Overlord Empress - Chapter 98 COMPLETE CONQUES

Surale, Kishi and Selkie hair stood erect after listening to the ice cold tone of Ichika. They could tell she was not joking at all, after all they themselves will not let off their enemies after gaining the upper hand. The 3 of them communicated with soul sense, to see if they have any more solutions to escape from this situation, but sadly there were none.

So they decided to surrender now rather than being caught later. If they are are caught later, their lives will be completely at the mercy of the Human. But if they surrender now, they could at least negotiate few terms in their favor.

After ordering their subordinate forces to stand ground, the 3 of them moved towards Ichika.

As the 3 of them started to get closer to Ichika’s camp, they can’t help but marvel at the aura radiating from all of the golems and the 3 avatars. It is one thing to sense them using soul sense, but another thing to personally experience them up close.

Even after fighting Dahaka’s forces for a long time, apart from few scratches on their armor, the golems seems perfectly fine. Even though they are sovereign rulers, they were almost forced to their knees after coming close to Gundahar, Manu and E’Lara.

Selkie was the first to start the conversation with Ichika

“Human, we want to surrender. But we have few requests of our own. If you don’t accept them, then we will keep fighting to the last of us”- Selkie

The moment Selkie voiced her thoughts, she was completely drowned by the furious aura radiating from Manu, who seemed to be angered by Selkie.

“First, I have to make something clear, You all are clearly on the losing side. If you still want to take the chances of surviving against me, you can keep continuing the battle. It may take some time and few more casualties on our side, but we will definitely capture or kill all those who resist.

So keep in mind, you 3 have lost your opportunity to request anything from me the moment you decided to fight against me. I will dictate my own terms after you surrender and swear blood oath of loyalty to me”- Ichika

Just because they surrendered doesn’t mean Ichika has to be soft on them. They are sovereign ruler level monsters with high intelligence. There is always a chance of twisting the words in their favor, leaving loopholes to exploit in future. If she agrees to their terms, then there is always a chance of exposing her family to danger. So she want to lay out her own rules. It is ok if they don’t want to surrender, she can spend few more days before rounding up all the monsters on Atala.

Surale, Kishi and Selkie felt like cold water washed over them after listening to Ichika. Now there are only 2 choices between them, one, to completely surrender to her without knowing anything about their future. Second, to keep on fighting against her. But no matter how many plans they come up with, the only outcome is total defeat.

Instead of surrendering now and continuing their fight, their fate will be even more miserable after getting captured in the future. So they have no way but to blindly hope for a better master.

All 3 of them kneeled in front her and slit their arms and foreleg to let the blood flow and swore to be completely loyal to her and follow her every order to the last detail. As soon as they finished swearing, creation laws descended upon them sealing their souls and completely binding their fate to Ichika. Now, Ichika just needs a thought to completely erase their existence if she wished.

Ichika was satisfied after their ceremony. Now apart from La Guita Xica, she has the entire Atala world under her control.

“Your first mission is to subdue your own , Angila and Aqrabuamelu forces. By the end of the day, I don’t want to see a single rebel on this world.”- Ichika

Surale,Kishi and Selkie accepter her order and started to move towards their own forces first. As sovereign rulers they have complete loyalty of their subordinates. Then gather all these forces and head towards Aqrabuamelu and Angila forces.

If it was before the capture of Aqrabuamelu and Angila, they would never dare to make a move on their forces. But with the both of them captured, their forces are like headless chicken. They can easily subdue majority of them. But there will always be few loyal monsters among the enemies, they need to take care of these loyal monsters.

Ichika also opened a huge portal and arrived with her complete forces at the battlefield between La Guita Xica and Ornstein. La Guita Xica body was already riddled with holes with blood pouring out of them. The arrival of Ichika allowed him a breather as Ornstein took few steps back.

He moved to a safer distance from Ornstein and surprised to see the complete forces of Ichika. As he was completely immersed in the fight, he didn’t yet realize Aqrabuamelu and Angila were captured, while Surale, Selkie and Kishi swore their loyalty to her.

He used his soul sense to scout the Atala world to check on the other sovereign ruler monsters. He eyes almost popped out after witnessing what he was seeing. Surale, Selkie and Kishi are leading their own forces to circle Aqrabuamelu and Angila forces and are compelling them to surrender without a fight. Few of them tried to resist, but they were brutally killed by the 3 of them as warning to others.

Only now did he notice that he is the last surviving sovereign ruler monster on this world. He already has enough troubles dealing with Ornstein, now the whole human army is here. He is clearly destined to lose now.

“Your comrades already swore their loyalty to me. You are the only one remaining, so what’s your decision?”- Ichika

Decision? Is there a chance left to him apart from surrendering? He doesn’t to be killed or captured yet. He still want to learn more about spiritual poison herbs. With no options left, he also swore loyalty to Ichika

By the end of the evening Surale,Selkie, Kishi and La Guita Xica took care of all the loyal monsters by completely erasing their presence. It also helped them to vent some of their anger as they lost their freedom.

The next day close to 350 million subdued monsters were lined up neatly in front of Ichika, while close to 50 million monsters lost their lives. Ichika’s own monsters returned to Atlas Kingdom, while the golems stood to the side. The 3 neo dragons also returned to their own territories. Ichika covered all of them with her soul sense, while all the enemy monsters took their blood oaths.

” Let me properly introduce myselves. My name is Ichika Uchiha and these are my ancestors Manu, Gundahar and E’Lara. Since you all swore your loyalty to me, from now on your lives belong to me. Similarly if you perform well, you will be rewarded according to your merits.”- Ichika

After introducing herself and the 3 avatars, she once again turned towards the 4 surrendered rulers and all the monster forces.

“From now on Atala world will belong to me. You 4 will be acting as my generals on this world. You can still keep control over your former subordinates, but let me warn you, they are my soldiers now. If you unnecessarily try to kill any of them, then no one can save you, unless you have a proper reason for it. You better treat them well and train them to be elite soldiers. We will be making move on various sovereign state worlds in the future, at that time I don’t want to see cowards, but an invincible army.

You 4 can also retain your own territories.While the territories of Dahaka, Angila and Aqrabuamelu will be completely under my control. I will choose the representatives for these territories from their former subordinates.”- Ichika

The sovereign ruler monsters were happy that they were able to keep their own  territories. Even though they didn’t lose any part of their territories, they can’t help but feel jealous of Ichika.

The total Atala world was divided into 7 parts among the sovereign ruler monsters. To reduce any future conflicts, they divided these territories equally with everyone able to get 14% of the land. While Aqrabuamelu being the strongest, he got a 16% share of the land.

Now with Aqrabuamelu, Angila and Dahaka captured, Ichika was able to get her hands on their 3 territories, totalling 44% of the entire Atala world.

Even though the entire Atala world belongs to her, it is difficult to feed and train an monster army numbering in millions. By selecting the 4 of them as her generals, she indirectly pushed the responsibility of all the 350 million monsters onto them. Now even though they retained their territories, they have to use the resources from their own territory to feed and train these monster army. There will be even more monsters joining in the future. With Ichika’s warning of not to harm anyone and train an elite army, they need to spend close to 70% of their own resources every year. While Ichika will enjoy more than 44% of the world resources while still maintaining a perfect standing army in the future.

As for choosing representatives for the 3 territories, they will be nothing but stewards to look after her personal property on this world.

After letting her words sink in, Ichika gave them good news for the first time.

“There will be military barracks built in all the territories. I will be providing cultivation manuals and  techniques to help with your growth. Special resources and rewards will also be given to those who perform well in the future battles”- Ichika

Even the sovereign monsters were surprised by this move of Ichika. They are already clear of how powerful these humans are compared to them. Even though they can’t get their hands on top cultivation manuals, but she will at least provide elite manuals as she needs a strong army to fight on other sovereign state worlds.

“Spread the word throughout Atala world, as long as they swear loyalty to me, all the monsters can join the army.”- Ichika

This time the 4 monsters almost collapsed as it will definitely empty their pockets. Issuing an army notice, on a unified world will easily gather close to 10 to 15 times the present army. Most of the monsters will choose to join the army, as they can get their hands on the cultivation manuals.
