Chapter IV. The Arrival

Your Majesty! I'm sorry for not arriving on time. Please punish me! A middle aged man wearing a silver armor and a dark grey robe ran towards me.

It's ok, I didn't die, right? Haha

I made a little joke to improve the situation, but I don't think he even understood.

Well atleast your here now. My injuries aren't heavily, and we still have to go to the village.

Pack the swords and armor of the people here and then let's continue our journey.

After collecting every armor and sword into my system space, I opened the System Shop

[ Shop | ]

Low Grade | Healing Potion - 1 Gold

( Heals minor injuries and wounds )

Middle Grade | Healing Potion - 10 Gold

( Heals innate injuries and repairs broken bones … )

High Grade | Healing Potion - 100 Gold

( Can grow new hands, legs … and heals everything )

———————————————————————

I take one low grade healing potion

[ - 1 Gold ]

[ Received one low grade healing potion ]

I take the potion out of the system space, it was a very small golden bottle, a red liquor smelling a bit like blood was in it. I took off the bottle cap and let the liquid pour onto my injuries. After waiting a few second, I could see the wounds heal with my eyes and a fascinating feeling went through my body.

I sat down inside the carriage and Zhang Yu drove the carriage from now on.

Only half a day traveling later.

I could see a small wooden wall appear in the horizon.

In the entrance, some people could be seen, waiting for my arrival.

At the entrance, I was greeted from the mayor and some of the more important people in the town. As I noticed, there only 6 cultivators in the village. Five 1st Stage Cultivators and even one 2nd Stage Cultivator, I didnt really think there would be any cultivator in this town.

When I talked with the mayor, also the 2nd Stage Cultivator in this village, he gave his power to me very easily. It seemed as if he didn't want to rule this place anymore.

As for that moment, I already knew, I completed another quest and the rewards weren't stingy at all.

[ Host has taken control over (Town) Glancing ]

[ Quest completed | Accept Rewards ]

Ten 3rd Stage Stone Guardians

One Development Plan (??)

Accept all rewards!

After that, I prepared the house wich the old mayor gave me as a present, I also found a basement so I decided to store the 10 Stone Guardians there, until I needed them.

Now there was only the development plan left.

System? How do I unlock the item of the development plan?

[ If you take the Plan out and look at it, it will reveal it automatically ]

Ok then let's see.

I take a small breath and slowly take out the plan. When I lay it down on the wooden table

a golden Energy raps around the plan and a painting appears on the paper.

[ Development Plan | Spiritual Canon ]

Can immediately build a Spiritual Canon,

wich efficient resources.

0/20 Spirit Stones

0/100 Enchanted Metal

(Able to be used 20x times)

What the?! A Spiritual canon?

Is that like a modern canon but stronger?

[ Replying to Host, a spiritual canon can kill a 4th stage Cultivator with ease and heavily injure a 5th stage cultivator. ]

What?! So powerful? Then are there even stronger weapons like the canon acquireable?

[ That is possible yes ]

Haha, I can't wait for the future. Now then, let's first rebuild the town and design it more like a functional city.

Only 3 Months later, the town had rebuilt many of the streets and houses.

Everything was now a lot easier to reach and the walls against the demon realm also had been rebuilt to huge thick stone walls, everything was going as planned.

Now only one month was left until the demonic beast wave came and attacked this town like every year.

But the townspeople trusted their new leader and were happy to see all these new things in their town. On the huge city walls 2 spiritual canons had been built.

No one was scared of the demonic beasts like before.

I had completed some small quests and collected quite some items and riches.

Status!

[________________________________]

I worked really hard and completed these quests to finally obtain these 3 Summoning Chances.

And I had decided to summon them today.

System? I want to use my Summoning Chances!

[ Summoning Circle: ]

Summoned:

One 4th Stage Guardian

One Great Cavalry (50x 2nd Stage)

One Archer Battalion (80x 2nd Stage)

Great! I really needed some additional Soldiers for my personal army.

In the past 3 months I had tried to build a personal army with the villagers but until now I only had thirty 1st stage soldiers under the help of the system. Now that I had an additional 130 Soldiers and everyone of them was a 2nd Stage, that was quite a boost.

In a Dukedom of the Unfailing Kingdom, there were about 2000 1st Stage Soldiers, about 500 to 700 2nd Stage Soldiers and about 10 3rd Stage Captains.

In the Dukedom of my father, there were even more, about 5000 1st Stage Soldiers and about 900 2nd Stage Soldiers, but my father

was also one of the generals of the Kingdom.

So with my personal army, I already had quite a good protection against enemies.

After ordering the Battalions and Cavalry to protect the town, I summoned the 4th Stage Guardian. The now strongest power under my command.

My Lord! He bowed and greeted me

I will name you, … Zhang Yi

I am thankful for making me have a name! Your Majesty!

Only a month later, the demonic beasts would come soon.

It was a typical warm spring morning, the flowers were spouting everywhere and the colors were everywhere.

The merchants came and went. Always saying how great the streets and everything was.

The people were happy and nothing could cause such a scene to go bad right?

I was standing on one of the main watchtowers guarded by 10 Archers and one spiritual canon. I had already crafted 9 Canons until now.

As I looked into the horizon, I could clearly see some ,,creatures" running towards the town. They had many different body parts as you would expect from a demon.

Some had shells on their back or even horns, hiding the vital points.

Some were white and some were gray or black.

But one thing was the same of every beast.

They had the bloodlust in their eyes.

Everyone ready for defense! I yelled at the soldiers standing on the huge stone wall.

Some where already aiming their arrows at the demons, the others were loading the spiritual canons, preparing to strike back at the enemy.

Silence …

Only the howls of the beasts were loud enough.

The Horizon was already full with black dots.

The old mayor next to me said a bit scared,

These- These are the most demonic beasts we have ever seen in one attack.

At that time a voice resounded in my head and I knew why.
