The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 835 - 517: The Snow Has Stopped

Rumble.

As the ground shook, a large amount of mud and stone began to extend toward the already constructed castle walls under the mage's control.

The other mages began to control the temperature, or adjust the shape of the walls.

Soon, a section of the wall was completed.

"Again?"

A Night Watcher stood atop a completed watchtower, drew his bow and shot an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

With the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, a mouse in the distance was pierced directly and pinned to the ground.

The death of the mouse finally dispelled the green light in the Night Watcher's eyes. He muttered, "Have the mice been more active recently?"

With the construction of a section of the wall completed, a mage climbed up and took out a strangely constructed weapon from his Space Waist Bag.

It looked like a slender rod, but with a wooden handle and metal structures intertwined.

Most importantly, intricate demon patterns could be seen etched on it.

The mage held this weapon in his hands, closed one eye, and carefully aimed.

"Thud!"

With a low, muffled sound, this peculiar weapon seemed to have fired some strange attack. The recoil even caused the mage's hands to lift slightly.

A blue light instantly pierced through the air.

Hundreds of meters away, a mouse observing the defense line hadn't even had time to react before its head exploded.

"Wow! What kind of weapon is this? Or is it something only mages can use?"

The Night Watcher, who had been on the watchtower, was now beside the mage without knowing when.

The mage himself seemed a bit surprised by the weapon's effect.

Hearing the inquiry, he said, "To be honest, I'm not quite sure either; I just know how to aim and use it."

"Isn't this thing made by you?" the Ranger Night Watcher asked curiously.

Because of secondary professions, almost every Night Watcher had an auxiliary skill.

Mages generally only choose two: [Carving] and [Pharmaceuticals].

Creating such a weapon wasn't surprising.

The mage shook his head, "Although I'm a member of the [Alchemy Laboratory], I mostly do some auxiliary work, nothing technical."

This is a current experimental prototype, with a concept provided by the leader; he calls it a firearm."

"Firearm? Strange name." The Ranger couldn't quite grasp the meaning behind the name.

But he was clearly very interested in the weapon.

"Interested? You can take it and use it, but remember while using it, write down your thoughts and suggestions for improvement.

We need all these, and it is said that once this weapon is mass-produced, it will be given priority to long-range attack units."

"Really? That's great!" The Ranger joyfully took the weapon, caressing it lovingly.

The mage didn't mind.

The [Alchemy Laboratory] was always creating various bizarre weapons or equipment, ninety percent of which would eventually become discarded and stored as simple data archives.

Of course, there are useful ones, but they are rare. From his point of view, the weapon has quite a few usage restrictions.

It requires the consumption of Magic Power, has a complex main structure, needs excellent maintenance conditions, and even has specific environmental requirements for use.

It might become a special weapon, but widespread battlefield use is a long way off.

The leader places great hopes on it.

Thinking of this, the mage suddenly noticed the environmental change, looking up at the sky.

"The wind and snow... have stopped."

...

"The time for a counterattack has arrived; it's time to let those foolish, arrogant beings taste our might!"

A mouse shouted loudly.

Below him were masses of mice, most of which seemed somewhat malnourished.

The cold, harsh winter was hard to endure, and now they could wreak havoc outside again, to continue their unfulfilled dominance.

Back at the Night Watchers' side.

Kana stood on the balcony and already felt the cessation of the wind and snow. Since the snow had stopped, the mice would soon start their rampage once more.

"Have the other members of the Order Covenant taken action?" Kana asked.

Beside him, Lurilu nodded: "They have already moved, the trained new recruits have been sent to the frontline.

The initial skirmishes are expected to be low-intensity, perfect for these new soldiers to get practice and see some blood. Supply lines and frontline defense facilities have all been established.

Securing the area we've enclosed in the winter shouldn't be too much of an issue, though subsequent rescue efforts may face some obstacles."

Hearing this, Kana nodded. These were all expected and not surprising.

"Has the Night Watchers' action begun?"

"It has started. According to the latest report, they should soon reach the place you mentioned, and then establish a large Teleportation Array there."

At this point, Miguel West, who had been somewhat silent, couldn't help but ask curiously: "So what are we building there? Why spend so much material setting up a large Teleportation Array point there?"

Currently, there is only one place known to have such a large Teleportation Array, which is the Night Watchers' headquarters.

And now Lebia Continent will have such a structure, and it's somewhat distant from the defensive circle.

Although there aren't many mice over there.

Kana looked at the map.

Sure enough, enlarging the map, they could see where they were previously drawn into the region within the time river Illusion Realm, and many Night Watchers were already active there.

Indeed, the previous setup was for here, located in a remote area, and dangerous before the mice acted.

A concentration of Magic Power too high or too low is not good.

A high concentration leads to easy proliferation of various Nature Elements and evil.

Thus, there aren't many intelligent creature settlements in that area, only some former large powers had built various laboratories and Magic Towers there.

Over time, these have all disappeared within the time river, leaving only various ruins and their residual dangers.

The existence of the Stone of Creation made these uniquely endowed Magic Node gathering areas always accompanied by high risk over time.

"It's a very important structure that can greatly enhance the Night Watchers' strength, at least to the point where they're not stuck at levels five or six."

"?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Have you seen any force with an average level of five or six?
