Chapter 137
It had been five days since the alliance between humans and dwarves was forged, and the fortress had undergone remarkable changes—both inside and out.
First, the fortress’s appearance itself had transformed.
“…Phew, is this finally done?”
“Ha! Did I really build this?”
If someone who had cleared the 11th floor in the past were to visit this fortress now, they’d likely exclaim, “Is this really the same place?”
The dwarves, realizing that storing all their supplies in a single warehouse was too risky, constructed two additional storage facilities. Now, even if one warehouse were breached, the others would keep the supplies secure.
And the walls… The walls had grown significantly taller. Initially, even the players doubted whether the pointed wooden barriers could be reinforced further. But by carving grooves and fitting them together like a puzzle, the work came together surprisingly well.
“All you did was lay the foundation, you brats. The real beauty of those walls lies within.”
Inside the walls, intricate magical circuits were newly engraved, enhancing the defenses to an unparalleled degree. The dwarves were so confident in their work that they claimed the infamous “madman” wouldn’t stand a chance of scaling the walls now.
