I've finished my tasks in the dungeons. My next goal was to organize the fortress. The slaves who participated in the war had visibly transformed.
They had surpassed others as Power and Spiritual Ore. Fighting for the slaves was more rewarding than staying where they were.
I assigned the slaves to take over the surrounding small towns and kill the hunters there.
I divided 426 slaves into 3 groups, each to attack a different town. The primary reason for this was to gain a significant amount of DP (Dungeon Points).
Although I earned a substantial amount of DP, it wasn't enough to develop and strengthen three different dungeons.
Nefarion seems safe for now, but the same can't be said for Soulle and Infernio.
The question of how densely populated Soulle and Infernio are remained unanswered.
Furthermore, I wouldn't need this fortress in the future. The primary reason for building the fortress was to provide a secure place for slaves to hide and strengthen.
However, I seemed not to need such a fortress. I should convert the fortress back into DP at some point.
I had no knowledge about life in cities. Cities and fortresses should undoubtedly be safer areas.
Most importantly, guilds like Assiom's Children might already be dispatching stronger hunters against me.
Moreover, other dungeon masters might attempt to act against me. Xavi and the others might have already struck a deal with someone from my lineage.
Managing 426 slaves was challenging, so I was trying to establish a chain of command like in the military, aiming to create a rank structure.
But it was still a topic I needed to think more about.
As night fell, we started entering the towns. Surprisingly, all the towns we entered during the night were deserted.
I was converting each town I entered into DP one by one. The empty towns were beneficial; I was gaining DP without losing any slaves.
The only difficult part of this task was moving as a group. Perhaps with such a large group, people and hunters found time to escape.
By the end of the night, I had converted four surrounding towns into DP. My total DP was 560,000.
I felt as if I were cheating. I selected a small group from my slaves to identify the distances and locations of other small towns in the vicinity.
Towards the end of the night, I returned to Onyx. I hadn't had the chance to be alone with Onyx for a long time. Though I couldn't exactly call it being alone.
"Orion, would you like Lexia to do something special for you?" Lexia asked with a strange expression on her face.
She had an expression resembling psychopaths from my old world. Was this situation unsettling? I'm not sure.
"No. I'd like to be alone tonight."
