Chapter 151 New Place New Beginning
The white mist began to thin out as the sun rose higher and higher. But the cold air and the snow that started to fall from the sky made the white mist's pace slow down. It was as if the white mist hesitated to hide and his courage to challenge the sun was starting to slowly emerge.
There was a chance that when the snow filled the ground then the white mist would really not be afraid of the sun anymore. Even though it might not be at this time, the sun still shines strongly and dispels the white mist bravely.
Bog Forest is a strange forest. The climate is tropical but in its deepest parts (especially those adjacent to Wolf Slope Mountain) has a snowy climate with four seasons following it. But even the deepest part is divided into two regions that have two distinct seasons, one part has winter and the other part has spring.
This oddity makes some cultures make Wolf Slope Mountain their worship. One of the biggest ones was the Mountain Dwarf race which thought that mana came from Wolf Slope Mountain.
A caravan of monsters arrived at the border between the two winter and spring regions. All the monsters looked at this with eyes full of amazement. In front of them was a border that was like the boundary of two different worlds. Where one part of the land is filled with snow while the other part of the land is filled with green grass and trees that thrive.
If they didn't have a strong belief in The One then their hearts could be shaken and they would immediately kneel at this miracle before their eyes. No one knows for sure why this is happening even Moku who uses his inner eye to analyze only finds out if the two regions have different mana auras.
Even though they were full of amazement, it didn't stop the monster caravan's pace. They had started walking since the sun had not yet risen until now when the sun had started to rise overhead.
They couldn't wait to arrive at the place the search team had found. Based on the report of the search team the place was very beautiful and filled with rivers and caves that they could make as a source of life and a new home.
The place was originally the residence of a golden tier danger mutated animal and several silver tier danger mutated animals around it. But after Moku exterminated them all, the place became uninhabited and became the perfect location to build their monster kingdom.
The search team named the place Bitter Maja because there were many Maja trees with very bitter fruit. When he heard the name given by the search team, Moku couldn't help but smile bitterly and pray that he would not be cursed by his ancestors for using such a majestic name.
But when they were only three kilometers from Bitter Maja, sad news broke the whole caravan. Shaman Hoddurt breathed his last in his carriage before being able to see their new abode or the first Hobgoblin.
Moku decides not to stop the caravan and asks the goblins to clean Hoddurt's body. He wanted Hoddurt buried in Bitter Maja so that even if Hoddurt couldn't see his dreams come true while he was alive he could at least keep an eye on their progress when he died.
Moku's request was greatly supported by the other goblins. They also added a request that Hoddurt is buried underground where the Cream Division would later train. That way Hoddurt could stay close to the goblins who worked hard to make their dreams come true.
Moku not only granted the request, he also decided to change the name of the Cream Division to the Hoddurt Division. That way the monsters will never forget the sacrifice of the shaman in the battle against the mage.
They accelerated the movement of the caravan because they wanted to get to Bitter Maja immediately and bury Hoddurt where he would be remembered.
When the sky was starting to turn red they finally arrived at the place said by the search team, Bitter Maja.
They saw a green carpet stretching as far as the eye could see. Shady trees with Maja fruit perched on their branches fulfill their appearance. The clear river water with fish swimming cheerfully in it makes the air feel cooler. Coupled with the light breeze hitting their faces made the monsters want to stretch out the carpet and have a picnic on this paradise floor.
From a distance, they saw a waterfall that was not too high lowering gallons of water every second. Every drop of water made a rustling sound that was compounded by the chirping of birds and the screech of insects. Complimenting their hearing with the sound of nature's tones that form a beautiful symphony welcoming the arrival of the monsters.
The sun was starting to fall asleep making the sky look gloomy with its reddish face. Making the atmosphere displayed in their eyes as a beautiful painting full of miracles and the power of God. They wanted to get down on their knees and praise The One for making this a beautiful world for them to enjoy.
Nezena did not forget to hum prayerfully to The One by saying "If you want proof of my power then look at the nature around you, then you will realize how strong I am. So kneel down and strengthen yourself so you don't tarnish my name as the all-powerful one"
It is unknown where she got the inspiration for the hum but her words made all the monsters unable to contain themselves any longer and knelt down praising the power of their god.
Moku stood in his carriage and took a deep breath of the cool air. His closed eyes showed how solemn his heart was at that moment. When he opened his eyes there was only a streak of red light full of greed.
It was from this place that he would build an invincible kingdom of monsters. Become a nightmare for anyone who opposes them and a source of confidence for anyone who believes in them.
Moku decided the name of their kingdom... Wilwatikta... an empire that once ruled the archipelago.
-----------
Although they were filled with amazement at Bitter Maja, the monsters didn't linger in that regard. Because they are currently filled with passion to build their home. The first kingdom built by monsters in history, the Wilwatikta Kingdom.
The number of monsters that were less than 5000 heads made them have to plan the construction of the kingdom carefully. They have to build something more important first so they can save time and labor.
To that end, the higher-ups of the monsters gathered to discuss their development priorities. Like what should be built first, where it will be built, how it will be built, and who will be in charge of building it.
The meeting was attended by, Moku and his three wives (Nevare, Nezena, Nerphyl), three heads of the orc division (Boku, Goku, and Mige), two high-ranking goblins (Tam and Volx), and two high-ranking alraune (Luna and Ornell). Inside the temporary tent built by the goblins by combining several chariots and making dozens of spliced fabrics as the roof.
At first, Moku wanted to talk about development first but when he discussed this with Ez, Moku changed his mind. Ez thinks that the first thing Moku should form first is a division of labor, so that Moku can command his desires more effectively and the leadership hierarchy becomes clearer.
Moku realized that at this time he had not made a solid government system. Therefore, after discussing it with Ez for a long time, Moku announced his decision of the new division.
"Praise and gratitude we give to The One who has given us grace so that we can gather in this place. Praise and gratitude we give to The One for creating a paradise where we can fight to our heart's content. Praise and gratitude we give to The One who has allowed us to fight with the strong enemies." as usual Moku started with three praise to The One.
"Before I start our meeting this time, I want to call some people to join us and listen. Joc please call them in." Moku turned to Joc who was standing in front of the tent door and ordered him.
Several monsters entered the tent with bewildered faces they didn't know why they were summoned to participate in this high-ranking meeting. But because this was an order from Moku, they came without much question even though their heads were currently filled with many questions.
They are the work of Ez who has been watching, assessing, and testing several monsters to see if they are worthy of a chance to become an official in the Wilwatikta Kingdom. Some of them were monsters recommended by Moku but many of them were monsters that pass due to Ez's own judgment.
One of them is Swa. He never thought that Moku would call him to take part in this meeting. Even Moku himself had to ask Ez once again about including Swa in the government of the Wilwatikta Kingdom because he never knew his brother's uses other than making jokes or fighting.
After the new group of monsters had taken their seats, Moku continued his speech. "I divide the governmental power of Wilwatikta Kingdom into three administrations; Military, Civil, and Religion"
