It had been over two hours since the builders had completed the construction of the Town Hall, as well as the army barracks and camps.
Jax, who was still in his sleepy state, remained in their new home, allowing his wife to explore and familiarize herself with their Newly renovated House/Palace space.
Jax respected her role as the lady of the house and didn't want to disturb her.
However, his state of relaxation was interrupted when he received a notification informing him that both the Army camp and Barracks were now complete.
A smug smile spread across his face as he couldn't contain the sheer joy he felt.
Excitedly, he made his way to the designated location, only to find that it exceeded his expectations.
The size of the structures far surpassed what had been described in the game guide that he read and What He Had In mind.
It was evident that no magical instruments were used in their construction, as they were crafted with real wood from the surrounding forest and other Refined materials.
The realistic quality made it truly impressive.
The appearance of the buildings was not much different from that of normal houses, just a little better than the houses in the village, and this allowed Jax's mind to calm down a little.
After all, having three Newly attractively designed buildings in his Village might attract unwanted attention.
No longer concerned with the specific details, he quickly opened his status tab to assess how much more he had to spend.
[Status Tab]
Name: Jax Freeman
King Level: Tier 1 King
Land Level: Village
Coins: 3000
Spirit Coins: 7000
For completing both the Army Barracks and the Army Camp, he received a reward of 500 spirit coins each.
In addition, he had previously been awarded 1000 spirit coins upon completing the construction of the Town Hall.
Altogether, he now had a total of 7000 spirit coins.
Seeing this amount, made Jax excited that he couldn't help but rub his hands together in Glee.
He could already imagine the number of skilled warriors he would be able to recruit with this impressive sum.
"Finally, I have enough to spawn Warriors and still protect the town from any potential attacks, at least for now."
" If a war were to break out or a beast wave were to come, we would be well-prepared to face it," Jax muttered to himself, feeling a sense of relief and confidence.
He entered the Army Barracks first, knowing that it was where he could Hire Warriors, he was really eager to see what they looked like in Reality and not just the impression he had of them when he read the Guidelines.
As he stepped inside, he noticed a lady seated there who warmly welcomed him.
"My King," she greeted, her voice having a slight baritone tone, as She bowed her head respectfully.
Jax simply nodded in acknowledgement and replied,
"Please continue with your work, I'm just here to have a look around."
He moved towards the screen listing the available soldiers, but most of them were still blank, likely due to his low tier.
It meant that he wouldn't be able to hire any of them anytime soon, except for the first one that was still visible - the only recruit available.
Next to the listing, there was a picture of the new warrior he could potentially hire.
Jax lightly tapped on it, opening the icon for the soldier and revealing their stats.
[Soldier]
Stars: 1 Star (Can be evolved)
Key Points:
- Very strong.
- The more they are in numbers, the stronger the damage they can inflict.
- They possess a rage skill that, when activated, doubles their power for a short period of time.
[Special Stats]
> Herculean Strength (Level 1)
> Hiring cost: 20 spirit coins per soldier.
After checking out the soldier's impressive stats, Jax's eyes widened with admiration.
Upon entering the soldier option, a full image of the warrior was revealed, showcasing their glorious presence.
The soldier possessed a muscular body, with two pairs of club-shaped weapons resembling baseball bats, giving the impression of deadly force.
Jax could only recruit approximately 100 soldiers, which cost him 2,000 spirit coins, bringing his spirit coin balance down to 5,000.
"If only I had more space, I wouldn't hesitate to recruit more soldiers," Jax lamented.
Unfortunately For him , the army camp he had the builders construct had a limit of 100 soldiers, and exceeding that number would mean he couldn't provide them with a proper home, forcing his exceptional troops to leave, so he was restricted by the system to be only allowed
To Spawned just the right amount of soldiers he needed.
Determined in his resolution, Jax made a promise to himself to find the builders once he was finished and have them construct another camp.
This way, he could house the maximum number of soldiers he desired.
As he pondered the idea in his mind, he began fantasizing about having an additional camp, which would allow him to recruit yet another hundred soldiers.
And with that, he felt he would become a Respected Tier 1 King, commanding a formidable army of 200 strong soldiers.
He turned to exit the barracks,as he called some of the newly soldiers, and he was accompanied by the five of them that was just spawned by the barracks machine.
However, his attention was quickly captured by the sight of a girl sitting at the counter, wearing a welcoming smile on her face.
The girl addressed him as "My King," catching his curiosity.
"You seem to have forgotten something important," she began.
Jax inquired, eager to know what it was.
"One crucial matter is that I am here to assist you," she explained.
"You can leave your spirit coins with me, and I will recruit the warriors you desire. Additionally, for every major level you reach, you can recruit one Hero level warrior."
The girl continued, informing him that he had been entitled to receive one such hero since he constructed his Town Hall.
Intrigued, Jax asked about the hero he could recruit at present.
"Conan the Barbarian Lord," she replied.
"He is the only hero warrior you are currently eligible for."
"Summon him for me," Jax requested without hesitation.
At that very moment, a brilliant flash of light enveloped the room.
When the light subsided, standing before Jax was a man of approximately four feet in height.
This summoned man, clad in animal skin garments, gave off a distinct medieval aura.
And He Also carried a large sword strapped to his back and a small axe fastened to his waist.
His upper body was exposed, proudly displaying his bulging muscles.
Around his head, he wore an airband, while his hair was neatly tied back in a fancy ponytail.
"At your service, my King," Conan the Barbarian Lord spoke, his voice filled with loyalty, as he knelt on one knee.
"Rise, my faithful servant," Jax responded with a smile.
The presence of this new hero instilled in Jax a sense of reassurance, knowing that they were now better equipped to protect the Village.
He eagerly opened the hero's stats, curious to see the extent of their abilities compared to a regular soldier.
[HERO]
Name: Conan the Barbarian Lord
Stars: 1 Star
Key points:
- Commander of all soldier under the King
- Extraordinary strength
- Power increased threefold when rage skill is activated
- Allies under his command receive a power boost when rage skill is activated

As soon as Jax laid eyes on Conan the Barbarian Lord's stats, he was taken aback, his mouth agape in astonishment.
Though he had anticipated him to be way stronger than the average Soldier , but the extent of the Barbarian Lord's strength and the fact that he commanded all His soldiers unit left Jax truly surprised.
That made him feel like the protagonist of a novel,
even though the one with stats of an actual protagonist was his own soldier, which added a sweet touch to the situation.
After bidding farewell to the girl who was now seated on the counter, he set off with a group of ten soldiers spawned by the Barrack system, instead of five.
Following his lead, was Conan and the other soldiers trailing behind as his guards.
Before leaving, he issued orders to the girl on how the remaining soldiers were to stand guard around the village walls, and ensuring their protection.
Taking ten soldiers with him was a precautionary measure; he wanted guards stationed near the Town Hall, as even kings needed protection against potential assassinations.
Although he didn't believe he was a target worthy of such danger, but he always felt prevention was better than cure.
Returning to his Town Hall, now his new home, the ten soldiers stood outside with their clubs, wearing stern and imposing expressions that intimidated anyone who dared to look their way.
Once again, the Village people were taken aback by the sight of a new set of individuals in the town.
The conspicuous factor was the tall man carrying a sword on his back, walking beside their King, was the one giving orders to the new soldiers.
This sight brought a sense of security and relief to the townspeople, knowing that they now had proper protection.
