Without discussing the conflict between Zhao Guang and the Temple, after the battle in the south ended, various countries began to withdraw their troops.
However, despite the withdrawal, the borders still retained a strong presence, as a precaution against the City of Death.
Originally, Zhao Guang did not border the City of Death, and the troops were supposed to be withdrawn. But unexpectedly, the Beastman Empire and the Chirali Empire joined forces to create a new territory for him.
The piece of land, where the borders of the two countries met, was actually ceded to him.
This long and narrow territory isn't particularly significant and cannot support much development but is just nominal.
With this piece of land, people on both sides will have to pay Zhao Guang a certain amount of tax if they want to conduct some trade in the future.
But that's just in theory; if they really want to pass through, there's no way they would let him know. After all, it's not realistic for him to go around capturing the merchants of the two countries.
The two countries, due to this buffer zone, will find it harder to engage in large-scale conflicts in the future.
This situation caused a headache for the Klein Empire, because now the two countries can focus on dealing with it. Yet, they couldn't do the same because it wouldn't benefit Zhao Guang.
Such a situation wouldn't have been agreed upon by the Xuanwu Empire either, as it would just cause trouble for itself.
But at Sephidya's request, Zhao Guang agreed.
There was no choice; after this battle, a grudge was formed between the City of Death and the Dragon Clan. Although the Dragon Clan could not use this as an excuse to launch an attack on the City of Death, they could find other excuses.
For example, they could station themselves on the border of this narrow territory.
To protect these precious giant dragons, Zhao Guang left a floating battleship there to prevent them from being hunted in secret.
On this day, Zhao Guang appeared in a desolate area of the North.
"Master, is there something special here?" Xi Fei looked around curiously. Zhao Guang waved his hand, and the ground cracked open, revealing a vast underground space.
"These are Bimon Giant Beasts? How are there so many?" Sephidya narrowed her eyes, instinctively releasing a surge of killing intent.
There was no helping it. Although Bimon Giant Beasts aren't on par with the Dragon Clan or direct adversaries like the Giants, their formidable combat power and aggressiveness still pose a certain threat to the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan doesn't have a good impression of the Bimon, so it's no wonder that seeing so many would incite Sephidya's instinctive murderous intent.
Zhao Guang smiled, "I created these. From now on, there will be a large number of Bimon in our territory."
"Can these things be created too? Is this the cloning biotech technique you mentioned, Master?" Xi Fei asked.
Zhao Guang nodded, "Pretty much. I used biotech to mass-produce the Bimon. The reason I hadn't done this before was due to the contracts. I needed to improve a contract."
Both of them nodded, knowing it was a bloodline contract, one of Zhao Guang's specialties.
"This contract can't be too weak or too strong. For absolute control, I have to elevate it to a legendary level. It even needs to enhance the improvement speed of the Bimon Giant Beasts to some extent."
Bimon aren't like the Dragon Clan, who can enhance their strength through sleep.
Though Bimon can strictly be classified as Magic Beasts, they are inherently closer to Beastmen. Their strength increases through training and combat, sometimes requiring a certain level of insight.
They genuinely cultivate Combat Energy, not relying on inborn Magic Power to develop.
"The contract you are developing shouldn't be that troublesome, Master. These are not Fishmen."
Zhao Guang knew what Xi Fei meant, wondering why it took so long to come up with this.
Zhao Guang helplessly shrugged, "I wanted to do it sooner, but I found out it was just not feasible. The Bimon Giant Beasts made through biotech were extremely unstable."
"What's the problem?" Both were puzzled.
"It's because the Bimon made through tech have no soul. Without soul control, the rampant Combat Energy destroys not only other things but also themselves. The stronger the Bimon Giant Beasts are, the more issues arise."
"Despite all the measures I've taken, their lifespan remains short."
Zhao Guang had no choice: "In the end, I had to forcibly use super reproduction magic on these cloned specimens, allowing them to breed on their own. I discovered that by the third generation, they would truly possess complete souls."
Indeed, these were young creatures proliferated using Zhao Guang's super reproduction methods, just growing at a faster pace.
In terms of quality observation, this batch is exceptionally poor, akin to the Nagas that Zhao Guang had initially developed.
"So although there are many Bimon, they can only be used as tools. Only the next generation can normalize. But in that case, aren't there too many Bimon?"
Sephidya suddenly said, "I apply for some sub-dragons to use this method."
This method certainly won't be used on giant dragons due to their immense pride. But they also wouldn't idly watch the Bimon grow strong, since if their power becomes formidable, they might team up to hunt giant dragons.
Even if Zhao Guang disallowed it, some dragons might proactively provoke Bimon due to the threat.
However, if sub-dragons become strong, it would effectively enhance the power of the Dragon Clan.
Also, Sephidya had her ideas, hoping the forces under her could grow stronger.
Zhao Guang pondered a moment and nodded, "It can be done, but only if those individuals agree. I don't want to end up quarreling with the powerful beings of the Dragon Clan in the future over these matters." Zhao Guang had to preemptively address the issue.
Some issues, though solvable by Sephidya, are not as easy to resolve for others.
"So, Master, you are bringing out these Bimon Giant Beasts to deal with matters on Borick Continent?"
"That's right, though not with these. I've enhanced the biotech once again. When they need it over there, it should be available on time. As for these fellows, I'll leave them for Xi Fei to manage in the future."
This couldn't be given to Sephidya to manage, or they might unexpectedly get wiped out someday.
Sephidya is indeed obedient, but sometimes, unspoken mistakes might occur.
Zhao Guang can't blame Sephidya for such matters, so it's best to avoid it for now. As the nation develops and grows stronger, increasing coordination is needed. It's no different even in his household, despite not expecting it to be this way.
In the subsequent time, Zhao Guang devoted most of his energy to perfecting cloning technology.
