Dresden Arcanum Empire didn't have the sophisticated military approach or the strict doctrine that the Baatorians were implementing in every battle, fight, or conquest, no matter the strength of the enemy.
Even if the plane they were invading seemed absolutely weak and ordinary, the military doctrine of the Imperialis Militarum and other armed forces dictated to approach with the utmost caution till the last hostile lifeform had been killed and the entire plane had been conquered.
After several hours the pacification of the Heaven-Defying Sect had ended, with the forces of the Dresden Arcanum Empire achieving decisive victory over the force of cultivators, and the Arcanists controlled the most important place of the entire plane.
"How long would it take to clean up the entire plane?"
Weissmann sat on the throne in the command center of his mothership as he was in meeting with his Generals, Admirals, and a few advisors from the Chthnonian Empire of the Baator.
"About one week, two weeks for the complete and thorough clean-up."
Stated one of the generals from the Imperialis Military.
Cleaning out of the planes after the planar conquest was always a troublesome thing.
Mainly because this act was practically necessary to do because even if the main resistance was crushed, many insurgence elements would still survive and hide somewhere.
And so the plane could effectively operate under the rule of the Dresden Arcanum Empire, they would need to clean it out properly.
Fortunately, the cultivators of the Heaven-Defying Sect, which ruled the entire Primary Grade 2 Plane, were concentrating in their sect, primarily.
So, only a few hundreds of thousands of them were outside, and those who were, were mainly disciples of the Outer Sect, meaning they were pretty weak; only a few Elders and experts of the Heaven-Defying Sect were outside of the sect during the siege of it.
"You have two weeks to clean out the plane completely from all insurgent elements and people who could cause trouble for harvest, build solid fortifications and defenses before leaving the garrison here and moving towards the next target."
Ordered Arcane Ancestor as all of them bowed in respect and immediately went to work.
It was clear that this plane would be ransacked for all resources and then probably sold to the Chthonian Empire for their devices.
Arcanists rarely conquered the plan to obtain resources from them for a long period of time or even indefinitely. Such things were problematic, as they would require a lot of manpower, a permanently stationed army, and some experts to protect it, not talking about the time for it.
That was the reason why the Chthonian Empire never kept the planes they conquered and rather either absolutely ransacked them and destroyed them in their plunder or used them as means to expand the Baator, which was actually the best thing because by expanding the Baator, then the Baator would yield more resources.

MC POV
Blackstone Fortress
The past days were suspiciously peaceful, as our forces rarely met with any strong resistance from the Taesci Race or their vassals, as their planes fell one after another.
At the same time, I remained at the comfort of the Blackstone Fortress together with my wives as we spent time together.
Surprisingly, none of the Tier 12 experts appeared when we continued our attacks; I predicted that they were scheming something, probably choosing some suitable plane where they could hold our advance altogether, possibly wiping out the majority of our expeditionary force.
"My Lord Husband, you are neglecting your marital duties here."
Venelana's voice broke me from my train of thoughts as we were lying naked, not only with Vena, but Grayfia and Hela were there too, though they were sleeping as we finished another round of our lovemaking, and now we had a pause.
What a life.
Before I could enjoy some once more pleasurable activities, my Holo-Brain vibrated, notifying me of some incoming call from someone as I cursed at anyone who was calling me at this moment.
"Zeoticus."
Stated the image of Adolf K. Weissmann, who called him in this untold moment, as he wanted to rip the man apart because he always called in the most inappropriate moment he could. It was fascinating how he always did it.
"Make it short, Weissmann."
I was pretty irritated at this moment, and it was clearly showing itself.
"We assaulted the Ancient Eternal Star Region and conquered one of the stronger vassals of the Three-Eyed Race; right now, we are advancing at the home plane of the Three-Eyed Race."
At least he called with something important to tell me, or it would be fucked up.
"Any encounters with the Tier 12 Ancestors or anyone of that level?"
I questioned him as he shook his head in denial because their conquest till now was without any complications. They didn't encounter anyone of that level till now; clearly, the people of that level were still waiting for their chance.
"No, though we are soon approaching the territory of the Three-Eyed Race, and I predict that the Ancestor Three-Eyes will show himself or send that dammed psionic weapon in his stead."
Stated Weissmann clearly, as I nodded in agreement.
While the level of technology of the Three-Eyed Race was inferior to that of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, they had some neat weapons, one of which was a weapon capable of killing even a Tier 12 powerhouse.
"Then continue; if you encounter it, then call me, and I will order Architect to hack into that thing... maybe we can learn something if we reverse-engineer it."
I said to Weissmann, as the reverse-engineering of some of those technological wonders of the Three-Eyed Race was something that had dwelled in my mind since the start of the invasion into the Ancient Eternal Star Region.
"Certainly, then I will be going out for now."
Weissmann then cut the connection as he told what he needed to tell, and now, finally, I could return to the more pleasurable activities of the day.
