Chapter 15

When the two women met, their eyes locked in a heated stare. For a moment, the tension in the air was palpable.

While he wasn’t sure what was going on, Joshua felt that he could actually see a flash of lightning in their eyes.

Lucy immediately asked Lena, “Who are you?”

“I’m Village Chief Joshua’s personal maid! Who are you?

“I’m his personal guard.”

The two of them stared at each other, neither giving way to the other.

Without a choice, Joshua had to stop them. “What are you doing!”

But soon, Joshua was repelled by the hostile look in their eyes. Seeing that he could no longer stop them, Joshua was ready to retreat to the side.

At this time, Lena asked him, “When did you have a personal guard? I didn’t even know. You hid it quite well!”

“Last night, the dark elves came to me for help so I suggested that they move directly to the village! After that, their chief apparently ‘gave’ Lucy to me! I resisted at first, but I really had no choice because Lucy can’t go back to her own home now.”

Hearing this, Lena was relieved. Her own experience was similar to Lucy’s, so she immediately showed sympathy.

“Sigh! You’re a man who’s very addictive. Since you’ve already accepted such a thing, just forget I asked! Next time, you must reject such things in advance. Otherwise, these things will continue to peril you in the future!”

Joshua nodded his head sympathetically and replied, “I know! There’s nothing I can do about it. Next time, I’ll definitely explain to them in advance!”

However, the war between women was not over yet. Lena left with Lucy.

As he watched the two of them leave, even the single-minded Joshua could tell that they were in the same boat. It should not be a big problem.

After the small interlude on the road, he finally arrived at the public office.

Today, the entrance to the public office was very busy. It was crowded with strong men who seemed to be looking for jobs!

Because of this, Joshua walked through the side door. The public office was already full of people.

There were already a few young men and women from the elf clan and the Great Ghost clan by Mortimer’s side, watching him work.

Joshua immediately walked toward Mortimer.

“Why is the public office so busy today?”

Mortimer raised his head to look at Joshua and explained, “Recently, we need to expand the farmland and so on so we need a lot of workers. Therefore, I informed the people who came yesterday to apply and asked them to bring the news back to their own people. Well, things happened and now what you see outside is the result of it.”

“Oh, I see!”

At this time, Joshua remembered his main purpose of coming here and said, “Today, more than 70 dark elves moved here. Do you know about this matter?”

“Georgi has already told me about this. He will inform me about the rest of the matters when he’s done!”

“That’s good! I won’t disturb you while you are busy!”

Seeing that the office was so busy, Joshua left with great satisfaction.

“It seems that it won’t be long before I can build a town!”

However, at this time, Joshua did not know that a small-scale war was happening in the distance and still expanding in size.

Because of the dark elves’ sudden disappearance, several races around thought that the dark elves had been wiped out by the half-elves.

Therefore, everyone was afraid and suspicious of each other, which then triggered a war.

It was the first time they had gotten a taste of killing.

These demi-human races with decent combat abilities took the initiative to search for the weaker savage races in this area and began their plundering journey.

At this time, Joshua came to the old Village Chief Carl’s room and brought some fruit tea with him that he had purchased from the market. 

Because the old village chief’s body was not in the best condition these days, Joshua had to arrange some people to serve him.

Walking to the old village chief’s bed, Joshua took a closer look and found that the old village chief was staring at the ceiling.

After discovering Joshua was there with him, he said, “Joshua, it’s been a long time since we last met. How are things going in the village recently?”

Joshua told Carl everything he had done recently.

“It seems that I won’t live much longer. I’ll leave the future of the village to you!”

Joshua immediately held Carl’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about things here! I’ll definitely build a very magnificent city when you leave!”

Hearing this, old Village Chief Carl smiled, turned his head to the side, and continued to sleep.

Seeing that Carl was asleep, Joshua quietly left the room.

“Sigh! This is the circle of life. People will eventually grow old and die. I hope you can live a few more years!”

After leaving the old village chief’s small wooden house, Joshua returned home and found Lucy and Lena cooking.

But at this time, Lucy had already changed into a maid’s outfit.

The two big round things on her chest were in clear sight for Joshua the moment she bent down.

After feeling a burst of excitement, Joshua immediately shifted his gaze and went to the kitchen to take a look.

He found that Lena was also wearing a special maid’s outfit today. It was even more skimpy compared to Lucy’s. Not only was it slightly see-through, but he could even take a glimpse at what was underneath. 

This was a little too exciting. Joshua wasn’t sure how to react at that moment.

With a sigh, Joshua turned around and returned to an empty room.

There was a huge cocoon in the room. After circling it a few times and confirming that there was nothing unusual, he returned to the office.

At this time, there was a thick stack of documents on the table.

He opened them and took a look. They were all documents that needed to be confirmed and approved by him.

It was still bright outside. Before it was time for dinner, Joshua sat at his desk and started working.

Arrangement of construction personnel, salary budget, benefit and output after the farm is built, plan per capita grain storage…

Looking at these numbers, Joshua immediately felt that there were more people in the village compared to when he first arrived.

He immediately opened the system and looked at the comprehensive city administration view panel.

There were also some very practical books but it was not possible to popularize this knowledge now because the village was undergoing great changes.

Joshua decided to wait until the village was stable before passing on this knowledge!
