Walking out of the large hall with Erin by his side, Cora trailed after them and they descended the north wing and located Ragdek and his crew who had established their workspace in the East wing. Their workspace was a larger smithy than the one Bungo was using previously.

They each had their own stations in the large hall where they could all work separately if they wanted. However, they were currently gathered in the center of the hall as they studied certain designs on the table.

A mechanical figure stood by the side of the table. It was the same Mech golems Tyler had fought in the lab Liz had been taken to. He had given Ragdek a lot of them but none had been intact. However, it seems this one had been fixed but unfortunately it hadn't been turned on, or maybe it couldn't.

Scattered on the ground by the side of the hall were parts of other Mech golems and also pieces of armors and weapons they had made. Their work super amazed Tyler even more now as it had only been a little over two days since they got here and they had already accomplished so much.

They had already burned through the steel he had spent so much money purchasing but Tyler had little to no complaint about that. He walked into the hall with Erin and approached the busy bunch.

Sensing Tyler's arrival, Ragdek who was taking the lead in analyzing plans for new equipment and weapons stopped what he was doing and rushed over to greet him while the others trailed after him.

"Mr. I mean Lord Ty, welcome, what brings you all the way down here? Do you need us for something?"

Ragdek spoke as he knelt before Tyler who waved an arm for him and the others to stand back up.

"Nice to see you too Ragdek. Anyway, I came to see how things were going with your other projects. You guys don't have to stop your work on ceremony."

Tyler said while glancing at the idle Mech in the corner as he dismissed the others who lazily went back to the table along with Bungo who was now in charge until Ragdek gets back.

"Hmm... well if you mean the mechs, we've finished analyzing them and have savaged a few complete bodies from the pile you left us but we can't commerce any test or attempt to make them without the necessary material which we have none of. We also don't have any decent power source to activate the ones we've assembled."

Ragdek paused for a moment before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small red gem-like rock and showing it to Tyler.

"We've also exhausted most of our Runite in fixing the main gate and can't continue our research on Magic Artifacts, I apologize."

"There's no need for an apology when you've only done what I've asked. We can't get more materials anytime soon so please focus on what you can do for now with the materials found in the forest. Also, how's the design for the city?"

"Umm... Oh yeah, I based the rough design on your description. The Main Street will only be a 15-20 minutes walk from the castle but we also need a survey of the area to get our scaling right."

"I understand, I was just about to head there myself so I don't mind bringing one of you along. It would be better if the camp the Kobolds are building did not overlap with your plans so I wanted to ask one of you to supervise them for a while."

"Oh, I see... As expected of Lord Ty, I didn't even think of that."

"No need to be so dramatic, you probably just had too much on your mind."

"Hahaha.... thanks for your compliment."

'Compliment?'

"Anyway, I'll send Darren and Gerl with you then. Darren will stay and supervise them and Gerl will return with the layout of the Greyad plain for us to base the city around."

"Alright then. We'll leave as soon as they are ready.

•••••••

After agreeing with Ragdek, Tyler turned to Cora and asked her to stay behind to assist the dwarves until he returned. She didn't seem pleased by not going with him but she didn't voice any complaints which may not have been a good thing.

He then waited until Darren and Gerl were ready and immediately teleported all of them directly to the Greyad plains. Frankly, he had no idea where the Kobolds were making the temporary camp in the massive plains so he only teleported them to the place he remembered. Which was basically just the outside of the castle.

They would have to fly towards the location as only Erin knew where they were but she could not teleport herself with others so they had to fly there. Tyler's mass teleportation ability was unique to himself as the skill spatial manipulation did not allow the teleportation of others as well.

He had evolved the skill with the soul of another demigod which was why the scaling and power of Spatial Domination were vastly different from Spatial Manipulation.

As Tyler and Erin's feet left the snow-filled ground, they finally noticed that the two dwarves could not fly. He could always give them a flight scroll as he was sure he had a tonne but Tyler thought that would be a waste as he just used his Gyro-Telekinesis to lift them to his side and they soon began to fly with Erin in the lead.

Their journey took less than five minutes even though the place was relatively far. He was trying to avoid the gazes of the Great Five when he chose that location but it was still close enough that expanding the camp into a city would draw it closer to the castle.

His plan had also worked adequately as the temporary site hadn't reported any strange sighting or attacks to date.

Of course, there was still a chance the enemy was simply just observing them and wouldn't do anything drastic for now. It would be foolish of him to ignore that possibility after what happened to Liz.

Erin soon descended amid the busy lizard-like creatures as though she was a goddess of sorts. Well actually, that idea wasn't exactly far-fetched given the current level.

Her descent had halted the Kobolds' movements as they all stopped to stare at her before they even comprehended her presence.

Tyler descended with the dwarves soon after which had shocked the Kobolds even more and they started scurrying around. Some ran in their direction and the others ran into a large tent, most likely going to report the sudden development to their leader.

Soon after that, a winged Kobold that looked quite different from the other Kobolds giving her a more human-like appearance and being slightly taller than everyone else came out of the large tent and flew towards him with a panicked expression on her face.

"Ha.... *pants *pants... Lord Ty, Lady Erin. I'm sorry for the mess, I was unaware you were visiting today. We've also been dealing with a little situation, my apologies."

Breathing heavily as she knelt before Tyler, she spoke her words hurriedly as she apologized for the rushed greetings and the mess the scurrying Kobolds had created. All the other Kobolds also knelt behind her as they echoed their greetings as well.

"Umm... Your name is... Tarka right?"

"Yes, Sire."

"I see... so how's everything here going and what's this situation you mentioned?"

As he spoke, Tyler's gaze swept across the temporary settlement as he absorbed the information he saw. There were more than a hundred large tents set up under the protection of a very fragile fence but of course, the fence was not the only layer of protection this campsite had.

A Magic scroll was used in setting up a barrier around the settlement and Tyler wasn't even sure how Erin disabled it the moment she touched it. There were also alarm spells that warn them when any outside creatures came with the proximity of the site and the Kobolds had set up traps all around the settlement.

However, for some reason, he couldn't locate where the Nightmare wolves he had sent here to help the Kobolds were. Of course, he could still sense them around him as he was their creator and still had a vague connection with them.

However, he couldn't see them anywhere even after expanding his vision miles around the campsite. He had received a mental note on the skills the creatures possess but he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

Although he was aware that the creatures were mostly nighttime beings though. That didn't mean they can't fight during the day but they were far stronger at night. Perhaps they also had the same abilities as shadow creatures and were hiding in the shadows somewhere.

[Answer: master is correct. The Nightmare wolves possess the ability 'Shadow Hide.' And are currently hiding within the shadows of certain Kobolds and across the settlement perimeter.]

'Oh neat.'

As Tyler's thoughts wander about at superspeeds, Tarka's words finally reached his ears as she answered his question.

"Everything has been moving along pretty smoothly Master. We were able to set up enough tents for 2,000 people and are currently in the process of clearing out a fertile area for the tillage of the Raven settlement."

"I see... then things are going as planned?"

"Well, Umm, we've experienced a lot more monster attacks than expected. Thanks to the scrolls you generously provided us. Most of the monsters avoid our location but with the numbers that are fleeing the forest and roaming the plains, a few of them have strayed into range recently."

"Oh, I'm sure I instructed Albert to give you some communication scrolls so you can request help in cases of emergencies. Did he not?"

"Oh no he did. The monsters weren't that numerous and our traps and scrolls could take care of them so we didn't need help with that. It's just, we've run out of materials in building our traps and temporary fences to protect ourselves. It's also difficult to transport large quantities of materials from the Darknar forest given our small status. Even the Nightmare wolves can only carry so much while we defend them."

"Oh right. It seems raw materials are my main antagonist at the moment uh. Well, that's fine. For this, you just require a medium for transporting the materials from the forest right?"

"Yes, sire."

"Indeed. A Magic carriage should work right?"

"Umm, I believe so. We should be able to open a part large enough for one."

"Then it's settled. I'll send you a—"

"Forgive my intrusion, Lord Ty."

"Hmm, Erin. What's wrong?"

"I Umm... I think Jarret and Nadine took all the carriages with them to retrieve the Raven settlement so Umm..."

"Oh right, I forgot about that."

After being reminded by Erin, Tyler finally remembered that he had sent Jarret out with all the magic carriages to retrieve the Raven settlement to save time. Feeling stomp on what to do, he suddenly remembered that there was still one more magic carriage unaccounted for.

'Oh shit, I completely forgot about Mike!'

Who was mike you ask? It was the six-eyed bull that had been pulling Tyler around during his time as a merchant. He had just now remembered he had left his magic carriage in one of the caves in the Farbel's Pass during the incident with the magic artifact Spatial Infinity.

The idea that the poor animal had been stuck in a cold cave for several days now was painful to him but he still took heed in the fact that it was a Tier 2 beast and could go weeks without food or water. Lucky for him, he had kept Mike in a secluded cave that was far away from any monster den so as long as it stayed out, he should be fine until Tyler gets there.
