After everything was decided, mainly the most basic outlines of the battle plan on the Frozen Coven, I went to the task of crafting the Dawn Pillars, or at least some version of it, because, with the current things on hand, it would be impossible to recreate the pinnacle of the Arkanotek Engineering on the Fenran Rex IX.
Certainly, it took some tweaks here and there, but sooner enough, with the calculating capabilities of the Architect and my own, it didn't take long to create a functioning prototype that should be able to nullify any Psyker Abilities in some areas entirely.
Not only this, but to successfully manufacture the Pylons that we would need, I also needed to increase the technological capabilities of the Partas Tribe and tweak their production capabilities a bit, because otherwise, they wouldn't be able to manufacture everything that I needed to have.
Crafting something so complex as the Pylons that were capable of nullifying Psyker Abilities and severing the connection between the Immaterium and Realspace was something that was a bit above the current capabilities of the technology of the Partas Tribe.
Still, after we gave them the necessary upgrades, they were able to manufacture the parts needed for the Pylons, and slowly, everything was coming together. Just two months after the initial discussion, we already had all the necessary Pylons constructed with a progression of 56%.
It was even faster than I had anticipated, but it seemed that I had seriously underestimated the anticipation of the Partas Tribe in this endeavor.
The hatred towards the Frozen Coven was high, not to mention the Frozen Coven was often compared to the Partas Tribe, and they were something akin to pseudo-contestants for the title of the strongest faction within the Northern Area of the Feris Continent.
Northern Tribes were not really taken into the equation, because they were individually rather weak and their sole strong side was the fact that they had numbers on their side, but aside from that, the number of true powerhouses under their command was low.
During the upcoming months, aside from overseeing the creation of the Dawn Pillars, I was also participating in drafting the plans of attack. My experiences of waging wars and conquering hostile factions were worth several thousand years.
In the end, everything went even more smoothly than I had initially predicted, and the Dawn Pillars were finished faster than anticipated. When everything was ready, Patriarch Ezran Partas gave the overall command of the operation to his daughter, Esdeath.
As the Heiress of the Partas Tribe and overall General of Armies of the Partas Tribe, there was no one who was more suitable to command the operation against the Frozen Coven, which was leading us here.
Where we were right now.
In front of the headquarters of the Frozen Coven, as we were laying siege on their fortress with the Dawn Pillars being placed all around the headquarters of the Frozen Coven. It was clear that the Sorcerers of the Frozen Coven were rather nervous about the incoming invasion of their territories.
Obviously, they were not really aware of the true purpose of the Dawn Pillars as they were not activated, but they were smart enough to realize that something was going on when they saw the troops of the Partas Tribe placing the enormous monoliths all around the fortress of the Frozen Coven.
All of the efforts of the Frozen Coven to thwart the efforts of the Partas Tribe ended in catastrophic failure because the Partas Tribe were experts when it came to combating and hunting down the Psykers or anyone using the Psyker powers.
"We are ready; the clean-up operation has been finished."
As I was doing the final checkups on the Dawn Pillars and ensuring that everything would work as it should be, I was interrupted by Esdeath, who was standing behind me in her usual general military uniform, as everyone stopped doing what they were doing and gave her a salute, before the people returned to their previous jobs.
Most of the people in the room where we were right now were engineers and scientists of the Partas Tribe, many of whom I taught personally during my stay in the Partas Tribe, as I was essentially cultivating a new generation of engineers and scientists.
Something that the Partas Tribe was rather lacking, or more precisely, it wasn't their strongest side, as they were a Tribe of Hunters and Warriors foremost.
Everything else was secondary for them.
I even learned that they had started dabbling into the aspect of technology more and more, just during the time when the Ezran Partas became the Patriarch of the Partas Tribe, when he saw the true power of the technologically advanced faction when he was in the Southern Area of the Feris Continent.
"Okey, just give me a few moments after we finish the last test, we need to ensure that everything will work as it should."
In the long history of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, there were some events when our efforts were thwarted or failed due to the functioning tech. Because of that, we had protocols requiring that all weapons and special equipment, like the Dawn Pillars, be checked several times before the battle began.
"Are you going to fight?"
During the time I was staying in the Partas Tribe, we grew rather close together; in fact, we had a lot in common, and we were spending a lot of time together. It often started with Esdeath pestering me to fight against her because she didn't really win against me even once during that time.
In all of our spars, she lost something more badly than the other time.
Still, for a battle maniac like her who only respected the strong, it was only understandable that her interest in me grew to the point where she started making advances on me and viewed me as a potential suitor.
Not like I was against it.
She was rather a nice person behind the exterior of a fierce warrior and battle maniac who only knew how to kill people.
Yeah, it sounded rather weird, but that was how things were.
Even Hela was actually rather a pleasant person to be around for those who were actually given the privilege.
As they said, never judge a book by its cover.
