Chapter 745 - The Great Purgation 2 (1/2)
There was a place called the Minos Basin. It would take two days to get there from the South of Verange Castle.
A wide plain was located in a low hilly area, and it was a dry region.
The place was large enough to accommodate millions of Undead. However, several tents were placed in the center of the plain.
The people in the tents seemed to be the leaders and commanders who were looking after the construction process of the large magic circle and the relay tower.
“Is the installation of the large magic circle amplification done?”
Erwin, who received magic communication from another place, turned her head to answer Karen’s question, “It was said that the riders have arrived at the specified coordinates and are ready. The moment the Queen manifests her Spirit power, she will be playing the role of the highest grade spirit stone.”
As it almost covered the plains, there were large and small magic stones all over, 18 Orions were mobilized to replace the advanced magic stones.
But, more than half of the Sword Masters of Symphonia Kingdom was out in the Baroque Empire to stop the Undead.
The lack of numbers made them ask for Princess Jo Mimi and Ja-hye’s escorts.
Having learned to maneuver the low-quality Gigants in a short time, they drove Orion, which had been airlifted from Katarina Magic Tower a few hours ago, to the needed coordinates.
In fact, some of the Orion Gigants weren’t even finished, due to the lack of time, some heads and arms were omitted.
“Well, according to Meister Mute, the core engine is what makes the Gigant function, so there will be no problem on how they work for the magic circle.”
“Good. What happened to the relay tower which is being installed on the hillside?”
“Right after installing it, they are going to withdraw.”
Relay towers were built on the hills which surrounded the plain.
The relay towers were going to amplify the Spirit power of Reina along with the super large magic circle.
“Well, now we can run the magic circle at any time.”
“Yes, if His Majesty really managed to lure in the Undead.”
Reina, who was listening to their conversation, approached them.
“Seems like the final inspection is done.”
“Yes, it is mom’s turn now.”
At Karen’s words, Reina felt calm.
During the days she reached Symphonia along with Luke, she kept feeling frustrated.
Her companion and daughter were preparing forces, magic circles.
They were working very busily, and all she could do was watch.
“It was painful to only see and not do anything.”
“Who said you didn’t do anything. Everyone knows that mom helped a lot.”
Karen tried to make Reina feel good.
All these days, Reina wasn’t just praying.
In spite of the pressure around her, she tried to do things she knew, such as preparing meals for wizards and other workers.
And that greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and get the job done quickly.
“That was something I had to do.”
“Ugh, my mom is so humble. People will start to belittle you if you turn too humble.”
The reason why Karen said that was because of Jo Mimi and Ja-hye’s attitude.
Originally, the two of them were princesses who were supporting Luke from the Song Empire and Yemaek.
Well, it was bound for them to have high self-esteem.
However, when they first met Reina, they backed down because of her being the pope of the Holy Empire and Luke’s companion.
However, after Reina treated them very closely, they were calling Reina sister, and Reina too accepted them willingly. She didn’t know how foxy and sly they cloud be.
“Fine. I’ll keep them in mind. But really… Our Karen had grown so much now. This is so fun.”
As Reina shook her head and left, Karen spoke to the Meister of the Holy Arthenia Magic Tower, who followed the pope.
“Mr. Reas, please take care of my mother.”
“Don’t worry, Princess. I will take care of Her Holiness.”
Bowing her head down to Karen, he and Reina boarded a hot air balloon prepared nearby.
Two hot air balloons were already prepared and went toward the sky, carrying a group of people.
Reina had a reason for boarding into the hot air balloon.
It was to make use of the advantage of using the Spirit power at a high place in order to make the power be available to all.
The problem was that there was no cliff or mountain that could overlook the basin.
