Chapter 843 843 How To Say This
Elders from the villages began to file into the room while the call was transferred within the Fortress City, waiting to thank Wolfe for his assistance with the invaders, and find out what he knew about the matter.
Once everyone was gathered, and the phone at the other end had been put on speaker for the whole office to hear, Wolfe placed his end on speakerphone and began the explanation.
"Ladies of the Coven, thank you for assembling so promptly. The problem here was an unconventional one. The invading army was the same one that we faced at Forest Grove, led by the reincarnation of the Emperor of All He Sees.
However, the spell that they cast to enter our world was not a portal spell. It was a dungeon spell, a piece of time and space magic that puts a location into a time loop. The Fae Protector of this place recognized it and got the call-out before it had fully formed, but the spell isn't intended to allow troops into our world.
Once they have fought here and eliminated all the villagers, they would have been forced back to their world, and time would have reset, returning all the people and any lost goods to their original state.
Now, some of you might be thinking that is an important improvement, and in a way, it is.
However, they can take back things they found in our world. Our technologies, our spells, our magical items."
The gasps from both rooms caused Wolfe to pause for a moment as the witches began to understand the implications of what he was saying.
"That's right. The enemy is using us to train and to equip themselves for the next time that they attack us.
What I don't know yet is how the spell was targeted. They might not have intended to have brought their dungeon spell to our world. Certainly, the Emperor was not happy to see me after I killed him last time, and he immediately fled.
So, we can use it to train our people as well.
You know that most of our soldiers aren't soldiers in that sense, they are monster control teams with minimal combat experience against human armies. If we are going to keep facing invasions by these annoying ones, then it makes sense to use them just the way the invaders are, to train our soldiers.
But there is one important factor that they have forgotten. You are supposed to use a barrier around the spell to keep it from being contaminated by outside forces, like wandering Magi, and Special Forces paratroopers.
They have not, or you wouldn't be able to just fly in and mess with them. If they haven't put a barrier in place, that means we could likely shoot artillery through the portal into their world. Living things won't be able to pass through, but there is a chance that an artillery shell might, as long as it didn't start inside the area of effect."
Wolfe heard laughter on the other end of the call, while the Elders around him looked horrified at the thought of artillery just showing up through a portal.
"Alright, we will keep that in mind for our reactions. But if we're not going to have long to react to these events, not more than half a minute, we need some sort of emergency broadcast system. We can't be waiting on a radio operator to figure out what is going on and then relay a long verbal message, we need something that can just send it as soon as the one in charge panics." Wolfe explained.
The village's protector looked intrigued, but it was the Advisor at Reiko's end who answered first.
"A dead man switch, of sorts? A big red button that automatically sends an emergency alert if it senses the spell. Or that the Village Leaders can press in case of emergency to call an army unit to their location."
Wolfe nodded, forgetting that they couldn't see him. "Yes, that sounds like just the thing. Can you make that with Witch or Fae magic? If we put one in every village, and spread some trained soldiers around the territory for faster reaction times, it would be perfect."
The village protector nodded. "I can make that, and the one at the Fortress likely can as well, now that she knows what to look for. But giving them to every village will take a while."Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
