uehfvjfd 8 Assemble the Military!

After reading the book repeatedly Jay felt incredibly dazed. The amount of information put into this small booklet was truly an extraordinary amount. Most information in the book weren't things he was able to understand yet with his very limited amount of magical knowledge however there was some extremely helpful information in there.

After comprehending the things he could comprehend it came down to this: The first mage to touch the book owns the tower. Others wouldn't be able to enter without permission. Once he would have sufficient mana he would be able to freely control things within the tower. And finally, the table he saw before was an enchantment table. And mana would be refilled quicker while inside. There we go that wasn't that complicated!

Oh yeah, and anyone entering through the window would be turned into a shish kebab, roasted and all!

Content with the things he learned he put all the magic booked on the fourth floor before heading outside. It truly was worth it choosing to use the platinum token. He had already decided he would put his bed into the Magic tower and he would gift the mansion to exceptional talents such as Architect Gariel and General Green.

At this point said architect had already taken the initiative to create a basic house blueprint copying the houses already built. Pleasantly surprised Jay then ordered him to start creating a blueprint for a bridge in order to cross the water. After all, currently, they had a forest to get wood and the mountains to get stone and ores so the thing they lacked most now was food.

After giving this command Jay went to the large open spot behind the castle when he used the blueprints to start the construction of Barracks and a Stable. Unlike the previously gifted buildings these each cost resources and took time but since he still had 1000 basic resources this wasn't much of a problem. He simply had to wait a few hours until they were built. Other than this another 10 basic houses were also made, bringing down the total amount of resources to 200 which they would most certainly need for food.

After giving the blacksmiths and the tailor a few basic orders he spent the next few hours studying the basic magic books he bought before. Even though he could cast most basic magic in his previous life, his fundamentals were flawed so he made sure to study diligently.

After a few hours of studying however, he was promptly interrupted.

Grottle Green has requested access to the first floor of the Magic Tower

"Access declined."

After promptly responding to his chip he hurried down. After seeing General Green was covered with cuts and had an arrow sticking through his shoulder his expression quickly darkened.

"What happened?"

The generals' expression darkened as he knelt down, a movement that caused him a lot of pain.

"My lord, About 1 mile inside of the forest there are native green creatures. I killed 2 of them when they attacked me but there were dozens of them coming at once, I managed to lose them before I returned but they are a major threat. There must be at least 50 of them in total."

I guess a situation like that really should scare Jay but instead of that he instead got excited. So the first war would be coming up soon. He also knew he couldn't act rashly after all their only offensive forces were the two of them, an adventurer and a soldier.

After telling the general to take care of his wounds first he once again made his way to the market where he sold the stable blueprint and barracks blueprint for 10 gold each before buying a basic perimeter blueprint which cost a staggering 50 gold reducing the number of gold coins he had to 0.

The basic perimeter blueprint might cost a staggering amount but then again it certainly wasn't a starters item. It would make defending a base many times easier and even provide safety against most wild beasts. Other then this it was also very cheap to build.

After spending another 150 of his basic resources a wooden fence starter erecting out of the ground, with a gate on both the north, south and west side.

However he didn't have the time to simply stand around watching the fence grow. Instead he headed to the barracks before throwing out the 20 farmer tokens he previously bought. As he spawned them himself each of these farmers naturally had the 'Blind Follower' trait which was something he highly valued.

Another hour passed before General Green had recovered enough to start training these farmers. Since the first barracks of a settlement started with 10 swords and the first stable of a settlement started with 10 spears there wasn't any problem arming these farmers.

The problem was time, according to the General's explanation these creatures he suspected to be goblins would probably find them sometime soon. He wasn't sure if the farmers would be strong enough at that point.

All he could do now was strengthen himself and make sure the adventurer and soldier took turns being on the lookout. Meanwhile, he continued studying in the magic tower. In truth, the goblins really did mess up his plant, after all, he intended to use the farmers as woodcutters and miners, to get some resources coming in until they managed to make a bridge to more farmable land.

The rest of the day passed by quickly as he was immersed in his studies and magic practice. In the morning, he did have to go outside in order to receive the first group of settlers. This first group consisted of 5 people 4 of which were basic farmers while 1 was an F grade scientist. After allowing the scientist to start working on whatever he wished he assigned them to 2 basic houses. They seemed happy enough with it as where they came from most of them didn't even have a roof over their heads, leave alone a wall that would protect them from wild beasts.

The one thing that did concern them were the loud screams that came from behind the castle. In reality, Jay couldn't say he wasn't a little worried about those farmers himself. In the evening it became even scarier as no more screams could be heard. Disregarding this Jay did manage to increase his intelligence when reading increasing his Intelligence to 13 while his Mana had also raised to 3 at this point.

It was this night that the Goblins appeared.

Marley Yang has requested access to the first floor of the Magus Tower

Waking up by this announcement Jay nearly jumped out of bed grabbing his spear as he ran downstairs. Opening the door he saw the adventurer that was stationed at the wall. Totally out of breath the man managed to yell out a single sentence.

"The green creatures have arrived, there are at least 50 of them."

Jay didn't pay him anymore mind as he quickly ran into the courtyard behind the mansion where General Green was training on his own.

"ASSEMBLE THE MILITARY WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"
