Life Drain System

Chapter 36 - The King And His Men

The king then got up from his throne, and went to his personal armory to get suited up and ready to go thinking. 'It would be great if they are not a threat. I would rather have allies than enemies. Also, if they are such great craftsmen, they might be able to help us progress. I really wonder what the best product they could make is?' He thought excitedly.

The king and his men, rode all through the night, having their mages buffing the horses in various ways every few hours. While those back at the newly built town were sleeping peacefully, all except for some who were up on the ramparts for night watch. ??

Getting ever closer to the town, a group of about fifty wolves tried to break off a group from the back. These wolves although intelligent, were clearly not smart enough as the archers took out their bows, and shot them either through the eye and killed them, or through the heart. Not even looking back as they were on orders, continued towards their goal.

Eventually they came across a bandit hideout, so they took a slight detour, because the king wanted to rid his kingdom of such evil. As they arrived at the bandit hide out, the king ordered the mages to launch fireballs at the entrances first, then inside. Next for the archers to fire at everyone they see, and lastly the cavalry to wipe out any that escape. (No infantry this time, as it was a last minute trip sorry.)

This took about half an hour as the fire quickly burned the people out of their houses. However some did escape but were quickly taken care of by the cavalry. They went inside and as they saw that everyone was dead, they left for their goal once more. However before they could leave one of the archers announced kind of quietly. "Everyone, please move away slowly. There is a male and female tiger behind us."

The two tigers were on the small mountain next to the bandit hideout. They were just pacing their mountain watching, as if ready to pounce at any moment. The men, even the king, looked over, and slowly moved away. *Tigers may not have been much of a threat on the planet Yue left, however here, they were stronger faster, and had other capabilities.*

---- A Few Hours Later At The Town ----

"Yawn, that was a good sleep, so much to do." Yueliang acknowledged then got up from his bed frame. There was no mattress yet, as they do not yet have all the supplies needed to make things. However as this was a problem, Yueliang started wondering about things to solve this, while he got ready, and headed out.

As Yueliang left the building, he saw three people running to him and a fourth walking towards him. He briskly walked to the bench beside him as he felt this would be long, and pulled out another bench from his inventory setting it in front of himself, then waiting for the four to arrive.

After each sat down, Xue spoke first. "Good morning Yue, I came for two things. One to see how you are doing, and if you anything, and the second being, what do we do about a shower or bath?" The other three just shook their heads, as they completely expect this to happen among the new humans.

Yue just replies not even surprised, except that Orslaine was not asking on behalf of the orc women. "I will be making a water supply system today, and maybe a bath house. However showers will take a little while longer. Please be patient, I mean, we are already fortunate enough to have this town built in a day. So next question?"

Orslaine spoke up kind of sadly, while Xue left to go eat. "Yue, we have not spoken in a while and I was wondering if I could help or we could spend some time together?"

"Of course, you are absolutely right. We will talk soon, I promise, also I am feeling better now thank you." Orslaine showed a beautiful smile at that that lit up the world, then Yueliang continued rested and quite happy. "There is not much you can do now. However if you could make sure to let me know if the people need anything that would be great. I am trying my best to accommodate every bodies needs and some wants."

"Well, I look forward to seeing you soon." Orslaine said with a beautiful smile, as she spun around once in her dress, then left to see if anyone could use some help. Yueliang seeing this felt as though she was a ray of sunshine, lighting up the world around him. However to him, Xue was equal, the only difference was Xue asking for things he could not do at the moment, made him feel kind of exhausted.

Then Rei spoke up next. "Wow, you certainly have it rough. You are building everything, at the cost of your life and one of your ladies does not even recognize your hard work. I am sorry for you. Either way, I wanted to thank you for making the sacrifices you have, and making this transition so smooth and easy. I wanted to ask, is it ok if I set up some people under me to take care of more menial tasks? My job is extremely stressful, and this would take a bit of the load off."

Yue replied saying. "Of course, I am kind of surprised you have not done so already. Either way, just make sure you keep an eye on them. I do not want lazy or corrupt people, not that I am trying to accuse the Sky Orcs, it is just too common among the people of my last world as you know. Regardless, I just wanted to thank you, without your help, I do not think I would be functioning under all this work. You are the best, a great friend, and wonderful worker. Thank you so much."

"I am glad to be of service, and thank you for allowing me to get others to help as well. Also, I know you mean well. We are not a corrupt horde, so you do not have to worry about such things. Orcs in general are hard workers, lazy ones tend to be killed off. Of course our horde does not have such people, so rest assured." Rei said quite happily, as he was glad to be acknowledged by his boss, and his people recognized for their hard work. Then he left as well to get back to work.

Then at last Yueliang said. "You have been very patient, thank you."

"Hahah, well you tend to learn patience once you die." Yin said jokingly.

"Haha, alright, so what have you come for my friend?"

"Can I not come just to see how you are holding up?" Yin said kind of jokingly because of the past threes excuse for coming to see him.

"You can, however, both you and I know that you have something else on your mind."

"Alright, enough joking around. So, today we have to work on one of a few things, what do you choose? There is making the mana crystals, however considering we powered them up already last night they could last about a week if we are lucky, half a day if we are besieged. Next, would be making the water source and plumbing, which will once again require mana crystals. Then there is producing a steady food source. Materials for clothing, or just about anything else. There are many more jobs. Where should we start?" Yin asked.

"Hmm, there is a lot to do, we also have to expand the town later. I think for now, we can solve a few of these problems at once. We need to collect 2 packs of wolves of about 50 or more per pack. This will take care of our clothing, and food, as we can kill them and eat them as needed. Then use the soft fur on them for producing clothes, and what not. However we will need to something to feed them, as well as needing to start farming. What to do?" Yueliang pondered.

After a few moments, Yueliang came up with a solution. "Alright, I will build the water source, plumbing, cage, and farms. Then we either need orcs to do the farming or I can summon another creature to do it. Then again orcs are our craftsmen, I will summon something else. Could you go collect the wolves, and after that, some other animals to feed them? I will provide everything else."

"I can do that, however I really hope you know what you are doing. Using your life as a resource is risky. Either way, I will drive the animals here, just make sure you are ready." Yin replied about to leave.

"Wait, one more thing. If you find any strong creatures, please try to drive them here as well. I have a great idea for them." Yueliang said then walked away to get building. Then thought 'Status'.
