Having to settle down thousands of people was not as easy as Cole had thought. These people were all level 1 with shitty stats and no equipment. Those of them who were Raens automatically fell under Cole's camp, he was the progenitor after, serving him was the only viable route for them.
After the speech quite a few more had taken the oath and changed their races too, and joined. Of all the people within his territory, 90% of them were Raens. Never the less the others were all still willing to be a part of the community. Cole had to have Eze and Irma organize hunting parties that would go out and power level the new comers. It was quite hectic and even more stressful than he had envisioned, but he had help, which made it a little bit easier.
"You can't be serious Cole!" and then there was this problem. Cole sighed as he turned to Look at Tehilla, everyone has been reverent towards her for some reason. She had an Aura to her that screamed command and at the same time she was built different.
It was obvious that as a Raen there was something special about her too, and that was probably because of the title she had. Whilst Cole had the Raen Progenitor title, she had Raen Nest Mother. It did the same thing Cole's did, giving her a percentage for every new Raen that joins them, and at the same time buffs the skills, knowledge and abilities of any Raen in her presence. This had given her a sort of spiritual reverence from every Raen present, and that level of respect when she hadn't even done anything was making Cole annoyed, but nothing was annoying him more than her insistence of coming with him to the 5th floor.
"We spoke about this Tehilla, you will look after things for me while I'm away, there's no one I trust more to do so than you. Why the hell are you being so difficult about this! This is more your gig isn't it!" Cole said to her as the rest of his inner circle watched on from the side, getting entertained by the back and forth between Cole and his Woman, or was it Tehilla and her Man.
"So like a good little wife I should wait for you to go out and slay demons while I sit at home look pretty and take care of all the chores. I'm not built that way Cole, at least not anymore. I need to get my fangs wet with the blood of my enemies." All Cole did was raise an eyebrow at that, stumped by how violent she sounded and worried that perhaps he might have made a monster.
"If it's an enemy you want to fight I have one ready for you my lady. Our territory has been threaten by a powerful force and for sure once Master Cole leaves, I am sure we will be attacked by them. It would not only offer you a chance to level up and grow stronger, but it would give you the pleasure of squashing the enemies of your territory. There's enough adventure here to last a lifetime and Cole does not have the balls to face it, but you can succeed where he has failed! Because let's be honest Lady Tehilla….. he's running away."
Cole turned with indignation as he summoned [Blue Obsidian] ready to blast Neral full of holes. The cyber Dog whimpered and quickly went behind Tehilla while she glared at him, almost daring him to make any sort of move. He had no idea if the dog was helping him out with this or just trying to screw things up for him, it regardless of what it is, Cole knew he was leaving the traitor behind to be on guard duty for the gates. That should teach him some respect.
"Never the less you have a good structure going on here, of course there a few places where there should be improvements but it's good. However the 5th floor should not be your priority only, we're already on the ship back to earth, you have to establish the dungeon that would link your assets on earth to the third floor. That way you can start implementing significant changes as quickly as possible.
As for this northern Glade, are you sure fighting is the only way you can deal with them. If they're so powerful that you would be considered weak in front of them why did they feel the need to threaten you and tell you not to come after them or get in their way. They have dangerous tactics Cole, but odds are the woman you met is actual the leader and not as powerful as she has made herself seem. I would suggest a diplomatic mission just to see if we can come to an agreement.
I get the feeling that there is something special about claiming the middle of the valley and the territory that's there. However I would try and take the path of least bloodshed. You should not be so quick to put the lives of your people at risk. I'll access the threat and let you know if a fight is the only way to settle it, but whatever we chose to do, it would have to wait until you're done with this 5th floor. However the task in our reality can not wait, we should be returning to earth in a week, regardless of how tough the 5th floor might be, you should be ready to start labor projects and development of the territory on earth.
Heck with that neighborhood I don't even think you need more land if it's added to this one eventually. But we can never be too sure, and we can never have too much either. But I believe you should raise the rank to silver now, I wouldn't be able to do anything if there's a chance the territory would experience some sort of flux. So get on with it and get out of my way sweetie, there's just so much to do."
Cole grunted, but he could not keep the small smile on his face a secret. She was happy and enjoying herself, that much he could tell and it made him very happy. This was right up her forte and the asteroid mine aside, this was something that would make her very excited. She was chaos incarnate but she loved nothing that build things and structure them in a sense and order that makes sense.
Even as a Raen she was nothing like him, but perhaps that's why their relationship works so well. But she was right, it was time to breach the silver rank.
