Chapter 472: The Grand Changes
Chapter 472: The Grand Changes
The work in the village started to take shape at night. I lived inside my mansion for the next couple of days while resting at night and eating all the delicious food the villagers cooked.
And that day I would take a full tour of all the villagers of mine. What caught my attention was the grandiose of the vampire lair and the large number of eggs laid there.
Those ladies were really hard workers and if they kept this pace then my grand army would be formed entirely of necromancers and vampires.
The necromancers took a place outside my village base. They went to the end of the mountainous path and started summoning their skeletons non-stop.
Yet with the lack of anything to fight inside the big plains away from my village, those skeletons were all weak and couldn't level up like before.
And that seemed one of the drawbacks of having peace.
The other drawback I had was the complaints of Dredly and Omad. The two kept visiting me and complaining about how their forces were bored and relaxed.
They got a point, I knew that, but I couldn't risk sending them off towards distant places right now. The second day I sent Jen far with her monster army.
The monster army was one of the main armies that took big losses during this expedition. They needed to replenish and I authorized her to take everyone and start amassing new blood to the army and expand it.
And such action seemed to stir up the couple, but I always kept them in check.
My system was silent and that meant he was preparing for something big.
With Jen I sent out Lisely and asked her to form out her army by fulfilling the system quests she had.
According to her words the system was acting weird after the end of the expedition. He started to issue a large number of missions, and she even said she had over a hundred now in her pocket.
But I also sent many vampires to track and keep her company. I also stressed for her to summon whatever race she got from any quest and send them to me all the time to submit.
And I waited for her to fulfill her promises or else I had no obligation to keep her alive.
And that was a direct order I gave to Jen before leaving.
As for the building inside the village, Jack and others did a great job in clearing literally everything and starting building the entire village from scratch.
This time they followed the planning of Dore who drew a big blueprint of the future version of my capital. And I was just excited about achieving it.
In this version he used the two mountainous edges on the side of my villages and let the raging river form the central line of the grand city.
And he used many awesome things including hanging bridges over the river and even grander bridges flying on top of the entire place, connecting the two edges together.
Per my approval, the teams started to work hard to prepare the buildings I requested. As for other futuristic visions then we all agreed to leave them after the others learn about the new knowledge.
And we also would have to wait until we have a technology breakthrough.
Cal and Anjor were deeply immersed in reading the large number of books they got from me. According to their words every time I met them, they promised me big things.
And I only waited for these two maniacs to finish and show me what they would achieve.
I waited like that for the entire five days. On the night of the fifth day, the building process of everything was finished.
And I announced for a grand meeting where everyone of my top leaders would be present, even from the army.
"We finished everything my lady and are ready to start," Jack led the civilian team to speak.
"Good," I nodded while sitting over my simple seat in my primitive mansion, "I want you to start from early morning. Everyone must enter the library and get a book. Start arranging people according to their preferences."
"What if we faced some without any field to choose?" Cal asked.
"Then you should distribute them at things they are good at," I said before turning to Meck, "for example giants can work best at mining and lumberjacking, while normal body citizens like humans can work as farmers. I believe the resources division will be the best place for those without talent."
They all nodded before Dredly asked:
"What about us?"
"You will have a very important mission next," I said before turning to Jack, "I want you to select places at the open plains down there and build big barracks for the soldiers to live and train."
"This" Omad face changed but I strictly said:
"Our empire won't always be at war. My soldiers need to learn how to deal with times of peace more than how to fight. This is your grand mission and you must succeed in it. I won't accept anything other than this. You should set a regime and training system for them to be in shape all the time."
The two faces went darker before I added:
"As you can see, we get new blood every day from Lisely and Jen. You two should be grateful your forces are growing without the need to lose any."
During the past days, Lisely kept her words and sent a large number of giant demons and other races to join me here. After I accepted their allegiance, I assigned them to these ungrateful two.
"We will do our best," Dredly tried to say something nice but I sternly glanced at them.
"You need to do better than that," I said, "after all I plan to build a large castle nearby to act as your base. If you can't handle this brief moment of peace then how could you handle the long periods after we crush all the regions around?"
"A castle?" Omad's eyes shone brightly before asking, "like the forts we crushed before?"
"Like and more grandiose than them," I firmly nodded, "so work hard to find a way to keep your men at bay and ready for war at any time. I don't want my enemies to come and find my soldiers relaxed and fat like pigs waiting for slaughter!"
The two slowly nodded with dark faces of my angry words, but they deserved it. I liked how the two acted in times of war, but right now I didn't like their attitude.
"If my lady allows me," suddenly Anjor said, "I can devise drill procedures and training programs for their armies."
"You can do that?" I turned to glance at him in surprise, "cool, then you will be helping these two."
"I won't disappoint my lady," he slowly said while the two had their faces recover and shine with bright smiles.
What two lazy giants they were!
