I stood atop our Wall and watched as thousands of people fell into ranks. Over 800 people stood at the ready at my back and Marcus had even more standing behind him to our South.

The area between the ringed Wall and the Obelisk was filled with all manner of death traps and poisons. Pitfalls, spikes, arcane traps, all covered in thick layers of poison where it was applicable.

Carpenters to shape the wood used, smiths to shape the metal, Trappers to set it all up, and Alchemists to make it even more deadly.

It was the union of five or six different people all to ensure it was at maximum lethality.

And there were thousands of them primed and ready.

The wall itself was devoid of any towers or gates, as there wasn't enough time for the former, and there was no need for the latter. One didn't need gates to keep something out.

The weather only worsened as the timer ticked down, but I paid it no mind. With the amount of magic about to be used, the weather was the least of our worries.

A heavy rainstorm or thunderstorm might actually be useful, rather than harmful.

Thousands of gallons of water were diverted from the river in a hastily built canal. Both Marcus and Abigail worked together to create the reservoir for them and the other Water Mages to use.

With it at our back, all the Water mages would be a lot more powerful. And ice would be readily available for all those who used it.

When the sun did come out, it shined brightly upon the thousands covered in plate. Reflections lit up the area because of the glistening metal and the solar mana continued to gather. Austin would have his own boost.
