Chapter 192: Chapter 193: Planning the Future
 

After discussing it over, Lide decided to let Grote and Betty head back to Green City first, while Emi would return half a month later.

Because the Dawn Mage Tower was about to be completed.

This Mage Tower, which had taken half a year and had been under continuous construction day and night by hundreds of ordinary civilians, seven or eight One-eyed Giants, and over a hundred of the Bloodline, was finally about to be completed.

As the chief architect of the Mage Tower, Emi, of course, would not be absent.

Furthermore, the affairs of the Dark Contract were not something that could be settled in just a day or two.

Letting Grote return first to test the waters, and Betty because of Isa, Isa couldn’t possibly always stay in Dawn City, Spark, the Great Mage, could better assist Isa’s growth.

...

Moreover, the key thing was that Lide now had to find a powerful deterrent for the Crimson Mage Tower openly, though Spark had always been sheltering the Crimson Mage Tower, he couldn’t mobilize this “inexpensive teacher.”

And to subdue the Dark Contract was certainly not so simple; Grote’s combat capability was extraordinary, but compared to Betty, there was still a gap.

Both of them, plus the subsequent arrival of Emi, would inevitably create a formidable trident in Green City.

Now, Dawn City, which had entered a period of development, didn’t need that much high-end combat power. In terms of production, Betty’s role might not even be as significant as a single ordinary One-eyed Giant.

“Harry, keep developing Dawn City. I will provide all the resources needed. I hope that within the next few months, Dawn City will undergo even greater changes.”

At this point, the geographical advantage of Dawn City became evident.

Battle and strife outside, Dawn City would remain unaffected, and development would continue.

This advantage of being distant from external disturbances is one of the biggest strengths of Dawn City,

a dream for all the forces in Glory.

“Agriculture is the most critical project in all development and must be given top priority. Any matter related to agriculture must be dealt with as a matter of urgency,” Lide told everyone, “Agriculture relates to the raiding of the population during the Frost Month, and we must not be careless before the crops are harvested.”

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

The second generation Bloodline members uniformly responded, and under Lide’s repeated emphasis, everyone fully recognized the importance of the matter.

Lide, satisfied with the Bloodline members’ attitude, nodded and continued with the next arrangement.

“The mining operations cannot stop, either. Iron ore is our basic resource and indispensable for both civilian life and military needs. The role iron ore plays in the future will only grow.

The exploration teams must continue searching for veins; we cannot stop at just one, as it’s not enough to satisfy the development needs of Dawn City.

Harry, note this especially, to avoid a shortage of One-eyed Giants leading to a halt in mining operations.

It’s essential for humans to also engage in vein mining; I don’t want to see the mining sites come to a standstill again after the One-eyed Giants are pulled away.”

Due to the One-eyed Giants’ race advantage, they had almost single-handedly completed all the mining operations.

One One-eyed Giant’s work efficiency could match that of fifty or sixty normal people, creating a disparity in efficiency and thus a compelling reason for the mining sites’ disdain for ordinary humans and extreme reliance on One-eyed Giants.

This time, after the One-eyed Giants were reassigned by Lide into the combat sequence, the entire mining site came to a halt, severely affecting the iron mining.

The saying goes, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” As the numbers of One-eyed Giants couldn’t be significantly increased, the role of humans also couldn’t be overlooked.

“Yes, Clan Leader, I’ll inform the construction department right away.”

Harry nodded with a serious expression, realizing the gravity of the situation after Lide pointed it out.

There were too few One-eyed Giants, and there was no alternative source for this non-renewable, rare labor force.

Yet, he couldn’t help but become dependent on these highly efficient production tools.

There was nothing wrong with that, but Harry had overlooked that the One-eyed Giants were not merely production tools but also powerful warriors. In the event of a war, these strong giants would have to join the battlefield.

Lide nodded without saying anything.

After getting used to the high efficiency of the One-eyed Giants, it was indeed hard to feel good about the work efficiency of ordinary humans.

But production resources were limited, and as the One-eyed Giants were even more effective than modern machinery, they played a significant role in Dawn City; therefore, it was impossible to use them all in one place.

Unless he could find more One-eyed Giants, he would have no choice but to involve humans in the mining industries; otherwise, the next time a battle broke out, the mines would face the same predicament as before.

Thinking of this, Lide turned his head to glance outside the window and sighed softly as he looked at Koso’s huge head.

“If only we could get our hands on a batch of One-eyed Giants,” he mused.

Moments later, he shook his head to dismiss the thought; now was not the time for such considerations.

The One-eyed Giants existed, but they were all in the Underworld of Giant Valley, and Dawn City currently lacked the resources to explore the vast Underworld.

He moved on to the next agenda item.

“Dylan must pay close attention to the breeding farms and the Magic Language Bat expansion. I want to see a large-scale participation of Magic Language Bats in the production of Dawn City as soon as possible.”

The recent significant reduction in the number of Magic Language Bats had impacted the construction progress of Dawn City greatly, and Lide attached great importance to this.

“Yes, Clan Leader,” Dylan, a towering figure, stood up and bowed with his hand on his chest.

“Audis and Lucy, you two will work with Harrison’s arrangements, deploying Bloodline where needed.

Ivy and Augustine, assist Harrison in managing Dawn City at the City Hall; I hope you can play an even greater role.”

“Frey, the responsibility of the holy land and the ordinary residents’ blood donations is yours to handle. You must ensure the safety of the blood pools, and the blood donations must not be neglected. I hope the two newly built blood pools can be filled within the next two years.

In addition, no one shall use the Magic Blood of the central blood pool without my orders.”

Lide issued a series of commands in rapid succession.

The second-generation Bloodline immediately rose and saluted.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

Lide scanned the room, observing the spirited expressions on everyone’s faces and felt an inexplicable surge of boldness.

These were the subordinates he had built up bit by bit, the pillars of Dawn City’s future.

Every one of them was a person he absolutely trusted.

“The future of Dawn City lies in our hands; its development requires the efforts of us all.

I hope that each one of you can contribute even more to Dawn City.”

Lide’s deep gaze carried boundless boldness, and the corners of his mouth curled up high.

“For Dawn City!”

Everyone below was taken aback for a moment, then feeling moved, they looked at each other and stood up simultaneously, bowing to Lide with hands on their chests.

“For Dawn City!”

Their voices were in unison, filled with soaring fighting spirit.

Especially the seven second-generation Bloodline who had always followed Lide; they were particularly enthusiastic, firm in their belief that under Lide’s leadership, the Bloodline would seize the future.

All the Bloodline bowed to Lide, while Betty, the Northern Land Valkyrie, somewhat adorably and confusedly sat on her stool watching the sudden scene unfold.

She was still somewhat puzzled by the situation.

Feeling slightly out of place, she thought of saying something but, looking at Lide’s handsome, elegant, and powerful posture, she closed her mouth again.

At that moment, she felt as if she was in the presence of a king of a race, a sovereign with great deterring power.

Not to be challenged.

This wild Valkyrie of noble Bloodline quietly subdued some of her wildness before Lide.
