The next morning, when the people of the Land of Waves woke up, they found everything clean and tidy, with no sign of yesterday's battle.
At this moment, the people of the Land of Waves gathered at the city gate, where a notice board read:
"Yesterday, the Feudal Lord, for the survival of the Land of Waves, unfortunately died in battle against Gato. Today, Kisuke Takahashi temporarily takes the position of Feudal Lord. At the same time, the Land of Waves announces the lifting of sea transport restrictions. To help the people, boats will be sold at the port. By order of the Feudal Lord's Mansion!"
The people of the Land of Waves didn't understand politics, but they understood that lifting sea transport restrictions would make their lives better. Even those who understood glanced at each other but said nothing. Life under Gato had been too hard, and they didn't want any more trouble.
Inside the Feudal Lord's mansion, Kisuke sat in a chair, Koga stood beside him, and Kuroba, Zero, and Chimoku stood in front, listening to Kuroba's report.
"After yesterday's battle, the samurai squad and guard squad have a total of 850 people. Although many are new recruits, the fact that they survived yesterday's battle means they can still be useful."
"The Feudal Lord's mansion has 30 million ryo, Tamaki Ran had 2.21 million ryo, and Gato had 1.141 billion ryo, totaling 1.173 billion ryo."
"The Land of Waves currently has 51,000 people, 7.2 million kilograms of food, and 200 boats."
"Gato's company is in the Land of Fire. Since we have no one in the Land of Fire, Gato's company there is currently unknown."
Listening to Kuroba's report, Kisuke got a general idea of the Land of Waves' situation. It was clear that Gato alone could support the entire Land of Waves, showing his immense wealth.
The Feudal Lord's wealth was low because he spent money recruiting people. When the previous Feudal Lord was alive, the Land of Waves only had 500 samurai. The Feudal Lord had recruited a full 1500 people to guard against Gato.
"800 samurai and 20 Katana Robot Soldiers will all be added to the samurai squad, under Kuroba's command. The Feudal Lord's mansion will be guarded by Koga leading the Combat Robot Soldiers. From now on, the port is open. Chimoku will lead the Gun Robot Soldiers and 150 samurai to control it. Zero will lead the Sniper Robot Soldiers to the Land of Fire to gather information."
"Also, Chimoku, sell the boats, half-price or even give them away. Just keep a few for backup."
Chimoku was the first LQ001 Gun Robot Soldier, and Zero was the first LJ001 Sniper Robot Soldier, and also the only female robot soldier. Kisuke was surprised by this, he hadn't expected robot soldiers to have genders, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
After giving orders to everyone, Zabuza and Haku arrived at the Feudal Lord's mansion. Zabuza entered the main hall and was quite surprised by everyone's appearance.
At this moment, Koga, Kuroba, Zero, and Chimoku were all in black army uniforms, with golden triangular badges on their shoulders, holding their weapons. Each stood very tall and straight, looking imposing.
Kisuke also wore a black army uniform, with a white cloak draped over his back, on which a golden triangle was printed. He sat in the chair, looking very solemn.
Kisuke saw Zabuza and waved him over. "This is Zero. She will take people with you to the Land of Fire to take over Gato's company. When you return to the Land of Waves, you can choose whether or not to become stronger."
Zabuza looked at Zero, said nothing, and as he was about to leave the Feudal Lord's mansion, he suddenly said to Kisuke, "If you can help me get revenge on the Hidden Mist Village, I will serve you."
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Kisuke to reply.
Kisuke looked at Zabuza, said nothing, and then told Kuroba to go to the camp to train the samurai, and Chimoku to oversee the entire port.
After they all left, Kisuke opened the Core summary:
Master Name: Kisuke Takahashi
Item Name: Mechanical Core
Item Level: World Secret Treasure
Main Power: Energy Change
Buildings: Lotus of Energy, Energy Conversion Pool, Fully Automatic Machine Factory [Locked], Civilization Lab [Locked], All Things Research Center [Locked], Library of Truth [Locked]
Energy Points: 1428
Civilization Spark: 0
Now that he had the Land of Waves, he could begin large-scale changes, and the first goal was the Fully Automatic Machine Factory. The Fully Automatic Machine Factory needed 1000 energy points to unlock.
Kisuke looked at his energy points and unlocked the Fully Automatic Machine Factory. At the same time, he gave an order to the Core: "Make four Level 1 Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers."
The Mechanical Core emitted four blue lights. A blurry shape appeared within each blue light. Light points continuously flowed in, and the shapes gradually became real, growing bigger until they were the size of normal people.
"Level 1 Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers, made."
The Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers wore yellow worker uniforms and hats. Unlike the combat robot soldiers, their hands had no weapons, relying on their own abilities.
[Type: Fully Automatic Robot Soldier]
[ID: GQ001]
[Level: 1]
[Skill: Material Transformation]
[Weapon: None]
[Talent: Machine Made, Doesn't Fear Death, Doesn't Feel Pain, Always Loyal. If the Machine Heart isn't broken, the robot soldier won't die. If the robot soldier is destroyed, it can be brought back or rebuilt based on how complete it is.]
[Upgrade Needed: 50 Energy Points]
Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers were a perfect type of support unit. Their skill was Material Transformation, which allowed them to change materials into whatever they wanted. As their level increased, they could transform more and more things.
"GQ001 Level 1 Fully Automatic Robot Soldier, reporting!"
"GQ002 Level 1 Fully Automatic Robot Soldier, reporting!"
"GQ003 Level 1 Fully Automatic Robot Soldier, reporting!"
"GQ004 Level 1 Fully Automatic Robot Soldier, reporting!"
With these four voices, four Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers appeared before Kisuke.
"GQ001, from now on you'll be called 'Yamahai'. The other Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers will follow your orders."
"Yes, Master."
"Alright, lead them to the North Camp and build the Fully Automatic Machine Factory."
"Understood."
"How long will it take you few to build the Fully Automatic Machine Factory?"
"With enough resources, and our current abilities, it should take about three days."
"Good, you have three days to build the Fully Automatic Machine Factory."
"Understood, mission guaranteed."
Yamahai and the other Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted. After saluting, Yamahai led the three Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers to the North Camp.
The four camps were specially designated by Kisuke. The North Camp was for building the Fully Automatic Machine Factory, the East Camp for building army barracks, the South Camp for building the Energy Conversion Pool, and the West Camp for building the Lotus of Energy.
Kisuke turned to Koga and said, "Koga, have two robot soldiers transport the resources from the Feudal Lord's mansion to the North Camp. Don't delay the Fully Automatic Machine Factory's progress."
"Yes, Master."
At this time, the town of the Land of Waves was bustling with people, as if it had returned to its former peaceful days.
