Chapter 29: Harem Link
'Looks like building a Temple isn't optional,' Hiro thought.
But for him, it wasn't an immediate priority either. Shelter and other basic necessities took precedence.
"Okay. We'll build a Temple once we have more manpower from new refugees. For now, I have more important work for you all."
Everyone focused on Hiro.
"Bob, I want you to build a barracks first. It doesn't need to be anything fancy—just a large room where people can sleep."
Hiro wasn't referring to a military barracks. His idea was simple. New citizens would temporarily occupy the barracks. Constructing personal homes for everyone wasn't high on his list of priorities.
Bob nodded, understanding Hiro's reasoning.
Hiro turned to the Shuvlok group. "All of you, except Shuvsan, will help Bob with the barracks. You'll follow his instructions and won't give him a hard time. Do you understand?"
Shuvsan was the Scout, and Hiro had other plans for him. The tribesmen nodded reluctantly, their faces unintentionally menacing as they shot brief glares at Bob.
It wasn't exactly their fault— their naturally harsh expressions made even neutral looks seem intimidating.
"And Bob, you can use them however you see fit. Cutting wood, transporting it, splitting it, holding logs in place... whatever you need. Don't let their scary faces bother you. I'm far more terrifying than them," Hiro said with a reassuring smile.
