Lide nodded slightly at Grott, whom he had just summoned through the Space Gate.

This Child of the North had once been Lide’s trump card. Although many in Dawn City now surpassed Grott in combat strength, Lide greatly admired his fearlessness and boldness to charge at a giant dragon head-on.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Dark Contract constantly required a formidable fighting force to preside over it, Lide would have called Grott back to lead the army sooner.

“Emi, I am going to attempt to devour the divinity within the head of a divine being to break through to Transcendence.

It may take several months.

Therefore, for the next period, the Land of Bone-Burying must maintain the highest level of vigilance.

Do not think that being able to fend off fierce Half- Ratmen now means we can relax; we must quickly establish a second Defense Ring.

Also, have the Think Tank at City Hall and the Command Center come up with no less than 10 contingency plans immediately.

The Land of Bone-Burying cannot afford any losses!”

Lide’s gaze was as cold as frost.

While the Plague God might see him as doomed prey, he equally saw these fierce Half-Ratmen as pigs being fattened.

Each side regarded the other as the hunter.

Yet, whose hands the final prize would fall into remained undecided.

“Plague God…”

Lide murmured softly, his expression turning playful.

The moves of the Plague God might have seemed certain, but did he have any reason to cower? The Space Gate was a double-edged sword; the enemy could find him through it.

And he could do the same to locate the Plague God.

Right now, he was the Plague God’s prey, but once he grew stronger, it would be unclear who the real prey was.

“I need power!! More formidable power!!”

The sudden appearance of the Plague God drastically shifted Lide’s previously low-key, gradual development plans.

The unknown time of Ancient Arrival loomed over him like the Sword of Damocles.

Ready to strike at any moment.

The Plague God would attack him recklessly and at all costs when the Ancient Arrival came.

Crisis loomed before him.

Although continuing to develop steadily like before was an option, the current circumstances clearly couldn’t cope with the impending disaster.

He needed to enhance his strength quicker, preferably reaching Transcendent, or even higher levels—Legendary—before the Ancient Arrival.

With a growing sense of urgency, Lide delayed no longer.

He turned his head and looked at Harrison.

“Emi and Grott will handle the matters of war for now, and Kapp will also arrive soon.

Harrison, while we engage in ongoing warfare, civil affairs cannot be neglected.

Starting now, restart the external trade; I need to refill our stockpiles at the fastest speed possible with steel, food, cotton, ores, Magic Materials, and more.

With great chaos approaching, we must ramp up development.”

Harrison nodded solemnly.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I will have Frey take charge of restarting the Free Market in the barren desert and also restore trade with the Fishman Tribe.”

“Also, hasn’t the Fishman Tribe been craving powerful Alchemy Bombs?

This time, we can sell them Second Circle Alchemy Bombs; I need large quantities of Magic Materials to replenish our stockpile,

and the pricing for the Second Circle Alchemy Bombs will be tentatively set at five times the manufacturing cost.”

Alchemy Bombs, as a signature product of Dawn City, were not something Lide would sell lightly.

However, after the First Circle Alchemy Bombs were phased out and sold to the Fishman Tribe, garnering crazy praise and continuous purchase requests from them, he was moved to sell.

Although the bomb casings performed averagely in the sea, the shockwaves following the massive explosions were stronger underwater than on land, making the overall damage effect very substantial.

Thus, the Fishman Tribe had a strong desire for Alchemy Bombs and even offered high prices to purchase them.

Lide hadn’t planned to sell the Second Circle Alchemy Bombs, but he couldn’t concern himself with that now, as the Third Circle had already been successfully researched, and selling the second would not affect Dawn City.

“Additionally, there’s the issue of civil welfare…”

This retreat, aimed at breaking through to transcendence, could consume an indeterminate amount of time.

Even though the Think Tank at City Hall was highly competent, as natives, their developmental experiences limited the vision they could achieve. Therefore, he alone had to take the helm and clarify the direction for Dawn City’s development.

“With the massive increase in population, especially now that we aim to breed a large number of Double-headed Ogres, the land at Moonlight Plain is no longer sufficient.

We can now develop new farmland on Dawn Plain.

However, this development differs from previous ones; we can establish agricultural towns on Dawn Plain that specialize in crop cultivation, overseen by the Agriculture Department and Logistics Department.

Additionally, after establishing agricultural towns, we must inform the Magic Industry Research Institute to develop the Alchemy product I spoke to them about last time—the Fully Automated Harvester.”

Lide paused, allowing Harrison time to record.

“As the agricultural towns are established, research on Dawn City’s railcars must also commence.

The railcars will not only make it much easier and time-efficient for residents to travel but will also significantly reduce the cost of transporting goods.

This is very necessary.”

“The last point is that the plan for a citywide lighting system needs to be initiated immediately.

Lighting is a fundamental infrastructure as important as water supply; previously we didn’t have the resources, but now with the Magic Crystal Veins, we can fully proceed with development.”

“Within the next six months, these significant projects will serve as the core of Dawn City’s next phase of construction.

Agriculture and people’s livelihood are the foundation of a city, while the military serves as both spear and shield, indispensable.

In addition, we cannot neglect the strong bow developed jointly by the Magic Industry Research Institute and the Half-Elves, nor the weapons factory, Alchemy Bombs…”

People’s livelihood and military, these two areas have always been the focus of Dawn City’s development.

Patiently, Lide issued the development priorities for Dawn City in the form of commands, which would be enough if accomplished within the next six months; his breakthrough shouldn’t need that long, should it?

Moreover, this time was different from before, with great changes imminent; if sufficient preparations were not made, any sudden calamity would be too late to address.

“The old days are approaching, what will happen in the future, no one can know.

Therefore, everyone should stick to their posts.

After I finish my seclusion, Dawn City will ascend another step!”

Lide’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, piercing to behold.

This is a world where high-end combat power rules, a Transcendent can replace tens of thousands of troops… A Level 30 Divine can destroy a country.

For Dawn City to survive in the upcoming drastic changes, it must become very strong, extremely strong.

Shh~

Whether it was Emi or Harrison or the other Bloodline members, upon hearing these words, all knelt down simultaneously.

“Your will is our direction!”

“For Dawn!”
