7 KINGDOMS: conquest
219.port city
"You guys have arrived?" ask Noran.
"Yes sir." replied Sin.
The three walked in and sat on the available seats. Herton and Sin looked a little dull, but their expressions displayed spirit.
"How's it?" ask Noran.
"Master, we encountered many bandits along the way. There were no deaths, there were only injuries and everything was sorted out thanks to the master potion" Sin said.
Noran nodded and looked at Herton, "then with you?"
"Master, we've met 2 big bandit headquarters. They are 3 times more than us.
I used poison to weaken them and we can win the battle easily" Herton replied.
Both teams had no casualties, only injuries that had been healed using potions.
All three are still waiting for 4 other teams while talking about the next plan.
"Master, the northern and southern regions have been secured. We must move west and east, securing the whole Artenia landmass" Sin said.
"Securing Artenia is indeed important to us. However, there were many nobles, families and kingdoms around the two areas.
If we misstep, it is not impossible that they will take advantage and use us as laborers" Herton said.
Noran just kept quiet, listening to the two. He did not deny it, however, that a leader wanted to make his territory more advanced than ever.
"They will use us to clear the bandits before claiming the territory as theirs" Herton said.
"Yes, that's true. Then, what do you think of my master?" ask Sin.
"Make a port city and another city in the middle of the land. Connect the three cities and create a security line for Artenia.
This is the plan for now, we have to develop a prosperous city before increasing the military and the population" Noran said.
A large map spread out on the floor, Noran placed two pieces in a strategic place, ignoring the other white pieces that had been placed.
"It's a whitehorn, and we're going to open up a sea lane to simplify our future plans.
All small kingdoms will not be able to knock us down if these 3 cities are awakened" said Noran.
After the meeting, 3 others entered. They had a messy appearance, yet bright smiles were seen on each other's faces.
""" sir!"""
They lowered their heads and saluted Noran before sitting down.
Noran explained his plan to build two other cities. One in the middle of Artenia land, and one by the sea.
They nodded in agreement and agreed to Noran's plan immediately. Each had no doubts about Noran's plan.
"How many people did you find?" ask Noran.
"Master, each one of our groups brought 3,000 people with us. They were slaves and prisoners that the bandits had." Mike said.
"3000 for each team?" noran.
In other words, there were 15,000 new people that all of them brought. Not to mention added to the person who successfully freed Noran, there were 20,000 people.
"20,000 people huh?" thought Noran.
"All right, get some rest for tonight. We will carry out the next stage tomorrow" Noran said.
They nodded and left from the tent, heading to each other to rest.
After that, Noran came out to have the troops rest and set up a patrol team.
...
The next morning, everyone gathered to wait for their new assignment.
Noran appeared with his black armor, with a white robe behind him as well as fluttering black hair.
"We're going to start building a peaceful city for everyone. A prosperous port city is in the hands of you all.
Together, we will build a safe, peaceful, and prosperous home for everyone" Noran said.
Everyone was excited, building a new city they dreamed of.
After a short speech, Noran divided the task on everyone. Collection of wood and stone, formation of materials and lunch for all teams.
The goblins were in charge of cutting wood into wooden planks, the soldiers were in charge of cutting wood and moving wood.
The first construction was to make a home for everyone, then a sturdy wall that surrounded the city.
From a distance, there were many large birds flying in the sky. The Trolls have arrived, and Noran has a duty to them.
in order to build a strong and strong wall, Noran handed it over to the Trolls. They had collected a lot of rocks in the mountains and would use them as city wall materials.
Not only that, there are many other stones that can be used for construction materials.
Everyone was working hard and excited, the wind wolf and night dalcon were on duty to gather meat in the nearby forest.
Trevis even joined forces and hunted many monsters. Piles of grumpy bison monsters are seen forming small hills.
Each of them had a large body with delicious thick flesh. However, the difficulty of catching them made it expensive.
And now, there are many that are stacked together. This surprised everyone.
Can a white tiger be that strong? They knew that the white tiger would have a hard time dealing with one grumpy bison.
Yet...
There's a lot of piling up right now.. They feel confused.
Noran tells Trevis to stop hunting the bison. If Trevis keeps hunting, won't he kill all those grumpy bison?
The Trolls had arrived, with their huge and heavy bodies, making everyone tremble.
Moreover, they were also wearing iron plate armor, which made their appearance even more frightening.
"Ston, you've arrived. Join the others soon. Your job is to build a protective wall of the city" Noran said.
"Okay sir!" answer Ston.
A loud voice roared, leaving many people shocked and falling.
The Troll Monster was big and terrifying. Why is he subject to man?
The captives and slaves did not know that the short-bodied soldiers who cut the wood were goblins.
Most thought they were an army of humans with slightly shorter height.
After hearing Noran's orders, the Trolls immediately went to work. They lifted heavy boulders and placed them in their designated positions.
The construction of the port city is now going on busy. Meanwhile, in the distance were two cloaked people hiding.
Both were members of the black assassin who followed Noran. They looked at each other before disappearing, returning to their headquarters to report it.
