Chapter 813 Six Months
Chapter 813 Six Months
In the blink of an eye, six months have passed since Vicente and Nova's engagement ceremony!",
After that day, Vicente and Nova became the number one couple in Scott Province and the Seidel Kingdom, with hundreds of thousands of people following the news about them and cheering for their success and happiness.
People throughout the kingdom loved Vicente for the things he had done before the engagement, but most of all, they loved him for what he had done in the past six months.
About a year and a half after the worst of the crisis hit the Seidel Kingdom, the province was at its best thanks to the many actions of Vicente and his family throughout the territory.
In six months, the men of the royal army and the Fuller family had recovered all the ruins of the province's destroyed cities and taken over all the plantations and mining areas in the territory.
With the expansion of the railway lines, more weapons and armor—because of the alliance agreements signed earlier and within the past few months—the number of warriors with the ability to kill 4th and 5th stage creatures had greatly increased.
As a result of these improvements in the province, the news that the province had returned to 100% human control spread throughout the cities in the area in the past week.
In less than a year of work in the area, Vicente and his group had eliminated the threat to the remaining 2.5 million plus inhabitants of the province, attracting interest from all over the state and even neighboring states.
Migrations had recently begun again, with people from other provinces of the kingdom, and even from the Chutha Dynasty and the Kenyth Empire, wanting to move to Scott Province.
Amid the province's recovery, the Fuller family had strengthened tremendously, gaining more men in their ranks and a higher average power.
Now, for the first time in millennia, the most powerful force in the kingdom in terms of soldiers was no longer the royal family, but the Fuller family!
...
At the Fuller family headquarters in Metal City...
Vicente had just returned to the city after a two-week trip to the Snow Province and was meeting with his sisters, Eve, and his master.
"Where's Nova? Is she all right?" He asked with a goofy smile on his face.
The wedding was scheduled to take place in less than two months, but what he was most interested in was the well-being of his PREGNANT fiancée!
After only a few months of trying, Vicente and Nova had got it, and she was now in her fourth month of pregnancy.
Pregnancy for magicians wasn't exactly the same as pregnancy for normal humans, but there weren't many differences. Birth could occur between the 11th and 13th month of pregnancy, a time when the mother was vulnerable until the baby was born.
Nova was not yet weakened by her pregnancy, but Vicente was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, they're fine." Nina said as she smiled at Vicente, enjoying seeing the worry on her brother's face. "My sister-in-law and my first niece are fine. They are taking care of the wedding preparations, so it's best not to see each other during the day."
They already knew the gender of Vicente's first child. Nova was pregnant with a baby girl, Annie Fuller.
"Is that so?" Vicente smiled silly while Lauren looked at him out of the corner of her eye, surprised at her powerful brother.
'I'll never have children...' she thought to herself, feeling ashamed of Vicente for the way he always acted when it came to Nova and Annie.
"Annie is getting healthier every month, Vicente. She's already starting to kick a little. You should pay attention to that later. It's quite funny." Eve commented to her friend.
Nova, Nina and Eve spent a lot of time talking about Annie daily, and lately they had been paying close attention to Annie's movements.
Annie's movements were still subtle, but she was active, a sign that she would move even more as the pregnancy progressed.
Vicente nodded at Eve, curious to see such a thing.
Then Lauren changed the subject. "How was your trip to the Snow Province?"
After reclaiming the Scott Province, the family's current focus was on reclaiming the Snow Province and moving forward with Vicente's plan to establish the border of his domains in that area.
He wouldn't try to reclaim the entire Seidel Kingdom. After securing the Snow Province, he intended to maintain his domains before visiting his allies in the southern region.
More important than creating secure areas in the Seidel Kingdom would be ensuring the defensive and offensive capabilities of his allies around areas such as the Chutha Dynasty, the Kenyth Empire, and the Andoria Kingdom.
With the Diamond Province currently in a stable situation and plans developing for the Snow Province, it wouldn't take long for him to start traveling around the region.
Vicente looked at Lauren and sighed, his expression changing.
"Well, I'd say. I've established the basic defenses of this area and the improvements to the railroads there, so it will be easier to move forward with our plans for this area than it was in the province.
With the number of armed men we have on the border between Snow Province and Scott Province, we can quickly guarantee the security of the entire area."
"This is good. With Snow Province, we'll have over 6 million people and a large area to train warriors, mine resources, and produce food. We can live sustainably in that area even if things get worse in the future." Benson said with relief.
"What about the metal cities in this area? When are you going to build them?" Eve asked.
"After my marriage to Nova and the full recovery of the Snow Province. I will build five cities along the border, with a Cataclysm Order outpost in each of them."
These would be the headquarters of their forces to prevent monsters from entering their domains, but also where migrants could enter their domains, wait for the chance to gain access to the interior of their territory, and also awaken their powers.
With the situation improving for them, the group was already planning to start building new Awakening Altars!
'Once that's done, I'll have the peace of mind to travel around the region without worrying about my family...' Vicente thought to himself, while he couldn't help but feel eager for it to be over and for him to go and deal with places like the one Julian had warned him about.
