Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545

These issues are not problems for the Conqueror Army either.

The belief of wanting to get rich, first build roads, has thoroughly embedded itself into everyone’s heart as they journeyed along.

No matter where they settle down in the future, this will inevitably be their core focus for development.

They previously helped widen and renovate the country roads of Mist Valley, so how could they not go crazy building roads once they reach their new home?

Not only will they build, but they’ll be doing major construction.

They’ll not only open up the Rosaville Road directly to the Three Rivers Region, but also the roads leading to each Ghost Castle along the way.

From the newest surveyed map, the newly expanded Three Rivers Highway looks like a branch laden with fruit, with straight village roads connecting one by one to reactivated abandoned estates, castles, and villages.

Residents are dispatched according to the value shown by these restarted castle estates—their size, abundance of surrounding resources, ease of cultivation, and their value to the whole Battle Valley.

At least hundreds, at most thousands, all systematically left as hundred-member teams.

When the Conqueror Army began their journey, whether it’s the composition of these hundred-member teams or the potential disqualification of captains, was still possible.

But after three thousand five hundred kilometers of adjustment and integration, they have become proficient in both offense and defense, strategically laid out, capable of performing various diverse tasks, and any random team exhibits considerable combat strength.

While it might be unlikely they can take on the same number of Regular Army, relying on their formation of vehicles, dealing with wilderness creatures several times their own number is still manageable, and with the Ghost Castles being restored and activated, reinforcements will gradually provide them with more city defense facilities to further enhance their safety index.

They all believe this is just the beginning; as their Lord develops and grows stronger, their villages and towns will not only have more population, city defense facilities will also be further enhanced, possessing their own City Defense Mist Barrier is not an unreachable dream.

There’s still a very small part of Ghost Castles which even the Conqueror Army has to treat with caution, not only did they not station people there, they directly isolated them and set up observation supervision posts for long-term monitoring.

These locations share a common feature, that is they were abandoned due to epidemics.

Even in a world with magic, the destructive power of epidemics is quite terrifying, especially to ordinary people.

Those virulent epidemics often knock people over in large batches before they even realize what’s happening.

Without investigating why those locations were abandoned due to an epidemic and confirming if any traces remain, staying far away is the wisest choice.

There’s room enough in Battle Valley, even at the magnitude of the Conqueror Army, they are still sparsely scattered, barely able to activate the Ghost Castles within a ten kilometer radius around Anvin New Road (Anka Estate - Weizemay Manor).

Developing Battle Valley thoroughly will require more population. Read full story at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩

By the time the Conqueror Army arrived at Weizemay New Village, the population had halved, leaving just twenty-one thousand people, but their capability hasn’t diminished much.

The terrifying construction capability of the Conqueror Army, the massive base of ordinary people’s population, plays only a minor role in this.

If relying solely on manpower, forget fifty thousand people, even a million couldn’t build a three thousand five hundred kilometer road in three months, let alone simultaneously construct cities and engage in warfare along the way.

Dominant in this are the numerous cost-free Spell-Like Abilities, multi-race cooperation, and the application of Magic and Divine Arts.

Remember, at Weizemay New Village there are also twenty thousand Gnolls from Dragon Oak Territory, with one-fourth possessing Dragon Veins and half being Professionals, forming the core backbone of Gaven Dragon Oak District.

These Gnolls arrived at the Valley before the Conqueror Army started their expedition, and since they got here, have done only one thing—city building.

Their city building speed increased in steps.

In the first month, they barely completed the sewage pipeline of Weizemay New Village.

In the second month, they only constructed three five-story buildings.

In the third month, they not only completed fifteen five-story buildings but extended the sewage pipeline by twice the amount.

In the fourth month, more than twenty five-story buildings rose from the ground.

The number of construction Gnolls hasn’t increased, but the quality has undergone earth-shattering changes. When they first arrived at the Valley, various data was less than one-tenth of current levels.

In this, there is the merit of Shanoba Dragon Dog Mutual Aid, as well as the new city’s merit. During the construction process, they accumulated rich professional experience to enhance themselves, though most professions they open are inclined towards life-type experts, technicians, etc., their assistance is real and significant, as Gaven’s initial positioning of them was as construction support.

The arriving Conqueror Army was once again amazed, they didn’t expect Gaven’s promise wasn’t just a boast, but the existence of a brand-new, modern city awaiting them, breaking their understanding with many things here.

The water directly delivered to the top floor—rather than collective tap water pipelines, each building has its own water tank on the roof, where magic has stabilized the Water Creation Spell, producing the purest continuous water source; each water tank can produce enough water for a sufficient daily supply for everyone in the building.

Waste can be disposed of directly within the buildings, flushed away by water.

Each building has its own large communal kitchen, collectively cooking and supplying food—in the short term, their food supply will be communal.

The entire city stays warm in winter and cool in summer, thanks to the Favorable Wind Pearl, the temperature here is stabilized to the most comfortable level for humanoid creatures.

The only flaw is that there are too few buildings, while their numbers are too many; if everyone were to move in, they’d have to fit an average of over twenty people into rooms only eighty or ninety square meters.

Even so, everyone is satisfied, it’s far superior to roughing it outdoors, and everyone knows the current situation is just temporary. Give their Lord some time, equivalent buildings will sprout like mushrooms after the rain, then, even having a home for each household won’t be an unreachable dream.
