**Chapter 15
{ Village Management }**
Wolf Den.
Description: A den capable of raising a group of Strong Wolves.
Current Rank: Common (Progress Rate 0%)
Troop Count: 0
Reproduction rate: 3 per day
{ Strong Wolves… a type of wolves }
Ian placed the Wolf Den inside the village… then performed the summon.
Three Strong Wolves appeared before him.
Strong Wolf
Age: 1 / 100
Grade: Common
Title: None
Training Level: 0 (Progress Rate 0%)
Loyalty: 100%
Now his strength had increased…
The second thing was distributing the items…
The rare sword and shield were given to Kris, considering him his first and strongest fighter, and his future general.
The remaining Normal items were distributed among the rest of his forces.
Ian currently had 53 fighters… not counting himself, the White Tiger, and the three wolves.
As for his items, they had increased greatly… he possessed many common items, around 4000 Bronze Coins, and nearly 300 Silver Coins…
His wealth had increased tremendously… but there was nowhere to spend it.
If I could trade them for other items like herbs, I would gain a huge breakthrough…
Well… for now, the military side is good… not that good, but good enough.
Now there were other problems with food {storage and supply}. Defense. Training (since Aliano had not yet searched for a training skill). Herbs. Houses. Water (even though I have a source, it's very far). Labor (I have a mine but no workers) except for the 5 goblins.
I also need to start lumbering to obtain the third requirement for building the Village Hall… not to mention that I don’t even know a source for the stones required for construction.
(( Build the Village Hall ))
Requirements:
1- 500 pieces of wood
2- 1000 pieces of stone
3- 200 pieces of yellow iron

Wood can be acquired from any tree, but the stones must be suitable in size and weight…
Where… where can I obtain them?
Ian thought… there were many problems in the village…
Alright, let’s start slowly.
“Boban… go scout,” Ian said. “I want a full survey of the village borders, mile by mile.”
“As you command, my lord, but… I… am very weak,” Boban said awkwardly. “If… if you give me a Mage Class Change Stone, I would be…”
"Forget it," Ian cut him off.
It would be foolish to entrust it to him.
This stone was a powerful treasure for Ian.
The problem wasn’t Boban himself but all the goblins.. Their numbers were greater than the humans. And at the same time their loyalty was very low… giving them more power would be a tremendous danger to Ian and a knife that would keep him from sleeping at night.
"Move now," Ian ordered.
"As you command." Disappointment appeared in Boban’s eyes and he left to explore.
Another problem was solved… the borders. Now the problem of food.
"Noa… take four goblin soldiers to the river borders.. This river is the lifeline, you will find many beasts and feeding birds relying on it.. search for chicken dens and others," Ian ordered.
"As you command." Noa bowed and left.
"You five," Ian pointed at the five elderly goblins. "You will cut the wood around the village.. but do not touch the trees in the back, and place them in barriers in front of the village where I will point to you."
The five bowed and began working.
Cutting wood would provide space for movement and wider visibility.. and placing it around the village would create natural barriers and other defenses.. hitting three birds with one stone.
Now the defense and food were finished.. although the garden would soon produce some berries and vegetables and fruit trees, but in Ian’s view this was foolish.. using something this magnificent for something so trivial was a complete waste.. but he had no choice.. there were no herbs now..
And now the training problem. "Aliano," Ian called.
"Lord," Aliano came rushing.
"What about the training skill?" Ian asked.
"Not yet." Aliano bowed apologetically. "Lord.. what you’ve asked for is difficult for my mastery and the mastery level of the Science and Studies Building right now, and it will take some time.. this is besides the other things I’m researching that take more and more time."
"How long do you need?" Ian asked.
"Four more days.. At minimum," Aliano said shyly.
He understood the importance of what Ian had requested.. This skill, if it appeared, would be an enormous blessing for the entire village and would form an unmatched army.. But it equally required long research time, otherwise he would've finished it in a few hours at most..
Ian frowned and nodded. "Very well, take your time…"
And now the herb problem…
"Porto… you will take two of the human soldiers and go outside to search for healing herbs… poisonous ones… special fruits… but remember, you must return by morning to give your report."
"Alright." Porto bowed and left.
He was an archer, and all archers excelled in agility and speed.. Not to mention he was a goblin to begin with.. Their bodies were far more practical than humans when it came to climbing and movement.
Porto leapt up, climbing a tree easily and began using them as stations, jumping between them like a monkey.
The two humans tried to follow him and the result was… extremely difficult for them.
Ian assigned the roles so that humans and goblins would be together, increasing their bonding.
The housing problem would be ignored for now as they had no blueprint and no stones for construction… barely solving the wood problem, and with even more difficulty they would solve the yellow iron problem because the mine was far away.
Blueprints were the fundamentals of any structure at all levels… but at low level neither the researcher nor the Science and Studies Building could search for them.. they must rise to the next level.. or at least find them in loot… but that depended on luck.
Water… hmm… Ian thought he would ignore this problem for now as well… he would think about it when he returned to Earth.
Labor… stones… he would think about those later too..
While Ian was busy with his thoughts, Chris came and bowed.
"Lord… there is something I’ve been thinking about since we returned from the bandit village."
"What is it?"
"Why didn’t we find any yellow iron? Or red!! In cave "Chris said.
Ian: "…??!"
---
On the other side.
The cave where the bandit village once was..
Sniff…
"Oh… seems it has fallen… the scent of humans and beasts…"
The speaker was an Orc.
Green skin, bald head.. Two and a half meters tall.. Massive muscles… a great sword on his back… wearing beast hide crudely, exposing his muscular body filled with battle scars… beneath him was a savage wolf serving as his mount..
Orc… the race known for courage, strength, and warriors.
"Seems you have disappointed expectations, human princess… good… let’s see who this insect is that meddled in our work," the Orc laughed.
Awoooooooooooooooooo—
