He then moved from his chair and went to the window. He looked to that outstretched young land that he owned. He wanted to really transform it to a mighty empire.
If he wanted to do so, he can’t always make this place depend entirely on him. He still needed to go back to his world and finish his unfinished business. He still had Oya there.
He decided he must train this young lady to be more aggressive. She must be more courageous. She must be daring.
“Tell me; is there a way to buy resources from somewhere nearby?”
“The nearest system town is miles away from here. The road isn’t established yet and there are a lot of dangers like those road robbers and different types of monsters. So our best option is to seek these resources at the market.”
“The market… hmmm… let’s build one now.”
“As you wish my lord, but we will run out of wood by then.”
Ibro turned to look at her. If he wanted to train her then he must be patient. He smiled and gestured her to stand straight again then he said slowly:
“This problem will be solved by me. I want you to do two important tasks now. First, build this market. Second, I want you to choose some helpers. Establish a registry department.
This department must collect all the info of the new villagers. Any villager with PA of A grade or above must be grouped in separate records. Then I want you to choose some of them with civil affairs management to work at a human resources department.
This department will be responsible for assigning people to their jobs. Select who will be responsible for this department very wisely. Tell them to create two big groups of those special people with PA higher than A grade.
One group of special civilian specialties and the other group will have the rest. I will establish a war department which I will assign those people with no civilian specialties to it.
We will build barracks and then we will start training our army. You will establish another department called ‘resources department’.
This department will be responsible for handling resources and managing resources projects like farmlands, logging camps and etc. finally you will create a construction department which will be responsible for handling all constructions in my village.
You have over 10k new people, so use them wisely.”
Mony looked amazed towards Ibro. She was about to say this style was a managing layout of a town, not a beginning village like theirs, but she didn’t say anything.
She knew that this organization was good if it was done smoothly. The shortcomings of this were the lack of big talents and experienced personnel to manage all these departments.
There would be many inevitable mistakes. For this organizational pattern to work efficiently, they needed a huge pool of population and many outstanding talents.
When she was about to voice these points, she saw the look on Ibro’s face. He was like a person who knew well what he was talking about. In fact, Ibro knew the limitations of this model, but he decided to choose it.
The population problem he will solve personally. He hoped he would find many outstanding talents in these people. If he didn’t find enough, then it’s alright.
His village was still so small that a few mistakes wouldn’t really negatively affect it. He then motioned to her to leave. She had a long work to do and he also had his. He first decided to use his five options to draw unique features for his village.
“I choose to draw five unique features for my village.”
“Player has the right to draw five random unique features for his village. The five features are selected and applied immediately. Player can check them in his village panel.”
Ibro checked at once his village panel to feel really satisfied:
“Village unique features: No 5 features.
1. Land of war: the village managed to claim the underground territory in a record time. Any soldier under the banner of this village or any affiliate villages in the future will have his PA rise by one grade.
Also, the possibility to obtain suitable villagers to be soldiers will rise by 100%. Effective immediately and permanently.
2. Land of water: the village built two ports on its first day. Any port under the banner of this village or any affiliate villages in the future will have its stats raised by 100%. Village gained the unique construction tree of Krofan ships.
3. Land of people: the village managed to gain over 10k villagers in just two days. It’s a new record. Any villager under the banner of this village or any affiliate villages in the future will have his PA raised by one grade if he was working in an official position.
The attraction of war refugees will increase by 500%. Effective immediately and permanently.
4. Land of craftsmen: the village managed to build one logging camp, one quarry camp, and one port in its first day.
Any craftsman under the banner of this village or any affiliate villages in the future will have a higher possibility to upgrade his career to the next rank. The percentage of obtaining special professions will increase by 300%. Effective immediately and permanently.
5. Land of the mighty lord: the lord had faced a whole monster army alone and conquered them. Any place that had the banner of this lord will have a deterring effect on all armies that tried to attack these lord territories.
Any enemy will lose 50% of its morale and has his stats decreased by 25%. The number of this lord’s army would be an irrelevant factor in any battle. Even a single man can best an army. This is the mighty lord territory and this is the mighty lord people. Effective immediately and permanently.”
He was surprised that these unique features were related to his village achievements in this short period. He regretted using this chance.
If he knew this trick, he would wait till his village got stronger. He might have obtained more powerful bonuses. He looked at these features; they were all rounded bonuses to his village.
He also noted the new term on his ears ‘affiliate villages’. Could he establish more villages? But how? He decided to ask Mony later, she might know a way to gain more village steles.
He then shifted his attention towards his biggest trophy from this war. He went to the largest place in his manor, which was the back garden. He retrieved one of the boxes. Once that box appeared, it nearly took all the space in this garden.
This box was really huge. First Ibro counted the huge wealth in it. There were 10k gold coins and a lot of copper and silver coins. In Rioneed, each gold coin equals 1000 silver coins and one silver coin equals 1000 copper coins.
Here, he found out that each 100 copper coins made 1 silver coin. Each gold coin was made from 100 silver coins. 10k gold coins and similar amounts made of copper and silver coins made him rich.
This was just the first box. He then checked the scrolls section next to the coins. He took one of them and opened it. It wasn’t a scroll; it was a layout for a building. Ibro looked at all this big number of scrolls.
There were no less than 20 building layouts in this box. Ibro didn’t check them all; he just took them and put them in a corner. He would check them with Mony later.
He then looked to the weapon section with eagerness. He needed a stronger sword than what he had right now. For his disappointment, all these weapons were white grade.
They also were specified to his army soldiers and weren’t suitable for players. From where would he then get a decent sword? The number of weapons, armors, shields, and helmets here were enough to arm 100 men squad easily.
That meant he could arm 1000 soldiers with these 10 boxes armory. He then reached the mixed section that was full of many different items.
He checked one of these strange flasks and checked it. It was like an HP recovery potion, but he could recover half of his HP immediately. That was a good potion.
There were over 100 of them. He stored them all in his Inventory. Then he stored all the ore in this box in the dimensional bag. Any ore he would get, he would put them in his bag.
He would turn all the ores he could find into runes. He then checked the high-grade scrolls. When he checked them, a new world opened in front of Ibro.
Each scroll was a layout of either a war formation, a training diagram for civilian workers or some high-end buildings. This box contained one layout high-end building called “Movable Military Camp building”.
it also contained one war formation that was suited for cavalries and one training diagram meant for blacksmiths. Ibro felt excited. These three scrolls were like three gems to him.
The rest of the scrolls were normal scrolls. He stored these scrolls in the Inventory and kept the layout of the movable training camp in the corner.
He would love to start building this camp as soon as possible. What remained at the chest were some small rounded items. He held one of them to feel his blood boiled.
“Archer cavalry summon token: can be used to summon 10 archer cavalry squad to join your village.”
There were 10 small tokens in this chest. That meant he now obtained 100 archer cavalry squad.
He had another nine chests. Would there be other tokens like these? He was now very thrilled. War was really the main source of richness and power. Suddenly he moved this chest back in his Inventory and replaced it fast with the next chest.
He stored the coins and then moved straight to the last section. He repeated this process so many times. In the end, he got 50 archer cavalry tokens and 50 shield warriors’ tokens.
He now had another army he could use in battles. He also got the layout of many good buildings like stable and archery. But the main problem was that they required a lot of resources and that the village would be at standard village grade.
Hepatia was now a village under construction. Although he felt disappointed, he stored these layouts for later uses. These layouts would help him a lot later on.
He also had some replicas of some layouts. He didn’t intend to keep them in his Inventory. If he could replace them in the market with something he lacked, then he would be happier to do this trade.
His wealth reached 100k gold coins and another 100k gold coins of copper and silver coins. A hill of weapons and other arms was formed in this garden. There was also a section full of normal building layouts.
There were many replicas too so he took all those replicas to sell them or trade them with other useful things. After he finished his work he waited for a short time till Mony came back with many paper scrolls in her hands.
When she entered the garden she felt the shock of these new things that weren’t there before. Ibro saw here astonishment and smiled as he explained:
“All these things are found in the treasure chests of the monsters I killed before.”
“My lord is really mighty. You alone managed to kill all these monsters.”
He laughed as he was in a very good mood right now.
“I was able to kill them because their levels were really weak. If they were stronger I would have faced more difficulties in killing them.”
“So I suggest to my lord you postpone any further quests till you train a more powerful army to help you.”
Ibro smiles and pointed to these arms and said:
“These are enough to arm 1000 soldiers completely. They are all melee class weapons. There are many layout buildings that we can build in this stage of our village like the sewer system, the agricultural irrigation system, and library building.
These are easy to build and must have a type of buildings.”
“My lord’s luck is huge to be able to get all of these in the early stage of the game.”
“Enough with this praise already. Tell me, did you finish the tasks I gave to you?”
She handed the scrolls to him and said politely:
“The market needed more hours to finish. I arranged the different departments as you instructed. These are the basic info of those who held the main positions in these new departments.”
“What about the registry of new people?”
“That would take some time, as the number of people is huge. We also face a food problem as the number of villagers increases rapidly. Our food stocks wouldn’t be enough for tomorrow.”
Ibro smiled and said:
“Don’t worry, after the finish of the market I would buy all that we lack from it.”
“That’s good. Now there is a meal in the main meeting hall for you my lord.”
Ibro felt weird. He didn’t get used to this normal type of life in the middle of all this. He followed Mony to find a table that was put in the middle of the main meeting hall. On this table, there were many dishes filled with a lot of different types of food.
