Chapter 341: WALL (1/2)
In the cases where a large army is dispatched, being approached till the outer walls is unavoidable.
That’s what Patrick Rembrandt said in his first hot spring experience.
Makoto who is the owner and was together with him there heard this as well, but there was a terrifying difference in what those two were imagining.
The people gathered by the main leaders of the Rembrandt Company, mostly mages that are adventurers and carpenters from Tsige and the surrounding settlements, were grouped up in a plain.
The location is somewhere that can be reached in two days from Tsige.
If you look at the back, on the left side, you would be able to see the Golden Highway that extends from the left all the way to the right.
“When coming to the actual place, it makes the craziness of that merchant more prominent.”
The one who muttered this was the man that supervises the worker unit and is a member of the mercenary group, Picnic Rose Garden (PRG), called frequently as Big Bro.
“Don’t just suddenly call that frightening client crazy from the very beginning.”
The vice-captain Yamato, who is in that same worker unit, reprimands his superior.
The one nodding by his side is Shibaf whose nickname is fist mage which is apparently still classified as a mage.
The three of them are executive members of PRG and have high combat ability as well as high leadership.
They may be in the worker unit, but Big Bro and Yamato are also essential members that fight at the very frontlines.
“I simply said merchant, so the fact that you pinpoint it as the frightening client already makes you as guilty as me.”
“…I simply advised you to not say that at the very beginning. I completely agree that he is totally crazy.” (Yamato)
Shibaf once again nods repeatedly at the side of Yamato.
“In that plan, the ones who will be moving first are us, Daiku-san, and the mages that were recruited. That damn Nomad, saying that it is interesting and getting onto it as well, and then beginning to boil down an unreasonable plan…”
The complaints of Big Bro were endless.
But it couldn’t be helped.
This is what the Merchant Guild of Tsige said: “We want you to make an outer wall for the new Tsige from the left and right as if they were spreading wings at the outer walls of the Golden Highway”.
The members of PRG heard this from their strategist and were wondering what in the world they were talking about, but after hearing the details of the plan and the time period, they all held their heads in pain.
Gather a few hundreds of craftsmen and mages, and make walls in a short period of time.
If Makoto were to hear this, he would have retorted ‘a one night castle?!’.
This one would be impossible to make in one night though.
Three payments with no breaks. The stamina recovery potions are obviously the special kind that are made from materials of the wasteland and also recover magic power. They will even provide catalyst stones that will take over the magic power expenditure of the mage. Also, the estimated numbers were so unbelievable even for the battle seasoned PRG that they had to do a double take.
In Tsige it is apparently not that big of a number, and there were even talks about adding extra funds, which made the people who were participating in the briefing sigh for many reasons.
And then, Yamato, Shibaf, and Big Bro, who prayed to the heavens to not be chosen, were chosen to basically be the ones in charge of the south area.
“Moreover, that unbelievable combat engineer, Nakase, told us to copy that magic architecture stuff. Yeah, it is shocking stuff, but our worker unit can do something similar, right? We can, right, Big Bro? Or maybe he is using this chance to show off?!”
“We have known each other for long, so he knows how to handle us.”
“If he says it like that, there’s no way we can say that we can’t do it! I can understand the basic manufacturing process, and seeing the ability of the mages and carpenters who can actually use that technique, there’s no way I would just quit! That’s the kind of mood that was there!”
“How many times do I have to tell you not to challenge Nomad in those kinds of moments…”
Shibaf nods repeatedly.
Shibaf may look like he is in this place obediently, but even he felt like crying when they were told to make a wall that can endure the war and will reach all the way to the Golden Highway that can be seen at the horizon.
“Big Bro-dono! The material division is arriving successively! Go ahead and give us your orders!”
“No need for the -dono, just call me Big Bro. The monsters here are apparently not that big of a deal, but I will entrust the chicklings to you guys. We will have our hands full with the outer wall from now on, got that?!”
“I will protect everyone aside from the idiots who can’t even say ‘help me’. Compared to the other side of Tsige, this place is heaven.”
“Yeah, I realized that too. Tch, well then, let’s begin! Yamato!”
“All members, listen closely!!”
It is a mixed group of mages and craftsmen, but the words of Yamato made everyone’s back straighten, and look at Big Bro.
They are an impromptu group, but they have finished their introductions, and their morale is high. Also, they are all thoroughly aware of what they have to do and the process of it.
What they should do to function as a unit was already done.
“I will make this clear first! This is a plan that was thought of by what could be an idiot or a genius! In my experience, once these kinds of plans succeed, they succeed big!! That’s why don’t think too deeply about it! We only gotta do one thing! We will make a sturdy wall that won’t lose to that outrageous video of the dwarves that we used as reference! We will make sure! To make it! All the way over there! Let’s GOOOOOOOO!!!”
““YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH””
All the way over there.
