The stonemason and the apprentices sat on the ground to rest, watching the magic guide materials rise up to the air under the guidance of Hedy's magic power, and are accurately drawn on the surface of the stone wall. A huge translucent palm assists next to it to remove or adjust the rune lines in the subtle areas of the magic circle, or inlaid amplification materials such as mana crystals at key nodes. In the rune spaces in various parts of the magic circle, there are caves and pores they dug out before, which are filled with shiny crystal "gravel".

In their eyes, those fine crystals with an average size of only rice grains are indeed similar to "gravel".

These exhausted people are not aware of what they are participating in. They are not even aware of the plan of Gao Wen to blow up the rock wall. They are just working here according to the orders of the lord, but Amber looks at these people and feels strange.

In addition to the final drawing of the detonating array, most of the whole process were actually completed by ordinary people and serfs from the furnace area burned crystals. The Magic Net No. 1 used to recharge the crystals was also built by ordinary craftsmen. Although Rebecca participated in the design of the Magic Net, he did not use any extraordinary power throughout the process. Then the civilians transported the crystal here, and the stonemason dug holes in the rock wall and stuffed the crystals into it...

In fact, if the magic circle is not drawn on the rock wall, and the time is limited, even the work of drawing magic circles can be completed by ordinary people. As long as they can ensure that all runes are drawn in the right place and the magic materials at key nodes are installed correctly. Although this requires some knowledge and skills, it does not require any extraordinary power. Amber believes that even civilians in the territory can master these as long as they have been studied and trained.

As for how people without magic power activate this magic array... Rebecca has made a rune trigger, and this rune trigger has been proven to be able to run on the detonating magic array. Even without a rune trigger, the "Magic Net No. 1" in the territory has realized the ability to supply external energy. As long as the charging route of Magic Net No. 1 is extended, ordinary people can detonate this set of things that Gao Wen calls "large art".

It is true that this process is much more complicated and difficult than snapping the big magicians' fingers, but even considering the possibility of this process being realized, Amber shuddered a little:

A group of ordinary people who have no ability to cast spells at all were able to blow up the entire cliff with this "magic device"...

As she thought about it, her gaze at Gao Wen couldn't help but become strange: This strange man who didn't look like a noble at all... Do you know what he was doing?

However, after thinking so seriously in my mind for a while, the only seriousness left by Amber was consumed. She patted her hands, looked up at the sky, and found that it was not yet dinner time, so she turned around and disappeared into the depths of the shadows.

She also had to continue monitoring the movements of the distorted bodies and send their information back to this place at any time. The task was still heavy.

On the other side, on the pass on the southwest side of the camp and on the mountain road entering the mountain, Philip and Byron were accompanying Rebecca, doing things they had never done before.

Command his subordinates to set traps on the ground, a kind of trap that can explode.

Soldiers and recruited civilians were responsible for digging pits, while Rebecca led the craftsmen to place the "land mines" in place. Since as long as the rune trigger was placed on the magic circle, the crystal particles that seemed harmless would become dangerous enough to break the mountain and crack the stone, each rune trigger was adjusted and placed in place by Rebecca. In order to prevent the careless guy from accidentally touching the mechanism, Rebecca also placed a red stone on the edge of each trap as a mark.

Yes, it was marked, which was completely inconsistent with the basic professional ethics of burying landmines, but it didn't matter, it was just bullying those distorted people without brains...

Knight Philip looked at his soldiers with a strange expression and sprinkled thin soil on the surface of a placed wooden box. He looked at the other people who were digging holes not far away. Finally, he couldn't help but mutter to Byron: "Is this... a bit inconsistent with the spirit of the chivalrous?"

"Not in line with the chivalrous spirit? Are you talking about digging a trap?" The gray-haired middle-aged knight glanced at the young talent, "What do you think chivalrous spirit should do?"

Philipte put his hand seriously on the hilt of the sword: "The knight should confront the enemy with dignity, arm himself with courage and justice, challenge the most powerful enemy head-on, defend the people and the land, if he wins, he will return with honor, and if he fails, he will bury the bones on the battlefield... instead of digging a trap here."

Byron waved his hands repeatedly before the other party finished speaking: "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, you really can't change your problem. You are young and gentle like an old churchman. Don't forget that these traps were ordered by the Duke. He is a knight among knights and a hero. Nowadays, the knight rules of various countries are even formulated based on him as a template. Do you think the things he arranged are not in line with the spirit of the chivalrous?"

Philip was already struggling about this matter, and he suddenly became more struggling when he heard it: "So I can't figure it out."

"In my opinion, this is quite in line with the spirit of chivalry," Byron touched his chin and began to use the eloquence he cultivated during the mercenary period to promote a set of fallacies. "We have dug a pit here with dignity. This is just like the horse-rejecting horse on the battlefield and the armor on your body. Then we also have to challenge the most powerful enemy. Look at the pits all over the ground. The monsters that can come out from here must be the strongest guy. Only such guys will run to the last line of defense to fight us. Those who can't even get through these pits are all weak people. Fighting with the weak will cause humiliation of the spirit of the chivalry..."

Philip thought about it carefully and looked at Byron with some confusion: "As you mean, are these traps to identify real strong enemies?"

Byron nodded: "That's about that."

Philip thought about it carefully again: "I always feel like you are talking nonsense."

Byron laughed and turned around to instruct the craftsmen who were installing "landmines": "Pour more stones and so on, just don't press the mechanism. I've seen the scene when these things explode. If there are stones in the pit, it's even more powerful to explode..."

Rebecca next to him suddenly lit up his eyes: "Oh! Is this still possible?!"

"That's of course," Byron smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the mercenary and the justice of the knight."

"Then wait a moment, I will let someone bury all the scattered copper and iron taken out of the mountains into a trap..."

The knight who became a monk halfway and the Viscount Miss who had been stuck in the door looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding, colluded with each other and colluded with each other...

Knight Philip, who witnessed the whole process later, sighed.

After a few hours, everything was finally arranged and all the soldiers and civilians retreated to the camp.

Gao Wen also retreated.

The monsters were already very close. According to Amber's report, they were approaching the first trap in Shanbei.

Once they begin to sense the breath of living people and the active magic energy, they will turn from a slow wandering state to a violent rush and rush towards the largest human settlement within the perception range.

The arrangement has been completed in front of the camp. A large area from the western pass to the camp looks completely unobstructed and open. After crossing this open space, the temporary fences and wood thorns built with wood can almost be ignored on the distortions, probably at most, it is just to slow down their movements.

The fully armed knights and soldiers behind the fence are the last line of defense of the camp.

Gowen stood with the camp guards. Beside him was Rebecca, holding a staff and looking nervous, behind him were two knights, Byron and Philip, while other soldiers and militia were guarding the south gate of the camp with swords and shields. Since the monsters had almost no ability to think and did not know the tactics of detours, just by defending the gate towards the Dark Mountains was equivalent to defending all the lines of defense.

This is probably the only good thing when fighting the distortions.

"Are you nervous?" Gao Wen asked casually when he noticed that Rebecca had taken a deep breath for the third time.

"A little bit," Rebecca squeezed out a smile, "Strange, I was obviously not nervous when I fought them last time..."

"Because you didn't have time to be nervous at that time, but this time you knew they were coming three days in advance. Waiting is the most terrifying thing in the world," Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, "But don't be afraid, you have to believe that the power of those crystals is created by you."

Rebecca nodded, but then shook her head: "But I have never done anything I have done since I was a child..."

Gao Wen quickly coughed twice and covered it: "Cough cough, don't say it here, shake the morale of the army."

Why is this child always having bad habits?

But it is obvious that the soldiers around them did not pay attention to what their lords and previous lords were saying.

They just stared at the mountain pass, waiting for what the lord said, "thunder" exploded.

In the dark mountains, the only way to the pass, Hetty stood alone on a protruding boulder on the top of the rock wall, quietly watching the winding natural mountain road below.

She could already smell the dirty aura of those monsters.

The air beside her was slightly distorted, and the figure of amber emerged from a shadow, and the half-elf-like lady's face was unprecedentedly serious: "They are here."

Hedy nodded slightly and looked to the end of the mountain road below.

A dirty mist rose there, the plants withered and fell down in the mist, and the flesh-and-blooded monsters, like giants, walked out of the mist, one, two, three... more and more.

Heti dissipated the cover spell imposed on himself. In an instant, the breath of a living person and the active magic energy were all revealed. In the eyes of those monsters originating from the demon tide, both auras were as dazzling as the firelight in the dark night.

The monsters who were originally swaying slowly instantly "awakened" and roared in chaos and madly, then suddenly accelerated like a group of hyenas smelling blood, and rushed towards Hetty.

The huge figures began to run wildly on the mountain road, and Amber instantly had goose bumps. However, Hedy just watched this scene quietly. She stood at the magic injection point of the detonating magic array without taking any action.

"So...so close!" Amber whispered nervously.

"Not yet," Hetty just shook his head, "the more we bury here, the less pressure they have to face, so wait."

Amber grabbed Hetty's arm, and half of his body began to fade: "Okay, I'll wait for your signal. As long as you detonate me, I'll pull you in immediately!"

Hedy nodded slightly, raised her hand, and released the easiest flash technique in the direction of the monsters.

The most basic spells triggered a more obvious mana fluctuation, and the monsters immediately rushed in even more frantically. They pushed and shoved, crowded together, like a mass of deformed monsters formed by flesh and blood, and rushed to the center of the mountain road with the ground, and even began to try to climb the cliff where Hetty stood.

Hedy activated the magic circle under her feet without hesitation and pulled Amber's arm: "Go!"

The two figures instantly disappeared into the surging shadows.

The magic array on the rock wall emits dazzling white light, and in one second it detonates countless "mana crystals" buried everywhere in the rock wall.
Chapter completed!
