Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 554: A Break

The two of them continued to walk around the city.

After a while, Samuel broke the silence. "Do you want to eat something?"

"Hmm?"

"It has been a while since you go out and I don’t think you have time for proper meal," Samuel replied.

Riya blinked her eyes and chuckled. "I have eaten a bit on the way back, so no."

She didn’t feel like eating either.

"Ok."

"Do you think... they’ll allow me to set up an emergency formation around the base?" Riya suddenly asked.

"Emergency formation?"

"I don’t know whether those Giant Rock Golems will return again tomorrow, so I’m thinking that I should set up a formation to block them," Riya replied.

Those Giant Rock Golems were indeed hard to deal with.

Samuel arched his eyebrows. "Do you think they’ll come again?"

"Yes."

"Alright, just set it up."

Riya looked at Samuel speechlessly. "This is City J Base and not City A Base. I don’t think you’re the one in charge of the base."

"Yes, but in this case, I think I’m qualified to make the decision." Samuel looked at Riya and then added, "Besides, I think that if you felt it’s necessary, then it’s really necessary for you to set up a formation."

It’s dangerous to face those Giant Rock Golems.

There were only two that came out because Riya blocked the rest, but what if there were more?

Could they protect City J Base behind them?

"I see."

"Don’t worry. I’ll be responsible for this."

Riya nodded and then slowly made her way to the walls. If they wanted the formation to cover the entire city, it would be better to make it on the wall. She had only see City J Base’s shape through the map and it would be better to survey the terrain on her own.

A formation was usually influenced on the terrain too, especially a protective formation. Because if they wanted to make sure that there was no gaps, they had to know the situation of the terrain very well.

In this way, Riya traveled around City J Base once, slipped out of the base and walked around once more.

"How is it?" Samuel asked.

He was patiently following Riya as she inspected the walls in City J Base. Back then, Riya also took a long time to build the protective formation on City A Base because she had to consider the base’s expansion.

Well, for this formation, Riya didn’t have to think too much, though.

It was just an emergency formation set up to face the magic beasts this time and there was no need for her to think whether it could last for a long time.

"The terrain is simply the worst. I don’t know who decided to build a base here, but there are only a few formations that could be made here." Riya shook her head. "In fact, it’s easier to attack this place rather than defending."

Samuel: "..."

It seemed that whoever decided to make City J Base in this place didn’t consider the matter of the base being attacked when they decided to make it here. But then again, they might not have much time to make their decision.

Places with more livable areas were preferred.

And from what Samuel could see, this area should be a small valley like place in the middle of City J where there were a lot of buildings around. These buildings provided the first layer of defense and also the places to stay.

Unfortunately, they kept on expanding and these formations were useless.

Now, this place was somewhat harder to protect because it was originally a valley. This meant that it was at lower grounds. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Aside from some tall buildings and the platform that Dina built, there were not many high places here.

"Can you make a formation?"

"Don’t worry. I can still make good formation," Riya quickly said. Even though she felt that City J Base would be better be rebuild somewhere else, she still has some formations in her mind that she could use for these terrains.

But she had to say that these formations were not made to completely protect the city.

Well, it was more like, the formations were not that very powerful.

"But I have to tell you that the formation would not last long after it’s activated."

Samuel nodded. "As long as it could buy some time, it should be enough. And if you really do. Need a lot of resources to make he formation, we can go to Dina and ask for more resources from her."

Riya looked at Samuel speechlessly.

Good guy.

Dina hadn’t said anything and they were already counting her to pay for the formation. Moreover, they didn’t even ask for the people in City J Base about their intention of building the formation either.

It was really...

"You really don’t want to take any losses, do you?" Riya asked in a low voice.

"If I can make profit, why not? Besides, you’re doing this for the sake of City J Base and not for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with asking them to be the one to pay for it," Samuel said calmly.

Riya nodded.

The logic was correct.

But she was not sure that those people in City J Base would be willing to make such investment for their safety. After all, if the formation was not used in the end, there would be people clamming that they actually didn’t need such a thing.

That would be really troublesome.

Eh, it didn’t matter.

Samuel would be the one to handle such a thing like negotiation.

"I’ll start."

"Yes."

For the next hour, Riya drew the formation on the wall. Just like the formation she drew on the crack, the formation’s drawing would only be visible for a few seconds before it completely disappeared as if it was fusing with the wall behind it.

Those who had seen this for the first time would definitely be amazed.

Because this scene alone was more than enough to surprise them.
