Chapter 1176: Does Not Compute
For a moment, The Clan Chief didn’t seem to know what to say. He had been insulted many ways, by many different people. But the pure audacity of this dragon to tell him that his people lived like savages, when wild dragons roamed the continent, killing and burning as they pleased, was beyond words.
"What rules are you trying to enforce on my Clan?" The Chief demanded, losing patience with Orthos.
The bronze dragon sighed. "Just the essentials of civilized society, as I see that your clan has devolved somewhat since I departed a few thousand years ago.
My guards will enforce the laws against theft, and prevent violence against others wherever they see it.
That is all. For now.
However, there are other aspects of the city that will require attention and maintenance. For example, I fixed the running water situation, but I see that none of the new homes have been built with access to the lines.
At least the public fountains are flowing now.
Also, the sewer lines are repaired, so liquid waste dumped in the street like primitives discovering a lost civilization will flow out of the city. I will have the sanitation wagons clear the solid debris from the street to be disposed of in the incinerator.
We can discuss educating the people about the newly placed rubbish bins later.
This whole place needs cleaning, so I will return here once we have discovered the source of the disturbance that is limiting the System’s activation and resume my role as City Lord."
The Clan Chief roared and charged at Orthos with a spiked club in his hand, but the Bronze Dragon simply transformed and stomped on him, smashing the man into the ground as he glowed with divine light.
Dealing with lawbreakers and troublemakers was the domain of his god, and Orthos was not going to lose a challenge for his city before he even had a chance to clean it or restore order and the rule of law.
