Problems After Rapid Expansion

By the end of the day, Arthur got many notifications indicating that many cities were already conquered.

He must summon civil and military officials to manage the entire island.

By the end of a week, the entire Rica island was under his control. From this, he got about 100 summoning chances. Including the previous ones, he had a total of 200 summoning chances.

Also in this week, by daily checking in and cultivating, he had reached the peak of Energy Sensing Realm and the first stage of Absolute Body Scripture.

He used summoning chances like crazy to summon civil, military and economic officials.

He even summoned another 9000 guards as well as 900 maids.

He fused the guards and sent 7000 Nightfall Guards to the cities all over the island. As for the maids, after he upgraded to kingdom, he would get a city and a palace.

So he would need them.

He also used summoning chances to summon five armies.

Arthur got two of the more famous army in the history of Earth. The Roman Legion and Byzantine Cavalry.

Each army had a total of million soldiers which was insane but he felt that it wasn't too big for a province.

After everything was done, he had a total of five million soldiers, ten thousand Immortals and ten thousand guards.

All of them were at Energy Sensing Realm.

He had a hunch that they were enough to sweep a few neighbouring provinces with ease. But the problem weren't the province, but the sea that surrounds the Rica island.

Not only was the distance too far away, the sea monsters were even more of a headache.

Even after a week, Diana wasn't able to control all the sea monsters near the shore.

One must not forget that it was just Arthur whose cultivation didn't break through yet. But everyone else except him have broken through.

This doesn't include those summoned in a group.

In simple words, all the legendary figures including Lisa have reached the Foundation Realm.

Not just that, they have even established the legendary Nine-floored Foundation.

When one breaks through and reached the Foundation Realm, they must create a foundation tower in their body.

Higher the floors, more better their future cultivation path would be. But that doesn't mean it is easy to establish many floors.

Most would only be able to create a single floor. At most they might be able to create two if they were lucky.

Only those geniuses had a chance to create five floors. Even though, it was only a small chance.

As for those who could create more than five, they were no longer humans. They were just - MONSTERS!

Now let's talk about the legendary Nine-floored Foundation. Well, you just have to imagine how difficult it might.

On a second thought, telling it difficult would be an insult to it's difficulty.

Right now, Arthur was at the peak of Energy Sensing Realm.

It was only because the power from daily check-in was too low as well as the speed of Absolute Body Scripture was too slow.

If not for this, he could have easily broken through by now.

But that wasn't the problem for now.

Because the sea creatures were a real problem. Even if there were no sea creatures, there was another problem just waiting next door.

There were no ships.

Since they have just entered the cultivation path, so it would be a long time before they could gain the ability to fly.

It might take a dozen or so years before they could fly and obviously Arthur couldn't wait that long.

For now, he planned to let many blacksmiths, crafters, designers, and formation masters join his kingdom.

He would let them built as many ships as they can so that he could use them.

But there were still problems with this approach.

First and foremost, there aren't many skilled people available on the Rica island. The Rica island was not only weak but they didn't even developed much.

Secondly, there were not many useful resources to build good quality ships. Even if they could gather skilled humans, there might not be much they could do if there were no raw materials.

And lastly, it would just take too long. Because no one was skilled in building such huge ships, it might even take longer than ten years.

It wasn't even guaranteed that they would be successful.

Arthur had already thought about using summoning chances to summon some good blacksmiths and such but he didn't knew what he would summon.

Even if he accidently did summon what he wanted, he couldn't just produce raw materials out of thin air, right?

Thus Arthur felt a headache just thinking about it.

Now, his only hope would be the rewards from the establishment of his empire.

Also, the requirements were just to conquer twelve cities yet there he was, sitting on a sofa after conquering an entire province.
