Green intended to develop a combination of Undead and Mecha. But equipping tens of thousands of Skeleton Soldiers and Kobold Zombies with Mecha would not be enough. The plan involved a host of complicated problems, and without the Mist World and the Undead Empire, he would not even have dared consider it.
