"Kingdom what is wrong!?" Cloey cried, trying to help him."Nothing, just our new friend finally woke up." Kingdom grimaced as his arm burned even more."New friend?" Cloey said, confused. She then looked at Kingdom's left arm. It was slightly glowing and the tattoo was starting to move.A loud cry filled the room as a large black bird appeared in front of Kingdom and Cloey. The bird, Ava, was around 1.5m tall with a wingspan over 4m. She was entirely black with a gold trim around each of her feathers. She had a beautiful plume of feathers on her head that gave her a majestic look, she also had extremely long tail feathers.A dark flame covered her body as she spread her wings. After a few seconds the flame retreated and she looked at Kingdom with intrigue."Ava right? I'm Kingdom. Nice to finally meet you." Kingdom introduced himself with a friendly smile.Ava didn't answer and continued to stare at Kingdom. Her beautiful red eyes never left him. Kingdom didn't shy away from her gaze

The pack sensed his presence early and retreated back to a large cave. They seemed to sense Kingdom's strength because none of them challenged him or attacked. At the mouth of the cave over 100 wolves stood growling at him. These wolves had red fur with black markings on their sides. They stood around 1.5m tall and 3m long.The pack leader emerged from the cave, it stood around 2m tall and 4m long, around the same size as Chaser. Its fur was a deep shade of red and the markings on its side were complex.'What do you want human?' a feminine voice entered Kingdom's head."Oh so you can talk, good. That makes things easier." Kingdom spoke loudly for her to hear.'I'm waiting human.' her voice sounded annoyed."I want to enter an agreement with your pack." Kingdom spoke bluntly.'What's the agreement?' she asked, mildly curious."Your pack will help my people scout the area. You can report your findings to a man named James. He will meet you at the human city's gate that is straight south

The mansion was empty when Kingdom returned, only the maids were present. Kingdom looked at the City Lord's panel.---City 01City Lord: KingdomPopulation: 232,747Military Strength: 21Economic Strength: 34---There was only a slight improvement to the economy and not much else.Looks like I have a long way to go. Kingdom let out a light sigh.Kingdom took out a small piece of jade from his storage.Communication JadeKingdom had seen these in the system's store and bought two—one for him and one for Deke. He was going to buy more, but they were very expensive. They allowed two people to communicate with each other over long distances, basically fancy ass walkie-talkies.They hadn't been able to find the range limit of the jade yet. Sending his Internal Energy into the jade, Deke, can you send someone to tell James to come to the mansion?The reply was immediate. Yes.Kingdom placed the jade back into his storage. Kingdom told a maid to guide James into the hall when he arrived. K

The next day, Kingdom sent messages to Colton, Lilith, and Shenelle that he would be training his parents and Jefferson today, just in case they needed him. After a quick breakfast, Kingdom took his parents and Jefferson to the north gate. This gate wasn't very busy and had few hunters leaving from it. Kingdom's swords were still being upgraded by Ulfric, so he didn't have any weapons and would be using his fists covered in basic gauntlets today. Kingdom sent Chaser with another hunter group to help train some more rookies to level thirty. Kingdom summoned Ava and climbed onto her back. Thanks to Ava's skill, Shape Shifter, she was able to change her size. If she turned bigger, it would use up her mana quickly, which was why she tended to stay normal size, but Kingdom asked her to turn larger so she could carry him and his family this time. Kingdom decided to head toward the Red Forest Wolf's lair. Even though it was only a day since he met them, he wanted to check in and see what

Kingdom bought a large compound for the dwarves to work in. He made sure there were forges on the property for them. After guiding them to their new home, he had some people send over new clothes and food. He didn't give them any alcohol, much to the dwarves' disappointment.Leaving the dwarves to settle in, Kingdom went and found his four generals. He split the remaining money in the treasury and gave it to them for their divisions. The generals were shocked at the amount."I want only the best. You have no excuse now," Kingdom said, looking at them seriously.Swallowing hard, they all nodded.Kingdom smiled and turned to James. "James, don't you have a meeting soon?""Yes, you're right." James took off running toward the north gate.The other three looked at Kingdom in confusion. Kingdom smirked. "I got him a wolf pack to help with scouting.""...a wolf pack?" Colton asked in disbelief."Yes, a wolf pack. In the future, I plan to bring not just humans and slaves but also intelligent
