The New Dawn finally came as it was the last day for the finishing of the construction of the hospital!Ric stood silently as the edge of the compound, his eyes were bashing in the sunlight that reflected on his refined body.He wasn't like that pale looking conscript back then, he was more matured with an handsome look as he stood with his long robe that makes he look like one of the nobles!He was in deep thought, he started reflecting on when he transmigrated to this world. He didn't know the purpose he was brought here and why the system was attacked to his body but he knew one thing: which was he would relieve every moment of his present life without any regrets and he will protect his loved ones with everything in him!Firstly, he need the secure this foothold and this was the right step already!***The new hospital opened its doors at first light.Sunlight poured through the tall windows, brightening the clean wards and making the fresh timber walls glow with warmth.

The following day came as usual, as the militia morale was improving. Ric stood at his usual position watching the intensity of the militia drilling. He began to understand how it was back then in his previous life when he started as a recruit, then gradually to the most fearsome General of Capua!He could relate with such experience and he knew the intensity of the formation.His previous life experience made it easier for him to help Morgana navigate through many obstacles in training the new recruits!The training field rang with the clash of wood and metal. Morgana stalked through the ranks like a wolf among sheep, her voluptuous body moving with lethal grace. The morning sun glinted off the crude iron spearheads fresh from the blast furnace.“Hold the line!” she bellowed. “Pikes up! Shields locked! If you flinch when the enemy charges, I’ll kill you myself before they get the chance!”She was in high spirits as she had more expectations towards this training.She has a limited am

Days passed as the Militia kept adapting to the pace and flow of the formation.It was still another regular day but this time around they was an huge improvement.Ric still in his regular position, eyes fixed towards the training field, his expression was unreadable but deep down he knew that soon the news of the progress of this household will spread wide and far.This preparation was for there survival, since he has already challenged the dignity of the nobles. From his knowledge, he knew the nobles will still strike back, but surely he need to prepare ahead.He needed to be able to protect his household and he needed a formidable defense with a formidable army.So when the war break out, he should be fully prepared and maybe…just maybe, it will be there turn to strike back!The militia had come a long way in a short time. What once looked like a disorganized mob of farmers now moved with growing purpose on the training field. Seventy-five men held formation under the midday sun, p

The days in Riverpark Stronghold had settled into a steady, satisfying rhythm. Fields waved with thick green growth, the hospital treated patients without panic, and Morgana’s militia drilled hard enough that their formations no longer looked like a joke. Ric moved between all of it, but he made sure the evenings belonged to his wives.It was a rare moment of bliss!Tonight the central hall felt especially warm. The fire crackled low in the hearth while the four of them shared a simple but plentiful supper. Fresh bread, hearty vegetable stew, and some roasted meat from a successful hunt filled the table. Yan had spent the day finishing another audit and looked quietly satisfied as she reported the results.“The new tax system is holding,” she said, setting her spoon down. “No major shortfalls this week. The people are actually paying without grumbling too much.”The system was finally moving the right track for Riverpark village and everyone paid their dues and there was enough supply

Days turned to weeks as the Militia became used to the drilling and they made tremendous effort. Morgana had smiles on her face as she could see how effective her training has been to them. The Militia were excited also as they were all eager to try and impact what they had learned.The prosperity and peace of the village won't stay for long as a scout who went out for patrol ran towards Ric and delivered some peace of information.The information he gave was that a large bandit confederacy, nearly three hundred strong, was marching on Riverpark. They had heard rumors of rich harvests, new iron weapons, and a Commander who defied nobles. They came for everything, they wanted it all!Ric stood in the central hall with his wives, studying the rough map on the table. “They’re coming for everything we’ve built. We meet them before they reach the walls.”Ric knew nothing can be hidden forever, he knew news of this outpost and it was just a matter of time.What he could possibly do now is
