129 Planning summary, new side quests!

The status and privileges granted to Marco and Sparrow as nobles this time aren't merely Allen's whim; rather, Allen needs to fulfill his promise and set an example for other officials.

Allen doesn't mind granting them power and status as long as they are willing to swear allegiance to him and serve him.

Of course, the results are evident. After the carnival, over the next few days, several officials who pledged their allegiance came to Allen's Sirius Castle one after another.

Allen wasn't surprised at all.

The challenge facing Allen now is, in fact, quite simple. It's about gradually reclaiming farmland and steadily increasing the number of civilians. The more civilians there are, the faster the farmland can be reclaimed.

Simultaneously, with more civilians, it becomes easier to recruit enough soldiers.

Regarding the issue of gold coins, it has significantly eased, and soon he can continue to train warriors.

Allen is content with this situation.

Currently, there are more than 15,000 warriors in the Sirius Territory, and in a few days, there will be 1,000 soldiers becoming knights.

Allen intends to divide them into three groups.

Five hundred will become wolf cavalry soldiers since he needs to deal with more threats on the ground.

There will be three hundred air cavalry and two hundred sea cavalry, but these aren't pressing matters. Allen plans to wait until they all become knights and then use potions to rapidly enhance their strength.

To that end, Allen has already started potion training, so there's no need to worry about it.

He only needs to wait a few days, and the potions will likely flow in. Then, it will be the time when the strength of the Allen Knights makes significant strides.

Once the strength of the knight force increases and enters the next stage, Allen plans to establish three orders of knights.

Each order corresponds to the sea, land, and air, respectively.

With magical beasts as their partners, such a knight group won't be inferior in strength.

As for the soldiers, Nick has already initiated training as a senior potionist.

Once Nick achieves senior potionist status, he can produce dragon potions, and only one of these potions will be needed per person.

Nick's task is indeed substantial, but it can be accomplished at a steady pace.

Once the dragon potions are administered, the combat effectiveness of Aaron's warriors will soar. At least Allen is confident that in the Principality of Ryan, there won't be any troops capable of competing with his soldiers.

The above tasks should be achievable within the next month. After that, the farmland reclamation task will also be completed. It remains to be seen what rewards will be obtained.

Once the farmland is cleared, Alan can let the spirits of nature begin to cultivate crops.

This world may not offer an abundance of benefits, but they're always present. With the spirit of nature, crops can be sown and harvested year-round.

However, even if Allen has numerous fairies and spirits of nature, there is too much land in the entire Sirius Territory. These spirits of nature can only tend to the land around Sirius City.

These are challenges that the territory will face, but they won't significantly impact Allen.

Allen has more than fairies; he also possesses the holy fairy Lucy.

With substantial farmland reclamation, Lucy alone can manage most of the territory's land.

The last challenge is business, but this problem has been resolved through collaboration with Miss Anna from the Roland Chamber of Commerce.

As long as the Roland Chamber of Commerce establishes a branch in Sirius City, there's no doubt that Sirius City will become the second economic center of the Principality of Lane.

"To put it simply, all I need now is time. Within a month, my Sirius territory will undergo a significant transformation."

"What I need to worry about now isn't the issue of Sirius City; it's more about overseeing the construction of other cities."

"While I've built some small towns using primary construction accelerator cards, it's not easy to develop them into small towns or more prosperous large cities."

Allen strokes his chin, deep in thought.

"I can mobilize some tree men and tauren from the tree man factory. The centaurs can form an engineering team and start building these towns."

"The other issue is the road. Previously, the construction of the commercial road was delayed due to a lack of gold coins and manpower. Now that other problems have been resolved one after another, the commercial road should continue."

"With Sirius City as the center, it will connect various towns and cities, improving caravan traffic and driving the development of the entire Sirius territory."

Allen contemplates his plans, and at this moment, the system, which had been silent in his mind for a long time, beeps once again.

"Ding, triggered a side quest: Build a small town."

"As a count lord, what you need in your territory isn't just a thriving main city but at least ten charming small towns. Enhancing the quality of life for your people is a priority for any lord."

"Building ten small towns into prosperous communities will earn you greater support from your people."

"Quest reward: 100,000 experience points! Each small town comes with three spirits of nature."

"Ding, triggered another side quest: The Road to Commerce!"

"As the first-generation earl, the development of the territory necessitates the establishment of a commerce network. These roads are the lifelines of the territory, driving its growth."

"Task reward: 50,000 experience points, along with a dwarf tribe from the East."

"Huh? Another side quest triggered?" Allen smiles.

"It's like I'm feeling drowsy and someone just offered me a pillow."

Alan is quite content with this system, which always provides valuable assistance.

He doesn't waste any time and immediately instructs Butler Edward to prepare his mount, the Silver Moon Wolf, and to notify Sparrow.

Shortly after, Sparrow and Allen leave Sirius City on the Silver Moon Wolf.

As for their destination, it's clear that they're heading to the treeman factory to construct houses. Tree men are highly skilled in this area. Additionally, they plan to work on road construction, which will require the assistance of tauren and centaurs.

Upon arrival at the Tree Man Factory, they discover that it's quite extensive. Given the number of orcs residing there, it's necessary to have such a large facility for various tasks.

"My lord, the Tree Man Factory is currently engaged in shipbuilding for the southern port of Nika," Sparrow informs Allen as they enter the factory. It's spacious and conveniently located near the river, making boat construction a straightforward task.

The tree people are hard at work, manufacturing various items such as farm tools, wooden furniture, boats, and more.

Tauren and centaurs are responsible for handling large items, as their strength is well-suited for it. This is why Allen hasn't stationed many humans at the factory. Humans are primarily focused on design and coordination.

Allen is quite pleased with the state of affairs. All the products, whether furniture, wooden items, or boats, bear the wolf head emblem, signifying their origin from Sirius.
