Chapter 333: Prepare To Fight
Chapter 333: Prepare To Fight
After all the enchanters get the new modified rune, everyone begins to have a surprised expression and a lot of questions in their minds. However, the enchanter leaders forced them to work immediately before asking their inquiry.
In the end, all of them could only obey the leader and calm down their hearts. Modifying an established rune is not simple. But, erasing and applying the new rune will take more time. Therefore, Angus's modified rune formula saves a lot of time.
Still, they need to work hard to modify all the planted runes while filling the surrounding area with trap runes as soon as possible. Because of this, Angus needs to plant all the rune bombs by himself without the help of the other enchanters.
Not only the rune bomb is too complicated to be used by others, but Angus also didn't want this rune to spread to others easily. Unlike the other modified trap rune, Angus uses his rune language to draw the rune bomb.
Even an expert enchanter will have a hard time copying and fully solving Angus's rune language, much less any ordinary people or enchanter. After a whole day of working, Angus managed to plant and lay all his available bombs into the rune.
Then, Angus immediately went towards his room in the inner base to rest. His mind is quite exhausted after drawing the runes for an entire day. Fortunately, there is still no sign of a monster wave.
Based on the distance between the monster wave and the Black Fortress, the monster wave should arrive tomorrow or the day after.
Duke Jacob and Borkins couldn't send any scouts to keep observing the movement of monster waves since it is the same as sending them to their death.
Unless they have a powerful stealth ability or escape skill, they will surely die the moment they send a signal to the Black Fortress. Even if there is such a strong and capable scout, they will never stay stationed in the Black Fortress for a long time, especially in this period.
Therefore, everyone could only wait for the monster wave to arrive. The next day, a scout team inside the hunting spot noticed a movement through the magic item from far away.
After seeing a horde of monsters coming towards their location, "Leader, t-they are coming!!" said the scout.
Hearing this, the leader immediately uses his own magic item to detect the incoming monster and find a monster covering across the horizon coming towards them.
"Hurry, back to the Fortress!!" commanded the scout leader
At the same time, the leaders also give the signal to the Black Fortress through a communication device. He also imbues his bracelet with mana and changes it into a small bird before flying towards Black Fortress.
In the meantime, the Black Fortress communication squad immediately gets the signal from all scout teams that stay in the hunting ground.
"Immediately notify the duke and general Borkins!!" command the chief in charge.
Then, a soldier immediately runs towards the meeting hall where Jacob and Borkins reside. Just as the soldier arrived, "Sound the alarm!!" said Jacob shortly after looking at many small birds coming towards the inner base from the Forest direction.
"Prepare to Fight!!" shouted Borkins loudly.
Borkins shout was immediately heard by everyone all over the Black Fortress. A moment later, a loud alarm sounded across the Fortress. *Teng* *Teng* *Teng* *Teng* *Teng*
Hearing the alarm, all the enchanter and the forager in the outskirts of the forest immediately ran back towards the Fortress. None of them dare to stay any longer outside the wall. In a few minutes, everyone is already inside the wall, and their passage is already closed tightly.
At the same time, Jayna and Anna want to leave to exterminate the monster inside the hunting spot, stop on their spot and go towards the inner base to meet with Angus.
Before they go towards the inner base, Jayna and Anna feel Angus's presence arrive at the top of the Fortress wall. On the top of the wall, Angus closes his eyes and uses [Great Mana Echolocation] to detect the monster in the hunting ground.
While detecting all the monsters, Angus ignores the movement of everyone in the surrounding area. He keeps focusing on the monster movement in the hunting ground for a while. Like his previous thought, the hunting ground immediately filled with many kinds of monsters.
Many trap runes and hidden traps are already released and kill dozens of monsters. Yet, the low-grade monster keeps swarming up the area like a moth coming towards the fire. After a while, Angus opened his eyes and looked in Jacob's direction.
Seeing Angus stare, Jacob only gives him a silent nod as a sign. Then, Angus immediately flared up his mand and active all the planted Chain Bomb in the hunting area. *BOM* *BOM* *BOM*
A series of explosions were heard deep inside the forest. Then, a second later countess of explosion sound was heard all over the forest. *Bom* *Bom* *Bom* *Bom* *Bom* *Bom*
The explosion shockwave overlaps one with the other and creates a massive shockwave towards the surrounding. Even the airwaves managed to reach the Black Fortress wall. Looking at this, both the soldiers and adventurers could help but be surprised.
'What was that?!!' thought an adventurer
'Is that.. bomb!!' thought a soldier
'S-Such firepower!!' thought a soldier.
'With that kind of explosion, is there any need for us to fight?' thought of an adventure.
Even the explosion squad, who is familiar with explosions, also couldn't help but be surprised at the Chain Bomb firepower. Based on the initial explosion sound, they know that an explosion is happening quite far from them, yet the shock and airwave managed to reach their place.
This shows that the explosion is powerful and destructive. After the explosions calmed down, the forest returned to its calm. There is not even a roaring monster that people usually hear from the Forest.
'Did the explosion kill all of them?' thought everyone.
After a while, a loud, piercing scream was heard from the forest. *KYYAAKKKK* Along with this loud piercing scream, various kinds of monsters howl heard throughout the forest. Not long after that, everyone could see some movement through the forest.
Many of the Black tall trees fall down from the monster's reckless charge. All the monster seems to enter an enraged state and charge towards the massive Black Fortress.
Seeing the incoming monster wave, "Ready the Magic Canon!!" command Borkins.
Dozens of magic cannons begin to buzz and are ready to release their might towards the incoming monster. Soon, a few of the fast-movement monsters arrive at the forest outskirts and continue charging towards the Fortress wall.
"Fire!! Shoot the cannon!!" shouted Borkins.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* the magic cannon fires and bombard the incoming monster. Still, more monsters are coming from the forest without stopping.
At the same time, "Artillery, ready!!" command Fosa.
Hearing Fosa's command, every archer, magician, and long-range attacker immediately prepared their best attack. In the meantime, some of the fast monsters that managed to avoid the magic cannon bombardment immediately trigger the trap runes.
With the help of Angus's modified trap rune, they could withstand the explosion and might of the magic cannon. Therefore, they could still work effectively even while being bombarded by magic cannons.
Despite the endless wave of the incoming monster, of them could still reach the tall wall. At the same time, the number of dead monsters increases inside the rune trap area. However, the monster horde slowly pushes and shortens the distance towards the wall.
More than half of the rune traps have already been triggered.
"Release!! Fire with all your might!!" shouted Fosa towards the surrounding.
Hearing the Fosa signal, everyone immediately releases their long-range attack towards the incoming monster. Normally, monsters with high physical strength and speed could easily avoid these attacks in frontal combat.
However, as all these attacks are released at once, they will attack something like a massive death wave that harvests the monster's life even if the agile monster couldn't escape from this simultaneous attack.
Dozens of monsters instantly died under the barrage of attack. At this moment, another piercing sound was heard from the forest. *KYYAAKKKK* Then, countless giant spiders come out from the forest towards the Fortress Wall.
These spiders move very fast and finally trigger all rune traps before arriving at the Fortress Wall. Seeing this, Anne, Explosion Squad leader, immediately commands her subordinate.
"Ready to fire!!" command Anne.
After a while, "Release!!" shouted Anne.
The Explosion squad immediately shoots various kinds of fire-based spells towards the incoming spiders.
After each spell hit the target, "Explode them!!" shouted Anne.
"HA!!" shouted all the explosion squad while flaring up massive mana.
Along with their shout, all their previous fire-based spells exploded and covered the entire battlefield in front of the wall. Seeing this kind of power, even Jacob couldn't help but be impressed at the explosion skill.
He didn't think the explosion skill would be this destructive when used together and overlapped with each other. This kind of attack scale is similar to fifth or sixth circle spells.
While everyone witnessed the strength of the explosion squad, another piercing howl was heard from the forest outskirts. *KYYAAKKKK*
