"That kid's pretty capable. He's amassed such a fortune in just a few years. We'd better help him protect Kurd City."
After returning to camp, the Hobarton Family's knights gathered to discuss matters.
Kurd City had a solid foundation. What it lacked now was Transcendent power.
They would protect Kurd City and Medivh, making sure the city didn't fall and Medivh wasn't assassinated.
If things took a turn for the worse, they would take Medivh out of the Odyssey Region.
As long as he was alive, anything was possible. It wasn't as if they couldn't give him a territory in the Other Plane to manage.
Medivh's skeletons were the best laborers. Even if Kurd City were destroyed, given some time, he could build a new one.
While they were discussing this, Medivh returned to the Underground Warehouse beneath Tower No. 1 to continue refining Resurrected Skeletons.
Personal strength was the foundation. He wanted to advance to Second-Rank Advanced Mage as soon as possible so he could resurrect top-grade Purple Bone Skeletons.
Top-grade Purple Bone Skeletons were born at the peak of the Second Rank. It was easy for them to break through on their own and advance to Third-Rank Bone Spirits. Then Kurd City's Transcendent ceiling would rise to the Third Rank.
A well-coordinated group of Third-Rank Bone Spirits would have no trouble dealing with Fourth-Rank Transcendents, and the Mage Tower network would make their defenses even stronger.
While Medivh resurrected skeletons, the Earth-type Skeleton Mage led a team in building the city walls and expanding Kurd City's urban area.
Medivh needed to expand Kurd City as soon as possible, extending it north to the Wan River and east to the Hengduan Mountains.
That way, the Wan River would serve as a natural defense to the north, with mountain barriers
