Chapter 506: Expansion

On the school field of Nanbin City, although many soldiers have not slept all night, their faces are full of excited smiles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Not only because they have gained the power of the Holy Light, but also because three powerful heroes who suddenly appeared actually established a nation here!

Due to the long-term war on the mother continent, the people here have always been displaced, except for a few large forces of various races, basically no human country can extend its power to the southern barbarian country. The humans who live here have always been slaves to the barbarians who rule here, and those who want to be free can only stand up to the scattered barbarian forces by forming small armed groups like Southside City.

Now, the three powerful heroes dare to establish a country in the sphere of influence of the barbarians, which shows their strong self-confidence and strength!

Seeing the hero on the stage, shrouded in holy light, wearing delicate burgundy armor and holding a giant sword, solemnly read out the declaration of the founding of the Holy Ondore Order, all the soldiers in Nanbin City who received the holy light felt extremely honored!

After reading the proclamation and the basic policy of Saint Ondore on the platform of the school grounds, Edward raised the dragon star without any other nonsense to the cheers of the soldiers and the populace.

Most of the people were positive about Edward's founding of the country, but there were still a small number of people who scoffed at it, and in their eyes, Edward's three were killing themselves. The current army of the Holy Ondore Order, which has a very large name, consists of only thirty pikemen, forty-one crossbowmen, and fifteen swordsmen, including the former mayor Gok......

With such a meager army in the territory of the barbarians in the south of the continent, it is difficult to protect oneself, and still want to establish a country?

The founding ceremony is just a passing scene, and Edward does not expect to be loved by all the people as soon as the country is founded, and South Shore City is now in ruins, and they still need to do a lot to gain a foothold in this world.

The first thing that needs to be addressed is the issue of food and resources. Located on the southernmost coast of the Mother Continent, Nanbin City is very close to the Barbarian Realm. Due to its remote location, there are no resources around it, except for some self-sufficient farmland for urban residents. The city's only source of income was the humble port and the sale of some food from a few small maritime countries. In a week, all the taxes in Southside City were less than three hundred gold coins, which was unlikely to be of any help to Edward.

"If we want to establish our prestige in the South Shore City, expansion and grabbing resource points must be done immediately. In the council chamber, Annia held a virtual notebook and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, have you tried to convince the elemental spirits here?"

"That's an awkward title, don't call me that, Aniah. Edward shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I tried, but it didn't work. Elemental spirits don't seem to exist here, and it's impossible to rely on them to work for us. ā€

"Then it's up to us. Ania smiled and pointed to the rudimentary map in the center of the council chamber, "To the northeast and northwest of us, there are a number of lumber and ore fields, respectively, which are necessary resources for the construction of the city. It is reported that it was originally a resource point for the barbarian kingdom, but since they have not had an army here for a long time, it is now occupied by a group of cyclops, and what we need to do now is to capture it! ā€

"Cyclops, the kind that attacked the refugees yesterday?" said Nataya, disdainfully, "It's easy, I can do it alone." ā€

"No, Nataya, you can't go alone. "This is a world of war, and the strength of one person cannot compete with the army. Moreover, the army of our Demon Hunter Order has just obtained the Light, and we need to take them to gain combat experience so that they can grow into true Light Warriors. ā€

"It doesn't matter. Nataya shrugged her shoulders and said, "Now we have just a few soldiers in South Shore City, bring a few with me, and I promise not to let them die." ā€

Annia nodded, and said to Edward, "Your Majesty, you also need to lead the team out to see if there are any resource points and weapons and equipment that can be used in our territory." The map is rudimentary, and if we can, we need someone to draw a detailed map of the territory. ā€

"And what about you?" Edward nodded.

"I'm going to stay in South Shore and keep it safe. At the same time, I also found that the agriculture here is very backward, and many crops that can be used as food are not recognized, which is my strength, and I will teach the farmers here to grow more crops and increase the food production here. Annia explained, "Don't worry, my majesty, as long as you don't leave the area of your Light Mark, I think you'll soon be able to sense the situation in Southside City. ā€

Seeing that Edward nodded in agreement, Annia clapped her hands and said, "That's all our tasks in the near future, as for the things in Southside City, I will arrange them." ā€

............

Edward rode Alan on the road west of Southside City. He was followed by ten pikemen, ten crossbowmen, and five swordsmen, including Gok.

Edward's interest was high, and he was intrigued by the beginning of the world, and he enjoyed expanding a stronghold from a small city to a presence large enough to affect the entire world. Like the Demon Hunter Fortress in Middle-earth, the Rivendell Fortress in Azeroth, and the Willen Fortress in the Wizarding World. And in this world, Southside City is his new stronghold.

From the moment he left Southside City, Edward experienced the chaos of this world. Not long after their unit left Southside City, they were attacked by many strange wild creatures on the road. Edward was not kind to these wild creatures, not only exterminating them, but also following their trails to find and destroy their nests.

To Edward's surprise, he also harvested a lot of things from the lair of these wild creatures, such as wood, ore, crystal, mercury and other resources, and sometimes even some weapons and equipment.

It had only been less than half a day since he left Nanbin City, and the carriage that followed the team was full of trophies. And Gork, who traveled with Edward, was equipped with new armor and a long sword, which made the swordsman captain smile from ear to ear......

"Your Majesty, look over there!" as Edward's party advanced to a small hill, Gock pointed to a building not far away, "There is a one-eyed treasure house, the biggest threat to our southern coastal city, it is inhabited by many cyclops, and the nearby cyclops like to hide what they have harvested there, do you want to ...... it?"

"Destroy there!" Edward jumped off of Alan's body, squinting his eyes, "You follow me, Elan stays outside, and doesn't let a cyclops escape."
