My Kingdom Building Done Right!

Leone couldn’t just show the ceremony of vassalship to outsiders, so he set the venue in the spacious cavern where the Black Wolf Tribe resided deep within the mountain.

He had ordered the Aslanians to ensure no one could disturb them, then assigned Ulric to take charge of the security.

At least, that was what was supposed to happen. To his surprise, the Alborin Tribe and the Riverfang Tribe also joined in on the ceremony.

Ulric and Kael knelt beside Otto. Behind them were all their tribe members, also kneeling toward Leone. This included Yuni, who was only a few meters away behind his father.

"I have talked with everyone in the Alborin Tribe, and we have come to a unanimous decision," Ulric said calmly. "We will also shed our tribe’s name and become part of the Aslan Tribe."

"The Riverfang Tribe also wishes to formally become members of the Aslan Tribe," Kael stated. "We believe that by doing this, we will truly become a single faction in mind, body, and spirit. My Liege, please accept all of us to become your people!"

"""Please accept us!"""

The Alborin Tribe, the Riverfang Tribe, and the Black Wolf Tribe.

They were the three low-ranking tribes of the Borderlands who had somehow ended up forming an alliance together. Just one word from Leone, and those factions would be no more.

Starting tonight, all of them would become known as Aslanians!

Leone looked at everyone and noticed their determined gazes. Since that was the case, he must meet their resolve with equal determination.

"Very well. From this moment onward, I hereby declare that all of you are now part of Aslan Soleil!" Leone declared. "From this moment onward, all of you are Aslanians!"

Leone’s banner appeared in his hand, and he embedded it on the ground right next to him.

The banner fluttered in response, and soon, a golden radiance enveloped everyone.

However, the surprises didn’t end there. Leone once again heard the familiar notification sound inside his head soon after as new rows of text appeared in front of him.

Leone was very impressed with the rewards he obtained from completing the mission he had received after completing his tenth mission.

The rewards were quite generous, especially the teleportation skill. After seeing the vision of their camp being invaded and Yuni choosing to kill herself, he couldn’t help but feel anxious that this situation would happen while he was away in his territory.

Now that he could teleport back to Grimjaw Mountain anytime he wanted, a sense of peace had finally settled within his heart.

Though, as if telling Leone that it wasn’t over yet, another notification appeared in front of him.

————

[Territory Mission Upgrade Unlocked!]

"Your Kingdom is finally taking shape. However, a rising kingdom will always cast a shadow that others cannot ignore.

The stronger you become, the more eyes will turn toward you. Some will look at you in admiration, others with envy. There will also be factions who will sharpen their blades, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Do not be complacent and continue growing your strength. Even in times of peace, danger may quietly take root beyond your sight.

Remain steadfast, Leone Frontera. For a kingdom endures not through power alone, but through the will of its king to always stand ready."

—————

The corner of Leone’s lips twitched after seeing his new rank-up mission. Elite warriors were Rank 2 warriors, and right now, he only had 93 of them.

The majority of the elite warriors belonged to Jason’s group, who became the very first Aslanians.

Aside from Ulric, Kael, and Yuni, the warriors of the Alborin Tribe who had been together with Leone from the start of his exile had all become Rank 2 warriors as well.

It was at this moment Leone truly understood the disparity between the forces of the middle-ranked tribes and his own faction.

The only way they were able to resist the invasion was due to the fortress he had built on Grimjaw Mountain.

Without it, they would have been easily trampled by the invaders who had the advantage in both quantity and quality.

After regaining his composure, the main event finally came. Leone made Otto his vassal. However, unlike the others who looked ten years younger because of it, Otto became twenty years younger instead!

On top of that, the hidden injuries Otto had been enduring during the past few decades had all been fixed by the power of vassalship.

Once the ceremony was over, Daedalus showed the young man Otto’s Status Page. The grimoire was quite surprised to see that the old man had turned into a very powerful asset, which belonged to the category he liked to call a Glass Cannon.

[Otto ]

Race: Human

Prestige Class: Horizon Archer

Strength: 50

Agility: 226

Dexterity: 543

Description: An Elite Hunter who had received a serious shoulder injury during his prime. Because of this, he had been unable to draw the bow for a very long time.

But after receiving Leone’s vassalship, his old injuries were healed, while his ability to draw his bow was increased to its limit, dealing devastating damage with uncanny accuracy.

Even if his target was beyond the horizon, as long as Otto could see it, he could hit it!

—————

Signature Ability: Element True Strike [EX]

— Otto is able to master any type of ranged weapon, even if it’s his first time using it.

— All ranged attacks gain 100% Increased Penetrating Damage.

— Creatures that have the Invulnerability, Invincibility, and Ethereal Properties will receive normal damage from Otto’s attacks, dealing True Strike Damage.

— Otto’s arrows can bypass shields and barriers, but will only deal 50% damage to his target.

— Otto can change the elemental property of his arrows at will.

—————

Leone couldn’t help but notice that the lineup of his vassals were starting to truly take form.

Maximus, Ulric, and Jason were the frontliners.

Blitz and Kael supported their allies through the use of magic attacks.

And now, there was Otto, their true ranged attacker that dealt insane damage. In fact, Otto was the perfect fortress defender.

As long as he was hidden deep within its defenses, he could unleash a barrage of arrows, each one piercing through any kind of defenses.

In fact, his ability was so insane, he was pretty much the perfect killer for high profile targets within the enemy’s ranks!

As long as Otto could see them, he could kill them!

"Absurd," Leone muttered in disbelief after seeing Otto’s Status Page.

"I know, right?" Daedalus commented.

It didn’t really matter if Otto’s Vitality stat was low. As long as he could shoot his target safely, no one could go near him.

While Leone was still in disbelief after seeing the prowess of his new vassal, Gundar and the representatives of the high-ranking tribes couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the fortress.

They had sensed a pulse of power that resonated within the mountain. Aside from the Great Shaman, no one else had any idea of what just happened.

’This energy... it’s so pure and filled with vitality,’ Gundar thought as he reached out to grasp something in front of him.

It was as if he was touching the very fabric of the world that no one else could see aside from those who walked the path of spirits like him.

And from that alone, he came to realize something.

However, it was only a suspicion for now. He could only clarify this suspicion after he saw Leone again, which would only happen after the sun had risen from the east.
