Episode 146 Goooooh.
One corner of the nameless mountain ridge north of McLane fell off entirely, turning into a giant golem.
thud. thud.
The sight of an enormous golem, perhaps 30 meters tall, walking down the field leaving deep footprints was powerful enough to overwhelm everyone who watched.
The golem, which walked so powerfully, collapsed as soon as it arrived at a specific location.
Rumble.
“Well, if you just give it fifteen more, you’ll have enough dirt and stones to build a castle. Cheer up, wizard.”
“Heh. Heh heh.”
Clayton laughed as if he had lost his mind at the dwarf’s snickering about whether or not he should come to his waist.
Because I was already hearing the same story for the umpteenth time.
According to his common sense, the mountain of dirt and stones in front of him would be enough to build a castle, but he couldn’t ignore the experts’ words.
As if to show his amplified power by obtaining the best artifact, Clayton pulled out and moved an entire mountain ridge in one day.
Numerous people literally started running towards the mountain of dirt and stones.
“Master, let’s say you obtained an artifact, why do we…”
“They say it’s a priceless treasure.”
“So why us?”
“…Well, you said you would settle here for us, but somehow it feels like you are having more trouble than before.”
“Sahyung! Don’t you do your work?! If you keep doing this, everything will be reported to Master!!”
Grig and Enan, who were grumbling hard, jumped up and looked behind them at the sharp voice in the back of their heads.
“Leah?!”
“Uh, when did you come? My Lia. Ah. Haha.”
Among them who have been together since the days of the Earth Magic Tower, Victoria is the only one who has become a new teacher’s disciple since coming to this territory.
The little girl was monopolizing the loveliness of not only her teacher but also all of her siblings with her cuteness and genius.
“I’ve been watching you since a while ago! I really…”
Even the way she opens her eyes and puts her hands on her waist looks so adorable.
However, the threat he made by mentioning his teacher with such a cute appearance was enough to scare them, and Grig and Enan broke into a cold sweat and pointed to the front at the same time, without worrying about who went first.
“Ha, I’m doing it! Look! Look! My golem!”
“Me too! I’m working faster than anyone else!”
Their expressions were full of resentment.
That’s because the Greek Golem, who had now entered the 4th circle, was shoveling with a massive body that was well over 5m tall, and Enan’s golem, which had recently grown to the 3rd circle, was also continuously scooping up dirt with its huge body, which was close to 3m tall.
Even while chatting, the golems were moving automatically, showing their appearance as Clayton’s chief and second disciples.
In fact, they knew full well that it would be a big problem for them if McLane failed, so there was no way they would just sit around complaining.
But unfortunately, that excuse didn’t work for Victoria.
“Why don’t you use any other magic?! The other executioners are having a hard time!”
“That’s it. I guess it’s been a while since we’ve risen to the level…”
“It’s hard to control the golem…”
I try to make excuses that aren’t really excuses.
“Then what about me?!”
Behind this genius Sammae, who was making a threatening expression, a golem ‘Set’, nearly 2 meters tall, was continuously moving with a shovel.
Their monster, Samae, who had experienced the battlefield a few times and had grown again while working here on construction, was showing off his amazing ability of commanding three golems with only 2 circles of mana.
‘Well, I used golem magic even in the 1st circle. It’s normal if you can’t use it in the first place.’
‘It’s been so long since they’ve grown up that they’re already so free…’
It was a frustrating and stuffy situation for them, but they couldn’t show themselves to be weak.
No, I didn’t want to be seen.
‘There is a sense of death penalty.’
‘I do it too. sun!’
Gritting their teeth, they forgot their complaints from earlier and raised their mana with all their might.
and.
“Earth Wall!”
“Solid Ground!”
The mana they squeezed caused the soil on the ground to rise significantly and immediately hardened.
A wonderful joint magic that only the brothers and sisters who have been together for a long time can show.
And their golems, powered by 10% of the master mana and 90% of the magic gemstone, continued to dig the ground, compact the soil, and shape the castle walls and stairs.
‘Ugh. Death penalty. I almost got screwed….’
‘Me too. ‘I can’t breathe.’
The eyes that communicated even without words were full of pain.
“How about it?”
“Ooh, that’s how much we are!”
The face looking back at the young sister was filled with smiles.
I felt sorry for him showing off even though his face was dripping with cold sweat.
“Look, I can do it!”
Victoria just stuck out her thumb and floated the executioners.
“Can we keep doing this? How much can we do? Once an hour? Once every two hours?”
“Then you can do it!”
“If we put our minds to it, we can use it even once in 30 minutes.”
What man?
A cold-hearted Greek glared at Enan as if he were going to kill him.
Enan, who received that gaze, turned blue with an awkward smile and showed off a new talent of crying with his eyes.
And as if to prove their ominous premonition.
“Yes. That’s how I’ll report it to Master!”
Victoria, with a lively face, turned around and Greek grabbed Enan by the collar and started shaking him.
“There are things you can say and things you can’t say…”
“Sir, death penalty. That’s nonsense for me too… Oh! I’m saying you were wrong! Death sentence is rolling around…”
Enan death sentence can be heard vaguely from behind. While hearing the screams, Victoria expressed a sincere apology in her heart.
‘I’m sorry, death penalty.’
But Victoria couldn’t help it either.
– I hope others are inspired by your talent.
– It was only recently that I realized that the more we use our magic and the more we challenge its limits, the more it grows. So you…
there was such a request from your teacher, but even if it wasn’t necessarily that.
‘Faster! It needs to be completed more robustly. Only then will the territory survive.’
Now she had to save McLane, the hometown of herself and her brother.
That earnest heart was enough to break the limitations and take the magic to the next level.
To Victoria, the way Saturn was slowly taking shape still seemed too slow.
so.
“Truth’s execution. What are you doing there!”
“Li Ria! Oh no. I was just tired for a moment.”
We have no choice but to squeeze out the death penalty.
Looking at Truth in confusion, Lia sighed deeply.
‘Because Master is busy.’
There was no time to submit a useless report to the teacher, who was absorbed in his work while raising a blue staff from afar and wielding enormous mana to control 20 3m tall golems at the same time.
‘Truth’s execution is a 2nd circle master. Earth Wall once an hour….’
Victoria visited the executioners periodically, measuring their thresholds and memorizing them.
Each time, the shadows under the eyes of the Golem Tower executioners became darker and darker, but in proportion to that, Saturn rapidly gained height.
* * * Due to the nature of McLane Castle, which was built to defend against monsters in the southern mountains, its location was biased towards the south.
The wind blew between the northern mountains and McLane Castle. In other words, the width of the field that can be accessed into McLane Town was well over 10km.
It is wide enough to ignore McLane Castle and advance into the town.
In the middle of the fields east of the new McLane Plain.
Eleven wizards, over 10,000 men, and a huge budget invested in a short period of time created a miracle in just one week.
“You did it!”
“We did it!”
“I can’t believe this is possible!”
Wow!
A field filled with cheers.
It was no different from the shout of a triumphant army that had won a difficult war.
And in fact, they achieved the almost impossible.
A castle of such grand scale that no one could believe that it was built in just a week was located in the middle of the field.
Amid the cheers, Clayton was reporting the results to Logan with a tired smile on his face.
“As there are no internal facilities in a circular wall with a uniform diameter of 5km, the thickness of the wall was increased to 50m as much as possible, the teeth of the wall were raised high, and three levels of holes were made on each floor. “We built a pedestal and stairs so that soldiers could target enemies outside the castle through the holes in the ledge leading to the third floor.”
Logan nodded. It was a castle wall built strictly for the purpose.
“Just like during the Tomodo Water Fortress Battle, we trimmed the outer walls as much as possible to remove any protruding parts and hardened them with magically treated oil to prevent them from burning, making it difficult for knights to easily jump over them.”
Heor himself gave instructions, but this was worse than expected…
“The moat on the outside was also made the same way as before. The waterway of the dam was partially twisted. Also, gates were made on all sides, but they could not be opened unless magic was used from the inside. And we made it stronger than an ordinary gate.”
Logan’s mouth opened wider as he listened to the explanation.
“The design and construction was done by Lord Hamar and the dwarves of the workshop. The work was done with the voluntary cooperation of me, my students, and the vigilantes who will fight here.”
“Huh…”
“What don’t you like?”
“That can’t be right. I’m just surprised that it’s so much bigger than I thought.”
At Logan’s admiration, Clayton, with a haggard face, breathed a sigh of relief.
It was worth all the hard work and not being able to sleep well at night.
“We built a fortress bigger than McLane Castle in just a week. There’s no need to doubt its durability, right?”
“We used all the magic stones supplied to us and used magic. The walls will definitely not collapse in at least three months.”
“It’s great. It’s great. It cost a lot of money, but if I had known it would end up like this, I would have made it a little bigger and stronger… Yes, I know this is the best. Don’t look at it that way. It’s a joke.”
Anything more than this cannot be beaten to death.
The message conveyed through eyes was safely accepted.
“Both will arrive within a week anyway.”
If you had enough time, did you really plan on doing it again?
Clayton desperately resisted the urge to scream and asked the realistic question at hand.
“But can you really stop it, or win? It’s actually half of the kingdom’s troops.”
“it’s possible. “Because we have weapons that they don’t have.”
Those weapons and materials were already piled up inside Saturn. An
overwhelming number of repeating crossbows and Liberatio, a bomb with unprecedented cost-effectiveness.
Those two weapons were enough to warrant such confidence. But
.
“What will you do if the enemy repeatedly advances and retreats outside the range and wastes supplies?”
“Yes?”
“The moment the magazines and liberatio are depleted, most of our troops are actually 20,000 ordinary people. ”
Clayton asked Logan about the identity of the anxiety circulating among the vassals.
It was a reasonable question.
The enemy may do so from the beginning or only after experiencing bitterness once or twice before starting to take action, but there is a good chance that it will come true someday. Big.
‘Because they won’t think of stepping on us at any cost.’
Logan’s answer to that valid question was simple:
“Oh. Of course, we have to end the war before that.”
Do you mean to build a castle and send vigilantes charging at the enemies? Then we’ll all die!!
Clayton’s mouth is itching.
“Please hold on for now. If you just hold on, I will start the war. I’ll finish it.”
Now, almost a year has passed.
It’s a story I heard on the fierce Tomodo battlefield.
That’s why it was such an unsettling thing to say.
Gulp.
“There must be a really sure way this time, right?”
“…Of course. ”
Why was that momentary gap so unsettling?
But Clayton didn’t ask any more questions.
No, he couldn’t.
He was worried that if he couldn’t understand the answer he was forced to ask, even the fighting spirit in his heart would disappear.
And the moment I thought of that thought, I burst out laughing.
‘I guess I’ve already become a Macline person.’
I wondered when it would have changed like this, but when I thought about it, it was natural.
The treasure of the Magic Tower of Wind held in my hand, an artifact with the name of the Staff of Atlan engraved on it.
The monstrous genius disciples I obtained here.
The disciples began to grow one after another after constantly challenging impossible limits.
In order not to give up everything, I had to stick to McLane.
‘This is my home now.’
He didn’t know it, but he clenched his fists as he remembered the same thought that his youngest disciple had had here just a few days ago.
And only a few days from then,
the McLane territory was greeted by a huge army.
