Lord of the Truth

Chapter 421 City

"Of course, Your Excellency, the Hard Metal Array for the City Walls and the Energy Protection Dome Array for the sky above the city, everyone here participated in the construction of the Imperial City in one way or another, even if one of us forgets something, the rest will definitely remember!" One of the two replied, he was about half Robin's height and was quite plump, his huge mustache clearly visible even from behind his golden helmet, this was the leader of the Divine Blacksmiths division, a member of Nihari Dwarves race.

"Listen very carefully then, because whether or not we survive will depend on you… Before the appearance of the elite forces of the humanoid white creatures we were on our way to the top of the hill, but due to obvious circumstances, we are now stopped at about a quarter of the way." Robin spoke and then pointed toward the top of the hill, "This hill that Alexander chose is characterized by a somehow narrow path to the top and a steep cliff at its end. It is indeed an excellent location for ground battles, and although we were not able to ascend completely, we now hold the neck of the hill after the White flames dome has been widened, to be precise… no ground enemies will come from that side anymore."

The two of them nodded repeatedly like chickens eating grain, just before the battalion was surrounded on all sides even as they were on their way up, but after Robin ordered the expansion of the white flames dome, this caused all the humanoid white creatures on both sides of the narrow road to be turned to ashes

After those at the sides died and the road up was closed, now the white flames dome was facing ground assaults from only two sides, those who are still coming from what looked like endless body streams from down the hill, and those who were trapped up the hill...

And although there were still many humanoid white creatures are still attacking crazily up the hill, tens of thousands of them, whoever dies leaves his place empty, If one died then there is one less~

Alexander and the rest of the sages engaging the enemy forces up there also noticed this and intensified the attacks on them. Before a few more minutes would pass all the humanoid white creatures who were locked up on the top of the hill will also be exterminated, and this means...

Rubin pointed toward the direction of the white flame dome of greatest pressure, toward the bottom of the hill, and spoke, "Now it is safe to say that we will only be facing the ground attack from that side, I think you understand what I'm getting at now?"

The leader of the Divine Blacksmiths Corps furrowed his brows furiously upon hearing this, of course, he understood, but isn't it easier said than done?

A while ago Robin had asked them about the imperial city's arrays and now he was telling them about the direction the ground attacks would come from, if he didn't mean that he wanted to build a wall similar to that in the imperial city, what else could he mean?

The Energy Protection Dome Array focuses heavily on dealing with the scattered flying targets, blocking their attacks and possibly striking back if it was strong enough, but it does not have the power to prevent ground hordes from passing through it, only the wall can stop them...

But how can they build a huge wall in such circumstances?!

Robin added, "I know you have come prepared, your Space Rings are full of various kinds of minerals and divine equipment, you have all the requirements with which you can build a miniature replica of the imperial city wall, and you can also ask any squadron in the Golden Faction for help when needed, the wall is a MUST and It will be over in less than a week, Is it clear? Oh, you will have to help the Rune Master Division make the foundations for the Energy Protection Dome's array as well."

"...Yes, Your Excellency, count on us." The dwarf slapped his hand on his chest and quickly turned back toward the Divine Blacksmiths Division

Robin nodded when he saw this and turned back to look at the other person, he was tall and thin, his fingers were also very long, and his eyes were completely black like a moonless night, but once in a while there would be a few small dots shining in them, Robin immediately realized that he was a member of the Astral race of a Planet Nihari

"For you, I want you to make a miniature version of the Energy Protection Dome array, not the updated one that Jabba created, but the basic array drawn on the ground with the help of a few metal foundations, can you make it?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I still remember the blueprints." The Astral nodded, "If we start now, we can finish making an array the size of the White Flame Dome in only two days."

"Good, two days is fine..." Robin nodded slowly, "When you have finished securing this spot I want you to move up the hill under the protection of a few Sages and expand the array little by little until it covers the whole hill from this point upwards, can you do this for me?"

The star human made a full bow, and spoke, "You don't need to say more, Your Excellency, the Rune Masters Battalion will definitely not let you down."

Robin let out a long Exhale as he saw the man moving towards the Inscription Masters' battalion... Everything will depend on them now.

The white flame dome is perfect for defense against both ground and air forces, but it can't be activated all the time!

It is ok if it needs a lot of energy, it would be fine as they have a lot of energy pearls, but the white flame dome doesn't need raw energy, it depends on the Fire Forces and Life Forces to be nurtured and maintained all the time!

This cannot continue...

Exchanging life forces and flame forces to maintain the White Flame Dome might be good for the short term, but it would be a disaster if they stayed like this for a few days, even with Energy Pearls that could replace the energy they lost, nothing would make up for the extreme fatigue caused by using their bodies in a such intense way. They will collapse sooner or later.

Robin made a choice to start an attrition war that might take weeks or even months to reach a conclusion -That is in the best case scenario- so how can he allow his forces to get exhausted in only a few days? What would happen if the white flame dome fell?

Building a mini city here before the white flame dome fell... That was the next step.

And it was actually obvious to almost everyone now after his orders to Peon and two divisions...

There were small talks here and there questioning this reasoning, but Robin gave a deaf ear...

If there is any chance of survival on this planet, it will be by creating a secure headquarters... at least temporarily.
