Goldtooth Fortress City, Outskirts of the Demon Continent, 8th Floor of the Tower, several hours later.

As soon as Samiel and Yvraine returned to the Goldtooth Fortress City they first went to their inn room, where Samiel put Yvraine to sleep since she had clearly been significantly weakened by the overuse of the Metamagic that she was using when they were ambushed by the assassins from the Avalon Kingdom.

While the Mana Exhaustion was already not a threat to her, she was still very tired and needed rest. Even though her Mana Reserves have long ago recovered thanks to her own regeneration speed and extensive usage of Mana Potions, she was still fatigued and used a lot of stamina during the fight.

After putting up Yvraine to rest, he opened up his Holo-Brain and directly went to the terminal of the Hall of Kadath, as he saw that he got 100 Contribution Points for capturing the assassin from the Avalon Kingdom.

As a matter of fact, he would for sure get more Contribution Points following the Bishop Antigonus\' extraction of the information from the captured assassin. According to the value of the information he might even receive additional Contribution Points, all that depend on the value of the information the assassins had, and his intuition was telling him that it would be something very crucial.

Afterward, he started writing a few messages, while one of them was for the Cosmos Trading Association. Cosmos Trading Association as the name implies it was an association of all corporations, guilds, companies, merchants, chambers of commerce and other trading organizations that operated on the Dimensional scale. Meaning all of those who were registered within the Cosmos Trading Association were doing their business across the Tower or many other Worlds of the Cosmos.

At the same time, this seemed like a completely unnecessary step for the started because registration within the Cosmos Trading Association was mainly required for the Corporations, Companies and other merchants who wished to trade across the Cosmos, between myriads of Dimensions.

Another thing was that, Samiel planned to register there instantly from the start, as that would give him some advantages over those who were not registered, as the registration within the Cosmos Trading Association made it easier to transport goods across the Cosmos and there were some other advantages like the exclusive usage of private Dimensional Pathways that were under the direct control of the Cosmos Trading Association.

Not to mention that Samiel came up with pretty cool name and wanted to have it registered as soon as possible.

The IMC, or by the full name, Inter-Cosmos Manufacturing Corporation, whose main focus would be mass-producing of weapons, armor and the development of new engines of war. That was something that Samiel was very passionate about because across the Cosmos, that were actually only very few companies or factions that pushed for the development in the weapon department.

The Forge Cities of Dwarves and Gnomes usually guarded their discoveries with jealousy and didn\'t want to share a shit. Same about some advanced civilizations in the Cosmos. While he could understand it from the point where somebody didn\'t want to spread their knowledge because it could be used against them, but many places in the Cosmos were stuck in their time.

After finishing that thing, he started writing a message to the Canon Master Brigric Goldengroc whom he became affiliated during his stay on the 3rd Floor, as he learned that the dwarven cannon master wished to explore the Cosmos, aside from the Forge City, where he was born.

The majority of the dwarves never left the Forge Cities / Fortress Cities where they were born, preferring to stay there for their whole lives. Nobody knew the exact reason behind their mentality, but many wrote it off as dwarven stubbornness. That was the reason why it was relatively rare to see a dwarf outside of their territory; most commonly, they left only when they were in search of some precious minerals and ores for their smithing projects; aside from that, they were cooped in whatever forge or smithy they were in.

Still, he needed someone to start with and he had a certain idea about the character of the Brigric Goldengroc, and knew that he was the trustworthy person to start with. He could get recommendations on the other people through the Hall of Kadath, or he knew that he could ask the Hall of Kadath to provide him with anything, but that would require him to hand over stock of the Corporation, something that he was reluctant, as he wanted to have it all for himself.

Rationally speaking, Samiel predicted that he would be handing over some shares of the IMC, but the maximum he wanted and was able to hand over was approximately around 20%, while he planned to leave the rest for him.

Either way, after he ascended to the Transcendence, it would either be divided between his descendants if there would be any, and they would be strongly tied to the Hall of Kadath, so in the end, it didn\'t really matter, but it still sounded good.

When thinking about the place, where he could start his business, the first one to come to his mind was the 3rd Floor of the Tower in Zephystrand City. From what he knew, there was already a significant dwarven population, especially in the merchant district of the city, so that could be used as the recruiting ground for the employees.

Additionally, with the 3rd Floor being a relatively safe place, it was a suitable place, where to place factories and other things that would be mass-producing military hardware before they would grow big enough to find some suitable Lower World for that thing, which could be entirely industrialized and terraformed into one huge magetech factory.

Not to mention, he would need to visit the 3rd Floor personally, but moving across the Floors was not as easy at it seemed. The reason for that was simple, the Tower had a certain purpose, and not everyone could be allowed to move to the Lower Floors from the Higher Floors, and to do so, one needed either some Artifact, find a natural pathway or make use of some Faction that had a method of moving to the Lower Floors from the Higher Floors.

Of course, that didn\'t include the people who climbed the entire Tower or Legendaries who had some benefits from the Tower, and from what Samiel heard, upon reaching the Gold-Tier, one could move freely unrestricted under the 50th Floor, meaning that once he reached the 50th Floor, he could make use of the Tower\'s System as a transportation method, though that was restricted only to those who were directly connected to the Tower\'s System.

Fortunately, because he was a member of the Hall of Kadath, it was no problem, as he could just use the Dimensional Network of the Hall. Practically every faction in the Tower had its own Dimensional Network, which was how they moved a large number of Troops across various Floors of the Tower while bypassing the individual restrictions.

If they didn\'t have something like that it would be impossible for factions like Nesser Dynasty, Underdark, Pale Council and others to hold their vast territories and countless worlds they ruled over the Cosmos.

Meanwhile, while Samiel was enjoying his time at the inn and tending to his matters, the Imp Demon Tribe launched a massive assault on the fortress of the Human Brotherhood that was located on the Two-Faced Monkey Island.

In truth, it was the last human forward fortress across the entire archipelago of islands that were in between the Human Continent and Demon Continent, as the other Demon Tribes long ago secured the rest of the islands while suffering various degrees of losses due to fierce human resistance and traps.

Not to mention, right now, many of the Demon Tribes have started suffering from assassination attempts, and some of the more promising of their younger generation were already killed by human assassins. Nevertheless, they still managed to completely assume control over the entire archipelago of islands and started focusing the next war efforts on the huge invasion of the Human Continent.

In the meantime, the Humans on the Human Continent started growing very, like very restless, because all of the support that the Human Broterhhood was receiving from the Magisterium and the Avalon Kingdom and some of the Germinal Order evaporated into thin air.

The moment that the war started, all advisors and people who descended here escaped or just outright left, which left the Human Brotherhood basically helpless because they were depending on the support of them to help them win the war against the Demon Tribes. The Human Brotherhood higher-ups were very well aware that their chances of winning against the Demon Tribes on the 8th Floors without the support of at least one of the 13 Gates was 0,00%.

But unfortunately for them, there was no place to retreat and no means of escape, so the only thing that remained for them was to fight till the bitter end, which would for sure be extermination or enslavement. Naturally, demons would prefer enslavement because that would bring them more benefits in the long term, than just slaughtering all of the humans because slaves were still priced commodities.

The Demon Tribes were already en masse moving troops from the Demon Continent to the archipelago and budling various means of transportation, ranging from the wide fleet of airships and ships to even an artificial bridge that was connecting several of the islands with the Human Continent.

It was evident that the final invasion of the Human Continent was just around the corner. The Demon Tribes were bringing everything they had in their disposition for the fight, while the inhabitants of the Human Continent were preparing for their last stand, either death or enslavement for countless generations to come.

Right now, on an unnamed island, hundreds upon hundreds of ships were stationed and an equal amount of airships were floating above the island, all of them made with the magetech, as the Golden Demon Tribe bought them from some dwarven forge cities or they were just plundered from the enemies of the Demon Tribes.

In the meeting room, the representative of the Golden-Horned Tribe, who was at the Gold-Tier, was having a strategic meeting with the Generals from several more powerful Demon Tribes who would be participating in the first wave of the invasion, where they would be breaking the initial resistance of the Human Brotherhood.

The name of the Demon from the Golden-Horned Tribe was Kishrith, who was one of the prestigious lineages of the Golden-Horned Tribe, which already was supplemented by his power as the Level 85 Gold-Tier, giving him the command over the invasion of the Human Continent.

He was in charge of the Invasion of the Human Continent; aside from here, there were people from other powerful Demon Tribes who were taking this place and entire act as a means of getting merits. Most notable being the people from the Flame Demon Tribe, Shadow Demon Tribe, or others, not that famous, albeit none bit less powerful.

For several hours Kishrith discussed the plans with the other people in charge; many of them had significant military experiences. If there was one thing that demons knew, it was waging war and they were very good at it. Albeit many still preferred to use their pure numbers and brute force, there were many of those who understood the concept of strategy and tactics, more than just rushing straight at the target.

"How many troops can we transport in the first wave?"

Asked Kishrith the person in charge of logistics, who was coordinating efforts with the other branches, as they were preparing the invasion in a more supportive way, especially in preparing the transportation means, because that was right now the most important thing.

"With all available ships and airships, approximately something between 250,000 to 300,000 warriors."

That number was neither good but was it not also overly bad, as it was still something within the range of acceptable and anticipated results. Of course, these warriors are all minimally a peak Iron-Tier, as the resistance would be extremely fierce at the fortification lines across the shores of the Human Continent.

The majority of the vanguard were of the Steel-Tier and thousands of the Bronze-Tier Demons, and there were also a few tens of Silver-Tier Commanders, more than a hundred and fifty of the Silver-Tier Demons.

According to the unspoken rules, the Gold-Tiers won\'t be participating directly in the wide battles because that would cause far greater damage to both sides, though Kishrith knew that in this battle, the few Gold-Tiers of the Human Brotherhood would be going for the greatest damages to the Demons as possible, so they would need to watch out for potential Gold-Tier attacking the lower tiered troops.

The Human Brotherhood was on its lower ends, so they would do everything to gain any kind of advantage. And sometimes, even the slightest one could lead to significant changes. Naturally, their Gold-Tier Professionals were not worthy of mentioning in front of the ones of the Demon Tribes.
