Vlad was delighted with the exponential growth of the Xaos Kingdom. Every expansion of their borders brought an influx of resources—materials to forge new armor and weapons, ingredients for potent potions, and rare elements for crafting advanced runes.
These resources fueled the creation of new soldiers and amplified the strength of those already in service. The cycle of growth was self-sustaining and accelerating.
There was little Vlad needed to say to the A.I. Chip Clone. Overlord had surpassed him in tactical brilliance and administrative acumen. As an artificial intelligence entity, Overlord continually improved the more it focused on a task, and it had been dedicated to warfare and kingdom-building for over two years now.
"Excellent work," Vlad said, acknowledging Overlord's efforts. He knew praise meant nothing to the A.I., but he felt compelled to express his appreciation before moving on to his next task.
