Chapter 20: Earth's Stability

The next day, Uno went through his morning routine and waited for everyone to arrive for the meeting.

In a few hours, Randy Cooper and Ian Stewart arrived at the manor. Then, at 9:00 AM, they are set to begin the meeting.

The World Announcement causes Uno's eyes to expand. Randy Cooper and Ian Stewart were both intrigued by Uno's expression. "What's the matter, Village Chief?" the two inquired.

Uno recovers himself and says, "I will tell you, guys, later how the village is progressing."

Randy Cooper reported, "We are delighted to inform you, Village Chief. We successfully constructed three additional farmlands and expanded our food stockpile to 5000 units, yielding 1800 units of potatoes every two weeks. Since our population has not increased, we are expected to consume 50 food units per day. As a result, we anticipate getting 1100 units of food for reserves. Furthermore, we constructed ten wooden houses, each of which can accommodate ten people and improve energy point recovery by 5%. The barracks in the north have already been constructed and are ready for use. The Barack has a cafeteria, dorms, and a training field. Regarding the Wooden Fence, we are awaiting more information from you, Village Chief. In terms of the recruitment notice, we have already chosen 5 new recruits and 3 managers for the three resources."

"Great Work! Randy," Uno praised.

.

"Hm... Ian, any useful loot from yesterday?" Uno continued.

"We obtained boxes of different weapons, but nothing notable," Ian Stewart says.

Uno acknowledges and then discusses the next steps for the village. "Due to unexpected circumstances, we need to prioritize building the wooden fence around our village; Randy and Ian, gather all of the villagers in the village's central location, and there is something I need to say."

.

It took twenty minutes for everyone to assemble in the village's center, at which point Uno walked upon a platform and drew everyone's attention. "I am grateful for everyone's efforts in these past few days. Come, Randy Cooper and Ian Stewart!"

The two approach Uno and salute, "Here, Village Chief."

"I am forming two strike teams for the safety of our village: Team 1 will be formed by the new recruits, and Team 2 will be formed by Eric Wyatt, Edwin Valero, Lowell George, Yoru Akiwara, and Zhang He. I, hereby officially announce, Randy Cooper will captain Team 1 and Ian Stewart will captain Team 2."

"Thank you for your trust, Village Chief," the two said.

"In addition, Randy Cooper, under my instruction, selected managers for our resources; please keep up the good work and strive for success," Uno added with a smile.

"Erhm... Now this is the biggest news and needs everyone's passion and dedication. We received a piece of information about hostile races. We need to build our wooden fence for added protection. Now, with the new strike teams, we are going to clear any hostile forces nearby, but we need to be ready for anything," Uno said, turning serious.

The villagers appeared undisturbed and motivated. Uno turned to his two captains with a confused gaze.

"We frequently fight against different races, and that's why Kinsley Village focused on farming due to small conflicts; we don't really have connections outside Kinsley Village due to hostile races," Captain Ian explained.

"Ah... I see," Then Uno expressed to the people, "This is an opportunity for us to grow and develop; thank you for your time." Uno then dismissed the crowd and instructed the newly promoted captains to lead him to the barrack.

.

Uno examined the barracks' facilities; the cafeteria and dorms can accommodate fifty individuals. There is one room for meetings and discussions, as well as a podium. When Uno touched the podium, a holographic screen appeared.

"Okay, nice." Uno has now a way to provide occupations for his people. "This confirms that Ian Stewart's occupation is a kind of special." Uno's thoughts.

Uno ordered, "Captain Randy, Team 1 will train at the barracks to receive an occupation. I will delegate complete authority over their occupations to you. Captain Ian, Team 2 will need to scout our east for any hostile races. I strongly suggest you scout for more information, and if you come across a hostile race, you can test their strength after completing your scouting mission. Furthermore, a wooden fence is going to be constructed to our west in case the green goblins invade our village. I'll leave to clear the vicinity and scout for any green goblin movements."

The two saluted and answered, "Yes, Village Chief."

.

At 11:00 a.m., Uno left the Invictus Village. He intends to clear as much of the green goblin camp as possible. To lessen the threat posed by green goblins. Uno may be strong, but these green goblins' weapon has the power to injure him.

When Uno first encountered the two green goblins before the enormous goblin camps. He observed a few huge goblin camps that he could clear on his own. Uno intends to clear the major goblin camps while leaving the minor goblin camps for his strike teams. The strike teams will assist him in clearing the green goblin camps tomorrow.

.

After an hour of journey, Uno arrived at a massive green goblin camp after passing through several minor camps. Because he is traveling alone, Uno's trip time is greatly shortened.

Uno's left hand held a white book. "Nice, Hm..." Uno muttered as he considered whether or not to utilize it. Uno decided to keep it as a reward for his people.

Uno searched the green goblin camps. He discovered weapon stockpiles and a chest of silver coins. Then he continued his campaign to eliminate green goblin camps.

After 40 minutes, Uno's ability skill [D: Urge] leveled up to 2.

"Hm... Underwhelming, but it makes sense." After ten minutes, Uno discovered that he can activate [D: Urge] for every four minutes. "Whoa! AHHAHA."

.

Uno arrived at a green goblin settlement after 15 minutes and was given the same mission. He began scouting to discover which were the simplest to break into.

In this particular instance, the green goblin village is tightly secured, and he saw some patrolling green goblins. Uno intends to be cautious and will wait for the patrolling green goblins to enter the village. In roughly 20 minutes, the wooden gate opens and the patrolling green goblins are getting ready to enter the settlement. Uno seized the opportunity and dashed to gain control of the wooden gate.

Uno easily slaughtered the green goblins and proceeded to enter the green goblin settlement.
