The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 541: Building Bases for Defense

“Alright. It’s great that we will receive more reinforcement. But I don’t think we should transport them here. Maybe we should get them to the second base or the third base from this place,” I suggested.

For this fake village, including me, there won’t be many people defending this place. Maybe it should just be me, Shelia, and Arin. As for Graham, he’s in the capital already guarding the the city. Though I can summon him anytime I want.

He’s there in case someone needed treatment with healing magic. And he can fight as well, so it will be good if he can protect the others over there.

Though when I brought him to the capital, I heard from Sonia that Albert told Graham to go to another location where it’s likely that a battle will occur. Another place where the cult will come from. I don’t know how Albert can predict where they will come from, but that’s fine. Whether he’s right or wrong, we just need to be prepared of all situation.

After Graham saw the status of his own sister, he became absorbed with rage. He needed some rest to calm down, so even if there’s no enemies to fight at the place he’s protecting, it should be fine. But I told him that during the day of the final match, I might summon him without any warning. Until then, he can rest if there are no enemy coming to his place.

As for his sister, I left her to the others in the Monster Village. With the angels protecting her, I hope her mind will return someday.

“If we consider this fake village as the first defensive base, I think it’s best to put half of the reinforcement from Arturo in the third base, and the other half in the fourth base. Once Celestine and Sara finished installed the Blobbies at the place where we will build the bases, we will get some soldiers from this side over there. And Master can transport the reinforcement from Arturo, and have the soldiers inform them about the plan and everything else,” Kayla suggested.

.....

“In the end, I’m the one with the most work. Well, for this fake village, just me, Shelia, and Arin should be enough to hold for a few minutes and capture a lot of children. Once I feel that I had enough and used a lot of mana, the three of us will move to the next base. Get ready to prepare a lot of mana potions for me,” I said.

I feel like I will drink a lot of mana potions until my stomach burst. I hope it won’t come to that.

Soon after waiting, Sonia returns with the news that Celestine and Sara found a good place to make the base closest from here. And I move there along with everyone, leaving behind Shelia and Arin, and also Elsie to look out for the enemy. With Shelia over there, I don’t need to have Blobbies in the fake village. Though I still have one in case I need to go there.

The soldiers helped building the base. It’s not much since we only want to reduce their numbers and capture the children here. But from the next base after this, we will be more serious in building a base complete with walls and probably moats as well. Although the enemy might have ice mages or earth mages that can build a bridge to cross, it’s still good that we can waste their mana.

I still didn’t hear any report from Shelia about the enemy, so I rested until Sara and Celestine found another place to make the next base.

With Sara’s good vision, she can find a good place quickly. And Celestine’s earth magic is useful to build some walls. As for the rest of the buildings, the other earth mages can do it.

After five minutes of rest, they found another place. This time, I left about fifty people consisting of the soldiers, few angels, and werewolves. They will be the second defense after the fake village with me.

After moving to the next base, I opened another portal to bring Carmen and the reinforcement from Arturo. Though there’s one other person that want to come.

“No! You are not allowed to come here if you can’t participate in the battle! You will just be a waste of my mana if I need to transport you again!” I said to Fabio, the new king of Arturo.

“Oh, sorry. I’ll just stay here in Arturo then. Mother, please do your best!” Fabio told Carmen to do her best. Carmen smiled seeing that.

“He’s such a momma’s boy. And you, even though you’re the former queen now that Harold is no longer the king, aren’t you busy?” I asked Carmen casually.

And that casual way of talking was not appreciated by the soldiers of Arturo who never even know me.

“You! Don’t use that way of talking to her highness!”

“Do you want to die that badly!”

Do these guys not even know who they are talking to?

“Are you sure you want to fight? You guys who got tricked and never realized your king has been swapped by a fake, against me who noticed that and helped the four kingdoms fight against the cult?”

Maybe because I’m tired, I feel like everyone who doesn’t like me is enemy. And these guys who just appear make me want to kill them.

“Don’t do that to our benefactor! If not for him, our kingdom would be destroyed by the cult without us knowing about it! I’m sorry Roy, they still don’t know you yet. Fabio has told them about you, but they don’t believe it yet. And probably after seeing how you treat Fabio like that, their impression of you is already bad,” Carmen apologized for her soldiers.

“...Yeah, I’m sorry too. I’m just too tired and don’t want to hear anyone complaining. We lost many good people and these guys just appear and started complaining. Anyway, just get to work. For this base, I want you, the earth mages, and the water mages, to make a moat surrounding this base. Make it so this base look important and have something to hide. The moat is useless in defensive battle against mages anyway, but that’s fine. It’s just for show. Good thing there’s a river over there as well. You can dig a path from the river to this place,” I ordered Carmen and everyone here.

While I just close my eyes to rest and wait until Sara and Celestine found another place, or a report that Elsie found the enemies, I can hear the soldiers who have been with us are complaining to the reinforcements about how wasteful their magic is and they will be useless in the war if they can’t make it more efficient. I think making the moat is useful to show these soldiers from Arturo how it’s done. To learn about magic control and to not make them get cocky. New chapters are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

So what if they saved their kingdom from the fake king? It’s because we from behind the scene has prepared plans and strategies for it. Now they are truly in a war, they finally realize how weak and useless they are.

It won’t be long until the next wave of enemy is coming. I don’t know how good these soldiers from Arturo will be, but I hope they are not here only to be killed by the enemies.

Soon after, Sonia appears telling me that Sara and Celestine found the next place to be the base. And seems like there will be another one and that will be the last one.

“So, the fake village, the second base, this third base, the next fourth base, and the last fifth base before reaching the capital, huh? I think that’s more than enough places to reduce the number. In the capital, their number will be a lot less,” I said.

“Yes. And the distance from the fourth to the fifth is quite far. And the fifth to the capital is even further. There’s no other good place to create bases after that,” Sonia said. Seems like Sara learned about the geography of this country already. Maybe it’s thanks to Celestine as well since she was born here.

The two of them are great combination for this mission.

“So, two more bases until I can return to the fake village and rest, huh? Man, I’m tired,” I said to myself as I transported a large number of people to the fourth base.

“You worked more than anyone else to this day. And you will still have a lot of work after that. This war is sure tiring even to an Aura user who has a lot of stamina,” Victoria said.

“Yeah, but this is still better. In my past life, there were no time at all to rest. The enemy will just appear all of a sudden and we have no choice but to fight no matter how tired we were. But now, with how united the four kingdoms are, and with my Divine Vision, we can be a bit more relaxed,” I said.

If only Luna, the princess of Arturo kingdom who can see the future is older, we can use her ability to the fullest. But I don’t want her to use that ability of her too much when she’s still so young. She has seen enough tragedy as it is when she’s still so young.

Maybe if the cult is not destroyed for a few more years... No, I must not think about it. I will try to destroy the cult completely as soon as possible without having the need to ask a child for help.
