Chapter 451: Entering the Armory


    "Start throwing rocks," I shouted as I already saw my victory in my hands.


    "Ding Dong! Don''t be so happy! This is just the first castle here and there are four more to conquer if you wanted to get back alive."


    "Hahaha, don''t worry my damned system, I won''t die here."


    ""


    I then watched my giant showering the entire castle with rocks. I felt the system frustration, and I was pretty sure other castles wouldn''t be harder than this one here.


    It only would take much time, and little effort topletely clear everything. But as long as there was a way, I wouldn''tin.


    It seemed that the lizard was the boss and heart of this castle. After only two hours, the monsters grew restless and started to go out of the devastated walls and try to attack us.


    Yet they were all smashed long before they could reach us. In less than five hours, the entire world ushered underplete silence, and I finally won this fight.


    "To the castle," I shouted with excitement while my giant ran towards the front. It didn''t take twenty minutes for him to reach the castle, and hended me inside as the first to step inside it.


    The ce was in ruin. Calling it a ruined ce was an understatement. Everything was crushed and no building stood erect anymore except for a few scattered here and there.


    And they were just the lucky ones to receive only a couple of hits from my giant. Even these had many wounds in their bodies, and I just sighed when I saw this scene.


    "You outdone this, y''know," I sighed.


    "I couldn''t aim correctly from that far," he said in an apologizing tone.


    "Don''t worry," I muttered, "what I need is to make others search this ce upside down and salvage everything we could have."


    I didn''t wait for the army to arrive as I ordered my giant to start clearing the ce. With his help, and when the army arrived, clearing the ce became something we could achieve faster than I expected.


    After three hours the ce looked clean. "Alright, go and search for anything valuable," I ordered, "let''s see what this ce holds as secrets."


    I didn''t expect to find everything valuable here, but at least I would take a glimpse on what was waiting for me in the end.


    And in less than ten minutes, the good news started to pour in and I had my smile wide for a long time, making my face ache from this.


    "Amazing," Iughed when I saw all the books piled around me, "many scientific principles are here. Thanks system for your kind advice from before. By these I can start building my real empire, hehehe."


    "Ding Dong! You need first to get out alive!"


    I sensed the hatred in my system''s voice. "Don''t worry about that, I can take care of myself pretty well," I chuckled.


    "Ding Dong! We''ll see," he simply said and I felt he was preparing a big disaster for me somewhere on the long road ahead.


    "You bastard! You never get tired of trying to scheme against me!" I cursed with anger yet the system didn''t respond to my provocation.


    And that made me sure of the trap he lied ahead. "It seems I have to rest here well before moving on," I took a quick nce again over the piles of books here before taking them all inside my inventory. "There will be time for you babies to shine," I promised while waiting for other books toe.


    "Mydy, we found a secret room underneath," suddenly Jen came running from far away and shouting with such excitement over her face.


    "What''s there?" I asked while taking the books away.


    "Weapons," she hurriedly said, "many weapons of different forms and great numbers."


    This time I jumped off my ce, even hitting a couple piles of books on the sides to make them fall. I didn''t care about them right now, as this discovery of the armory was much important for me at the moment.


    "This" I stood in front of the smashed doors of the underground armory, "this is huge!" Iughed while moving my eyes everywhere I could see. I entered with the rest of my army leaders who were feeling the same way as I did.


    There were swords, shields, spears, helmets, literally everything piled on top of each other while the best thing was they came to suit the giants in my army and also the humans!


    All weapons came in different sizes and that made meugh. The underground armory started with a little room which we broke into, but from it I found many rooms filled with weapons and different war items.


    "This is built entirely under the grand scale of the castle," I figured this out after walking for an hour inside. The weapons were sharp, new, and ready to be used.


    "Go and bring in your boys, take everything and army ourselves with these," I shouted with a bigugh, "it''s time to make you guys real monsters, hahahaha."


    The only thing that I regretted was theck of any special weapon like my old beloved artifacts. "Damn, if all of these were artifacts," I dreamt andughed while watching others taking out everything.


    "Mydy, there is a strange room here," Omad suddenly spoke before adding, "it''s filled with sheets of papers," he weirdly tried to describe the content of that room.


    "Take me there," I demanded and when I reached the room, I found it wasn''t only one but an entire sector here.


    "Let''s see" I held on paper and the moment I did I suddenly recalled something I heard long back in the game. "Scrolls these are magic scrolls" I hurriedly moved my eyes around, "there are thousands of these amazing!"


    "Do you know what these sheets of paper are for?" Dredly came to ask as he was also puzzled by the scrolls, "for me they are shitty pieces of paper."


    "These are mighty weapons for our wars," Iughed before adding, "all you need to do is to cut them in half and then they''ll be activated. Oh wait" I paused before hurrying to read the content. "Damn! The rules have changed."


    "What rules?" Omad asked in confusion.


    "The rules of the scrolls," I sighed before adding, "you''ll need to recite a certain mantra before activating it. but the good news is they won''t dissipate after using."


    The two nced weirdly at me like they were hearing about a myth. "Don''t worry, you''ll soon see their wrath," Iughed before adding, "bring me everything in these rooms, I''ll safe keep them for all of you."


    For me, this gain wasn''t any lesser than the weapons in this armory. But the reciting part seemed to be out of context here. "I need to first make them memorize the words," I sighed, as this seemed a mission to be used inter time.


    But at least I could use them, and also Lisely could. "I should hold her back for a little," I muttered as I had to safeguard slightly against things I couldn''t match yet.


    As they started to clear this sector, other sectors revealed another type of weapons.


    "These" I held a group of gs and didn''t know what to call these. "Are they used to deliver messages?"


    "We know nothing at all about this," Dredly sighed as this was the second thing he saw here that didn''t make any sense to him.


    "Sigh, I should seek someone''s help then," I evilly smiled before adding, "system, I want to pay the corresponding price to know the value of these gs."


    "Ding Dong! Are you sure? This knowledge will cost you a thousand pearl!"


    The corners of my eyes twitched, yet when I rted this with the evil trap of my system up ahead, I realized my system was trying to use my love for pearls against me.


    He was afraid of me getting my hands over these gs and using them. They must be a mighty weapon then.


    "I agree," I simply said.


    "Ding Dong! What?"


    "You heard me," Iughed as it seemed he didn''t expect my answer to be like this. "deduct the one thousand pearl and give me my answer."


    He waited for a long minute before I repeated my request again.


    "Ding Dong! Alright, it''s an array. Used in wars to make different effects."


    He stopped and I waited, "Is that it?" I weirdly nced at nowhere before hearing his voice again.


    "Ding Dong! That''s the answer for the price you paid. If you want more, you''ll need to pay ten thousand pearls next time."


    "Cheater!" I shouted in fake anger before taking the g in my hand, "at least I know this isn''t a way to deliver messages."


    I nced over the gs in hand before saying, "take these and make every race in my army to inspect it. if they couldn''t find how this works, we''ll have to test them live on the battlefield."


    "Alright," Omad and Dredly made their subordinates take arge number of these gs as they vanished, trying to discover what these arrays were used for.


    And for me, I simply waited here for the final result of this.


    As I waited there, I started to try to decipher these arrays. Everything I tried was for nothing, I couldn''t know how to make these gs release their hidden might.


    I waited, but during the next couple of hours I got no response back and in return my army found another special ce that we all recognized its content.


    Siege weapons!


    An entire sector was filled with giant siege weapons. There were siege towers, catapults, and even giant spear thrower and some other wall defenses like oil sprayers.
