Chapter 844 844 Brilliant Idea

"Are the alarms difficult to make?" Wolfe asked.

"No, we can make them in a few hours, the problem would be that we need to get them everywhere." The Fae replied.

"In that case, it's not a problem. We are about to change the whole nature of trade within the Territories. We just need to remove a few bad actors first. The real issue will be the stationing of troops with rapid movement capability. None of us exactly have a standing army, or at least we don't anymore.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

My people can supply the gear and helicopters, but we need a way to train the soldiers to respond as a team." Wolfe explained.

"Just hire the demons. If you give wrath demon mercenaries helicopters and machine guns, I bet that they will do it for less than half price." The Advisor laughed.

Wolfe thought back to the last time that he had given wrath demons machine guns and thought that charging half price might be their version of trying to drive a hard bargain. They loved the machine guns in a way that was slightly concerning.

"Alright. The costs will have to be sorted out later, but I can have the people of Forest Grove work on a plan to get mercenaries in place for rapid response to attacks until we have an actual army of our own. It won't be cheap to have them stationed in enough places that it makes a difference to response times, but there should be something that we can do.

I have met the Queen of the Wrath Demon nation within the Demon Realms, and she seemed rather agreeable, so I will contact her later to arrange something." Wolfe agreed.

The list of things to do just kept getting longer, and this one would make it even more extreme. The problem was, that they could appear anywhere. Not just in the territories under his command, but anywhere in the world.

"It's a strange feeling, knowing that I've forgotten something, like a whole morning, but having someone standing here that proves I forgot something important during that time. If you weren't here, most of us would have never known that anything at all happened here. It would have been just a glitch in our memory when we checked the time and date."

Wolfe smiled. "That's actually a good point. Checking the time and date against what is automatically updated from the cell phone towers is a brilliant idea. The time inside the spell is reset to the start. But if it's not a full twenty-four-hour period, as this one was not, then the time in the outside world will be hours from what everyone expects it to be.

So, comparing an analog clock against an auto-updating one should tell you if something like this happens in the future, but without the residents managing to get out an emergency call."

The town's protector made a note of the idea, but there was already a grandfather clock on the wall, so there was no need to take any action.

"Thankfully, everyone appears to be alright, and they didn't breach the armoury. I'm not certain why I didn't have my memory reset as well, but it might have been because the attack ended before they managed to breach my barriers.

My memory is fine, but those without strong magic all had their days reset.

I will look into barrier spells that defend more effectively against time magic, but I don't even know if those exist. Time magic is positively broken, and only a few types of barriers would hold against it, the ones that have an immutable aspect that is outside the flow of time."

Wolfe gave him a curious look, and the Fae continued. "Well, most things are affected by time, right? Earth, air, fire, water, nature. The passage of time changes them all in various ways. But time doesn't change gravity, and it has a limited effect on the soul, so unholy magic has some effect against it. Time also doesn't have an effect on space that I know of, so the two work well together.

You know, that might be part of the reason that my memories aren't as effected. I am a little over a thousand years old. They are humans. Perhaps the difference in the amount of time that I have lived gives me a bit of stability in time that isn't as affected by the spell."

Wolfe smiled back. "I would say it is possible. Magic is mostly down to interpretation and the will of the caster. How many humans really appreciate how long a thousand years is when you're living it?"
