Chapter 342 Preparation For War II
Aside from Hybrids from Project Hybrids, Project Breeding is also underway and is the faster way to produce more monsters.
The reason why breeding give more monsters is because the clones used, in this case various female clones, only require genetic materials from the females and only need Middle-Grade Growth Tube to grow in a single day.
Using High-Grade Growth Tube would took about an hour to create the same clones. With how obsolete the Middle-Grade Equipment starting to become, and how greater number not a goof enough reason to keep them, Alros had destroy the remaining Middle-Grade Equipment and bought High-Grade one.
The change had been considered necessary, especially after the upgrade of the system space level, increasing the space for equipment.
With 300 High-Grade Growth Tube, Alros could create many women for his Demon Goblins, and Demon Orcs, increasing the population of said monsters. With it, his armies of Demon Monsters slowly rising.
As for Demon Kobolds and Demon Lizardman, they have their females, unlike the monsters from the Fiend Race. So, he don't need to provide them with females, as there are chances for females monsters to born to the two races.
As for the offspring of the monsters, whether they are Goblins, Orcs, Kobolds or Lizardmen, they will be taken care of by their respective races.
For the Goblins and Orcs, they shared the same places, as their Lairs connected by the Archdemon himself. So, they will take care of their offspring and juveniles together.
It helped that Fiend Race could live together, albeit with one side being subjugated by the others. Usually Goblins by the stronger members of the Fiend Race.
Though, as Demon Goblins, they are stronger than Orcs, and while weaker than Demon Orcs, they can hold their own against them. Plus, the birth of Demon Goblins and their growth are way faster than Demon Orcs, allowing Demon Goblins to have an advantage in number overtime.
It also means time is his greatest ally. After all, as long as he patiently remained inside the Lunos Forest, he could gather his forces, accumulate LP to get to the limit of the system space for his current strength, before flooding the Astor Kingdom with overwhelming force.
In fact, it is a good idea, and as long as there is no compilation, he would keep on gathering his strength, so he can destroy the Kingdom as quickly as possible to avoid possible retaliation or support from the neighbours, or worse, one of the Tier 5 Nations.
"Let's not get the Holy Church to join in the fight," he shuddered at the thought. The Holy Church, while is a religious organization, it also possess a vast territories ruled by governers and leaders chosen by the church, acting as their proxies.
The Holy Church is one of demon's greatest threat due to their members being able to use Holy Magic, which is as effective in defeating Demons as water quenching fire.
Not to mention, they might just send a hero if the news of an Archdemon was learnt of them. He shivered at the thought. Hero. A being at the S-rank. Such existence is equal to a Demon Lord, an S-rank being as well.
S-rank being can be considered as beings that had surpassed all other beings. At their weakest, they could fight 10 A-rankers and won, easily. At their full strength, they could even annihilate an entire nation if they wanted to.
The thought of facing such beings, Alros fear for his life if that happens.
'I have to hope I can ascend to become a Demon Lord before I have to face such beings,' he thought. For now thought, he pushed the thought aside, as he need to think of ways to destroy Astor Kingdom and not having an S-rank after his ass.
It would be inevitable for retaliation to occur but he could hope to reduce the retaliating force that will come after him.
"If such beings come, I need to prepare for them. If I plan it well, I likely could defeat them," or he hope so.
Then again, he might need to make the fight against the Astor Kingdom to not be a one-sided affair, or the Holy Church and nearby nations decided to use all their assets to destroy him.
"A prolong fight would be ideal, and I should hold from making any moves at the moment aside from some skirmish. After all, I need to build an illusion I take a long time to build an army of my own before sending it against Astor Kingdom," soon, plans weave in his mind as he prepare his forces to destroy the Astor Kingdom.

In the end, he set the framework of his plan. First, the time of the invasion would vary from one year to two years from now. This not only allow him to have larger amount of monsters, but also lead to the enemies to believe his forces grow so strong because he took a long time to prepare for it.
Second, he will ensure the war will last for about a year when it started, at the very least. If not it will last for 3 years at most. It seem like a long time, especially taking into account his age barely reaching a year.
However, he need to showcase his strengths to be weaker than his true strength or they ,ight send 2 S-rankers. He could barely survive one. He will perish if there is two of them.
That also mean he could not use any monsters he get from the Forest of Bugs, as it would create some unneeded questions. Aside from that, he also need to use regular monsters into his army.
Thankfully, there will be monsters created in Lunos Forest in the period of a year. Heck, he already knew the first Goblins after he subdued the entire Lunos Forest already appear.
He will not do anything to them as off yet. When their population jump, only then will he make a move and forced them to join his force.
And with the large number of High-Grade Growth Tube in his possession, giving them women to breed is no problem at all, allowing them to reach numbers reaching thousands, no tens of thousands in matter of months, at the very least.
Of course, he will deploy some Demon Monsters, but they will be a rarity, so the humans will suspect creating such powerful monsters will take him a long time and many resources, which hold some truth, just that the resources not being as many as one would expect.
The thought of using weak regular monsters before suddenly flooding them with his Demon Monsters filled him with excitement, as he thought of doing so, especially to the Holy Church Territory one day.
One day he will do so.
