“Impressive!”
I was gone for slightly over a day now. But when I returned to the outer zone of my capital, I saw great changes there.
Before, the digging process expanded and covered almost everywhere. The dirt was the most remarkable thing to see around here.
The central zone was the only place with ores melted down. Foundation was started to be laid there, and in a rudimentary form.
But now things looked much different! The diggings stopped, and now all the capital was filled with workers moving to and fro, moving melted ores towards the deep holes to lay them in there.
The foundations started to take shape, with mixed coloured ores used in the process. Standing high in the air gave me the impression that I was watching a festival of colours or something.
This scene left a very good impression indeed..
As for the field stretching outside the capital, the crops started to grow slowly out of earth. They were green, pink, red, blue, and even black in colour.
Looking at the large fields stretching outside, it looked like earth got a new coat or something. It looked cool!
“This… It’s taking more shape to be like a big city,” I grinned before recalling something.
I took out my pillar and started to use the Thundering Might shield to cover the vast fields here. This place was going to be the core of my people’s food. Losing it would deal a big blow to my people.
So I had to secure it. I saw a few forts getting built at the border of these fields, just on the other bank of the river I used to nourish this region.
As for the other side of the river, the soil there was getting richer with energy. I knew at some point, it would be suitable for planting crops there, but that would take long months to do that.
There were workers building long walls on the home side of the river. With the big forts on the other side, this place would look like a big fortress, impregnable to any ground forces.
Using my shield, this place would become much safer. From my last battle with that bastard, and his persistence in using the sealing pillars to stop my shield from forming, I got something.
The incidence of him giving ability to his forces to penetrate through my shield seemed to be an exception. Or perhaps he had to pay a hefty price to make it done.
Anyway, if he could repeat it easily, he shouldn’t have leant towards using the sealing pillars to stop my shield.
And that was good news to me. At least my capital would be secured, most of the time.
It took me five times of my skill to cover the entire field. The shield merged with the bigger one covering my capital. And I knew gradually and with time, this big shield would expand.
If I could, if I got time, I’d go around and spread my shields all over the place. But this move had to wait for a later time.
Once I finished doing this, I went directly towards the capital. I first took a wide tour in slow speed, watching my people working diligently all over the capital.
“They are doing fine, not needing any more help,” I thought of bringing the rest of the races here to work with them. But it seemed the capital had enough workers.
Besides, the workers here established a synchronised way of work. Adding any more would risk ruining such a good environment.
I went to check over the training grounds. The boys there were doing great! In a single day time, the number of ships increased by three, and four were now standing in the frontal hellish zone.
The ship which had my teammates in was at the furthest point now, going even beyond what it was when I picked the spearhead.
It seemed the spearhead returned with full energy and desire to help the team better. Their performance was superb! And behind, more ships were seeing them as a role model right now.
Then I went towards the coast region. This place held much importance for me. Once I reached there, I recalled my earlier plans of building aquatic forts around the coast to protect the shore.
The walls were getting in shape, expanding for a large distance up to the horizon. In regular intervals, forts would appear. They needed more time to be fully built, at least three to four more days.
We had at least eight days till the start of the fourth quest. I’d have to fight that bastard from the mainland in seven days. I had to assume that the Hectors wouldn’t sit idle and watch me distracted without intervening.
So we had around one week left before the big fight began. And before that, all the defensive buildings here should get done.
“I have to go back and ask Isac about this,” she asked for aquatic races, and I got busy since then.
I got her the races she needed, but had to take her back to the second Earth. Alongside Hilary and Angelica, the three were now busy rebuilding the forest world there.
But that didn’t mean I should neglect the work here. I opened my profile page and opened a portal from there to arrive at the second Earth.
“Damn!!!”
If I was surprised by what my people did in just one day at my capital, then seeing the work done here on second Earth made my eyes wide open.
I left this place almost one day ago. It had more progress in buildings in the central zone than my capital.
But right now… All I saw was long and towering buildings, wide streets paved with colourful and beautiful looking stones, and I even spotted fountains and decorations all over the place.
This… It wasn’t just a single city that got built, but over five towns also completely finished. More than that, the roads linking the six big settlements were done as well.
