Chapter 148: Costown

Zach's headache intensified as he walked to an empty courtyard of the movie star in his yard. He is forced to let Emma stay here until the promised mansion is completed, and he decides to speed up the construction progress.

Ogras wanted to accompany them, but Alexa arrived, which seemed to make him change his mind. The Poison Mistress was not as naughty as usual, she glared at the movie star and left, and the movie star was rewarded. Now only Emily is with them.

"So are you really a super brother?" Jules told me she suspected you were him, and the demon confirmed it. Why did you use that stupid nickname?" "Sounds like someone is trying to lure the kids into their van," Emma said, and it's clear she's not willing to choose her words more carefully after learning who Zach is.

Zach just sighed and shook his head. It seems that he, as a top movie star, can't completely control the mouth of this famous movie star. However, thanks to her, he was able to obtain the title and benefits of the First Lord, so he chose to endure it for the time being.

At least she would soon become a nuisance to others, because once she had built her mansion, she was forbidden from his residence. If she continued to cause trouble or trouble in Port Atwood, he wouldn't put her in jail, even if he had to build one for her. His patience is limited.

"You can stay here now," Zach said as they came to the small, elaborate courtyard. This courtyard is just across from the courtyard where Zach usually meditates. "It may take us a week or two to build your permanent residence, as our troops are a bit busy right now. ”

"Well, I think it's okay," Emma said as she walked.

Zach nodded and turned to leave, but a shout stopped him.

"Wait. What about me?" said Emma, glaring.

"What about you?" Zach asked.

"Can you keep me here?" you're the worst host ever," Emma said angrily.

"Emily can take you to Port Atwood. Julia should be there too. You can also stay in his palace with Ogras," Zach said, hoping she would accept his invitation.

Why should I live in God's name?" "Honey, please take me to Julia," she said, and hooked her arm around Emily's arm in a way that was visibly excited.

In the end, the two left together, leaving Zach alone with his thoughts. He opened his quest screen and looked at his quest.

Invasion Master (Unique): Closes or conquers the invasion and protects the town from other factions for 3 months. Rewards: 5 E-rank Relationship Crystals, towns upgraded to cities, and status promoted to lords. (23)[02:15:23:14]

There are less than three days left until the third and final wave. He checked his things and felt fully prepared. He already had the two lightning penalty arrays he had bought for Ant Wave, as well as a large number of crystals from Raeder's cosmic sack and mining operations.

He also got high-quality siege machines from sacks, which even low-level people could use. They may not get energy from killing, but at least they will contribute to the war. Depending on the nature of the waves, he either had the Valkyries use siege engines or gain experience from hand-to-hand combat. To be honest, he didn't know what else could be done to prepare ordinary people before the big waves hit.

After resting for a while, he went to the town to meet Adelan, who was usually up-to-date.

"Hello, Mistress Zach," said the devil, and Thack walked into his office, which was still a big tent. He still didn't bother with building a suitable building, because it would soon be moved anyway.

"How's the people in the new town?" Zach asked after greeting the caretaker.

"Hehe, I don't know how you called them here, but some people ...... Not too happy with the current state of the Port of Atwood. Things got better when we demonstrated building a house in an hour, though, and explained that we would start building the town in two weeks.

Zach just nodded and grimaced. After Mr. Zhuang adopted a shameless recruitment strategy, his reaction did not surprise him.

He added: "There are also two little beavers who have been pestering us to take them to the island and their kind town. ”。

"Where are they now?" Zach asked.

The incident with Ogras caused him to completely forget about both of these things.

"They're waiting in the tavern," replied the devil.

"Do we have a tavern?" Zach asked in surprise.

"Yes, when you were away, a more enterprising person drove one. Another person also told us that there was a sizable wine cellar on his island. "We're going again, and I hope you don't mind," the devil grinned.

Zach nodded and said, "This is very good, some private enterprises have appeared very well, please help solve such cases in the future." ”。 "How's the combat readiness?"

"Everything we could think of has been done. We've made a lot of improvements to the traps and traps outside the walls, reinforced the walls, and added siege machines.

"We've also trained some of the more capable civilians to help them with the logistics and basic triage. The only question left is whether you wish to purchase more arrays or tools to prepare. ”

Zach thought it through. Between his combined town protection array and lightning punishment, he felt safe enough to handle the third wave. He is sure that it will be a nuisance problem, but to what extent this system will exacerbate the difficulties. With his own and demonic powers, as well as the various advantages he had accumulated, he felt confident that he could take on almost anything that this system could bring him.

"We got everything we needed from the AntClan," Zach said, and the demon nodded in agreement.

"Oh, we're also starting to make progress on some fronts to get the wagon you brought back some time ago running on the Nexus crystal. At the moment, we can simply use the energy in the combustion chamber of such a device to make a fire, but in the future we can even make it run on pure energy instead of wasting so much energy by converting it into heat," the demon added.

Zach was delighted to hear the news. He is confident that such a modification will be very profitable, but will also help many people in their actions. Not every town can have an expensive teleportation array, and you have to walk between them. Being able to drive greatly increases their chances of survival.

"Great, keep me informed. I plan to visit the company village of Beastma before the waves hit. Maybe we can find some more fighters. I have the impression that they may also be skilled craftsmen who will help refine all our materials into marketable equipment. ”

With that, he left the command tent and headed for the tavern. He sees two Ishii sitting in the corner looking a little uneasy, but when Zach tells them that he's going to take them back to their hometown, they're clearly excited.

But before they left, he saw who was standing behind the counter and began.

"Is that you?" Zach asked in surprise.

"Well, men have to do something," Ryan replied with a smile. "When I said I wanted to open a tavern, the demons were more than happy to help build it. I've never seen a house built so quickly. Unfortunately, since the demons brought the wine, I can't really charge them, but at least I can charge someone else. ”

"I'm glad you found your phone," Zach replied with a smile.

Sometimes I dream that you go to work in a tropical bar. Who knew the end of the world would make it a reality?" Ryan replied with a smile.

I don't want to make him a little anxious, but I don't want to make him a little anxious.

"I'll talk to you later," Zach said, leaving with two beans.

Zach also takes the fisherman and a demon on the initial reconnaissance mission and sets sail immediately. The island was more than six hours away, and he didn't want to waste any time. Soon, when Zach sat on the bow of the boat again and stared at the knife, they cut through the waves at breakneck speed.

The two were very interested in the ships they used. They may have done quite a bit of research on human technology since the integration, but this ship is something else entirely. They talk excitedly about the building and try to speculate on how it works, all while they scribble like crazy notes in their notebooks. It was as if that ship had opened up a new world for them.

Zach was happy to see their excitement as he hoped he would be able to relocate at least part of Ishii back to his town in order to get some artisans. The humanity he brought with him from New Washington was a good start, but there were few suitable craftsmen on earth before the fall. Zach suspects that concepts like blacksmiths, tinkerers, and even alchemists, more common among gargoyles, are essentially a medieval society hungry for technological advancement.

Finally, when the sun began to set, they reached their destination, a sizable island, slightly larger than the one he had visited so far. The climate here is the same as on his island, but the forest looks very different. They are much more abundant in color, with many trees having red leaves instead of green, and many trunks being blue.

The town they visited was not originally a seaside town, so they came from the interior and they set out to travel through the beautiful forest. A strange critter with three eyes and six legs suddenly slid in front of them, startling Zach.

"It's a Pulika," one Ishii explained, "I haven't seen it since autumn." The whole forest feels like home, even though it's a lot longer than normal. ”

They trekked for five minutes unharmed to the walled city, which Zach looked at with interest. Its architecture looked very different from anything he had ever seen.

The wall is made of some metal, and on top of it there are huge brass cannons. Both the cannon and the walls look somewhat new, although they are not very well shaped. Zach believes that they were built or improved to fight the monsters on the island. This also explains the craters on the ground around the city walls, as well as the trees at the edge of the forest, which were engulfed in fire.

"We're home," Ishii said with mature affection.

As they approached the town, Zach kept looking at the area. It's clear that the town hasn't been left unscathed over the past few months. There are clear signs of fighting everywhere in the town, the metal plating is dented, and there are even many places missing. It gives the image of being ravaged by war, although Zach points out that the town is still standing because no part of the walls has been completely destroyed, and there are still people patrolling the walls.

Unabashedly, the group openly walked towards the gate. Their approach was quickly noticed, and the guards shouted at the men below. Soon they reached the door that was still closed.

"Hey, I'm Shevin of Kirston, daughter of Barso Moon. "With me were my husband Borowin and some human friends who helped us get home," she shouted against the wall.

A minute no one responded, and Zach began to frown.

"What now?" Zach asked Shishou, looking a little confused.

"Wait a little longer. "The guards may have to report to the person in charge," Xie replied hesitantly.

She was quickly proven right, and in a minute a further moment a roar could be heard coming from the wall.

"Open the damn door, you idiots!" a deep voice echoed, and almost immediately after the door slowly creaked open.

Before Zach and the others could get inside, a giant rushed towards them.

After another minute, the beast turned around and stopped its attack, and it moved through the mist and up to the nearest mountain. Elija was dragged over and continued her attack as it grew slower. Batar has the freedom and ability to care for the rest of the shadows, including all the refugees who are still alive. Elija will join him as soon as possible, but risking the monster's recovery and return is the worst option in the long run. Plus, Elija can't deny that she wants to kill.

The spirit dragged her to the side of the mountain, the stone scratched her veil, her body crashed against the edge of the cliff again and again, and the magical beast climbed up to even colder places with all it had left. It will lose a fight to the death. She knew that, and so would the beasts, soon. Five minutes later they came out high in the valley, the snow was high and undisturbed by the travelers, and the wind blew mercilessly towards them. Elija noticed something, but it didn't affect her strong body at all. Her ability to resist ice combined with her veil, her exuberant vitality and her whole-body self-cultivation skills turned the ice storm around her coupled with the spirit of winter into a cool autumn wind.

Then the beast died, Elija's hand could not grasp anything, she clamped her fingers together and released them, the weather suddenly warmed, the wind carried away the frozen particles around her, and the ice on her armor cracked as she moved her body.

As the struggle grew weaker, Elija began to use one of her arms to teleport the ember wave to the creature again, its slow movement allowing her to take turns using meditation, thus saving her the option of leaving and returning to complete the mission or no longer find the monster. It lost, she won. Her high mana and recovery proved to be an obstacle too high for the spirit to overcome.
