There were nine planetary fortresses. That structure was inspired by the nine walls surrounding the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s capital. The Holy Dragon Kingdom’s capital had never been attacked by natural calamities or conflicts because of those walls. Compared to the planetary fortresses Watson was constructing, the so-called high walls were nothing.
“It would be impossible to breach the defenses of those nine planetary fortresses without starlight-tier attacks! It’s like I have imprisoned the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Those on the outside can’t enter it, and those on the inside can’t leave without my permission.”
Watson put the Book of Wisdom and the Limitless Compass away, enjoying his work. He had always hoped to use the system to merge the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom. There were no restrictions in the past due to the massive mountain.
“The unification of the planetary fortresses is just the first stage. The Holy Dragon Kingdom’s territory will be merged after this. But I can’t do it too quickly. I must expose some information to the kingdom’s residents for them to be able to adapt to the kingdom’s circumstances.”
Watson considered ways to integrate and modify the kingdom. He had always wished for his family and friends to have a good life. It was a fantastic idea to begin by altering the environment where everyone lived.
He had already built the Mount Creation, the Dragon Star, and the Dragon Palace. Then, he built the planetary fortresses. What would the Holy Dragon Kingdom look like if he combined all of those starlight-tier buildings? He was excited about it.
During his thought, a group of people commanded by Fawkes extended their fighting aura wings or used wind element magic to soar in the planetary fortress, which had been fused from the fortress city.
Everyone in the room was taken aback by the nine planetary fortresses and the nine vast planetary belts that surrounded them.
“This is incredible. I can’t believe how decrepit the fortress city has become. By the way, can it still be called a city when it has deteriorated to that extent?”

“It is not just the fortress city. His Highness has also built eight identical cities as well as a massive light shield. Those light shields are invisible and cover an unknown area. That is the defensive system His Highness devised to combat the elves. I am curious how it works. You should be extremely familiar with that, Lord Fawkes. Please tell us about it.”
“How did those massive starlight barriers appear, Lord Fawkes? And how did His Highness design those planet-like cities? They can move on their own. Please tell us.”
They all turned their gazes to Fawkes while they were exclaiming in surprise. Fawkes had just informed them that Watson intended to remodel the fortress cities to strengthen their defensive capabilities to avoid being breached by the elves. He had also advised them not to be alarmed.
They were mentally prepared for it, but when they saw what Watson had made, they could not help but be surprised. Even the exquisite mansions inside were enough to take them by surprise. They had never heard of or seen such a city before. They would not even dare to live in it if they did not ask.
“Don’t ask me; I’m not sure either! His Highness just mentioned the city names to me. You can ask His Highness about the purpose of the planetary fortress and how it was built.”
Fawkes’ expression was sour. All folks came up to him and asked him how he knew Watson did it. His heart was filled with astonishment and doubt as well.
Watson had just stated that he intended to devise a defensive strategy to prevent the elves from attacking. He assumed Watson would not be able to complete the task. Reality had slapped him on the face. The elves would not be able to break through the massive starlight barrier, let alone the planetary fortresses.
It was not only the elves; no one in that world would be able to breach such a fortress.
“Everyone, pay attention to me. All the planetary fortresses have a starlight-tier defense. In other words, as long as one is not a god, there is no way to overcome its defenses! Those planetary fortresses should be numbered from one to nine. The planetary castles you all will dwell in are the No. 1 planetary fortress, buried deep within the planet. You have the option of living there in peace.”
Watson cleared his voice and utilized his combat aura to widen the sound as he heard conversations from all directions.
Aside from the No. 1 planetary fortress, Watson had no intention of allowing anyone to dwell in the remaining eight planetary fortresses. Perhaps he would deploy some soldiers to function as monitors, keeping an eye out for intruders. That would assure the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s safety.
“They can endure the gods’ attacks. Is that right?” After hearing Watson’s words, one official displayed an expression of astonishment.
The gods had ruled over humans in that realm. The gods were almighty in the eyes of the common people, and the fortresses could even survive the gods’ attacks. It was difficult for them to envision what form of attack could breach those defenses.
“The golden river can assist us in our quest for achieving gold-tier. We can even get a power that exceeds our current level if we believe in him. It does not seem impossible for those defensive barriers to survive gods’ attacks,” someone else said.
They might not have believed it if it had been spoken by someone else in front of them, but it was Watson who had said it. His influence in the fortress city has already surpassed human strength in the last two days. He could, after all, raise the dead. Many people in the fortress city believed Watson was a reincarnation of a god, which was why he possessed such extraordinary abilities.
How could they not believe the words of a reincarnated god?
“Thank you very much, Your Highness. You’ve assisted us in repelling the elven army and increasing our strength. You have built a formidable defense for the fortress city. We are at a loss for words to express our gratitude.”
While many people were astonished, they enthusiastically conveyed their gratitude to Watson.
“Everyone, do not stand on ceremony. Building those nine planetary fortresses is just the beginning of my efforts to improve the fortress city! It is not enough to simply have a strong defense. To be safe, I must assist everyone in increasing their strength. Even if the elves manage to breach the barrier, they will not be a threat to you. Let us get started right away before the elves attack.”
Watson smiled as he looked at the crowd.
“Will our strength continue to grow?”
After hearing Watson’s statements, everyone in the room was taken aback. Many of them had been regular folks just a day before, but they had gained platinum-tier strength in just one day. Watson’s powers did not appear to be limited to that.
“Of course, your existing abilities are insufficient in the face of a true elite. I can make you tens of times stronger than you are today. The only requirement is that you work with me.”
“Rest assured, Your Highness, that we shall be here for you.”
“Whatever you do, we will undoubtedly cooperate! We shall do whatever you want us to do from now on.”
Many people from the original fortress city exchanged glances. Everyone knelt in front of Watson.
Many of them used to regard Watson as a hero.. Then, they regarded him as a god.
