Ibro looked at their attributes and he was really astonished by Mony. He didn’t expect this cute lovely beautiful girl to be such a ferocious lady.
When he compared them he noticed that each one of them had four main attributes. The highest of these five was Mony as she was the highest in Personal Attitude.
Ibro didn’t know what that grading system meant regarding Personal Attitude, but he concluded from comparing Mony to the others that it played an important role in determining their stats.
The main positions were set in his mind, but he waited for a few moments till the 40 villagers arrived at him. They saluted Ibro as they kneeled, then they said in unison:
“We are at your service my lord.”
“Stand up everyone.”
After everyone stood up, Ibro started his speech saying:
“Today is a great day for all of us. It’s a special day for me. Today I established my village. This village will not be a normal village. I intend to turn it into a mighty empire.
I can’t do it on my own, so I need your help. I need all your efforts and power and creativity. I need everything you can give me so I can accomplish my dream. A mighty country needs mighty citizens.
I want your help not only for me but also for yourself. I assure you, every effort you make will be respected by my village. I will support every unique talent and push him more forward.
My village will support internal prosperity and industry and trade as it will support external wars. I’m no pacifist. I’m a real man who knows well how cruel our world is.
No empire was built without wars. I will strive hard at war like I will strive hard to raise my people’s prosperity. I hope we all build together a mighty empire, for our village future, for your future.”
Once Ibro finished his little speech he looked around and saw the effect of his speech on everyone around him. He was eager to know everyone’s Personal Attitude, but he had many more important missions to do.
So he decided to start organizing the general layout of his village as he said loudly:
“I will now appoint some helpers to help me. I hope you listen to their command and help them to build our village.
Mony, you are appointed as the village administrator and my deputy. You will get help from Oran and Aga.”
“As you command my lord.”
The three of them said in unison while Ibro nodded to them then he said:
“All of you will help them and do what they will tell you. Megedy, I appoint you as the general of our village army and my deputy too. Aras will be your deputy.”
“Thanks for your trust, my lord.”
Both of them knelt and replied to Ibro. He knew everyone would feel strange to these arrangements of his, but he already had a plan in his mind. He knew that steady development was the best but he didn’t have that luxury.
He set the goal of upgrading his village to the next level by the end of the first week. He needed to be ahead of others by miles. He was sure that after the end of the protection period the village would be subjected to cruel attacks and hard challenges.
He needed to raise everyone’s power in the shortest period of time. Once he finished his assignments he looked to Mony and pointed to her to follow him.
He moved towards the lord’s manor to enter it. It was a simple house made of wood. It was built on a big area. Ibro wasn’t interested in this as he turned and looked at Mony and said in a strong tone:
“I know we are strangers to each other, but I want you to know we are one team. In a team, if we don’t coordinate together, help each other and complete the other’s weaknesses then we will fail.
I trust you although I don’t know you well. You need to trust me even if you don’t know me yet. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, I understand you perfectly my lord.”
“Good. Now I will go on an expedition that may last for tomorrow. I need you to build as many buildings as possible. I want you to start gathering wood and start to reclaim lands and build farms on it. Try to balance everything out but I want you to rush things out.”
Mony seemed confused as she asked:
“Why do I feel you are trying to race time here, my lord? We have a 2 weeks protection period. That period is enough for steady development.”
“We really don’t have enough time as you think. We need to finish everything at a faster pace. I want you to understand that if you can do things faster for even one hour then do it.”
Although she felt her new lord was paranoid, she said in compliance:
“I will do my best, my lord. Why are you going outside? We still don’t have an army!”
Ibro smiled and answered her:
“Don’t worry about me, myself alone is stronger than a whole army.”
He didn’t wait for her to comment as he moved outside the manor. He was the lord here, so he could do whatever he wanted. Once he moved outside the manor, he motioned to his two only warriors in the village.
Megedy had a white sword with him while Aras held a white spear. When Ibro moved outside the village parameters with them, he knew he needed to find a way to obtain more powerful weapons.
He had four pieces of equipment on his body. He wanted his general at least to have a decent weapon or equipment. The area outside the village was formed of the rest of this wedged-shaped area.
He decided to scout all this area. Although the area seemed small before, when he decided to scout it carefully he found out how large it was.
The 25-kilometer area of the village was inside this wedge area. Ibro first led his two subordinates till they reached the outermost area of their territory.
Ibro wasn’t sure that the whole territory area was safe, so he decided to make his two subordinates scout them while he continued to check his rewards.
‘Dronil, keep an eye on them please.’
‘Don’t worry, there is no big enemy around here. The only big guys are away from my perception.’
Ibro felt relieved. He wanted to train his subordinates and not kill them. He checked the remaining rewards. There was a title, monster egg, and 2-second rate scrolls. He started with the scrolls:
“I want to draw two scrolls.”
“Player has the right to draw two scrolls of second rate randomly between AOE and Defense types. Scrolls have been selected. Player can check them in his Inventory.”
