Suddenly Xander heard a knock on the door. He got up from his bed and went to open the door. It was Aldith, Xander told him to come in. Aldith was sweating profusely, he cleaned his forehead and spoke.
"Your highness, Are you alright? Is there any problem?"
Xander was slightly confused. He unconsciously slightly furrowed his eyebrows "What happened to me? I am alright. Why did you ask?"
Aldith hesitatingly replied, "Ah, it is like this, two maids heard you laughing alone in your room, so they were slightly worried about you and informed me."
"Ah, it's not like that I just remembered a joke, I am alright". After speaking, Xander started to think in his mind "{From now on I have to stay cautious, I can raise suspicions."
"Your highness, it's time for the meeting, both Dwarfs leader Ashbringer and Elf's leader Norran were already led to a meeting room.
"OK, let's go."
*******************************
Xander reached the meeting room. He opened the door and looked around. On one chair Dwarfs leader Ashbringer was sitting. On the other side, two elf's were sitting. One was Male and the other was female. The three of them stood from the chairs and greeted Xander. Xander also greeted them. He looked at Elf's as there were no Elves on Earth. The male Elf was Elf's leader. He was wearing Green robes which looked quite beautiful. He was wearing a silver head accessory which is a symbol of Elf's clan leader. The actor's looks on earth paled in comparison to his. Even Xander was more handsome than the actors from his precious life. He looked towards the female. She was a very beautiful second only to Elisia. She wore green tight fitted archery clothes. Her figure could easily make any man drool.
Xander went forward and sat on a chair. Aldith followed Xander and stood at the right side of Xander. The other three persons were looking at Xander.
Xander turned towards Elf leader Norran "I already met with Dwarfs leader Ashbringer. This is our first meeting. so, let me officially first introduce my self, My name is Beatric Fitzherbert Xander and I am King of Kingdom of Etherac."
Elf's Leader stood and slightly bowed "Your highness, I am Elf's clan leader Norran and this is my wife Phinala, Thank you for worrying about our clan and gave us space to live in your kingdom."
"Don't worry, It's not only my kingdom but from now on it's yours also. And my father also had a great relationship with you."
"Thank you your highness."
"So did you settle down. Is there any problem or difficulty? If there is just tell Aldith."
"Thank you, currently we are fine if we encountered any problem I will do as you said."
"Let's talk about some serious matters." Norran also became serious and started to listening intently. "Many Elf's participated to join the army, I was very happy when I heard their participation. So I am going to make a special archery division that will include both Elves and humans. And from tomorrow The training will start. Archery will be taught in the training. I heard that Elf's archery is unmatched so I want you to recommend an Archery teacher which will teach them archery. We will give him a good salary and if he wants to join the army I will allow him."
Norran slightly thought for few seconds "Your highness, My wife's Phinala's archery skill is best in the whole clan and on top of that she is great at teaching archery, I would like to recommend her for this profession. She is also good at tactics, She alone killed Rank H with her archery and battle tactics."
Xander turned towards Phinala "Good, If you want to from now on you can teach archery."
Phinala nodded "Thank you, your highness, I can teach archery and I also participated in trials of both 5000 man commander and Archery and joined the army."
Xander became stunned for few seconds He turned towards Aldith "Aldith, Call Dye quick"
After a few minutes Dye came into the meeting room, he greeted everyone present and went to Xander's left side. Xander and Dye whispered for some time before turning towards Phinala.
"Phinala would you spar with me"
Phinala slightly became nervous. She looked towards his husband. He nodded her to spar.
Xander was watching them "ah, no need to be nervous, we want to just see your skills."
Phinala nodded. Afterwards everyone stood up and went to a training field where Xander trains daily.
Phinala asked upon reaching the training field "Your highness what should I use Sword or Bow?"
"One in which you are confident."
Xander went to one side to pick up the sword. Phinala went to his husband to pick bow. When Phinala reached near Norran, he gave her bow and whispered as dye was standing near "Slightly hold back, don't injure the king otherwise we may be in trouble." Phinala nodded.
Even after whispering Dye still heard, He turned his head towards Phinala "What is your level?"
Phinala was stunned after hearing Dye as he heard their conservation. She nervously replied "I lift 190 kg around Level 9"
Dye again spoke while gesturing towards Xander "And you want to hold back against him."
Norran curiously asked "What do you mean? Is he that powerful?"
Dye replied their question with their question "Do you know the strongest man of the Kingdom of Etherac"
Norran nodded "I heard that he is around Level 14, His name is Reignald. what about him?"
"Yes you are correct, He recently leveled up to level 14. Xander went toe to toe with him yesterday in the morning"
Both were stunned for a few seconds before they came out of their daze. In the past week, Everyone leveled up during training with Xander. Xander also leveled up to Level 14.
Phinala went to the center of the training field. She was serious after listening to Dye. She placed an arrow in his bow and pulled the string to its limit and was ready to release the arrow at any time.
Dye went towards the center shouted to begin the spar "Are you ready?" both nodded "Start".
Phinala released the arrow. Bow made a very loud sound of Thwack. The speed of arrow was travelling at very high speed, it was howling while cutting the air aside. Xander predicted the direction and position of the arrow and swung his wooden sword at the center of the arrow and broke it in two pieces.
Xander commented during battle "The power behind the arrow was a force to reckoned with. Good, but not enough to defeat me."
He leaped forward, Phinala quickly released another arrow towards Xander's legs to slow him. But Xander easily dodged and swung his sword at Phinala. Phinala used her bow to deflect the sword, but the difference between their levels was too much, the power behind the sword pushed Phinala a few meters back. The clash made Phinala's hand numb. But she didn't give up easily, She quickly placed another arrow and pulled the string of the bow and released the arrow. Xander quickly deflected the arrow and put his sword in front of the neck of Phinala.
"You are good, your fighting sense and archery skills are good."
"Thank you for praise, your highness but I am no way even near you."
"Thanks, let's return to the room and I have to discuss with you some few things."
All of them returned to the Meeting room.
Xander sat on his chair and turned towards Phinala "First of all Phinala, Your fighting skills are superb, I talked to Dye, We want you to become one of the four generals and command 25000 soldiers. If it's alright with you."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing Xander. Phinala suddenly spoke "Your highness, can I really become General. Won't others will object If I became General?"
"You mean other humans will object against you because you are Elf."
Phinala slightly lowered her head and nodded in confirmation.
Xander laughed "There is no racial discrimination in my kingdom and especially Army. Only talent and strength matters in battle not Racial discrimination." Xander slightly smiled it was a sinister smile, he looked like he was demon came directly from hell "And I want to know who will object against you."
All of them slightly shivered upon watching that sinister smile.
Dye quickly said "Don't even smile like that dude, Look your smile made goosebumps rise on my arms."
Everyone nodded and showed their arms.
"OK, I will not smile like that. so Phinala will you become general."
"It will be my honor to serve under you and protect my family."
"Good good, We need to find only two more positions." Then he turned towards Norran "I heard that Elf's are great doctors. Is that true?"
"Yes, your highness We are slightly connected to nature and we love to save lives. So we practice medicine very seriously."
"OK, I have a proposal!" Norran was listening intently. "I plan to open a hospital. And I want a few good doctors to work in that hospital. If you want, your few people can work there."
Norran didn't even think about and replied on the spot "OK, your highness, it will our pleasure to help you in saving lives."
"How many people are literate?"
"Hmm, only in hundreds."
"OK, I opened a school to send all people who are illiterate."
Norran was happy to think that Xander thinks so much about his people "Yes your highness"
"Also send all the children to primary school, After school, they can join colleges to study the profession they want to. There are many professional streams that one can join and there is a medical stream. So I want you to recommend a knowledgeable and one who has a lot of field experience in medicine to become a teacher."
"OK, your highness I will find a person as per your requirement."
"Good, send all people to school. If someone wants to join the military they can military school too. Well, that's all I want to discuss with you. If you require anything or someone bullying you or your clansmen, just inform either Aldith or police. We will quickly take the required step to resolve the matter."
"Yes your highness, thank you for your kind words and consideration."
After that both Elf's stood up and went outside after bowing to Xander.
Xander turned towards Ashbringer "We have some important matters to discuss."
Xander turned towards Ashbringer "So, How many Dwarfs can make weapons and build Buildings."
Ashbringer slightly calculated in his mind and made a rough guess "Your highness around 1500 Dwarfs are blacksmiths from which around 700 are low-level blacksmith, 500 are intermediate level blacksmith, around 295 are a master level blacksmith and 5 Grandmaster level blacksmith Including me. As for Construction, around 1000 dwarfs are skilled in the building."
Xander thought for some time in his mind "Hmm, so there are levels of blacksmith too." He spoke to Ashbringer "That's good, Let's first talk about construction. I have a few projects to build in the capital."
Ashbringer started to listen intently after hearing the construction of few projects.
"I want to build a few Public bathrooms and toilets in the capital city so that people can maintain hygiene. "
"Hmm, that will not take a lot of time, it will be built in at most one or two weeks."
Xander thought of a suggestion "Why not we do this, Split the workforce between two."
Ashbringer was slightly confused "Your highness why do you want to split the workforce. It will increase the time to construct the projects?"
"Wait, I will explain the whole matter, The main thing I want to build is Wall around the whole kingdom."
"This will likely take a lot of time, but with the materials, you told, it will still take around 10 months. On top of that if we split the workforce It will add another two to three months."
"What if we add a lot of workers to build walls then?"
"Hmm, if we double the working force, It will still take around 6 months. If we don't want to lower the quality."
"Hmm, well 6 months is not too long. OK, so I want to split the workforce because one team will construct the wall another will complete projects within the kingdom."
"Your highness, It will not take a long time to build bathrooms and toilets."
"No no, I want to build another 3 to 4 buildings. I want to construct Two school buildings and one college. One School building will be primary school and the Second will be for only Military and College will be for further studies after school. The buildings should be large enough so that around a few dozens of thousands can study together. After the construction of these buildings, this construction team will join others."
Ashbringer nodded at Xander's plans.
"Well let's plan the construction of the wall."
Aldith went forward and opened the map on the table.
Xander marked the map around the border between the Kingdom of Yabrella and the kingdom of Ehterac. "First I want you to build the wall this portion. In the western direction, our kingdom only shares a border with the Kingdom of Ocawyth and Yabrella. We have a great relationship with Ocawyth and the rest region in western direction is surrounded by large and tall mountains which can only be climbed from our kingdom. So we have to be careful from the Kingdom of Ocawyth."
Everyone agreed with Xander's plan. Aldith commented in agreement with Xander "Yes your highness It is indeed the case. We are more prone to danger from the kingdom of Yabrella than Demons. I heard that the king of Yabrella is cruel, he will do anything for his profit and desire"
Xander continued "Then after building a wall between our kingdom and Kingdom of Yabrella. We will build a wall on our north and western region which is connected to the demonic beast's domain."
Xander paused and looked around to watch their expressions. Everyone was nodding slightly unconsciously. Xander was satisfied after seeing this, then he continued "Of course, during this time Our army will protect the workers and construction site. And Soldiers can also assist in construction."
Ashbringer was listening very carefully and also imagining the wall as Xander was telling him.
Xander stood slightly and placed his left palm on the table and started to mark the area of forest between the Kingdom of Etherac and the kingdom of Ocawyth which was called Dark forest, with his right hand. "I plan to lock down this whole region of the forest with the walls from the three sides as one side will be automatically enclosed with the mountain."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing Xander's plan to enclose Dark forest. Aldith slightly flustered and spoke "Your highness, If we want to build a wall on our side, it will be okay but why do you want to build the wall in the demonic domain, on top of that a wall on the border of Kingdom of Ocawyth."
Xander calmly replied "I already suggested King Ebrardus build a wall around his kingdom too and he agreed. I also plan to sell the building materials when the production will start at full force." He slightly paused and picked a glass of water and drank a sip of water to wet his throat " The main reason I want to build the wall in the demon domain and enclose the area between Kingdom of Etherac and Kingdom of Ocawyth. After enclosing our both kingdoms can use it as training for army or military school students. I will talk about this King Ebrardus when I meet him."
Ashbringer nodded "I understand overall plan, your highness. I will explain the whole plan to Dwarfs and to start the construction from tomorrow. By the way, Your highness, what about the materials."
"Ah, the materials are ready, after meeting I will bring you to explain the working process and uses."
"OK, I understand your highness."
"Now about weapons, I heard that you already started the production."
"Yes, we are making swords that can be used by soldiers."
"Good, I want you to make other things."
"Tell me, your highness, I am responsible for all the production of weapons and armours."
"OK, I want you to make basic armours at first. Mass produce of good quality of bows, spears, shields and swords. "
Ashbringer was nodding while writing all the details in the book provided by Xander. "OK your highness, this is easy, it can be easily done, it won't take much time around a month."
"Hmm, These all will be used by soldiers. And please make the shields at least 4 ft. Can you make a few special weapons and armours."
Ashbringer nodded "Just order your highness, we can make any type of weapons and armours. We dwarf are very confident and proud of our forging skills."
Xander smiled and nodded "I want you to make some order made weapons for high-rank officers above 1000 man commander."
Ashbringer nodded and wrote it on the book.
"And I also like to make you a few special weapons and armours for me. Can you do it."
Ashbringer quickly replied, "I will let only Grandmasters make your weapons carefully according to your requirements. just tell me your requirements, your highness?"
"OK, how heavy can you make a sword?"
Ashbringer was slightly taken aback at first, but he regained his composure quickly and replied "Hmm, around 150 kg with iron."
"Can you make it heavier?"
"Then to make a sword heavier than 150 kg Iron is not sufficient. We need other materials."
"Just tell me I will try to get all the materials required."
"Rank H beasts bones are sufficient they can not only make it heavier but also toughen the sword and makes it more durable. We can make it as heavy as 250 kg."
"OK, I will go myself and kill some beasts. And also I want you to make some heavy spears around 70 kg per spear."
"OK, that will be easily done with only iron. Anything else?"
"Yes, I want you to make a bow and make it so that the power and range of arrow will be terrifying. Don't mind the weight or strength required to pull string."
"Hmm, it bow can be easily made but for the string, we need beast tendons. Other materials are not that strong and easily breaks."
"OK, which beast's tendons are enough?"
"At least Rank G."
"Hmm, OK I will get you all these materials. Start the production of weapons and armours."
Ashbringer nodded "I will do so, I will gather all the blacksmiths and explain all the details. We will begin to Mass produce as soon as possible."
"And yes, I want to ask you to send two teachers who are knowledgeable and are great at teaching forgery. One teacher to teach only basics at primary school and another to teach at college to teach in detail. After college, I will also make them research weapons and other production items. Also, send two to teach construction. And also send the children and people who don't know to write and read to school."
Ashbringer stood and slightly bowed to Xander "Thank you, your highness. I will send them to school. Then with your permission, I will leave?"
"OK" Xander replied to Ashbringer. Ashbringer went out of the room. Xander also stood from his chair and went towards the training field to train.
