Chapter 99: Major Developments
With the unexpected increase in the number of people that were in the village, the expansion plan was now very much needed.
The space that they had would be hardly able to house everyone, so Aric needed to start making some quick decisions.
He stood in front of the manor, looking at the Ogres that had responded to the call of their leader Ronan, male and female, all those that had decided to work, and their number was amazing.
"I know many of you have just come here, the day has been stressful to y’all and you have just come from a war in general.
Still, all of you need places to lay your heads, houses to keep you safe from the elements, and that is why we have called you here, to help in the expansion of the village.
I’m sure your prince has already told you that there will be benefits to you being here, and he was not lying.
If you aid us and give us your hundred percent, each of you will have a house built for you and your family. A place where you can stay safely."
The ogres erupted in a loud cheer when they heard that, it sounded too good to be true, but if he said he would, then what other choice did they have but to believe him.
Aric waited for them to stop cheering, and when they did, he continued talking.
"The goblins and the spirits are going to help you know what you need to know, and they will guide you in everything.
Now with that out of the way, I welcome all of you, and I hope that you can all make this into your home," Aric said and walked into the manor.
After he left, work immediately kick-started, Ron immediately divided them into teams. The plan was to remove the current walls, clear up most of the trees and build a network of similar-looking houses. But that was not all, as Aric had decided that they would also start working on the pipeline systems.
