Chapter 544: Moving to the Third Base
In the second base, the battle has started. Maybe because the wall covered a wide area, they thought of marching through with their artificial master level earth mages destroying the wall. But the mages on our side tried to regenerate the Earth Wall whenever it’s destroyed.
Still, even though I have captured over sixty children, they are still more than a thousand enemies. We can barely regenerate the wall for one hour. Which is already amazing since we only have ten advanced earth mages here to do that. I guess that’s show how important magic control is.
Other than those earth mages, the rest are monsters. Werewolves, vampires, and angels.
These forty monsters, with me, Shelia, and Arin, run toward the children to capture them again. Since I have done it three times before, the enemies have experienced it and it was difficult to capture a lot of children. But one hour of defense mean I can use the Noise Bomb three times.
First is when they arrive, second is thirty minutes later, and third is one hour after I first used. That’s three times.
Though in those three times, I barely captured thirty of them even with the help of the monsters. They have became better in protecting themselves. The children I mean. After all, the adults don’t care about them, and they don’t know what makes the children dizzy.
After protecting the base for one hour, I transported the earth mages to the third base. As for me and the rest of the monsters, we’d like to delay them for a little bit longer. And if possible, I’d like to capture more children.
.....
In the first base, we managed to stop them with just the three of us because the enemies are confused. They don’t know what we were doing and the children just disappear.
But now, it’s different. They just don’t care about us trying to stop them. They want to continue their march without a single care. And even though we have more people with us, or monsters, these artificial master level mages just continued their march while only those we attacked stopped for a while before fighting back or continuing their march.
Because of that, we couldn’t hold them back for much longer. So, I opened a portal to the Noise Prison in Varadis and captured some more children while the monsters protecting me. With this, we have reduced the children to half. I mean the number. Not their size. It’s sad if those small children end up getting smaller. Who knows if the experiment have side effects to their growth?
After capturing the children, I tried to kill more of them. But when we almost got ourselves surrounded, I told everyone to retreat. And everyone moved to somewhere safe. Except Shelia who is still enjoying the battle. Well, she’s my summon, so I can just summon her later.
I opened a portal and transport us all to the third base. After a while, I summoned Shelia who got badly injured in the span of few seconds before I summoned her.
“What the hell happened!?” I asked Shelia while one of the angels hurriedly come over and healed Shelia. Even if she has regeneration magic, her wounds were so bad that her regeneration works slowly.
“I got careless,” Shelia replied calmly.
“Sigh... Like I told you before, this is not where we will go all out against them. There will be a better chance to go all out. If you’re like this again, I’ll transport you along with everyone using portal instead of summoning you. Got it?”
“...I understand. Sorry,” Shelia said.
Not only I’m her master, I’m also recognized as the werewolf king by her. That’s why I know she won’t do anything to betray me.
And she’s also one of my women. I don’t want her to do anything rash.
After informing the people at the second base of what happened in the first and second base, I took another rest. This time, we have a roof over our head. And on the Blobbybed, Shelia jumped in before I even touched the bed. Well, I don’t mind. She seems to be more tired than me.
The next battle will probably last from dawn until sunrise. We have enough time for rest.
This time, I didn’t tell anyone to wake me up. There are many werewolves, and the enemy won’t suddenly attack when someone noticed them. Something I learned in the previous two experiences. So, just having the werewolves watching guard should be fine. And we have more people in this base as well.
If possible, I’d like to capture all the children in the fight in this base. That way, we can go all out in the fourth and fifth base. And I hope there won’t be other artificial master level children coming from other location.
Although Marie had the other Noise Bomb, I’m still the only one who can transport the children to the Noise Prison in Varadis. As for the others, they can only stop the children for a while.
And if the children are the perfect creation of the Professor which won’t die after they spend all their mana, the others can just waste the children’s mana as much as possible to stop them. In that time, it should be enough for me to go there with portal, and transport the children to Varadis before returning to my battlefield.
I slept quite well this time as well. The I looked around to see those who fight in the second base were still sleeping. It’s best to let them rest until the enemies arrive.
But they are still human, right? Won’t they need rest, food, and drink?
Well, the fake village got destroyed. And they have no helpers anymore. Which mean, they can only follow order. Which is to kill the kings. And no matter how tired they were, they will still continue marching.
Well, I hope that’s the case. That way, winning will be easier. Though I doubt that’s the case.
There should be water mages among them. And when I looked with my Divine Vision, although none of them seem to brought any food to eat, they can easily kill a monster they found on the way and eat. But that will make their march slowed down considerably.
Having five base is a good idea. With this, it’s difficult for them to find any place to rest since we put the bases in good locations. Thanks to Sara and Celestine. They are at the fourth base right now.
As for those in the third base, we have Jewel, Veronica, and Carmen. Once we finished our job here, I will bring them to the fifth base while I go to the fourth.
Hmm... I guess if we’re doing our job well, there won’t be any battle in the capital. Though I don’t know about those mohawks attacking from another place.
Well, I won’t care about them. And I won’t ask Sonia either. It was too troublesome after all.
I’m already busy with the battle here. I don’t want to think of another battle before this one is over.
Now, about this battle. We killed a few amount of adult artificial master level mages, but the half of the children have been captured. That’s something at least.
And if they continuously march with a little rest, their mana should have been spent. Even just a little bit is fine. The construction of the wall proves to be a great idea after all.
But a thousand of them is a lot. And we don’t know if all of them will attack base or just some of them.
What we can do is just to fight. Killing them and capturing the children.
Though I wonder how the children are doing in Varadis? With Russell alone and a hundred children already there. Is he doing okay? And the children, they have to listen to that disturbing ringing sound the whole time they are staying in that prison. There won’t be any side effects, right?
Let’s just hope for the best. I don’t want to think that everyone’s effort goes to waste.
“If you’re thinking about the children in Varadis, they should be okay. Varadis is a kingdom where the medical aspect advanced the most, right? And you have taught them a lot including about using air magic to put patients to sleep. There are a lot of air mages who got a job to learn about your magic and they will put the children to sleep. And the children will be restrained and they will wear the Magic Restricting Collars as well. It should be fine,” Victoria said after I asked her about it.
Right, I don’t have to do everything on my own. I have a lot of friends and allies.
As we chatted for a bit more, the werewolves returned with a report about the sighting of a large group of people. Though rather than sighting, it should be smelling, right?
“Well, here we go again. Let’s keep doing our best, shall we?”
