Chapter 12

I tore the letters to shreds.

Now, it's about time I focus on kingdom building. I gathered all of the villagers within the village plaza. There were like, only 93 of us. And I only know two of them.

My alchemy apprentice, Oliver, and his friend, Mark.

Well, I don't think they're friends anymore. I don't know why but I guess people really do grow apart. Sad but true.

I stood in front of all of them, with Oliver beside me, and announced my plans for this village.

...

Only a month has passed and I have already trained formidable soldiers! They numbered 30 with Oliver as their leader. It's no surprise since after all of the pills and potions downed by Oliver, he has surprisingly built a nice endurance and a very adaptive body.

The strongest always gets to be the leader.

The more beatings I gave him, the more he will adapt and now he can go toe to toe with two bears. Okay, I did help him a little when the other bear was about to bite his head off but that's okay. A little bit of life and death situations will only make you stronger!

Other than Oliver, my soldiers are also strong as I have taught them my finger technique and let them practice cultivation. But they're still low level so I had to teach them my forbidden skill for them to be useful. It wasn't as powerful as mine but with the combined power of 30 people and Oliver, they could create a fearsome golden attack to drown the enemy!

I had to give a name for the skill so that I could easily shout out the commands. So I named the skill, "Golden Shower".

"Okay! My soldiers! Let's! Raid!"

We then attacked the village beside us. My soldiers fingered the crap out of them and we soon took hold of the village.

I went to their Village hall and learned that this village was named "Communism". I was so disgusted that I had to slap their tied-up Village Chief and rename the village to "2nd Village".

"You! How dare you slap me! Leave now and I'll let you off! Don't you know that I am the son of the Town Leader of Sunshine Town who is backed by the City Lord of Grey City that is serving under His Majesty, the King, King Leonard of the Kingdom of Su—

Oliver slapped him into unconsciousness.

"Oh, thank you Oli—" Before I even finished my words, Oliver hurriedly approached me.

"Master! We have a problem! While we were raiding Communism Village, the Legendary Black Knight Bandit King came attacking our village seeking revenge!" He shouted as he was drenched in sweat.

"It's called 2nd village now Oliv—"

"Master!" Oliver shook me as his face paled.

"Alright alright, how is that even possible? We've set-up a huge-ass wall around the village. So they can still last until we come back."

"But Master! The Legendary Black Knight Bandit King is actually inside the village already and has kept everyone hostage!"

"What?! How!" I was bewildered as I shook Oliver left and right. I almost spurted a mouthful of blood!

"He was actually disguised as my previous friend, Mark! A wolf in sheep's clothing! I should've known from the start. That guy has always been a traitorous basta—!"

I slapped his face.

"Watch your language young man!" I slapped Oliver once more and hurriedly ran back to the 1st Village.
