A different world game? A different world game!

The northern protrusion extends the passage.

This area, known as the Northern Passage, extends all the way to the northern mountainous region of the Lebanese continent.

This is a mountainous area consisting of several mountain ranges, close to the edge of the continent.

The first thing we need to know clearly is that this world has a so-called border, and the Leviathan continent is located due north of the entire world map.

Now the area of the northern mountains can be said to be at the northernmost part of the world.

Apart from some islands in the ocean extending further out, this can be said to be the area closest to the edge of the world.

And before that, the group of magic nodes where Kana and the others were sucked into the time illusion was right here.

"The magic fluctuations here are really unstable. The data adjustment of the portal needs to be updated again."

A scholar from the Night Watch muttered to himself while holding the data book in his hand.

He is now in the large teleportation node built by the Night's Watch.

A huge teleportation crystal was suspended at the top of the entire building, absorbing the surrounding magic power.

"There are pros and cons, aren't there?" A nearby scholar, also checking the transmitted data, said with a smile, nodding his head with his pen. "In a place like this, there's never a shortage of mana. With ample mana, the transport capacity can always be fully loaded. How wonderful!"

As the two were talking, another beam of blue light shot up into the sky.

A large group of people and densely packed boxes of supplies appeared on the transport platform.

Each supply box is a large space transportation equipment.

A group of multi-armed puppets on wheels came quickly from all around and quickly formed a transportation route like an assembly line.

One by one, the supply boxes were moved away from the teleportation point at an extremely fast speed.

"The next transmission has been delayed. We need to shut down the transmission node and re-adjust the data. Please ask the person on the other end to wait."

The scholar who had just spoken said this as he began to work on shutting down the teleportation site.

At this moment, the earth trembled and the entire area began to shake.

What followed was a regional alarm. The shrill alarm made the surrounding night watchmen a little nervous, but everyone just quickened their pace and started doing their own things.

"Activate the Earth Element Stabilizer. All mages specializing in the Earth Elemental School must stabilize the elemental fluctuations."

A Night Watch commander shouted.

People in the entire area who were notified acted quickly and the shaking of the ground was soon stabilized.

"These damn rats never stop."

A wizard wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help cursing.

And on the channel defense line.

battlefield observation tower

The strong wind blew the stench of rancid blood in his face, but the Night Watch scholar seemed not to smell it and was concentrating on adjusting the multi-section telescope mounted on the battlement.

In the telescope, tens of thousands of ratmen were climbing up on the burning corpses of their own kind. Several gaps had been made in the recently built city wall, and seven bone ladders had been set up on these gaps.

"Incendiary bombs loaded!" The roar of the Night Watch gunner came from below.

Just as the scholar was about to issue the launch order.

The commander's message came into his channel.
[Pause the attack and wait until the ladder reaches the second line of defense before opening fire.]

"What?" The gunner below almost broke the railing with his grip. "Now firing can directly destroy it."

"Let them pile the bodies higher, that's probably the intention." A cold glint flashed across the scholar's spectacles. "Inform the engineers to prepare liquid kerosene and immediately pour it into the breach after the incendiary bombs detonate—this fire might last until sunrise tomorrow."

As if to confirm his words, the first ladder crashed into the city wall. The scholar raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Dozens of bronze tubes suddenly emerged from hidden compartments in the city wall, spewing out a sticky black liquid, drenching the ratmen in the front.

This section of the city wall was their testing ground, so whether it was the walls, the weapons, or the observation towers, they were all specially made and modified.

The incendiary bomb drew a red arc and ignited the black oil the moment it landed.

The flames took on a strange, dark blue hue, spreading through the liquid like a vast web, illuminating the entire battlefield as bright as day. Amidst the screams, the scholar lowered his head to record the data: "The combustion temperature is 15% higher than expected, but the adhesion is insufficient."

"Teacher! A rat-like earth-shaker appeared on the west side!"

The scholar continued writing, "Activate Plan 3. Replace the crossbow with frost rune arrows. These are proven and will definitely withstand the test. Remember, wait until it's completely out of the ground before shooting at its vital points."

Thinking that this thing was a new weapon after all, he added, "Let's see it through the appraisal."

The gunner rolled his eyes. He was a Night's Watch ranger before, how could he not understand these things.

Suddenly, the entire observation tower shook violently. Within the crumbling masonry, a blood-red compound eye swiveled against the crack. The scholar whipped out the magic-powered pistol from his waist, and the rotating alchemical pattern on the muzzle glowed with a blinding blue light.

"boom!"

The enchanted silver bullet pierced through the masonry, accurately blasting the eye. Sticky liquid splattered on the wall, corroding it and emitting wisps of green smoke.

The scholar shook the hot barrel of his gun, turned to the dazed adjutant, and raised an eyebrow. "Next time, remember to install spikes on the outer wall of the observation tower—it should delay the enemy by at least 0.3 seconds."

After saying that, he looked at the weapon in his hand.

"What a great self-defense weapon! I have to admit the leader's foresight and talent in this area. It's just that the manufacturing process is a bit complicated, the materials are a bit expensive, and it's not very convenient."

Isn’t this a complete problem?! The adjutant next to him complained in his heart.

"But these are our problems, and we just need to spend more time solving them."

The gunner who was controlling the new weapon below was watching the scene, his eyes fixed on the glowing weapon on the scholar's waist.

Dawn the next day.

As the morning mist, wrapped in a burning stench, swept over the battlefield, the black flag of the Night's Watch still fluttered on the city wall.

The scholar walked past the defense line, stepping over the still-smoking bodies of ratmen, his notebook filled with scribbled data. Two night watchmen trotted after him.

"Commander, you've gone too deep. Although we're cleaning up the battlefield, the ruins are still dangerous."

"Yes, the leader told us to pay attention to your safety and not let you stay in a dangerous place for a long time."

The scholar waved his hand impatiently.

"I need to see for myself the power of the new shells. How can I improve them without seeing them? I'm also a Night Watchman. It's not that easy to be wiped out all at once."

He didn't even raise his head while speaking.

Until another hand patted his shoulder.

"Tsk!" The scholar blinked irritably and raised his head impatiently: "I didn't mean..."

"Leader!" He suppressed his emotions and saluted.

Kana, who had arrived out of nowhere, simply smiled and patted his shoulder. "Terbechi, I know you're obsessed with magic-powered weapons, but this is a battlefield, and they are the elite on the battlefield. Sometimes it's better to listen to others' advice."

"Yes! I won't make this mistake again next time!" The scholar bowed solemnly, seeming to have realized his mistake.

However, Kana had heard such words two or three times before, and he just sighed helplessly.

There was a roar in the distance, and new fortifications had risen from the ruins.

Kana looked towards the gloomy sky in the north, with a slight smile on his face.

In his eyes, the magic power there was gathering and something was beginning to be built.

"Let's try it and see who's faster, you or us." (End of this chapter)
