Chapter 38
{ Day Five 4 ( Cleaning the Borders ) }
The sun reached its midpoint, announcing that half the day had passed
The bandit village was operating with its filthy smoothly as usual
Sounds of laughter came from here and there
Sounds of fighting
The village was unorganized
No walls
No patrols
A filthy stench from afar
A scene of bones everywhere
Torn tents
Some sounds of screaming… of a man playing with a girl inside
…the full realistic scene of a bandit village
“Crush them,” Ian ordered
Yaseen stood at the front and waved his staff
“Summon the Barbarians”
“Enemy attack!” the bandits shouted as they rushed out of their tents in haste
Before them stood an army of more than 220
Knights on war horses
Warriors
Archers
Among them, 30 at the First Level
1 at the Second Level
A powerful tiger
A pack of wolves
“Mom!!” The bandit leader was shocked and fled immediately
His camp held around 100 people and did not even have 10 at the First Level
Before this formation, he was weaker than weakness itself
“Slaughter them,” Ian ordered
The first to move was Yaseen
He had already done so earlier, as 15 barbarians appeared on the battlefield
The barbarians were a special type of humans
Their lineage was powerful and ancient, transforming their bodies into living weapons with strength capable of shattering mountains themselves
Their bodies—men and women alike—were extremely muscular and shone like bronze
They wore leather around their sensitive areas and necklaces hung with the claws of powerful beasts they had killed, as a form of pride

They did not usually use weapons, as their hands and feet were weapons
They tore through the bandits on the battlefield and cared about no one… not even their own injuries
The bandits fled quickly, caring neither for their treasures nor their friends
“My friend… I’m counting on you,” Yaseen smiled
A bray
The donkey brayed once, and suddenly they appeared on the other side of the bandit village, blocking their path
The fleeing bandits froze, and before they could react, Yaseen activated another skill: “Message of Sorrow
”
Suddenly, the sound of a sorrowful heavenly melody appeared, and as a result, all the bandits froze in place
And there was something that froze them in place
The Titan forces arrived and slaughtered them with ease
The white tiger swallowed one of them whole in a single bite
The twelve wolves leapt at the bandits, tearing them apart
The knights, led by Lily, completely swept through them
…
Minutes!!
A few minutes proved the complete disappearance of this bandit village
The gap in power was like day and night for Ian, which made him smile
Ian collected the spoils, which were meager compared to the Nobu village—honestly, very little, they did not even reach 10%, they also possessed nothing special like the Freezing Fruit
But at least there was a group of girls with torn clothes, bearing marks of torture and brutal treatment
Their faces were to the ground… pale… frightened… completely unwilling to live
There were exactly 19 of them, with an average age between sixteen and thirty
Ian gathered them behind him and sent the units through the Heavenly Mirror, then moved on to the next location
There were three bandit villages on the borders of the Titan village
Their power levels were nearly the same, so Ian took little time dealing with them, cleaning and securing his borders
Likewise, he obtained three common Genesis Stones, a decent number of materials and currencies, and… 43 human girls
They would be responsible for handling the land… clothing… preparing food… and would have many roles in the village
Unfortunately, their grades were not high enough to obtain important positions, but these things gradually filled the gaps in the Titan village
Now Ian wanted some researchers and other people to work as alchemists to help Martin in the garden and in making grains… but it would not be that easy—nor that difficult either
Ian stood before the artificial lake in his village and smiled as he saw it filled with water, with Light Fish beginning to multiply inside
Their reproduction rate was very fast, which was what Ian wanted
More importantly, they were capable of memorizing a single order and executing it without fear for their lives
Aside from their spawning rate, they laid dozens of eggs daily
They were practically an unparalleled army, but unfortunately their flesh was rotten, and they were not soldiers… even their size was only that of an adult’s fist, or slightly larger
But Ian wanted them for something else
The Spawning Stone
Ian wanted it… but sending his men would be complete foolishness
Even with the transformation skill, it had many limitations… and honestly, the danger below was unknown
Ian spent some time, and to his shock, he saw Third Level and Fourth Level monsters
The Second Level already gave him a severe headache without Yaseen—so what about those at the Third or Fourth Level?
Thus, following Yaseen’s advice, he decided to take a different approach and find a Den for these fish
Lily found it in the lake with some luck, and they brought it to the village
From there, the Titan village began taking a bigger step forward
“Gather them carefully,” Ian ordered as he sent instructions to the Light Fish
They were his followers, and he knew how to communicate with them
One order… they understood it and would execute it well
And even if they died in the process, Ian would not care
They were merely tools in the end
The soldiers carried them in large jars filled with water and took them toward the lake there
At this moment, two strange notifications reached Ian
The first was—
**The player Fridge has obtained a horn and decided to send a greeting to the world**
“”To all Human Lords… I am in the Monster Province, I invite you all to witness the promotion ceremony of my developed village into a town
””
Village
Developed Village
Town
This Fridge is doing a great job… Ian thought calmly as he sensed focus gathering in his mind
This did not come from the game, but from reality
It was a message from Peter
Peter, on the phone, using the private line… what was wrong?
Ian sent some instructions and logged out of the game
The moment he exited, there were ten missed calls from Peter
Ian raised the watch and said calmly, “What’s wrong, you idiot? And why are you calling the private number?”
“Hurry… Ian… I killed Jina,” Peter said in an unbelieving voice
“What?” Ian was stunned
“Hurry… hurry… I’m in my apartment and she… she… is dead
”
Then there was the sound of something falling, and the call was cut off
Peter… you idiot… what kind of disaster have you dragged yourself into this time
