In the Coastal City;

"So, this is where we will be working. It seems to be newly made, just for us? It doesn’t even have a proper roof."

Sher King stood in front of a large warehouse and asked.

"Yeah! We have been hiring more people, but due to the start of a war, many people are hesitating to work here."

Elena was showing the warehouse to Sher Family and Tyler.

She was wearing a short skirt, black stockings, a white shirt, and a grey coat, looking like a sexy secretary.

"Damn fishmen! How can they start a war out of nowhere?"

Sher Ming cursed the fishman race when he heard about the war. In fact, he didn’t know anything about this war.

Although there had been ongoing rumors for four months, there was no sign of the war.

It suddenly started just two days ago. Now, Red Hog Country hadn’t even sent its forces to block the Fishman Army.

That’s also why nobody wanted to join the Coastal City. Nobody wanted to die here.

After all, the Coastal City was the closest city to the ocean, making it a perfect target for the Fishman Army’s base of operation.

Hearing Ming’s curse, Tyler and Elena looked into each other’s eyes. They knew this war wasn’t started by the fishmen.

But they couldn’t just say this to others.

"With Alfred in the city, I don’t need to worry about the city’s safety. But the war isn’t one person’s battle."

"I need you to start working on this."

He took out the manufacturing design of the bombs and showed them to Sher Family.

"Are you trying to make bombs? But, aren’t missiles more useful than them?"

Sher Khan, being the youngest, was also the most impatient. The moment he read a few of the design points, he quickly pointed out the problem he saw.

"Khan, continue reading!"

Sher Ming patted his son on the shoulder and pointed at the next part of the design.

On the other hand, Sher King was carefully reading every part of the design. The more he read this, the more surprised he became.

"This is a brilliant idea. If we can create an array that can automatically create the parts required to form a bomb, we can actually make a profit out of them while also selling them at low cost."

"But creating these systems will not be easy. First of all, these two arrays, one collects mana and stores it while another produces mini arrays."

"Both of them seemed difficult. Are you sure you can produce them?"

Sher King turned towards Tyler and asked.

Tyler looked at Elena and introduced her.

"She is the Array Master, responsible for developing these two arrays. Don’t worry, she will get it done. She will also develop an intelligence system array that is capable of handling this machinery."

Tyler pointed at a certain machine on the design paper.

"I see! So, we can finish it within a month. But can you finish the Intelligence System Array within a month? Otherwise, this machine will not work."

Sher King nodded his head and asked.

"Don’t worry, she has already started working on them. Only if you can finish this machine, we can start making bombs in large quantities."

"I plan to use these in the upcoming war. Once we display the potential of these bombs, we can start selling them to the country’s army and other private families."

Tyler said.

He was against war, but that didn’t mean he was against killing his enemies. If someone was going to point their attacks at his city, he would do anything to retaliate.

Considering he wouldn’t be able to stop this war, he was going to use it to promote his weapons.

"But Lord, the budget for this project will be more than a hundred million gold coins unless you are willing to use the ores from the mines."

Hearing that, Tyler nodded.

"Yes, we will use Yellowstone Ore to make these machines. They must be made to work overtime."

Sher King looked at him with surprise and asked.

"Are you planning on getting as many contracts as possible through this war?"

Tyler didn’t answer. Instead, he looked deep into the distance.

His mind was conflicted. On one hand, he truly didn’t want this war to start. On the other hand, he realized he couldn’t stop this war.

The newspaper was a great idea. It could allow the younger generation to understand the consequences of the war.

But this was a world of cultivators.

The younger generation would need centuries to grow up. By then, who knows how many wars the older generation will start?

That’s why Tyler came up with another idea.

He couldn’t use the newspaper to stop the upcoming war. From his understanding of the countries, this war would only erupt into a bigger war.

The Church of Humanities wanted war against other races. The countries were fighting for Spirit Veins.

Even though the Grandmasters were forbidden to cause large-scale destruction in a country, it wasn’t a rule but a suggestion.

If too many forces got involved in the war, there was bound to be bigger conflict.

The only problem was this would be a slow war. It would start with few parties and end with few parties.

But in the process, many would be involved. The development, economy, and population would take a huge hit.

Tyler couldn’t do much about the population and economics, but he cared about the development.

He wanted to develop a company that could spread throughout the world with multiple industries.

The fastest would be weapons. Then, news came after that.

So, he wanted to make more weapons and sell them. He wanted to make this war even more devastating and end it as quickly as possible.

"Those who do not know pain can never understand peace."

"Healing Pill, Recovery Techniques, Limb Regeneration, Artificial Limbs, there are too many ways to heal people."

"This war will cause some death, but it will never be enough to erase the hatred in people’s hearts."

"I can’t do that. Nobody can do that. Unless you make them emotionless, hatred will never disappear."

"So, we will make those people disappear."

Hearing his words, Sher King felt chills in his blood.

He realized what Tyler was planning on doing. He was going to destroy this world.

Of course, it wasn’t going to be that destructive, but it did chill his heart.

He sighed heavily.

"Well, I am your employee, so your word is my command."

Hearing that, Tyler chuckled.

"Don’t worry, King! You don’t understand the fraction of things that I will accomplish, but I can’t do this alone."

"Elena, Daisy, Alfred, Gravin, and now your family, I will need your help. Without you, I can’t complete any of my dreams."

His words brought strong motivation to the Sher Family.

Elena smiled. She knew Tyler wanted peace, but this world wasn’t going to let him get that so easily.

The first target for the fishman was going to be his city.

How could he stay silent when the fishmen were about to target his city? Was he just going to beg them not to attack him?

He had already tried peaceful methods. It didn’t work. Now, he would show them what true pain is.

The war wouldn’t start immediately. During this time, he planned to visit the Church of Humanity.

He wanted to destroy them before they could cause any problems.

Of course, he also realized the consequences of doing this.

The Church of Humanity was an international cult, created by powerful cultivators of the King Realm or even the Emperor Realm.

That’s why, before being strong enough to face them, he had no choice but to hide his face.

This time, he didn’t wear a mask; instead, he used an acquired technique he had recently practiced.

[Thousand Face Changing Technique]

It was a unique technique that came from his teacher.

It could also work perfectly with his Blood Sword Scripture, allowing him to hide the true aura of his blood and mana.

’The Church of Humanity has many branches in the Red Hog Country, but it is mainly between the human civilization and other races.’

’It seems like I need to return to the Astral City. That’s where I met Elena for the first time.’

Thinking about that, a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, his face was a bit ordinary. He had black pupils, short black hair, a robust body, and slightly tanned skin.

He wore a black T-shirt and black pants. His face also had a mole on his right cheek and a scar below his left eye.

Since he was going towards the Astral City, this journey was going to take another day.

On the way, he met quite a lot of people. He was surprised to find some people interrogating him.

’I see! The Silva Family hasn’t let go of the Sher Family.’

He narrowed his eyes.

’It seems like I need to pull the Silva Family into the war.’

A smile appeared on his face.

’And this might just be the right moment.’
