Raising a Giant Dragon in a Small Remote City! - Chapter 16

After the dark elves joined, the construction of the village became smoother and smoother.

Because there were many skilled craftsmen among the dark elves and there were more than 30 of them, the construction speed of the Southern village was directly increased by 50%.

In addition, the dark elves had a certain cultural foundation, so they quickly got used to life in the village.

The food and clothes were all bought with money they earned from the construction site.

Seeing Mortimer’s evaluation of the dark elves, Joshua was very satisfied.

At noon, Joshua had finished all the arrangements and was ready to take a nap.

During this time, Georgi knocked on the door. “Village chief! I’ve got urgent news!”

Joshua, who had just laid down on the bed, immediately sat up and opened the door.

“Sir, the development of farmland in the Northern part of the village has been hindered!”

“What’s going on?”

“The farmland in the development has been destroyed by the unknown demi-human forces. They don’t choose their targets and just rob everything they see. They even have weapons. Many people in the patrol team have been injured because of this!”

“Who dares to come to our place and act atrociously! First, gather the dark elves and stop village construction after explaining the situation to them!

“Let them temporarily join the guardians’ ranks. After all, the breeding grounds and farmlands are our most important foundation!”

“I’ll get them done right away!”

After Georgi left, Joshua immediately went to the old village chief’s room.

The village chief was in a good condition today. He was basking under the sun at the door of the small wooden house.

Although he could no longer support himself, he still maintained his sitting posture. He was sitting on the same chair that he had been sitting on for God knows how many years.

Joshua walked to his side and spoke in a low voice. He was afraid that his movements would scare him and cause an accident to happen.

The two elven attendants at the side quietly moved aside when they saw Joshua.

“Old Village Chief Carl, the newly built farmland in the North has been attacked by unknown demi-humans! Because this is an important facility in our village’s foundation, I’ve decided to subdue them with force. As such, I’ve come to ask for your opinion regarding this matter.”

Old Village Chief Carl closed his eyes when he heard Carl’s words. He seemed to be a little sleepy.

However, he still gently nodded his head and agreed with Joshua’s action.

“Although I’ve been getting worse and worse day by day, since the construction of our future village, I have felt the endless hope for our quaint little village in the future! I will leave the rest to you. I don’t have much time left. I can’t help you with anything anymore!”

“However, there’s one thing you must remember. You must leave a last glimmer of hope for everything in your life! Don’t kill them all. All the creatures in Puba are unique. Once they disappear, they will disappear forever!”

This was probably the day that old Village Chief Carl spoke the most. After saying these words, Village Chief Carl fell into a deep sleep.

Joshua waved to the two elves on the side, asking them to hurry over and bring old Village Chief Carl back to his room to rest.

After hearing the old village chief’s words, Joshua already knew what he should do now, leaving to head toward the public office.

After entering the public office, Mortimer immediately stood up and greeted Joshua, “Young Master! Do you know about the matter?”

Joshua nodded and said, “I have a rough idea of what happened. I’ve already arranged for Georgi to ask the dark elves to come over and help! Also, send some of the more skilled demi-humans to investigate what happened to the surrounding demi-humans in the area. I will wait for your news at home. If there is anything else, please inform me immediately!”

After receiving Joshua’s order, Mortimer immediately took action.

Not long ago, Joshua had become an excellent leader. Mortimer could not help but think so.

It seemed that it would not take long for a magnificent town to appear in front of him. Maybe even before the five years had passed.

After finishing these things, Joshua walked around the village a little and found that the villagers did not seem to be perturbed by what had happened.

So, he returned to his residence with peace of mind.

As soon as he returned home, he saw Lucy watering the flowers in the yard.

Suddenly, Lucy’s figure reminded Joshua of an important matter!

Smacking his thigh, Joshua said to her, “Lucy! Do you have time now?”

Lucy immediately turned around and replied, “I don’t have anything to do now. Do you need me to get something done for you?”

“It’s like this…” Joshua immediately told Lucy about the incident of the farmland that had been invaded in the North.

“I see. I’ll go and make some preparations. After that, I’ll set off immediately.”

Lucy naturally couldn’t ignore the commotion in the Northern village.

Now that Puba Village was already her home, how could she allow such a thing to happen!

After Lucy left, Joshua went straight to Alger’s workshop.

After not coming for a long time, Alger’s workshop had undergone a huge change.

After walking over, he found that there were more than ten dark elves in the workshop.

Sensing the movement, Alger, who was working, turned around and looked at the door.

“Ah! It’s Village Chief Joshua. What brings you here on this busy day?”

Joshua immediately took out his basic weapon and equipment creation encyclopedia and handed it to him.

“Please pause all other work for the time being. First, help the guards in the village train the patrol team to create weapons and equipment! It may not be long before our village will be ushering in its first war.”

Hearing this, Alger did not ask for the reason. He simply took the weapon and equipment forging encyclopedia from Joshua and looked at it carefully.

“No problem! There are about 200 guards and patrol personnel in the village now. I’ll bring people to tailor-make equipment for them now!”

Before leaving, Joshua patted Alger’s shoulder and said, “I’m really sorry. I’ll have to trouble you for some time again!”

Alger just nodded at him. “All of this is for the future of the village! It’s because of this village that I have such a large workshop! Even if it’s not for the village, I’ll work hard for my own workshop!”
