Chapter 169: Immediate Results

The people of Bay Town had mixed feelings about the introduction of the golems.

However, soon enough, their constant work left little room for other thoughts, and they became more focused on their jobs.

Many even felt reassured by the attention of their lord, which gave them a sense of security.

After all, when these towering figures stood along the riverbanks and at the edges of farmland, the feeling of protection was overwhelming.

What they didn't know was that, aside from a few key clay golems, the rest were essentially for show.

Matthew couldn't afford the maintenance and upkeep of so many clay golems, so he resorted to some clever tricks.

After all, the real combat force for the territory wasn't these clay golems!

The morale of the people settled, ensuring work efficiency. The feedback from the data naturally pleased Steward Ralph.

In the Camp of the Dark Forest.

The camp was usually patrolled by soldiers.

After over a month of training, these soldiers were nothing like before.

With the addition of nutritious food and magical supplements, they had all become professionals, each learning at least one specialization.

They had absorbed valuable combat experience, and their demeanor now carried a sense of strength.

But even with such progress.

There were still troublemakers stirring things up!

Motivated by various reasons, these individuals caused disruptions in the Dark Forest area under Bay Territory's control.

In certain resource collection areas.

They would sabotage and steal from resource sites.

Some went even further, attacking other adventurers and robbing them of their belongings.

Afterward, they would complete another simple task or report failure, pretending nothing had happened.

Some adventurers thought direct action was too risky.

Instead, they spread rumors during discussions, maliciously questioning and criticizing Bay Territory's policies.

Although these troublemakers were few in number, the damage they caused was significant.

After all, while making money was important, so was staying alive!

Over the past couple of weeks.

Leon had been tempted to intervene but held back.

After all, destruction is much easier than construction.

If Leon's guard units suffered losses.

The hard-won Troll Valley camp might be destroyed.

The ever-watchful trolls certainly wouldn't let Bay Territory have a second chance to rebuild.

Until now!

Several Rock Golems had been transported over.

Leon positioned them at the camp gates by evening.

With Rock Golems complementing elite soldiers, the camp's defenses grew significantly stronger, and so did Leon's control.

More importantly, the modified Rock Golems took over the tasks of verifying missions and monitoring adventurers.

The clever Leon waited until the adventurers returned to camp unsuspectingly after their misdeeds before subjecting them to "Detect Lies."
