Assigning Tasks

To clean up the bandits on the nearby hills, it was indeed necessary to train a group of well-trained knights.

After Su Chen returned from the Karev family, he had mentioned this matter to Ian.

These days, Su Chen kept bringing surprises to Ian one after another, which numbed his nerves. He no longer tried to find out why the mayor had obtained these cultivation methods and strange treasures, who would not want to become stronger?

He was more concerned about the news that could make him stronger. 

At that time, Su Chen was obviously tired after the intense battle. That was why Ian had proposed this idea of the evening meeting.

Ian also wanted to become a strong warrior. He had been training very hard, but he had no way to do so.

"Mayor, when will we study that combat aura training method? It's not that I'm in a hurry, but our town's defense is indeed a little weak. If we train a group of powerful warriors earlier, won't we be able to protect our town better?"

Many times, it did not matter whether a person was powerful or not, whether he worked hard or not. Instead, it was his background that determined whether he was qualified to learn more powerful combat aura and magic.

Now that there were methods to cultivate combat aura, as well as various combinations of formation training, it was only a matter of time before they were able to train a group of knights with good quality.

They could have new knights charge and attack together with the Glimmer Knights. They could minimize casualties and also increase battle experience.

In the future, the caravans would also need the protection of the knights when they went out. The Glimmer Knights only had one hour of summoning time every day, so they would definitely not be able to complete the long-term escort mission.

Therefore, no matter the perspective, it was very necessary to train a group of new and powerful knights.

"Tomorrow morning, gather at the training ground of the guards. Ian, remember to pick a group of guards with good qualities and try to train them first. I will study them tonight and teach them to you tomorrow."

Su Chen could understand Ian's eagerness, but he had not learned the combat aura training method, so he could not teach it to him now.

He could only study it tonight and train with them tomorrow.

Ian also knew that he could not rush things like training. He was looking forward to learning the combat aura training tomorrow morning, so he quickly nodded. "No rush, no rush..."

"Maggie will have to work hard on the development of our town," Su Chen turned to look at Maggie

"I have a lot of things I want to achieve. If you feel that you can't handle it, pick a smart and trustworthy person to be your assistant. You can also promote him to take charge of some things in the future."

Maggie thought that the mayor had doubts about his management ability and immediately became nervous

"Mayor, don't worry. I, Maggie, am a first-class expert in handling the administrative affairs and daily trivial matters of the town. I won't let you down!"

"Maggie, I believe in your ability, but there are indeed many things that I plan to develop. Next, I will talk about the current development plan in detail."

Maggie's expression immediately became serious. She took out the notebook in her hand and prepared to make a record.

"Starting from tomorrow, buy all the livestock in lake town back at 20% above the market price. This can be considered as compensation to the residents so that we can focus on feeding them."

"We also need to make plans for the planting of wheat and other crops. Apart from ensuring the daily needs of the town, we will keep a portion of these agricultural products for storage in case of emergency. The rest can be brought out to be traded."

"Also, the blueprints for the construction of the medical center that I gave you today need to be started immediately. The injured guards and militia in the town are now being treated one after another starting tomorrow."

Maggie carefully recorded everything that the mayor said in the notebook in his hand, and his expression slowly became solemn. If the mayor personally oversaw the things that the mayor said, he would definitely be too busy.

But he did not know that the mayor had not finished.

"There's also the broken defenses of Lake Town. The fence also needs to be repaired, and the compensation for the damaged residents is also a big project.

"We also need to build a caravan to trade with the surrounding cities and buy some resources that we urgently need. With so many things, do you still think that you can do it well?" Su Chen smiled and told Maggie the plans in his heart, finally, he asked jokingly.

"This... May require two or three assistants. There are indeed a lot of things, but I promise that the mayor will carefully supervise the implementation of these tasks." Maggie frowned while thinking about how to implement the plan, she promised Su Chen.

Maggie usually dealt with the messy chores of the town. The sudden development of the mayor really caught him off guard and made him feel pressured. However, from Su Chen's clear development plan... He could feel the hope of the future of the town.

These were all well-planned plans for the development of Lake Town. Some could be realized in the near future. For the caravans, they needed to slowly train and find candidates.

"Lord Mayor, we need a lot of stone and wood resources to repair the town's facilities and build the medical center. If we buy these, we will have to spend a lot of money."

"Are there any resources around our town that we can use?" Su Chen also felt that this was a thorny problem. He had not used the omniscient map to explore the nearby resources, so he could only ask them.

Ian seemed to have suddenly thought of something, he quickly said, "There is a gravel ridge to the west of our town. We have been hunting there before. It is an undulating mountain range that stretches all the way to the east. The mountain is covered with gravel of all sizes, bushes, and tall trees. It can meet the needs of ordinary buildings."

"This is good news. How about this, Maggie? You can use the town's funds. You complete these few tasks as soon as possible. I'll ask you about your progress at any time. If I find you slacking off, I'll tell you to pack your things and get out of Lake Town."

Maggie stood up and solemnly gave a half-body salute. "Maggie swears to serve Lord Su Chen to the death. I promise to complete the task!"

Ian also stood up and gave a standard warrior's salute to Su Chen.

"Alright, it's getting late. We've finished discussing the matters of eating and drinking. The two of you should go and rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

Su Chen gave the order to send them away.
