Chapter 1067: Path to Victory

Erik and June arrived at the outpost two days later. As they entered the area, they were greeted by the sight of many young Chimaeric Demons, no older than children, frolicking and playing around.

They were going to grow fast, but for some time, they would be in that miniature state. Emily, Mira, and Amber were amid the playful chaos, engaging with the curious and energetic clones.

<I hope they are not wondering if I was like this when I was a kid...> He sighed. The Chimaeric Demons looked like him, after all...

The three women, upon noticing Erik and June's arrival, stood up and rushed towards the pair. They had been out for many days, and while June got back to tell them the situation, they still hadn't seen them for a while, especially Erik, who, instead, had to stay back wherever they were. The three women were worried, and as soon as they got close enough, they started pestering the duo with questions.

"What took you so long?" Emily asked.

"Are you alright?" Mira checked for injury.

"What happened out there? We've been worried sick!"

Erik held up his hands. "We're fine; don't worry. But we need to talk. There's a lot I need to tell you."

He turned to the Chimaeric Demons and called out, "Gather round, everyone." The small Chimaeric Demons looked at their older brother and started walking towards him. "Not you! Just the mature ones!"

The young Chimaeric Demons looked sadly at their older brother's words. Some pouted, and others sighed. But they didn't stay upset for long. Soon, their playful nature took over.

"Last one to the big rock is a rotten egg!" They quickly forgot about being left out as they enjoyed their new game.

Erik smiled as he watched them. He admired how quickly they bounced back and how much energy they had.

The group made their way to one of the buildings Erik had made in the past week. It wasn't the biggest one, but it was enough to accommodate everyone inside. It was a makeshift meeting room of sorts.

Once everyone was settled, questions poured in again.

"What happened?"

"Did you get to the fortress?"

"Is the situation bad?"

"Calm down. I need to explain things in detail, so this discussion will take a while."

...

Erik explained everything. How the blackguards knew about them, how they were sending people here, and how they needed to prepare for a huge fight.

As he finished his recounting, his clones' and lovers' minds were only full of more questions. "So, what do you want to do now?"

"We need to go to Sleb Harbour as soon as we can, but June has insisted that we send a team ahead to establish a foothold within the city first."

"It's a good idea. For starters, you will make the Chimaeric Demons work instead of doing everything yourself like usual. What's the point of having clones if, in the end, you are always the one who puts himself at risk?" Mira liked the idea very much.

"Yeah," Erik said. "Regardless, while the Chimaeric Demons do their job, we'll stay here and focus on making more of them. There are many things we need to do, and this means we need to strengthen our numbers. Aside from that, we will also need to focus on making neural links. This time, I will only make those related to the Chimaeric Demon brain crystal power, hoping to further reduce the hatching time, and the mana needed to make them."

"Great idea, master." A Chimaeric Demon said. "But your face tells me we will do more."

"Yes. There has been a problem. Etrium found a way to detect shapeshifters easily, and this... Well, you know what it means. I wanted to give the next batches of Chimaeric Demons the Phantom Veil brain crystal power, but June didn't agree."

"Our esteemed elder brother is right, master. If shapeshifting doesn't work anymore, you need to keep something that allows you to escape if needed," another Chimaeric Demon said. "I didn't actually use it to flee, but... I get it. Anyway, this means I need your help with a few things. First, we need to start mass-producing brain and body-stimulating serums. Everyone needs to grow stronger, and these serums will be essential, especially given we are going to Mur next. We'll need to find or create the tools to craft them, and then all the Chimaeric Demons will need to help to make them."

"Yes, master."

Erik paused. "Second, I need you to hunt as many thaids as possible and find the most useful brain crystals you can. We need to arm the clones with them to give them an edge in battle, but I want you to focus on all the powers that might end up giving them invisibility once merged or not; otherwise, I will be forced to give them the Phantom Veil brain crystal power." At those words, it became clear what the Chimaeric Demons' top priority request was. However, this could be problematic because it would make the clones stay out of the outpost. "But the other Chimaeric Demons won't mature for another two months. We won't be able to hunt before then. We are too few."

Erik nodded. "I know, and that's why I'm asking you specifically to take on this task. I'll handle taking care of the younger Chimaeric Demons."

The clones looked around, still uncertain. "Are you sure, master? They are very demanding..."

Erik's expression was resolute. "I know. Trust me, I took care of many of you when I was

alone."

It was clear, though, that Erik wasn't done talking. The atmosphere grew tense.

"Now, after this, I want to send as many Chimaeric Demons as possible to infiltrate not just Hin, but all the other countries as well. This clearly means you need to find the brain crystal

powers first."

Everyone in the room nodded.

"We'll start with Hin. Sending a batch of Chimaeric Demons to the rest of the island will be our priority. As soon as they're ready, I want them to conquer all the bases surrounding Sleb Harbour and take the place of the soldiers there. This will allow us to establish a firmer hold on Maynard Island, where the blackguards have their main base."

"Are you thinking about conquering Sleb Harbour first?" Amber asked.

"Yes. We will replace their leaders and pull out their troops from Frant, but that is only when the other clones will be ready in the other countries."
