The construction of the small town in the middle of the valley was progressing at a steady pace.
With the addition of the Kobolds who had minimal knowledge about primitive architecture, they could build simple wooden houses, wooden fences, and some things of similar quality. Although somewhat primitive
they were enough to keep us safe from the outside.
First, an optimal area was decided where to put the base, not being too far from the forest but not too close either, after all the Forest was where the main sources of food and materials that could be found in the surroundings were located,
if we made the base too far, the transport of materials would become more and more annoying.
He also needed the food that the fruit trees produced, since although his relatives did not need food to survive, he did need it to maintain himself.
Until I think of a way to produce food,
I would trust the resources of the forest for now.
The Kobolds started by making a stockade around where the base will be built and the buildings around it. This was to delimit the land that would be used to build the base and create a defense against enemies from outside.
According to the Kobolds,
the best thing would be to make two walls, one outside and one below. This brought both benefits and some drawbacks.
The benefits is that if you have an outer wall in case it falls they can retreat to the lower one and slowly retake the outer wall, it also serves as an optimal retreat method.
Consequently,
Manpower has to be allocated to maintain said wall.
Since he didn't have to worry about loyalty or manpower considering his ability, he let the Kobolds do what they wanted.
The only problem he had encountered was insufficient manpower. counting himself,
there were only twelve people who could directly support the construction of the base.
The others did not have the powers to support the construction apart from the transportation of materials, so the progress in the construction of the fortress was advancing very slowly.
The solution was very simple
so he sent his main combat forces to collect "materials". Of course, to avoid trouble and damage to my familiars, I decided to only attack the low level ones (Kobolds, Imps, Goblins), because the strength of the others would be a problem if they attacked in a group.
As the hours passed, a mountain of corpses quickly formed a short distance from the base, staining the ground with blood of different colors.
Once the numbers had reached three units, I told them they could stop.
The amount of corpses in front of him was gigantic,
and it made him remember the large numbers of monsters that inhabited the forest. And that without considering that the more days passed, these numbers would only increase and their strength would increase accordingly.
They needed to hurry if they didn't want to be turned into corpses under the feet of countless of these creatures.
Without even hesitating, he absorbed all the bodies into the Book of Creation.
[Normal Goblin Absorbed x47]
[Normal Kobold Absorbed x51]
[Normal Imp Absorbed x24]
[Beginning Conversion and Reformation]
[Normal Goblin x47 -> x15]
[Normal Kobold x51 -> x17]
[Normal Imp x24 -> x8]
Since the stigma knew exactly what he wanted,
he proceeded directly to turn them into life force to create more familiars.
In order to create each of them, three of them had to be converted just to create one, which indicated how expensive this method was, but at the same time how convenient it was, after all, to create so many using only their strength. life would be very expensive.
There was a wait time of a few hours due to the large number of low level familiars I had created.
So they took the rest of the day to progress on the construction of the fortress, and once the new familiars were created, they were put directly to work.
Since the relatives already had certain memories of his brothers, he did not have to explain anything to them about what they were doing.
"Stigma"
[What's up teacher?]
"because again they are all women"
[Do you dislike it, master?]
"No, but that's not point"
[Okay then] Stigma said emotionlessly,
but for some reason he was sure that he was planning something.
He only hoped that his sanity would endure all of this.
He thought.
With the integration of the new batch of relatives, they were able to advance with the construction of the main buildings of the fortress,
being that the lower wall was finished quickly and the fortress did not have much left to finish.
Obviously those names were too fancy for what they really were, since the [Fortress] was only a two-story building made entirely of wood,
and the wall was just a simple wooden wall with a flat top for easy walking and movement.
It was all very simple because they didn't have much knowledge of architecture, so they did what they could with what they had. In the end, even if they weren't as flashy as they sounded,
they were still doing their duty, so they didn't have to be disappointed with the result.
The next thing was to create the lower facilities, but that would be another time. Since now that the base was built, he wanted to increase the power of the new familiars, so he divided them into groups of five and sent them to fight in the forest.
Each party had to kill at least ten low-level monsters.
The objective of this quest was quite simple, being that it was so that their new familiars could both learn how to fight monsters as well as increase their numbers. After all,
Although the new familiars did gain some knowledge from their older brothers and what they once were (meaning, knowledge from when they were monsters), they had not been enhanced in any way and had the overall strength of their relatives, which was insufficient for their relatives. future plans.
Originally there would be no problem to learn over time, as the Goblin Girl did, who learned to fight alone against monsters weaker than herself and also had enhanced skill and strength in her possession, so her enemies were in trouble. clear disadvantage against her.
He was also able to learn the basics of the art of the sword because his skill just increased his understanding of the art. So he quickly became one of his strongest familiars, not counting abilities.
But now with the monsters getting stronger and stronger,
I couldn't wait for them to learn like that, so I just split them up into groups and leave them on the battlefield without any help.
After all, one of his goals was to raise a small army so he wouldn't have to worry about enemies appearing in the future,
so he needed them to get stronger quickly.
I also told them that if they were in danger to return directly, since I also did not want them to die in a useless battle.
The rest of the day, he spends planning his future plans. Including, of course, the appointment of the main leaders of the Group,
since with the increase of his relatives, he had to appoint and manage an ever larger group.
Since his relatives had their own personalities and thoughts, he couldn't just let them do whatever they wanted, so the naming would be a way for him to manage the group.
Being that the Named were the leaders of the groups of the same race.
There were currently three races in his possession not counting the ones that were created from scratch using his Stigma.
Among these were Goblins, Kobolds, and Imps.
In the group of the Goblins was the Goblin Girl,
while the kobolds were the Four Elite Kobolds, the Imps side would have to think about it before choosing a leader, but that would be in due time.
Apart from them, there were also those that he had created directly, they would all receive a name as well,
but he would have to think carefully about the name of each one of them, so he would take a little more time before settling on one.
While he was thinking of things to do, slowly the subjugation groups came back with various corpses,
which were quickly turned into life force to create even more familiars in the future, but for now he would put it on hold since they weren't needed at the moment.
Once all the relatives returned,
I let them do whatever they wanted while concentrating on training with the Goblin Girl (The first Goblin) and some of the Kobold Girls…. Those names were inaccurate considering that all their relatives of said races are girls, but let's ignore that for now.
The training as expected was regular,
he couldn't compete with any of them, who had been born with the gift of battle since birth, unlike him who had spent his whole life in a peaceful environment and without having to fight.
Maybe he could eventually figure that out, but he didn't have time,
so he came up with a way to bypass that and get power faster. But for that, he had to make some preparations.
With that said, the day is over.
There was only one day left for the start of the second stage.
