Chapter 124: Why they need more defense
[3rd floor, 12th city: ]
The final preparations were coming to an end in the city.
The towering walls were ornamented with weapons of war: magical torrents that would rain elemental spells on the enemies, ballistas that rained heavy boulders, giant automatic crossbows...
The walls were fortified with magic scrolls and sturdy spines laced with dangerous poison that further enhanced the protection.
The magic on this floor wasn’t as good as what one might find on the higher floors, but it was still beyond the reach of the new players.
With the natives in the center, the players had helped natives create a series of traps in the vicinity of the city walls, traps that would prove fatal against the monsters.
The magic and items weren’t the only things that the players worked with during the preparation for the Red Night.
They shared their own resources, weapons, and knowledge about various things that helped the natives.
The knowledge of explosives, hand-held weapons like guns, and much more.
The interaction of the two civilisations was something that was happening for the first time, but thanks to the various efforts of the association, things went on pretty well.
Now, the final battle of the floor on the horizon, everything was coming to a close slowly...
People moved through the streets in hushed flurries, like birds fleeing a coming storm.
