"Leon, thanks for chaperoning your brother Bite. So, what happened to the Uruk army?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you, Mr. Ars. After that, the Uruk army retreated. We made a reasonable chase and returned after we saw that the Uruk army had turned back to the city.

"I see. I hope the chase didn't cause too much damage."

"Yes, we were very careful and the Uruk forces were slow.

"Hmm?　The other side didn't retreat so leisurely, did they?"

"No, it seems that many of the knights were trapped by the night attack that Master Ars made, and it was a blow to them. Many of the commanders who were in command when the army marched into the front had to leave the front, which slowed down the army's movement. The response to the pursuit was also ad hoc."

"I see. Well, at any rate, this means that no one will try to attack us here at Fort Einrad anymore. Then we'll just have to wait for Carlos to drop this northern town or whatever it is.

"Yes, that's right. I think that's a good idea.

　I let out a big puff of air after Leon's report.

　It seems we are safe for the time being.

　With the thousands of troops retreating to retake Einrad, there should be no immediate replacement for them.

　In the meantime, we are keeping a watchful eye on our surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If anything happens, the watchtower will report back to us.

　This brings us one step closer to completing the task of defending Einrad entrusted to Carlos.

　Now that that's settled, it's time to write a reply to the letter from Lilina that came the other day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I quickly spread out a piece of paper on my desk and began to wonder what to write.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so busy that I couldn't even think of what to write.

"Hey, Gran. I really wonder if there will ever be another Warrior of Atmos. Maybe a second or third monster will appear?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's the matter, that it is, Mister Ars? After that, didn't you say that you had people gather information and that there was no such thing in any of the territories after all?

"No, I know, but... I saw it in a dream. I saw a giant attacking me as if it had climbed over a wall I'd built. ....... I thought it was just something in a comic book, but I couldn't help but think that it could actually happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What is the cartoon ......, that it is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, no, it's nothing. I just mean I'm worried. I don't know if we can defend Fort Einrad with a giant like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. But, considering the possibility of Atmos' warriors, isn't the only way to make the walls higher or to develop new weapons?"

"What the hell. Don't you know anything about how they were dealing with it in the east?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know much about it myself, that I don't. There were many countries east of the Taisetsu Mountains, that I do not know the details. It is difficult to get information from different countries, that it is, and there was a distance from the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. But we can't just do nothing. We have no choice. Let's at least raise the walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you going to renovate the walls of the fort now, that you are?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, let's see if we can't magically build a new one for the future. Gran, help me with this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, that I do."

　The existence of the Titans, the Warriors of Atmos, cannot be ignored now that they actually exist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The current outer wall of Fort Einrad is about 30 meters high, thanks to the use of the terrain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I am not sure if they can defend against a 5-meter tall Titan with a high physical ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, the 10-meter walls that can be built with "wall construction," which we have been using extensively up to now, would be overcome, just like when we set a trap.

　After all, it might be better to create a new magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this in mind, I began to create new magic.

"First, let's put together a concept. For now, we need a height to be able to protect the city from the giants. How high do you think?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's right. The higher the better, if it can be done, that I think. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's true, but not too high, Gran. Basically, the advantage of spellcasting is that other people can use magic to build walls. Even if I could create magic that only I could use, it wouldn't do any good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then, we must maintain the minimum height and also ensure the defensive strength. Then, it would be good to change the material of the wall, that it should be made of. If we build it with hardened bricks instead of the usual bricks, it will be a hard wall even if it is not as thick, that it should be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right. Well, let's use hardened bricks for the wall material, and let's make it about one meter thick for now, shall we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Isn't that a little too thin?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, hardened bricks are as hard as metal. 1 meter thick would be a pretty sturdy wall, I think. And as we did when we renovated Fort Einrad, if we use the spell again right behind the wall we built with the spell, we will have a wall that is two layers thick. So you can cast the spell over and over if you need to."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. Then, if we reduce the thickness from 5m to 1m, the height can be up to 50m. However, in that case, there is something that concerns me, that it should be noted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Concerns?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't mind making the wall higher, that I do, but I am concerned about the foundation if it is that high, that I am not. If you pile bricks 50 meters high on the ground, that is the question whether they will collapse or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. ....... So, shall we also make the foundation in the ground when the magic is activated?　What if we consolidate the ground to some extent down to the bottom?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That would be better. And the top of the wall should be in the form of a breast wall, that I think. Until now, it has been necessary to repair the top of the magically constructed wall every time, that I honestly felt it was a hassle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But if you're going to put up two or three layers of walls, won't that get in the way?　If there is a chest wall..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mmm, that's certainly true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And since it is easier to adapt the renovation itself to the shape required at any given time, let's keep the walls that can be made with magic simple. So, I'm going to start working on a spell to make a 50-meter-high wall out of hardened bricks, so please give my regards to everyone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, that I understand. I'll leave the other things to you, and you concentrate on making magic, that I will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All right, for the time being, after discussions with Gran, we have decided to create a new wall magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will actually make a few prototypes to see how it looks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They even tried attacking the walls they had built.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I attacked with all my might using my physical abilities, which had been strengthened with magic power, and I also tried magic attacks and projectiles, and if there were any problems, I would correct them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Finally, the wall is magically memorized by [Memory Save], and the keywords of the spell are mumbled and incantated while reproducing it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this way, the magic to build a 50-meter-high wall was finally completed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, a new magic spell called "Wall of Atmos" was created to create a wall of unprecedented height by simply casting a spell, with the giants in mind.
