The Phenex Domain had become more powerful after Riser Phenex's plans were implemented. The rogue devils who wished to cause trouble within the Phenex Domain were neutralized thoroughly, and Riser had the system to thank for this. The Clash of Clans template not only gave him great power but great knowledge too.

{Riser Phenex - Ultimate Class Devil
Skillset: [Advanced Regeneration], [Absolute Fire Manipulation], [Magic Manipulation], [Azure Flames of Annihilation], [Sword Talent], [Magic Mastery], [Multicast], [Flight], [Enhanced Devil Physiology], [Body Augmentation], [Blacksmith], [Enhanced Perception], [Enhanced Memory]
Templates: [Clash of Clans Template] - [Witch], [Electro Titan], [Super Archer]}
The Blacksmith ability had granted him the comprehension to create building plans, and the young Phenex had constructed defense systems that could decimate many.
Rias Gremory and her peerage arrived at the Phenex Domain with Sirzechs Lucifer to meet with Riser Phenex. The peerage was shocked to see the defense systems employed throughout the territory.
The people around her were happy, and even though they were of lower ranks, they were content. "Nii-sama, these defenses?" Rias asked, and Sirzechs looked at a tower with four archers standing on it.
"These towers are the Archer Towers. Riser kun had informed me of them before. They are constructed using stones that are very durable and can absorb magic, channeling it to the Underworld. A perfect defense against magic attacks. However, the archers standing atop are subordinates of Delia Hood of Riser's peerage. She trained the batch of archers herself, and they watch everything that happens within the domain. Only the magic signatures of those registered in the tower can stand on the tower. It works similarly to the magic recognition systems of the Evil Pieces," Sirzechs said, and the peerage was dumbfounded.
Riser had realized while the Clash of Clans system was super useful, it needed a major revamp if it had to be deployed in reality. So, he would ask Sirzechs to blast a full-powered attack onto a small stone when he visited him. But at that time, Sirzechs had no idea what the kid wanted to do, and when Riser created something, it shocked everyone.
If Riser was to embody someone from Clash of Clans, then the system had granted Riser two powerful templates: [The Chief] and [The Builder]. As long as Riser could acquire the necessary materials, he could build whatever he needed.

"Welcome to the New District, Schweiz, in the Phenex Domain, Sirzechs-sama and Rias-sama. I am Xuelan, the rook of Riser-sama's peerage. I shall give you a tour around the new district, and then we will head to the city hall where Riser-sama is," the blue-haired rook greeted them, and the first instinct that everyone had was that she was strong.
"Xuelan is an Ultimate Class Devil in battle prowess despite her status as a reincarnated devil. Due to her strength, she was granted the title of Duchess and holds her own domain adjacent to the Phenex as their vassal," Sirzechs revealed, which shocked them even more.
"As you have seen, Schweiz is a city directly under Riser-sama's supervision, which was constructed earlier this year. This is the Archer Tower, and there are six multi-archer towers at the borders of the district with four platforms connected to a central archer tower that has eight platforms.
Each archer is handpicked by Riser-sama and the team's bishop, Delia, and after undergoing strict training under them, they are assigned their positions. They are high-class to low Ultimate Class in their prowess," the peerage nodded dumbly.
Moving on, the peerage could see Xuelan interact with the citizens, who would bow down to Sirzechs. If there were old devils, they would give the kids some gifts from their stalls. "You don't have to give me gifts every time I pass through here. What will you sell in the stalls during the game?" Xuelan reprimanded them lightly, and the old couple chuckled as they continued on with the tour.
"You said stalls, right? Can you tell me more about the stalls?" Rias asked, and Xuelan nodded.
"Due to a decline in business because of the appearance of rogue supernaturals, Riser-sama allocated space in the streets where upcoming businesses could put up stalls and promote their products. He said that before the Rating Game, two days will be for a festival where their stalls will be judged by him, and he will give them pointers to grow as a business. There are a few couples who have lived in this remote place, and we granted them a permanent residence within Schweiz at no cost, provided they look after this place. Their family holds the role of the [Scribe], where they have to record every decision made at the city hall and submit the report to Riser-sama every week." Sirzechs nodded and smiled as this was a very efficient way of looking after the city's management and promoting businesses within the Phenex territory. Essentially, their family were the secretaries, and Sirzechs could tell that they were high-class devils themselves.
"The trees around have properties to absorb magic, and the more they absorb, the denser they grow. Atop the trunks of these trees stand wizards who have been trained in magic by the team's queen, Yubellena, and Riser-sama. These wizards have sworn to protect the populace in this place. They were assigned by Riser-sama, and every six hours, they switch places in different towers. There are six Wizard Towers that overlook Schweiz. The wizards can take on their own apprentice if one passes the trials of the wizard," Xuelan said, and they nodded.
"Not bad. They are in a class of their own too," Sirzechs said, impressed.
With a clap of Xuelan's hands, the nearby mountains had openings through which magic bullets were fired. "These are the Ricochet Cannons embedded into the mountains. They can fire magic bullets. These bullets shall only injure those whose magic signature has not been registered and are tasked with decay magic, petrification magic, mind control magic, and destruction magic, which has been reverse-engineered from Lady Venelena's magic with her permission, of course. We have promised to share the cannon technology with Lady Venelena for the protection of the House of Gremory's Domain too," Xuelan said. While Sirzechs frowned, his face morphed into a smile. The potential pros outweighed the cons.
"How is that even possible?" Rias asked with disbelief. With another clap, the cannons disappeared, and Rias and Sirzechs could sense numerous streams of magic running below them.
"These are conduits created by Riser-sama. They provide nourishment to the elder trees and act as fuel for the cannons. The magic is converted to destruction before it can be fired. However, once the power of destruction is created, it has to be fired, and hence this method is only to be deployed when dealing with an enemy that we cannot deal with by ourselves. Because this will endanger the citizens too," Sirzechs nodded at Xuelan's explanation.
"The very fact that this city is within the mountains gives it a strategic advantage of height, and its advanced defense capabilities, which baffled Ajuka, guarantee that this will be an impenetrable fortress. I had to drag out Ajuka when he started to pester Riser-kun for the blueprints of these mechanisms and to allow him to research them," Sirzechs said, laughing.
'Do you understand now, Rias?' Sirzechs thought as Rias was in deep thought. Xuelan did not reveal any more of the city's defenses, which made Sirzechs look forward to the future. They headed toward the city hall, where they saw Riser discussing things with the mayor, who had a thoughtful look on his face.
Riser, now with the appearance of a young king, stood at the center of the grand hall, his presence commanding and authoritative. His attire was a blend of traditional Phenex regalia and modern battle armor, emphasizing both his noble lineage and his readiness for combat.
"Sirzechs-sama, Rias welcome. I see Xuelan has been giving you a thorough tour of Schweiz," Riser greeted them with a confident smile. His gaze then shifted to the mayor. "Thank you for your input, Mayor. We will implement those changes immediately."
The mayor, a middle-aged devil with a stern but respectful demeanor, nodded and left the hall, leaving Riser to focus on his guests.
"Riser, this city is impressive. You've truly outdone yourself," Sirzechs said, his tone genuinely admiring.
Riser nodded appreciatively. "Thank you, Sirzechs-sama. The cooperation of my peerage and the people of this domain that made it a reality. We have worked tirelessly to ensure that Schweiz not only serves as a stronghold but also as a symbol of what we can achieve together."
