Chapter 6 - Cleaning the island

After setting everything up now Danis starts to think further, where he has made several targets, including:

1. Exploring all parts of this island, with the intention of of course harvesting the good things on the island, if before he still doubted his safety, now with the help of Maximus as the captain of his soldiers and dozens of other soldiers he feels much safer.

2. Made arrangements to place 2 soldiers on duty to monitor the beach front area, where he expected to still be able to see the large marine animals that would be able to be hunted.

3. He also started the construction of residential houses for his people, which currently has reached more than 100 including his soldiers.

4. Construction of barracks for soldiers who will increase, and of course a place for them to live and train.

5. Opening areas of agricultural land and livestock, although there are no suitable seeds for agriculture yet, at least they can start raising some small animals on the island such as rabbits.

On the 4th morning after Danis moved, at this time in front of the castle Maximus together with 10 soldiers were waiting for the arrival of Danis, to start exploring the entire island area which has an area of ​​100 hectares, if converted to km it will be 1 km² and with various areas of the island, Danis estimated that it would take them 2-3 hours to circle the entire island from east to west, and from north to south.

"Sir" greeted Maximus and also the other soldiers when Danis came out of the castle, wearing quite thick clothes and also shoes, coupled with a sword at his waist Danis looked like a village hunter, even village hunters might be better than Danis, where they had leather armor.

But what can Danis hope for, because he also realizes that there is no armor he can use, wants to buy it but unfortunately the trade hasn't been opened, there is a panther skin but none of his subordinates can manage it, so in the end he can only wait.

As for Maximus' intention to give his armor to wear to Danis, he refused because how could a leader borrow armor from his subordinates, not to mention that Danis felt that no animal would be too much of a threat to him after he killed the king of the island.

So with these thoughts in mind, Danis decided to wear a suit like that.

"Okay Maximus is everyone ready?" Danis asked Maximus.

"Everything is ready sir, just waiting for the road master" Maximus replied.

"Then Stephani's logistics, have you made all of them?" Danis asked Stephani who was behind him.

"It has been arranged sir, these are two baskets of supplies that can make you and the soldiers survive for 1 day" Stephani replied to Danis.

"Ok great then let's go" Danis replied while then waving his hand and storing supplies in his room, before he left with Maximus and his soldiers.

1 hour later in the southernmost area of ​​the island, Danis together with his soldiers are currently exploring a fairly large cave on the beach.

"Sir, be careful, usually there will be a lot of bats and also cold-blooded creatures that live in caves" Maximus warned.

"Then what steps can you take to prevent Maximus?" Asked Danis again.

"We can make a torch sir, from plants around and use it for self-defense" replied Maximus.

"Ok then you can make it" Danis ordered back.

It took Maximus and his men 10 minutes to make some torches.

"Master the torch is ready"

"Ok then let's start going into the cave" Danis ordered to Maximus.

It's just that the higher the expectations, the greater the possibility of disappointment that will be obtained later.

In this case, bad luck came to Danis, where he, who had explored the entire island for more than 2 hours, did not get anything meaningful, this of course made Danis disappointed.

"No wonder the panther looks like a teenager, apparently not because of its young age but the prey on the island that doesn't exist, apart from rabbits, birds and a few squirrels that live on the island.

So it is natural that the development of the panther's body is not optimal.

And in the end it looks like a teenager when Danis kills him.

"Damn!!!! Is there nothing valuable on this island" said Danis complaining.

"Sir, maybe we haven't looked in more detail at the situation on this island, so in the end we don't find anything of value," Maximus replied.

"Yes it is possible but I think the chance is very small Maximus, haven't you also searched in various places from the visible to the hidden but in the end there is nothing we can get" Danis replied again.

"Even so the 15 rabbits that we got today are a good thing sir" replied Maximus trying to comfort Danis.

"Don't comfort me Maximus, I'm still dissatisfied with the current situation, if it weren't for the sufficient food stocks to last us for more than 1 month, I don't know what to feed you and the others" Danis replied again trying to overflow her emotions.

And Maximus, who heard this also knew what Danis meant, because as a soldier captain he really knew how much influence logistics had in an army.

So he now understood what Danis was thinking.

"As far as the eye can see there is only the ocean....ha....." Danis sighed helplessly.

But in the next second Danis seemed to realize something.

"Stupid!!!!!.....hahahahah...." Danis laughed happily.

However this scene made Maximus become frightened by what he saw, he guessed whether his master had gone mad due to the supply problem, " Sir...sir are you okay?" Maximus immediately woke up Danis who was currently still looking very happy.

"Hey...Maximus what's wrong with that panicked face of yours?" Asked Danis confused.

"Ahhhh... it's okay sir, I'm just a little worried about you" Maximus answered shyly when asked back by Danis.

"Ok Maximus let's get rid of that unimportant thing, now our goal is the ocean, because there all the resources are available" Danis proudly tells Maximus about his next goal.

"Ohhh the sea sir...alright"

Soon Danis and Maximus arrived at a small estuary on the west side of the island, saw the small clear stream flowing into the sea, Danis had a guess in her heart and then without saying much immediately ordered Maximus and the others to scatter. and looking to see if there are any resources they can get their hands on.

And sure enough, as Danis expected, he saw mangrove plants growing around the estuary area, seeing this Danis was very happy "hahahahah....finally something good" Danis said excitedly.

Mangrove as a plant that prevents abrasion from the ocean has other benefits as a shelter for marine animals, such as crabs, shrimp, clams and several types of fish.

Not to mention, especially for mangrove crabs that live in mangrove forest areas, they can be said to be one of the most sought-after commodities, because their body shape is quite large compared to other crabs.

Besides that, the fruit from the mangrove tree can also be eaten, feeling quite satisfied with the current results. Danis then walked to a drier area, and here he found another surprise, where he found several tall cassava trees.

Seeing cassava again, Danis felt very happy, because this cassava tree is clearly a plant that can be cultivated. Planting cassava takes 3-6 months to be harvested.

After being satisfied with the results of his findings, Danis then ordered Maximum and some of his men to harvest some mangrove crabs and also uproot some cassava trees, where the cassava stems were then taken to be cultivated in their fort.

After doing that all the other Danis participants are now resting on the beach while enjoying the supplies that have been prepared by Stephani.

After feeling full, Danis ordered them to start their hunt in the beachside area, where it was monitored that there were many shallow corals that filled the area around them.

Here Danis also feels very happy because, behind the many coral reefs there will surely be some sea animals hiding, and in this case they are the targets set by Danis.

Only 5 minutes later, Danis's first sweet fruit harvest was successful, where he managed to get a large lobster, from lobster he also got a bronze box, feeling these results of course Danis felt very happy and started hunting more vigorously.

Until 1 hour later cleaning the entire beach area near them, they found satisfactory results where dozens of fish of various sizes and types were caught on the other hand there were lobsters, crabs, octopus, and squid along with several types of shellfish which were also they managed to get.

With this harvest Danis was very happy, especially besides the bronze box at the beginning he got an additional 1 other bronze box and 1 silver box at the end of the hunt.

Which makes Danis fun to increase.
