Chapter 9: Kingdom Rising from Desolation
After dozens of days of arduous journey, Vaerik finally arrived at the Crimson Tide Domain with his caravan.
However, what greeted his eyes was a desolate wilderness devoid of life.
"What a backwater place," a knight from the south muttered, looking at the scene before them.
Vaerik didn't respond, but dismounted and slowly surveyed the surroundings.
Barren, dilapidated, lifeless - the entire land was silent, with even weeds rarely seen. It was indeed a desolate place.
But Vaerik, with his intelligence system, was certain this land was a hidden gem with many resources.
Geothermal energy, minerals, fisheries, and vast tracts of arable land.
As long as someone was willing to develop it, this place would become a land of wealth.
"This place will eventually become the most prosperous territory in the Northern Province," Vaerik murmured, as if making a promise to himself.
So without wasting time, Vaerik began issuing pioneering orders.
"First set up temporary tents. We'll start building houses after confirming the residential area. We can start cutting timber to prepare."
