Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 110: A Visit To Headquarters (Part 2)
maybe you are wondering, why would I want to have a private elite army.okay, even if you are not curious, I will still tell you, hahaha.ekhem. I am a little enthusiastic about this, many reasons, but one of the most important is to secure my assets that will be spread throughout.
I am not very interested in power, although I will not refuse if given. I felt it would be more useful if I built a lot of companies that people would not be able to live without. suppose by buying a lot of land and mastering agriculture so that in the end you will be in control of the food supply.
well, it was terrible indeed.and in my previous life, this kind of practice was commonplace.these large companies bought farmland which in the end made food access so limited.
would I do the same? maybe yes, but for what purpose? for no apparent reason at all, I felt that it was, for some reason, I needed. Of course, in the future I would have many assets in various forms. and so that my possessions are not taken away by anyone, I need an army that can guard them.
that's the reason why I look at having my own elite Private soldiers, especially in this era, is so important. Without them, I probably wouldn't be able to make sure all my 'goods' were safe, after all, I want to focus on looking after my family, that's the main goal of my life right now, I don't want a divided focus.
wait wait wait wait! I don't know why I feel like the conversation is getting grim, do I? all right, let's go back to my usual personality! cheerful, innocent, and innocent! of course, kind and helpful.
after being satisfied to look around the building that became one of the centers of activity, Hudson and I went to the training arena.the training arena is a field that is so vast, the soldiers were trained with various martial skills, physical and mental endurance, survival, and war simulation.
now, in front of me, approximately 800 soldiers are undergoing battle simulation.Eh, this is more like Battle Royal. Well, whatever the name is, they look excited and enthusiastic. after more than an hour, the simulation was finally over. All the soldiers took a short break from fatigue.At first Hudson wanted to collect them because of my arrival.
if in the end my presence actually interfered with their schedule, it is better to assume that I did not exist.after all, my arrival here is not to be welcomed and respected.
but even though I said that, still Hudson stubbornly gathered them together.he said a soldier should see the leader.Alright, just do as you please. Hudson called out to the soldiers and they immediately gathered in a neat line.
"All right, by my side, as you now see, he is the real master of you. Mr. Issac R Starfall. I do not know how to describe the magnitude of his power, but if all of you advance one by one or with your full strength, the result is the same.you have no chance of winning."
a rowdy voice emerged from their ranks.O-okay it's natural considering Hudson said it like that.They here are strong people, who also only want to be led by people who are stronger than them. realizing that their master was not Hudson but a 14-year-old little boy must have disappointed them.
well, if it's like that, I just have to show that I'm much stronger than everyone here. I inhaled a breath and took out a tenth of my magic power that transformed into an extremely strong pressure.The pressure made all the soldiers and instructors kneel, fall down, fall down, and feeling suffocated to the point that they thought they wouldn't be able to live if this continued for a minute.
the soldiers and Hudson breathed a sigh of relief. They were like they had just escaped Death.I'm sorry okay? take it easy, I can't kill you! uh, but it depends if anyone betrays me I'll hang.
okay enough to just get here.at least I'm satisfied to see this headquarters. I asked Hudson to take me to the administration building. There are some things I want to talk to him about. Hudson nodded and led me to his study.
"So Hudson, thank you for taking me around. Good job. Now, there are a few things I want to talk to you about." I sat down in front of Hudson who was also sitting at his desk.
"First, I don't see any health facilities here.it's my fault for not designing it before. Nor did I think of it at first. So, I want you to make it. find the best healers you can get and hire them here.
secondly, I want you to build a weapons factory here. You guys have been buying weapons from outside, right? it was also fine, but, it would be best if a portion of our weapons were supplied by our own blacksmiths. ask VIESTA for help to find a blacksmith who has no place or capital and bring them here.
also for that, I will try to secure some of the mine areas that are in the Heinz kingdom's territory.so there is no need to worry about where the metal needed for the weapon came from.
well I think that's it for now. I'll give you the funds needed later after you make the estimate along with your subordinates.as well, don't forget to provide transparency and proof of use of the funds I gave you, okay?"
Hudson nodded. "Okay sir, I have understood what you want.I will get it done as soon as winter passes."
a good! I'm happy to have a competent and reliable subordinate like Hudson. Okay, my business here is done, I guess? it was also late in the afternoon, it was time for me to return to the city.It seemed that Black Tiger was also waiting for me in the field.
after saying thank you to Hudson, I got on my horse-drawn carriage and walked towards Romeon city. Because I haven't been here for a long time, I decided to spend at most one Sunday here, taking care of the mansion. Dad was a bit careless because it had not been back here for a long time so I guess, there are quite a lot of things taken care of huh.
I stretched my body. Yeah, I hope no problems await the Randall family.
