196 Retreat
"We are heading back!"
n''s decisive promation rang through the air, as he made it clear that they were going to abandon their current position and retreat.
The garrison had served its purpose, but it was clear that it wouldn''t withstand another onught, especially knowing the type of undead that woulde on the sixth night. With determination, n issued the orders for everyone to prepare for the march back to safety.
600 yers, marching the 20 miles back on foot would be a time-consuming endeavor, requiring at least four hours of travel. To ensure their arrival before the next battle, they needed to start preparations and move out as soon as possible.
"How many horses do we have?" n''s inquired. Bill, responsible for logistics, was the one to respond. "Just a little over one hundred," he informed the group.
Seeing the look on n''s face, Vicky couldn''t help but narrow her eyes suspiciously. She had a hunch that n was about to propose yet another daring n. "Let me guess," she said, her voice tinged with curiosity. "You have another crazy n, don''t you?"
"Yes, I do."
In the following hours, while Luis diligently prepared lunch for the yers, n carefully handpicked a group of 100 individuals to remain with him at the garrison. His choices primarily consisted of the support team, including crafters, gatherers, and the special units led by Sergeant Daniel. n knew that these yers possessed valuable skills needed for the tasks at hand.
In terms ofbat, n made strategic selections. He included Merle''s team and Rose renowned for their exceptional long-rangebat abilities.
"I am staying as well!"
Vicky dered with unwavering determination, her resolve clear in her voice. This time, she wouldn''t ept any arguments to the contrary. Daniel also expressed his desire to remain behind, entrusting Milo with the leadership of the Wolverines during their absence. Lieutenant Marsh would apany Milo to support the group on their journey back to the main force.
As the 500 yers began their march away from the garrison, n assembled his chosen team and briefed them on their tasks. The atmosphere was charged with a sense of purpose as they prepared to face the impending challenge. Each member of the group understood the significance of the role given to them.
The special units and crafters would join n in the hall, where they would focus on creating more [umon] fighting equipment and [ck powder], a critical resource for their defense. Meanwhile, the remaining yers were tasked with gathering essential materials; They ventured into the forest for wood, scaled the mountains for sulfur, and explored caves in search of bat excrement, all necessary ingredients for ck powder production.
With the fighters apanying the gatherers, the garrison appeared empty, devoid of any visible souls on its walls. "We have 6 hours, let''s start!"
n wasted no time, immediately setting his n into motion.He worked closely with the crafters, including Gus, Marie, Shamus, and their team, to manufacture as much umon equipment as possible. Their coordination and expertise were essential in this critical task, and they operated at peak performance, crafting the necessaryponents and materials.
When it was ready, n took over for thest touch,
[You have sessfully crafted an item]
[Your (Science - Master) allows you to sessfully create an umon item]
[Your Inventor Jobss allows you to sessfully create a higher quality item]
[Name: Metal Sword]
[Name: Metal Shield]
[Name: Metal Armor]
[Name: Medical bandage]
On the other side of the hall, Sergeant Dn and his team of engineers diligently prepared the necessaryponents for crafting homemade bombs, and just like teh metal items, n also took charge of the final assembly process. n meticulouslybined the steel tube bodies, gunpowder, and fuses, applying his high Science level and Inventor Jobss expertise to craft a superior explosive item. The result was a much stronger item of remarkable quality.
[You have sessfully crafted an item]
[Your Inventor Jobss enhances the quality of your crafted items]
[Name: Dynamites]
[Type: Explosive]
[Rarity: Common]
[Attributes: Firepower 120-180]
[Effect: Area damage 15-45 (5 meters)]
[Able to Bring Outside the Game: No]
[Remarks: Don''t make this without proper supervision]
Thanks to n''s expertise, these Dynamites not only packed 25% more firepower but also had a significantly reduced risk of malfunction or unexpected detonation, ensuring the safety of those who wielded them.
Five hours flew by in a flurry of crafting and preparation, during which n managed to sessfully create 400 new sets of umon equipment and 100 Dynamites. With these items in their arsenal, they were better equipped to face the impending undead threat.
n prepared all the gatherers and crafters for their departure. Bill was appointed to lead them, and they wasted no time in mounting horses to make their way back to the Roman walls. Their mission was to deliver the newly created items to the yers stationed there. If they set out promptly, n believed they could avoid encountering any undead on their way back and reach their destination in time to assist theirrades in the uing battle.
The sun''s brilliance began to fade, a harbinger of the approaching dawn, and only 18 figures remained within the confines of the old garrison. n, Rose, Vicky, Daniel, Merle, and his rednecks team, the three champion NPCs; Percival, Daganot, and Guinevere. Lastly; Sergeant Dn and his special unit of engineers – Gaston, Naymar, Simon, and Johnny. All of them were fully engrossed in setting up the preparations for n''s n.
Merle, feeling the mounting pressure, couldn''t help but voice his concern. "How much longer!?".
However, n was deeply focused on the task at hand, and it was evident that they needed more time. Unfortunately, as the darkness enveloped thend and shrouded their surroundings, a notification arrived, casting a foreboding shadow over their efforts.
[The source of darkness has arrived in Britannia Land].
The sixth night had begun.
