22-Mining Expedition

Rogue stood upon the Main Bridge while looking at the Holographic Map of her Base. The Four Main Roads were complete, and it was time for her to begin building the Structures needed for the Base. The Road Network had an Influence of 100 Kilometers in Radius around the Factory. She also had built a Fusion Reactor in the Northwestern Area of her Base. Since Rogue had a power source for her Base, It was time for her to look at the Mineral Deposit. It was one of the important structures of her Base as it would take resources from the outside. It was the Structure for gathering resources.

The Mineral Deposit was a Simple Structure. It looked like a combination of Gigantic Warehouse and a Gigantic Factory. Although it wasn't as big as the Factory in the Center of the Base, It was still Bigger than the Fusion Reactor. Rogue took a look at the Mineral Deposit and saw that it was complete. She then began looking at the Droids within the Mineral Deposit and found many types of Droids. The Droid was Miner Droids, but they were also classified into many different groups. They were quite simple to understanding as they were more or less the same as the Builder Droids from the Factory. With this in mind, Rogue looked at the droids and began building the droids she needed.

The Miner Droids were divided into Three Groups and Three Classifications. The Three Groups were the Aqua, Earth, and Cosmo. It was quite simple to understand from their words. The Aqua Miner Droids take care of anything to mine under liquid substance. The Earth Miner Droid was a Normal Miner Droid meant for Earth Excavation. The Cosmo Miner Droid were Droids that mined Asteroids or Space Rocks of any size. That was the simple explanation of the Three Groups, but what about the Three Classifications?

The Three Classifications were also simple to explain. The Three Classifications were Light, Main, and Heavy. It was the same as the Worker Droids. The Light Miner Droids were Small, Fast, and Agile. The Main Miner Droids were the Normal Droids of each group. The Heavy Miner Droids were Big, Slow, and can do many things. These were the Three Classifications and the Three Groups of the Miner Droids.

"I should construct 200 Light Earth Miner Droids, 100 Main Earth Miner Droids, and 25 Heavy Miner Droids. That should be enough for the First Batch of Miners." Rogue said as the construction of Droids began. She looked again at the Map and noticed that the Mineral Deposit was part of the Northeastern Area. It seemed that she needed to classify the Areas so that the Structures wouldn't be a mess. Rogue then looked at the Mountains in the North. It would take a while for the Miner Droids to reach that area. She needed to find a Route and send Attack Drones to defend them.

With this in her mind, Rogue had an Idea. 'I should come with them...' It was a simple idea, and she also wanted to see what kind of Planet she was on personally. She already had information about the Planet, but Technical and Practical Experience was better than theoretical Experience. Such words got proven during the Battle between her and the Monster. It took her many years to kill all of them in the Virtual World. She needed to use every part of her body against the Monster to survive and kill them.

"Typhon, Send me 10 Attack Drones. I will start an Expedition in the North." Rogue ordered as Typhon's Monotone Voice replied. "Understood, Master..." After hearing Typhon's reply, Rogue exited the Main Bridge and heads back to the Elevator again. She really needed the Teleportation Gates, but according to Typhon. She needed the special material for her to construct the Teleportation Gates. The Materials, unfortunately, couldn't be found on this Planet, and she had no Materials for the Teleportation Gates within her Factory.

Rogue arrived at the Ground Floor and found many Worker Droids working. She calmly walked through them and exited the Factory. Looking around the Area, She found herself in the middle of a Wide Road. It was heading towards the Circular Roads that surround the Factory and the Monster Forges. She didn't know if she had to walk 100 Kilometers to the North, but she then saw an Attack Drone hovering behind her. "Did Typhon sent you?" Rogue asked as one of the Cameras on the Attack Drone nodded. Rogue sighed and held onto a smallholding port.

Rogue never thought that she would be flying like this, but the World works in mysterious ways. The Attack Drone then flew above the skies and began heading towards the Northern Mineral Deposit. Rouge looked down and saw the Ground far away from her. She would fall if she stopped holding in the Port. She wondered if she would die, but she didn't want to test it. The Travel continued as the Attack Drone went through the Heavens at a Fast Speed.

Many Attack Drones then flew with it. There were Ten Attack Drones in the Skies, and all of them were heading towards the North. After a while of holding onto the Attack Drone, All of them finally reached the Mineral Deposit. It was big as expected, and the Miner Droids were already complete. The Attack Drone levitated above ground, and Rogue stopped holding onto the port. She fell and landed on the ground. She was wearing her Little General's Uniform.

The whole situation was strange. There was a Little Girl in the Middle of Gigantic Robots that could turn her into mincemeat. It was something that wasn't common or uncommon. It was probably rare for a situation like this to happen. She then looked at the Miner Droids as the Attack Drones levitated behind her. She stood in front of them and spoke with a calm but cold tone.

"We would have an Expedition to the North to find Minerals for our Base. All of you must understand that this is an Important Expedition for us. This will result in either giving our Base more Materials or coming back without anything to give. So do your base on mining Minerals." Rogue said as the silence slowly engulfed all of them. The Miner Droids began moving in strange movements while the Attack Drones were also having fun. 'That must be their battle cry Rogue thought while looking at all of them.

"Now, let us begin our plan and our strategies," Rogue said as the Miner Droids and the Attack Drones stopped their strange movements. They looked towards Rogue as if they got Frozen. It must be a signal that they were currently in a serious state. Seeing the Droids and Drones looking at her, Rogue began saying the plan. She didn't know why she had to do this, but it seemed that the Droids and Drones were looking forward to it.

'I guess they are the same as the Monsters, They are my subordinates, and I am their leader.' Rogue thought to herself as she began speaking about the Strategies. "I have chosen a Route for all of us to traverse into. The Attack Drones would protect the Area, and the Miner Droids would have to move in a Formation. The Heavy Miner Droids will be in the center as they are the ones that carry our heavy equipment. The Main Miner Droids will be after the Heavy Miner Droids and protect them when needed. The Light Miner Droids would be the outer shell of the Formation."

After the strategy talk, The Drones and Droids began analyzing the Plan. The Full Detail of the Plan got given by Typhon after Rogue finish talking about the strategies. The Droids and Drones finished their jobs and began their Warcry, which had no sound. Rogue looking at them, nodded in satisfaction as the First Expedition of the Base began. It would be the Rogue's First Time meeting the exotic nature of the world around her.

As Expedition Started and the Formation Strategy began. Rogue stood on top of a Heavy Miner Droid. The Heavy Miner Droid was quite Big as it was probably 100 Meters Long. It was a Giant Vehicle, but since it carried Heavy Machinery. It was clear that they needed to be big. There were 25 of them within the Formation. They looked like an army marching towards the North.

They drove towards the North and left the Road Network created by Rogue. They were in the Wilderness of the Northern Region. Rogue stood on top of the Heavy Miner Droid without any reaction. The Trees, Plants, and many things were quite the same but a bit different. They still haven't met any natural creatures born in this World, but it was probably because this was under the Attack Drones' protection and surveillance.

A Dozen hours passed since the start of the Expedition.

While looking around the area around the Formation, Rogue sometimes wondered what happened to the Monsters she set to collect Biomass. Where they still looking around for Biomass and Extracting it? The Guess was probably correct as it was low for them to find something that could match them. She shook her head and noticed the Attack Drones heading towards one area.

"Is there any problem?" Rogue asked as she was curious about what the Attack Drones were doing. Information got sent within her mind, and she furrowed her eyebrows after seeing it. 'A Horde of Creatures are attacking us.' Rogue thought to herself and looked in the direction where the Creatures were coming from. She never expected that something would have the guts to attack the Expedition Forces.

'How far are we from the Base?' Rogue asked Typhon within her mind. It was fortunate that they were connected. It would help in solving problems, and the two of them could talk without anyone noticing it. 'Master, The Expedition Force is currently 395 Kilometers away from the Road Network and the Influence of the Base.' Rogue nodded after hearing what Typhon said.

"Order the Attack Drones to destroy the Enemy Force with their Full Power. I want this Warning to be sent all over the Area." Rogue ordered with a cold tone. The Attack Drones in the distance then began firing their Rail Machineguns which penetrated the enemies without any problems. Missiles were then launched, which created Giant Fireballs that can be seen from the Expedition Forces.

"Master, The Horde of Creatures are retreating, but it seemed that more creatures are heading towards us from the Northern Direction." Typhon gave Rogue more information, and the problems began stacking on each other. Rogue sighed after hearing the next problem. She shook her head and ordered. "Exterminate Them..." She said simple words, and the Extermination of the Creatures began.

"This really is pissing me off... But I wonder what my Monster Army is doing?" Rogue asked herself as she was curious about her Army. She could easily talk to them using Hivemind, but Exodus told her that he needed time with the Monster Army alone. She wondered what they were planning to do.

In the Southern Region, Flying Figures were surrounding a Gigantic Behemoth. They breathe Fire all over the Behemoth's body onto to found it impossible to burn. The Electromagnetic Machine Cannons began firing towards the Flying Figures, which created Thunderous Sounds that could break someone's eardrum. *BANG!!!* *BANG!!!* *BANG!!!* *BANG!!!*

The Flying Figures fell from the Sky and crashed landed on the Forest. The Gigantic Behemoth roared as 10 VanMonsters were surrounding it. They began to kill all the creatures on the ground as the Gigantic Behemoth's Tentacles began extracting the Biomass within them. It was Chaotic as the Gigantic Behemoth was piercing through the Southern Region.

The Gigantic Behemoth Fired its Electromagnetic Accelerated Cannon. It was pointing its Cannons towards the Mountains in the South. It fired and created a Thunderous Sound which created shockwaves on the Area around it. Some trees were bending on the other side while some plants got uprooted. *PANG!!!*

A Second Later, Bright Light appeared on the Mountains, and Shockwave formed around the Bright Light. A Few Seconds after the Bright Light, A Loud Sound echoed all around the Southern Region. *BOOM!!!* A Mushroom Cloud slowly appeared, and the Mountain that got hit by the Cannon disappeared from existence.

*For the Emperor!!!* *For the Emperor!!!* *For the Emperor!!!* *For the Emperor!!!*

The Monsters were having Warcries as their Chaos within the South continued.
