Chapter 30

After listening to Duke Richard’s words, Joshua had been worried for a long time.

The leisurely daily life was about to disappear? There were actually many countries that wanted to build towns here.

In the city hall, Joshua had been pacing back and forth for a long time. The people around him were all silent, not daring to make a sound.

“Since this has already happened, there’s nothing we can do now! We can only analyze our current situation and then proceed with the next step of the plan.”

Since the area was about to become a place where many countries would build their cities, it would not be long before a war broke out.

Duke Richard had just left today. In other words, his purpose of coming here today was to survey and select a site.

Therefore, what Joshua could do now was to perfect his village when they came here to build their own city.

The most important thing in a town was the city wall! The higher and stronger the city wall was, the more impenetrable the city would be.

Therefore, the first thing to do was to build the city wall.

The second thing was to build an army. With a well-trained army, they would not have to fear the invasion of external enemies.

The third was the city defense equipment. It could allow the army in the city to better defend themselves!

Around noon, Joshua finally decided on all the things he needed to do.

He left the public office and went to the Science and Technology Academy to help Alger celebrate today’s opening ceremony.

Today was a very good day. He did not expect Duke Richard to bring this news! Joshua was in a bad mood.

Seeing the unhappy look on Joshua’s face, Alger shouted in his ear, “Village Chief Joshua? Village Chief Joshua?”

“Ah! What’s wrong?”

“Why are you absent-minded today? I’ve already called you many times and you only remembered to reply to me now!”

Hearing this, Joshua felt a little guilty, so he apologized, “I’m really sorry, I encountered something today!”

Then, Joshua told him about Duke Richard…

“What? There are other countries coming here to build their own cities? It seems that we have to speed up our progress. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if we encounter a war!”

Not only did Joshua think so, even Alger, who had not experienced stuff like this much, knew about this matter.

After thinking for a while, Joshua told him about the matter of building a city wall.

Alger listened for a while and his mind started to think quickly.

“Yes! There’s no problem with this idea. It can be implemented at this stage! I need to go around the perimeter for a few rounds of the construction of the city wall. When the time comes, just remember to arrange for Georgi to go with me!”

Seeing that Alger was so proactive, Joshua was very touched.

Seeing Joshua’s expression, Alger could only stand behind Joshua and pat his back to comfort him. “I’m the Chief of the Science and Technology Academy. It’s natural for me to do these things!”

After finishing matters at the Science and Technology Academy, Joshua went back home.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw the four girls playing there happily.

So, Joshua quietly walked into the room from the side, intending to lie quietly on the bed and rest for a while.

Not long after, the silence was broken and Alexia quietly entered the room.

When Joshua came back, Alexia had felt Joshua’s presence.

Because she felt the unpleasant feelings from Joshua, she did not say anything but quietly slipped away from the sight of the three people.

When she returned to the room, she immediately threw herself into Joshua’s arms and shouted, “Joshua, you don’t look very happy! Did something happen to you? If it’s a bad person, I’ll help you. I’ll chase them all away!”

When he heard this, Joshua was not surprised because Alexia had the ability to do so.

However, in Joshua’s eyes, she was still a child who was less than a hundred years old. Therefore, Joshua did not intend to let her come into contact with killing other than to eat.

“There are bad people. I will chase them all away myself. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about such things, alright, Alexia?”

Seeing that Joshua was pretending to be calm, even if Alexia knew who the enemy was, she could not do anything that would make Joshua unhappy.

“If there is a day when Joshua really needs me, you must look for me. No matter what or when, Alexia will always be standing by your side!”

Hearing the words from this young and tender voice, Joshua felt deeply honored and gently stroked her head.

The two of them hugged each other and fell asleep on the bed together.

When it was evening, the door was knocked.

“Young master! It’s Mortimer, I have something to ask you.”

Hearing Mortimer’s voice, Joshua immediately sat up and put Alexia, who was sleeping soundly, to the side.

He opened the door and brought Mortimer to the office.

“Young master, we have sent an elite of the winged race to investigate the situation. Just as Richard said, the entire eastern road to the undeveloped land has been sealed off. Because the demi-humans cannot enter the human territory, other information can not be obtained.

“But what can be confirmed is that what Richard said is basically true. On the way back, they discovered that there were people building towns at several locations around us!”

After hearing Mortimer’s words, Joshua fell into deep thought.

“That’s the general situation. I won’t disturb you for the rest of today!” After saying that, he left the room and closed the door.

It was not until the sun set that Joshua returned to normal.

Looking at the empty room, Joshua was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that it was already very late.

“Looks like I have to properly discuss this situation with the various races in the city tomorrow!”

Only after he had a thorough understanding of the people’s wishes in the city could he proceed with the next step of his plan.

Early the next morning, Joshua arrived at the city hall.

He also informed Georgi to call all the leaders of the demi-human races over.

After lunch, the meeting began.

In the past few months, the scale of Puba Village had increased by more than a few times.

Now, other than the original nine great demi-human races, there were a few more in the village. Its total number had reached an astonishing eighteen.

Looking at the dozen or so people below the stage, Joshua immediately expressed his thoughts to everyone.

“I really hope that we will be able to live in peace for a long time! But recently, the undeveloped land of the entire eastern continent has undergone great changes. Many countries of this continent have already arrived on this land.

“Moreover, these people have already started to build cities in the surroundings! In the future, we will no longer face the threat of the chaotic demi-humans in the jungle. In the future, it is very likely that there will be battles between us and these other countries!

“Therefore, I hereby have this meeting with all of you today! In the face of the increasingly difficult situation, all of you should make a move out of the village if you feel like you do not want to risk getting into this situation. I will absolutely not stop you nor will anyone else.”

After saying that, Joshua looked at the people in front of him. Not a single one of them moved nor wavered.

After bowing to everyone, Joshua promised, “Since everyone has already chosen me, then I will do everything in my power to protect this village!”

When Joshua finished his speech, everyone stood up and bowed deeply to him.
