Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546
This once haunted manor has vividly demonstrated the principle of "extremes meet".
Back then, without possessing Undead Divinity, the area was shrouded in dark mist, exuding a very ghostly aura.
Now, with over forty points of Undead Divinity, ordinary people feel no trace of it, as though it is no different from a regular manor.
Only those who have stepped into the realm of the Transcendent can sense its uniqueness; every brick, stone, and plant here is permeated with a powerful force, and even the most inconspicuous shadow harbors Strength.
If the master here so desires, with just a thought, this place can slip into another world, becoming even more terrifying than Guaiyu.
Return to simplicity.
This adjective can be applied not only to people, but also to objects.
Weizemay Manor is now in such a state, representing its exceptional control over its own power, with Negative Energy not easily dissipating.
No outsiders are seen here anymore, including the Holy Warriors from the Hammer of the Holy Light Abbey.
As its own development progressed, Gaven abandoned some businesses, the foremost being the ghost house enterprise of Weizemay Manor.
Although the Fear energy collected in the process had the power to enhance the Shadow servants of Weizemay Manor, the effect was too slow; how could it compare with the high-quality servants brought by a war? How could it be more expedient than Shadow servants obtaining Professional Level Experience while creating value?
And as a prison for imprisoning enemy Souls, the importance of Weizemay Manor keeps increasing, and allowing many strangers to come and go would leave opportunities for its enemies.
Such situations are not exceptional, and as development continues in the future, countless wrong paths and divergences will inevitably be encountered, requiring some energy to be wasted to readjust the direction forward.
Therefore, even when the Conqueror Army reached the Three Rivers Region, this place remained cold and quiet, while the hustle and bustle lay five kilometers away at Weizemay New Village, but Gaven chose to spend most of his time here.
He didn’t become extraordinarily busy due to becoming the acting Lord of Battle Valley; on the contrary, he appeared much more relaxed than when the Conqueror Army was on the road, needing only to spend one to two hours a day to concentrate on handling various administrative affairs and articulating his suggestions.
The long journey of three thousand five hundred kilometers can change a lot of things.
It can endow the immigrants with many excellent qualities — perseverance, mastery of cooperation, honing of combat skills, and so on.
It’s also a perfect avenue for talent selection; those mediocre or armchair generals unable to handle various emergencies along the way have been eliminated early, while those capable will shine, even in ordinary positions, and soon be promoted.
If arriving at the City of Faith was the most basic screening.
Then, the time from the City of Faith to Battle Valley is choosing the best among the best.
Many of the moderate medium and low-level officers gradually were left at the reopened Ghost Castles along the route, becoming rulers of a village or a castle, which represents the limit of their displayed abilities, unless they encounter some miraculous opportunity, their lives will end here, and they will step onto the path of the Knight nobility.
If folks from Thacel had some roots, they would bring over a portion of their relatives to establish their family, while those without roots would form families on the spot, using their current village or town as the base to slowly develop their family.
This is the usual development process for Humans in the wilderness, even the Conqueror Army led by Gaven is not exempt from this convention.
Gaven had no intention of implementing any democratic election or consortium form; he intended to use a similar noble governance system to Thacel and the Komeer Kingdom.
What kind of political system to enact is often decided by the larger environment, not just a result of someone whimsically making a decision.
The entire environment of Felen is one of noble governance, composed of either the noble class, or the Knight class, wealthy merchants, or Slave Masters.
The main immigrant force carried by the Conqueror Army from Thacel has been under the Monarch’s enfeoffment system rule for nearly a millennium, highly recognizing the Knight nobility. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Going with the flow is naturally the most time-saving and effort-saving approach, while issues such as civilization advancement are temporarily outside Gaven’s focus; they are matters for consideration only after the basic needs have been satisfied.
Of course, he wouldn’t just replicate the governance model of Thacel or the Komeer Kingdom; he would definitely integrate many elements of his own, making it easier for him to centralize power and concentrate a large amount of Strength for grand projects like building the Conqueror Path.
This portion was to be completed by the people he brought back to Weizemay New Village, as could be seen from the large number of buildings Gaven was preparing in Weizemay New Village.
At least half of these immigrants would be in a situation without farming work—buildings were never prepared for those farmers, but rather for the workers not engaged in agriculture.
And Weizemay New Village’s food supply, in the short term, would be sourced from purchasing in friendly valleys like Mist Valley, Deep Forest Valley, and Feather Wing Valley.
After two to three years, the output from the rebooted ghost towns and villages will be enough to supply a city with a population of one hundred thousand.
Those best-selected medium and low-level officers were continually promoted, and after Gaven became the acting Lord of Battle Valley, they formed the core of the new Battle Valley ruling class.
