric doesn't make them entirely, as they need other types of ores and magical gems to complement. The most used one will be a chest plate that any humanoid type of soldiers will be able to easily wield.

Although the mass-produced Illusion Fabric Equipment is weaker than one made by hand, it will be good enough to hide most of their presence, giving an extreme advantage against normal soldiers. Probably Commanders, Elemental Knights, and Champions will be able to discern them, but the rest not so much.

There is also the ability to make weapons now, as I can produce Golden Thread and Sapphire Thread alongside my Magic Thread, combining all of them can generate incredibly dense minerals and equipment. I have already made a lot of Illusion Poisonous knives, which comes with a lot of useful debuffs alongside status ailments like [Paralysis], [Confusion], [Poison], etc. The poison that I can produce is incredibly lethal, and I can easily make my healing blood into the most terrible of poisons whenever I want, so I used my "Poison Blood" to coat all these knives as I gave them to the small troops that cannot slay soldiers by themselves, like the unevolved Goblins and Monkeys.

I've also designed new equipment that uses a lot of Summoning Materials without using any valuable gemstones or minerals, although their power is not as good as these, they're still quite fine. I've made several types of equipment using the thousands and thousands of Undead Skeleton Bones, as they are filled with strong magic and are as sturdy as rocks.

Predicting that the war would break out in the following five to seven days, I need to quickly have everything done before that. It will take me around three days.

When I finished mass-producing Illusion Fabric Equipment, I had lunch with my family and then immediately began to produce more Summoning Clones for the steady production of equipment. Due to our fast increase in population, even these produced items are becoming scarce, surprisingly. Now that Yuki-onna's are gaining conscience after giving birth, and pairing up that they have two to five children each, and also that they grow so fast, food is very necessary.

After spending the rest of the day, I finally finished producing four Summoning Clones, and I made them specifically to produce even more food, which includes all types of Familiars. With them, I hope these younglings can ease their hunger. Thankfully the Aquaria Kingdom is self-sufficient for the most part. Well, they still enjoy my Familiar meat, so they buy it regularly.

I never thought I would need summoning so much as it is now if it wasn't for these skills, most of my growing population would have already starved to death… And let's not even talk about equipment production if it wasn't for the Dungeon help. The Dungeon also produces food, but if the monsters are not taken out before a certain amount of time, they will disappear and come nourishment for the Dungeon, much like conventional dungeons like the Forsaken Labyrinth and the Evergreen Town Dungeon.

Today I saw Charlotte and Brontes the most, as I spent almost the entire day in the Castle Workshop, which was recently expanded due to the sheer increase on Royal Crafters and Alchemists.

Brontes has been helping with the creation of Illusion Fabric Equipment quite a lot, her talent is outstanding. Aside from this, she has also crafted new equipment and weapons for all of us, she recently gifted me a beautiful dark ring, while kneeling as if she were asking me to marry her like Humans in Earth usually do… I was quite flustered.

Charlotte has been steadily increasing her Alchemist proficiency and is showing amazing talent, she has recently evolved her [Alchemist] class into a [Great Alchemist], gaining more proficiency and skillfulness. Her Synthesis and recipes are of big help on the production of essential materials for the soldier's equipment.

Alongside this, she has been mass-producing [Lesser Four Colored Elixir], which is a weaker [Rainbow Elixir] that can heal HP, MP, and Stamina. They are highly required for our entire troops, so I am helping her on the production with my Lesser Flesh and Slime minions dedicated to Alchemy.

Today was a tiring day with a lot of work everywhere… I quickly went to sleep while being surrounded by Valentia, Amiphossia, and Aarae.

[Day 143]

Today's work was as arduous, I woke up very early in the morning and quickly started to create more Summoning Clones. I decided to make them stronger this time. Each day I decided to upgrade over the last one, always making them better and more refined.

I used strong Soul Cores that I created Synthetizing over one thousand of them. Alongside this, I incrusted a lot of Slime Cores that were also made by the Soul Core method. Afterward, I decided to also add Golem Cores for better information storage capabilities.

After six hours, I managed to create five new Summoning Clones, I wish I could name them, but I don't really have time for that, so they will remain nameless from now on, while the named ones will lead and instruct the newbies.

These five clones will also summon more Familiars, I also added other things like Wendigos and even some types of Chimeras, to try them out if their food ends up being more nutritious if they are made with multiple monsters or Familiars. My Chimeras used to have no flavor at all, but when combined with Familiars, they quickly gain an outstanding flavor.

Hmm… I can finally summon Walking Mushroom Chimeras that have that delicious mushroom flavor! They are so good when boiled and made into a soup with tons of meat and veggies…

Afterward, I had a nice lunch with my family with this new Chimera meat. There were tons of Walking Mushroom Chimera meat, which was almost exactly like a mushroom. I accompanied it with the delicious minty beer from Evergreen town.

Rimuru and Brontes have been eating a lot recently, so they are enjoying the feast the most. Rimuru expanded her body as tentacles made of water while grabbing any piece of meat and bread, while at the same time drinking whole bowls of soup in one sip.

"Bwaah! Masta, this Chimera meat is very delicious, guu! Our baby likes it a lot, hehehe…!"

"Huh? Can you sense it?"

Rimuru nodded with a cheerful smile, as she caressed her belly.

"Hmm! It always eats what I do, it will grow strong, guu"

I quickly glanced at her belly while using [Mystic Eyes], and saw the "different" slime liquid inside of Rimuru quickly expanding, unlike the usual light blue color of Rimuru's body, this slime was resplendent with all the colors on the rainbow, the Slime Core has also increased its size and was that of the size of an apple and resembled a shiny pearl of multiple colors as if it were made using every gemstone in existence.

As Rimuru kept eating without a care for the rest of the world, I glanced at Brontes, who was devouring a big Thunderstorm Phoenix leg, by herself, munching on the juicy grilled meat, her lips were quickly covered on grease, giving her a funny look.

As she noticed my glare, she quickly cleaned her face as she looked at the floor with an embarrassed expression. Aah… I can't get enough of her shy reactions sometimes.

"Brontes, you don't need to stop eating, it is fine to get a tad bit dirty while eating, you can eat as you want"

At this Brontes's pupil expanded quite a lot as she was surprised by my comment. At this, she began to eat once again wildly.

"Sorry, Big sister… It just that the child is asking for a lot of energy, I cannot stop eating…"

"Oh? I see! I appreciate your efforts, Brontes. A strong child always needs tons of food to grow"

At this, Brontes only nodded as she quickly finished the entire grilled Phoenix leg, and quickly grabbed a second one while drinking the Mushroom and Veggies soup in one single sip.

"Bweeh… The food is very delicious too, I can't stop eating…"

Amiphossia who happened to be at Brontes side also grabbed the last grilled piece of Phoenix leg but was stopped by Valentia who also wanted it!

"Hm? V-Valentia… I grabbed it first" Said Amiphossia, on an authoritative tone.

"And so? I want to eat it too, Big sis! Give it to me!" Said Valentia on a happy yet intimidating tone.

At this, Gaby reprimanded Valentia for her rude tone towards her big sister.

"Valentia! Be more respectful with your big sister, she grabbed it first. Be a good girl"

After hearing her mother, Valentia slowly let go of the Phoenix leg as she looked at the ground with an angry expression.

"Tsk… It's not like I wanted it anyway…"

Not wanting my beautiful Valentia to be angry over such a thing, I quickly called the Arachne maids as they brought ten more Phoenix Legs for everyone. Valentia ended up being very happy as she thanked me

"Thanks, mommy, I love you!"

Aah… It feels good to spoil my children… I think this is actually bad, but I just can't stop, they are just too precious…

Ugh, I guess I need to leave that work for their respective mothers…

I am already seen as the spoiling mother while their respective mother is the one who teaches them to be respectful and such… Valentia's dominating nature is hard to handle, but she seems to obey Gaby anyways, so that's good. I just wanted to cheer her up so it's not bad, right?

After having a fulfilling lunch were everyone ate to their heart's content, we quickly moved to our daily routines. The children were either training or developing their subclass fields, the same were for my wives.

As usual, I spent the rest of the day creating Illusion Fabric Equipment, weapons, and accessories. I also helped Brontes out on the creation of new and enhanced equipment for my children, I never thought she was crafting something for them, I suppose she loves them as much as me or her own child.

Afterward, I helped Charlotte in the creation of Potions and a new prototype that could heal huge quantities of Stamina and even increase stats temporarily, we named it [Stamina and Body Enhancing Potion Prototype], we also created a special potion that was able to increase the max HP of anyone for some hours, it only increased it by +50, but even that small amount could save a soldiers life.

After having another nice dinner with my family, I decided to spend the rest of the night crafting equipment and items. With my recent skills and power, I am more than able to spend whole nights awake, I think I can do this for three consecutive days in a row.
