After establishing their camp they were quite at ease as the monster attacks became low as animals on this island slowly recognized that Blake and his men were the natural predators on this island .

They were attacked with Dragon-elephants who were quite scary but this time the ballistas and the news guns did the trick as a herd of Dragon-elephants attacked them as night approached . The Dragon-elephants escaped as soon as they saw the firepower of the ballistas .

A lot of people were quite surprised by the use of new Guns and its use .

Bran asked Ross as he saw the performance of the Guns, "These guns are quite handy with their destructive power, speed and force . I guess only tough hides can resist them or magic metal armors would be good enough . These bullets are good as well . low resources used and great results with efficiency . "

Ross had a proud smile on his face, "Of course, Lord personally handed these supplies to us as he thought about the importance of this project while there is a war looming . "

Judd meanwhile looked at the mulberry cement as all the engineers and laborers were busily building the camp, "This agent is quite good, This alone is worth quite a fortune . This agent is quite revolutionary . I guess this is one of the reasons why it is classified by Count . "

Meanwhile one of the men came from the forest as he was injured by the wild beasts,

Blake commented as he saw one of his injured men, "It looks like Count John was quite right when he said that these guns will come in handy . These guns are quite Mobile, Flexible and easy to use . I guess I will use one as well . "

Judd nodded as he saw one of the injured men, "Quite true, however, we will have big consumption on ammunition if this goes on . Is there any plan on the manufacture of the ammo?"

Ross spoke in a relaxed manner as he had made all the preparations, "Well, We have enough ammunition to last us for a month so you guys don’t need to worry for now . We will first be exploring this place for metal mines . After finding a good place we will make a factory and City near it . Meanwhile, we will be creating a dock over here as our base . I already have the blueprints about the planning of this city . You guys don’t need to worry . I will handle the planning of this city . We will experiment with the first water-based machines over here . Tornwall felt that it would be quite risky to build it at NF city so we will be handling its production over here and then see the results . "

Judd left after he heard Ross and his assurance, "Well I am going to find the 3 colored bird and exact my revenge on that bitch . That humiliation must be avenged . "

All the men got busy with making the camp as soon as they docked into Aurora Island . Ross was busy managing his men to build the Camp, Collect water and food . At the same time, he ordered some of the engineers to go with 10 guards and explore the Island for any mines which would be useful for them .

Blake nodded and spoke as he watched Ross managing the camp, "You are quite a capable man being able to handle 600 plus men at once . No wonder Count John handed you the task even though you haven’t even grown hair . Count John has quite an eye when it comes to picking talents . However, how are you able to handle the old men, because I know from experience that it is hard to manage old capable men even when you have capabilities . "

Ross furrowed his brows as he heard him, "Hmph, I am already 22 this year, Who are you saying of having no grown hair? As for handling old men? I learned it personally from my Superior Jake by observing him as he also had quite a hard time as well, I think he too was taught by Count John . Even though Lord personally vouched for him, Jake would only get face in public but you would always have to earn respect if you want face and respect in private as well . First would come strength, then the wits, I guess watching him, I learned it . Anyway, don’t disturb me, I want to finish this camp before nightfall, at least the walls . "

Ross didn’t mind Blake and roared to all the engineers and the men who were preparing the camp, "Make sure to fortify these walls with Mulberry cement and I don’t want any mistakes when it comes to making this wall as this concerns the direct safety of all the members . Are you guys clear?"

All the men roared, "Yes, sir,"

Ross once again roared and asked, "I can’t hear you, did you guys skip your breakfast?"

All the men roared in unison, "No sir . We are very much clear . "

After giving orders to his subordinate, Ross looked towards Blake and said to him, "Meanwhile, why don’t you and your men hunt those animals who are approaching our perimeters . An undisturbed wall would be very good for our initial base . You don’t have to worry about ammunition . We have enough Ammunition to last us a month . "

Blake smiled as he watched Ross’s actions for the first time, "I can see why he choose you to handle the preparations of the base and not your immediate boss, Jake for this project . As only you would be suitable for this project and not him . You are not fully cold but quite an active person but a decisive person . I guess you are a natural leader when it comes to interacting with people . Okay, we will prepare and hunt more monsters, I guess we will have a monster feast today, make sure your cooks make good food, I am quite used to the good food provided by the cooks of Count John . "

Ross reminded Blake as he was preparing to leave and hunt the nearby monsters, "By the way, make sure to make a team of 3-5 people at least if your men are wandering through these forests as this would be a more cautious way to explore this island . "

Blake smiled and said as he heard him, "You are quite a cautious and protective man . "

Ross nodded, "Well, I value my men’s lives and hence the cautiousness . I guess it comes from my boss . Value your men and they will value you . "

Blake smiled as he heard Ross, "Count John is the same . But sometimes it is quite naive to think that you can protect everyone, I like this ideal . However, I believe men should be free . "
