My Kingdom Building Done Right!-Chapter 41: The Raptors Of The Alborin Tribe

After a few hours of discussion, the warriors of the Riverfang Tribe accepted Ulric’s condition.

Ulric initially proposed that the Riverfang Tribe move to the area near one of two rivers in the forest, where they could build their own huts.

However, Leone dismissed the idea. The barracks could easily accommodate over a thousand warriors, and they already had buildings meant to be used as sleeping quarters.

The Riverfang Tribe only numbered a hundred, so he deemed it best that they stay in the barracks and make it their residence.

He also believed this approach would help the Riverfang Tribe integrate faster. Training alongside Alborin warriors while experiencing the unique benefits only the Alborin Tribe could offer would leave a favorable impression, making it only a matter of time before the two tribes felt as one.

Having residents in the Barracks would make it look less empty as well. Before their arrival, they only had ten warriors inside a place meant to house over a thousand.

Even Ulric had to agree that having more people would make the place more lively.

Also, if the women were also encouraged to train, even if only bows and arrows, they would gain a backup force in case of emergencies.

The archery field was the perfect place for them to train, and frankly, they needed more archers for siege warfare.

Just as Leone expected, the Riverfang Tribe happily accepted the order to stay in the barracks. The wooden fences surrounding the compound, the warriors staying with them, and the mounted repeating crossbows were more than enough to make them feel safe and secured.

Finally, Leone had more manpower. He immediately ordered the Riverfang Tribe to cut some trees and create a clearing in two locations near the entrance of the forest.

There, he would build two outposts and station at least four warriors in each, assigning them in shifts. They would serve as sentries. This was to prevent scouts from snooping in their territory, as well as to keep a lookout for potential dangers.

Leone had already unlocked the Watchtower blueprint, so he only needed the materials to build them.

Four days later, the young man finally completed his sixth mission. He smiled from ear to ear as he glanced at the rewards he gained this time.

————

However, when Leone’s eyes landed on the Bonus Rewards, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.

"All the members of the Alborin Tribe can increase their stats after I clear my missions?!" Leone was so surprised that he spoke his thoughts out loud.

Standing beside him, Yuni was also surprised. She did feel suddenly stronger a minute ago, and Leone’s confirmation confirmed that it wasn’t a hallucination.

The young lady hurried to his side, double-checking if the young man’s words were true.

"So it’s true," Yuni muttered. "We really did get stronger without doing anything."

Leone didn’t know if he should laugh or cry at the ironic situation of him being excluded from the stats up.

Yuni couldn’t stop herself from giggling, knowing Leone must be devastated about his stagnant stats despite completing his mission.

Thanks to his optimism, the young man bounced up right away and just heaved a deep sigh.

"Well, at least everyone is getting stronger," Leone said calmly. "That’s a good thing. Right, Daedalus?"

"Definitely," Daedalus replied. "Don’t feel so down, Master. The Alborin Tribe’s strength is your strength after all."

Yuni smiled faintly. Truth be told, she truly felt anxious at the idea of Leone finally surpassing her in strength.

The young was once weaker than a squirrel, but his strength had been growing at an alarming pace.

Of course, Yuni also wanted Leone to become stronger. After all, that meant she wouldn’t worry about him as much.

"Alright, let’s move to the important part and summon our Raptors!" Leone declared. He had been waiting for this moment for quite some time now.

He flipped through Daedalus’ pages and exchanged five tickets to summon Forest Raptors.

The moment the three-meter tall beasts appeared, even Yuni couldn’t help but take a step back from surprise.

"W-What are these monsters?!" Yuni exclaimed.

Leone and Daedalus purposely kept her in the dark about the rewards, wanting to see her reaction.

Fortunately, Yuni didn’t fail their expectations.

"These guys will be the new mounts for our warriors." Leone flipped his hair. "I can summon ten more. But since I’m a very generous person, I will let you pick your own Raptor. Daedalus, if you please."

"Yes, Sir!" Daedalus flipped its pages, and showed Yuni the catalogue of the Uncommon Raptors that could be exchanged in the Arcane Shop.

She struggled to believe that the grimoire could even materialize monsters out of thin air. It was truly miraculous.

Just as the young lady read the information of different raptors, Ulric came inside the cave and almost took out his axe when he saw the monsters blocking his path.

Had he not vaguely remembered Leone and Daedalus talking about Raptors, he might have already attacked the monsters without a second thought.

A minute later, Ulric joined his daughter in checking the catalogue of Raptors. He also wanted one.

Although he already had Fury as a familiar, the Dire Bear wasn’t meant for long distance travels.

In the end, the father-daughter pair settled for the Blood-Crest War Raptor, which had a red skin with blue and black stripes on its body.

They were visually striking and would catch the attention of those who see them. Clearly, they were meant for VIPs who wanted to stand out from a group of Raptors.

"I guess that works too." Leone blinked before exchanging two tickets for the two raptors.

When the two Blood-Crest Raptors appeared, Yuni didn’t hesitate to reach out to pat its neck.

The fierce raptor narrowed its eyes, looking quite satisfied with its Master’s petting.

Ulric then headed to the barracks with Airon to call all the warriors of the Alborin Tribe.

They needed to come up with a cohesive excuse so the Riverfang Tribe wouldn’t find a fault with their stories.

Naturally, the warriors of the Alborin Tribe were ecstatic to receive monsters more powerful than them as mounts.

After a discussion with Ulric, Leone summoned one more Blood-Crest Raptor, which would be given to Chief Kael of the Riverfang Tribe as a gift.

He then summoned two Ironclaw War Raptors for Castor and Pollux since they would be promoted to Squad Captains.

An hour later, the pack of raptors descended from the mountain, causing a commotion in the barracks.

Their appearance took some time since Leone had to craft some saddles for them.

’Maybe they won against the Alborin Tribe because of these monsters,’ Kael thought as Ulric led his warriors inside the barracks.

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man couldn’t stop smiling. Ulric had gifted him a raptors with the same color as his a while ago.

This was probably the highest sign of respect he could receive as someone who had come to the Grimjaw Mountain to seek asylum.

High above the cliff, Leone looked down on the events playing out in the barracks with a smirk hidden behind his mask.

Frankly, he was tempted to buy more Raptors from the Arcane Shop, but the Uncommon Ones cost 500 BP each.

For now, he couldn’t afford this expenditure.

But once Kael became one of his vassals, the BP he would passively gain everyday would also increase. After all, the entirety of the Riverfang Tribe would then be counted as his subjects.

When the time came, perhaps he could purchase more raptors and reward the warriors who showed great merits for the benefit of his small kingdom.
