Chapter 213 Development To Growth

After the minions left, I began talking to Chloe, who was seated on a log.

"I had started building a tower in the middle of the city," I said.

"What kind of tower are you talking about?" Chloe asked.

"It's a watchtower," I replied. "I'm building it to keep an eye on the surroundings of the city."

"That will help us keep an eye on the enemy, which is good," Chloe said, nodding her head.

"Yes, that's why I'm building it," I continued. "But right now, I'm going to only construct half of it, and the other half will be built once the city is completed."

"Why aren't you completing it right now? Why wait until the completion of the city?" Chloe asked.

"I've included a moat in the city design," I explained. "And I'm also improving the design of the city wall to protect the city from enemies. Until I finish the moat, I don't want to complete the high tower. The high tower will be visible from far away, and other humans could attack us because of it. So, I don't want us to be attacked right now."

"That's a good strategy," Chloe said. "You shouldn't make the high tower until you complete the protection layers of the city. So, what kind of wall are you making? You said you're improving the wall."

"Yes, I'm thinking about improving the wall, but I have no idea how," I admitted. "If you have any ideas, please let me know."

"I don't have any ideas right now," Chloe said. "But if anything comes to mind, I'll tell you." With that, she stood up and walked away.

I turned my attention back to the city wall, which was one of the most important parts of the city's defence. I needed to build a wall that could withstand anything the enemies threw at it and not fall easily. I also needed to design the door and the bridge. They were digging a moat, and before they finished, I would have to design the bridge or our city would have no way to connect with the outside world.

I headed over to the farming area, where I saw farming minions ploughing the hard earth and preparing it for planting. They were going to need the magic minions for water. The magic minions with water capabilities could provide water for anything, so they were very important for farming. I placed five water magic minions in the inner farming area and five in the outer farming area, so they could provide water if needed by the farming team.

After checking the farming area, I left and went to the tower construction site. The tower was large, with a very large base, and the builder minions were still working on the foundation to ensure it was stable for the long term. They were digging holes in the ground to provide support for the tower. It would be heavy, so it needed support from deep in the ground, and the builder minions were busy providing it.

Now I was thinking about the city wall which was one of the most important parts of the city defense. I had to create a wall which could withstand anything the enemies throw at it and doesn't fall quickly. The other thing I had to design was the door and the bridge. They were digging moat and before they complete it, I will have to design the bridge or our city wont have any method to connect with the people outside the world. I went to the place of farming where I saw the farming minions ploughing.

They were ploughing the hard earth and making it ready for farming. They were going to need the Magic Minions for the water. The magic minions with the water capabilities were able to provide water for anything, so they were very important for the farming applications. I place 5 water magic minions at the inside farming area and 5 at the outside farming area. So, they can provide water if needed by the farming team.

After checking the farming area, I left the place and moved towards the tower construction site. They had just begun the construction, so they were going to take some time to complete the tower. It was big, the ground portion of the tower was very big and the builder minions were still working on the base of the tower, so it can stay straight for a long time. They were digging holes inside the earth to give support to the tower. It was going to be heavy, so, it needed support from deep inside the ground and the builder minions were busy providing it the support it needed.

I was looking at the construction of the tower when the minion manager came and told me that some zombies are approaching the city. I quickly ran towards that area and saw some 4 or 5 zombies coming towards the city. They were walking very slow. However, they were constantly moving. It was for the first time I saw any zombies, so far away from the forest. They had come a very long way and especially during the day time. It looked quite strange to me, so I called archers. A group of archers came near me, I told them to get ready.

They placed the arrow in the bow and were ready to send them flying through the air. It told them to target the zombies and fire. The arrows went through the air and some hit the Zombies while others fell to the ground. I told them to attack them again, and said lose. Some arrows got stuck into the Zombies but they were still approaching the cities.

It was certainly quite worrying. The zombies were significantly stronger since the end of the vampires' reign. I could only assume that they were going to get stronger from here.

How annoying.

But, once I can stabilise everything, I'll be able to start expanding again.
