[x] You may need to start looking for ways to beef up your normal forces, the underworld has nothing if not military might to spare.
Mooks are a important part of a successful empire, well that overwelming power but we already have that part.

Recruitment Options
[x] Army Building and you.
It's pretty clear that you're going to need to beef up your forces before you get involved in any of this nonsense.
Hmmmm from your own personal experiences you can think up about four different ways you can increase your force numbers.
The first and obvious is that you can just start creating more light elementals. It will take quite a bit of energy and you'll be weaker for a while after doing so but you'll at least have a very clear idea of what to expect from the soldiers you'll get.
The next option is to put the industry you have in the realm of light to use and start manufacturing some constructs to help your forces out. They'll be lesser in number then normal forces but they'll be more potent than average and should hopefully come as a surprise to hostile factions.
The third option is to try and recruit other elemental types. Pretty much all elemental hold at least a mild dislike of the divine by this point and you are the strongest living elemental currently in existence. The divides between the different elements have long since broken down it may be time to try and get them to band together.
Finally you can uplift worthy humans to fill out your forces. It's time consuming but saves on energy and the forces created in process are extremely potent and loyal for the effort put in, on top of being more intelligent than average.
Now…which one do you do?
[x] Create more light elementals.

I figure we don't need to be personally present for our workforce to start churning out troops, so we can turn our personal attention to the task of scouting out some promising humans to try and recruit into our ranks.

Almost forgot.
Voting closed Uplifting Humans and Constructs both win.
I don't usually allow more then one option unless I specify that more then one option can be chosen but I'll make an exception today.
Anyway a good portion of the construct half of the update is done but my work days are long enough that I probably won't be able to get a real update out till the weekend.

[x] Constructs and uplifted humans
"So how are the constructs doing?" You ask to Crata who has taken over as your second in command in Rallac's absence.
The living mechanical fortress turns to face you absolutely dwarfing you physically in spite of the massive power advantage you have over it. "Very well master Prismate. I have a feeling you will like some of the constructs now in production."
"Ok then. Can I get sneak peek or do you want to make a surprise?' you ask jokingly.
"Of course you can." Crata replies completely missing the joke., "I will call them fourth now."
In mere moments a strange construct that looks like a giant crossbow on tank treads move forward. "Our first new construct is the Messenger, a powerful war engine that excels against single targets."
Cool maybe now you'll have an easier time getting those dirty Underworld Crawlers off your crystal lawn! Honestly the forces of evil these days have no respect for other people property!
As you muse of how everyone in the past was better in every conceivable way the next construct enters your sight.
This one looks like a golden suit of armor holding a giant sword. "The Golden armor is a powerful close combatant that reflects hostile ranged shots back at the shooter."
Eh you suppose it gets points for the nifty ability and the bling but it's much weaker than the other one in your opinion.
The final construct is…a flying boombox being held aloof by a pair of get engines. "The Doombox is a flying construct that can shoot either a powerful blast of sound or three rings of energy; it is also good to have at parties."
This…this…this…has to be the greatest thing ever conceived in the entirety of existence!
Well ok after sunglasses. being able to look at things without making them explode is a nice thing to have.
"Prismate?" Crata asks you concerned "You haven't said a thing for over ten minutes…are you well?"
"Yes." You reply flatly "Yes I am."
XXXXXX
You are Mallac a wondering fighter and the former head of the miltia of a now destroyed village.
Things have been hard not just fir yourself but for humanity as a whole throughout the centuries.
The army of the underworld frequently terrorizes and slaughters small villages such as the one you were born in, and very few of the 'gods' that most people like to worship seem to do much about it, and even when those 'gods' do take action it's often only for the really big invasions. In fact most of the gods seem more interested in destroying human cities themselves then in fighting the Underworld, or cleaning up the many messes that they themselves have caused over the year.
Your village was one of the few places that hadn't changed to titan worship when the elementals fell out of power, and in turn hadn't switched to god worship when the titans themselves lost they're influence.
Getting ruined by high powers is the ultimate fate of any human, you know this intrinsically but some part of you can't help but rail at the injustice of it all.
If you could do something…anything at all to at least slow down the underworlds raids you would take that offer in the a heartbeat.
But you cannot.
So instead you wonder from village to village, haunted by the past and unable to truly settle down for variety of reasons.
When did things go so wrong?
Maybe if you just gave up? Maybe if you stopped hope for something better you'd finally be free from the crushing disappointment that's hounded you all your life? It wouldn't be difficult in the slightest.
…no
If you gave up now you'd never be able to live with yourself.
The world might be terrible, the people might be horrible, and the gods might be worse, but you're not going to let that beat you down!
"Well well." A kindly, almost grandfatherly voice says from behind you. "I have to say I'm impressed by your spirit."
You immediately turn around to see...a figure you'd never thought you'd lay eyes on.
Standing right across from your is the form of Prismate the only remaining elemental lord and the head of the army of light.
"Hello young lady." The elemental elder walks up to you. "Can you spare a moment of your time?"
"Spare a moment of my time?" You ask in confusion. "You're a big elemental lord I should be asking you that."
"Hahehehehehehe." Prismate laughs as if you'd just told him a funny joke. "No need to worry about my time. Trust me I've got plenty of it left."
You remain silent as the light elemental calms from his laughter.
"Well I guess I'll take your answer as a yes." He says as meets your eyes with his strange black shaded glasses. "Now you see young Mallac I've come here with a job offer."
"A job offer?" You raise an eyebrow. You don't even question the fact that he knows your name, as such a thing is well within the perview of such mighty beings. "What could a being as powerful as you want with a human like me? We aren't worth all that much when it comes to the games of the divine."
"You'd be surprised at what a human can do." Prismate voice is soft, much like that of your grandfather before your village feel. "Especially one with a knack for justice like yours."
"So what do you want me to do?" You question.
"Simple." He outs his spectral hands behind his back. "I was wondering you would be willing to join up with the army of light. We could use someone with a motivation like yours, and I'd be more than willing to power you up during your service."
Fight for the army of light?
You…your both terrified and intrigued by this offer. On one hand you are well aware of the extreme danger that being a member of the army of light would bring. On the other hand this could be your chance to do actual good in the world, if you could save even one village from suffering the same fate yours did shouldn't you want to take that chance?
Prismate seems to notice your hesitation. "You cannot decide immediately then that is fine, and do not feel like you have to join up. I can promise you that even if you don't take this offer this won't be your first chance to do well for yourself, or even your first chance to do good in the world."
Prismate then hands you a strange looking whistle. "Just use this when you have your answer, I trust you to do what you think is beast, even if it is not to my preference."
His words said Prismate disappears in a flash of light.
…you have a lot to think about.
XXXXXX
In the end Mallac accepted you offer joining your forces as the command of the other uplifted humans and transformed human souls that had bolstered you forces.
Good thing two because Viridi has just made her move, dropping a reset bomb on a major human city.
What do you do?
[x] Send the Hydra down and have him wipe that blasted forest of all life, if she wants to kill an entire species for following her own survival of the fittest mentality then you're going to make sure she gains nothing from the effort.
[x] Viridi's left her realm exposed, you might not yet know the location of the Reset Bomb Factorys but an angry Crata knocking on her doorstep is sure to make her think this little stunt through.
[x] Virid's lessor forces are sure to cause havoc even without the reset bombs, deploy the army of light in force to make sure they stay on the defensive.
[x] Just blow the stupid reset bomb forest up, it'll take quite a bit of energy but it'll give you pleny of catharsis for comparatively little effort.
OOC: Don't worry about your forces guarding a the Lunar Sanctum even if you go all out in your fight with Viridi the Army of Light and Forces of Nature there will still be in an effective truce.

@Charon, @burningclaw2 I think this sound better as a threat what do you think?
