Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 - Hard Work

Third person POV

 Basilio was astonished at their diversion to satisfy their urges, and by that time, the Vamzoms are now done with their habit of satisfying their impulses and then cleaned up their mess, much to Basilio's surprise. "And we also learned to clean up our own mess after we were done with it," Helena responded back positively. With that, Basilio approached the scene, catching the attention of the cleaning Vamzoms. Their combat helicopters are on the ground as well. "Oh! Sir!" one of the Vamzoms responded back to him upon seeing his presence.

 "So, how's your training session?" Basilio asked back brightly.

 "It's fine, sir, we felt better every time after that."

Basilio then smiled. "I am happy to hear that."

The Vamzoms were happy to hear that, feeling being appreciated by their new, human-Otherworlder leader.

 After that, Basilio and his subordinates are having a lunch at the headquarters. Helena, alongside another Vamzom who was a cook, cooked the entire meal for lunch. The food consisted of roasted mutton, some vegetables, and whole wheat bread. Helena, a young woman with red, long hair and red blood eyes, looked at Basilio eating his food, being eager to hear his feedback on her cooking. "What do you think, sir?"

All Vamzoms are known and can be identified by their distinctive red eyes, which was red like human blood.

 "It's very good, so good actually…" Basilio said to her back while looking at her for a few moments, "…thanks for the food."

Helena and the cook were happy to hear that, and the others at the table were also happy, too.

Basilio poured some blood, that is, pig's blood, into his drink, mixed it, and drank it to satisfy his occasional thirst for blood.

 After lunch, Basilio and his subordinates continued their administrative work, doing more reforms and changes under Basilio's direction. Basilio also started to watch videos on systems, from how-tos in agriculture to the system of sectors, of the countries back on Earth. The videos his gadgets contained are all helpful and exclude all funny videos for most of the time. The only time to watch funny videos was at night for 1 hour per night. The watching time in his gadgets only had a daily time limit of 3 hours. This gives Basilio the time to focus on his time for his work as the leader, as well as time for other things off the screen. It seemed that the Isekai System had placed a watching time limit so him not to get addicted watching on his screen.

 One of his recent reforms was to introduce agriculture into their territory, proposing wheat, potatoes, and barley first before the other crops like tomatoes. This means trees surrounding the Blood Fortress had to be cut down to make way for farming fields. But the Vamzoms were willing to do so for food and to do something productive other than war stuff and fighting. And so, the program of making the farm fields began on Basilio's 6th day of his life as the leader of the Vamzoms. Once the trees had been cut down and the lands had been cleared, some of the Vamzoms started cultivating the soil and planted seeds on them. Basilio also commissioned an irrigation system to irrigate the crops. The water source was from a nearby river known as the Vertskhi River. The program lasted for a week, and it was full of hard work.

 The Vamzoms' Blood Fortress resembled a noble estate with a village for serfs and stone walls surrounding it. As for the main headquarters of this type of Vamzoms (there are 5 types of them in this world), it looked like a big, complex castle with elements of Gothic (French Gothic to be exact) and Renaissance architecture and had architecture parts similar to the mosque-church of Cordoba, Spain, with arches in a few castle functions and parts like the auditorium and dining halls. Arches identical to that of the said place from Spain were the architecture type for the main headquarters' main courtyard and main meeting hall, complete with a functional, white, Roman-concrete-made fountain at the center of the courtyard.

 And at the fortress's perimeters, a small village of Vamzoms made of brick and wood huts, scattered like a naturally developed settlement in a forest of trees and greenery. There are 3 gates, southeastern, southwestern, and northeastern.

 Now, Basilio had its walls moved by a few outsiders, who have the ability to move objects to expand the Blood Fortress' perimeters and for the project to be done. After that huge relocating and rearranging the walls, these wielders of moving magic had a few baskets of wheat, carrots, and potatoes as payment from Basilio for their help since Basilio's not-a-country-yet nation didn't have any money currency yet.

At this point, the Blood Fortress bartered as a form of currency and had no currency, even metal-based ones.
