968 Move Out

"Master." Dimitri looked at him with a serious expression. They were standing in front of the trench leading to the city's ditch, which would surround the city with water.

"Alright. Let's begin!" Noel nodded. Dimitri hurriedly raised his right hand, signaling for the workers to begin.

Without hesitation, the workers started scooping the ground out of the trench. After a few minutes, the trench finally connected the ditch with the river.

Water began flowing through this small channel, eroding the remaining dirt. The flow was quite stable due to it being not too deep, but the first thing that the water had to fill was the deep empty wall Noel had dug before.

The water was sucked completely. Noel and the others couldn't help but try to look at it, but because they couldn't get too close, they failed to see the bottom.

It would take time to fill it completely, but with this, the ditch would be completely filled with water. Noel planned a waterway that would link the water from the river into the city, but there was a water demon, so he had to abandon this plan for the time being.

"With this, everything is ready." Noel smiled. He looked at the wall, which had been covered with bricks.

Of course, he knew that if they prolonged the fight, they would be at a disadvantage, considering Layla would have exhausted her energy. Hence, he needed a battle plan to kill most of the demons within the first twelve hours.

If he couldn't do it, the city would be in danger. In fact, he believed Qiel would use attrition warfare to destroy the Ardagan Family.

"How is the situation inside?" Noel asked.

"The guests from the Demon Banner Army have arrived. The two elders coming from the Tower Association have also arrived, but one of them seems to be inspecting the mountain. The Moon Temple has been here for a long time, so there's no need to say anything about them. And we received the people from the Zaecuria Kingdom yesterday."

"What is our strength in total?"

"Including both of us and Andreas, we have thirteen grandmasters on our side. There are approximately twenty masters, most of them are new recruits. Knowing Howard, he should be able to command them perfectly."

"Our soldiers?"

"We have about 80 elite soldiers and 10 flying soldiers. Their strength ranges from Spirit Apprentice to Spirit Wielder. There are about five hundred normal soldiers. The people seem to be eager to help with other chores like bringing water and food to the wall, helping with injuries and other things."

"I'm sorry for them, but whether they are kids, women, or elderly, I have to work them to the bone in this battle."

"They have seen the greatness of the city, so of course, they will help." Dimitri nodded. "Are we going to create a separate unit for an ambush?"

"No need. As long as the wall remains intact, the Ardagan Family can't be destroyed." Noel thought for a moment. "What about the weapons?"

"The heavy weapons have been transported onto the wall. They are placed in their designated area, so there's nothing to worry about. Everything is ready to receive the enemies."

"Has Harley noticed a movement from the north?"

"Not yet. But it seems to be extremely quiet."
