"Then how about the army? We used to gain an army from the tokens I got from the market, but now as our population got bigger we must focus on our soldiers."

Mamor started to speak by saying:

"I have already ordered the boys to focus on creating new armies from the villagers.

We have built over 100 barracks now and got them upgraded. We also have built the military ports that can build simple warships. Although it's just simple warships, the navy boys are very excited and want to start moving into the sea to explore it."

Ibro was astonished as he didn't expect his current village to be able to train naval forces.

"How many warships do we have?"

"Not much actually. We have built 20 army ports on the long coast. Each port can make a single warship daily. So we got nearly 150 warships."

"That's a great number Mamor. Ok, I have many naval forces tokens. You can use some of them with the leadership of the admirals we have. Order them to scout the sea around us. If they find any monster forces they don't engage with them. I need info only. War will be later."

Hoden sensed the change in his young lord personality so he asked in concern:

"Is there something wrong my lord?"

Ibro looked at him and felt speechless. Since when was that peaceful man a war lover? He said in a firm tone:

"I have many things to do. So I need you all to scout the area around us. Don't stir any trouble for the time being.

All I need from you is to draw detailed maps of the areas around us in the ground, in the waters and underground. I need to know the details of the surrounding 10k kilometers."

"All this area?!"

This time Hoden was shocked. He thought his lord would change his strategy to develop slowly.

But now he knew he was mistaken. This young lord would be like a crouching tiger. He would wait and build his forces to unleash huge wars on all those around him. Ibro didn't fail his expectations as he continued:

"You will work hard at increasing our armies' numbers. All the villagers who can't work in any craft will join the military.

Organize the military to be divided into separate armies; each army can work alone without any need to get any support from other forces.

I want you to train the soldiers to be ready for war at any notice. You can use the underground monsters to train them in war constantly. The number of forts underground is endless and easy to find and conquer. "

Mamor replied at once:

"I will do this, my lord."

"Hoden, your main task is to lay out the organizational design of the village. I want you to lay this design based on the empire models.

Even if we don't have the available people needed for us to apply such models but at least we have the general layout. I don't want each time I upgrade my village to be forced to change the administrative chain again and again."

"I will do this, my lord."

"Ok, now I want you to start preparing now. Be ready to enter the war at any time."

"We will my lord."

Ibro then looked towards Mony and said:

"I want to take a tour at the village. You two go and do your duties, I will go with Mony."

Ibro then moved from his chair. His stay at Noda village had affected some of his habits. He decided when he was there to have regular tours in his village.

Although Hoden and Mamor were his two pillars he decided to take only Mony in such tours. Froki also came with them as he was considered the personal advisor by Ibro.

The three of them started their tour from the lord's manor. Ibro didn't have a chance to walk in his village before but now he felt proud. His village was huger than Noda village.

There were a lot of buildings. The streets were wide and full of villagers. What he felt was missing was the trade nature of his village.

"What do you think about starting the trade function of the village?"

He directed his question to Froki was replied at once:

"Our village has enough villagers to sustain the transition. To do so we need to make some changes in the structure of the village. The most important thing is the currency system.

Also, we need to start privatization. These two steps are essential before the start of the trade system in the village."

"Privatization depends upon the presence of currency. So the base of this depends on the currency system. To establish currency we need many pure coins."

"Not only pure coins, but we also need economic saint help. To establish currency is no small feat actually."

Ibro thought for a while. He needed to find an economic saint. This wasn't an easy task especially since there were no economic saints out there at the market.

That meant he either needed to look for one or try to train one. The training process would take ages especially if he needed a saint help here. Ibro also didn't know why he would need such high esteemed help so he asked:

"Why do we need an economic saint?"

"Because he will put a model we will follow based on our village statistics.

For example, if we have a lot of talents here then we can use powerful economic models from the start. That is determined by the economic saint."

Ibro didn't fully understand Froki's meaning but he knew he was talking about something complicated that seemed right. He just continued his tour around his village.

The village now had three levels. The first one which was the original village that lied behind the wooden walls. The walls had been upgraded now to be built with stones.

Their height was also elevated by double. The second level was the one which was between the two walls. The second wall was built by using an item so it was already perfect in height and in defenses.

It was built by using different ores. It also had a lot of defensive towers. The last level which was the most recent one lied before the second wall.

It extended to cover the whole island. This level was still under construction and there was a huge wall that extended on the whole island border to cover it. It used the long branches of the river to add more defense abilities to the village.

This village was now closer to be a small town. The new part could hold around 10 million villagers with ease. That was a plan for the future.

Although it seemed good, Ibro didn't like the idea of closing the village on this island. He suggested on Froki and Mony to build bridges over the river branches so the villagers could move between the two sides of the river.

Mony told him that such a plan was already present especially the main farms were on the other side of the river now. After they finished the long tour, Ibro returned to his manor and closed the door on the second building.

This building was like a living quarter for him and his family. He didn't plan to have a family so soon but this huge building gave him the idea.

He had Oya back home but he was away from her by space and time. He had Noda and he also had Mony. Just thinking about this issue made him feel a headache.

He went to the garden of his living building and started to clear up his mind. He had a more important issue to think about right now.

He sat down and took out the scroll he got from the saint. He found it heavier than he remembered. He opened the scroll and began to read its content.
