493 Chapter 493 Preparing For War
For the first time in years, people that was working in the governments finally got paid. And better yet, they could finally do their job since their budget was not only restored, buy also increased by a thousand times.
People began to wonder how the hell did Bhurud got so much money. All kinds of conspiracy spread out, saying that the legendary Ferad Hanman might have stashed a lot of money in a secret vault and only Bhurud knew about it.
Some criminal-minded warriors had the thought of capturing Bhurud and force him to spill out the location of the vault, but… the 13 year old kid just killed two strongest warrior in Towbone with such ease.
It scared them and a lot of these criminals canceled their plan. But there will always be those that was foolish enough to do it.
As Aldred was reading his reports in his office, still in Bhurud’s body, he sensed a movement.
Aldred sighed. “Again? When are they going to stop bothering me?”
Two warriors in a black mask jumped out of the shadow with a pair of blade in hand.
With blurry speed, Aldred grabbed two quills and threw it at them. The quills were fragile, but because of the speed Aldred gave them, it had enough force to pierce through the assassins’ throat.
“KAKK…”
The two assassins fell and gagged as they struggled to breathe. Aldred stood up from his chair, grabbed the two assassins by the collar and then threw them out of the window.
The window shattered and the two assassins fell head first. The people outside saw this in shock, but the criminals saw it with fear.
“That is it. I have decided,” Aldred said. “I am going to bring the golems here right now.”
At first, he hesitated whether he should bring the golems now. But the city was filled with criminals. He had to stop them or his plan for the city would not work.
Towbone was always known as the shit hole of civilization. Filled with poor beggars and petty criminals.
But three days later, everyone in town was shocked by a large army of golems patrolling the city and capturing all the criminals.
One time, a poor woman was about to be robbed. She only had a bread in her hand, but that was the only food she had after a week.
“Please, let me go!”
“Give me your bread first.”
Suddenly, four golems landed around them.
“Fuck! Run!”
The golems rushed forward with incredible speed and then slashed their legs.
The robbers screamed as their body fell. They looked back and saw that their legs were no longer there.
The golems were vicious in their operation. These last three days, words about them had spread, and everyone knew that these golems did not know the concept of mercy.
Yes, these golems did not kill, but what they done to criminals might make them wanted to die.
In four days, all criminals activity completely stopped. With Aldred’s golems, and some drones that he got from Corduul, everything was being monitored and watched.
Aldred could even prevent any robbery before it happened. And, he even managed to find their secret bases, of which he had destroyed them all.
Towbone’s greatest export was farmland. The reason why the people was so poor here was because the profit of those farmland were not put in good use. Instead of improving securities, paying civil servants, and fixing roads, the money was used for lavish luxuries for the town leader.
“Well, I will change that.”
The golems began to work. Aldred had experienced city-building before, so it was easy for him to command the golems to build school systems, transportations systems, roads, bridges, public facilities, health care, and everything else.
Corduul’s drones also detected some mine veins around the city, so the golems began to dig and collected some valuable rocks.
“How is everything Tarrar?” Aldred asked as he sat in his office.
“Well, I thought I would have to wait for a few years for you to get a territory in this place, so this is very sudden for me.”
“But you still did good.” Aldred smiled.
“The town is small so it’s easy for me to set up shops. But, that is also a problem. The city is too small. It’s not worthy enough to set up shops here.”
“Don’t underestimate this city, Tarrar. This place has a lot of Gold Rank childrens. Naturally, the resources here will cost more back in Coureroy continent.”
Tarrar nodded. “That’s a great idea.”
“And how about you, Corduul?”
The robotic man said in mechanical tone: “There are five cities nearby. Each one of them has a significant military power. Diamond Ranks are abundant. And my drones even detected something with far greater power.”
“I wonder if I can kill an Adamantite Rank.” Aldred thought to himself for a few seconds. “I think I can. I have plans to kill them. And it might work.”
“Are you planning to attack other cities, right now?” Tarrar asked.
“Sure, why not.” Aldred grinned.
He began his preparation for war. With Corduul as his adviser, they began to transport all kinds of golems and robots into a secret base under the city.
On the first day, it was 100,000 golems.
On the second day, the number increased to 200,000.
Third day, it went up to 400,000.
And the fifth day the golems totaled at 800,000.
And that did not include Corduul’s powerful mechanical army.
In total, Aldred’s army numbered more than 2 million.
“But there is a problem,” Aldred said. “All of them are weak. We have numbers but we don’t have strength.”
Corduul suggested. “We can extract resources from this continent and create our army with them.”
Aldred agreed with that suggestion. “Seems like we really have to expand.”
“Which city should we attack?”
“To the south, there is a city called Marldon. It has sufficient resources for our expansion. It will become a crucial point of our plan to conquer this land,” Corduul replied.
“Let’s waste no time then.”
Aldred and Corduul teleported into a secret base under the city. The base was vast and it was filled with golems and robots. The robots stood from 6 meters to 50 meters tall.
They brought great firepower with their capabilities. There were artillery robots, and bladed robots weighing more than 6 tons and they had 8 arms with super-alloy sword.
There were also gunner robots equipped with 8 six barrel vulcan cannons that could tore walls of a fort.
And Corduul’s new invention. Shield Robots that could be used in the front line to protect the gunners.
Science and magic did not seem much different now. Aldred also had golems that could use blades and even fire bullets.
He even had artillery golems.
“You and Dobbs should began to create golems that combines science and magic.”
“Yes, master. The Mechanicum and Dobbs are currently working on it.”
“Maybe I should make a magic organization, fill it with smart magicians and have them work together with your engineers and scientist. I would call them Maginicum.”
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “That’s a terrible name, master.”
Aldred laughed. “I know. I will think of something better.”
