The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 46 (1/2)

「Now then, I want to set up Talosheim’s defenses」(Vandalieu)

Using the contents of the discussion that had taken place on the day Eleanora had been accepted a his companions, Vandalieu and the others set to work

Fro the evil God had subordinates in positions of poithin the Mirg shi+eld-nation including the (currently ex-)Marshal, and they even had subordinates in the Orbaudom

It was uncertain how th the Pure-breed Va Vandalieu, but in the worst-case scenario, the Va shi+eld-nation’s army could send troops to Talosheim

The only thing sturdy about Talosheiainst an ar hidden ht be impossible as well

If Vandalieu was on his own, he would have the option of escaping while he could, but if the enedom, there was no place that he was completely safe on this continent

Of course, because Vandalieu needed to ensure the safety of the Undead titans and Ghouls who lived in Taloshei himself from them was nonexistent

『There aren’t any cowards here ould drive you out for their own safety!』(Borkus)

「That is correct, Holy Son We will continue fighting, even if we quite literally have our flesh and entrails severed and our bones broken!」(Nuaza)

「I’ree Vandalieu, we’d be in trouble without you」(Vigaro)

「Indeed; if the Magic Iteain face problems with fertility Even if we leave thatin order to achieve temporary safety?」(Zadiris)

Borkus, Nuaza, Vigaro and Zadiris made it clear that this was not an option

It wasn’t as if Vandalieu didn’t want to protect Talosheio to the Orbaudom eventually, but he planned to at least return for a visit once a year or once every few years

Even if he moved away to chase his dreams, he wanted there to be a home for him to return to That was how he felt

「Thank you Well then, ill set up a system that will hold just fine even if we’re attacked by an ar Va or early summer, or mid-summer at latest」(Vandalieu)

「『「「Are you insane?!」」』」(Everyone)

「No, I’m desperate and out of my mind」(Vandalieu)

Birkyne and the other Vampires who had sent Eleanora’s party here would be suspicious at the sudden lack of contact, realize that they had failed and take the next step

Well, it was unlikely that they would suddenlyits troops here because of that, but they would at least try to gather more detailed information about Talosheim

And once they learned about Talosheihly likely that they would realize that dispatching a few Vareater effort to crush the city

「Thith… This【Golem Transmutation】, nobody can use it except for Vandalieu-sa aside the Mana problems, it’s impossible for alchee their shape freely The sa the Undead」(Eleanora)

This hat Eleanora had said

If the Pure-breed Vampires discovered that Vandalieu possessed these abilities, they would try to kill him at all costs

「That’s a bit of an overreaction The three Pure-breed Vampires can tame Undead as well, can’t they?」(Vandalieu)

As Vandalieu asked this question, Eleanora, as having trouble pronouncing words because of the new piercing in her tongue, shook her head

「Birkyne’s group can’t tame them Ternecia and Gubamon are the ones who mainly use Undead, and they can turn corpses into Undead and control them, but they can’t control creatures who have already turned Undead」(Eleanora)

It seemed that the Undead controlled by the Pure-breed Vampires were those created the Dead if it had already become an Undead without their intervention

「So if they discovered that Vandalieu-saed Especially Gubamon」(Eleanora)

「I see」(Vandalieu)

The【Sword King】Borkus was one of the heroes that Gubamon had wanted, but noas already an Undead Vandalieu had even gathered the scattered bone frag】to restore it, so claiment of Borkus would be impossible

Vandalieu didn’t knohat kind of personality Gubaed to learn that a mere Dhampir had stolen one of the heroes that he had wanted in his collection

Vandalieu found it satisfying to know this, but felt that it would be unreasonable for Gubaet so serious over it

He wanted to go on the offensive so that he wouldn’t lose to such an unreasonable person, but that was difficult Like the Vampires, Vandalieu and his companions would find it difficult to cross the Boundary Mountain Range now In addition, the Vampires orshi+pped the evil God possessed numerous bases and Eleanora didn’t know the locations of all of them

After co on the offensive wasn’t a realistic plan, Vandalieu set out about addressing the probleh numbers

Talosheiinally been a fortress city-nation of five thousand titans Of course, this h for a population of five thousand to live inside the city’s walls

However, there were only a thousand Undead titans Even including the Ghouls and monsters of the new races Vandalieu had created, there were less than two thousand of them

Creating a flawless defense with these nuue or need to sleep, it was possible to have them keep permanently keep watch, but Vandalieu didn’t want to ask them to do this The Undead needed riches and pleasure in their day to day lives as well

So the first thing he did was increase the number of Golems he had at his disposal

「Get up, go」(Vandalieu)

He went to Garan’s Valley and mined the stone The method he used was to directly turn the stone walls into Golems and have the a lot of Mana, this method was very easy

「A, Holy Son」(titan)

『Doesn’t thatour jobs?』(titan)

「Because there’s no ti here today until this place becomes known as Garan’s Pit instead of Garan’s Valley」(Vandalieu)

「… We’re actually going to lose our jobs」(titan)

「No, we’re actually going to have more work」(titan)

『Really?』(titan)

As the Undead titan stonemason said, their workload had sharply increased

Because they would be turning these new Golems into ornaments

「I’ to attach these Goles I want you to work on thelance」(Vandalieu)

『That’s quite fancy We don’tthat? Will it ?』(titan)

「No, it won’t They’ll just look like decorations」(Vandalieu)

The stonemasons looked puzzled, but once the decorated Golems were actually set in place, the effect would be clear

Sis would be sufficient as a defense against intruders But Goles would look like simple ornaments, and Golems embedded into the walls which had also been thickened would look like mere sculptures

If an enemy army tried to close in on the defenseless walls, they could be taken by surprise by the ene forth from the walls

「And I can do things like have the sculptures keep up their act, wait for the enemy to set up ladders to climb the walls and then make them destroy the ladders」(Vandalieu)

『Th-that’s dirty…』(titan)

「Holy Son, will the fortress and buildings not beco?」(titan)

「I’ll addup the Golems, so it will be fine Also, the Gole, so they’ll be things like faces and eyes」(Vandalieu)

「With that, it will be unlikely that the enemy will destroy them」(titan)

Vandalieu had thought of the idea frouards and cameras would be positioned in inconspicuous places

And I don’t have to pay any attention to the Goleuards and ca on me

It would improve Talosheim’s scenery as well, so there were only benefits to this method

Further too much of the stone cliffs in Garan’s Valley would cause them to become unable to mine any more stone for a while It was as if there was a transparent barrier that created a dead end, preventing hi any further It looked like he could continue forward, but the background scenery ht as well have been painted on a solid wall

But the Dungeon would return to normal in a few days’ ti out

The others weren’t taking it easy while Vandalieu and the stonemasons worked busily

「I’erous I want everyone to place the Golems and Undead that I made to keep watch in the places that I tell you」(Vandalieu)

They were strengthening their defenses, but the fact that they didn’t knohen enemies would come would be a source of insecurity and inconvenience That hy Vandalieu requested that Golems be stationed to keep watch

There were three possible routes that enemies could take

「Leave it to me, Vandalieu-sama」(Eleanora)

The first was the route that Eleanora had used to cross the e This route was relatively safe, but many of Sercrent’s Subordinate Va the way

Only noble-born Vaer than them would be able to use this route safely Eleanora declared that this route would be absolutely impossible for normal humans to use

Considering that, Eleanora realized just how abnore with six hundred Ghouls and not sustained a single casualty

『Is there a need to watch this area as well?』(Zran)

「Zran, there are Vadom as well」(Vandalieu)

The second was the tunnel that led to the Hartner duchy in the Orbaudom It was collapsed for now, but it could be reconstructed froh it

If the First Princess was still alive on the other side, there was no guarantee that the Vas for her home country

And the third route was the most difficult

『So you want us to look for a tunnel that connects to the Mirg shi+eld-nation Does such a thing even exist?」(Zran)

「I can’t rule out that possibility」(Vandalieu)

There were no legends that said there were tunnels in theshi+eld-nation But since there was one that led to the Orbauh chance that there was one that had not yet been discovered

It would be a tunnel over a hundred thousand years old, after all Back then, the Aht have been constructed even before the Goddess Vida created the Vampires

If that were the case, it made sense to think that tunnels would have been built to the west as well as the east Who could have built such tunnels was still a mystery, however

They would have to traverse lands full of Devil’s Nests with uncontrolled monster populations to search for ruins that could be anywhere Borkus would lead Vigaro and Zadiris in perfor this task, and even Bone Wolf and the other Undead would be dispatched so that they would be fully prepared

『I don’t mind, but make sure you haveforto make adventurers work, you have to reward them』(Borkus)

「Do you like katsuobushi+?」(Vandalieu)

『Yeah, it ood ingredient Don’t need to put any effort in』(Borkus)

The katsuobushi+ was an unfinished product that was si sood addition to soups

「I want to perfect katsuobushi+ by the end of the year, too」(Vandalieu)

『It’s i forward to the finished product』(Borkus)

「Leaving that aside, I’ll be having you place Goblin Skeleton skulls, Rock Goleuised as dead branches」(Vandalieu)

All of them were objects that could be held in one hand They were also things that would not be strange to find lying around anywhere

If the【Appraisal】spell was cast they would be discovered, but surely nobody would go around casting this spell on every rock, branch and Goblin skull lying on the ground

The led violently to survive nobody would have the time to do that

Well, there was a chance that a Goleh to be destroyed by a stray monster, but that hy they would be placed in sets of three If one of them were to break, they simply needed to be replaced

Incidentally, Vandalieu had decided to abandon the route used by the Mirg shi+eld-nation’s ar to Eleanora, a pair of Hurricane Dragons inhabited the area surrounding that route

In order to sions above Rank 10 and win in an environile cliffs, a party of S-class adventurers would need to be formed This would be difficult for the current Amid Empire, even if they expended all of their resources to do so

It would be difficult for the Vampires as well Eleanora had said that it would be possible for a Pure-breed Vans of such a battle would likely be visible froht, explosions and the sound of parts of thewould be very noticeable

It was also possible for eneions of the Bahn Gaia continent and then pass through the Boundary Mountain Range from there, but apparently it would be suicidal for even a Pure-breed Vaions

「Those regions contain Dragons and Giants of even higher Ranks than those found in the e, and there is even apparently a Palace of Demons」(Eleanora)

There were also countless unexplored Devil’s Nests and large organizations of monsters such as noble Orc Empires

They weren’t exactly Vandalieu’s allies, but they served as a very effective protective wall

Well, because of theo and look for the Vampires orshi+pped Vida

「Well then, please get to work」(Vandalieu)

It took less than a month for all of these tasks to be co to the Mirg shi+eld-nation Vandalieu would have Eleanora and Zran’s party join up with Borkus’s and continue searching for this one-hundred-thousand-year-old tunnel

「While they’re doing that, we’re going to build a second and third outer wall Also, ill be developing weapons」(Vandalieu)

『Bocchan, are you planning to work yourself to death?』(Saria)

「It’s alright, I’ll rest properly on my days off」(Vandalieu)

The only ones who had visited Talosheim in the last two hundred years were Vandalieu and the Ghouls, and the Vampires led by Eleanora And apart from Eleanora, all of the Vampires were now dead

It wouldn’t be easy to immediately tell that the nuhtly different appearance

The second ould be built sturdy like the first, Goleh which arrows could be fired would be included

The third ould be tall enough to conceal the first and second walls, but constructed in a way that would ile and easily collapsible
