62 Chapter 62 - Roar of Magic (1/2)
”Archers, hold until the enemy are within range!” Lord Swan said as the tide of enemies charged ever forward.
The packs of Ghouls disrupted the charge for a time, the enemy front ranks envoleped in a swarm of gnashing undead teeth. The Ghouls were pretty smart too, already having dug small tunnels beneath the heaps of dead, and ambushing the enemy as they passed on by.
Those of the enemy vanguard that made it past the ghoul warren's and mounds of dead then found themselves shot down by arrows or crushed by rocks. But as more and more of the enemy arrived they began to rapidly build large wooden shelters.
These shelters became the staging ground for ladder attacks, and soon Kenji received the signal from Lord Swan.
”I'll be right back!” he said running down the stairs, the allied humans both glad and concerned to see the necromancer fleeing.
Down the stairs Kenji flew, around the corner and to where an executioners platform had been augmented. Huge sets of iron plate hung from dozens of sets of thick rope, even more gigantic armour pieces arranged all around.
”We just finished, somehow. Give them hell kid,”muttered Burgeon, one of the rescued blacksmiths of Warden Company. His apprentice sons saluted from behind him.
”Those guys are insane I'm telling you. Bloody bastards didn't stop hammering for even a moment!” the local blacksmith said in disbelief.
A chuckling voice made Kenji turn, Almanac appearing on a cloud of gold mist with a large palm sized saphire in hand. Yet no normal gem, this saphire blasted an endless stream of freezing cold in every direction.
”Better get suited up Kenji, I'll be looking forward to seeing if all this expense is really going to be worth it,” Almanac grinned, ”although if it works, this will make for an excellent few lines in the poem of how Almanac the Great saved Tariak from annihilation.”
”Even though this was my idea,” Kenji said as he morphed into the main Troll body in his storage. While he had a copy of the same troll in his forbidden slot, the weakened state of using a cloned body over the real one made using it less attractive a choice.

And even if he ended up destroying this real body, he could always just keep using the expendable [Forbidden Copy] version in future if he so wished.
All the while the ropes had been loosened, and mounds of iron armour slamned down on Kenji's trollish shoulders. Powerfully built, he easily supported the weight as he swiftly became covered in heavy iron armour coated with a hundred old knives, swords, spear heads and farming equipment melted atop it to produce a spiky carapace.
”Do remind me, who owns the incredibly rare ice gem? And which of us has the arcane skill to imbue it's properties into your equipment's design?” Almanac said as he peered into the wisdom hidden within his finger nails.
Rolling his eyes, Kenji pulled down the thick iron helmet, topped with a rhino like horn, and thick enough to stop a dragons claw.
