[Host has stepped into a new level of power. You might have forgotten that Baron Flameheart’s domain is now yours, so you are the ruler of the entire northern wastelands, which are the true wastelands since the southern wastelands aren’t truly the north. The spread of the Abyss curse isn’t there either; the split is Count William’s way of incorporating his landed nobles into the north. Now, would you like to fuse Hebron City, Silver Castle, and Hebron Town with Goshen? Yes or No?]
Such a massive upgrade made Asher concerned. Although he could see the prospects of the fusion, which would be a great city, one housing tens of thousands.
A city of that sort would bring in a good amount of revenue and would be able to be self-sufficient.
At this moment, Goshen was surviving on Nineveh, Nimrim, and Ashkelon. If the supply was cut off, the outpost would die just like Silver Castle.
‘Do it.’
The moment he said that, he felt a slight tremor underneath his feet, but it didn’t cause any chaos; in fact, almost everyone ignored it.
But Asher knew something earth-shaking was happening some kilometers away from here.
Just as he thought, Hebron City, Silver Castle, and Hebron Town couldn’t be found in their locations anymore, and Goshen grew from a small outpost to a massive city able to house tens of thousands. Like Ashkelon, it was a fortified city.
The walls rose up and became a 15-meter-tall wall hardened by green clay.
Almost all the houses in the city were now covered by green clay, making the city look like some kind of divine paradise in a desert.
A bigger spring appeared along with several springs at different mini squares.
The roads were paved neatly with cobblestones, and the city now had walls dividing it into sectors. Market sector, residential sector, industrial sector.
Several manors for the wealthy were built outside the walls of the lord’s manor. Find more to read at
The walls of the Lord’s manor were made of whitestones; the same for the buildings and the roof were made from a unique tree called the ivory tree.
This tree was white externally, but once it was split open, one could see it was oxblood internally.
After treatment, it looked regal and made the Lord’s manor look even more special and different from the rest of the buildings in the city. All the walls in the city were connected, except the wall surrounding the Lord’s manor.
Inside the Lord’s manor were residential buildings for the officials, such as the city lord, the officials, the servants, and the garrison troops.
From an outpost of 5000, it increased into a great Tier 3 city with a massive population of 60,000!
[Goshen outpost has been upgraded to Gosehn, the city of the sun. A Tier 3 Great City!]
It was dubbed City of the Sun because Goshen was built where a great fire elemental mythical beast was slain, causing the land to attract the heat of the sun more than any other place.
From afar, it seemed like the sun cast its divine light on the city, causing it to look glorious.
………Asher had Kelvin send recruitment letters to Goshen, and after some days, they recruited 6000 civilians, ready to join the Ashbourne forces.
5000 were taken to the Desolate Wolf Barrack in Nineveh to change their occupation.
After the 5000 men joined the troop, the 3000 knights became elite Desolate Wolves and were in charge of teaching them what the system didn’t incorporate into their structure during the transformation.
Meanwhile, the remaining 1000 were given longbows to train. Asher wanted another long-range troop, this time the male version of the Stormbringers. freёweɓnovel.com
While this was going on, Goshen grew even more bustling with visitors increasing each passing day.
Count William’s forces remained quiet, but the news of the intense war with House Mormont was reported to Asher every day. Like this, a month passed by.
During this month, Asher absorbed the upgrades and expansion of his domain.
He officially made Katarina a baroness in order for her to rule over Ashkelon as the city lord. Right now, he has two City Lords. Baroness Katarina and Baron Claude.
The position for Regent was left for Kelvin despite how he vehemently rejected it.
A regent was the man that would rule over the domain as the lord in the absence of the actual lord; it was a position that was held in high regard and intensely sought after.
In the tenth month of the year, the officials of his court were officially known to the entire domain. Ashkelon and Goshen now had lords.
Towns like SilverLeaf and Nimrim had town ministers, namely, Tobiah and Ark White.
After a month, Asher got bows imported from a duke in the Intis Kingdom and also bought 1000 high-grade fire elemental crystals, which he fused into the bows to upgrade them.
This act fulfilled his desire as the system classified the new troop as a terror-grade troop.
Right now, Asher stood before 1000 strongmen with muscular arms and lean figures holding longbows in their hands with quivers attached to their backs.
The length of their arrows was way longer than usual.
Their arrows could pierce through reinforced wooden shields, and even metal shields of the silver rank could be damaged by them.
[Host, the stele for this troop is ready.]
‘Establish it.’
Boom!
White light burst out of the ground, and it began to form a barrack meant for acres. In the middle of the barrack was the transformation tower.
For each Goshen longbow archer, the tower took 10 gold coins!
This meant that they would all become knights!
Asher bore the loss of 10,000 gold coins and watched 1,000 gold-ranked Goshen Longbow Archers line up before him after changing their occupation.
Looking at the still-as-stone archer troop clad in silver armor, one that had the same color as the Desolate Wolves, he nodded inwardly.
They were not lightly armored like the Stormbringers, but they also had a larger frame, so their full body armor was justified.
Instead of a metal helmet, they wore a wolf head cap with the fur draped over their shoulders.
A metal mask covered their nose and mouth, revealing only their eyes.
Thud!
In unison, they fell to their knees. “We greet His Lordship!”
