Time passed by very fast.
Five months had elapsed.
Winter came, but the rain did not slow down. The City of Dawn that was located in the subtropics, welcomed its second harvest.
The second crop had matured. The commoners had recently stored the first harvest in the granaries. William had spent an enormous amount of money on buying grains, and all the ten huge granaries were entirely filled with grain.
It had to be emphasized.
Public bathrooms were renovated, and feces had started to be used as fertilizers. It increased the productivity of grain production by at least 2 times.
There had been a population increase in the city, and the flat plains on the western and eastern sides of the city were being cultivated for food. The cultivated food was supplemented by forest fruits and wild animals. This way, the 200,000 residents of the City of Dawn could have enough food for an entire year.
In this magical world, the nutrients in the soil were much superior to the real world.
When the new city district was completed, its size came out to be the same as the old district.
There were only 40,000 Elves, and many pieces of land and buildings were still empty.
The walls of the new city district had also been completed. The new walls were 15 meters tall and 6 meters wide. They were a full 5 meters taller than the old walls and looked like a powerful deterrent.
The surface of the city walls was covered by a layer of metal and copper to make them impregnable.
Besides the northern gate, three small city gates connecting the new and old district had been built. These gates facilitated the transportation and interaction between the two districts.
After the slave trade with the Black Lava Nation was stopped, William could only kidnap some slaves from the Iron Nation. There were no other sources for increasing the population.
As the military fortress was about to be completed, William believed that he would not be able to obtain any more slaves.
Fortunately, a Half-Elf establishment, 70 kilometers east of the City of Dawn, was incessantly raided by the Orcs a month ago. As the military fortress of the Iron Nation was about to be completed, the leader of the Half-Elves decided to defect to William and brought his followers with him.
But the most crucial point factor in their decision of defecting was the half-elf status of William.
Especially when William had the royal bloodline, which was no longer a secret.
To be frank,
There were many legendary Half-Elves on the legendary continent, but none of them founded a kingdom. Half of their bloodlines were mixed. It was rare to find a Half-Elf like William, who had the royal bloodline…
Due to this raid, the City of Dawn welcomed an additional 23,000 Half-Elves.
The city was at least two times stronger now than it was six months ago.
The total population reached nearly 200,000.
The military power was also boosted. It had increased from 4,000 soldiers to 15,000 soldiers, equivalent to five legions.
There were two Elfin legions, two Human legions, and a Half-Elf legion.
William was finally able to extract his personal guards and the Dwarven warriors from the legions so that they could become independent.
And he gave titles to the legions.
The first legion previously had been composed of mixed races. Now, it was comprised only of Human professionals.
He named it the [Honor Legion].
William had high hopes for this legion. Many new soldiers had replaced the old and dead soldiers. It was a legion that was led by William, and it won many battles and brought glory to the City of Dawn. William had chosen each individual soldier such that everyone had at least a middle-level bloodline.
If the legion could win a few large battles, it could receive the invincible army morale and the legion BUFF.
The second legion was formed by Humans and Elves, who were young, pretty, and tall females.
He named it the [Guardian Legion].
The purpose of the legion was not for battle. If it were going to be the case, the player would all die of nose-bleeding.
The task of the legion was to protect the City of Dawn.
The soldiers of the Guardian Legion would be in charge of patrolling, guarding the city gates, and maintaining the order in the city.
When the [Guardian Legion] was newly formed, and the female soldiers who were wearing chained skirts were stationed at the central plaza, half of the males in the city were thrilled. They congested the streets and made them impassable…
The third and fourth legions were William’s most powerful legions.
It was because they were composed of pure-blood Elves. The lifespan of the Elves was too long, and they had not experienced war for a long time.
But they possessed superior combat power.
They could become professionals with ease. Their current levels were high, and all of them were middle-level professionals who were level 40 or higher. An astonishing combat power, all they needed was just combat experience.
To the loyal Elves, if they could experience a few large-scale battles, they would form a complete elite legion.
William named them [Night Legion] and [Moonlight Legion] because they were composed of these two types of Elves.
The fifth legion was composed of Half-Elves. Its name was [Fearless Legion].
William had tested the loyalty of the half-elf leader, and after being satisfied, he appointed him the legion commander of [Fearless Legion].
That half-elf leader was a level 61 warrior with the epic bloodline. He had defected to the City of Dawn, so William had given him a chance to prove himself.
Besides the regular army, there were also 2,800 mercenaries. There was not much use for them currently, but they could serve as a useful combat unit during times of need.
“Level 55… aren’t there any missions for me?” William was depressed. In the past year, he had cleaned out all nearby hostile tribes. As long as there were any threats, he would lead the soldiers to neutralize them.
What was it for? Experience points!
After the new city was completed, William gained a lot of experience points.
But his level only upgraded to 55. It was still very far from the desired level 69.
He did not dare to find missions in Iron Nation and Black Lava Nation. He could try to disguise himself in both nations.
But the situation in both nations was too tense. He was afraid of creating trouble and inciting a war between them. It would wreck his plans.
“I’ve no choice. It looks like I’ve to wait for the open beta and then make use of the crystals of the Instance Dungeon to earn many experience points. How can I depend on only missions to upgrade my levels?” William caressed his handsome face. The NPCs with superior bloodlines upgraded their levels at a much faster pace.
If William did not upgrade his level, the bonuses from his attributes would cease.
As he was wallowing in depression.
He spotted Lautner angrily walking!
William watched the grave Lautner reach him and say in a solemn voice, “Two legions from the military fortress of Iron Nation set off to the east. Augustine, the diplomat of Iron Nation, personally led the legions.
He had many powerful followers. He must be making a move!”
“What?” William stood up with joy!
Then he composed himself and inhaled deeply before asking, “Who discovered it?”
“Alec.”
William narrowed his eyes and said, “Inform the other legion commanders and let them prepare their best rangers and warriors.
“Summon all the assassins of Alec. It’s time to clean up the vermin in the city.”
The Dragon slaying battle…
It was not far off…
