Uehfvjfd 34 Securing His Position

'Who is the man that was quicker than Alexis'

This Alexis person seemed to have gotten quite a reputation in the Main City, he was the strongest adventurer that kept looking for people who wanted to fight him. Despite this, he seemed to be rather well-liked by the community. He acted honorably and always stopped before doing any serious damage, even giving some pointers after beating someone.

On the other had Jay was completely unknown and n.o.body had even heard of him before. In the end, the conclusion of the adventurers was that it must be the general of a strong Lord who managed to get somewhat lucky. They didn't seem to have much of an opinion of him which he saw as a good thing.

Meanwhile, on the Lord-only part of the forum, the lords were focused on where exactly he was. After looking at the terrain they ended up nearly exactly on First City. They had looked at the general direction and then a map of the terrain someone got a hand of. The location they picked was the most ideal terrain they could find.

Some people seemed sure the light was more north but they were quickly shut down, there was no way a city in the icelands would be able to produce a Tier one soldier. The few lords that were in the icelands confirmed that stating that they had only just gotten walls up and that there were barely any beasts to gain fighting experience against here.

The fact that they landed around the area of First City was problematic. As for how they thought of him it was very divided, some people decided not to mess with him and try to ally from the get-go while others wanted to attack him with multiple closeby villages together.

In the end, they didn't really make any decisions there and it seemed to all be talk for now. Still, there were surely many other bases nearby. There were thousands of human settlements in the region and they were mostly focused on the gra.s.sy part rather than in the ice.

What Jay did know is that he couldn't allow anyone to actually confirm his location for now. So he had to go on a warpath for sure. When a human got killed at this point they would return in a month as an adventurer of level 1.

In a month he was confident he would be able to make some allies and defend his territory, but right now it was hard. Even if he probably could defend his territory from outsiders they would know his every move.

Whenever he got any kind of treasure his enemies would know, the same thing with the movement of troops. If he sent troops to Icy city, they would be more probably to attempt an attack on First City, hindering his progress.

On the other hand, if he were to attack them, they wouldn't be able to do anything for a full month. Additionally, he would take their stuff and some of their soldiers.

The decision was a rather simple one to make, but he did have a time limit. Within 2 weeks he would have to be back, by then the Iceborne would surely be able to attack again.

For the following 2 days, Jay sat with General Green deciding how to handle everything. They would be taking out any base within a 50-kilometer radius of them. After this, using the tokens he would surely get, he would make multiple fortresses in order to stop any lords further away from attacking them.

Ideally, he would need 4 silver base tokens in order to make the ideal base. The following morning, Jay woke up due to a small string of notifications.

Congratulations user for having one of your underlings reach Tier 1

Region announcement: Congratulations to Grottle 'Pangea' Green for being the third human to reach Tier 1

Reward: 100 gold, F grade cultivation technique

A golden light, rose to the skies once again, this time from the barracks on First City. It seemed that General Green had broken through in his sleep, something that was rather rare.

Jay couldn't help but smile at this situation. Since he became a Tier 1 while already possessing sword intent it shouldn't be too hard for him to learn how to use it now.

This would be the last region announcement about someone breaking through for a while. Tier 2 was still a very far way away for everyone.

At this point, Jay didn't really mind the exposure this would bring him. The rumors about him being lucky in his breakthrough would surely fade away because of this though. He wasn't too worried anymore since they had figured out the solution anyways, they would get rid of any nearby base and built some fortresses in order to defend his territory.

First City had around 130 people now, nearly all of these ready for battle. They were planning to take every warrior and mage in the city, even just the disciples. Only a very select few people would remain, this included old man Von Hauser, miss Evergreen, blacksmith Ariell, and a few others.

They would just be in charge of receiving the new citizens that would arrive in the following days. Additionally, they also had the 2 Giants and some stone golems to defend the base. The army of 120 men and women would split into 2. Half of them were to go with Jay to the south, pa.s.sed the forest while General Green would take the other half west, across the bridge.

And so 2 armies left at the same time, planning to stomp over anyone in their way.
