Nilbog army

"And Ellisburg?"

"I've got a number of plans to help save the world," I said.

The truth was that Nilbog's monsters had an advantage over my slimes. They were self conscious, but completely loyal to their master. Even if parts of me or all of me went unconscious, they'd continue following previous orders, and they were smart enough that they could serve as shock troops. I was increasing their numbers by the moment on a different world, harvesting massive amounts of plant matter on the plant world using some of my creatures and funneling them to my brood mothers.

The combat was good training for my creatures, and it gathered enough material that I didn't have to kill people or stray pets. If I could gain an insect control ability, I might be able to denude entire cities of their pest problems while gathering even more matter. Swarm was still in New York city, and I hadn't had time to see if I could convince him to let me copy a limited version of his power.

As many creatures as we had, there were even more cities in the world. Ellisburg itself had only had population of around thirty five hundred before Nilbog had gotten to it. He'd had thirty five thousand creatures, but many of them had been smaller than human, and he'd been limited by the biomass he could get in town. I only had thirty five hundred creatures, each as tough as Crawler, but there were over four thousand cities in the world with a population of over 100,000.
