Chapter 817 Time to Expand the Plans
?In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since Vicente and Nova’s wedding!”,
After a honeymoon that lasted only 10 days, they returned to their normal routine. She went back to taking care of the army in the province, while he led the expansion of his operations in Snow Province, and both of them cultivated to become stronger.
For the past few months, everything had been going well for the two and the Fuller family. As Nova reached the ninth month of her pregnancy, all of their plans were coming to fruition, with more trade with their allies taking place, some of the construction of the order’s altars being completed, and more and more magicians joining them.
After more than a year of the order’s altars functioning as stations for awakening the powers of young magicians, over 10,000 young people had awakened their powers at Vicente’s altars. Of those over 10,000, about 4,000 were Dark Path magicians, and nearly 90% of them had joined one of Vicente’s organizations.
Vicente currently had three forces on the continent that magicians could choose to join. One was the Cataclysm Order, where one could become a Sentinel of the Order—a defender of the magical community—or an administrative member of the altars.
Another of his forces was the Blacksmiths’ Association, where he wanted to develop professionals capable of creating robotic armor.
Given how impressive his armor was, the number of young people interested in becoming blacksmiths had skyrocketed in recent months, making forging the most sought-after profession among young people on the continent.
Finally, one could directly join the Fuller family, whose purpose was to maintain the human domains in the south of the continent, especially in the Seidel Kingdom.
Each force had its own peculiarities, but the main factor in all of them was location, since their ultimate goals were similar: to fight the monsters for the good of the magical community.
The Fuller family was for those interested in living between the Snow and Scott Provinces, while the Cataclysm Order was for people from all over the southern states who didn’t necessarily want to move.
All three forces gained many new members during this time, far beyond the young people who had awakened in recent months. Many old magicians without organizations, or who had seen parts of their groups destroyed by the disaster, joined Vicente’s forces.
Because of his success in recruiting new subordinates, Vicente now had 37,000 magicians under his leadership, which had always helped him to dominate the Snow Province after his honeymoon, allowing him to build the new metal cities of the Seidel Kingdom.
While his plans for Snow and Scott Provinces had reached the point he had envisioned when he returned to the kingdom more than a year ago, the situation in the other two provinces of the kingdom was the best it had been in months.
With the state functioning more or less as it had before The Purification, Vicente was already thinking about his next move!
…
At the Fuller family mansion in Metal City, Vicente was standing next to Rory, Eve, Benson, Nova and Nina in the family living room.
Lauren wasn’t there, having left with Onyx weeks ago to carry out a mission in the north of the kingdom.
Although most of the 5th stage monsters operated in the central region of the continent, sightings or news of such creatures reached Metal City on a weekly basis.
The Fuller family currently had a special group of warrior members who were responsible for dealing with these stronger creatures, and there were always missions to hunt, kill, or subdue them.
Lauren was pursuing her promotion to mid-level, so she spent less and less time in the city.
But that wasn’t just a reflection of her desire to get stronger, it was also a reflection of Nina’s improvements. With just over 5 months since becoming a Mid-level Mage, Nina was close to the peak of her level.
She could become a High-level Mage in a few more months, so Lauren was working harder than ever in the north of the kingdom.
For now, Nina and Killian were still living in Metal City, but soon they planned to move to Metal City 9, which was under construction near the northern edge of the Snow Province.
Anyway, everyone in the room was at the same level as months ago. The only one with a big difference from months ago was Nova, who had an enormous belly.
Since Annie was about to be born, Nova had already stopped cultivating to wait for the birth of her daughter.
But even though she had been at the same level for a few weeks, she couldn’t help but attract the attention of the group with her big belly, constantly wiggling with Annie’s movements.
Vicente smiled at the sight of his daughter wriggling inside her mother before turning to the group and saying. “I have gathered you here today to talk about our next steps. The Seidel Kingdom is becoming safe, with excellent infrastructure for receiving migrants and dealing with monsters, even in my absence. 𝗳r𝐞𝐞w𝐞bn𝚘ve𝚕.co𝐦
But that’s not enough. We need to have metal cities outside the kingdom and outside warriors who can make the monsters’ progress even more difficult. So, for the sake of Annie’s future, I intend to leave for the Kenyth Empire tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?” Rory looked at his friend before turning his attention to Nova’s belly. “To ensure better conditions for Annie’s first days?”
“Not only that. When Annie is born, I don’t intend to leave Metal City for a few months. So I’m going to move up my plans for this trip.” Vicente explained before looking at Nina. “I hope you’ll stay in the city until I get back. I’ll do my best to be back before Annie is born, but in case that doesn’t happen, I want you to be in the city to protect her.”
Nina understood the message and nodded in agreement with her brother. “I will stay here until Annie is 1-year-old, brother. Don’t worry, I will defend my niece!”
Vicente smiled. For him, Nina was the one who had the most potential of all his domains to replace him when he was gone!
