Chapter 129 - The Old Arena (3)
So, let’s review all we have to do here.
First, the main goal, which is to secure the area so we can begin training our new army as soon as possible.
It involves some steps. The first one was to get rid of the bandits that had nested here. Well, those bandits turned out to be a secondary problem that I’m still to solve, so let’s set that aside.
I mean, we ’took care’ of them in the sense that they are under our control right now. Even after we discovered that they aren’t actually real bandits, just normal people trying to survive on the brink of starvation. I can set the quest to ’done’ with the caveat that it generated a side quest.
The second step was to investigate the possibility of the beastkin living within the facility. If they decide to join us, of course.
The short answer is ’no.’ The long answer is that it also generated a side quest, which is to do something with the bodies of the people who were left to die inside that place.
But at least they are already dead. We’re going to deal with them, but it comes last in our list of priorities right now.
"Lovelace, could you close that big gate? I can smell them from all the way here. We’ll deal with them after we solve all the other issues."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lovelace is so cute when she is in work mode in front of other people from the kingdom. She becomes so conscientious about titles and such.
Well, then we have the third step of securing the place. Which is to procure something that can serve as an anchor to create a gate that leads from the palace directly here.
That is so everyone can come directly here from the palace without raising suspicions about this place in particular.
