63 Episode 62 Domination and Mt. Bota

The first thing I was asked to do after going to the guild and being informed of the details of the mission was to pack a large amount of building materials into an item box.

The first thing I was asked to do was to fill the item box with a large amount of building materials, but not materials for building a full-scale wall.

It was more of a barricade than a wall.

Until it is safe enough for craftsmen to enter, full-scale construction is not possible, so there is no need for building materials for that purpose.

In addition, the building materials for the exterior walls are currently in the process of being processed, so there is no way to transport them.

However, this does not reduce the amount of luggage, but rather the opposite.

What should work as a wall with a solid structure is covered to some extent by mass and volume alone.

The amount of building materials needed for this is tremendous.

Excuse me, I'm here to pick up some building materials from the guild.

I know what you're talking about, here's the building material. 　...... But are you sure you want to carry all this by yourself?　It's more of a mountain than a building material.

The man pointed to a pile of rocks that was nothing more than building material.

It was about twenty meters high, and the radius of its base was several times that.

He said that it was a waste rock from the old days when coal was mined in this area.

Yes, it is. 　...... But this looks like it would be harder to store than to transport itself.

Is that how it works?

That's how it is. 　Please move back so we can start storing it. 　There's a chance it might collapse.

Since this place is a little far from the city and I have confirmed that there is no one around except the man who is guiding me, I just confirm that the guide has left and start storing quickly.

I put the item box to full use and walk straight to the center of the mountain.

Recently, I found out that if you pay attention to the item box, you can store things within a small radius of about 50cm from you.

Using this, you don't have to climb the mountain, but rather, you can store and cut down the mountain from the edge and head for the center of the mountain.

It's like digging a tunnel through a pile of rocks without any support.

Naturally, the mountain collapses with a roar, and debris falls on my head, but just in case, I deploy my magic armor and stow it away.

When I arrived at the other side, the pile of rubble had turned into two smaller piles, bordering the place I had passed.

As I returned to the starting point, cutting down the larger of the two piles in the same way, I saw the guide in the distance with his mouth hanging open.

I felt bad about keeping him waiting, so I approached him and spoke to him.

He said, "It's going to take some time, so you can go back to the city.

"Oh ......, no, I can see some unusual things. 　I'll just keep looking until I get bored.

"I see. 　Okay.

Everything seems to be fine, so I go back to work.

The collapses, which had been flashy at first, became more and more subdued as they became lower and lower, until finally I could walk past them and only a few rocks would fall.

I ran around the site again with my magic and finished the work.

Incidentally, I tried to put my hand on the ground once during the process, but the ground could not be stored.

Considering the extent to which the ground would be stored, I was glad that it was not.

It wouldn't be funny if the city was stored the moment I used the item box.

After that, I stored the other pile of rubble in the item box, and finally, I received a large amount of food from the guild's warehouse and left Fotolen.

The mission itself would begin in Desibatore.

When I arrived at Desibatore, there were already more than a hundred adventurers gathered in front of the guild.

About two-thirds of them were carrying large shovels on their backs, used for digging holes.

This is the number of elite adventurers who have been chosen for their ability to fight on the front lines in the battle for Brokens.

After the construction of the temporary camp, more than ten times the number of adventurers will participate in the full-scale construction of the castle, along with craftsmen, to complete it at once, so the final number will be even higher.

"Oh, Kaede, you're here. 　Did you get the building materials and food?

I landed on the ground and was greeted by the mayor.

"Yes. I've got it. 　And tons of food.

The food prepared this time was mainly dried meat and buckwheat flour.

They were stored in cloth bags weighing about five kilograms and were placed directly in the item box.

It would have been nice if there had been some solid food, but there wasn't much that could be eaten quickly on the battlefield.

There was about 50 kilograms of bread, but it was hard and not very tasty.

If there is enough room, I am thinking of serving some food that I brought personally.

All right, all right. 　When you arrive, leave about a ton of buckwheat flour on the ground.

Yeah, I don't mind, but ...... why?

"I don't think a maple that can kill a wyvern solo is going to be easy to kill, but just in case, you know. 　You want to have enough food for your own retreat, but you don't want to slow down your march. 　That's what I'm saying.

"I understand. 　Well, I'm not going to die.

Speaking of not dying, there's that drug.

A new medicine was developed the other day, do you want to use it in the guild?　I've already gotten permission from the Medicine Man's Guild to use it here.

I've never heard of it. What kind of medicine is it?

HP to ...... No. 　It's the kind of potion that would revive a dying adventurer in a heartbeat. 　In fact, I used it on a former adventurer who was dying of an illness, and it seems to have restored his strength to his prime.

I said as I handed him a bottle of the potion.

I handed him a bottle of the potion and said, "It's actually an improved version of the potion.

"This container belongs to ......, the Apothecary's Guild, I believe. 　"This container is definitely from the Apothecary Guild. It says 'Super Super Strength Recovery Potion Revision'.

"What? 　...... Maybe so. 　I didn't know the drug had a name.

I think the naming could have been a little better.

The word "super" and "super" overlap, and it's the first drug to be commercialized.

Did the researcher come up with the name in the heat of an all-nighter?

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who can't get enough of this stuff.　I'd be grateful if I could use it, but I'm afraid the government might complain if I used it without permission.

The mayor asks, looking at the cap of the container.

The limit is the same as the HP recovery amount.

I wonder if there is a way to identify the cap.

I wonder if there is a way to tell if the cap is diluted or not. 　This is a new drug made entirely from the current ingredients. 　There are many of them, so use them all you can. 　If you want to advertise it, you can do so for free.

I'm curious about what happened to the Chemists Guild, but I'll take it with a grain of salt. 　...... By the way, why did Kaede make that?　I'm not sure what to make of it.　No matter how insane it is, ......

I'll take that as a yes. 　I'm not the one who made this potion. 　I just brought it from the apothecary's guild out of the goodness of my heart to protect the city (and also to get some test subjects and results).

Also, I only provided one type of material, but that's a minor thing.

Well, the Apothecary's Guild is a big deal, isn't it? 　I'll distribute these to the adventurers who join us.

With that, the mayor began to hand out the medicines.

After the medicines have been distributed, the mayor begins to finalize the plan and begins to march.

In short, we gather and charge in, slaying demons as we go. I build a wall a little farther back at the Brokens site, and a moat a little farther back as a line of defense, ready for the building crew (as we call the adventurers and artisans who can't participate in the assault).

I will be in charge of scouting from about 100 meters above the adventurers advancing.

I'm planning to burn them with fire magic if the need arises, but I've been told not to waste it, so I'll stick to scouting for now.

I watch the adventurers from above, but as I expected, they are elite and are not afraid to charge into a place full of demons.

Their movements seem to be uneven, but in fact they are moving at distances appropriate for their weapons.

The wizard, who was originally the main rearguard, was not following due to his endurance and marching speed, and only the archer was left in charge of the rearguard, though he seemed to be a little biased toward the front.

The adventurers continued on their way, covering the nearly 60 kilometers in less than two hours, and began to sweep away the demons in the area.

From here, I descended to the ground and went around destroying demons in a radius of several kilometers.

Once the cleanup is complete, it's time to build.

"Control complete!　Hold the line of defense!　...... Kaede, take care of the wall.

The person giving the orders seems to be an A-rank adventurer.

I don't see any particular difference in ability between him and the others, but I wonder if it's a matter of leadership.

Understood!

The leader instructs me, and I begin to set up a wall in Brokens, slightly closer to the demon territory than the narrowest point.

I set up a simple barricade by crunching down rubble as I fly.

No matter how narrow it is, it is still about a kilometer long, so the height of the wall will not be very high, maybe two meters at most.

However, it is not enough, but it is useful.

We don't expect a temporary camp to function perfectly from the start, which is why the adventurers are the only elite until the moat is built.

"The wall is complete!

Copy that!　All retreat to the back of the wall. Groups A and B, start building the moat. Group C, defend!

The adventurers were divided into three groups of equal strength, with one group without shovels on their backs defending the wall and the rear of the unit, while the rest took up positions about 100 meters behind the wall and began digging the moat.

This digging is scheduled to continue for a week without a break, and is the most important part of this operation.

I'm not a member of any group, so I'm free to go except in case of emergency.

I'm not a member of any group, so I'm free to do what I want except in case of emergency. ...... I wonder if I can use magic to dig this hole?
