Chapter 39: Remarkable Progress

As time continues to progress in the Kingdom, everything is advancing in an orderly manner according to Nexus's plans. Various buildings and constructions are underway, with the city wall being demolished and rebuilt.

The new city wall is ten times taller and sturdier than the previous one, allowing for the Capital to be expand more than ten times and easily accommodate ten to twenty million people with ease.

Construction is moving at a rapid pace, with roads extending to different parts of the city. Severus, the construction team leader, has recruited an additional thousand workers, significantly speeding up the process.

The soldiers and military are also becoming stronger and more organized under Nexus's guidance, with training intensity increased threefold.

Nexus recognizes the importance of a strong military for protecting the Kingdom. The soldiers with the continuous training and large amount of food especially meat are developing strong and robust physiques their physique have undergone drastic changes compared to a few months ago where they were only skin and bones.

They also practiced with the refined iron swords, spears, and shields provided by Thorgrim, the soldiers trained the most basic fighting techniques and also practice basic Soldier formations to build up their foundation. Brutus, the capable commander, oversees military matters with a few advisors.

The conclusion of the Farming competition has also resolved the food shortage in the Kingdom. Farmers who participated in the competition are selling their produce to the people, generating additional income.

Everything in the Kingdom is progressing in the right direction, with all aspects of development on track.

Over the course of the past six weeks, a remarkable transformation has taken place within the Kingdom. The once somber and melancholic atmosphere that shrouded the land has dissipated, replaced by a newfound sense of vitality and optimism.

The citizens of the Kingdom now boast rosy complexions, with smiles adorning their faces and a spark of life in their eyes. Both their physical and mental well-being have experienced a marked improvement, with their previously emaciated bodies now exhibiting signs of health and vigor. No longer do they resemble the walking corpses they once were, but rather vibrant and thriving beings

While the scars left by the Nobles' tyranny may never fully heal, the citizens have managed to emerge from the shadows of their past trauma. Some still grapple with nightmares and the fear of reverting back to their former state of suffering, but Nexus understands that true recovery will take time.

Despite this lingering unease, the citizens are grateful for the peace and prosperity they now enjoy. They no longer endure hunger and deprivation, but instead have access to food and shelter without fear or want.

During this period, the reconstruction and expansion of the Capital City have been completed. The once dilapidated structures have been revitalized, with the city now ten times its original size. Towering walls, reaching heights of a hundred meters, encircle the city, instilling a sense of awe and insignificance in those who stand before them. Arrow towers dot the walls in every direction, while four grand bronze gates mark the entrances to the city from the north, south, east, and west.

Within the Capital city, there now stand tall and well-designed buildings that have transformed what was once a deserted landscape. The tallest of these structures reach about ten floors, while the shortest stand at four floors. Viewed from above, with the Royal Palace at its center, the city is connected by four grand roads paved with delicately crafted blue bricks, each leading to one of the four main entrances. These main roads are further divided into six lanes, allowing for smooth traffic flow. Intersecting these main roads are smaller streets, creating a network that connects the entire city.

Under the direction of Nexus, the city was expanded and reimagined, resulting in the creation of five distinct regions. Each region is comprised of five districts, with roads extending in all directions. The architecture of the houses and buildings within these regions adheres to modern standards, creating a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing urban landscape.

The completion of the Capital city has brought about a flurry of activity, with businesses sprouting up in every corner. The Business and Entertainment Region, in particular, has seen significant growth. This region is divided into five districts, each serving a specific purpose. There are districts dedicated to the sale of agricultural produce and district for restaurants, inns, taverns, and even a district dedicated to blacksmithing and forging.

Various stalls and stores have opened their doors, offering a wide range of goods and services to the citizens. From restaurants to clothing stores, the options are plentiful. Farmers have taken advantage of the opportunity to sell their produce in dedicated stalls, while others have started businesses in sewing and other trades. The business and commerce of the Capital city are thriving, bringing joy and prosperity to its residents.

While the rebuilding efforts have focused solely on the Capital city thus far, it is a promising start to a brighter future for all.

It is intriguing to note the presence of rectangular wooden boxes, standing as tall as a person, scattered throughout the City. Passersby occasionally toss items into these receptacles, which are easily recognizable as waste bins.

Nexus, in an effort to maintain cleanliness and order within the City, implemented these waste bins for the disposal of garbage.

Each residential dwelling is equipped with its own waste bin for the convenience of its occupants, with dedicated personnel responsible for collecting the refuse. The construction of the Capital included a sophisticated drainage system, complete with sewers to manage the flow of waste.

Additionally, the City features small fountains and trees strategically placed throughout, infusing the urban landscape with a sense of vitality.

In the Central Region of the Capital City, where the Royal Palace of the Mysthaven Kingdom is located, significant changes have taken place. The wall that once separated the inner area from the outer area during the rule of the Nobles has been demolished under Nexus's direction. The damages caused during the attack on the Nobles have been repaired. In addition to the Royal Palace, there are several buildings in the Central Region that serve as offices for various teams. For example, the construction team has a dedicated building, as does the agricultural team. Other buildings have been constructed by the construction team for future use.

While there have been minimal changes to the Royal Palace itself, Nexus has praised the Nobles for their luxurious taste. The Royal Palace is already equipped with all necessary facilities, so Nexus saw no need for major alterations. The addition of maids and with Nyx and Sora in charged has ensured that the Royal Palace is well-maintained and orderly.

Their experience in this role has been invaluable in maintaining the high standards of the Royal Palace. Any potential changes to the Royal Palace will be considered in the future.
