"My lord, those foreign races have become very obedient after returning!"
"Additionally, all surviving members of the Spiny-Fur Gray Rat Clan and the Half-Orcs have been demoted to slaves. They have been assigned among the five tribes for supervised labor!"
Several days later, within Nalant's castle, Mario truthfully reported the reactions of the various foreign races after the Spiny-Fur Gray Rat Clan had been wiped out.
Although Nalant was not afraid of those foreign races causing trouble—with his current strength, there were truly few opponents left for him, whether on the Aio Continent or the Sacred Continent—
he still cautiously had Mario send people to investigate in secret, in case he was ever away from Storm City when such a situation arose again.
The report from the investigation naturally pleased him greatly.
With both kindness and authority brought to bear, these foreign races had all become exceptionally obedient.
"Very good. Then proceed according to the original plan and gradually assign labor to these foreign races."
"Besides that, the temples must also be built faster. Only once they become truly devout believers can they be completely trusted!"
Nalant nodded.
"Yes, my lord!" Mario accepted the order. After a pause, he continued, "My lord, Storm City's City Lord's Manor will soon be complete. Shall we place inside it the exquisite ornaments and furniture you brought back from the Aio Continent?"
"Yes, have them moved in. Oh, right—I heard that Steward Thomas is preparing to hold a grand celebration banquet once the City Lord's Manor has been furnished?" Nalant asked.
"Yes, my lord. Steward Mario said that the completion of the City Lord's Manor represents the true completion of Storm City."
"Therefore, a grand ceremonial evening must be held to proclaim your renown to the entire continent, my lord!"
Mario immediately confirmed it.
