Life Drain System Chapter 34

Yueliang watched intently as wood fell from the sky into the ground, cut, ready, and everything, then falling into place and nailed. He saw one building after another being formed, they were smaller than the original buildings, however had enough room for each family, or individual. Each were set up like apartments, instead of houses. It looked very aesthetically appealing and rustic. There was now enough housing for about half of the people there, as well as rooms for craftsmen. Now they just needed to finish the rest.
Yue walked over to the one thousand who getting ready to start building, and said. "Instead of building I have another job for you. Half of you, please go mining with the goblins, the other half, please hunt and gather for anything edible."
The group of them then smiled, nodded, and left for their new assignments. They were actually quite pleased, as it meant they did not have to do that tiring work in the sun. In exchange they get to be in the cool shade and work, which was much better.
As each crystal, ore, tree, and stone was brought over, Yueliang collected it into his inventory, and waited until he had enough which took about an hour. Considering how strong they Sky Orcs were, they could take down a tree in one swing, and drag them with a small amount of effort as well. Eventually an hour had passed and Yueliang told the ones around himself. "Please go collect everybody, in the mean time I will finish up building this place." And, they did as they were told swiftly.
Yueliang then thought. 'Yang, this is enough to finish it right?'
"Yes master, this is more than enough, and to go according to your thoughts, I will also build the restaurants, inns, extra housing, and shops?" Yang asked.
'Correct, as for the plumbing an so forth, I will have Yin take care of that.'
"Alright, hmm, then the cost will be four years, just so that you know. I will begin construction immediately. Is there anything else you would like me to do whilst we are at this?" Yang asked curiously.
'Hmm, if we have enough stone and ore, then please create a wall with gates around this town.'
"Alright, sounds great, however there is not enough for room for farming, however we can just modify this later, once you decide what changes you want. That will come out to a total of ten years with all you have spent on construction today. Hmm, that is half of what you took recently. Well, just remember to restock later."

'Alright, thank you once more Yang. At least even if I have no one else, at least I will always have you, my best friend, and well like the twin I never had.'
"..."
'What? Did I say something wrong?'
"Not quite. Just that you did have a twin, however they died shortly after child birth. And, well, you will find out more later. In the mean time, we should focus on finishing setting up your new town for your people."
'Alright' Yueliang thought, feeling kind of down, as he really wanted to know a lot more about this mysterious situation. Yue felt there was much more to this than just dying in child birth. However he got back to focusing on what went where, and had Yue place every thing accordingly. Even making a bed frame for each room. However as he did not have the supplies, he could not make all the amenities such as beds, chairs, tables, etc. Well, all except for in the public buildings, such as the taverns, inns, shops, and all that.
By the end, it looked great even having a smooth solid stone road, that had no bumps or anything. If a carriage went across the riders might feel they were riding on clouds. The walls around the town were the same solid stone, with iron gates that would rise and fall. However there were many plans, that Yueliang still had to account for.
As the Sky Orcs, Goblins, and Humans came into the newly built town, they were astonished. They looked around and saw that everything looked amazing. The building were build perfectly, even the wood was treated to resist warping from rain and what not. Their was a solid road and walls which would be near impossible to make without tons of mana and a great deal of control over it. However it all looked natural and beautiful. There were even drains on the roads to take the water out side of the city gates. Of course this would have to be modified later.
Once everyone had gathered, Yueliang jumped onto one of the balconies of the apartments, and then addressed his people once more saying. "I apologize that I have not been able to produce all the amenities yet, however now we have a good looking town. We also have the food procured by those hunting and gathering. Soon we will have showers and everything else, do not worry. I thank you again for working so hard. I promise, I am quite literally putting my life into this as well."

The contracted creatures all had a general idea of what he meant, however the humans were a little confused just thinking he meant 'blood, sweat, and tears'. However Yue quickly continued. "For the next part, I will need the assistance of Yin, however you may come to me for your property, then settle in once more. Thank you so much for bearing with me through these kind of embarrassing and rough times."
Everyone in the crowd was quite touched by Yueliang's words, and were actually quite delighted there was a lot less work than they had anticipated. They had expected having to build for a month, live in poverty for a year, and have to live off farming and hunting. However now they had the building done, they would be farming soon, and even sooner, would be trading with the capital.
Better yet, they had such a nice town, this may be a main stop for merchants in the future on their way to trade their wares coming into or leaving the capital. So far, everything was looking so much better. Of course, now that things were looking up, they would surely have to prepare for troubles.
Then Yueliang said something more continuing with more to do. "I know that many of you prefer research, to combat, however that does not mean it will not come for us. Thus I have a few jobs for everyone else while Yin and I work on making your lives slightly better. I will need some of you to start building ballista's on the ramparts, as well as some of you taking shifts of day and night watch.
Also in the mean time, as the kitchens have not yet been set up in each building, please bring all food to me, and I will prepare it for you, unless you would like to use your own means. In the mean time, those who will not be working on protecting the city or procuring food. I would like for you to start coming up with a line of shipments we can start using soon to trade for money and supplies in the capital.
If we can get people's attention on our town, it will make our lives easier in getting resource. However as you know it will also bring troubles of its own. Although with all of us here working 'together' there should be nothing to worry about. That is all for now, thank you very much." Yue finished up and left to meet with Yin as they had a lot to do.
Soon, when Yin and Yueliang met up, Yin said. "Wow, lots to do and so little time. This truly seems like 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'."
Yueliang laughed, and said. "Well at least we can put out this fire. It will just take a bit of time and some effort depending on how well things go."
"Quite true, so what did you have in mind?"
"First we need to fortify the town, later the surrounding area, setting up a food and water supply, among many other things. Either way, first thing we need to do is ward the city from projectiles, and set up array formations, to fight off intruders, as well as fires, or other circumstances. Although this place is temporary, it needs to keep us safe until we can leave."
"Alright, well I can summon duplicate zombies and have them engrave the walls and what not to set up the wards, however we only need to finish the formations you set up. Do not think you can trick me. I know this whole town was formed in an array formation. It may be crude, but very effective."
"Hahaha, I should expect nothing less, from a great mage."
"Do not praise me too much my friend, lest it goes to my head."
"As if that could happen, anyways, as you said, we should make the finishing touches, while your zombies engrave the inner wall."
"By the way, have you thought of how to power everything?" Yin asked curiously.
"Of course, as you have seen from my memories, remember my mistake with my cultivation array? Well if we use that it can draw in magic power, thus empowering all the arrays and amenities of the town. There might even be some extra that could help us foster mages."
"Hmm .... , that is a great idea, however if we could some how find a way to produce more mana naturally that would be great."
"I actually had some ideas on that, however we can discuss it later. For now let us get our fortifications done." Yue said, then Yin started summoning, and Yue went to finish the touches on this array.
