Cherreads

Chapter 27 - Inception

Cheering was heard around the former Yharizen pyramid as, at its entrance, lines of people marched with pride in their step as they carried crosses on their backs.

Each cross contained a nailed slaver, the crosses leaving pools of blood as former slaves carried the wooden crosses towards Meereen's gates. The procession of hundreds of slavers lasted hours as each one was strung up in front of Meereen's gates as both a warning and a celebration.

On a platform overlooking the erection of the crosses in the desert surrounding Meereen stood Jurten as he coordinated with the zealots, who had been converted to the belief of Nazareth as their god.

Ever since the fall of the former great house Zhak and the complete submission of former slavers and traders within the city of Meereen, the restructuring had fully taken hold.

The once towering pyramids of the great houses were torn down, barring the residence of their god, Nazareth, in the Yherizan Pyramid.

The slaves, once freed by the collective work of Jurten, Harry, Karl, and Will, made efforts to support their freers. This came with the enlistment of being part of the army that would serve the new city,

or joining the work corps, which entailed the reconstruction of housing, markets, public amenities, and much more.

Overall, the freed slaves felt much more at peace and happy as they joyfully watched the former slave masters being brutally hanged, placed on crosses, or torn apart by beasts.

Jill, the woman who arrived with the new reinforcements of Kreigmen, also worked in the administration of the new city, as Nazareth had imposed that every citizen of his new kingdom should be recorded, from their age, gender, height, weight, and much more.

The task, although arduous, was imposed by Nazareth, meaning the decree came without nearly any forceback as the freed men and women, furiously indoctrinated by Jurten and Karl, saw Nazareth's words as those of a god instead of a new master.

The massive amounts of bricks and other materials within the ruins of the former pyramids of the great slavers were put to use as they were all in the process of being organised, stored, and then redistributed.

Jill was also put at the head of the education of the children of the freed slaves, as Nazareth decreed that all should be educated. So the construction of schools was put into place as the materials of the former pyramids were reused to fuel the masons' works.

Overall, the whole city of Meereen was thrown into chaos and had come out of it stronger as temporary temples and sculptures of Nazareth were built for the masses to pray, whilst masonry workers, iron workers, and a multitude of different working/labour castes of freed slaves were reorganised for the rebuilding of the newly renamed Luminar.

With the reconstruction of order within the city of Luminar, some still loyal to the former houses, named the 'Sons of the Harpy', attempted a coup whilst Will was helping with the movement of materials from the collapsed pyramids to the storehouses, resulting in hundreds of deaths as the infidels burned oils surrounding the working area.

Almost immediately, as a result, Karl, with the help of the new Krieg soldiers, worked with former gladiator slaves, indefinitely loyal to Nazareth, to track and slaughter this new force, causing chaos within the city.

The fight between the two forces erupted in the night as sounds of screams and las-gun and plasma fire drowned out the construction work of the labourers.

Nazareth, meanwhile, throughout the turbulence of the attack from the Sons of the Harpy and being hailed as a god by the freed slaves, remained within the pyramid of the former slaver house Yherizan, as many prompts and expansions upon his system had appeared, keeping his attention on the system whilst updates and upgrades continued appearing.

Nazareth's eyes looked over the newly upgraded system with excitement, as conquering the new city of Luminar had expanded his abilities.

M.I.C.H System -

– System Main –

– Shop –

– Pets / Allies List –

– Holdings –

– Industrial Planner – (Alpha)

– STC Scanner – (Beta)

Advisor Skills -

The new system gave him abilities to rule with a massive increase, as the advisor skills showed who under him was best suited for which aspect of assisting in the ruling of his new city.

The Industrial Planner also allowed for its use, and when Nazareth clicked upon that aspect of the system, a godly view of Luminar came into view (imagine Cities: Skylines 2 UI but medieval). When Nazareth clicked to cancel the planner, he felt immediately sick as the discomfort of being dragged and transported thousands of metres back into his body caused his mental capabilities to strain.

But overall, the Industrial Planner had many features which truly intrigued Nazareth, such as a technology tree which, unfortunately, was still greyed out, whilst from the air, he could plan roads, housing, schools, and even where simple recycling/disposal containers could be placed.

Once Nazareth got used to the feeling of being pulled and pushed back into his body, he began to realise the complexity of what had appeared in front of him.

The buildings being repaired or rebuilt even had timers, with an example being a sculpture of himself riding Cain, stated to be finished within two days.

This ability was truly godly, as it showed how hospitals, for example, could reach a person who was hurt and help them within an acceptable time.

With this ability, Nazareth began to build his city. What fascinated him most was the labourers, as he hadn't sent any word for people to build what he was placing and removing, yet the workers toiled as they followed a command deep within themselves to do this and that.

At the current rate, Nazareth, still in his godly view, reconstructed the city from within his room, with a hospital here and housing there. This task of building his city as he wanted went on for two days and one night before concerns that Nazareth wasn't eating made servants inform Jill and Jurten, who entered their god's room to investigate.

Location - Mechanicus Outpost No.1 -

Archer, within the command centre of the outpost, watched from multiple feeds as a new wave of monsters, beasts, and people charged at the defences.

The vibrations of titan footsteps could only be quieted by the firing of apocalypse missiles from their backs as the explosions caused massive fallout upon the lands already damaged from previous bombardments.

"Senioris Scrum, what is the current position of Titanicus Noyoleais?"

The static of the vox was deafening from the outside explosions as a voice full of grimness and annoyance replied.

"Magos Archer, those insufferable beasts have broken through defence lines 36 and 85, causing me to redistribute the Warhound-mastiffs to secure the open spot."

Archer's red lights for eyes looked into the vox radio to his left as his mind was transported along the communication lines of the Mechanicus base to defence lines 36 and 85, pulling footage of titan Warhounds, plasma blastguns leaving scorch marks within the ground as shadow-like men and women charged at the Omnissiah's will incarnate.

Still watching the footage, alarms started to ring as Archer got a sudden request from a Reaver guarding the south of the base.

"M-Magos Archer, multiple 'dragons' have been spotted."

Immediately, Archer's attention disconnected from the viewport of defence lines 36 and 85 and moved to the southern defence lines, only to see a flurry of missiles and the thumping of the Reaver Gatling blaster roaring towards the sky as beasts larger than the Reaver titan itself dived towards the defence line.

The once grey-coloured sky of the southern part of the base turned black as more and more 'dragons' dived towards the Reaver and the anti-air installations.

A 'dragon' rivalling the size of an Imperator twice over slammed into the Reaver as its piston legs and hydraulic pistons gave one hundred per cent power, and the machine spirit roared.

The titan's roar shook the camera feed as, in its left arm, was a fusion blade which cut into the beast as its head, larger than the top half of the Reaver, came flying downwards onto the Reaver's apocalypse missile compartment before, with the sound of steel against bone and the tearing of metal, the dragon swallowed the missiles and launcher whole.

Archer watched the scene with his metal mouth wide open as he saw the dragon realise its mistake too late, as the Reaver princept drove his titan backwards and the missiles within the dragon detonated.

The dust cloud and mushroom cloud washed over the cameras and the defence line as a crater a hundred metres deep and two hundred wide appeared where the dragon had just been.

The Reaver, now kneeling, had a visible thrum of white lightning effect around the titan as its four void shields roared, with the plasma reactor within giving more power to the shields protecting it from the debris falling from the sky.

Archer, still connected to the southern defence line cameras, watched in awe as the titan staggered to stand before once again firing its Gatling blaster, leaving trails of golden white light in the air as more 'dragons' came crashing down.

The Reaver titan's machine spirit roared as the Gatling blaster spewed more and more shells towards the sky.
