Chapter 199: 199. Lord Claude’s Plan, Territory Development_1

The chief staff member let out a silent sigh, but his expression remained completely normal: “Lord Mayor, if you really want to teach Nemesis a lesson, I suggest we target his territory.”

“Territory? Where is Nemesis’s territory?” The Lord Mayor’s eyes shifted, showing a glimmer of interest.

Checking the register on his desk, the staff member replied: “According to our records, Nemesis’s territory is downstream of the Moonlight River, approximately 30 kilometers from Orleans City.”

“Downstream of the Moonlight River, got it.” The eyes of Lord Mayor Claude narrowed slightly, his gaze becoming cold and calculating: “Nemesis manipulated Tina Garcia to kill my uncle Milton, causing significant losses for the ‘Nightingale Commerce’. It’s high time we gave Nemesis a ‘gift’!”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

A dull knock came from the wooden door of the meeting room.

Claude and his staff stopped their discussion, looking in the direction of the door.

An elderly butler dressed in a black cotton uniform entered the room: “Master, it’s me. I apologize for interrupting your meeting.”

“Ah, it’s you, Hemet.” Claude relaxed back in his chair, crossed his arms, “What is the important matter?”

Claude knew his old butler Hemet well. Hemet would never intrude on a meeting without a good reason. Since he was here, it meant that something had come up or Hemet had something to say that was related to what they were discussing.

The old butler respectfully bowed to the attendees, saying: “Master, the goblin[Vena·Black Gold]is here, and he carries the token given by Nemesis as a symbol of his role as the emissary of the Princess.”

“Oh?” Claude’s eyes narrowed slightly.

They were discussing Nemesis, and ironically, one of Nemesis’ men had arrived.

Claude rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then stood up. His gaze swept over his staff: “I will meet with the goblin. Meanwhile, everyone, stay here, do not leave.”

“Understood.” The staff members quickly answered.

Then, Claude got up and left the meeting room, leaving his staff waiting patiently.

A few minutes later, Claude returned to the meeting room, walking with the stride of a dragon and the fierceness of a tiger.

Compared to when he left, there was no noticeable change in his expression.

“Lord Mayor, what did the Goblin say?” the chief staff member asked.

“He didn’t say much.” Claude sat in the main seat, his expression somewhat strange: “Nemesis’s territory is suffering from a monster attack, and he asked for 500 elite soldiers to assist him in the defense.”

“And you?”

“Well, of course, I’ve sent our aid.” Claude revealed a smile: “As colleagues working together for the Empire, I should undoubtedly help in such a small matter.”

“Is that so?” The staff member’s eyes shifted, “Lord Mayor, are you planning to sabotage these elite soldiers and backstab Nemesis?”

“Who knows?” Claude did not deny nor confirm.

“But Nemesis is not a fool.” The staff member reminded, “Nemesis knows very well that he has severely offended you, so he will definitely be wary of the elite soldiers you send. If you want to successfully target Nemesis, you would need to out-think him.”

“Ha! Nemesis is not a fool, am I one?” Claude snorted coldly, then waved his hand dismissively:

“Rest assured, I have a perfect plan in mind. Even if Tina Garcia brings the entire Unicorn Knights to help defend Nemesis’s territory, he can’t hope to hold it!”

The attending staff, ” ”

The Lord Mayor is starting to come up with his own plans. Isn’t this leaving them, the staff, useless?

What will they do if they lose their jobs? This question is urgent and immediate!

The scene shifts back to Aphi Village.

With the aid of the 12-fold “Speed Gear” boost, the grand construction operation in Aphi Village began!

The entire village has now turned into a large construction site.

The farmer craftsmen, responsible for construction, under the assistance of a large number of players, were upgrading all the buildings in the village.

The [Houses], [Town Hall], [Tavern] were all being fortified and upgraded. It was like a large sawmill.

However, some functional buildings cannot be directly upgraded, like the [Bakery], [Smithy], [General Store]. These can only upgrade their building levels by fulfilling a certain number of orders.

But it was not difficult to complete the orders.

Under the command of Swift, in order to upgrade the [Bakery], the Town Hall issued orders to [Bakery], letting a portion of players learn the [Chef] profession and complete the orders.

Once the conditions for the order were satisfied, the responsible players got to work, hammering away, and the building successfully upgraded.

Except for preparing for the monster siege, Su Yu spent most of his time in the town hall researching technologies.

The research speed of the technologies was boosted 12 times. It was astonishingly fast.

As technology after technology unlocked, more and more new buildings continued to appear on the land of Aphi Village.

[Market], [Hospital], [Theater], [Herb Garden], [Irrigation Canal]

Swift made diligent use of the over 200 newly received refugees, arranged their accommodation, and put them to work on the territory construction, giving them fair remuneration.

So at the beginning of the upgrade, due to a large influx of people which led to a plummet down to 70 in the territory’s [Habitability], it quickly recovered and after an hour, it returned back to a high position of 90.

2 kilometers north of the village, Old Carpenter Brooke was leading more than a dozen villagers and over 300 players working on the second wonder – [Pandaman Terracotta Army].

The construction period for a wonder is very long, but for the long-term consideration of the territory, it was necessary to build.

Moreover, the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] is a military wonder, which slightly makes up for the lack of NPC military strength in Aphi Village.

Half an hour later, the second monster siege on the territory officially began.

However, there is not much to say about this siege.

Just in the Prayer Hall, nearly 10,000 players gathered to spectate. After seeing the invasion notice, quite a few players crowded over here.

So, when faced with nearly 10,000 players cutting off escape routes, the siege monsters didn’t even get close to the village, they were completely annihilated.

After successfully defending the village, Su Yu received the defense rewards: [Food] x2000, [Gold] x600, 40 leather armors, 50 long swords, 30 longbows, 5000 feather arrows.

Su Yu instructed his men to move these rewards from the town hall to the barracks. Meanwhile, he messaged Swift: “Swift, keep an eye out for talented fighters, archers, and mages in the territory, and allow them to form an army. I’m going offline for a while, I’ll be back in an hour and a half.”

“Offline?” Swift was taken aback.

Su Yu replied, “Yes, our game time is only 12 hours per day. If we do not go offline to accumulate game time, we might miss out on many important events in the game. When you’re not busy, keep an eye on your online frequency and make sure to accumulate enough time.”

Swift replied: “I won’t overdo it, and I will control the frequency of my logins to keep enough time.”

“Uh huh, you have been working hard these past few days.”, after Su Yu said these words, his avatar grayed out and he left the game.
