Conqueror

In a cozy meeting room, fendrel and his subordinates were having a discussion.

"Franco, how many soldiers do we have now?" Fendrel asked franco.

"We have a total of 136 soldiers, 30 barbarians, 16 thief, 60 swordsmen including all the goblins, 14 knights, and 16 archers, your majesty." answer franco.

"That's good, franco from now on, you will be in charge of all the barbarians." fendrel said.

"Thank you, your majesty. For trusting me so much, I will never disappoint your majesty" franco is extremely grateful, his majesty giving him an important position. He felt like crying.

Seeing franco that looks like it's about to cry, 'what the heck, this guy is over reacting' fendrel rolled his eyes, and shift his gaze towards the two knights

"Purd and grecs, you two from now on will also manage all the knights." fendrel said

"Thank you, your majesty. We will never disappoint your majesty, and protect your majesty, with all our lives" the two only wanted to protect fendrel, and obey only her command.

Fendrel felt warm in his heart, he always wanted to become a king or emperor. Like the novels, he always read in his previous life. When the virtual reality game, conqueror online came out. It's not exaggerated to say that, he is the happiest human being on that day. From the day he played the game until he becomes a real king with a city and army.

But he can't say that he already achieved his dream. The whole thing was run, by AI and technology. But now he can feel the will of his soldiers to protect him. Their own will, that all of his subordinates and soldiers don't have, in his previous life.

Fendrel shifted his gaze to gioz. "Gioz, I want you to teach all the goblins, how to talk in human language."

"that's... a little hard, sir fendrel."

"Don't worry I will build a small school, in the village to help you." He only has 200 gold coins, for now, so he will build a school and barracks first, after this meeting.

"I will thank sir, on behalf of all the goblins" gioz was moved, he is very thankful for fendrel, for taking care of the goblins.

"You are all my people now, so it's only natural for me to take care all of you" He said with a warm smile.

"Ohh, franco I want you to tell black, that he will be the leader of all the thief. And find a reliable archer for all the archers" fendrel felt embarrassed, he forgot black. Black is one of his first soldiers along with franco, so they're a little special.

Since fendrel didn't have anything more to say, so he dismissed them.

"That's it, the meeting is over. You can leave now" After the three bade farewell, they left.

Fendrel who is about to leave heard a joyous voice outside. The door open and a cute little piggy came in.

"Your majesty hehe, I have good news" lily said with excitement.

"Ohh, what is it?" fendrel ordered lily, to investigate the surrounding areas, to see if there's a settlement or village nearby.

"I found a village, in the west. Hmm, they look like an ugly version of me" Lily said with a puffed cheek, she is annoyed upon seeing, those extremely ugly pigs.

"Ahh, those are orc. Good job you are really a blessing to me" fendrel patted lily, who's already on her shoulder.

"Your majesty, since I did a good job. What about a reward hehe" lily said with anticipation.

"hmm, go and asked gioz, I think.. we still have some pig meat" fendrel teased Lily.

Lily stiffened and glared at fendrel "Aahh, your majesty, you're bullying me, huhu." lily flies out of the meeting room, with a sad face.

Fendrel can't help but laugh at lily, he felt bad though. But of course, he will reward them, when he is done stabilizing the village and earned some money.

Fendrel walks out of the room, with lavender on his side, and plans to level up with lavender. As long as he doesn't have, soldiers and subordinates around him. He will get all the experience, because if he has subordinates around him. The system will automatically recognize them as my party.

Although he levels up by one level. Because of the soldiers, who are hunting for food. He gets 5% of all the experience soldiers earn. So fendrel can just sit back, and let the soldiers do the work. But it's so slow for him, and he also needs some experience, not just for level up. But to also gain experience in fighting.

He got out of the village, and plan to head toward the west. Purd and glecs wanted to come along, but fendrel denied the two. Eventually, the two knights didn't make a fuss. Since It's their majesty's command, they naturally obey it. If they don't, then that will equivalent to betraying fendrel.

-----

Fendrel studies the map given to him by lily. Lily can make maps to the places she already visited. It's one of his powers, It can't detect any life form, and just looked like an ordinary map, but more clear.

They need to walk for one hour before they will arrive at their destination. Along the way they killed all the beast, they bumped into. Since all the beasts are low-level and just right for the two. Fendrel level up two levels, and lavender level up to four levels.

Fendrel also already knows, that this is only an outer layer of the forest. So he doesn't have to worry about, high-level beast popping out like the dragon they encounter. He was dumbfounded when he learned that this is just the first entry of the forest. How big was the forest, he can't imagine it.

After two hours of grinding and walking, fendrel and lavender arrived at the orc village.
