A New Empire War And Peace
Chapter 34
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was about a month after the fall of the Boar King, I had his skull in my trophy room, white as...well, a skull, while I had raided his castle with my troops, I found something that could prove useful, arcane bombs, A-bombs for short, I nearly had a heart attack when I found the plans with only the name A-bomb on the front page, for a minute I had thought these moronic boars somehow got their hands on an atom bomb, or the plans to build one at least, turns out those arcane bombs can be as small or as large as you wanted, if you knew what you where doing, so in truth they actually could be used to make magic nukes.
A few things had happened in that month, for one, as promised I sent food, water, and basic medication to the NZR, for those whom have forgotten, is the New Zebrican Republic. However that was not the only thing to have gone on, my little robobrain project was finished, I now have humanoid robobrain generals that are 7-8 feet tall, with the body shape of a human, all armored as well, they had built in railguns in their hands, which had long claw like grabbers, like the ones from fallout 3 and new vegas. They had other weapons built in but it would take to long to mention them all here, another weapon development was gamma grenades, easy to irradiate an area for a long time due to the gamma weapons my Empire uses, so I had spells created to cleanse radiation away like radaway or rad-x does, another gamma weapon that had been invented, was gamma artillery with a barrel that was 190 mm large, it used fission cores as ammunition and each core was spent after it was fired once, it lobbed radiation seven miles in an arc that due to in game logic, would only affect the area it hit, rather than leave a trail of radiation.
Another weapon had also been developed due to the robobrains, the mesmetron rifle, a non lethal way to deal with a combatant, it was just an AER-9 laser rifle with the mesmetron dish added to the end like the one's the robobrains had, one hit from that weapon could knock out any target, no matter their armor, and Blue Gadget was looking into making a microwave gun, despite me telling him he's most likely just gonna get himself cooked.
I've gotten some questions about things within my Empire, to be specific, do I produce everything my citizens use, and the answer was FUCK NO, I produced the basic things, like toothpaste, soap, canned meats, basic food staples, a few products that where never in fallout, like corned beef, powdered milk, condensed milk, canned deathclaw meat, you get the idea. As for who produced everything else? There where plenty of businesses I supplied with basic goods they needed to function, I shall name them off now, so I stop getting asked those annoying fucking questions. Crystal Burger, a joint like a Mcdonald's but their food wasn't processed cardboard, and actually used real food, I know because I supplied these places, I supplied them with the raw ingredients they needed to make money and sell the food, beef, potatoes, you get the idea, Northern Shakes, a dinner that looked like a dinner from the 50's, or the 60's, their main attraction was their glowing milkshakes.
Griffin Groceries, a store run by a griffon that moved to my Empire before the displacement ended us in a new world, they mainly sell raw meats and some vegetables, the meat processors only use parts of the meat needed for cram, and other products, it leaves a lot left over, which can be packaged and sent to those who want to sell it, rotten meat, produce, etc, gets turned into a slurry mixed with the organs no one wants to eat, and then the blood is added from the latest batches of meat, it's then mixed into the soil as a thick paste that helps the plants in the hydroponic and green house sections grow better.
The Iron Hoof, the place told custom made swords, knives, and axes, they sent orders for metal, and it was sent to them to where they forged pretty nice blades from it. The Dizzy Barrel was a nice little pub that televised robotic battles from the CrystalCo Galactic Battle Arena. The Beef Slate, which was a butcher shop, quite self explanatory. Gadgets Gear, electronics such as fission batteries, fusion cells, power crystals, toasters, tablets, phones, radios, computers, yep that's right folks, Blue Gadget owns a fuckin electronics shop, funny thing is he runs it for the hell of it, since those under my employment are payed rather well. Ottos Auto Riffles and Blasters, a nice little gun shop with a rather large gun range inside.
Another bit of interesting news, was I had some more Nuka Cola flavors created, after making more test batches and getting high demand for the flavors I'm about to mention, the flavors created are, Lime, cherry vanilla, vanilla, Nuka Crystal! A clear version of Nuka Cola that is lemon lime flavor, like sprite, grapefruit, classic bubblegum flavor, popular with the young citizens of the Empire, Nuka Black, a coffee flavored version of Nuka Cola, Nuka dragon, a dragon fruit flavored Nuka cola.
And speaking of cola, the crystal ponies, the anthro ones that is, actually had a soda of their own, Crystal Cola, it was like pepsi, and I hated pepsi, however I allowed it to be sold, under the condition I knew the recipe, and the bottling plant was one of mine, altered for Crystal Cola, as it was sold in generic bottles, rarely anyone bought it but the anthro crystal ponies, so it was no threat to my Nuka Empire, The owner of the brand Crystal Cola, was Crystal Light, a crystal stallion, with green crystal fur, a yellow and red striped mane and tail, purple eyes, his cutie mark is that of a red sun, as for how I knew his cutie mark without looking at his ass? Every crystal pony had their cutie mark in two places, on their shoulder, and on their ass.
Another bit of news, was that I was having a mini Nuka World built in an empty part of the badlands the empire wasn't using, it would be nowhere near the size of the Nuka World in the game, but it would be a pretty large amusement park, water park, and a mall as well, just a few rides, a small mall, and a large water park. The reforesting efforts went well, and the Empire now had a national park that was 500 miles long, with picnic areas, and plenty of trees and plants, and some birds.
I grinned thinking about how the new robobrain generals would help much more in battle than the old models, as I was walking to Slocum Joe's, yep another business from fallout was made a reality, however unlike the one's you'd find in game, the mascot was a mister handy holding a cup of coffee, you can guess what I named em, Slocum Joe, he owned the joint, it was also not just a coffee and doughnut shop, it was still that yes, but it was more like a Denny's, and it was open 24/7, so anyone could enjoy a coffee and meal at any time of the day or night, and at the moment I needed me some black gold.
------------------------------ Dragon lands-----------------------------
The dragons had not been having the best of luck lately, one of the few predators that could actually kill and eat, a fully grown dragon, tatzlewurms, had been attacking more frequently, it had gotten to the point that the dragon population was at an all time low, almost half of what there was less than two years ago, unfortunately for Kristam, the Queen of dragons, no nation had weapons that could kill a tatzlewurm, without wasting so many soldiers lives, so she was unable to ask for aid in terminating these creatures from her kingdom, Kristam had ice-blue scales reminiscent of clear Topaz. Her spines are sharply swept back and partly translucent, with a slight dark-pinkish shine to them, her eyes are slitted with red irises, her claws are a dull golden color, she has two ice-like horns that curl backwards, much like that of a ram, she is smaller than most other dragons, but that doesn't mean that her claws aren't sharper than theirs, her wings, unlike the wings of most other dragons, have iridescent feather-like scales on them.
She did have some hope however, as some dragons had reported seeing a giant metal four legged pony killing tatzlewurms in a forested area that was being dug up, and seemingly it had done so with ease, she had dragons scout the known world to find whom that beast belonged to, and after a few weeks of searching they had found it, an empire within the badlands, protected by the strongest weapons ever conceived, or so she was told.
Kristam had sent a diplomat to the Badlands to try and negotiate for one of those giant ponies, to kill the tatzlewurms attacking her kingdom, her dragons, their eggs, and their hoards, hopefully it would end well, rather than in violence like when she tried to ask the griffons for help a few months back.
---------------------------------------------Lorenzo's Empire-------------------------------
I was enjoying my coffee, and a raspberry jelly filled frosted doughnut, when the proximity alarm went off, I set certain species to trigger the defenses, but said defenses needed my permission to fire, so I looked at the camera feed on my pipboy, and you will bet, I was fucking surprised by what I saw, a motherfuckin dragon, a small one however, rather than the mountain sized behemoths dragons where known to be, I decided I'd actually see what it wanted, rather than just let the defenses shoot it, so I relayed outside the walls to where it was, and I looked up, it was still large, about the size of a deathclaw, maybe bigger, it was yellow, male seemingly by the voice, and what it said next confused me.
He looked down at me. "I am a diplomat sent by Queen Kristam, queen and dragonlord of the dragonlands, to request aid in the form of a giant pony, we are willing to trade anything desired for said pony."
My mind went blank, and all I was able to say, was. "Wat."
