7 days... I'll be finished with my level 10 walls by day 6, including the outermost wall, the 4th wall.
My little kingdom is so unorganized, it's all me who's planning on what to do. In all those movies I watch, I'm pretty sure the ruling party is surrounded by a bunch of capable mens hurling ideas over.
I'm so laid back, I just realized it recently.
Since my new talent caps at 250k, I sold the excess magic cores for gold getting 636,400 gold coins.
79.5k gold coins are set aside for the walls construction.
I should hoard on those elf transformation potions as well.
The only good thing is, as long as I have gold, I can magically summon troops over although, even with my talent, this is costly as fu-.
For now, let's set aside 70k gold for elf transformation potions since they can only produce 1k potions a day.
Oh, I can now hire mercenaries, 10 gold coins a day. 50 a week per mercenary.
Name: Gark
Race: human (mercenary)
Rank: 2 🌟 🌟
Description: Also popularly known as the goblins in human skins, they're a group of people who would do anything for money.
You don't talk morales with them, gold does the talking.
Pretty strong for an average human, but that's also why they're costly.. And they move in a group so, I'd still have to make a tempting offer to make them move.
Last I checked, building a castle takes a month and 500k gold. I wonder if I should also start the construction as well.
The weight of the impending war doesn't seem too scary for me after all.
Time passes, my castle also begun construction since, why not..
Once this is completed, I'll have to develop the lands inside the 2nd walls.
2 days till invasion, my walls are menacingly high and the 4th wall is under it's final construction.
I peek into my wealth , 625k magic cores, 480k gold coins. Ofcourse I'm still in debts but I can get out of debt anytime I want, but that'll wait after I finish this war.
And that's when I come across a weird service in the official forum.
"Troops for hire!
For just 50k gold a day, I'll send 5k troops over to your place, all ready for your orders. Guaranteed 2 🌟 🌟 on all troops.
Offer valid till 3 days!"
That's no different from hiring mercenaries was my initial thought but, it doesn't hurt to check what this lord is up to.
I send a friend requests, apparently you can't even chat with each other unless you're friends. You can only use the official forum for conversation if you're not friends.
The other party accepted rather quickly, I initiated a video chat. To be frank, I'm quite a ugly looking guy, I ended up in a gambling den and lost everything as well. My character is just that fuc-ed up.
The other party is a beautiful girl, if I wasn't surrounded by an army, I would have taken my time admiring her.
I cleared my throat and stared at her eyes as I speak, "Do you have a combat talent? If yes, I'd like to extend a deal considering this two items."
I placed two items on the table for her to see.
