After Jax had finished discussing plans for the location of the barracks and camp with his team, he prepared to leave when he was suddenly halted by the leader of the builders, Again.
who swiftly stepped in front of him."Hey, King, you may not be aware, but without the Town Hall, we won't be able to proceed with any other construction," the builder explained.Jax blinked in confusion."Town Hall?, What's that supposed to be?"The leader of the builders sighed."Take a look at where you're currently residing, boss, It's not yet a Tier 1 Town Hall, which means nothing will function properly, including the hiring of soldiers from the camp, your Town Hall is normally your Palace, home, or center of command."Jax let out a frustrated grunt."So how much will it cost to get this Town Hall built?" he inquired."About 1000 Gold coins," the leader builder replied.Jax's eyes widened in disbelief."What the hell! Fine, just get it done," he said as he took out another 1000 coins and paid the builder."Get it finished. I'm going inside to get some sleep," Jax instructed, feeling slightly exasperated."Apologies for the inconvenience, boss, but for the next two hours, you won't be able to utilize your room since we'll be using your house as the foundation for the new Town Hall," the builder informed him.Jax groaned in frustration."Oh, for fu*k's sake! Well, I guess I'll have to watch you all then, since I can't even sleep in my own house," he grumbled, resigning himself to forfeiting the nap he had initially wanted.Jax observed the builders as they set to work.Initially, he had thought they would employ some sort of magical technique to transform the house.However, to his surprise, several of the builders ventured into the nearby forest to gather trees, returning to chop the wood and systematically demolish the existing structure.As the townspeople witnessed this unexpected development, they were perplexed about the identities of these unknown workers.However, upon seeing their king carefully watching and supervising the entire process, they surmised that he must be involved somehow.Although uncertain as to why their king would willingly dismantle his own home, a few concerned citizens approached Jax's wife, who was still overseeing the mining operations, to express their apprehensions about his decisions.After all, the responsibility of managing the town's day-to-day affairs fell on her shoulders, and it was precisely because of her strategic decisions that the town continued to thrive.After hearing about the construction of there new home, Jax's wife rushed to their house to find a stunning new structure being built in its place.Initially intending to voice her complaints and shout at Jax, she was left speechless as she laid eyes on the beautiful house taking form.She finally managed to find her voice after a few moments."My Lord, who are they?" she asked, her surprise evident in her tone.Jax responded with a smile."Oh, those are the new personal builders I've hired to work for me, Don't worry; they'll soon be finished with the renovation of our new home."His smile caught her off guard.She was accustomed to him being constantly angry and often taking it out on her due to his frustrations with his lack of tangible accomplishments.But here he was, smiling at her, Ever since he had knocked his head, he had been behaving differently—like a different person altogether.Though she couldn't quite discern what had happened during his unconsciousness, she appreciated this change in him.An hour later, the new house was completed, radiating beauty more than ever.The builders had taken great care in painting it white, with a mix of blue and green for the roof and edges, giving the new Town Hall a captivating glow.[Town Hall completed + 1000 spirit Coin.][Inventory space gained.][Congratulations on becoming a Tier 1 king.]The flurry of notifications added to Jax's joy as he stretched his hands forward, beckoning his wife to take hold of them.As soon as their hands were clasped together, he gently led her into their new home, which now served as the impressive Town Hall—a significant upgrade from its previous state.The Town Hall easily stood out among the other houses, and Jax's wife couldn't contain her excitement about the new development."I still can't wrap my head around how you were able to find craftsmen with such remarkable skills and expertise, It's incredible that they even agreed to work for you, considering the cost it would normally entail."" And I know you didn't take any money from me since I manage our Village Finance , so how did you manage it?" she asked Jax, knowing that she was in charge of the town's finances."You don't need to worry your little head about all that, Just know that things are going to turn around for us now that I'm back to full health,"Jax reassured her, gently pulling her closer and placing his hands around her waist.As he tried to show his appreciation and feel her body against his, she suddenly tensed up and quickly moved out of his embrace.However, Jax only smiled slightly, realizing that she hadn't rejected him, but had simply moved away. "What is your name?" Jax asked."Huh?" she blurted out, her face filled with surprise."I'm asking you. Don't you understand what I just said?" Jax repeated."I do understand. I'm just taken aback by the question. Well, my name is Alicia," she replied."Very well then, Alicia. I acknowledge you as my wife," Jax declared.Jax understood her surprise.In the past, the old owner of the body had been a jerk, taking out his anger and frustrations on his wife.He felt powerless when his father had sent him to this seemingly barren land, and he had lashed out at Alicia with hurtful words, at every chance he got.Physical violence was never something he resorted to, as he had promised his mother never to follow in his father's footsteps.It also meant that he had never bothered to ask for her name, as he had never truly accepted her as his wife.He felt like his father had forced him into this marriage just to get him out of the house.That's why Alicia had been working tirelessly for the town, doing everything in her power to make it flourish.In the hopes that one day he would acknowledge her, since he was her lifelong husband, she had no substitutes.And today, he finally uttered the words she had longed to hear.Tears of joy welled up in her eyes, breaking down the protective walls of sarcasm she had so often donned to shield her vulnerable heart.As her husband declared his acceptance, she couldn't help but let the tears flow.This was a moment she had been waiting for, but she never anticipated how overwhelming her reaction would be.She collapsed into his embrace, lightly sobbing, and Jax delicately rubbed her back, providing comfort.He felt a sense of pride after resolving one of the lingering issues left behind by his previous self.It had been over two hours since the builders had completed the construction of the Town Hall, as well as the army barracks and camps. Jax, who was still in his sleepy state, remained in their new home, allowing his wife to explore and familiarize herself with their Newly renovated House/Palace space. Jax respected her role as the lady of the house and didn't want to disturb her.However, his state of relaxation was interrupted when he received a notification informing him that both the Army camp and Barracks were now complete. A smug smile spread across his face as he couldn't contain the sheer joy he felt. Excitedly, he made his way to the designated location, only to find that it exceeded his expectations.The size of the structures far surpassed what had been described in the game guide that he read and What He Had In mind. It was evident that no magical instruments were used in their construction, as they were crafted with real wood from the surrounding forest and other Refin
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 ca
After the Tier 2 wolf let out a piercing howl, its pack became even more aggressive. Their black eyes turned red as they rushed towards the soldiers who were blocking their path in frenzy. On top of the hills, the onlookers held their breath, captivated by the unfolding battle, afraid to miss a single moment, as they prayed that there king would be able to defeat the beasts that have invaded there lands."Charge!!!" Connor's voice commanded, and around 100 soldiers broke free from the formation, as brandishing their raised Cubs before they clashed with the Demonic Wolf beasts.The villagers, witnessing the spectacle, never expected what they saw. They anticipated a struggle between the soldiers and the wolves at least as they prayed there new vullage soldiers would be able to put up some type of defence due to fate even when they felt it was quite unlikely, but the soldiers proved to be overpowering. They struck the wolves with precision, stunning them, and before the wolves had

The man dressed in flashy clothing finally approached them, and Jax managed to catch a clearer glimpse of his face.And Memories flooded his mind as he recognized the familiar figure leading the horse-drawn army and dressed in extravagant attire.The man rode until he reached the area where the bodies of the fallen Wolves lay, prompting the soldiers behind him to halt as well.With a gentle dismount, he lovingly caressed his horse's head before making his way towards Jax and Alicia.His gaze held a certain charm as he took in the surroundings.Upon reaching their front, he paused and smiled."It's been a long time, little brother!" the fashionably dressed man exclaimed.In that instant, Jax's memory finally connected the dots.The flashy-dressed man was none other than his brother, Jerome Freeman, his father's eleventh child.Jerome ruled the Kingdom closest to Alec's village, as a king there too."What brings you here, Jerome?" Jax asked,his fists clenched as he recalled the mistreat
"I don't think that's any of your business, right?" Jax replied with a frown on his face. He could sense that his cunning brother was attempting to pry into his secret of how he managed to eliminate so many Tier 1 wolves in such a short time. Jerome was taken aback by Jax's response. He had anticipated various different reactions from Jax, but a direct dismissal was not one of them."Well, don't act so greedy for a little information, I just thought you would be proud to boast about your warriors who are less equipped," Jerome jeered at Jax's soldiers, who clearly lacked proper equipment and even had their upper bodies exposed, The warriors accompanying Jerome burst into laughter, but Jax simply stared at Jerome with indifference."Don't be like that, considering I did warn you about the impending war with the orc empire," Jerome attempted to coax Jax into revealing his secrets. He had a hunch that whatever was responsible for the swift disappearance of the Tier 1 wolves was an ex
Even Alicia was taken aback by Jerome's shameless attitude. She couldn't help but question if he even shared the same blood as Jax, as elder brothers were meant to protect their younger siblings. However, instead of being a protector, Jerome acted as a bully towards Jax. His greed and ambition drove him to want everything that Jax had, and he was never satisfied, even after swindling part of Jax's inheritance through deceit.Jerome knew that his father rarely paid attention to this area, resulting in low surveillance on him. This knowledge fueled his actions, as he was confident that the spies in this region wouldn't have the courage to report him to his father, considering Jax's status as a bastard and the Village he was given being in a dilapidated state. Furthermore, Jerome had already bribed most of the spies he knew, ensuring that they wouldn't dare offend someone who held so much potential compared to Jax.While Jax's future appeared bleak, as if he wouldn't even survive the
"Come back,"Jerome ordered the moment he realized that his second captain was about to be defeated, a situation too embarrassing for him to bear.It meant that just one of Jax's captains could handle two of his special captain he took pride in."Ohhh! Stop, Connor," Jax said with feigned surprise."I thought you had confidence in your capable captains, why do they look like they're running away with their tails between their legs?"Jax asked Jerome, a sly smile on his face, relishing the opportunity to disparage his brother."(Snorts) You can keep feeling proud of yourself for now, but know that you are nothing great. So what if you have a slightly stronger captain than me? I have about ten of them," Jerome retorted."So what if your captain defeats two of mine?, I'll just send five over to him next time, And if five isn't enough, I'll send all my ten captains"" And if that's still not enough, I'll send all my soldiers," Jerome snorted in anger."Wow, it seems you don't even value th
“Your Majesty, if we do not receive reinforcements within the next three days, we may lose this battle,” one of Jerome’s Tier 1 captains spoke urgently, addressing the brooding Jerome as he sat upon his throne.The entire J-Clan Kingdom had been thrust into a state of war ever since the capital had been attacked. At present, they remained in the dark about the identity of the assailants or the kingdom from which the attackers have originated, as no kingdom insignia or flags were present on the black armoured warriors. It was a surprise assault that even King Jayden could have never foreseen, as the attackers had managed to strike without revealing their allegiance.Undoubtedly, they possessed some affiliation, yet one thing was certain: the invading army did not belong to any of the forces within the Wastelands. As none of the Wasteland kingdoms possessed nor the army or the capacity to mount such a grand-scale assault, targeting not only the main kingdom but also attempting to di
“Arrrgh! Why? How could you all allow this to happen?” The Orc chieftain’s voice reverberated through the throne room as he paced angrily, his bare chest heaving. Outside the massive window adjacent to the throne room, three immense images of grieving Orcs that had two stars revolving around them were displayed.The more he gazed at the images, the stronger his urge grew to clench his hands in his hair and pull them out in frustration.Although three Tier 2 kingdoms under their rule had been swiftly destroyed without resistance, it felt as if the battle had been between a child and an adult, the chieftain demanded an explanation for their rapid defeat.While all three kingdoms had suffered destruction, it was evident that the first to fall was indicated by the Orc image on the verge of disappearing above that particular kingdom.The loss of the Goblin kingdom, that was previously responsible for handling distasteful tasks they wished to avoid, had already stung when Jax decimated it.
As Lyra slowly advanced, the other Orc that had survived with the Orc captain was already sweating. However, when he glanced sideways, he noticed his leader making hand signals indicating that he had to make a run for it, but the orc hesitated; as he didn’t want to make himself Lyra’s next target, but the stern stare from his leader made it clear that rejecting a direct order meant certain death. Caught between the archer and his captain, he knew he had no choice.Their line of work was inherently risky, as they ventured into enemy territory without support, however, this mission had proven to be a complete failure. And it no seemed there was no hope left for their squad, with only two members remaining. With a nod, the orc signalled that he understood the plan and was prepared to proceed, this elicited a smile from the orc captain, who then gave another hand signal, counting down from three.As soon as he reached zero, the other orc swiftly got up and attempted to flee, Lyra’s
Silently, a group of ten Orcs emerged, encircling the remnants of the destroyed Goblin kingdom, and concealing their presence, their objective was to gather intelligence about the kingdom, or race that had dared to attack the Goblins kingdom, and was also capable of annihilating them before aid could arrive. These ten Orcs were elite spies dispatched by the Orc empire.While they possessed a smaller stature than the main Orc warriors, this reduction in size did not diminish their strength, in fact, they remained just as formidable as their larger counterparts, relying on their swiftness to compensate, while equipped with lighter and more nimble weaponry, they eschewed the heavy arms typically favoured by other large Orcs.“Move out!” commanded their leader, urging them to close the distance to the walls of the Goblin kingdom as the pass through boulders, their current position hindered their ability to gather information, obstructed by the towering walls constructed by the Goblins.
The news of Jax’s successful obliteration of the Goblin kingdom had rapidly spread throughout the J-Clan kingdom. King Jayden wasted no time in dispatching numerous message birds to the subordinate kings under him, officially announcing Jax’s victory over the Tier 2 Goblin kingdom at the border.While others might have been oblivious to Jax’s recent exploits, King Jayden himself couldn’t deny that he wasn’t well-informed about Jax’s movements. Though the Orc empire may still be unaware, but King Jayden knew that it wouldn’t be long before they gathered the intelligence that Jax and his army were responsible for the destruction of the Goblin kingdom. And when the news would inevitably make its way back to the Orc empire, they would then disseminate it further, therefore, Jayden wanted to ensure that he spread the news from his own kingdom before the Orc empire had the chance, starting with his children and the other general kings under his rule.–When Jessie received the messag
The Orc kingdoms near the area were not the only ones to catch wind of the situation of the wailing Goblin and realised that the Tier 2 Goblin Kingdom had been destroyed; some of the human kingdoms situated close to the borders of the Wastelands also became aware of what was happening.Meanwhile, in the capital palace of the J Clan, King Jayden gazed out of his window watching the image of the wailing goblin in distance, though his spies had yet to deliver any messages, but he felt no need to wait for their reports to understand who had initiated the attack on the Goblin kingdom, leading to its demise.After all, only Jax had sent him a letter declaring war, and he was the sole human king who had made recent movements with his army. King Jayden had initially anticipated that it would take Jax days to conquer any kingdom of his choosing, however, he had never expected Jax to completely destroy another Tier 2 kingdom. Jax had accomplished something that most of the other Tier 2 human
“If it wouldn’t be an inconvenience, have you considered taking them into your kingdom as your subjects?” Red suggested, bowing respectfully to Jax as he made his proposal.Jax seemed taken aback by Red’s words, but then he began contemplating the idea, No one had explicitly stated that as a human king, he couldn’t have other races as his subjects. He already had Barbarians, Amazons, and even Mini Giants coexisting in his kingdom, not to mention that Red had practically become an integral part of his kingdom also.“I don’t mean to impose, but the goblins could be valuable for manual labour, they can contribute to mining and perform strenuous tasks for the kingdom, all I ask is that you give them a chance to live, just as you have given me,” Red pleaded, his voice carrying the weight of his emotions.Jax understood that Red held genuine sympathy towards the goblin, though he was now deeply attached to Jax’s kingdom, but it didn’t mean he had forsaken all his feelings and transformed
Jax watched in awe as the Mini Giants maneuvered through the battlefield, their shields arranged in a strategic formation that deflected arrows and prevented them from finding their mark. The goblins stationed atop the city wall tirelessly shot arrows, but their efforts failed to hinder the relentless progress of the Mini Giants, who pressed forward towards the city gate.Bulwark, their leader, crushed the ball in his hand, which instantly turned into specks of light that transformed into a custom-made battering ram perfectly fitted for the Mini Giants. Without hesitation, Bulwark issued orders, causing the group of Mini Giants to split into two: twenty of them proceeded to push the battering ram, while the rest formed a defensive circle around it, shields locked together to shield the ram from any goblin attacks or projectiles.With their defensive formation established, the Mini Giants began their steady advance towards the target gate or wall, maintain
With Astrid and Red securing positions on the left side of the wall and eliminating the goblins assigned to guard the left flank, the Tier 2 Goblin who took command was forced to dispatch another wave of goblins toward the left side, in order to regain their lost foothold.“Leave them to me!” Red called out to Astrid, who was poised to engage. The strategy was clear: Connor had sent Astrid, because of his swift and decisive attacks, to take control of the left side in a jiffy. While Red had been sent out by Connor to be more of a test run, to see how he performs, but Red was eager to support Astrid and itching for a piece of the action after watching Astrid effortlessly dispatch several goblins.So while Astrid stayed behind to guard the fifty Barbarian soldiers preparing to ascend the wall with grappling guns against any surprise attacks or goblin archers , Red on the other hand also planned to widen the breach that he and Astrid had secured. This would facilitate the smooth entry
