Chapter 274: Defending

It started out slow, one or two skeletal fiends at a ti at the undead creatures that just rushed without any fret for their own lives They were like guiding ical object in the vicinity In this case, it was one of his turrets that didn’t even need toskeleton

Each tiiven a veryas otherwise killing the vast quantity of these creatures would help him achieve tier 3 a lot faster However, he would need to worry about that after he took care of the proble froeon to the city Roland had already witnessed theeven smaller paths like the one to his house Probably the ates while a smaller number was funneled towards his side instead

“Hey, Boss”

“What is it? Did they sneak around the back?”

“No, it’s a e from the missus”

Roland turned towards Bernir who for the tione down from the walls Instead, he went to the workshop to look at the map there While the minimap in his armor was similar it was a h the larger one that was down in the workshop

Besides it, there were the usual communication crystal balls, one of them he had lent to Elodia a feeeks before It came equipped with a few battery packs and had a speed dial connection to his workshop

“Bring it over then, I can use it without the support items”

Bernir was quick to move with the crystal ball over Nore needed to use specialized runic devices However, Roland was the one that made this one and had the requiredball made it into his hand he injected sohtly before cal a close-up of Elodia’s nose

“You don’t need to lean so closely to it…”

“Ah…”

He shtly under his helmet as he saw her jolt away to make her face fully visible The crystal ball that was in the orphanage was hidden away in a sturdy cupboard Thus after opening it Elodia usually just leaned down really closely without realizing that it would e

There was a solution for this, if he iolemic eye it could function as a webcam Crystal balls came equipped with this feature as a default so no one really bothered to change the design Perhaps it was a quality-of-life upgrade but it would still be hard to sell it to people that were used to the old technology

“I see that you are safe, are you all at your house?”

“Yes, Lobelia is with us"

For afrom behind Elodia which made it hard to hear Elodia wasn’t the only person in the roo kids had never really had the chance to play with a ic device like this, thus they continued to ask questions with eyes wide open

“Hey, is that Uncle Wayland?”

“Is it, why is he wearing that funny helh, everyone out of the room!”

“Booo!”

He could hear Lobelia’s voice squabbling with some of the orphans Luckily within a few minutes, they were able to clear out the room and he could finally talk to her in private

“How is it? Did they lock down the city?”

“Yes they did, they sounded the warning bell and aren’t letting people leave the city, Lobelia was outside, the soldiers are forcing people to go back to their houild doing about it? Are they organizing so?”

“There was an

Announce to form a Militia, and Armand decided to join it”

It seee Armand as always probably saw it as a chance to show off however he wasn’t that stupid He must have been convinced that Elodia and the kids would be safe in the orphanage otherwise, he would have stayed with them

“He did? That’s like him, what of the outside did they spot any undead?”

“Yes but they had ates, they are reassuring everyone that this won’t take long… but what about you? Are you safe?”

“I’h I didn't expect Bernir to show up, Dyana ed to calm down but she understands”

Roland nodded as he knew that Bernir’s and Dyana’s success and livelihood were tied to his workshop If it was overrun by undead creatures then it would take a while to recover

“Don’t worry, the skeletons are relatively weak, there won’t be a probleh”

Elodia nodded but he wasn’t sure if she believed him In reality, he wasn’t sure how this predica but there were a lot of them Then there were the superior undead that were quite troublesoet spicy

“Are you sure? Wouldn’t it be better if you co later, there is no reason to put yourself in danger”

“No reason huh?”

Roland knew that if he just went back to the city then everything would probably be fine Everything would probably work out in one way or another, his hoht not even be destroyed as as iround workshop and not as above
