Novel Full Chapter 614 Plans with Nova
Chapter 614 Plans with Nova
?The kingdom’s royal army was a very powerful and influential enough force for someone of Nova’s standing to be relevant to Vicente’s plans.
With his current powers, one might think that he could ignore this force and act on his own as he wished. But that would be a naive thought.
The royal army had thousands and thousands of members, with several Sovereigns in its ranks and hundreds of High-level Mages.
Vicente had transformed himself and grown his family very quickly, but he didn’t have the numbers or the reach of the royal army. As such, he didn’t underestimate the strength and potential of this organization!
Nova was making great strides towards becoming someone relevant within this Seidel Kingdom organization, so he couldn’t help but finally use her in his plans in a more meaningful way.
“What do you need me to do?” She asked.
“Nova, a soldier of your age and level, no matter where they come from or where they are, has a lot of influence inside and outside the army. Anyone who looks at you now and has enough intelligence to try to predict your future will consider that one day you will serve alongside the king.” He said, showing her something that, however obvious, needed to be said. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“Anyone will try to please you and open the doors of their homes to you, Nova. Anyone will want the favor of a future pillar of the kingdom.
I need that. I need you to ask for favors, give orders, and generate positive effects for my group.
Get information about families, people, and places, but also make specific groups willing to do business with me. Anything that accelerates my family’s growth will help us prepare for the worst.
Soon, I’ll meet the Duke of the Province, and I intend to arrange with him to facilitate our mutual growth.
If you can influence the army within the province, I’ll have everything I need to grow faster and eventually take my men to other provinces or even states.
The resources from these deals will help us have more men and methods of defending ourselves when the monsters reach us.”
“All right, I’ll do my best.” She agreed without blinking, already too committed to him to take a step back.
He looked at her in silence before saying. “I have an ambitious plan in mind.”
“What is it?” She noticed the change in his eyes.
“I want to build a metal city. If we have a metal city during the disaster after The Seven Day Tsunami, I’ll be able to protect those who matter to us with all my powers.”
She stared at him open-mouthed, feeling that this made sense. However, building a city was something that wouldn’t be quick, easy, or even cheap.
What’s more, they would have to get people to agree to live in such a place, or it wouldn’t be sustainable. That is, it would be too expensive to maintain.
Vicente was great and respected among his men. But this was because he had a lot of financial power and influence. But if he spent it all on something that wouldn’t succeed, he could lose everything he had built.
So, it wouldn’t be enough for him to build such a place and live in isolation.
“That could be difficult… I mean, where will we find the materials? How will we build it? You won’t be able to use your powers to do that. Ultimately, do you need so many metals? I think that even if you became a Paragon, you wouldn’t be able to control that much metal, Vice.” She was honest in her words, without trying to diminish Vicente’s plans or discourage him.
“It will certainly be difficult.” He agreed with this part of her speech. “But it’s not as simple as you think. I can’t just manipulate metals. I can influence many different reactions through my magnetic powers.
If I have a place like this, even a vampire won’t be able to threaten us, Nova. That could be our final defense.”
Vicente wasn’t sure what his powers would be like when the calamity hit his territory. Perhaps the Throne of Darkness would be entirely under his control, and he wouldn’t need any other powers.
But the truth was that he couldn’t count on that until he had mastered this second power. Until then, it would be wiser to consider what he could always count on, his magnetic power.
If things changed further in the future, fine, he could change his plans accordingly. But for now, he preferred to prepare for the worst.
“That… Sigh, that makes sense. Well, we can try. How about we start with something smaller, like a house?” She suggested. “I know it would take more than that for something like this to make sense. But let’s start with a main house and then essential locations in a city.
I can get land from the king that is exclusive to the army for you to build on. If we can get the Duke involved, we can eventually have rights to act publicly and attract citizens of the kingdom to our village.”
No city, not even a village, would come into being without the king’s knowledge and permission. Because of this, for Vicente’s plan to work, he would need the army and noble forces on his side. He didn’t need everyone to understand his plans or even know what would happen. But he did need people capable of making certain things possible for him now or in the future.
The royal army had many possibilities, being the main administrator of some of the few lands in the kingdom that weren’t ruled by nobles or royalty.
These army lands were theirs for the army to use as they wished, and it was even possible for a soldier of great influence to build a secret headquarters that not even the king knew about.
As long as one used land of little interest to the kingdom and didn’t use the army’s funds, it was entirely possible to do something like this.
Vicente was wealthy, so Nova didn’t think she would have to use army resources.
He then agreed with her. “Look into it for me. It would also be interesting for you to start your own faction within the army in the province. Having soldiers we trust to give legitimacy to certain future matters will help us.”
“I’ll need resources for that.” She said, because that was the only way to do what Vicente had in mind in a short space of time without them taking too many risks.
“Don’t worry. I’ll cover any compromises you make. Just do what’s necessary and help me with soldiers and nobles. It would also be interesting for you to approach people from the Martial Court.” He suggested as he stood up.
“That’s a lot of things. So it’ll be a while before I can help you with all this.” She warned.
“Try to focus on that for now. For the rest, we must keep some distance until I sort out the problem with the vampire. I don’t want you to get caught in the crossfire.” He said before saying goodbye, not giving her much chance to discuss it.
