76 Traps (1/2)

Time passed, every soldier and monster was geared from head to toe, the walls around us were turned into stone bricks, and the land within the garrison was filled with huts and all types of stations for production of any supply.

'It has been 29 days by now' looking around I sighed, I miss my family and my world huh…

Looking at the walls, I smiled because this was my effort of training to dismantle the walls covering the previous city and bring it over here to reinforce the walls into double layers.

Walking around the garrison, soldiers began to greet me as they were training with iron swords and shields covered in a full armor made out of the combination of iron and threads. This armor is a great creation done by the goblins who seems to be smart with creating anything literally.

Catapults filled the top of the walls while the soldiers who were keeping a lookout with the help of the monsters were pacing back and forth. Beastmen have been fighting barehanded following my way of combat which I forced every soldier to learn, including the monsters.

Within the past 29 days, we made the entire hill into an impregnable fortress, and I don't know what I will face, I prepared for every situation including an invasion done by millions of soldiers. Supplies were everywhere, and the soldiers were trained for many cases in the harshest conditions.

Standing in front of the training ground I watched as the soldiers were training their endurance, forced to carry their full armor which weighs 60kg and run while swiping their blades left and right. Traps were popping up from each side, and the soldiers wouldn't dodge them but hold their shields and crouch behind each other to make the impact less effective.

Looking at their performance, I picked up a shield and a sword before moving to the training ground and stopped their training. ”Stop the training and gather within the middle,” I said with a smile as the soldiers in the training ground gathered together into a formation without wasting time.

Holding the shield tight, I strap on the belt of the shield on my arms and grip on the handle of the sword, ”Attack me, all of you” I said as the soldiers rushed towards me with their weapons.

Cling! Clang! I reflected swords before using the shield to hit one of the soldiers, sending him flying towards his comrades. I gained an interest in the sword and shield as it was one of the best morale boosters for the troops, every time I notice them feeling exhausted, I would hit the sword on the shield, and with the noise caused from it, the soldiers will straighten up and feel more motivated.

As I was fighting the soldiers, a scout came in a rush while riding on top of a wolf, his face was pale, and his entire body was full of sweat.

”Emergency! Emergency! Clear the way!” The scout screamed as he reached the training ground before jumping off his wolf and saluting.

”Report!” I said as I looked at the scout, the scout took a deep breath before speaking ”Waves, monsters of all kinds! They are beyond the ruins of the city walls… huf... Huf… we have less than a day before impact!”

I nodded ”Go get something to eat and drink, you deserve it!” patting him on the back. I looked at the soldiers behind me who heard everything.

”Sir! Should I call the captains?” The werewolf who was standing far came close and asked. ”Go call them and send someone to ring the bells eight times.”

Walking towards the large camp within the middle of the fortress, I noticed people rushing around, I opened the tent and entered before seeing it empty. Moving towards the table, a chair stood tall in the middle, and I took my seat on it before placing my head on my hands to support it.
