Chapter 332 - 333 – Ox man’s recruited.
After the talk with the chieftain Abberia concluded, he went back to his village and after sometime had passed, he had managed to convince his tribe to swear a loyalty to us.
Honestly, even after all that, I still have a bit of distrust to them all and its not only me really who feels that way and I think Abberia knew that more than anyone else.
Anyway, they know they need to earn our trust as well as other way around, so for now we will be working with each other.
And here is the first problem…. Abberia didn't lied about state of his tribe. They were both exhausted and injured. Those guys are strong, but at their current state they would be only dragging us down in battle.
And the current problem is that we cannot leave them in their current village, since even after getting rid of metal gorillas problem for them, there are still other problems and if that feathered dragon guy makes a move there, they may end up getting annihilated.
Our base can store some of the ox man's, but the problem is that their entire tribe is quite big in terms of numbers, even after losing over the half of their total population after the feathered dragon launched their attack.
But we got somewhat lucky, since we had managed to obtain both a "Space" that was also hidden.
I'm talking here about the metal gorillas homes.
We were planning on temporarily using them as storing location where we would store our manmade monsters like golems or undeads.
However, we can use those hidden locations to help out ox man's to hide until we are ready to welcome them in our base.
As for food? The ox man's are fine with anything and not only that, but each of the metal gorilla bases had some food stored and even the meat from the metal gorillas is eatable…. Well, it doesn't taste very good or anything, but it's not extremely bad where you cannot eat it.
We will also provide ox man's with some other food in order to help them out recover more.
We had also lent them some of our forces like the undeads and golems to defend them.
There were few ox man's who were in somewhat good condition, so they were put on the farm work and honestly… They were good at it? They ox man's body build and their stamina as well as other stuff about them makes them perfect farmers? Honestly, even there were surprised that they were so good at farming since all things they farmed so far were just some medical herbs and other useful plants.
As for other things?
With the disappearance of the 3 main bases of the metal gorillas in this area, the metal gorillas have straight up went chaotic.
Many were scared and run away while some tried attacking us uncoordinated, resulting in their quick and easy deaths.
There are some remains here and there, but they no longer possess any threat to us or even ox man's.
And with those bastards finally off our backs, we were finally able to speed up our base construction.
There is also the fact that we had obtained a massive amount of undeads that I partially handed over to our guild, allowing our forces to grow stronger. I will probably hand over more of the undead metal gorillas as our base grows. However, I will keep some of them for myself since I want to…. "Mess around" a bit with them.
Beside obtaining huge amount of undead, we had also obtained a lot of materials from these bastards, meaning we can mass produce many armor and weapon sets from them that we can possibly equip ox man's with as well as other troops.
However, the only down side to all this are materials.
We are building our base using the materials from this place like stones or those special trees, but that is not enough. We are still making materials from the stuff we had digged out as well as cut down, but sooner or later it won't be enough with how fast our base would be exploding. We don't need now, but we will need to have some materials and it would be best for us if we obtain them soon.
Its time to plunder the empire resources once again.
AND THERE JUST HAPPENED TO BE AN PERFECT TARGET NERBY!
Dabario City!
The city where we first officially appeared in and declared our war on the empire in.
Currently, this city is under repairs, meaning that we can find a LOT of construction materials in there. And those materials could be VERY useful for our base construction and we could also destroy the settlement they are trying to restore that is near our base. We completely wrecked that place, straight up destroyed it and make it completely unhabitable, meaning that they would need to use a lot of resources to restore that place and those resources are something we want.
However, there are obviously some problems.
The first problem is that we would be attacking the location near our base, AGAIN.
It could be quite problematic for us, since it could give them hint where we are.
So, the best idea would be to do at least 3 different assaults on 3 different location that one at least includes Dabario city.
With our current strength is possible and me and Blueberry can throw in the undead in golems to give some chaos here and there, making extremely hard for them to pin point our location.
However, problems and problems.
The first problem is that we maybe have the "Ruler" on our backs, that feathered dragon guy.
There could be a chance that he could make a move while we are outside our base and there is also the fact that the current time is also the perfect time to quickly claim new territory in order to expand our base.
The only positive thing about the situation is that the state of the Dabario city being completely ruined, meaning that repairing that place should take them sometime…. But this is a world of sword and magic so you can obviously use stuff like magic and tamed or created monsters to help out in construction just like how we are doing right now. We expanded and build our base extremely fast and not only that, but thanks to the Blueberry abilities as well as her abilities to create the golems, puppets and toy monsters, she could create various type of workers that could do multiple or specific jobs, boosting up our construction time even more.
However, who says that empire does not have any people with similar abilities? The empire does wields a battle golems and stuff, so why wouldn't they use construction golems as well?
And its not like the restoration started today or something.
Still, their restoration process will be definitely slow down since the area there is quite dangerous and after the destruction of the Dabario city, the monster infestation had been popping up here and there since nobody was hunting monsters there, allowing them to grow both stronger and in numbers.
However, that doesn't mean they cannot handle it. It will slow them down, but can we attack them WHEN they are still repairing?
….
Depending on how things goes, we maybe be forced to not attack Dabario city during the time it's getting repaired.
However, we obviously cannot leave Dabario city alone, since its location is too close to this great danger zone, meaning that we will have to destroy it no matter what.
But it would be ideal if we could destroy it WHEN the repairs are happening and there are a lot of construction materials present on the scene.
Still, we should be grateful that we had at least recruited a huge and powerful force known as ox man tribe.
However, they are currently useless since they are both weakened, worn out, sick and injured, meaning that we need to use a lot of resources to help them recover and get them on their two feets.
Thankfully, we had expanded our farms by a lot since we wanted to build a whole army. We had also a lot of food stored thanks to all the hunting we did so far while we were expanding our base.
However, we will need to expand our farms since we just recruited a whole ass tribe of monsters that are also quiet big compare to the regular humans. Meaning that feeding them will use a lot of resources.
Thankfully, the plants we had obtained from the demonic kingdom specialize in growing underground, meaning we can expand our farm by digging underground over and over, probably even creating multiple floors.
But beside expanding our farms, we also need to quickly claim the territory as our own as well as growing our army.
We had somewhat grown our army thanks to all those metal gorillas we had "Recruited", but we kind of need more worker golems and dolls.
It would be also ideal if we recruit more people who we would turn into vampires or something.
We can also try and…. No… Recruiting new players won't work, since we need people that we can trust on this and recruiting randoms won't work.
We also need to prepare regarding the possibility of the feathered dragon appearance, since he could attack us alone OR with army of monsters.
Dammit…. There is so much to do and we could also face various different futures that we don't know with one would happen or when exactly.
We are making progress… But we also encountering more problems as well.
But the question is, when we will finish making this base for real?
