Chapter 164: Migration ( 14 )
The next day quickly arrived—Rowan set out very early in the morning for the farms to start constructing the shelter for the animals.
This time, unlike before, Rowan was going to work on the project alone without the assistance of any of his soldiers, as he wanted them to focus their time and effort on perfecting their skills since they would soon be going out for a series of long and tedious hunts.
The soldiers took his words seriously, and they spent their time practicing and perfecting their skills.
Most of them even spent their free time practicing nonstop. Some even had sleepless nights just to perfect their skills.
A great chaos was coming, and they were the only defense against it, so they refused to laze around.
Vishirk and Dragun went to meet Riela to assist her with her magic cultivation.
They were surprised to see that she had mastered the spells they had given her in a very short amount of time.
Both of them even began to wonder what sort of powerful god had blessed her with such insane talent.
Since she had mastered the basic spells, Dragun decided to focus on improving her magic cultivation instead.
He wanted to become a mage as soon as she could in order to start practicing more light and spirit magic.
Riela was really lucky—since she could learn skills faster than normal, she had more time on her hands to use enchanted embroidery.
After she awakened her magic, she even began to think about imbuing special spells into the robes—like healing spells so no one would be sick anymore.
As for sewing new clothes, the village was currently short on raw materials for that.
The women had already mastered how to use the sewing machine for complex sewing tasks. All that was left now were raw materials to put their newly acquired skills to the test.
Aside from all these, Liara and Ren were still unconscious.
Dragun had tried all he could, even using specific healing potions on them, but they had no effect.
Their families became even more worried as time flew by quickly.
They were really worried that both of them might die of starvation.

At the farm, Rowan could be seen building the shelter at an incredibly fast speed.
He was able to carry three big logs of wood at the same time.
Only three hours had passed, and Rowan had already completed digging and setting up the foundation for the shelter. He was already done with at least 30% of the task in a very short amount of time, something that would have taken the soldiers at least 30 hours to complete.
In fact, his speed was so insane that some farmers found it difficult to focus on their tasks and could only watch him.
Sometimes, they couldn't see Rowan clearly as his movement became a blur in their perspective.
They could only be amazed by his speed.
…
Not so far away from the village, D'andre could be seen strolling through the dark forest with a casual smile on his face.
He took long, confident strides through the grassy lane, his body emitting a strong magical aura that drew the monsters around him closer.
Some of the monsters and demonic beasts fled, while others tried to send him out of their territory.
However, those monsters were wiped out with a simple flip of D'andre's fingers as though they were nothing.
A C-rank Earth Elephant with the ability to manipulate the earth around it attacked him.
A monster of this rank would be able to slaughter a group of ten thousand F-rank soldiers in a matter of minutes.
However, this insane monster was taken down with a simple flick of his finger, displaying how insanely strong D'andre was.
At the moment, D'andre could be seen stepping on the corpses of demonic wolves he had just slain with the same smile on his face.
"It's been a very long time since I actually slayed monsters. I have gotten way stronger than I was back then. I can take down stronger monsters that would've taken me minutes or even hours back then, in a matter of seconds," D'andre muttered to himself proudly.
Even with the demonic beasts and monsters coming to challenge him from time to time, his mind did not drift away from the thought of meeting Elara.
He could still recall how cold she treated him even after all the help he had offered, and it made him more determined to break her cold demeanor and make her fall in love with him.
"As long as I keep my rizz up, her cold walls will shatter and she will love me," D'andre said with a smirk.
Aside from the thoughts of getting Elara, D'andre did not stop wondering if Rowan had evolved his territory.
"Rowan is a genius and should've won the war with that village already. I am sure his territory might have evolved after the war if he actually played his cards right," he continued.
If Rowan's territory actually evolved, then D'andre would be able to sell more expensive items to him, which would give him more profit.
"I wonder when the novice territory lord tournament would begin. I can't wait to see how strong Rowan really is," he muttered and increased his walking pace.
D'andre decided to stretch his body a little bit by hunting monsters and demonic beasts before going to Winterseed.
He brought a small red whistle from his inventory and blew on it.
A faint sound drifted across his area, reaching the ears of every demonic beast and monster around him.
Like a miraculous bait, all the monsters and demonic beasts who heard the sound, both weak and strong, began sprinting towards his location.
Their thumping sounds and cries slowly filled the atmosphere, causing D'andre to smile.
"This is what I am talking about." He laughed heartily before drawing out a sword from his inventory.
The sword was a magnificent mix of red and gold, giving it a somewhat majestic feel as it began to glow menacingly.
The monsters and demonic beasts, numbering in the thousands—mostly E and D-rank and a few C-ranks—formed a circle around him.
Their eyes were filled with bloodthirst.
Even the weak monsters felt strong at this moment.
The effect of the magical sound twisted their mentality and only pushed them to fight and not think, giving them a big boost in hunger that caused them to go super bloodlust in the fight.
This number of monsters would definitely tear Rowan to pieces with his current E-rank powers.
But D'andre saw it as a playground and began slaughtering them by swinging his sword and taking down tens of them with one swing.

It was evening, and Rowan had concluded constructing the shelter for the animals.
He could be seen standing shirtless, staring at the shelter he had just built with a smile on his face.
It looked exactly like the shelter on Earth, but way bigger with a pretty outdated structure.
Nevertheless, it was more than enough to take care of the animals for the meantime.
While Rowan observed the vast structure he had solely constructed, the farmers and some other villagers began moving the animals into the shelter.
Elara and the other representatives stood behind to give instructions and ensure the work was done orderly to prevent any issues in the future.
The place was filled with the sounds of the animals and the discussions of the people around.
Rowan stayed nearby until the farmers were done moving all the animals into the shelter.
He was about to step out and thank them for their efforts when he received a notification that made him smile.
[ You have obtained LIVESTOCK ]
[ AGRICULTURE has improved to E ]
Rowan nodded his head with a neutral smile.
He expected some sort of rewards, but even without any, he was still satisfied with his achievement.
Rowan was about to speak with the farmers when he heard a loud voice scream—"The Angel is back!!"
It was coming from the soldiers at the guardhouse close to the farms.
Rowan immediately suspected who it was and prayed in his heart that his guess was correct.
"The angel?"
"Is the angel really back?"
Some of the young ladies amongst the farmers became distracted at once after hearing that name.
Rowan observed their reactions and shook his head.
The young ladies didn't even wait for him to speak before rushing towards the location of the voice. They all wished to see the gorgeous face of D'andre once again.
The older farmers were also curious and determined to meet D'andre.
The last time he was in their village, he had helped them with a lot of issues, especially providing food for them. So his name and title were etched in their hearts.
Elara stayed behind while the others rushed out.
Her eyes were fixed on Rowan.
Rowan immediately knew what was going through her mind, and a plan quickly appeared in his head.
'If I help D'andre by wooing Elara, I'm sure I would earn some really nice favors from him. Who knows, he might reward me with a billion evolution points, hehe,' he thought.
Without wasting time, he kicked off his plan.
He took Elara with him to meet D'andre.
