"Start throwing rocks," I shouted as I already saw my victory in my hands.
"Ding Dong! Don't be so happy! This is just the first castle here and there are four more to conquer if you wanted to get back alive."
"Hahaha, don't worry my damned system, I won't die here."
""
I then watched my giant showering the entire castle with rocks. I felt the system frustration, and I was pretty sure other castles wouldn't be harder than this one here.
It only would take much ti, and little effort to completely clear everything. But as long as there was a way, I wouldn't complain.
It seed that the lizard was the boss and heart of this castle. After only two hours, the monsters grew restless and started to go out of the devastated walls and try to attack us.
Yet they were all smashed long before they could reach us. In less than five hours, the entire world ushered under complete silence, and I finally won this fight.
"To the castle," I shouted with excitent while my giant ran towards the front. It didn't take twenty minutes for him to reach the castle, and he landed inside as the first to step inside it.
The place was in ruin. Calling it a ruined place was an understatent. Everything was crushed and no building stood erect anymore except for a few scattered here and there.
And they were just the lucky ones to receive only a couple of hits from my giant. Even these had many wounds in their bodies, and I just sighed when I saw this scene.
"You outdone this, y'know," I sighed.
"I couldn't aim correctly from that far," he said in an apologizing tone.
"Don't worry," I muttered, "what I need is to make others search this place upside down and salvage everything we could have."
I didn't wait for the army to arrive as I ordered my giant to start clearing the place. With his help, and when the army arrived, clearing the place beca sothing we could achieve faster than I expected.
After three hours the place looked clean. "Alright, go and search for anything valuable," I ordered, "let's see what this place holds as secrets."
I didn't expect to find everything valuable here, but at least I would take a glimpse on what was waiting for in the end.
And in less than ten minutes, the good news started to pour in and I had my smile wide for a long ti, making my face ache from this.
"Amazing," I laughed when I saw all the books piled around , "many scientific principles are here. Thanks system for your kind advice from before. By these I can start building my real empire, hehehe."
"Ding Dong! You need first to get out alive!"
I sensed the hatred in my system's voice. "Don't worry about that, I can take care of myself pretty well," I chuckled.
"Ding Dong! We'll see," he simply said and I felt he was preparing a big disaster for sowhere on the long road ahead.
"You bastard! You never get tired of trying to sche against !" I cursed with anger yet the system didn't respond to my provocation.
And that made sure of the trap he lied ahead. "It seems I have to rest here well before moving on," I took a quick glance again over the piles of books here before taking them all inside my inventory. "There will be ti for you babies to shine," I promised while waiting for other books to co.
"My lady, we found a secret room underneath," suddenly Jen ca running from far away and shouting with such excitent over her face.
"What's there?" I asked while taking the books away.
"Weapons," she hurriedly said, "many weapons of different forms and great numbers."
This ti I jumped off my place, even hitting a couple piles of books on the sides to make them fall. I didn't care about them right now, as this discovery of the armory was much important for at the mont.
"This" I stood in front of the smashed doors of the underground armory, "this is huge!" I laughed while moving my eyes everywhere I could see. I entered with the rest of my army leaders who were feeling the sa way as I did.
There were swords, shields, spears, helts, literally everything piled on top of each other while the best thing was they ca to suit the giants in my army and also the humans!
All weapons ca in different sizes and that made laugh. The underground armory started with a little room which we broke into, but from it I found many rooms filled with weapons and different war items.
"This is built entirely under the grand scale of the castle," I figured this out after walking for an hour inside. The weapons were sharp, new, and ready to be used.
"Go and bring in your boys, take everything and army ourselves with these," I shouted with a big laugh, "it's ti to make you guys real monsters, hahahaha."
The only thing that I regretted was the lack of any special weapon like my old beloved artifacts. "Damn, if all of these were artifacts," I dreamt and laughed while watching others taking out everything.
"My lady, there is a strange room here," Omad suddenly spoke before adding, "it's filled with sheets of papers," he weirdly tried to describe the content of that room.
"Take there," I demanded and when I reached the room, I found it wasn't only one but an entire sector here.
"Let's see" I held on paper and the mont I did I suddenly recalled sothing I heard long back in the ga. "Scrolls these are magic scrolls" I hurriedly moved my eyes around, "there are thousands of these amazing!"
"Do you know what these sheets of paper are for?" Dredly ca to ask as he was also puzzled by the scrolls, "for they are shitty pieces of paper."
"These are mighty weapons for our wars," I laughed before adding, "all you need to do is to cut them in half and then they'll be activated. Oh wait" I paused before hurrying to read the content. "Damn! The rules have changed."
"What rules?" Omad asked in confusion.
"The rules of the scrolls," I sighed before adding, "you'll need to recite a certain mantra before activating it. but the good news is they won't dissipate after using."
The two glanced weirdly at like they were hearing about a myth. "Don't worry, you'll soon see their wrath," I laughed before adding, "bring everything in these rooms, I'll safe keep them for all of you."
For , this gain wasn't any lesser than the weapons in this armory. But the reciting part seed to be out of context here. "I need to first make them morize the words," I sighed, as this seed a mission to be used in later ti.
But at least I could use them, and also Lisely could. "I should hold her back for a little," I muttered as I had to safeguard slightly against things I couldn't match yet.
As they started to clear this sector, other sectors revealed another type of weapons.
"These" I held a group of flags and didn't know what to call these. "Are they used to deliver ssages?"
"We know nothing at all about this," Dredly sighed as this was the second thing he saw here that didn't make any sense to him.
"Sigh, I should seek soone's help then," I evilly smiled before adding, "system, I want to pay the corresponding price to know the value of these flags."
"Ding Dong! Are you sure? This knowledge will cost you a thousand pearl!"
The corners of my eyes twitched, yet when I related this with the evil trap of my system up ahead, I realized my system was trying to use my love for pearls against .
He was afraid of getting my hands over these flags and using them. They must be a mighty weapon then.
"I agree," I simply said.
"Ding Dong! What?"
"You heard ," I laughed as it seed he didn't expect my answer to be like this. "deduct the one thousand pearl and give my answer."
He waited for a long minute before I repeated my request again.
"Ding Dong! Alright, it's an array. Used in wars to make different effects."
He stopped and I waited, "Is that it?" I weirdly glanced at nowhere before hearing his voice again.
"Ding Dong! That's the answer for the price you paid. If you want more, you'll need to pay ten thousand pearls next ti."
"Cheater!" I shouted in fake anger before taking the flag in my hand, "at least I know this isn't a way to deliver ssages."
I glanced over the flags in hand before saying, "take these and make every race in my army to inspect it. if they couldn't find how this works, we'll have to test them live on the battlefield."
"Alright," Omad and Dredly made their subordinates take a large number of these flags as they vanished, trying to discover what these arrays were used for.
And for , I simply waited here for the final result of this.
As I waited there, I started to try to decipher these arrays. Everything I tried was for nothing, I couldn't know how to make these flags release their hidden might.
I waited, but during the next couple of hours I got no response back and in return my army found another special place that we all recognized its content.
Siege weapons!
An entire sector was filled with giant siege weapons. There were siege towers, catapults, and even giant spear thrower and so other wall defenses like oil sprayers.
