Hey guys Doctor huh here I'm back after a refreshing hiatus I have some free time going into the Christmas season so I think I will get back to work. I have this Arc set up and planned now I just need to flesh it out. As always I am looking for beta's to help me refine this work

Now with that out of the way lets get restarted FOR LOOOOOT

Despite the prank on the Henchlady the empire was flourishing. Heavens peak was fully converted and was busy acting as the empire's new capital. Most importantly he converted the old heroes' guild into the Henchman guild. Surprisingly the Henchman guild got a lot of volunteers from adventurers who were oppressed by the past regimes rule. Here he got try out his mass produced henchman gauntlets

The mass gauntlets where scaled down versions of Jeanne's with a 10 minion horde limit and magical aid. They also could use the Thu'um … partly it seemed like shouting took more effort than it did for Jeanne, and finally they were all hooked into the tower thought network Grey and blue operators manned the thought network connecting all henchmen to the tower heart and to him.

The Reclaimed lands where rebuilding nicely and the infrastructure were working well so Dov turned his evil sights abroad. He did some research the dwarves had sealed there lands off completely so neither he nor the gods could reach them for the moment ( he was disappointed having seen the dewmer ruins he often wondered what kind of people would live there… and he wanted to make dwarven steam centurions seriously who could resist making giant death machines!?) The lands of the desert they had no concrete data about and they had no tower gates open over there so that left Evernight

Dov smiled at the irony the elves at his world where uppity assholes and here he had a chance for some partial revenge. "Gnarl how's the Tower gate prep work coming" The harried Minion popped up from behind a magical pylon "almost done sire, you should be teleported to the main island, I should warn you though the gate is still unstable so you can only probable bring your own horde." The overlord nodded "Good, I want the portal stabilized quickly though the sooner we have a good foothold in Evernight the sooner I can enslave the elves" the Overlord sneered a bit at the last word he was maybe a little racist but to be fair most of the pointy ears he met where either Thalmor of fallmer both of which tried to kill him on sight.

Gnarl turned and smiled as he put the final touches on the portal. This Overlord was going to be one of the Best ( or worst depending if you were with him or not) he already set up a working infrastructure and was using Overlordic powers and ways never before conceived! The first would be proud to see his mantel worn so well the ancient minion thought to himself.

"Portals done master " "Excellent Gnarl, Jeanne you are in charge when I leave, I want the Dark legion ready to go once we secure a stable connection" Gnarl and Jeanne bowed "of course lord/Boss" they said simultaneously. Dov took a second to gather himself then stepped though the portal to a land unknown.

A flash of blue light illuminated the beach and Dov emerged. He quickly took stock of the land around him. He was on a beach the sea behind him in front was a lush green forest filled with strange trees that he was not familiar with. a smell reached Dov's nose he took a deep sniff it took him a moment to place it because of strangeness of the forest but he recognized it the smell of massive fire magic he waved his hand and summoned his horde with more than the usual Reds and followed the smell towards its source ( damn his curiosity.)

'Gnarl to Overlord can you re… EVIL DAMN IT STOP DOING THAT…. Sorry master I swear I thought trained them better than this' 'Focus Gnarl did I land on the right Island' 'Yes your evilness this is the main island of Evernight'' 'someone else is here and they are burning down the forest' Jeanne's mental voice broke in 'that sounds like the priests of Finn lord of fire, I heard they were sent down there to clear the elves cover' 'ohy give me back that mike I'm the one who is supposed to brief the Overlord you wrench' the sound a brief struggle ensued before Dov decided he had enough 'Both of you shut up, Gnarl get her a second mic if she wants to comment to much, and Jeanne Treat Gnarl with more respect he is older than your great-great-great-so on and so forth grandfather, I do not want to have to replace him understand'

Having sorted out the problem of the home front Dov continued his march towards the fire green minions in front scouting for their nosier cousins and Overlord. The smell of smoke and flame grew with every single step. Whine he reached the top of a hill Dov's spotted the fire starters the priests where outfitted in red armor and spewed strange flames from their hands. The fire itself was strange as if it was not fire at all but something else…

Dov sighed and gathered his minions and marched down the slope towards the camp. He was noticed by the camps sentries who blew a war horn. At once all the priests and there escorts sprinted back to the camp they arrived there minutes before Dov did .

Finally reaching the camp Dov was greeted by a small army facing him. "Yeah we all know how this is going to go, let's get this over with" Dov deadpanned then the battle began Dov sent his browns headlong with half of his reds among them to absorb the flames his greens he sent around the side .

The Browns met the priest guards and began pushing them almost immediately it was clear the elite Browns where far superior to the humans. That was until the priests fired there first salvo ,brilliant fire spells where slung forth and despite the best effort of the reds they decimated the Browns in a fierce explosion Dov cursed and charged forward to allow the Blues time to resurrect the fallen minions

Dov took aim at the center of the formation of priests and guards and shouted "Fus Ro Dah" the priests threw up a shield of some sort that deflected his shout. Unfortunately for them said shield did not stop the pissed off overlord from charging into the middle of their guards and butcher them with his massive hammer.

Dov jumped back as one of the priest threw a Dark fire ball where he was standing Dov felt the flames and felt sick those flames where not natural they felt … wrong like they polluted with something. Repressing the urge the gag He siced the newly resurrected browns on the priests once more, Now the battle became a grand melee minions fell burred to ash guards and priests where stabbed and crushed all the while the blues tried to keep as many minions alive as possible and the red gathered around the Overlord protecting him as best as they could from the polluted flames.

Dov was beginning to tire these flames where bypassing his normal flame proofing wards and their very nature was poisonous to him, his luck changed when his greens finally managed to flank the priests taking them by surprise the Green Calvary proceed to stab them in the face until it stopped being funny. After cleaning up the rest of the priests Dov contacted the tower again 'Can someone please tell me what the Oblivion was that fire they were using is!' 'Ah boss isn't it just fire? 'Asked the confused Hench lady

Dov gestured to his partially melted armor not caring that they could not see it "Normal flames don't by pass all magical enchantments and melt arachanium and dragon bone, whatever that was that was not fire" he spoke as well as thought in his irritation his lack of information nearly got him fried! "it is called chaos fire oh Lord of Evil" came a voice from behind him. Dov whipped around Hammer at the ready and Browns rushing towards him.

Behind him where three elves in green leather armor most wielded two short swords of Hero make and a long bow. Most of them carried burn scars of some sort on their bodies the one who spoke was obviously there leader who wore a armor similar to the elfish armor of his home land except that some sections where a brittle black.

'Elves sire'! Exclaimed Gnarl 'Jeanne please smack him' after hearing the sound of a Gleefully chasten minion Dov glared at the Elves in front t of him. "who are you" he demanded eyes glowing white hot. Surprising Dov the elves knelt on the ground "we are the humble servants of the Overlord Your Evilness"

Dov followed the Elves back to their base camp mildly disappointed. It turns out that the pervious Overlord corrupted the Religious Leader of the Elves Queen Fae (he had almost forgotten about that side quest for some reason the mental list of quests he always had in his head was fuzzier than usual) and she in turn ordered the Elves to worship the Overlord. Since they had no other leader they could not refuse the Elves began to worship Evil. Ironically them worshiping the Evil was the only reason they were still alive most magical beings of light had been absorbed by the gods and there servants when they arrived in this world.

Dov had to admit he was impressed by their tenacity there capital had been destroyed by the Gods 2 decades ago and they still resisted as a population on the go in many mobile camps across the islands. Their entire population struck and vanished into the shadow of their forests for over two decades. It was only recently with the scorched earth policy of Flynn that they were being pushed further

"You brought me here for more than just the meet and great what do you really want" the leader of the elves an elf named Oberon ( for some reason Gnarr did a spit take) nodded "we wish we could add more to your empire my lord ,but as you can see" the elf gestured to the broken down camp most of the elves where thin and malnourished and much of their cloths and equipment where burned and scorched. "we are not in a position to be of much use" . Dov bit his lip in thought these elves had potential he had to admit they had been fighting a running battle against a superior foe for decades .they had much more experience than the majority of his forces

"I see and what would change that" "the queen of our people must be resurrected" Dov raised an eyebrow "come again?" Oberon shrugged "our powers are bound to the original goddesses of the earth one of us is blessed to act as a conduit for that power so that we might access it" "and Fae is that conduit I assume" Oberon nodded "indeed since she is not dead we still live but since she is not alive…." "your weaker then you should be" Dov hummed to himself and mentally shifted Fae's side quest to main quest status . "I will work on that, send word to your people to come to this island I should have a gate for the civilians to retreat though"

Oberon nodded relived that his people would not be facing the brunt of the Gods wrath anymore and went to spread the message. Dov concentrated 'Gnarl you got that gate set up yet?' 'yes lord gate's up and I have taken the liberty of dispatching several squads of Henchmen to guard it. And direct your new servants to temporary housing ' Dov Blinked a few times '….Impressive you set that up already?' 'The Hench lady is working on it as we speak master, the matter of resurrecting Lady Fae however is going to much more troublesome ' 'Yeah I guessed'

( Time skip 3 days )

Jeanne stepped though the gate tired but satisfied it had taken some work but she had set up the homestead for the elfish population in less than a week , way ahead of schedule. She smiled as she made her way up to her room things where looking up for the new empire. The reclaimed lands where flourishing the Henchmen guilds where experiencing a boom of local jobs and recruits filling the Boss's coffers with gold not that it stayed long, Dov poured most of the gold back into the Reclaimed lands improving it for a "better return on investment" however you wanted to phrase it Dov had done more for the people then the so called good guys.

As she finally made it up the stairs 'Note to self-ask boss to make some way to avoid these stairs' she saw Dov pacing back and forth muttering . Jenney flinched the last time he had gotten this fired up over a project she had nearly been crushed by a giant chicken or …. 'Oh gods please tell me it's not another one of THOSE experiments' she made her way quietly to her room if she could avoid being dragged into this. She used all the stealth skills she had learned from him 30 feet 20, almost there! "Ah Jenney you mind coming over here for a second I need some help with an experiment" Jenny froze sweating profusely 'Shit'

3 days Later Jeanne walks out of a magic portal after hacking her way through what looked like pink tentacles and covered in a sticky white fluid. Jeanne gave Dov a silent look of utter contempt before passing out dropping a strange pulsating Green object Dov picked it up gently "good work Hench lady, with the Gaea Heart we can move on" Dov sniffed and winced "for the love of Talos Someone take her to a bath I have not smelt anything this bad since that Muck world that madman's box dragged me into!"
