Survey results.

Sure thing.

There are no large hordes of monsters or demon lords.

Just dark mountains and dark trees.

What else?

What else?

I've stressed about geology and climate.

There are dark lands and dark winds blowing around.

It's all dark, no wonder it's called Dark Mountains.

I shouldn't have picked you

to be the class representative for geography.

Class representative?

My lord, can we really develop this area?

Dark Mountains? Why choose this place?

Where else within Ans could I find

another unoccupied land that is peaceful and fertile?

That place is closest to the demon wasteland.

How is it peaceful and fertile?

Every land looks wild and dangerous

before they were developed.

This place fulfills all the basic requirements

for forestry, mining, and water infrastructure.

No one has disturbed this land in a hundred years.

There is no better place to develop than this.

Have some faith.

We're not only going to build a new home,

but also to build a brand new era.

My lord, we've arrived.

It's so cold.

Thank you.

My lord, this place doesn't look easy to get conquered.

Our supplies can last us for a while.

We'll set up camp here.

Tell everyone to start working.

First of all, as an experienced survival gamer--

pathfinder,

I would like to stress three points.

First, accumulation.

Second, cooperation.

I need all of you to disregard your status

and work well with the residents, and even the slaves.

That's easy for someone from the House of Cecil.

Third, patience.

We'll start slowly from zero.

Correct.

Next, I'll lay down the specific plans.

Philip,

you've been with the residents the longest,

you'll be their leader.

I'm at your command.

To get rich, first cut down the trees.

This area is abundant with trees, so clear as many as possible.

But remember to retain the tree species.

Change not the green mountains, let the rivers flow ever blue.

Next, Heidi. You're in charge of establishing

a transportation route from here to Town of Tanzan.

Me?

Town of Tanzan lies downstream of Whitewater River.

They happened to lack a supply of high-quality logs.

You will negotiate with them

to trade logs for various other resources

and open up the economy.

Of course, my lord.

Amber.

Me too?

Keep an eye on those logs and don't let them drift away.

This is too much.

I'll pay.

Sure thing!

But to have a thief keep an eye on them is...

Hey! Didn't he say to cooperate?

You're an exception.

You!

She won't just keep an eye on the logs,

but also to survey the entire riverside area.

This is your main task.

And Rebecca.

Yes, my lord.

Drink more warm water.

Yes, my lord.

Please put this over there.

Yes.

Good, good.

A piece of crystal?

It can actually stay connected to the satellite.

This will be very convenient.

Philip.

My lord.

How goes the resources accumulation in the first step?

We have ample reserves of wood and minerals,

and Town of Tanzan has been easy to negotiate with.

However...

What is it?

We might have too much and nowhere left to store them.

Now we have logs and raw mineral waiting to be processed.

Now we can move onto phase two.

Do as written in here to expand the camp.

Not a problem, my lord.

What was that?

My inheritance.

The entrance is forged out of pure purple steel,

your dagger cannot pry it open.

Lord Ancestor, over here.

It is as you've mentioned.

Relics from Gandor era are hidden in here.

This place is close to the southern part of the demon ruins.

No one has explored this area in hundreds of years.

Other than me,

no one else knew that there are treasures hidden here.

Treasures? Where are they?

Treasures from 700 years ago. Step aside.

No one guards such a huge treasure vault?

It's also thanks to the internal strife within the royal family

a few hundred years ago that this matter didn't get pass on.

So, Lord Ancestor, are we really going inside?

Don't worry. There won't be any aberrants in here.

Rebecca, fire please.

Sure.

Cole from the sixteenth squadron rests here.

The corrupted forces of the demons

once enveloped this Dark Mountains.

The sixteenth squadron stood guard at the end of this hall.

By the time the demons retreated, no one remembered this place.

All these doesn't seem to be from Gandor era.

They seem much older.

I don't know.

This place was already a ruin when we arrived.

Come.

Okay.

My turn.

You...

Gandor elongated gold coins, silver shield coins,

and even real golden clover coins!

Oh my goodness. Big boss, we're rich!

This is what we call a good item!

Let me see! Let me see! Don't be such a miser!

They're magical equipment, Gandor's trump card.

It's unfortunate that its magical power has greatly dissipated.

For the time being, we'll take this back to Heidi

and modify a prototype.

In short, we'll rely on these to rebuild a new Citadel of Cecil.

First, make an inventory of everything.

Then summon the soldiers.

But the development of our new domain relies on these.

Don't be angry, my dearest.

Who are you calling "dearest"?

You see, the crops this season tends to wither early,

so the harvest won't be good.

We could provide assistance for

the development of new Citadel of Cecil,

but...

What other conditions do you have?

I might have to increase the price.

You will not increase the price.

Then, perhaps...

You will not!

Pardon me, Lady Heidi.

The people in Town of Tanzan are humans too.

I need discuss this with Lord Galway.

Of course, please do.

Lord Galway, can you hear me?

Amber, there's something wrong with that candlestick.

Throw it away!

Did someone call me?

What are you staring at?

Lord Ancestor must be thinking about something very important.

What a big gem!

You're mine!

Her shadow.

So big!

Out of the way, Cole.

Cole, His Majesty has sent word.

Lord Galway is being surrounded by demons. Gandor is lost!

Take the residents and retreat!

Humans cannot defy the gods.

This, this is impossible.

Cole, run!

Lord Galway, can you hear me? Can you hear me?

What are you doing? That was my treasure!

Your treasure almost got me killed.

Killed?! Lord Ancestor, what has Amber done to you?

I'm fine now. How are things over at Town of Tanzan?

There are some problems.

Tell Andrew that

if he is worried about

providing for the people in Town of Tanzan,

then he can turn that town into the new Citadel of Cecil.

I will manage it.

If he still wants to remain a lord,

he can forget about additional conditions.

Yes, understood.

Byron. Other than coins, crystals, and equipment,

seal away all other treasures.

No one is allowed to enter here without my permission.

My lord.

My lord.

Lord Galway.

How is the camp doing?

It's starting to take shape.

As per your request, the residences, the smithy,

the lumber mill, and even the ranch are being built.

I'm leaving this to you.

Redo it all.

All? But...

These, these are the residents' hard work...

Philip.

No...

I'm going to declare a matter to everyone once again.

No matter if it is on a decaying land or a fertile field,

or even on this piece of dark soil,

our enemies are not only a certain greedy aristocrat,

or an unpredictable king,

or monsters that come out of nowhere,

or those scheming lords.

Our enemies are never only one.

We will never know who will become our enemy next.

They are constantly watching us,

waiting for every chance to swallow us whole.

But I wish to say that before all lands become fully developed,

our enemy only has one name.

And that is

muddling along.
