    *Hustle* *Hustle*


    In ahugehall, the beginning and end of which could notbe seen, a handful of people sat around a square table,with each of themhavingspecialcharacteristics.One of them, for example, had asnake''stail instead of feet. One of them had a long, cloven tongue hanging outside his mouth.anotherone had aplete snake head withoutanyhuman traces on its features!


    The only thing they all agreed on was to argue. Almost an hour had passed since their meeting hereandthe roomdidn''tknow quiet for a moment...Thiswas the meeting of the nine marshalsthat happensevery quarter of a century.


    "Iam the one who should receive support! The revolt on R2 urred three years ago and is still ongoing, and becauseof this, we lost3mines for the Phosasterone metal, and production has decreased greatly. We must restore those mines!"One of the marshals objected, hisslit,pletely red eyes were terrifying


    "Go and get them back then, whatdo we have to do with it? You already have3fleets on R2andyou cannot crush some of the rebels after a thousand years have passed. Shall we leave our tasks ande to y with you?"Another Marshall spoke sarcastically


    "The rebels are Dimi-humansthat havethe bloodline of the Ground Searching Mouse who live underground and strike in unexpected ces and times. Howthe hem I supposed to find them without a wide deployment of forces?"That Marshal mmed the table,"Secondly,aren''tyou also asking for support? S3 is supposed to bepletely under our control. What are you going to do with the support?"


    "Idon''tneed more soldiers, whatI so need is a lot of ships! I want more ships to transport moremanpowerto work there and increase the production for his majesty,that''sall."


    "Nonsense, you want to increase yourparty''spolitical strength with these ships!"


    "So what? When you crush the resistance on youyou can also have your damn political strength as much as you like!"


    *Hustle* *Hustle*


    In fact, this was not a fight or even an exception...In all themarshals''meetings, this sceneis repeatedin itsentirety


    A Marshal is the highest military and political rank under the Serpent Emperor. Only generals who have umted enormous contributions to theary Empire, have sufficient strength and intelligence, and have astrongand influentialfamily,can hold this position. Even if all of these factors are present, there are two things that stand in the way of the generals reaching the position.


    The first is that the Marshal is the ruler of a belonging to the Empire, meaning that one of the current Marshals mustdie,or a new mustbe discoveredin order for the opportunity to be avable to fill the position. The second obstacle, of course, is the avability of Durger theDevourer''sblood, as all Marshals obtain just enough blood from Durger the Devourer so that they gain the ability to pass their lineage to their offspring, and ofcourse, this amount of blood is not always avable in the Empire.


    Nine..Thisis the current number of Marshals, andeach one of them rules his own, eve Poison Rockisruledby Marshal Celebus, a close friend of the Serpent Emperor Pythor, who has apanied him since he was just a prince.


    The ninesare dividedinto three ssifications: first, the poison rock, which is called the mother, second, the F ssification, which means that the entire is under the control of the empire, thenthe R ssification, which means that there is a part of that that is still resisting.


    Away from that annoying table, there were stairs leading up to a high tform. Above that tform was nothing but a huge throne, and sitting on it was a person more than four meters tall wearing a silver crown. His terrifying features did not prevent his aura of dignity and calm...It wasary Emperor Pythor.


    "Hehe, this is fun!Thisis annoying!!"Achild''svoice suddenly sounded next toPythor''sshoulder. Within moments, the air around the throne began topress, forming asmallbody thatbeganto float around the throne.


    The body was of a little girl, itlooked as if her hair and dresswere madeof a sticky substance. Her short hair fell over one of her eyes, covering it, and theother eye wasrge and focused, with her raised eyebrow visible above it, and herughing little mouth had only four small fangs. Overall, she looked cute...


    ary Emperor Pythor remained silent for a few more seconds, ignoring the girl, before opening and asking with his eyes still closed,"...Rocky, how many have this storm killed so far?"


    "734 humansandthe number is still rising."The Poison Rock Spirit stopped flying and gave aserious militarysalute


    "Alright, this should be enough. Take the storm to another vige."


    "Oof! You send storms to kill them because they reproduce a lotandtheyreproduce a lot because they want topensate fortheir childrenyou''rekilling using the storms,can''tyou just build them some good houses?"Rocky put her hand on her waist, annoyed.


    Pythorughed in a low voice,"Even before I refined you, you used to send us these storms once or twice a month, what, you became good now?"


    "Hey,I''mnot sending anything. Iwas createdwith atmospheres and beasts that tend to contain poisons that cause corrosion.What''smy fault?"Rocky defended herself,"I may not be able to stop the stormspletely, but whydon''tyou order meto always send those storms towards the desert? That would be eptable.."


    "And lose a good way to control the poption? Th''sresources are scarce.Isn''tthat the basis of wars in the past?Without a way to control the human poption,there will be a famine."Pythor smiled.


    "Yes, yes, and the army will take to the streets again to kill everyone in sight."Rocky turned his eyes to the wall when he remembered that massacre. That was atrulybloody day...


    Pythor ignored her indifferent manner towards him and smiled,"Then do as youare told. It is better for them to dierandomlythan to start a food war."


    "Can''tyou just bring more food from the rest of yours? If half of those ships brought food instead of raw materials,the problem would be solved! Or listen, my southern province next to Skull Lake is not bad. You can even reim this spot using new fertile soil from one of thes, and this will increase food production, Ican totally help you with that!" "Rocky''swideright eye sparkled


    Pythordidn''tanswer her, just gave her a meaningfullook


    "Oof, Alright!!"Rocky disappeared again, and after a while, Pythor heard the storm slowly moving away toward the next city


    Pythor then focused on the only Marshal who had kept his tongue in his mouth since the meeting began,"Snight, how are things going on Gudah?"
