In position

After hearing everyone out, Jace said with despair on his face, "We can't win. We can't win!!!"

"How... how are we supposed to defeat enemies like these!"

Hearing Jace's words, the people around him were overcome with grief as well. The terror inspired by the Colossal Titans left them feeling that they could only spend the rest of their lives in this filthy, miserable Prisoner Camp.

"Mom, I want to go home!!"

"God, please forgive me."

"Hahaha!! None of this is real! Hahaha!!!"

For a time, the entire camp rang with cries for parents and pleas for the gods' forgiveness. Some people had even been frightened into mental collapse.

Everyone who saw these terrifying Colossal Titans felt that they no longer had a future.

After Eren controlled the Colossal Titans into position, he used the Coordinate to notify all the soldiers guarding the Prisoner Camp to guard the prisoners with these Colossal Titans as their central points.

Eren also issued an order to the Colossal Titans through the Coordinate, since they stood sixty meters tall and remained on duty twenty-four hours a day, without resting or blinking.

Eren had these Colossal Titans stand guard in the Prisoner Camp. Anyone in the camp who went beyond a certain boundary would be stomped to death by them.

From then on, Eren would also directly control the Colossal Titans to turn anyone who could not keep up with the army's marching pace into fertilizer to nourish the earth.

To prevent Dothraki soldiers from being accidentally harmed while patrolling inside or delivering food, Eren would specifically have the soldiers wear standardized uniforms and follow planned routes, making the Colossal Titans give way to those dressed alike and following the designated routes.

After all, if they could not recognize people, they would distinguish them by standardized clothing and established routes instead.

Those who came out along the routes would undergo a handover with the people receiving them, preventing prisoners from killing soldiers and sneaking out of the camp.

Anyone who did not wear the designated clothing and follow the established routes would be stomped into pulp by the Colossal Titans.

Since they had not yet reached Pentos, Eren planned to first use these Colossal Titans as a security perimeter around the Prisoner Camp.

Once they reached Pentos, he would have these Colossal Titans form a circle and serve as the foundation of the inner city walls.

Eren brought the fifteen-meter-class Crawling Giants back to camp, freeing up the Human Giants and using the Crawling Giants as manpower to haul supplies.

After several battles against the slave masters, the number of Human Giants had increased to around six hundred.

Eren turned the severely wounded who had not yet died but would not survive until the next day into Pure Titans.

Some of the severely wounded could still recover despite their grave injuries, and Eren did not turn them into Giants. These were all living members of the population. Letting them live and have more children for the empire, increasing the birth rate, would also be a considerable contribution.

As for those Human Giants, Eren planned to assign one hundred Pure Titans specifically to guard beside the Church of the Giants, protecting the church and serving as a display of miracles.

Eren arranged for the remaining Pure Titans to guard and roam around his tent and the nearby Harem Corps he had selected.

To avoid any impropriety, Eren assigned female Dothraki Warriors to guard his tent and the nearby Harem Corps.

Even Modun, who had previously guarded Eren's immediate surroundings, was assigned to a more remote location, away from Eren's tent and the Harem Corps.

After all, there were too many people in the Harem Corps. Even if Eren could not bestow his favors equally, he could not allow anyone else to cuckold him.

Three days later.

Over those three days, the four great generals under Eren followed his orders, breaking up the warriors captured from Drogo's Khalasar as required,

and incorporating them into the Four Great Legions in turn. As for the elderly, weak, women, and children Eren had later captured from Drogo's Khalasar, most of them were children.

Since all Dothraki were fighters, aside from the children, the elderly, weak, women, and children consisted of old people and abducted women.

There was little that needed saying about the elderly. They were all warriors who had survived the battlefield, and their combat experience was itself a treasure. Eren would instruct these old people to stay and teach the children martial skills and combat experience.

As for the children among them, Eren gathered them all together to train alongside the children of his own empire.

These children were still young. Giving them a patriotic education while they were still little would make them regard themselves as part of the empire from the heart in the future.

Once these children grew up, they would become a source of strength for the Dothraki Empire and serve as its foundation.

Eren assigned the older women and dependents, along with the abducted women, to the church to help everyone there with their work.

Eren instructed the Mother Superior to instill faith in the Titan God in these people in their daily lives, or frequently take them to preach in the Prisoner Camp, deepening their faith.

They would gradually become believers in the New Gods. After a year, once their faith had grown firmer still, those among them who were willing and had excelled in all areas during training could choose to remain in the church as nuns.

As the Dothraki Empire was established and its territory expanded, more nuns and missionaries would inevitably be needed to spread the faith.

Eren also envisioned that, in the future, every city within the Dothraki Empire would be required to establish a church dedicated to the Titan God, and all faiths other than that of the Titan God would be abolished.

Of course, abolishing faith in the Old Gods could not be rushed. For Old Gods with clear miracles, such as the Lord of Light, the Cold God, and the Drowned God, the pace of abolition could be slowed appropriately.

After all, Eren did not yet want to clash with them before he had fully developed his strength. He would act against them once he could bring them under his control.

At noon, inside Eren's tent.

Eren sat in the seat of honor, listening to the commanders of his four great legions report the results of the incorporation.

"Your Majesty, all the losses suffered by our respective units have now been replenished."

Modun reported the current situation to Eren with a solemn expression.

After Modun finished, Link continued, "Your Majesty, the remaining troops have also been handed over to Rolo, with him serving as regiment commander."

"As for the deputy regiment commander, I appointed one of the battalion commanders who previously served under me. His name is Tiko, and he is my trusted subordinate."

After hearing the two of them, Eren nodded and said, "Link, since I entrusted this task to you, I won't question your appointments. I hope you can dedicate your heart to the empire even better in the future!"

Hearing this, Link immediately rose, stood straight, and saluted Eren, saying loudly, "I will devote myself even more wholeheartedly to the empire and dedicate my heart to it!!!"

Eren could not help applauding when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Very good, Link. Now that is a fine man of my empire!"

After saying this, Eren rose from his seat, swept his right hand forward, and pointed toward the entrance of the tent as he declared with high spirits:

"Now that everything is in position, the army will set out first thing tomorrow morning and head for Pentos along the previously planned route!!!"
