Time passed very quickly, in the blink of an eye 3 months had passed very peacefully, fortunately Feicui Long's prediction this time was fulfilled.
Emma and her team during their process did not have many difficulties, in fact they did not encounter any more lizardmen except small Atoleki teams and some Zumiki, whom they captured and took with them to interrogate and later bring them along.
Basically from them they learned that the attacks had caused great distrust among the lizards making them retreat to their main temporary camp, but that was not the only reason, the other reason is that in this area the Faun tribes have been weakened in an extreme manner, so they do not have as much priority to be attacked nor to accelerate the construction of more supply posts.
Even so, they are patrolling while they wait for the next shipment of resources, before moving a bit farther away, some two or three kilometers, even so they would not leave this area until the faun tribes are eliminated and according to the reports more fauns have begun to come out, the teams that patrol are to eliminate them.
This also helped them capture fauns and faun males alive, Feicui Long was extremely happy because this would also help him with his plans, after all he also planned to take control of a faun village.
And so he did, the number of lizardmen they had went from 30 to 70 at once, although 40 of them are Atolekis and they obtained 30 faun males and 15 fauns, a good amount, which on top of that helped him greatly with his plans.
With the golems and his undead working without rest plus the workers they already have an incredible construction speed, Feicui Long who is not an idiot, ordered the lizardmen and the fauns to help in the constructions, this by itself accelerated the speed to a new level.
So much so that in these three months the first barracks building was completed, the new large and spacious stables for energy beasts and creatures were completed, new houses were built, the inn and tavern.
But the most important thing was the lizard village, which was erected a few meters outside the protection formation, there granite houses were built, along with defensive palisades, as well as watchtowers, traps and pits, practically it is functioning as one of the entrances to the village.
Additionally they made a lot of money or that is what he would love to say, in general they only made 5 to 7 platinum coins, even so during that time everyone continued working at maximum capacity.
He himself focused on improving the faun leader, placing an illusory formation on him and giving him soul energy stones, with the hope that his soul would awaken ahead of time, unfortunately he stayed at the edge, but the faun leader had improved greatly, not only in appearance he looks like a normal person, but his endurance and intelligence are greater.
Feicui Long repeated this process with the other fauns even the illusory formation and also with the undead lizardmen, being improved to new levels, although with the exception of the female lizard alpha, the rest have moderate intelligence for a common undead, in addition to slightly better statistics, the lizard alpha ended up with power very similar to the faun leader.
After that he continued with improving the golems, his beasts and thus worked on several other projects, new artifacts, medicines, carving inscriptions, negotiations, etc.
Even so he managed to make time to spend with his daughters, nieces and Isabella, time that allowed him to relax before focusing again on what was coming.
With all of that, not everything was perfect, although the campaign to attract immigrants has not worked much and that even though the reconstruction of the road is already at 75%, lacking the final stretch, but it is understandable, it is difficult to convince someone to move to a remote village surrounded by dangerous creatures without revealing that it is protected by a formation of almost all the creatures of the surroundings.
That being said, Feicui Long sighed, today finally the day has arrived, he would depart with the captured fauns and the undead fauns to take control of the faun village.
This time he does not bring his army with him, there are only a total of 4 people including himself, he chooses for this mission Gloria, Arianne and… Andrea, the latter was more like advice and a request from Isabella for him to take her best friend.
After all Isabella was going to stay in the village in charge of the part of giving orders and governing with the help of Mariane, Irina, Evelyn and Elise, this time it is not like before, although the enemy cannot invade the village nor threaten them, they do have to coordinate with the lizard village, maintain themselves at the best moment of strength and alert at all times without neglecting the remaining work.
Like the second expansion of the cultivation fields and others, Feicui Long looks Isabella in the eyes and cannot help it, he takes her beautiful face and brings his lips close to then give her a very passionate kiss with tongue, which would last a few minutes, without separating he hugs her and tells her: "I will not take long my love."
Isabella nods and smiles it is the first time in a while that Feicui Long decides to go out for such a long time alone, responding to him she tells him: "Do not overexert yourself darling, take good care of yourself, I do not want to see you hurt again."
Feicui Long nods and leaves, mounting and waiting for Gloria, Arianne and Andrea to mount the wind lizards, which in the three months have been tamed thanks to him and Mariane who did not stop using the taming skill again and again, although curiously they still have not created the contracts.
But that is because since the wind lizards are only half of the available mounts and he does not want to lock them to certain members when he needs many more, especially for missions like these.
In addition to that, it is not that urgent either, the new stables are suitable for energy beasts their fences have a formation that prevents them from escaping and also increases their calm.
Added to that there are two other things, those medals that have the capacity to suppress and help control the beasts thanks to the aura of a subdragon, they were nailed to the fences and together with the use of the taming skill it also increases obedience, calmness, tranquility and decreases the chances of attack or escape, basically with all of this the chances of something happening are to put it in a simple way, almost null.
And as if that were not enough, Mila leaves her gorilla resting a beast with a very strong aura in that stable, which practically acts as a small ruler dominating the stable and making them more docile, but even without the gorilla, Feicui Long leaves Electra, Nyx, Kagetsume or even Sunribit in charge from time to time or even Irina or Alexei leave theirs, so they do not pose any risk.
With that he then has the freedom to dispose of the wind lizards as now, although well…
Perhaps he should have made them practice their mount…
Feicui Long glances sideways at Andrea and Arianne, both still have difficulties maintaining stability on their mounts at high speeds, compared to Gloria who is completely immutable on her lizard, the other two are indeed having a hard time.
…
Andrea is nervous, she would love to say that only a little, but she is really very nervous, thinking that she would be one of the "lucky ones" to be selected for this task, instead of making her feel appreciated, made her feel insecure.
It is not that she did not want to go or was very afraid, but even with all the time that has passed near Feicui Long she does not stop feeling those nerves, when he approaches, when he speaks to her, when he looks at her she feels that fear, those images, those flashbacks of what happened to her with Isabella's ex fiancé do not let her rest…
Sighing while struggling to cling to this beast while she feels how the surroundings become a bit blurry due to the incredible speed it reaches, leaving the trees behind and dodging them as if this were a playground, she says: "Isabella what do you expect with this?"
…
When they are finally approaching the area where the village is, Feicui Long gives the order to stop and makes sure to slow down slowly, then jump off Windy and store her in the tamer dimension.
For her part Gloria dismounts and takes out the pact creature storage medallion and stores the lizard, Arianne and Andrea dismount a bit dizzy and take air to recover, then they do the same, these medallions Feicui Long bought among the things he purchased, especially to compensate for the fact that these lizards do not have an assigned contract.
He looks at the fauns that they brought in the carriages that had to be reinforced with energy materials such as black iron and cyan copper, together with reinforcement inscriptions such as resistance, hardness, among others so that they could be pulled by wind lizards and not break.
Feicui Long gives them the order to dismount and while he summons the undead fauns, finally while guiding the carriages on foot, they walk slowly with great care…
While Feicui Long is distracted looking at the path, he perceives something and sees how the faun leader hastens quickly followed by the other undead fauns leaving him surprised because he has not given any order, then he looks in that direction…
