“For precautionary reasons, you will not be able to see the exact design of this blueprint but a prototype will be made for demonstration for everyone in this room and see for yourself later.”
“From all the suggestions, we will implement Jay's plan and buy more slaves whether it is for labor or to form an army. “Many here are unfamiliar with the term army.
John smiled slightly and said to Tornwall, “Tornwall. What do you think of the Blueprint? Can it be made with the latest available ingredients?”
Tornwall was so astonished after watching the Blueprints of the Crossbow Ballista and Catapult, he never thought that the lever could be used so uniquely in the form of a catapult. He was even more surprised by the ballista yet he had no time to be surprised and after checking for a while he gave his honest opinion.
“I think this war machine can be made from the workshop provided by you and I am pretty sure that this weapon will change the landscape on how future wars will be arranged, he said,” Tornwall emphasized on these heavy words and said in a very serious tone.
Everyone in the room was shocked by the use of Tornwall's heavy words and his reaction.
However, from his reaction, they also understood the importance of this weapon and the importance of this matter. It also reaffirmed their thinking that these weapons would be very useful in the future whether it was against magical beasts or against other nobles.
Vlad was very surprised after hearing these words about the new weapon from Tornwall and he had a very different reaction compared to the others, he was very serious when he heard it. He already knew about Tornwall's past but Tornwall's past was like a beehive and that's why he never revealed it to anyone and stabbed it unless asked.
‘As expected, he has a plan regarding the invasion of beasts, so it doesn't seem like he's as naive as I thought but he should have kept this weapon a secret or maybe he was luring others in this room’ Vlad smiled and made some conclusions
‘By the way, if he's sneaky then he's worthy enough to be my disciple. ‘Vlad smiled happily and made some notes and thoughts about John at this meeting.
From this meeting, everyone in this room also understood that Tornwall would be one of John's main men and the leading chief engineer of the northern border town.
Tornwall also understands that John trusted him enough after their previous meeting on his loyalty and it seems John was touched enough to believe him after observing his determination.
This is a very modern arrow made by combining knowledge of the earth world and Sarah's world. Meanwhile, Catapult can already be started for production but it will not be accurate but will still be very effective.
“OK, so it was decided that Tornwall will be in charge of the city's industrial base, you will report directly to me. Every day the soldiers would be trained by Jay in archery. While Josephine and Alan of the Marquis Ray knights would be responsible for training them in close combat. I've prepared the training techniques and potions needed for the men. You only need to train them in battle and it would be best if you could also master the training techniques. We will end this meeting for now and plan for other things starting tomorrow. ”
Everyone then left and began to prepare for the future events of the city.
Later, Taylor was given the position of Chief Servant of the mansion while Martha was the head Chef of the House. They and all the slaves were allowed to keep their children near them from now on.
The next day,
“John, let me introduce you to one of my past colleagues, you may have known him since you met him earlier in Pearl City. He is one of my acquaintances from my past and as your master who expects you to be strong and safe in the future, I've previously decided that you'll train under him to improve all aspects of your battle, you may not know him but some people can defeat him in a hand-to-hand battle in this world. If one day you can defeat him then it will be the most glorious day for your master “Melanie laughs and jokes when he says to John in the pharmacy hall.
Meanwhile, both John and Vlad did not take it as a joke, John has faith in him to defeat Vlad in the future because he knows he can use AI to improve himself and his techniques while the simulation will improve him every second in battle while Vlad's Instinct refuses this idea is as Joke and believes that John could make it in the near future but he still takes it as a compliment from Melanie.
However, Melanie still emphasized this as the main point when talking to them.
“Of course your first priority will still be to study under me and become the greatest Potion of all time in Arkon so you still can't slack off in herbology and learn about potions from me. From tomorrow, some of your time will be allocated to combat training with Vlad and then, later, you can play barons in the city. ”
” I have no problem with that as I will still be able to learn more techniques and improve my techniques as well from a man who is a veteran when it comes to battles and covert operations. However ... ”
After this time John paused briefly adding suggestions after thinking for a while. ,
“I want one person from the slave group to train with me, is it okay with you guys?”
Meanwhile Melanie has a serious expression on her face as she wonders who the man who just so happens to get John's attention from all the slaves.
Vlad already had an idea of who the man was but since the man was John's slave, he didn't bother because it was disrespectful to John. The slaves here in Arkon were treated as livestock and hence people remained cautious when dealing with the slaves of others.
“who is the one who has caught your attention? I want to meet him first before we decide,”
Melanie asked and said to John.
“Yes, I already had an idea of who that person was because I had already met all the slaves before John and co arrived at the northern border town, so I don't think there will be any problems if we have one more person on “Because he thinks he can be his asset, we might as well give it a try. However, I will not be responsible for your injuries while we train,” Vlad told them seriously.
Vlad then looked towards Melanie in a meaningful way and said to her, “It will be your responsibility to provide a medicinal bath and pasta for both, the only thing I can give is to train and share some of my experiences, he said, I've been through the same training and so has John that we can't go indirectly for this training.
“Well, that guy's name is Jake, he seems most worthy of a future among all slaves when it comes to fighting. In addition, he is quite young who can be trained for the future.”
As expected, it was Jake that Vlad had already known about since only Tornwall and Jake stood out among all the slaves, the, but Jake has wolf eyes that show emotion full of determination and revenge deep inside them and hence Vlad's conclusion to Jake.
When the conversation ends between them, they all first go to John's house and look for Jake.
