Chapter 747: Plan



Chapter 747: Plan

Jason could have made use of various plans in order to achieve what he wanted inside the second trial.

However, there were too many unknown factors which Jason was unable to find out right now.

Amongst them was the exact strength of the oceanfolk attack wave that was bound to hit them soon.

Other than that, he was also in the dark regarding the combat prowess of the other villages.

This made Jason uncomfortable, but there was not much for him to do about that.

At least, not for now.

He would have to leave the small village in order to find the answers, and this was exactly what he couldn’t do without feeling that he would be making a huge mistake.

Thus, Jason decided to follow the easiest plan, which was to only protect the village he was currently in.

There was something else he planned to do as well, but protecting the small Mewi village was his highest priority right now.

Because of that, Jason had already planned on how to create a proper defensive wall, or to be precise, two walls in order to defend the village.

This required lots of materials, but that was not something they were lacking in.

They had Petri, Artemis, and Solaris as their workforce, after all!

However, even with the three soulbonds, Jason felt that Spyro’s task was even more important.

It was not necessarily the most important task, but Jason wanted Spyro to act as a mode of communication, even if it was a one-sided one.

Being formless, Spyro could split up itself relatively easily, and it didn’t even require much spirit force to be maintained.

Before, Jason had wanted to stay unnoticed while using Spyro to eavesdrop on the Mewi which was the reason he and Spyro had to co-focused in order to control the small droplets of the Spiral Spirit.

Now that this was not required anymore, Spyro could be more generous while splitting up before spreading the droplets across the village.

Through Spyro, Jason wanted to set up a warning system around the river by using Spyro’s subsidiary bodies.

Unfortunately, the range at which Spyro could control its subsidiary bodies was not wide enough.

As such, they had been forced to change their plan a little bit.

Because of that, they had decided to turn Spyro into a radar with the village as its center.

This was extremely important because Spyro could warn Jason about the sudden appearance of uninvited guests before they would even think of coming closer.

Through this, it would be possible for the village to alert every single of the Mewi guards, and those that were able to fight to rush towards their direction.

Splitting up their entire combat force to spread across the two walls that they wanted to create,  would be inefficient.

Thus, with Spyro’s radar, it would help them make use of their defenses while having the biggest combat force at the locations that were most likely to be attacked.

With that plan in mind, everyone was at much more ease when they thought about the attack of the Oceanfolk.

Nobody really knew why they would even attack the valley because the entire territory was far from being the natural environment which they would inhabit.

It was illogical for them to consider inhabiting the valley, even more so considering that the ocean was vast, with much more space than the valley could provide even if it was fairly huge.

This very same reason made Jason feel unsure if it was really the Oceanfolk who was behind the attacks. Apparently, they were simply trying to overwhelm their opponents with numbers too, so that most of the attacking force would die in a single attack wave.

There were only a few existences that would survive the battle, but after a specific period, they would also return to the river they had emerged from.

Afterward, everything would be as if nothing had ever happened.

This was odd, to put it simply, and something Jason had decided to pay attention to while his soulbonds were working relentlessly to procure more materials to construct seemingly simple walls with it.

The Mewi were still utterly dumbfounded about the beasts Jason could call forth from his body, and they had feared this ability for some time.

Yet, after seeing how Petri uprooted gigantic trees, while Solaris neatly cut them with the use of its flames that could even penetrate through energy, they couldn’t help but feel shocked about the efficiency and teamwork of the two beasts.

The transportation process was partially Artemis’ doing because she was neatly picking up the properly cut trees before stacking them on each other.

In addition to that, she added a thick layer of ice below the trees for something Jason wanted to test.

This consumed some of her mana, but it didn’t matter as long as they were working efficiently enough to construct everything they had planned to in the next few days.

Initially, Jason’s help was gladly accepted, but after some time the Mewi villagers began to wonder why an adventurer was going to such lengths to protect them.

Despite that, they knew that it would be the dumbest thing if they were to complain about Jason’s help.

Even the tribe chief agreed to that after seeing how the 150-meter-long Petri pushed the stacked logs of wood over a path of ice, allowing them to slither without too many issues.

When Jason first saw the way in which Petri and Artemis were moving the logs, he could barely hold himself from laughing out loud.

Yet, the more he looked at the situation, the more interesting it seemed because his idea of using ice was working, and that was what mattered in the end.

Nobody would care about the way one achieved something as only the result mattered.

After the first batches of logs had been moved towards the Mewi, they started to use a unique type of cement that they had already created, in order to start building the first defensive wall.

Once that was done, the second wall would be constructed.

However, these were not ordinary walls because their normal defensive capabilities were on par with being at the peak of the Prismar stage.

Those at a lower rank would require some time to break through the walls, or entrance gate as long as they’re unable to fly or jump above the walls.

In the end, Jason and the others created and set quite a few traps too. Most of them were holes with spikes several meters deeper in the ground.

It may not be the best way to defend others, let alone the best type of trap, but it took minimal effort and time and was covered with a thin layer of Artemis’ ice.

This drained some of her mana, but it was a necessity to hide it with leaves so that nobody would ever suspect that there was anything hidden beneath the leaves.

If someone were to even lightly touch the leaves, the paper-thin ice layer would break apart, and one would fall into it.

Considering that most beings among the Oceanfolk were unintelligent according to the Mewi’s intel, Jason didn’t think that many would be able to react fast enough to save themselves.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye as the Mewi along with Jason and his soulbonds continued with the construction of the defensive walls and traps.

In the end, Jason felt that the walls were not perfect, but it was too late to make any changes as he received a report from Spyro’s subsidiary bodies. The oceanfolk had launched their first attack wave which Spyro’s subsidiary bodies had sensed by picking up the movements on the river bank.

“So it has already begun!”
