Chapter 138: Chapter 13

Night was already about to engulf the world when Xiao Chen and his warriors made their way back inside the city of Yohan. They carried with them their wounded allies, mostly the taurens. Some trolls also suffered some wounds after chasing after the taurens and stumbled because their legs gave up on them.

Adhalia and Draegh’ana came back together after putting out the flames that were caused by the female orc while ensuring that there was nothing left that might spark a fire in the wheat field after they were gone.

It was an overwhelming victory, with none of them falling, but almost the entire taurens that joined in the battle were out of commission and can’t do their daily duties of a patrol around the city because of their injuries.

Xiao Chen ordered Mohrios and his kin, who took part in the previous engagement to recover their injuries first before returning to duty. He strictly gave them an order to rest and whoever doesn’t obey and force himself back into his duty would be punished by him personally.

Draegh’ana already dispelled her summons and sent them to rest, but the goat man didn’t want to be sent back and stayed with his master and followed after her. The residents of the city were surprised to see a satyr looking creature walking around the city but soon paid it no heed after learning that it was Draegh’ana’s summon.

“Phew... What a tiring day!” Xiao Chen muttered as he started removing his armor, which was covered in blood and bits of flesh. He sniff his own body and scrunched his nose. He stinks of blood and sweat. After removing all his armors he was about to remove his clothes when the flaps of his tent was raised.

.....

Adhalia and Draegh’ana came inside his tent and the goat man was just behind them. “Why don’t you construct a suitable home for yourself, chief. Almost all of us already lived in structures that were built with the what you call cement and it was only you who lived inside a tent.” Adhalia muttered as he stared at Xiao Chen, who was bringing down his shirt.

Many buildings were built to give the residents of the city a proper home. He had them designed like apartments complete with their own bathrooms and water supply, which comes from the enormous and tall water towers that were properly placed around the city.

Only he and the ogres were the ones who didn’t live inside the modern structures that he had designed. The ogres protested against them living inside those tall towers as they like it better on the ground. They stated that they like the cold, hard ground better than staying inside those towering structures. Xiao Chen wanted to convince them more but soon gave up as the ogres were really against the idea of them living inside those structures.

“You should draw up a majestic design of a home that fits your status as the chieftain and leader of this city. You might not have realized it just yet but Rakh’ash’tha and the others were already planning to build one for you if you don’t step forward and you would surely regret it after looking at the plans made by that witch doctor... ugh...” Draegh’ana joined in as she shook her head after remembering the design made by Rakh’ash’ta.

It was an enormous looking tent that is filled with primitive designs. She can’t really imagine seeing a structure that was made of cement which looked like a tent

Xiao Chen, facepalmed after hearing the words of Draegh’ana. It seemed that he can’t avoid designing a home for himself. He already had a blueprint for his own home, but he set it aside and had the builders focused first on the housing of his residents.

*****

Inside his own home, Rakh’ash’tha was smiling proudly while looking at the blueprint that he himself designed. It was going to be the home of the chief and it must be the biggest in the city; he decided as he changed the measurements on the blueprint and tripled them.

After dismissing the two ladies and the goat man, that was following them around. Xiao Chen headed towards one of the public bathrooms that was around. He washed himself clean and used one of Rakh’ash’ta’s creations, which he taught him to make, a soap whose scent came from the mountain flowers.

Relaxing his body, he arranged his thoughts and got off the water and wore a new set of clothes before heading back to his tent.

A few days of march to the south, the kobolds were busy digging the ground to create the base of the road. A few meters away from them was the pile of cement and iron rods that were to be used to build the road. Mounds of river sand were also scattered along the path of the road.

They were the ones tasked with building the road while taurens and ogres patrol the surroundings to ensure their safety. The huge ogres that walked around them made them feel safe since, on many occasions, they trampled down many hostile creatures that attempted to raid the kobolds. ????????????re???????? ????????????

The kobolds were merrily doing their job and didn’t think of anything else. They are supplied with food, a home that they can call their own, which was the Xin Village that they cordoned off. The previous village was now turned into a village of the kobolds. The towering walls of it were now expanded and were turned into an enormous box surrounding the entire village. The concrete walls on all sides of the village turned it into a prison like structure as rocks and soil from the Lag’ranna Mountains was covering its top to camouflage it. Darkness reigned inside the enormous square structure, but the kobolds like it that way, day or night, the village is in eternal darkness.

The gateways were now sealed and there was no other way inside the village but the tunnels that they created themselves. From time to time, the chieftain would come and inspect the tunnels and their progress on carving the insides of the Lag’ranna Mountains. He wanted to create a hidden fortress inside the Lag’ranna Mountains, which would hide many of Yohan’s secrets that must not be revealed to the world.

Other creatures who were bigger and stronger than them always bullied before the kobolds, but now, they have a haven for themselves under the protection of their chieftain. They work almost every day, but they like it since it was their way of repaying the kindness and protection that was being given to them.
