BXBX NOVEL Chapter 219 Territory Demarcation
"you have no idea how glad I am to here you say that".
It was visible from Orun\'s expression, how content he is with the choice made by the Wyverns.
They displayed to him, their loyalty and acceptance, and he, will gracefully accommodate their feelings by reciprocating it.
"so, what is the plan".
"well first, we have to make it so that our territory cannot be invaded by just anyone".
Orun in a split second, left the Wyvern leader in dust and covered a distance of more than three-hundred miles, and got to the border separating the human territory from the desert that is now his territory.
He breathed in and out slowly, then placed his hand on the sandy ground, with the sand following through with his movements.
In correspondence to Orun placing his two hands down, the sand bordering the human territory rose up ferociously, like a wave about to swallow a land whole.
"Sand Desert Wall".
The sand surged up overwhelmingly, washing itself in the direction of the border, and when it got there, it towered above the trees, with pieces rain down like grains.
The way the sand were moving, was similar to how waves rises in an ocean, as one comes down, another one immediately follows, with every waves that follows becoming more massive than the last.
When it had gotten to a length that Orun considered tall enough, he took his palm off the ground, and folded it tightly in, and the sand waves in response to his actions, hardened itself.
The countless sand that were in splited grains, steeled into one hardened form, like bricks but stronger and smoother looking, taking on the color of the coarsh sand, and standing as a demarcation, separating the desert from the human territory.
The size of the sand wall was massive, and it\'s height reaching above the sky, causing an illusion that would make one think the tip of the wall is in direct contact with the cloud.
The wall was made using the sand from the desert, and its durability is strong enough to withstand an attack capable of leveling a city with one-hundred thousand population, not that he has tried it to confirm, only basing it on Oracle\'s confirmation.
"this should do it".
Orun was satisfied with the wall he had crafted out to prevent any human from aimlessly wandering into their territory.
He made sure the whole of the desert was covered by the wall, from both south, east, north, and west, of the desert, none of it was left untouched.
This was made possible with Oracle acting as a measuring tool to discern the distance that the desert extends all the way to, and transporting that information into Orun, to evaluate the distance he would need to cover during the wall building.
He saw, that the overall desert territory, was four and a half times the size of the dungeon that he was born in.
"covering such a distance took nothing out of me".
The amount of mana he had used in the construction of the wall, was an unnoticeable amount compared to his total mana after his evolution.
Orun turned against the wall, and made his way back to the Wyvern pack who were waiting for him.
"did I keep you guys waiting long".
Orun with the same speed that he used to move away from their midst, used it to get back to them.
"that is your doing is it not".
She said, pointing to the sand wall that had been erected from out of nowhere.
"yes. I did it to avoid having any uninvited guest barge into our territory".
"but, isn\'t that a little too extreme".
The Wyvern leader had her head raised up in the direction of the wall, trying to see if she could get to the very top of it from where she stood.
She wondered if there is any amongst the human kind with the ability to breach through the distance from the wall to the ground.
"i made it that tall because I don\'t fully trust the human leader just yet".
Last time Orun talked to the Emissary, he seemed hesitant to accept his proposal, and definitely does not strike Orun as the sort of man who would be willing to see the monster kind thrive.
"on to the next thing on the list to prepare for when setting up an empire".
"food, water, shade. There is a lot of things to prepare for in a place like this".
"those are all important necessities, but not what I was going to say".
"what were you going to say".
She wondered what could be more important than securing for themselves, the basic necessities that will ensure their survival in this barren land.
Unless they find a way to secure food for themselves, the pack would not last long in the desert, especially when there is no source of water around.
They also like to inhabit high grounds due to the nature of their specie, but the desert, has no high ground to provide them with, a flat land filled entirely with sand.
She could not think of anything more important in ensuring their survival rate than the list she had just given to him.
"manpower. That is what we need now".
The Wyvern leader thought for a while before replying.
"you have a point. Our numbers are not enough to cover the vast area of the territory, we will need more. But if we plan on recruiting more numbers to what we already have, we have to think of how they will survive".
The Wyvern leader agreed with Orun\'s plan about the need for more manpower, but she also made it clear that to carry it out, they have to first solve the basic necessity they are in need of.
The pack is yet to figure out what to feed on, already contemplating about bringing in more people without having a way to feed those that are still present, is not the way to go.
"we do need that, but that is not the kind of manpower I am referring to".
"if it\'s not, then what is".
"you guys. I am talking about evolving you all first".
