Among the four thousand adult Angels were:
~ 1,500 Two-Winged Angels
~ 3,000 Four-Winged Angels
~ 500 Six-Winged or higher Angels
Strong God Tier Angels:
Twelve-Winged Angels x19
Fourteen-Winged Angels x3
Sixteen-Winged Angel x1
(T/N - I'm sure this format looks far clearer for explaining the newly recruited Angels.)
Haru's expression was full of smiles. This quality was indeed quite excellent.
"There are four High God Tier Angels here. Including the former eighteen, I now have twenty-two High Gods under my command!"
Twenty-two High Gods, plus the 3,600 True God Tier Angels. Such a lineup was quite luxurious. Though still not a match for the ancient Pantheons, this force wasn't weak in the Endless Continent.
Knowing that the Great Aetherium possessed at least one Supreme Goddess, even the Evil Gods wouldn't dare to provoke them easily. Moreover, if they did provoke Haru, they would soon face three Supreme Gods—Celestia, Yvonne and Haru, who would soon ascend to that realm himself.
In the entire Endless Continent, perhaps only Svetlana, the Goddess of Fate, knew his secret.
"Praise you, Lord Almighty!" Led by the Sixteen-Winged Cherubim, thousands of adult Angels gathered before Haru and bowed with great reverence. Every Angel's eyes held worship and fanatical belief.
Haru smiled and nodded, then counted the Special Angels. Among the 4,000 adults were 239 Special Angels—mostly Angels of Love, followed by Guardian Angels, Angels of Paradise, and Angels of Peace.
Unfortunately, no new Angel of Death appeared, who could 'guide' Angels through bloodline evolution to transform into Fallen Angels, but only once per Angel of Death.
"There's no need to rush. I already have over 4,700 Fallen Angels."
He summoned the four High God Tier Angels and named them.
Sixteen-Winged Angel (Peak High God Tier):
Veronica
Fourteen-Winged Angels (Early stage High God Tier):
Tamara
Martha
Zrinka
"Praise you, Lord Almighty! Thank you for giving us our names!"
Haru nodded, "Veronica, take them to Arboriel and join the Imperial Army. Help eliminate the demons and demonized creatures."
"As you command, Lord Almighty!"
Under Veronica's leadership, thousands of adult Angels stepped onto the teleportation arrays, directly teleporting to Arboriel. Through Angels' special sensing ability, Veronica could locate the Angels and quickly merge with the Imperial Army.
As for any dangers, Haru wasn't worried about them. After all, who could threaten the four High God Tier Angels there? As long as they didn't encounter one of the two Supreme God Tier demons, they would remain absolutely unharmed.
…
Next, Haru recruited the other troops as usual:
- 3,000 Nature Elves
- 3,000 Dragons
- 3,000 Golden Beamons
- 5,000 Troops of Light
Total: 14,000.
These top troops didn't go to Arboriel but joined the Imperial Army in clearing the Death Swamp. Before the Demon Slayer Tournament started, the Imperial Army had already begun clearing the Death Swamp. Currently, over 200 million imperial troops have entered the Death Swamp, with over a hundred Demigods and tens of thousands of Saints. With them, capturing Death Swamp wasn't difficult at all. Haru believed that this task would be completed before the tournament ended.
"After occupying the Death Swamp, there would be no hostile forces around my territory. I would only need to cross the wilderness to attack the Light Empire."
Haru wouldn't stop the Great Aetherium's war machine—stopping meant slowing development, disadvantageous for the coming battle of gods. Even without enemies, he'd provoke them. The Radiance Empire in the central area had become his attack target.
…
After thinking, Haru returned to the Imperial Palace and summoned the dwarven forgemaster Thrandor. His task was to build weapons of war—the Dwarven Airships, Super Large Magic Cannons, and so on.
"Praise you, Your Majesty the Great Emperor!" Thrandor bowed respectfully. He looked at Haru on the throne with infinite awe and enthusiasm. When Haru conquered the Dwarf Kingdom less than a month ago, his territory was just an 'Angel Castle'. Now it had become the Aetherium Empire, a behemoth comparable to the local empires in the central region. This development speed was terrifying to the extreme. Thrandor was fortunate that their king chose to surrender. Otherwise, how could the Dwarves in the Dark Forest have such a bright future?
"Thrandor…" Haru asked calmly, "…my empire and the Light Empire are about to go to war. How many airships have you guys built?"
"Your Majesty…" Thrandor said respectfully, "… up to now, the Workshop has expanded hundreds of times, recruiting about four million craftsmen and forgemasters. We've built nearly 5,000 airships and 48,000 super-large magic cannons. These cannons, when assembled together, can easily destroy Havenloch's towering walls!"
(T/N - In case anyone forgot, Havenloch is the border city of the Light Empire which is the first city someone can visit after crossing the Wilderness between the Aetherium Empire and Light Empire.)
"In addition…" Thrandor's voice rose excitedly.
(Cliffhanger no Jutsu!)
