" He already left, why are you here? I only requested from the clans men not the leader" Ikem asked terra who still have a happy smile on his face.
The smile on Terra face slowly faded away as he scratched his head " I thought maybe you need a more capable and stronger soldier around you"
" Well, I am happy that you are here as i have something i need you to do" Ikem nodded as he pulled in his son for a hug.
Blushing after breaking away from the hug, Terra asked " What do you need me to do"
"Come with me" Ikem said as he walked further into the farmland.
" What do you think of this place" Ikem asked while walking.
Terra, hearing his father's words, looked around as he seriously said " Amazing, this place is the most efficient farmland I could possibly think of. Even after plucking away the fruit and usable plants, I could feel the earth reacting to fill up the created gap. The kingdom have no need to bother with planting ever again or ever go hungry as long as we have this place"
Ikem nodded hearing his son't word " This is exactly why i am happy that you are here, for the past years, you and your siblings have been on the mission to expand our kingdom ground, right now you are your people are exempt from this mission"
" Once every food here has been brought back to the kingdom, I want you and your clan members to build a stronghold around this place, this will be the place for your people to live and guard from now on" Ikem said as he held Terra's shoulders.
Terra said nothing as he looked at his father " Why me father, Ember is the strongest among us meaning he could guard this place better than i could"
" True, he would have been a better choice but his element is fitte for issues such as this, it wouldn't have been possible for him to find out that this place can replenish food as you did, your people are more sensitive to earth than most, also when i said guard, I never meant for you to fight but using your earth crafting capabilities to built a defense that can't be broken through" Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
"Also because of this", Ikem said as he gestured to a tree. Unlike most tree in this farmland that has fruits in it meant to be eaten this one has no fruit or anything of the sorts, it looked like a completely normal tree.
Terra looked weirdly at the tree finding nothing different, " Hit it with all you strongest move" Terra heard his father say from right behind him.
" I will also be leaving you with a Zephyr clan member who will be a messenger between you and the kingdom, understood?" Ikem asked while looking at his son.
" Yes," Terra answered with a sad slight tone.
Ikem picked up on that " I will make your siblings will be paying you occasional visit, i may do the same too when i have the there" Ikem said as he pulled his son in for a hug.
" I will miss you dad" Terra said.
" Me too," Ikem replied.
Ikem walking behind a carriage looked back to see his son and clansmen waving goodbye at them, Ikeem turned with a smile as he did the same before looking back with, aview at his expression showe he wasn't happy.
" If not for this sudden change, I won't have to put such pressure on my son. Enricher my ass" Ikem thought to himself with a clenched fist.
The entourage continued for a while as the sun went down, a bon fire was created as everyone started making food to eat, meanwhile Ikem was releasing red roots from all over his body which was parasitizing the tree all over the camp to make sure his people won't be suddenly attacked.
The whole night went by fast with Ikem rarely having to move, No powerful or big animal came to them, most animals that came close were grabbed up by the Bara's who now have dead carcasses all around them.
The team went back to their journey as Ikem reabsorbed the Bara's back into his body as he followed behind them. When it was afternoon the whole entourage already caught sight of the mountain and a cheer could be heard as everybody started moving faster with new found energy.
It didn't take much time to reach the root of the mountain, Ikem went up the mountain first and he couldn't help but marvel at how helpful magic was, the destroyed mountain and landscape now looked like it was never touched or destroyed, Terra clansmen really outdi themselves.
As Ikem made his way up the mountain, he caught sight of a newly built house. His son Eriri really overdid himself this time. Eriri was one of Ikem who has the wooden element. His son was one of the best builders the kingdom has, sadly he received no curse but his son still fought hard to show how good and relevant he is.
Eriri to prove himself created a group together with his sibling with similar talents, where they took on the job of using their attribute to build houses together with the terra clan, the group were also the best farmers as they use their abilities in growing food and plants, thinking back on the farmland Ikem thought to himself " It seems Eriri will be losing some part of his job soon"
