The time spent on Earth was much shorter than Ye Chen had expected. The recruitment process, which was originally planned to take a month, only took a little over a week, even after spending almost a week playing in between.
Of course, this is also related to Ye Chen's recruitment needs. He does not need to recruit a large number of awakened individuals to consolidate the high-end combat power and ruling talents in his territory. He only needs to find relevant professional talents. He does not need to travel to various awakened individual colleges like other lords.
For him, developing his own clan is the most reliable thing. It's hard to gain absolute trust from other awakened beings, and it takes a long time to get to know them.
The newly recruited Awakened Ones seem to be quite nice, but to be absolutely trustworthy, we'll have to wait until they emerge from the Time Rift, and it will take at least thirty years to build up a basic level of trust.
When they returned to Blue Star, there were only two of them, and three including Tao Ping. Now, when they went to the territory again, it was a large group of people. Including Ye Chen and the other five Awakened Ones, as well as their parents, there were nearly twenty people in total, and they headed to the embassy in a grand procession.
However, it turned out that their number was relatively small; there were queues of several hundred people, which meant that the lord had recruited at least several hundred Awakened Ones.
Ding Siyin and her parents were both very excited and nervous. Although they had long expected this day to come, they did not expect it to come so soon. They were also filled with anticipation and trepidation about life in the territory in the future.
While Ye Chen was processing the entry and exit procedures, the development of the territory was also proceeding vigorously under the command of Ye Xi and others.
Within a week, with the help of many mountain gods and dwarves, the city of the Aini people had begun to take shape.
Although there are no tall city walls yet, simple sheds have been erected, and all the people have a place to live.
"Your Highness, all the people now have places to live, and we can begin the next phase of construction!" Mike reported to Cecilia, the prince of the Aini.
For Ye Chen, bringing Cecilia here was an absolutely correct decision. As expected, he successfully led the entire Aini tribe and, together with Archmage Lynn and Dawn Envoy Betty, pacified the entire tribe and united them into a cohesive force, rebuilding their homeland on this new land.
"Very good! How are the other tribes doing?" Cecilia, a prince, was also carrying bricks on the construction site, wearing a helmet and looking like a foreman, without any princely dignity.
“Except for the Ruga tribe who live along the coast, the other tribes have basically completed their construction!” Mike said.
There were eight races that migrated to the Primordial Star with the Aini. In addition to the largest group, the Aini, there were humans, minotaurs, fox people, orcs, vampires, werewolves, dwarves, and the Ruga. The former all lived on the ground, either in the jungle or in the deep mountains, but the Ruga were the only ones.
This is a coastal race, characterized by their tall and brave physique, straightforward and trustworthy nature, and strong sense of loyalty and righteousness; however, their numbers are small.
The Luga race that initially stayed in Allen City was not large, consisting of only a caravan of about a dozen people. Later, they happened to encounter Ye Xi and his group, and returned to the Primordial Star with them. Now, however, how to ensure the survival of this race's population has become a major problem.
They spent a considerable amount of time traveling to the coastal areas to build their tribes, and have only just arrived at the coastal region and found a suitable place to establish their tribes. Therefore, their settlements have not yet been truly established.
"Yes! I'll report the situation of the Luga tribe to Lord Ye Ling later. As for our side, there's no rush to build the city wall. After all, according to Lord Ye Ling, there won't be any war here in the short term. We should focus on improving the living conditions of the people as soon as possible, and then establish a guard team to maintain order in the city!" As a member of the royal family, Cecilia was very clear about matters of national administration.
Unlike other tribes, the Aini are few in number. With tens of thousands of Aini here, chaos is inevitable. If a guard force is not formed and order is not established as soon as possible, the Aini will soon fall into internal strife.
"Okay!" Upon hearing the other person's words, Mike's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded in agreement, and then turned and left.
“Mike is untrustworthy, it’s better not to entrust everything to him!” Lynn appeared beside Cecilia at some point and said, looking at Mike’s back.
“I know, thank you for reminding me, Senior Lynn. I will be careful!” Cecilia turned around and smiled at Lynn.
During this evacuation from the Primordial Star, Mike was arguably the one who contributed the most. He originally thought that he would become the ruler of the entire Aini people after arriving on the Primordial Star, but unexpectedly, another prince, Cecilia, came along. It was inevitable that he would feel resentful and dissatisfied.
Cecilia's identity could still intimidate people in the Ani's empire back then, but now that she has arrived on the Primordial Star, everyone is starting from the same point, and everyone is thinking about a major reshuffle so that they can become the king of the Ani. Naturally, many people will be dissatisfied, and Cecilia has encountered more than one or two assassination attempts in this week.
If it weren't for the presence of a thousand royal guards and the support of Archmage Lynn, he would probably be out of power by now, or have to seek Ye Ling's protection.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had already issued orders on the first day of their arrival: competition was allowed, but infighting was prohibited, and no one was allowed to die. Therefore, no one dared to openly rebel over this matter and could only tentatively seek out assassins to carry out the assassination.
However, Cecilia knew that this situation would not last long. As the time for Ye Chen's return to his territory drew closer, some impatient people would inevitably make their move sooner or later. As a prince who had not yet ascended the throne, he also needed such an internal strife to establish his authority and truly and completely control the entire Aini tribe.
“You know that’s good. The Aini can’t withstand any more turmoil!” Lynn said. Although he was a human, there weren’t many humans on the Primordial Star, and his territory hadn’t moved too far. It was right next to the Aini, within easy reach.
Therefore, after the construction arrangements on the human side were completed, Lynn would occasionally go to other races to discuss the subsequent development plans with their leaders. After all, he was the strongest in the other world, and his existence not only helped the human race develop, but was also the faith of all the alien races who came to the Primordial Star from the other world.
