Chapter 129
Ibro took out one coin and gave it to him. Once he saw it his eyes turned wide in astonishment and then he asked with curiosity:
"How many coins did you manage to get my lord?"
"I have got a lot. I believe their number exceeds 1 million coins. Do you know what they are used for?"
"Sure I know. They are very important in casting our coins in the future."
"That's the issue that I didn't understand. Why should I cast a coin while I can use the gold coins instead?"
"That's very important my lord. Imagine you establish a huge kingdom with billions of people in it. Can you have enough gold coins for all of them?
You won't be able to supply enough gold coins for them. The other feasible option here is for you to cast your own currency. This coin is the pillar of that currency.
Each pure coin can act as a model to cast one currency. The more we get the stronger our currency will be."
Ibro felt confused so he asked trying to understand more:
"If I'm going to cast my currency, why would I need many of them? One currency would be enough, right?"
"You got it wrong. The more of these pure coins we got the better. That's because our currency power is determined by our stock from these currencies.
They act as a reserve to our casting coins. Each pure coin can cast 1000 currencies. So if we have 1 million pure coins now that means we can cast 1 billion of our own coins.
If we wanted to raise the power of our currency then we could decrease the number of our casted currency from each pure coin. The lower the number we cast the stronger our own currency will get.
The most powerful currency I have ever heard before had this ratio is 1 to 10. That means 1 pure coin casts 10 normal currencies."
Ibro finally understood his meaning. He wasn't strong in the economy but this simple rule was easy to understand. He looked in his Inventory. These weird coins turned to be like a very rare treasure.
He needed to amass the highest amount of them. He needed to conquer the most strongholds out there. This wasn't the time for this, unfortunately.
"After this war, we need to form a separate army dedicated to conquering all the monsters' strongholds out there. We need to gain the most pure coins we can get from these strongholds."
"That's a good plan, my lord. Also after you conquer 99 areas down there at the underground world, the treasure chest level should be raised by one grade at the least. If so, we can have more pure coins from there too."
"That would be nice. We mustn't leave any channel to obtain these pure currencies from without trying. These coins are very important to our future."
"Indeed my lord. I will make sure we can have as many pure coins as we can."
"Good. Mony, take these war buildings and try to use them wisely.
Half of them are ballista towers that are responsible for securing our skies. Focus on using them as I fear our enemy may use airborne forces to hit us."
"I will consult Mr. Hoden before using these."
She then moved outside for a while before returning again with many workers behind her.
Although these buildings were small in size, their number was really great. There were 2000 defensive buildings here. She ordered the men to carry these towers towards one of the warehouses.
"I ordered the cooks to prepare a meal for you, my lord. You will find the meal in your room now."
"Thanks, Mony."
Ibro moved towards the room. When he entered it, he found a very large table that was filled with dishes. He smiled widely. This time there was a huge variety of monsters with higher levels than before.
Although they didn't bring any surface monster body with them because of the last ambush, they had hundreds of millions of monsters' bodies with them.
He sat down and then started eating his meal. Each dish had filled his body with strange strength that he liked a lot. He didn't know why but his body was eager for eating such meats and drank these bone soup.
After this heavy meal filled with energy, he started manufacturing Even and Odd runes for over 12 hours. After that, he was very tired. He went to bed and fell into a deep sleep. Ibro's sleep was well deserved after this long tiring period full of stress and wars.
Ibro took nearly 19 hours in deep sleep. During his absence, the village was moving step by step steadily towards the coming war. Many defensive buildings were established in the village.
The outer segment of the village turned into a war zone. Many normal civilian buildings were demolished and more defensive towers appeared instead.
The inner segment of the village became full to the prim with normal villagers. Many young villagers wanted to join the army to defend their village.
As the total number of the village army was huge, Hoden and Mamor didn't agree to such requests. They understood some of Ibro's personality. He wouldn't be happy to see his villagers being killed; especially their level would be so low for such a war.
The total number of the army was over 50 million soldiers, so the current village area couldn't hold them. That made the war council lead by Hoden and Mamor to change the original plan.
They started to organize the defense based on the whole island they are in. although its space was over 10 times at least the size of the current village, they didn't hesitate to do so.
Crowding the defensive army in a small area was never a wise choice. They needed enough space to defend and avoid long-range attacks. They needed space for flexible maneuvers.
They needed space to kite down their enemy forces till they reached the final frontier at the village. even inside the village they fortified the inner wooden wall with so many stones and ores and tried to strengthen it in the most efficient way.
They had no enough time to demolish and then rebuild it. Although they couldn't build the higher versions of the wall, they could build it with higher grades of stones and ores.
That could raise the defensive capabilities of the wall. The 2000 defensive towers that Ibro gave them were completely used to fortify the whole island. They called this island: The last stand island.
Ibro woke up after his long sleep. Sleeping like this comfortably after this delicious meal had made his body more vibrant and his mind became more clear.
He was full of energy and was ready for this historical day. He exited his room to smell the sense of war in every corner of this manor. There were two huge building generals waiting for him.
Once he appeared in front of them, they knelt down in respect to him and then said:
"I'm Torson under your service my lord."
"I'm loran under your service my lord."
Ibro smiled and said:
"Stand up Torson and Loran. We will work together for a very long time, so you need to know my personality well."
Ibro then walked passed the two while saying:
"I don't like to be hindered by anyone. If you will be my personal guard then you will be like an arm to me.
If I ordered you to do something you will do it. I'm not a coward. In this war, I will lead the troops and hit the enemy at the frontlines. I will do this in this war and the next wars as well.
If you can't follow this personality of mine then you can be relieved from your guard duty. This is your chance to withdraw."
