Chapter 1616: Chapter 1080: City Building_2

"Mr. Kidd, what are you doing?"

Seeing the man lying under the carriage without taking a breath, Naruse Mio asked in confusion. This man called Kidd was a merchant from Rogge Camp, known for his bragging; he always boasted about how great his goods were. Of course, Naruse Mio and Tower City Kitten never bought them, but listening to the stories about those gears was quite interesting, a nice way to pass the time.

Yet now, he was under the carriage...

"Yo, little sister, it’s you guys! Want to come over? You two are pretty slim, so you can fit in here too."

"??? Hide?"

"Of course, isn’t the Demon Army about to attack? This camp can’t possibly withstand the assault of the Demon Army, right? You’ve seen it, the broken stone walls around here are only a little over a meter high, they can’t even stop wolves, let alone defend against demons, it’s just wishful thinking......"

Kidd complained and then shifted himself further into the interior of the carriage, gesturing once again to the two.

"Come on, get in here, it’ll be troublesome if someone sees us!"

Upon hearing Kidd’s response, Naruse Mio was silent for a moment, then looked toward Kidd.

"What kind of camp can resist the Demon Army’s attack then?"

"What’s the point of saying these things now?"

Though Kidd didn’t know why Naruse Mio was asking this question, he still answered.

"To stop the Demon’s attack, unless you have high and thick walls like the fortress in the World Mountain Range. There, the Barbarians rely on their fortress to block the Demon attacks time and again. A camp like this certainly has no way!"

"........!"

Upon hearing this, Naruse Mio’s eyes brightened, quickly turning around and leaving, while Tower City Kitten glanced at her and hurriedly followed behind Naruse Mio.

Leaving behind Kidd’s pitiful call.

"Hey, where are you going? Aren’t you afraid of dying......?"

Paying no heed to Kidd’s call, Naruse Mio sought out Kasha, who was arranging the defenses.

"Miss Kasha!"

"What is it? What’s the matter? Has the Steel Warrior returned?"

"Uncle hasn’t returned yet, I wanted to ask, is it true that as long as there are high and thick walls, the camp could hold against the Demon Army?"

"More or less, certainly better than now...... Judging by the current situation, if the Demon Army charges in, we won’t be able to hold them...... Why are you asking this?"

"I can create walls!"

"...... Huh?"

Upon hearing Naruse Mio’s words, Kasha felt like she must have misheard. She stared at Naruse Mio in shock, completely misunderstanding her meaning.

"What do you mean by creating walls?"

".........."

Naruse Mio said nothing, she simply turned and reached out her hand forward. Immediately, Kasha witnessed just beyond the perimeter of the camp—the originally flat ground suddenly began to rise, lifting upward!

Seeing this, others in the camp were also shocked, hurriedly backing away. Under the invisible control of gravity, the mixed soil and stones in front quickly transformed and rose, forming a nearly ten-meter-high, three-meter-wide earthen wall in just a moment!

"This.........."

Seeing this, Kasha was dumbfounded; she knew magic was powerful, but even Kasha had never seen such magic!

"Phew......"

At this moment, Naruse Mio let out a breath and looked at Kasha.

"Miss Kasha, will this work?"

"This......... Of course, it can!"

Hearing Naruse Mio’s question, Kasha quickly returned to her senses. Though she didn’t understand how Naruse Mio did it, she had to admit, this was the most effective means for now!

"Would you mind elevating the entire camp perimeter to this level? If we can do that, we have confidence to resist the Demon Army’s attack!"

"Sure, no problem!"

Upon hearing Kasha’s reply, Naruse Mio was immediately filled with enthusiasm and began working energetically. With her raising the magic wand, the ground around the camp began to rise rapidly, within moments, forming a circle of barricades wrapping the entire Rogge Camp.

"I can’t believe you can do such a thing......"

Watching Naruse Mio cast magic, Tower City Kitten was quite amazed, while Naruse Mio wiped the sweat from her forehead with a bitter smile and replied.

"Well, I can’t help it; after all, my teacher requires me to always practice these things."

Indeed, as Naruse Mio said, Frieren wanted her to master gravity magic training, which meant having Naruse Mio use her magic to conduct such shaping and transporting work. Whether it was clearing the ruins of collapsed houses before, or building new houses’ foundations, Naruse Mio had to do it herself—the purpose being to train her to instinctively utilize gravity spells anytime, anywhere.

Now it actually turns out to be useful.

No matter how heavy the stones or soil are, as long as gravity is handled properly, it’s basically weightless. So Naruse Mio freely moved large chunks of stones from nearby for wall reinforcement.

Of course, in terms of wall building, Naruse Mio was clueless. But luckily, Kasha was by her side guiding her, so although it took some time, the wall encircling the Rogge Camp started taking shape.

"I really didn’t expect you to achieve this level, your magic is indeed powerful."

Standing on the wall, looking at everything before her eyes, Kasha couldn’t contain her inner surprise.

"I originally thought the Steel Warrior left you here for us to be babysitters. Now it seems that’s not the case, I underestimated you."

"Ahahaha, not really......"

Hearing Kasha’s comment, Naruse Mio felt a bit embarrassed. After all, in the past, whether in rankings competitions or when opposing entities like the Non-compliant God, she was merely a transparent, overlooked presence. Naruse Mio was used to her status, but now she suddenly became the center of attention........ It’s quite uncomfortable for her.

Now, the entire Rogge Camp has become a fortress, not only with over ten-meter-high walls, but also with deep trenches outside the walls. Naruse Mio followed Kasha’s suggestion, using soil and stones to shape sharp columns at the trench base. Since Naruse Mio created them herself, there was even no gate, and according to Kasha, this should hold off the Demon Army for quite a while!

"Woo-woo-------------!"

At the same time, the sound of the horn representing enemy attacks echoed, and people lifted their heads to look forward. Amidst the dim wilderness, dots of firelight gradually emerged, spreading under the dark night sky, soon extending all around. Then they saw hundreds, thousands of demons wielding swords, their bodies glowing red or blue, screaming shrilly as they advanced toward the defensive line of Rogge Camp.

".......!"

Seeing this, Naruse Mio also nervously gripped her magic wand.

Uncle, when are you coming back?
