A New Empire War And Peace
Chapter 21
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was two weeks later, off by only a day since I met with Carnelia, the Abyssinian Queen, in that time I had learned a few things, for one smugglers and bandits where a real problem in that Empire, since seemingly they smuggled weapons and weapon designs to the Griffon Empire, and seemingly they had killed Carnelia's mother in an air raid on their private royal airship, I simply sent a few troop carriers and gave them orders to use all their weaponry as needed to deal with the bandits.
However in destroying the bandits, we, as in me and Carnelia learned of something truly horrifying, to her at least, the bandits had not simply been just randomly stealing shit, they where being PAYED to by a kingdom of short, anthro wild boar like pigs, every weapon stolen, designs gone missing and never recovered, plans for 'advanced' radar, I say advanced with quotes because it still was not nearly as good as world war two radar, but still a step up from no radar at all, either way this kingdom of wild pigs had become a super power within its own right.
The bad thing about this new and unknown empire or kingdom, was the fact they where like the Nazi's, they wanted to expand their lands at a rapid pace, and did so using brutal military forces, another surprising thing was that this took up a nice sized chunk of Zebrica, or as the locals call it, the New Zebrican Republic, they where kinda like the NCR in some respect, aside from how their leader was chosen, and of course they're technology, it was chosen with a brutal hand to hand combat for leadership with the other tribes, as the NZR was mainly just a bunch of tribes that had chosen to unite under the best warrior they had.
Now that I think about it those wild boars where like the legion with how brutal they where, however their average height was 4 to 5 feet tall, compared to the zebra's average height of 5'7 to 6 feet tall, they where tiny, that helped somewhat since they kept trying to invade, since the zebras had been fighting them for a year unknown to the other kingdoms, simply due to the fact they had never thought to ask for aid, that or simply didn't want to draw unwanted attention to the NZR while it was in a war so as to not be blind sided by another kingdom or empire looking for easy pickins, either way my point was, due to the fighting having gone on for a full year, the zebras have stolen some of the boars stolen tech, and begun to produce it themselves, abit at a lower quality than even the boars stolen and damaged goods.
From the information I was able to gather, the New Zebrican Republic came about after five years of brutal war against the zebrican warlords, leaders of zebra tribes who where as brutal as possible in order to kill the other tribes and steal their riches or resources, or to simply exterminate the other tribes for the hell of it.
Back to the griffons Hightalon Shimmering Feather's forces had been trying to invade my Empire's airspace with light and fast airships, that failed miserably for them as the automated defenses took aim and shot them down before they even for within twenty miles of the Empire's walls, all I had to do in this 'war' was wait, if they kept sending forces they'd just get terminated by the walls automated cannons and other weaponry, like the small missiles that exploded in bursts of plasma, so far they only sent out five groups of twenty armed airships, so I assumed a larger force would try to show up soon enough, only then would I use the new weapon Blue Gadget had developed.
Remember when I mentioned that Blue Gadget was making a larger version of Crystal Prime? Well he finished it, it was 400 feet tall, with hooves the size of a small house, completely made of metal rather than the mix of metal and crystal that Crystal Prime was made from, it was completely metal, lightweight and strong alloy's, and the most advanced combat AI in the entire Empire aside from Pam, it had zetan super computers inside it to calculate everything it did, it could react like any living being would, except it would do so without emotions, without remorse or anything to hold it back aside from commands directly from me or Pam, or Starlight, now you may be wondering what Blue Gadget named that beast of a robot yes? He named it Defender Prime, or just Defender for short.
To give you a small idea of just how LARGE this thing was, Crystal Prime was 40-50 feet tall MAX, the walls around the Empire where 150 feet tall and 20 feet thick, Defender would be able to step over the walls without any effort on it's part, it was so large that it required twenty upgraded fusion vault tec super reactors to power the damned thing, its weapon systems alone would use as much power as the entire wall's weapons combined around the entire Empire, it was possible, otherwise it wouldn't have been built, but it was still a huge power house, it had full sized versions of the zetan death ray for its main weapon, it's massive horn able to shoot beams of deadly energy just like the zetan death ray, and other than it's main weapon, there where to many weapons for me to name them all off, we'd be here for fucking weeks due to how many weapons where jammed into that thing, either way it was an army killer that I don't think anything short of a pissed Celestia would be able to take down, if the griffons showed up with a large enough force, I'd have the auto defenses ignore them and just let Defender deal with them, seeing that huge ass fucker or a robot would be enough of a show of force to the griffons.
After my first encounter with the changelings, I have had no problems with them as of late, their ships stayed away from my battleships, they didn't wander close enough to the walls for the automated defenses to deem them a threat, they could hit them from well over a hundred miles away, they stayed away from the walls and tried to keep out of the air, other than that I had been informed that a summit of the world rulers, not including Queen Carnelia, as she just did not want to go, nor had the time to do so due to the military in her Empire gearing up for a war with the boars, all the while the boars kept trying to destroy the NZR, which would keep the ruler of the zebras busy.
I however was invited, and had been given a list of the rulers, what they looked like, and their names by Celestia, who thankfully was not like the one from my world when it came to sudden meetings, and actually let me prepare for it, not that there was much to do to actually prepare for it, other than remember that the griffon Hightalon would be there as well, and she would most likely demand I surrender or some stupid shit like that.
While other rulers would be there already, I would be teleporting in with the Empire's relay system, I just had Celestia set up a radio antenna inside the meeting room and give me the number on the side of the radio antenna system that all radios had, and to also warn the other's attending this meeting, and with a quick press of a button on my Pipboy, I was gone in a flash of blue light, only to appear in a rather nice meeting room, I will go into detail about the rulers in a bit.
The meeting room was rather fancy looking, a large C shaped table with chairs at which rulers sat at, as I expected my sudden entrance with a flash of non magical light had caused a few to gasp as I took my seat, now to mention who was here in this little summit, as I expected Hightalon Shimmering Feathers was here, and you all know what she looks like, so I don't really have a need to explain in detail what she looks like, but for the rest, there was Pathfinder Evergreen Meadow a lean, 5'9 inch Female Doe of the Caribou Kingdom, as per normal she had brown fur, a whiteish mane and had on a tiara made of silver with green gems in it, next there was Denmother Green Ruby a short 4'5 lean and athletic looking diamond dog with light green fur, teal eyes, and black hair, she had on just a plain red dress, yet it was a short dress, one you'd be able to run and jump n crap in.
Then we had Chieftess Silverhorn a grey tipped silver furred monster of a female Minotaur with green eyes, she was 6'8 feet tall, and from the information I had been told about her, she fought her way to the position of Chieftess of the Minotaur clans and proudly shows her scars for all to see, she had on simple leather clothing with padded cloth under the leather, and then at the middle-front of the large C shaped table, was Princess Celestia, the pony we all know rulers Equestria, and much to my surprise, next to her was Twilight, the Princess of Friendship, who's ass was fucking glowing like a Christmas tree at midnight, rather weird.
Celestia seeing that I was here after 3 minutes of having them wait, finally spoke up, starting the summit. "I am glad to call the summit of rulers once again this year, as every year we will discuss trade, how to keep the peace, and other such things, I am sad to say the ruler of Zebrica is not able to be present for this meeting, since it would have been the first meeting they would have been able to have joined, but sadly they are simply not available, you may go on and ask one another questions as normal."
Twilight glared at me before she spoke up. "Why did you let Starlight Glimmer be general of your army? Let alone let her into your Empire after what she did, and I know that you where told what she did, as I was given a very close look at your Empire's citizenship sign up process I'd also like to know why I was denied entry despite the fact the Tree of Harmony sent me."
"That was due to the fact she showed up at my Empire's doors, hungry, alone, and in need of help, when you sign up for citizenship you take a test to see what you are best at, she is great at being a military strategist and is able to command my armies for me when I am not able to do so, as for why you where denied entry, it was because I ordered it that no visitors be allowed into the Empire while I was gone, and either way I don't care what sent you to my Empire, be it a tree, some weird chaos spirit, or anything of the such, you wanted to get into my Empire when it's borders where on complete lock down, you are lucky the automated defenses where able to identify you where not hostile, otherwise you would have been shot down if you where deemed hostile."
That seemed to shut her up as she paled slightly, before Hightalon Shimmering Feathers glared at me, harder than Twilight did, and she spoke up with a slight hint of anger in her voice. "I want you to stop destroying the forces I send to your Empire, and to surrender to the Griffon Empire for punishment for attacking my Empire's source of life, oil and coal."
I laughed, hard. "That won't be happening, as long as you have hostile intentions my defenses will continue to take down your airships, there is no way to wage war with my Empire, as it is completely self sufficient, it's not even a war, I just have to sit back, relax, and watch as my automated defenses take care of your forces for me, unlike your airships, they will never run out of ammunition, they don't need sleep, rest, food, water, or air to function, they can run for centuries without any input from me, I don't want to wage a war, and I won't ever really HAVE to do so due to how much of a power house my Empire is, like I told you before when I first met you, my only interest is getting my Empire back to its proper world, MY world, away from the chaos of this one."
Hightalon Shimmering Feathers growled, before Celestia spoke up with a glare of her own directed to the griffon. "Hightalon Shimmering Feathers, May I remind you this summit is about Peace, and Trade, not war? If I need to do so then I think it would be best you leave until you can learn how to act as a ruler without trying to bring in conflict that you dragged your own empire into." This shut her up rather nicely.
Chieftess Silverhorn spoke up next. "King Lorenzo, most other kingdoms import minotaur milk due to the shortage of viable milking cows, would your Empire have any need for such a thing? It can be delivered fresh or as powdered milk."
I shook my head. "No, like I said before my Empire is completely self sufficient, anything it needs can be created inside the Empire's walls themselves, so I won't be needing minotaur milk, the cows being milked daily at the Empire's farms do well enough to give every person within my Empire a 12 ounce glass of milk every day, if it wasn't being used for other food products aside from just gallon jugs of milk."
She nodded. "Very well King Lorenzo." She started talking to Celestia, and the rest of the meeting went on rather...quickly, Shimmering feathers stayed quiet this entire time after Celestia talked to her, and a few trade deals where struck with every kingdom, or empire, aside from mine, since I had no real need for what they offered me, grain, wine, fruits, and other things like that, could easily be created with the use of the underground hydroponics section.

also I'd like to apologize for any pictures in the story that simply don't work, but I use a personal discord server, save pictures, upload them there, then copy the link, since fimfiction is fucking stupid with pictures and won't allow me to post them directly from my computer into the story without a celestia damned link, I'd also like to note before my last note, that this was a bitch to crank out, started strong, then I started to fall asleep, the curse of not being able to sleep properly unless I'm black out fuckin tired
one last side note btw, if this gets featured again, even though I don't think thats possible XD Let me know, as normally when I post these chapters I wait 15 mins, check and reply to comments, and go to sleep, so if I do somehow in the weirdness that is this world, get featured again, lemme know as I may not see it
