Realm Of Kings

Tier 1 Wolf Wave.

It had been three days since Jax recruited the new soldiers and The hero "Connar" to protect himself and the town village people.

And Gradually, the town Villages folk had grown to accept their presence.

In these few days, the soldiers took on the responsibility of guarding the town.

They often accompanied the villagers when they ventured outside the village to gather wood or mine ore.

The soldiers ensured that everyone was protected, promptly dispatching any wild animals that dared to venture close to the perimeters of the forest or the mining sites.

Once their tasks were complete, they would bring back the slain animals and leave them with Alicia.

She would take the best cuts of meat for herself and distribute the rest among the men who had worked alongside the soldiers.

The villagers were overjoyed to finally have a change in their diet.

It had been ages since any of them had tasted meat, let alone the meat of wild beasts.

In place of meat, they had relied on the fish they caught, but now they had an opportunity to eat meat when they performed well.

Everyone knew that consuming the meat of beasts could supplement their bodies, making them stronger, this was especially good for those who worked in the forest.

Thus, obtaining even a small amount of beast meat brought immense joy to the villagers.

Alicia made sure to reserve a significant portion of the meat for the soldiers in the army barracks.

She understood that they also needed to eat, though she was unaware of there ability to survive without food but despite that Lax was not going to stop her, as he also realised that even with there ability to survive without food.

They still enjoyed the food, as there Taste gland was still there.

Jax kept surprising his wife with his newfound reliability.

He had hired new builders in the town and now recruited strong warriors to watch over the village.

It was quite unexpected, but she couldn't help but feel proud of him.

With the protection of the guards, the residents of Jax Village are finally able to mine more ores and cut back trees without the constant fear of being attacked by wild beasts in the forest.

Previously, encountering these beasts meant abandoning their work and fleeing for their lives.

However, in the past few days, a remarkable change has occurred.

Fewer people are being injured by the creatures of the wood forest, and the sound of laughter now resonates from the households throughout the Village, reaching even Jax's Town Hall.

The whole Village is experiencing an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Taking advantage of the newfound safety, Jax seizes the opportunity to commission the construction of another camp.

As a Tier 1 king, he can only have two camps as that was his limit , and he intends to maximize the resources and defenses Provided to him by the system.

The builders, with their characteristic sky smiles, quickly get to work.

Jax pays them 1000 coins, although he suspects they may be taking advantage of him by charging higher prices for additional camps.

Nevertheless, he has no other option since he cannot find builders capable of constructing what the system provides.

Furthermore, hiring additional builders from the system requires 100,000 Spirit Coins and a promotion to Tier 4 king status, which seems a distant goal for him.

Accepting his meager reward of 500 Spirit Coins, Jax checks his status tab:

[Status Tab]

Name: Jax Freeman

King Level: Tier 1 King

Land Level: Village

Coins: 3,000

Spirit Coins: 3,500

Observing the dwindling number of Spirit Coins and remembering how his wife often questioned him about his ability to recruit so many soldiers, Jax can't help but feel a sense of defeat.

As he always replied with a "do not worry about it" statement.

The soldiers even took turns guarding the gate at night, which surprised Jax as he believed they didn't need to sleep.

However, their actions have proven him wrong as they displayed numerous human traits and didn't simply adhere to orders like robots being spawned by the system.

They demonstrated emotions and willingly assisted the villagers, even helping the elderly with heavy tasks.

All of this confirmed Jax's suspicion that they were more than just robots.

They exhibited their own consciousness, prompting Jax to vow to treat them as any human, despite being spawned by the system.

He didn't want to be on bad terms with the new helpers he recruited.

Ever since Jax recruited them, they have been a tremendous asset to the Village, leading the people to quickly accept them.

Although the builders weren't as beloved due to their exorbitant prices, But the Village people no longer had any qualms with them staying.

In fact, Jax was surprised to see them constructing a grand house for themselves.

When he saw their home, his mouth unconsciously twitched.

It was twice the size and more beautiful than his own, and they didn't even have to pay for the land.

It infuriated Jax, as he felt they had used the money they scammed from him to build the house.

This only fueled his determination to reach the Tier 4 King realm and acquire a new set of builders who could rival them, that way they would be forced to cut down on there Prices when they had competition.

It has been a week since Jax's Village underwent changes, and the residents have learned to adjust to the new circumstances.

Jax sat in his newly upgraded Throne, idly tinkering with his system, when he noticed small red dots appearing on his maps.

Being a seasoned gamer, Jax didn't require the system spirit to inform him that an enemy was approaching.

He swiftly activated the camera option on the map, revealing around forty wolves with red stripes on their black fur charging towards his kingdom.

These wolves were Tier 1 demonic beasts, which brought a smirk to Jax's face.

He had been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to showcase the soldiers' power to the people of the town.

These forty-plus wolves would serve as a perfect example, considering they were ten times stronger than the average wild beast.

Since some of the townspeople were already skilled at fighting wild beasts one-on-one, Jax believed that if the soldiers successfully hunted a few Tier 1 beasts, it would solidify their position in the hearts of the people.

This would instill more confidence in him as their king.

Just as he was about to close the camera option, He spotted a wolf that stood out from the rest, towering at the size of a jeep.

The moment he laid eyes on it, Jax was certain that it was a Tier 2 beast.

His suspicions were confirmed when the system analysis displayed an icon above the wolf's head through the map camera.

[ Tier 2 – Blood Stripe Wolf – leader of a Tier 1 wolf Horde ].

Turning his attention to Connar, the Barbarian Lord who stood guard behind his throne, Jax posed a question.

"Hey Connar, do you think you can defeat this Tier 2 wolf?" He anticipated a positive response, as even though Connar was a Tier 1 hero

Jax still had faith in his ability to perform extraordinary feats, That was, after all, what made him a hero.

"With no problems, my Lord," Connar replied confidently, thumping his right hand against his left chest to signify his unwavering assurance.

"Alright then, gather the troops, I want the ten men stationed Around the Palace Hall to remain and protect my wife, as well as those who work for me," Jax instructed.

"But above all, ensure the safety of my wife."

"Additionally, I want forty soldiers scattered throughout the village. As the commander, you know which areas need to be protected in case any wolves manage to breach the village perimeter. I don't want any casualties."

"And last but certainly not least, it will be you, me, and a hundred and fifty soldiers who will march out of the gates to face this horde head-on, solidifying Your positions as noble guards among the mighty warriors of the wastelands,"

Jax delivered his orders with an inspiring speech, which fueled Connar's motivation ( they now had 200 soldiers since Jax built another camp that accommodate a 100 more warriors) .

"With utmost pleasure, my Lord," Connar bowed respectfully before stepping out of the town Palace Hall to carry out his given tasks.

Within moments, a resounding trumpet sounded, signaling the imminent war.

Hearing the trumpet's call, Jax realized that this would mark his first real participation in a war.

He swiftly adorned himself in his armor and grasped the sword his father had bestowed upon him when he entrusted him with the rule of this Village and the Vast land around it.

As Jax entered the realm of a Tier 1 King, he noticed a significant enhancement in his strength, speed, and stamina, growing slightly.

He had become more formidable, although he hadn't yet tested his newly found strengths in matters of battles.

But he Recognizing the fact that soldiers by his side were far superior to those found in the wastelands

Jax's inherited memories allowed him to comprehend the tremendous advantage His force possessed over their the waste lands other army unit, after all he had memories of those armies and .

He felt they just couldn't compare to his army.

Very soon, the 150 soldiers assembled at the front of the Town Hall.

Following Connar's speech, Alec led the way as they marched towards the wooden gates.

The townspeople were taken aback by the sight of their king and his formidable army of soldiers.

They couldn't help but wonder what had transpired to compel their king to take such action.

However, Jax was not prepared to offer any explanations to his subjects.

He believed that his actions would speak louder than words.

As they stepped outside the wooden gates, the soldiers inside ensured that the Gates were securely locked, while the Village folk were directed to a nearby hill that provided a better vantage point.

From their elevated position, the townspeople could witness the soldiers forming strategic formations, ready to face an imminent threat.

Connar, positioned on horseback, stood close to Jax.

The sheer number of guards present astonished the townspeople.

It was the first time that they realised just how much soldiers they had in the village, as this was the first time Jax deployed all soldiers from the barracks united for a joint appearance.

Just as some of the Village folk were about to voice their concerns or objections, a silence fell over the crowd.

As They began to feel the ground rumble beneath their feet, and the growls grew louder as a shadows emerged, racing towards the Village.

Suddenly, a massive wolf leapt onto a podium-like structure, using it as a platform to let out a bone-chilling howl.

The other wolves seemed to become even more frenzied, charging forward without a trace of fear after that howl.

In that moment, the villagers realized they were facing a horde of formidable beasts.

"It's a Tier-1 beast horde! We must run!" a voice of doubt called out, attempting to stir panic among the villagers.

"No! We should stay and trust that the King brought us here for a reason, I believe in him," a brave little girl spoke up.

"I agree, The fact that the king knew about this and still had the courage to wait means he has a plan, We must have faith in our King," an elderly woman added, finally putting an end to the argument and preventing the middle-aged man from sowing further chaos.
