By the time I returned to Ansorenne, it had already been two months since I left. Many things had naturally changed, but the biggest change was probably still the weather of the wastelands.
"Damn, this is so ridiculous."
What I saw was endless lightning and thunder. It was as if there were countless silver chains under the sky. The lightning formed a net that covered the entire continent.
Although my vision was still useful due to the magic mist being expelled, the constant flashes of lightning were enough to blind any ordinary person. No matter how good one's hearing was, it was useless against the lightning everywhere.
Under the baptism of the lightning season's endless lightning, the earth was turbid, and the wastelands had transformed into a pool of lightning.
"Oh, this is a nice place, and the weather is nice."
Roxia smiled as he said something that no one could understand. But, that was truly what he was thinking.
Two months was more than enough time for the lightning season to end from the beginning to the middle of the lightning season. When the lightning continuously baptized the earth, the magic mist would disperse, and any life that didn't have time to find a place to hide would meet their end.
Rorschach stayed in Aishi for two full months, but he wasn't in a hurry at all.
Now that it was the middle of the lightning season, the Seymour people's civil war had naturally stopped. If everyone stayed in their "shelter", even if Rorschach returned early, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
Time wasn't wasted. While Aishi was preparing their forces and increasing their influence in this area, work was also going on in Ansorenne.
The leaders of the new God Alliance all sent their own descenders and subordinates to their own areas. While all outside activities were forbidden, Cape Town was becoming more and more lively.
On the outskirts of the wastelands, a new town called "Perpetual Moon Town" was being constructed. It was located at the western entrance of the wastelands, and now had a population of several hundred … and according to the "plan", it would become a mid-sized town and fortress with a population of more than ten thousand in the future.
In Ansorenne, a population of several hundred was already quite a lot. However, what was even more noteworthy was that this small village's overall combat strength was comparable to that of a fortress. Construction had already begun on the outskirts of the village of steel and stone. The proportion of descenders was astonishingly high, and there were already more than ten Legends and above job classes. It was obvious that this village had become an outpost for the various Aishi factions.
According to the "plan", the surrounding Gods had all sent their main combat forces here. Every day, there would be airships taking off and landing in the town. Countless descenders, warriors, and workers would travel thousands of kilometers here.
That's right, thousands of kilometers.
This was no longer a matter for the New God Alliance Gods. When Rorschach announced this information to the public and directly requested the alliance to join, and when the "plan" went from paper to construction, everything was no longer under the complete control of the Game Church.
According to the contract, the God of Hope, God of War 007, the God of Chains of Fury, the Guardian of Hummingbird, and other powerful Gods had already joined the alliance. Their warriors were well-equipped, had outstanding combat strength, and looked pretty good as well. Meanwhile, the rookie New Gods had all sorts of equipment and abilities, as well as magic armor painted in various colors, and had the style of a beggar's vanguard.
This was unavoidable.
At this level, Rorschach also knew that there was a general evaluation system for the New Gods.
Lori and the surrounding Gods were all only Level 1 Gods, and this wasn't even the lowest. The reason why Lori had been able to graduate from Zero was because they could send descenders out of their Divine Kingdoms to carry out missions.
The most basic condition for a Level 1 God's evaluation was to be able to easily crush three low-level Gods.
This time, most of the Gods participating in the contract were Level 2 Gods, and there were even two Level 3 Gods participating due to fate … The world of Gods was even crueler than that of professionals. Even with the protection of the contract, Rorschach and the others still didn't dare to relax even a little.
Since the initial signing of the contract two months ago, these airships had already set off. The closer ones had already arrived more than a month ago, while the further ones were still on the way … Two airships that should have arrived had already disappeared. Considering the high casualty rate of Ansorenne traveling in the wilderness, there was most likely no hope for them.
Not only were the descenders and professional Warriors here, but their subordinates, slaves, and servants were also among them. A large number of master builders, engineers, and high-level technicians were also specially hired. Their first task here was to build Perpetual Moon Town.
When the airship of the God of Books landed steadily, Roxia turned over and jumped off the airship after expressing his willingness to hitch a ride again.
Perpetual Moon Town was located at the entrance to the Harlet Wastelands. It was indeed the boundary between the two worlds.
The scenery on the other side didn't need much explanation. Endless thunderstorms covered everything.
The scenery here was a scene of bustling construction. Workers and machines were working furiously, and airships were acting as cranes. Even the dusty magical armors were working hard in the mud.
Occasionally, thunder would flash in the sky. Outside the town, there were rows of lightning rods, mage towers, magic towers, and spirit towers. They would fight for the natural energy that was bestowed by the heavens.
Under the towers, scientists, mages, and engineers were all discussing their own projects and perfecting their tasks.
The Seymour people's Cape Town was miraculously able to defend against lightning strikes. The Aishi tribes, whose civilization far surpassed theirs, naturally had their own methods. The reason why they chose to build a frontline fortress at the border of the Harlet Wastelands was so that it would be convenient for them to research and adapt to the Harlet Wastelands and lightning season.
The druids and nature priests were busy around the fields. They had to deal with the consumption of food for tens of thousands of people. From now on, they had to prepare with all their might.
Further away in the dense black fog, explosions and strange roars could be heard from time to time. However, the people here didn't seem to be surprised. In Rorschach's eyes, the tall steel giants, stone giants, and catapults that were under construction were definitely not there to express friendliness.
Regardless of the cost of construction and the manpower of dozens of gods, this town that had been under construction for only half a month had already taken shape. Due to the thunderstorm season, the original owner of the Harlet Wastelands definitely didn't even leave his house. Naturally, he didn't know about such changes.
Perhaps the population wasn't large enough, but although it was small, it had all the essentials. This was the epitome of a standard Aishi town. There were farmers, workers, warriors, and researchers.
"Although we don't look forward to war, we don't fear war either. Let's hope that everything goes smoothly. In that case, there shouldn't be any war …"
After learning about the overall plan from Lori, Rorschach also had his own ideas … Actually, he was the one who came up with this draft plan. However, he didn't care about it after he brought it up, leaving it to his advisors to evaluate and perfect. "I don't know the entire plan" was still just a word game that Rorschach was becoming more and more familiar with.
As Rorschach watched his brainstorming ideas turn into reality step by step, he felt rather complex emotions. He felt slightly uneasy and worried, but even more so, he felt pride and satisfaction.
