Den glanced strangely at for a brief mont as it seed he had quite a struggle to retrieve such info. "I think I slept all the ti, but when I was woken up, I heard a strange sound in my head telling I was evaluated and was deed a loser, so I would be sent out to help other winners for the well being of mankind."
I knew what he was talking about, the system spoke to him then. As I thought from before, the system was the one pulling the strings from the shadows, but for what purpose?
"Never mind, you are here now. Let's just enjoy this walk to the place where we will restart from scratch."
"Did my esteed lady establish a place for herself already?" he asked with much anticipation, however he was dood to be disappointed.
"No, but I intend to start once we reach there."
"There is where?" he asked with a loss over his face, and I didn't bother explaining everything to him. I wasn't like Shin.
"A place I selected, soon we will arrive there and you will like the scenery there."
"The scenery?!!"
""
I remained silent for the rest of the journey. Midway though the demons appeared coming from far. "Good job, go back then and grab every single corpse you can carry and follow ," I said, as I regretted not telling them to bring the stretcher with them.
They moved like controlled puppets, disappeared into the distance. Their appearance was still sothing my new people didn't get used to, making giggle on their scary faces and weird reactions.
The journey ho took around a couple of hours, mostly because those following were burdened by what they were carrying. The demons did the trip three tis already, and when I reached the place I selected from before, they ca back for the fourth ti, carrying less amount than before.
"Nice, we managed to carry everything from the battle," I smiled in content before turning to Den as I ordered: "From now on you will work as the head of the military. If I found a more capable person then you will act as his vice, but for now you are responsible for selecting the best youths and starting their training."
"Training by what and for what?" Den asked, while stealing a glance towards the two huge behemoths standing behind like two hills. "Don't bother with them, plus our enemies are much more vicious and nurous than just a few monsters," I replied in a decisive tone, trying to act tough.
I hated to be questioned, especially from such a weak ignorant Den!
Just as I turned to glance at the stunning scenery, while I was standing in the sa position as before, overlooking the wide and deep valley with that distant stream of water, the system didn't let enjoy this mont of peace as it said:
"Ding Dong! Congratulations, you completed the task of saving the humans and led them back safely towards the place you selected to build your village at. Your performance is outstanding, and you gained the right to obtain three types of buildings freely with the village establishnt, plus triple the resources supplied by the system for your new village."
"Ding Dong! You can now start building the village using the token. Just put a drop of your blood on the token and it will be transford, ready to use."
I sighed before rembering sothing. "Will I have levels here? like the ga I ca from?"
"Ding Dong! No, you aren't a player anymore, you are a human trying to survive and thrive."
""
I didn't reply over its words as I glanced again at this scenery. The place was really a beauty, but to be fair this wasn't the ideal place to start any settlent.
Although I didn't colonize while I was playing in the Destiny ga, I had my own share of experience regarding that from the old days back at my kingdom.
I knew the simple things like location, water supply, the surrounding natural terrain, and the presence of certain resources was sothing crucial that would determine the fate of any settlent even before building it!
Despite this place's beauty, I couldn't help myself to think of its weaknesses! It wasn't well defended with this wide valley in front of , and this hill acted as a major weakness; if controlled by my enemies then the village down below would be dood.
There was no water supply nearby except for that distant river, and there were no resources! No forest, no mountains, or even special ores.
This place was far from making satisfied. I glanced over Den, to find him making a tour around the humans here trying to select his best candidates.
"You stay here and defend the area against any monster attack, and you co and kneel," I ordered the demoness to stay back and guard, while the demon moved to , knelt as I jumped over its shoulder as I sat there. "Move there towards that river," I ordered, as the first thing I needed to check here was that river.
The demon moved as a behemoth amidst the curious glances of many, while I didn't care to give any explanation to anyone. The demon moved with great speed heading towards the front, descending the hill directly towards the deep valley.
The valley looked more spacious than it was from far, and it was full of green plants and grass. That was good news as this ant the area here was fertile, but I didn't hurry to judge until I explored that river.
And I was right to wait!
The first thing I discovered was that the further I went towards the river, the deeper the valley was. The sides turned from being small lining to towering walls, ending up to be like giant mountains.
This wasn't a valley, it was a passage, a passage with a sloppy descending route, making any force coming from the exit I ca from, marching on the sides of these naturally made mountains be mighty and invulnerable.
And if a force was defending this, sigh; it was impossible even to think about it, a scary thought in itself.
The river was distant, much further away than I initially thought. When I reached the river, I found it so wide that it wasn't easy for to accept it was a river.
