Chapter 769: Chapter 441: Otherwise I’ll Bury You_1

“Is this… the same membrane used in planting balls? Have you learned how to forge planting balls?” Negris asked, his gaze falling upon the semi-transparent ‘fabric’ stacked together in bundles.

Whoosh, three heads popped out from the edge of the horse cart in quick succession. Ange and his gang who had been working dozens of meters away just a moment ago now appeared beside them at a speed reminiscent of teleportation at the mention of planting balls.

Durken said with some embarrassment, “Not yet. Although forging planting balls isn’t too difficult, we lack many of the necessary materials. We’ll try once we have everything.”

“Then what are you doing with these ‘fabrics’?” Negris asked confusedly. The three figures of Ange also swung their heads toward him with a baffled look. Their synchrony added thrice the pressure on Durken.

Durken said, “I came up with this idea. If we can’t forge the planting balls, why do we even need them? Why not just dig pits in the ground and change the dome into a semi-transparent one? The only difference from a planting ball is that it can’t be ‘collected.’ But why do we even need to collect it? This territory is already ours. Wouldn’t it be better if we just installed a permanent one?”

Both Ange and Negris’ eyes lit up. Negris even praised, “What a great idea! This way we can save time on a lot of complicated structures. All we have to do is dig ditches, and Ange is perfect for that kind of work.”

...

Ange couldn’t wait to move the semi-transparent fabrics.

The cost-sensitive silver coin could no longer help but ask, “I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while. If we can dig pits on the ground, why go through the trouble of making an expandable structure?”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Durken pointed to the Starburst Array in the sky, “It’s redundant to have an expandable structure on the ground, but it’s very practical in the void. Toss it into the void and it will automatically take shape.”

“I see,” Silver Coin said with sudden enlightenment.

Once Ange excitedly dug a big pit, propped up the transparent fabric with brackets, and connected the micropore pipelines, a permanent type of planting ball quickly took shape.

Placed next to the retractable type of planting ball, it looked like two semi-transparent bowls overturned on the ground.

Seeing Ange having such a blast, Durken finally spoke what he came for.

“Measurement?” Negris asked. Ange tilted his head.

“Yes, there’s a gorge in that direction. We want to build a bridge there and are hoping you could help us measure it. The most labor-intensive part of the project is the measurement. If we do it, it might not be accurate, and it could take at least two or three months,” Durken said.

Ange nodded and pointed at the planting ball, “Fabric, more.”

Negris translated, “He wants more of this fabric.”

Durken said uncomfortably, “I’ve cleaned out the city, and this is all I’ve got. I requisitioned it from a cloth merchant who specializes in intimate clothing.”

“Actually, if you want more, we could easily produce it ourselves. Your silks are an excellent base material. If we weave them into these large delicate nets and brush them with rubber tree glue before solidifying it with blue light, it will turn into this semi-transparent fabric,” Durken explained.

Ange broke down the information one by one with his fingers.

Negris glared at Durken, covering his face in resignation. Oh no, he thought, didn’t he just give Ange a new task? First silkworm breeding, then tree planting, then blue-lighting? Each of them was right up Ange’s alley.

….

They headed towards Northern Wind City along the sandy river. After almost reaching the foot of the mountain, they turned south, which led to another source of the sandy river. In fact, the Sandy River had many sources. It was the convergence of countless streams from the mountains.

They quickly reached the gorge Durken had mentioned. It was a gorge formed by perennial rivers cascading down the mountain. Although it was only about fifty meters wide, it was several hundred meters deep.

Following Durken’s blueprint, Ange looked from left to right and began to take measurements.

The dam was done by Ange himself, so he knew the details with a glance, but the bridge was Durken’s responsibility. All the measurements needed to be taken so Durken could understand them, which made it slightly more complicated.

However, no matter how troublesome, it only required additional glances. He finished within half an hour. As they were about to complete the measurements, a group of horsemen suddenly appeared on the opposite bank of the gorge.

These riders were cloaked in black capes. Underneath the capes, they wore bulking armor. It was immediately obvious they were a squad of fully armed swordsmen.

When the swordsmen came out and saw Ange and the others, they were taken aback. One of them exclaimed, “Eh? Why are people here?”

“It looks like there’s a magician. Are they fixing the bridge?” another individual from the group of swordsmen speculated.

The leading swordsman ordered, “Kill them. We are on a covert mission. We can’t have our location exposed.”

“Yes!” Two high-level swordsmen from the group jumped out. They invoked their energy and leapt toward them at full speed via the force of their energy. However, they were immediately struck down by Little Zombie and Little Angel upon landing.

“???” The whole team of swordsmen was completely puzzled, What is going on?

The fact that Little Zombie didn’t Armorize because there was no need to scare anyone meant that his strength was hidden. But, why was the loli even more fierce?

After knocking down the swordsmen who had jumped over, Little Angel started hollering and was gathering her power to strike at the opposite bank. Ange promptly lifted her up to halt her.

The swordsmen on the other side were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses. How in the world did a team of fully armored special swordsmen on a covert mission, who just happened to pass a gorge and met a team of road construction workers, intending to wipe them out casually to avoid leaking any news, end up having two of their men brought down by a loli?
