"Central Ridge Mountain Range would be the best kind of defense for us. There are not many places where the whole hordes of the Danger Beasts could cross, so we need to defend those positions. If we fortify them enough, we can depend on heavy firepower to decrease the number to a manageable degree, and then, the Hunter could clear the rest."
Indeed, betting everything on the fortifications of the Central Ridge Mountain Range was dangerous, but at the same time, it was also the best possible bet they had. I could see that the Central Ridge Mountain Range was the best defensive point of the entire continent.
If the Partas Tribe wanted to effectively defend against the Danger Beast horde, the best bet would be to fortify the passages across the Central Ridge Mountain Range to the extreme.
Then, using the heavy firepower to curb their numbers, and then the Hunters and other troops of the Partas Tribe would finish the job.
"What about using the captured soldiers of the Northern Tribes as cannon fodder? It would be much safer than to just kill them all..."
I proposed to Patriarch Ezran Partas, who seemed to be pondering over my proposal.
"We already considered this proposal, but it was rather problematic. We don't really have the means of controlling such a large number of people from the Northern Tribes. If we capture them, there is a very high possibility of them rebelling and causing even greater damage to us, and that is something we cannot allow, especially during a critical time like this one."
This was indeed representing a grave problem for the Partas Tribe, and I could see why they were reluctant to use the prisoners and remnants of the Northern Tribes. If they had a feasible method for it, they would have very good cannon fodder against the Danger Beasts.
"That is indeed a grave concern, though I may have several solutions for the problem."
This problem with the captives from the Northern Tribes could be solved through several methods.
The easiest of them, was the one that would use the current technology of the Partas Tribe that was on the sufficient level, and it was to create something akin to Slave Chips that would be subsequently implanted into their brains.
Ensuring their unquestionable loyalty.
Another one would use the same thing, though, with the Warp Energy from the Immaterium. This method was more problematic because it would require me to devise the method in the first place, which, in fact, wasn't that hard, but the hard thing would be to teach it to others.
This method was even better than using the Slave Chip implantation into their brains because it chained their very own soul. If someone from the prisoners was proficient in the usage of the Psychic Powers and was a Psyker, they could destroy the Chips.
"I could either give you the blueprints for the creation of the Slave Chips that could be implanted into the brain of the person, or I can method of chain their soul to create absolute obedience. I would recommend using the second method because it was relatively safer compared to the first one; if someone from the captives is a Psyker or has some, even rudimentary, mastery over the Warp Energy, they would be able to either disable or destroy the Slave Chip in their brain."
Even though using the Slave Chips would be easier and faster, it was also less reliable than that of using the Warp Seal on their soul to chain them. Even though I would need to teach the Sorcerers of the Partas Tribe, we can get more from that than using the Slave Chips.
"Then I would like the second method. Of course, the Partas Tribe would comply with everything, and you would have the resources of the entire Partas Tribe available at your disposal."
Hearing that, I nodded at Patriarch Ezran Partas. With this being said, we finished our discussion, and subsequently, they showed me my quarters for the time being.

Icecrown Fortress City, Northern Area of the Feris Continent, Fenran Rex IX.
Several days have passed since I arrived at the Icecrown Citadel City together with the members of the Partas Tribe. For the time being, I spent most of the time acclimatizing myself to their standards of technology and giving advice to the Partas Tribe's scientists and researchers.
As I predicted, the technological level of the Partas Tribe was rather good; they managed to get their hands on a good number of STCs.
Even though, in this age, seeing a complete STC database was basically impossible, the Partas Tribe was lucky to find a lot of STCs containing the military technology of the Terran Solar Federation.
Aside from the military technology, their level of genetic engineering and medicinal technology was also very good; overall, one could say that they were rather advanced, and their education level was also very stable and advanced for the state that their civilization was.
Due to that, they were often taking my advice and notes with great interest, and within a few hours, they were able to solve many of their technical obstacles and create advances by leaps and bounds.
Just within these few days that I have spent with them, they were able to advance their technology by whole decades, which was already a staggering result. However, due to the fact that they have a very stable system, with a few of their problems being solved, they were able to implement the solutions almost immediately.
The only problem these days was the daughter of the Patriarch of the Partas Tribe, Esdeath Partas, who was essentially constantly annoying me for having a duel with her. And one could say that she was especially annoying and very confident of getting what she wanted.
She was very similar to Hela; her battle lust and thirst for power were something that I already recognized, and I knew that she wouldn't take no for an answer.
