King’s Hill Evolution
A
ditya looked around the room. Most of the outpost leaders
were there. They had all become closer since gaining
complete control of the Beast Mountain Range Outposts.
Aditya sat at the top of the U-shaped table, with several ex-
outpost leaders sat on either side. Now trade leaders, military
commanders, mercenary liaisons, crafter liaisons, ambassadors, and
more. They created the core power within not only King’s Hill but the
outposts connected to it.
Most of the outpost leaders took the position because they
needed to, but their skills lent them to other activities they would be
better utilized in. Now that they had the opportunity, he was sure
they could use their talents for the best of Beast Mountain Range.
“In conclusion,” Caius Sidonius said to the murmurs of the
crowd, “we will soon finish the first set of roads to connect the
outposts to King’s Hill—the Ring Road that circles the Beast
Mountain Range and the Compass Trade Route. There are several
other trade routes that could be upgraded to roads to increase trade
from different neighbors. We are working with the military and
mercenary liaisons to see which of these paths we can cover, talking
to the trader liaisons to evaluate the profit that will be brought into
the Beast Mountain Range, and keeping an eye on our neighbors to
see who will play nice and who are eyeing us. I would prefer to not
give the enemy a path right into our heart.” He bowed to Aditya and
sat.
One of the outpost leaders raised their hand.
Aditya nodded for them to continue. He rarely talked in these
meetings, acting like a neutral party.
“I’m sure your own doves have been hearing information from
the forces outside of Beast Mountain Range. So far, they have left us
alone. Will they continue to do so in the future, and can we deal with
it? We are a group of traders and mercenaries with a massive forest
filled with powerful beasts that are getting stronger. What if one of
those beasts weakens an outpost and someone takes advantage?”
The outpost leader’s words gained nods from others.
Looking for promises and reassurances. They had taken control
over the Beast Mountain Range, but changes always brought
vultures.
Aditya glanced over to Pan Kun, the leader of the military, and
the mercenary liaison past him.
Pan Kun stood. He was a quiet and simple man, but his power
made the outpost leaders wary of him.
“The King’s Hill army will support the outposts if fights break out.
We are proposing training for the outpost guards to increase their
fighting ability so the army can reinforce them easily and work
together without issues.”
The mercenary liaison spoke next. “We have started to register
the different mercenary groups operating in the Beast Mountain
Range. If there is a beast outbreak and they are inside the outpost,
then, according to the contracts we have with them, for better
treatment and preferential prices, they will assist us in defending our
outpost, doubling the effective fighters we can call upon.”
There was grumbling and muttering but, it seemed to mollify
most of the people.
“What about profits? We have not seen any profit come out of
King’s Hill. All of it is spent as soon as it comes in!” another outpost
lord said.
