367 Xyphoid Yolk

"If you want to survive for an extended period of time", rocks grinding Jeremy's brain to a pulp, "we need to bolster the whole castle from the foundation up"

"We have about an hour until they reorganise the troops to attack again", the dragon rumbled, "can you do it?"

"I can use the elementals to fix the outer wall in this timeframe to withstand an assault" crunching pebbles crushing Jeremy's eardrums, "after that we will need to distribute them between repairs and battle" uncontrollably crunching his teeth with every word, "the more of the attackers you take on the greater our chances to complete the repairs"

"Lets do it", turning to Jeremy, "you keep watch and tell us if they try to sneak in"

Jeremy looked at the battlements, "I will black out if I go that high".

Thinking for a few seconds Allen took out a device that looked a lot like Red's ancient monitors, fidgeting with it for a minute and it lit up, after seeing the space armor he wasn't sure why this surprised him at all, "use 'message' spells to make it show you different parts of the area".

"What?", was the dragon talking to him?

"Look here", a diamond scaled finger pointed and jeremy saw the path ilustrated on the monitor, "message turn vision rigt by thirty degrees", the picture jumped showing part of the wall, "message move vision left three meters" it jumped again and the wall vanished from the monitor, "you need to use it a little before you master its control but its a very simple application of the computer"

Jeremy snatched the monitor from the ground and stared at the awesomeness of it, 'message turn down ninety degrees' gave him an upside down visual of the open keep, fidgeting with the controls finally had him staring at his own image and then into an infinite abyss of monitors, looking up he saw the dragon was long gone and remembered his own mission.

Finding out how to give looped commands to the device was a piece of cake to someone living with a cranial implant almost from his first breath, as well as narrowing and expanding his vision from a tight beam to a confusingly crammed three sixty orb that would give a fish a major headache.

Stolen novel; please report.

Seeing the flying pig command the elementals to fix the outer wall was hypnotysing, the relentless creatures just piled up the broken rocks and then flowed into the pile and formed the wall.

After each section was done they would materialise beside their creation and Allen puked his rainbow on it, painting it with dazzle chamouflage that hurt to look at for too long.

The boar fairy also directed the construction of more elaborate battlements, structures, towers and gatehouses, Allen produced planks and crafted giant doors laced with metal Jeremy couldn't even guess where he got it from but he painted them to look like a long tunnel.

It seemed funny until Jeremy realised how lifelike the paint looked and remembered it was literaly inderstructible, someone was going to charge into that and not like it one bit.

The pig's assessment of his work speed was off as they still had a third of the outer wall in its crumbling state when Jeremy spotted the first Goliaths coming up from the north pass.

"They are coming from the north" he ran and shouted, "the goliaths are coming" screaming again when he was in earshot of the construction crew, luckily the north part was already finished so unless the monsters took a long detour they faced a dazzeling indestructible wall.

"Did you see the frost giant with them?" Shaking his head at the dragon's question seemed to satisfy him as the beast flew up to the northern wall.

Looking in his monitor he saw the monsters were armed with hoopaks that were literal catapult arms without the whole slow moving machine attsched realising now how the stone walls were so thoroughly turned to rubble, whistling in appretiation at Kyatha's achievement in fending off the siege for so long against these tactics.

They stopped at a much greater distance than he thought was possibly their maximum range and yet didn't start the attack, maybe waiting for more reinforcements to arrive, every moment of peace built the last part of the wall further though it didn't get the paint treatment yet it was faster to paint than build and Allen needed to defend the castle in case the monsters attacked.

Three of the elementals were also stationed with him while the rest of them worked relentlessly at the construction.

A single Goliath walked up to a range of four hundred meters and swung his hoopak to launch a rock so fast it whistled through the air and missed the whole castle, another shot missed.

Other goliaths were rolling on the floor laughing, the creature took aim, closed its eyes and shot, this time the rock hit the wall and just fell to the ground making even more of the monsters roar in laughter.

Two more got into range, fired and missed until the first explained about closing their eyes after aiming, the three rocks hitting the painted wall crumbled to dust.

The rest of the group joined and the noise from rocks shattering on the wall reminded Jeremy of Shovermatsor's speech, even in the inner keep it was so loud he could barely think when one rock went past the outer wall and hit the second one it broke the wall to pieces.
