Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (92)
Day 3 on the North Wall.
I expected that monsters would rush towards the north wall early in the morning, or even at dawn.
“Pile up rocks behind the gate!”
“Supply the walls with plenty of arrows and oil, and inspect the magic cannons.”
“Melt down all captured weapons and armor except those that are of immediate use so that they can be used.”
The Honwood County was returning to a state of war.
We set up a supply system using the loot and byproducts obtained from the monsters on the north wall.
Unnecessary flesh, leather, and miscellaneous items can be sold through the upper level and used to purchase new items.
The sculpted creature who took on the role of Count Hornwood was honest and intelligent.
His face, height, and basic appearance are 97% similar to Count Hornwood, but the remaining 3% are different.
The look and impression of someone who would be the student body president at a prestigious university.
The appearance was sculpted to give off a model student vibe along with leadership qualities.
The Earl of Hornwood worked all night.
“We must prepare for the battles of not only today, but also tomorrow and the day after!”
Even though we thoroughly prepared for monster attacks, the third day had passed and the monsters did not come.
While the soldiers waiting on the wall were resting, the workers repairing the wall were busy.
“Reinforce the obstacles at the entrance to the north wall and bury the monster’s corpse!”
Tens of thousands of workers continued to work to finish before the battle.
The dwarves who came to help defend the north wall were assigned to strengthening the north wall rather than waiting with their weapons drawn.
While I was working like that, even though it was night, the monsters didn’t come.
“Did we win?”
“The monsters retreated?”
“The north wall is too strong. And the monsters were scared after seeing the garrison captain in action yesterday.”
“I won!”
The soldiers on the wall cheered, and the porters unloaded their loaded carts.
The atmosphere of the North Wall overflowing with the joy of victory.
Weed wasn’t happy at all.
‘If you look at the quest content, it says you have to stop it for 5 days. But you stopped the attack after only 2 days?’
Considering the difficulty of the quest, you can’t let your guard down.
Of course, I didn’t rule out the possibility that the monsters had retreated or had taken a detour to another area.
“They might attack at night. Be prepared!”
“Yes, sir!”
Weed thought it wasn’t too bad as long as no monsters appeared until night.
You only have to last a total of 5 days, but you managed to get through one day for free.
More than half the time had already passed.
‘The north wall is indeed strong.’
(The master has greatly strengthened the power of the North Wall in all aspects. Considering the types of attacks and monsters on the first and second days, the defensive power of the North Wall, and the terrain, you should be able to survive the remaining time without any problems.)
‘Maybe so.’
The mass-produced sculpture lifeform archers were very active.
Because they were shooting arrows nonstop from the walls, a one-sided massacre occurred.
‘It’s nice that the monsters don’t appear, but it’s also a shame.’
So the third day passed and the morning of the fourth day arrived.
The soldiers were well fed with food brought by the people of Honwood County and prepared for battle.
Workers were still helping to defend the north wall, doing a lot of work.
Young soldiers with youthful faces spoke from the walls.
“The monsters aren’t coming today either.”
“I’m sure the monsters have retreated.”
“Even if they invade again, there’s nothing to worry about because the captain is here, but it’s better if they don’t come.”
Weed was feeling strange.
If the monsters don’t attack on the morning of the 4th day, the time you have to hold out will gradually decrease.
Yet, it still feels ominous, like going out with the air conditioning on.
‘I’ve never had anything end so easily in my life.’
Weed used the Sculpture Summoning spell around daytime.
A wasam flapping its wings and making a noise in the middle of the wall.
– Long time no see, Master.
Unlike tentacle monsters and raptors that can be summoned anywhere, wyverns can only be summoned on open plains.
“Let’s go for a quick walk.”
-Okay, master.
I flew up from the north wall while riding Wasami and headed towards the northern plains.
In less than five minutes, we could see an endless army of monsters gathered there.
‘You didn’t go anywhere else.’
(It seems that the will to fight of the barbarian warriors has not disappeared.)
The barbarian warriors, the Behids, were lighting a bonfire, eating food, and sharpening the blades of their weapons.
(It looks like they’re planning to rush in all at once soon.)
To this extent, it was closer to the hardships I had expected.
Considering the defensive power of the northern wall between the rugged mountain ranges, it can withstand a day even if a large number of monsters swarm.
Weed had a solid calculation.
‘Are you planning to gather all your strength and attack properly? Anyway, I’ve bought some time. If this continues, the quest will be successful… . ‘
Just as I was about to say that it was okay.
Far to the north, monsters could be seen splitting left and right.
‘Something’s coming.’
A few guys come, and a huge army of monsters splits left and right like a tidal wave.
That alone is ominous.
(I checked with the highest resolution possible. It’s the Ash Wolf clan. It looks like they’re trying to join the battle at the North Wall.)
The emergence of the Ash Wolf clan, the strongest in the Northern Plains.
Although it was a distance that even the Weeds could see, the artificial intelligence Versa was able to confirm it accurately by increasing the resolution.
(The Ash Wolf Bloodline is basically a werewolf that has acquired sinister powers, making them very strong in combat.)
‘I see. I’ve never had good luck since Royal Road.’
(There’s more bad news.)
‘What is it?’
(The large werewolf in the center has golden fur on its chest. It is the king of monsters, Jekan.)
(Considering historical records, the monsters’ growth, and their relationships with other monsters, the current estimated level is 203.)
* * *
Guardian of the North Wall.
Quest difficulty S+.
Although Weed is different from Royal Road, there was some guesswork about the difficulty of the quests.
‘It’s similar to math. If you say high school 2nd year math, it should be high school 2nd year exam questions.’
(I didn’t know you could use a math analogy. Are you good at math, sir?)
‘I gave up early in middle school. It was easier when I gave up.’
Numbers are only needed to count money.
The Guardian of the North Wall was originally a quest that had the task of holding off a massive influx of monsters for five days.
Considering Weed’s level and the situation on the north wall, it was enough to be called S+ difficulty.
Compared to other users who completed quests in a month, I put in several times more effort and succeeded in strengthening my power by creating fragmented life forms while losing levels.
‘If even Jekan, the king of the Northern Plains monsters, participates, isn’t this a quest that cannot be successful from the start?’
Jekan, level 200.
If the Gray Wolf clan rushes in at level 150, it’s really hard to stop them.
(It is possible that the god of adventure intervened.)
The God of Adventure was always the target of abuse from all users whenever a quest was not easily completed.
(Or there may have been changes to the quest.)
‘Why?’
(The Gray Wolves enjoy fighting the strong. They believe that only the strong have the right to rule over them, and the leader of the clan is also the strongest wolf.)
‘then…….’
(The master may have defeated the monsters on the first and second days too overwhelmingly. Therefore, it is highly likely that he summoned the ash wolves, which would not have moved originally.)
As a result, the situation has drawn in belligerent gray wolves.
(There is a silver lining though.)
‘What is it?’
(Ash wolves are actually werewolves. It’s a little-known fact, but they are under a very special curse.)
(It’s a curse that activates when you kill a human.)
A ferocious force that can be displayed when fighting any monster, and can devour the hearts of living opponents.
However, due to a curse placed on the race itself, killing a human causes their health and strength to be reduced by half for a certain period of time.
(This may also be the reason why the Gray Wolves did not directly attack the human kingdom.)
(This information is currently known only to a small number of users.)
Weed’s head turned quickly.
I’ve made it through Inferno difficulty level 8, but the day is approaching when I’ll have to finish creating my character and get serious about Roanoke.
First, users who started Roanoke, guilds with powerful forces.
In order to operate among them, you have no choice but to become strong… … .
A quest with a difficulty level of S+ that was virtually a success.
The king of the monsters added here, Jekan.
‘If this is the case, then wolf hunting is the key.’
Weed spared no expense in saving the lives of the soldiers of the North Wall, the mercenaries, the elves, and the dwarves during the first and second days of battle.
They had to maintain their power to survive the remaining days.
But if the situation had changed, it would have been okay to sacrifice the soldiers of the North Wall or other races.
‘If you hunt the king of monsters, the ash wolf, you can get experience points, loot, and even battle achievements.’
(Wouldn’t it be a good idea to wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth?)
* * *
The God of Adventure, Trinity, is watching over this quest.
Sarasvati, the goddess of art, is watching over this quest.
The god of battle, Rakkis, is watching over this quest.
Volkan, the god of fire and forges, is watching over this quest.
The ruler of the abyss is looking at you.
The gods are still watching.
Of course, each god had a slightly different attitude.
The Goddess of Adventure, Trinity, cheers on the challengers. She tells them that persevering in difficult situations is the essence of adventure.
Strength increases by 3.
Saraswati, the goddess of art, is smiling with her mouth covered. She is happy with the great success of her sculptor.
Art goes up by 5.
The god of battle, Lachis, is rejoicing.
The god of battle, Lachis, is rejoicing.
The god of battle, Lachis, is rejoicing.
… … .
The god of adventure who watches over Weed’s dangers and hardships.
The god of art is delighted when sculptures are in action.
A god of battle who is always happy when he sees a battle.
‘But is it better to have a god of adventure or a god of art who gives you something?’
On the fourth day, Weed heard a story from the soldiers at the North Wall.
Soldiers who had not been properly trained and had low morale were reborn as elite soldiers.
“The legend of the werewolf beyond the North Wall? I heard it from my grandmother when I was little. She said there was a werewolf with golden fur on its chest.”
(It’s like the story of Jekan, the king of monsters.)
“Tell me more.”
“Yes, decades ago, werewolves lost many lives to inter-tribal battles and hunters.”
“To the hunters?”
“They were known to be ferocious and extremely strong beasts, but strangely enough, they were easily caught by hunters. It is said that not many werewolves survived and became their skins and meat. Among them, the gray wolves have precious fur, and are said to be extremely strong and courageous. Gray wolves are said to be born with the destiny to rule over monsters, but they are said to not have many in number.”
The story of the Gray Wolf was widely known among the soldiers on the North Wall.
