《The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara 》Chapter 76: Development, Military & Resources
Advertisement
"Firstly, we would have to not only have to create spaces so wide enough to accommodate three times our current population to create enough space, but also give them an improved living experience based on what we have here…"
"Secondly, everyone must grow stronger which is another essential part of what we are trying to build here…"
"Lastly, all this has to be done within the next three months!" Dara announced…
The rest of the six looked at him like the unofficial but official leader of the group as they all began to crack their heads of how to solve the entire puzzle, now that they have the picture their trying to form in mind;
"Well, we would have to split this discussion into simpler terms to be able to tackle it…"
Uncle Min subtly pushed the task to the Ji duo to find out what they could bring to the table, after all, they were on the latter side of the teen age, and they have to start stepping up for the entire tribe if they were to thrive in any way;
"Well that's true, and I thought we could break it down to the; Development Axis; which involves building and of-course transforming the entire area to suit and support our requirements…" Ji Wang contributed almost instantly;
"We should also have the; Military Axis; which would handle the protection and the personal combat improvement of the entire group in general…" Ji Chen added showing his competent side also;
"Yeah, that's vital, and we should also add an axis that deals with sourcing out resources, and also the cultural development of the group…"
Aunt Lin who was very brilliant in these aspects when they were building the resident also chipped in wisely…
She had been the one who not only found the plateau in the first place, but also discovered what were edible to eat or used for healing, and also the person who weaved thick ropes from vines which greatly helped in the building of the area, thus, she was a very resourceful person and it is understandable why that would be the her own take on the issue…
Ji Chen was burly and naturally a fighter, and it was obvious as to why military might was his own input on the situation, whilst Ji Wang was able to not only trust Dara almost instantaneously but also helped him when he was trying to speak to the Obun Elder's and a tribesman wasn't trying to reason with him;
Thus, he was a person who can sustain amicable peace amongst people through viciousness and act of kindness, and as a result, it was understandable as to why he thought of developing the area first…

After all, one can do all sort of things together but would still need a certain level of privacy and collective originality to their roots, which means the Obun's would likely still behave like Obun's even after their healed;
But even though they might stop feeding on human blood, but would still retain a certain level of their years of being wild amongst them, which might not be take too well by the filial lifestyle of the tribesmen...
Thus, the place must be constructed in such a way that both group would have enough space to live and never have to mingle too early and risk an irreparable conflict…
Thus, they must both own a personal patch of vast area where they could call their own, but also create an avenue by which they could also come together to mingle under one common goal, and that would be perfect when they start issuing jobs to both groups in a way that one can't really function without the other…
Under such atmosphere, one group would be forced to help the other improve, so that the group itself can perform better;
A competition that helps and benefits the common goal of the entire group despite the outcome of the productivity of either group…
"Alright, let's start with the place; Jin Wang what are your goals for this expansion?"
Dara asked intently, as Jin Wang found out that he had just been given a sort of responsibility that would determine the progress of an entire 250 man strong group….
"Well, since all the land in the area is for the taking, we would take 5 acres outward in every direction and create our wall there…"
"It would have a 25 meter wide and deep ditch outside then place a wall 25 meters high, and 10 meters thick wall above the ground; which means anyone trying to invade our lands would have to climb a height of 25 meters and risk the drop…"
"Then we will keep the circular nature of this place and build bigger rings around this plateau where each group can live in…"
"Fantastic!"
"Great!"
Uncle Min and Aunt Lin were happy that Ji Wang planned on keeping the structure they had used their blood and sweat to create and simply expand it, which to them is a big plus, because everyone who visits this place would point at Jin Chen for being industrious and them for being creative…
"As for the military, we have some basic fighting techniques that was previously in our library and teach it to all of them but would have to wait on cultivation for a while…"
Ji Chen spoke in a thick voice which grabbed everyone's attention; he was like the human monster in the room, and the only person they felt would be able to hold back the Obun Elder other than Dara who can obviously kill them if he intended to…

"We also have some techniques too..."
The First Elder spoke causing Uncle Min and Aunt Lin's skin to tingle intensely…
This was their first time meeting an Obun in person, something that was a big deal in the entire Planet of Jok, and one that can talk like a human was simply unheard of to them…
The rest were born in the Dark Lands, so they don't really know how much Obun's are feared all over the planet or how they came to be, but they had been raised in a time where the word Obun was used to discipline children whenever they are behaving immorally;
"Obun's only eat liars, and they have been said to eat the heart of people who lie, because they believe liars have a heart too weak to speak the truth…"
Statements like these were being made all over the Land of the Light to scare their children into speaking the truth always…
But now they were in the company of one and to some extent they felt superior to those living in the land of the light because to a certain extent, this was something they don't even know is possible;
"We were previously humans banished by our families and then left to be picked up by the imperials to come and serve this fate we currently find ourselves… of-course we have human techniques…"
The First Elder spoke as a matter of factly whilst the Second Elder who seemed to have fallen deeper into the darkness [due to having his vitality sucked by the First Elder] simply nodded in support…
"Oo-kay, so now that we have that out of the way, what do we do about resources?" Dara asked as everything fell back to Aunt Lin;
"Well, I have discovered 5 healing herbs and 12 edible herbs for feeding and also 8 poisonous herbs for defense, but the problem we are having is they are only few in quantity…" She responded as fast as possible;
"So what do we do about that?" Dara pushed further;
"Well, if we still had the meat from the Village Chief's mount here, it could at least last the everyone for a month, and we would then pick one of the fast growing edible food she has discovered and plant them in a farm…"
"We can begin with eating meat for a month, and then planting a herb or fruit that can be harvested monthly, and then use that to supplement the meat, to bring a fresh taste and hope to the entire group as to what we are planning to achieve…"
"Then we can take than extended time to plant more herbs and fruits that would help serve as a change of taste and influx of variety to what people can eat, and once people are fed, they would surely work harder and well…" Ji Wang continued as Dara nodded in support;
"Alright, which of them all should we start with?"
Dara was more concerned about the action because they might as well discuss everything for the next three months and still not pick a piece of log...
"We start with shelter which mean we have to begin the development, and this has to start tomorrow…" Ji Chen spoke;
"We will feed them well today and have them take a long nap so that they can possess enough strength to work at dawn…"
"Great!"
Dara was excited that work could start the next day and the fact that he could now focus on a more important aspect of the group's development made him happy and gave him a huge sigh of relief…
They all discussed some other slight matters before they all split apart and got to work;
The First and Second Elder went to translate the situation to their people, whilst Ji Wang and Ji Chen also returned to do the same to the tribesmen, leaving Uncle Min and Aunt Lin with the job of preparing the meat for feeding....
Then finally, Dara was given some hours to rest because of all he must have been through over the last four to five days, and as fate would have it, Dara didn't know he needed it more than he actually thought, because not long after he rested on his bed, he got off to a snoring doze…
Everything went on as they had planned and the people were given time to settle into the area, and once dusk began to descend, they were all given at least twice the portion of what they normally ate; For the Obun's, their share of the beast was served to them raw whilst the rest had theirs cooked and swerved…
Everyone had their fills, and luckily, the tribesmen were able to find some funny bunch amongst themselves who started telling stories and making jokes, something that helped the rest of their kin settle well a bit into their new lives, and when Ji Wang and Ji Chen saw this from afar, they were pleased…
