Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

With 8 meters in height, the artillery golem towered over everyone.

"Isn't this too big?" Mary asked. "What if it needs to enter a small space?"

"It can crawl, bringing its height to 2.44 meters (8 feet)."

"How many shells can it bring?" Bartrem asked.

"I think it can store around 28 shells. Let's test it now."

Aldred created more golem shells, at first he was bored of it, but then he summoned his clones to help him in making the shells.

In a few minutes, he finished 40 shells in total. The artillery golem knelt and then opened its back. Aldred stacked the shells one after another inside the golem, and filled it up.

When the storage compartment was full, Aldred had 10 golem shells left.

"The golem can store 30 shells."

"That's good enough," Bartrem said.

Aldred was satisfied with his creation. Unlike modern tanks which require fuel, repairs, and maintenance, his golems only needed resupply to stay active in the battlefield.

With his unlimited mana, his golems could travel anywhere without the problem of refueling. Not to mention it did not need any human crew, so the problem of morale, food, and comfort was non-existent.

That got him thinking. How could nobody make something like this? It was too good to pass.

He asked Stella about it.

"Golems require tremendous mana to create and sustain. It's better for magicians to use elemental or non-elemental spells to attack their target than using golems. It's too inefficient. That is unless that magician has a huge capacity of mana like you. Or maybe they are wealthy enough to afford mana crystals and treasures to self-sustain the golems."

"That makes sense."

"Now about storing," Stella said. "Where will you keep all these golems?"

"I can keep them in my divine dimension, but I only have 2 KM of space (1,2 miles), so I can store a lot of golems there but not too much."

"2 KM is a lot," Stella said.

"Well, I grow crops and animals in there for our food sources, and they take a lot of land, not to mention I need some space for our treasure pile."

"Can you increase the size of your space?"

"I believe it can increase, but I don't know how yet."

The system did not tell him anything about increasing the space except from leveling up. Aldred believed there were other ways to do it.

"In that case, we need to be careful of what we want to create," Bartrem said. "Since you have limited space, every golem must be effective and suitable for our needs. Artillery golem is a must, but fighters, speed-type, or tanker is not necessary since we have the undead for that."

"What do you suggest?"

"I suggest we focus on the Ranger Division. This will give us long-range advantage while the undead will cover us in close-range combat."

"That's a good idea. What about the Cavalry Division?"

"The undead can act as our cavalry. The Bajaragon is our air-cavalry, and the Snow Wolves are our land cavalry. If we want to use armored-cavalry, we can use Xer Xai. What we need is scouts. The undead are too outstanding. We need something that is small and hard to spot. Or something that doesn't look suspicious," Bartrem said.

"And we need them to be fast," Aldred said.

"Yes. Scout is preferable if they are fast, but it's better if they can be hidden."

"What if we make two types of scouts? One is fast, the other one is hidden. One we make like mosquitoes, and the second one like birds."

"Birds don't look suspicious," Mary said. "Which is a good thing."

"And so do mosquitoes," Mareona said.

"So is that all we need?"

Mary was deep in thought, and after a while she replied: "I agree that we can use Xer Xai for armored cavalry, but there is only one of her. What if we want to fight over long-distances? Imagine soldiers inside armored cavalry rushing through enemy formations while we fought another theater of battle."

"That's a good idea. What do you guys think?"

"I agree," Bartrem said. "But remember, we don't have so much space. So although it's a good idea, we don't need it yet."

"You're right," Mary said. "I did not consider our limited space."

Stella watched the discussion with a smile. She wanted to wait for a moment before giving her suggestion.

After a while, her chance came. "Aldred," she called.

"Yes?"

"You know that you can create golems and store them in storage units in the real dimension right?"

"I do, but what's the point if we cannot bring them with us?"

"What if you put a few dozen of them here, list them as adventurers and let them do missions. When they receive enough resources, you can send an undead to bring the resources into the divine dimension."

Aldred, Bartrem, Mary, Mira, Mareona, Sophia and everyone else looked at each other.

"That's a genius idea!"

Aldred was excited. "Basically, I can make unlimited mercenaries, and all the money they receive will come to us."

Rachel stepped in. "You can also tell them to farm lands or mine valuable stones."

"So I have to buy land?"

"Yes, you can buy land, but you can also get one for free."

"How?"

"For years, Paphia and Yevilerian have been at war against each other. If you can help Paphia, you will naturally get a land for yourself."

"War for land?" Aldred looked at Mira.

Mira sighed. "Try not to hurt the civilians."

She couldn't act naive at this moment. If Aldred can have more resources, he will have a higher chance to rule Ceraisian Empire, after that, she will pay for her sin by releasing all the slaves and ending the war that lasted for generations.

Also, she understood that not everyone here has the same ideology as her. If she forced her wish, everyone would have a hard time, and she did not want that.

In this situation, she needed to have tolerance of other people's ideas. Especially the ideas of her allies.
