World System Among Gods novel Chapter 14

One month had passed after Ares rebuilt the Babylon village and made it the equivalent of a Small town. Within a month, the village had indeed become a small town. Many villages not part of the Kingdom or the Empire merged into one and worked hand in hand to develop the city of Babylon.

Of the hundreds, there are currently more than five thousand inhabitants of the city of Babylon. The security of Babylon city is also getting more assertive with the joining of hundreds of talented young men and women to the ranks of the city's security soldiers. The city's weakest security soldiers are at level 200, equivalent to a Kingdom's warrior level.

In addition to ordinary soldiers, special division troops guard the city against attacks by wild beasts or monsters. Erick and his four companions, whose strength had reached level five hundred, are appointed to the five notable division commanders. There are forty special division members, meaning each commander has eight members.

The city's security as a whole is still handled by the soldiers giving the system. Ares himself had raised two of the city's Generals. She is appointed General who leads the soldiers in the fort and is in charge of guarding the city. While Ashur is appointed general of the front line, the existence of a particular division is under his guidance.

Within a month, Ares had also raised his level hundreds of times. His level rose so fast because he was very active in hunting. Now Ares’s level has touched 900, but he can beat an opponent with a group of 1,500 very quickly.

In the morning, after cleaning himself up and changing into clean clothes, Ares prepares to leave the city of Babylon. He will visit the town closest to Babylon city. In the east, there is a city directly adjacent to his territory.

Ares will cover a distance of almost a thousand kilometres in half a day because Ares is travelling by riding Dorgan. For Dorson, Ares has purposely left him in the city to help keep the city safe.

The whereabouts of Ares' two dark dragons are known to all the subordinates and the inhabitants of the city of Babylon. A leader with a dragon as his mount made the townspeople admire him even more.

As soon as he left the city of Babylon, Ares was still staring at his city from a distance. As for Dorgan, he happily escorted his master to his destination.

Along the way, several beasts with the ability to fly occasionally hindered Ares’ journey, but they immediately step aside as soon as they sense a dark aura emanating from Dorgan’s body. Now and then, there are wild beasts that fly and dare to attack him, but Dorgan easily defeats every time a wild beast comes to attack.

After travelling for half a day, Ares finally saw the city he was headed for. Gaeta City was a large city ruled by Duke Alan, the weakest Duke serving the Roman Glarus Emperor Seventh Emperor of the Glarus Empire.

Ares told Dorgan to come down 5 kilometres from the fort of the Gaeta city; when it was ripe, Dorgan immediately entered Ares' shadow and watched his master from the shadows.

“Master, don't you want to summon other subordinates? You still have two chances to summon subordinates, and you haven't used all of them yet."

The notification from the system made Ares remember his two occasions summoning two new subordinates. "I want to summon him, but can I ask two subordinates skilled in magic?"

Ares is well aware of his strengths and weaknesses. Be it Hera or Ashur, they are skilful fighters in their field and could also teach others. They are also capable of magic but are not as skilled as people with a magician profession.

"It all depends on your luck, sir. If you're lucky, the master might get a sorcerer or even a teacher."

"My luck is quite good in this world. There's nothing wrong with me entrusting everything to my luck," Ares said in his heart.

“Do you want to summon two subordinates at once, or will you summon one after another?”

"For now, I only want to summon one subordinate. I want to keep a low profile when entering Gaeta city. Bringing too many followers will draw people's attention to me," Ares said through his mind.

“They are very much like humans,” Ares said in his mind.

“The fairy race is no different from humans. But they will change when they are angry. It is said that the fairy race is as strong as the Gods.”

"Then I can't make her angry. Moreover, I'm still fragile compared to her." Ares looked at Halen and told her to get up.

“Master, Halen is a Hero-level mage. With her strength, at least she has entered the ranks of the top 10 strongest mages in the entire mainland that you walk on.”

Ares is pleased to see Halen’s abilities. She even slightly cheered, "I was fortunate."

"Halen, you can call me Ares. In the future, I hope you can help me with that."

"I can’t because you are my master. It is not appropriate for me to call your name directly. I will continue to call you master, and it is not necessary for the future whenever I will be ready to help you," Halen said respectfully.

"Well, it’s up to you." Ares isn’t comfortable with the master's call, but he can’t change the call.

"Master, you are amazing. You can summon subordinates at will, and I can feel that this woman is much stronger than me," Dorgan said in his heart.
