“Yes, do it now,” Ryuk ordered them, which seemed confusing at first, but they all formed a line, standing and moving behind one another, an amusing sight for onlookers.
For the first time, these individuals were following such an order. Due to their heightened senses, they could clearly hear Savants and other people laughing at them.
‘It is for our Leader,’ motivated one of them with those words to tolerate this mockery of those Savants, who were races brought here for construction of battleships yet making fun of their masters.
‘Just kill me,’ Regina, seeing her comrades averting their gazes here and there, felt embarrassed, which just increased her guilt for making them go through this situation.
They were naturally the military power of Devereaux family, but each one of them was enough to hold Commander positions in other Middle Level Continents. Standing like this was just too much for them.
But their dedication towards Regina, who had guilt towards them, caused a very beautiful portrayal to form on the wide land stretching through to hundreds of miles, especially prepared for the departure of Battleships, proof from the circuits embedded on the ground providing last moment energy to the cores.
Every battleship gets recharged through Crystal Energy to fulfill their energy capacity but also contained Energy Core to provide a small but steady amount to keep it flying.
More like a vast pond from which water is continuously drawn while being replenished by tap water. Depending on how quickly the water is drawn, some amount will be refilled using the tap water as well.
However, that small tap will never completely fill the entire pond in a short amount of time, which holds true for Reactors too. They generate enough Ether to maintain the balance between reservoirs while the ship is flying, but if a single cannon is fired, then that balance will crumble.
‘System, purchase clothes for them; you can choose designs on your own,’ Ryuk commanded, noticing the awkwardness in the air. He too was not exempt from the situation, but it was necessary.
They all wore black robes, a very common army dress code of the Devereaux family, but he wanted to make them different or at least easily identifiable while utilizing it as an opportunity.
‘Also, infuse Grimoire in them,’ he commanded, utilizing this whole facade of matching cloth team as an illusion for him to slide the Enslavement Grimoire into them.
With time, it will naturally enter their bodies, enslaving them gradually without humiliating them.
Ryuk would ensure their loyalty without causing them humiliation.
Of course, for now, it felt awkward, almost as if he was creating some sort of cult.
Unbeknownst to him, the foundation for the future was laid with this initiative, which seemed amusing to him. It would set off a chain reaction that would soon lead to the formation of the world’s strongest legion.
DING!

‘Stop sounding like some scammer,’ Even though System added additional things on its own, they were useful enough to have an excuse on him to give these people, but Ryuk still inquired, ‘Did you copy that self-reapir ability from my clothes?’
[Host, naturally, I was free all day, so, for fulfilling my curiosity, I tried to understand the way this cloth works, but I could only copy it to some extent, not completely.]
‘But, can you not find anything like this in store?’ Ryuk was not doubting System since he had allowed it to do so naturally due to the ability of his suit to let it conduct his ability, he could easily prevent System from doing anything to this cloth.
[Host, there were different clothes with the ability of self-repair or conduction, but both can’t be brought together in one and their cost is also hefty.]
‘….’ Ryuk turned towards the first individual wearing a black robe falling in his sight, naturally, he can’t give them clothes and tell to go and change it, leading him to inquire, ‘Can you replace their clothes too?’
[….]
SWWHSH
“T-this?” Instantly all of their robes started to get replaced by a thick leather suit, pants, and jackets, with a long trench coat enhancing the overall impact created by hoodies hiding their faces.

thud thud
“WE PROMISE TO SERVE OUR LIEGE TILL THE END”
Instantly, the whole place was filled with a single sound resonating from all corners, drawing the attention of many individuals. Among them, one seemed to sprint directly towards them.
BOING
“You, Human, how did you do it? And what’s with the quality of these things? Why don’t they seem to have any runes or magical circles yet possess repair properties?” Tictric leaped over the head of one of the members of the group, using a magnifying glass to inspect the fabric, which was undoubtedly unique, aiding his swift conclusions due to his curiosity.
‘..Smart as always.’ Looking at the small creature standing on the head of a knelt figure, who remained firm, Ryuk knelt to come to eye level with the Savant, proposing, “So, Tictric, how about this: I’ll give you one of my thesis books, and you can prepare a live model of it?”
“Huh? Human, aren’t you thinking highly of yourself just because of these different things you prepare?” Tictric, while intermittently examining the coat’s fabric, reminded the young man of reality, as savants were experts in battleship engineering. “You are lucky that it isn’t related to battleship—”
SHHHSS
“How about this, then?” A thick, red, spiraled book materialized in Ryuk’s hand, approximately 2 inches thick, 10 inches long, and 6 inches broad. It seemed heavy enough to serve as a shield in front of the small creature, standing at 2 feet tall, or 60 inches.
BOING
“Ugh… Give me that.” Tictric jumped down from the hooded man’s shoulder and opened the book, while Ryuk observed the little savant’s changing expressions from his seated position.
“Hmm…”
“Let’s see…”
“Hmm, interesting…”
“Oh?”
‘!?’
“This… isn’t it a modified Core Reactor!” Tictric’s eyes widened upon seeing the blueprint of an Ether core, similar to those present inside battleships but capable of generating significantly more energy than the ones mentioned.
SWISH SWISH
As if Tictric’s voice created a ripple, several Savants left their work and bombarded themselves onto him, lining up one above the other, forming a tiny ant castle.
They looked at the book with the same expression: curious, then shocked.
Leaving these Savants with a final command, Ryuk stood up. “I want you all to create these battleships. At the last page of the book, the software for the mainframe is placed in an Etherium Crystal. Use it in the advanced version of the new generation ships.”
“D-DO YOU REALLY GIVING THIS TO US?” All the Savants spoke together, while Tictric was not left alone, his eyes glimmering with anticipation as he looked at the huge mountain-like figure in front of them, appearing like a god, blessing them with infinite knowledge.
“Yes, but I want you to create as many battleships as possible in exchange for all my life’s hard work,” Ryuk stated with a soft smile, appearing genuinely sincere at his core.
[Host, But wasn’t it me who analyzed the battleship and prepared the whole new generation ship with softwar…]
‘Mute until I tell you to speak,’ Ryuk turned to leave. It was already enough time for him here; he needed to leave this place, which gave him many things and an aim too.
“Regina, prepare the fleet. We are going to our first destination.”
