Rhosyn stood in the hangar with the Chief Engineer, Joseph.
"As you can see, my Luminarch, the plans were only the first part of the construction. Let me show you what your faith in me has accomplished..." the mouse said eagerly, twitching his tail, a fervent look in his eye.
He pushed open the door and before them stood scores of giant machines, twisted metal and sharp indentations. Scores of metallic soldiers milled around, though they seemed machines, they acted with life, some working on larger machines, some resting, one group playing cards in the corner.
"Thanks to our research with the Great Work, these Living Machines are the perfect warriors. They are undying, their entire carapace is bullet resistant and blast proof, they feel no pain in battle, and since they are alive, we haven't run into the same problem with electromagnetic pulses that their predecessors had. Rhosyn smiled grimly. She hoped she wouldn't have to use them, but it seemed that the coming days would be full of death and destruction, thus...
She didn't like to think about it.
"How many do we have available to us? This is just one hangar and I know there are many thousands of these throughout the realm." she said.
The Chief Engineer twitched excitedly, mousy tail swishing.
"We have over twenty million soldiers, another ten in stasis, sixty four thousand MechanoWurms, Enough transports for all of the military, and mechs a-plenty. Each a war machine that could destroy their worth a hundred times over!" the mouse squeaked happily.
Rhosyn winced. He was effective, but slightly terrifying...
