Kingly Adventures

Chapter 94: Scouting, Capture and Meridians

Ten recon droids were send out to fully map the surroundings. The droids were shaped like birds and equipped with small blasters. These droids could also record videos and bring back the images. While, the droids were scouting the land, Alexander sat down on the ground and started his meditation. Alexander's kingdom had more force than the star wars galaxy right now, as all the force released by his subjects was concentrated in between the three celestial bodies.  

Alexander had during his 100 year long meditation session had managed to awaken another 36.5 Trillion magic cells bringing the total awakened cells to 137.5 Trillion cells. Alexander had nearly cried in frustration as his body had 76 Quadtrillion cells and he after nearly 400 years of meditation had awakened only 137.5 Trillion magic cells. If his rate of advancement doesn't increase, it would take him 210,000 years to become a god of magic. The only good news was that awakening every billionth cell added one year to Alexander's lifespan.

His draconic heritage made it that he would live for hundreds of thousands of years so Alexander was not going to die soon. This was not taking into account that a king exists as long as his kingdom exists so Alexander was essentially immortal and was going to advance quite comfortably. It was just that Alexander had not lived for that long so he was balking at the thought of such a long time.

Alexander was brought out of his thoughts as the droids returned back to the kingdom. The droids were checked for damages and none were found till now. The images were extracted and examined. Samuel, the shrewd guy came up to him and reported, " The droids  have covered a radius of 3,000 kilometers. One of the droid was attacked by a small bird but no harm was done to it. The droid fired the blasters but only the furs of the bird were slightly burned...These blasters are capable of seriously injuring a human being but nothing happened to the small bird. The droid then emptied it's entire payload on the bird and the bird fled after expriencing some major burns after repetitive hitting on the same spots."

Alexander grew serious and replied, " I have already told you the increased gravity of this world has made the bodies of the inhabitants stronger than you can imagine. Show me the video of the fight."  Samuel passed a datapad to Alexander and he played the video.

Alexander watched as the droid was passing over a small forest when it was attacked by a bird. The bird attacked suddenly and with ferocity from below. The bird was light green in colour with orange eyes and was half a feet long. The bird couldn't see the droid but it could somehow sense the movement of droid and determine its position. The evidence of it was present in the video, the droid had tried to escape and was able to retreat back quickly due to it's sheatlh protocols. The bird frantically searched around after the initial disengagement and then suddenly stilled. The bird seemed to be concentrating on something and then turned to look towards the escaping droid.

The bird screeched and gave chase. The droid fired it's blasters and the bird due to its speed was not able to dodge, the bird staggered but only it's furs were slightly burned. The droid was equipped with CQC so it reacted according to circumstances, and emptied it's entire payload on the bird. It's advanced computing power allowed the blasters to repeatedly hit the already injured parts. The bird finally retreated after that and hid in the canopy. The droid returned back to the cave after that. The video ended after that. Alexander watched as the video ended. 

Alexander looked up and said, " What have we found?"

Samuel replied, " The droids were send in all the eight directions to scope out the surroundings while two tried scan the already scanned areas for any hidden resources. This planet is at least 100 times denser than Earth.  As the droid was not as advanced enough, we were able to probe only 5 kilometers deep inside the ground. The density of ground increases as one goes further down. We found huge deposits of metals deep underground. The geologists theorise that these metal are much denser than the deposits of our kingdom. We also found 15 villages. The size of villages is equal to human towns. This world is truly vast. We scouted 3,000 kilometers in radius and found that we were still in plains and slight hilly area. One of the droid spotted a very large forest in the distance but did not scout there."
