477: Chapter 477: The Presence of the Lord 477: Chapter 477: The Presence of the Lord “Alright, it’s just a matter of supervision, quite similar to what you usually do.
You can add assistants in the future and gradually delegate the tasks.” Zhao Guang said sowhat speechlessly.
Financial power should not be given away casually—of course, one must find soone trustworthy for that.
These slaves who have signed contracts, they can be absolutely trusted.
Unfortunately, there are too many such individuals under his command.
As for those from Earth, Zhao Guang did not trust them completely.
There was no helping it; people from Earth had minds that were too shrewd and weren’t necessarily obedient.
Even if orders were issued and rules were laid down, they always found loopholes to exploit.
Let alone others, Zhao Guang was the best at this himself.
So, those people could be used, but they definitely needed to be watched closely, which was entirely different from dealing with natives.
Indeed, the natives had their own advantages, and sotis these could not be equated with others.
“The temporary organizational structure will be like this, and I will continue to supplent it in the future.” Organization was not Zhao Guang’s strength.
However, managing a territory was not the sa as other matters and did not need to be overly complex.
Xi Fei stuck out her tongue, completely unconcerned that Qiao Miya was beside her; after all, the latter was just an old slave.
Qiao Miya also hurriedly bowed his head.
Having been a housekeeper for many years, he knew how to protect himself.
Even though Qiao Miya beca the Internal Affairs Officer, he still doubled as a housekeeper, a role Zhao Guang needed to fill and one Qiao Miya would certainly not give up.
After all, in Qiao Miya’s eyes, this was his true occupation.
The subsequent matters would be delegated.
Zhao Guang just needed to provide a direction.
After Xi Fei left, she took Edos back to the frontier.
“Chief, you’re finally back.
The human Lord didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”
“Silence, from now on Zhao Guang is our Lord.
The Lord has already permitted us to live here.”
“But what about those in the North?” Everyone was still sowhat mistrustful.
“Don’t worry, our Xuanwu Territory is part of the Chirali Empire, even a Legendary Mage wouldn’t dare to touch an empire carelessly.
You all should understand the significance of an empire, right?
If you don’t know, ask soone who does.”
With that, everyone fell silent.
After all, they indeed knew that the Undead Mages were very wary of the powers in the South.
Although so Undead Mages launched probing attacks every year, they never succeeded.
Thinking it over, it seed that they could survive after all.
“Chief, does the Lord have any requirents?” others asked Edos in succession.
Edos imdiately nodded and said, “Yes, the Lord needs a map of the North; we must create one.” With this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Having requirents ant being useful.
But then everyone frowned because making a map was a tricky business indeed.
For those who hadn’t received systematic education, it was already pretty good if they could understand the maps they drew themselves.
“Don’t panic.
While we know our terrain very well, it’s just that we don’t know how to draw maps.
I’ve already spoken with Xi Fei, and she’ll send soone knowledgeable to et with us, to teach us more about it.”
“If that’s the case, then there will be no problem at all.” Everyone felt reassured.
Suddenly, a young Lizardman asked, “Chief, what does the Lord look like?
Is he very imposing?”
Edos thought for a mont and then said with longing, “The Lord…
The Lord has an incredibly commanding presence; one look and you can tell he’s no ordinary person.”
“I’ve seen the Lord once before.
He was wearing clothes made of an unfamiliar material that seed to be fashioned in the style of so bird species.
That Divine Bird’s aura was such that one imdiately felt a sense of worship upon looking at it.”
The chubby penguin with its dumbfounded gaze was sothing this old Lizardman had never seen before.
Listening to Edos’s description, everyone beca imrsed in admiration.
A Divine Bird—could it be that the Lord venerates bird totems?
That was a bit different from their own practices, but it was no matter, they were always ready to accept powerful things.
The gray-skinned Lizardn, long oppressed, were very open to outside influences.
At that mont, soone else spoke up, “But is this really enough?
Just a map seems insufficient.
Is it really okay for so many of us to live here, with more people constantly arriving?”
When they first arrived, there were five thousand of them, but now the numbers had swollen by several hundred more.
At this rate, their numbers would only continue to grow.
“I suggest we form a guard unit.
I’ve heard that the Werewolves have also joined the Xuanwu Territory.” What do you an, heard?
It’s as if they couldn’t see the Werewolves running around each day, even competing with them for Magic Beasts.
Edos frowned then shook his head, “No, forming our own unit would lead to trouble.
Have you forgotten about those who tried to organize an army on the Undead Mage’s territory?”
Everyone bowed their heads.
The Undead Mages were indeed very dominating.
The group that had ford the unit had intended to please the Undead Mages, but ended up being seen as a threat and were utterly eliminated.
That unit still existed in the form of Zombies, continuously waging wars for the Undead Mages.
“We could use the upcoming battle to prove our strength, so that the Lord would then allow them to form a unit.
Anyway, for the ti being, we can only live here temporarily, right?”
Suddenly soone spoke up, and Edos thought it made sense.
Since they were just at the border outpost, as long as they could demonstrate their combat ability, the Lord would naturally notice.
As for those Werewolves, they weren’t nurous enough to guard such a vast defense line.
Thus, it would suffice for them to head west along the river.
Westward was not an area where rchant teams were active; even breaking the ice surface would pose no problem.
“Alright, I’ll discuss it with Xi Fei.” Ti had not been long, but Edos had seen that Xi Fei’s status was much higher than Elena’s.
Even though their aesthetic differences made it impossible for Edos to discern much difference between the two won—one had more fur, the other less.
How could they compare to his kind, who had no fur at all?
When Xi Fei heard Edos’s request, she was quite surprised.
Weren’t they seeking their protection?
How suddenly they wanted to participate in battle.
But if they wanted to fight, it did not seem to matter much; blending with the people of the territory during the battle would make it easier to integrate.
With the establishnt of outposts, Coscola also began to bring the territory’s army to the frontier, one group after another.
