First Vassal City

With the bait having been thrown out, they can only wait for the fish to bite.

While that is going on, back at honor city. Another event is taking place and it is the first so far for Daniel.

"My lord, the city can no longer house so many people." said George with a calm expression.

Knowing the power that Daniel holds, he wasn't worried at all. Witnessing a city come into being with just a wave of his lord hands. He have no doubts that the lord can fix any issues they may face.

Seeing the calm expression on George face, Daniel knows exactly what he is thinking.

Shaking his head and said "find the best place to build a city and inform me immediately. Make temporary shelters for everyone that have just arrived."

When George first ask to meet him, he didn't expect to know that the huge city is now fully occupied. Although he can see many people from the 3D hologram, it didn't really tell him that the city is at max capacity.

Seems like the scouting units have done their job with great success. Ever since he recruited them and send all the units out, a constant stream of humans tribe of various sizes came to the city. This greatly boosted his population and many have join the military which save money on recruiting soldiers from the system.

Looking at his remaining seven million gold in the store inventory, Daniel can still buy normal city that can hold around one hundred thousand people. Any city blueprint like honor city is to costly for him at the moment since their are other things he need the gold for.

Even though the circulation of money through the city is in effect and he received tax from the people. It is still to little for him to use since a top tier city like honor city cost around ten million gold and can hold up to five hundred thousand people.

"Yes lord, I will send someone to scout out for a good location." replied George respectfully.

"Also summon Harold to the palace, I wish to speak with him." said Daniel.

"Right away."

It didn't take long for Harold to arrived inside the palace. Daniel is nothing short of a holy deity to the population and being summon by him is an honor not many can enjoy. And only those that is either with him since the beginning or the people he trust can ask to meet him.

"I greet the lord!" said Harold kneeling on one knee.

"Hmmm, get up and take a seat."

"Thank you lord."

Taking his seat with a straight back and waiting for Daniel to speak nervously. Harold still have a hard time believing that he was summon by this legendary figure. He only seen Daniel once and heard many things from his father.

Noticing Harold uneasy expression, Daniel let out a sigh and said "relax, I'm not going to eat you or anything. I called you here regarding about a new city I'm building soon."

Hearing what his lord said calm him down a little bit as excitement emerge. If he guessed correctly then their will be a great opportunity for him and his clan. By being one of the six appointed vassal clans, of course he knows about the promise Daniel made.

Standing up, Harold got on his knees once again and said "I'm at your service my lord!"

"Calm down, I'm just doing what I promised back then. Also I want to honor your father for his sacrifice during the fight against the orcs. Your father Hector is a good man, if it wasn't for him then many more would have died." said Daniel.

He can still remember what Markus recounted about Hector deeds. On the first day, he lead the soldiers and fought valiantly against the orcs. Stopping many foothold from forming, prevent ladders from attaching to the walls, and destroyed a few siege towers. Even when his right arm was cut off and body full of injuries, he still continued to fight. When the first wall fall, Hector volunteer to stay behind to buy time for everyone else to run.

A man like that deserves Daniel respect.

Couldn't hold back his feelings, Harold tears started to fall nonstop. He can still remember his father smiling face even though the latter know that death is coming for him. When they retrieved his mutilated corpse, that smile never faded from his face.

"Thank you for your generosity your majesty!" said Harold kneeling on both knees and bowed respectfully towards Daniel.

Unknowingly, he have begin to change the way he addresses Daniel.

This didn't go unnoticed either but decided to think about it at a later date, Daniel said "your clan deserves it, as for when will the city be built. I will have someone inform you when the time comes."

"Understood, do you need me to do anything in the mean time your majesty?"

"Not for now but the time will come when I will call upon your family banner." said Daniel as he signal for Harold to take his leave.

"We will forever be at your service!" saluted Harold before taking his leave after seeing the gesture.

Watching Harold leaving, Daniel let out a chuckle and thought 'I rather be called your majesty then be worship as a god.'

'Sigh...I know. There have been reports of the citizens worshipping me at the church inside honor city. They even replaced the god statue with a statue of myself."

As the conversation continues, one of the royal guards walked in and saluted before saying "my lord, a messenger from dawn fortress have arrived. He is requesting to meet you."

Daniel face instantly became solemn since dawn fortress is at the frontline and any message from their can be a dire one.

"Send him in."
