Novel Bin 147 Chapter 146
When Leon arrived in Moscow, it was 09:00 PM. From above, he could see that the city had recovered a lot more than New York. Based on the number of houses, he concluded that Moscow had at least three hundred thousand survivors. That was three times more than New York.
Confirming what Seiji said, there was a wall made of steel being constructed around the city. Leon thought of doing similar in Las Vegas, but it would take a few months before he could do so. The size, weight, and durability of those steel plates have to be decent. Otherwise, there was no point in using them to create a wall. Anyway, the survivors of Las Vegas would have to meditate for four hours every day for three months before any of them have enough mana and intelligence to make a steel plate.
Although the steel plates were being slowly built, it looked like Alexei already made a few survivors learn how to make bricks. Every house was made of brick, and Leon saw some huge deposits of the brick exposed around the city. However, there was one particular building that wasn\'t made of brick, and Leon was sure that Alexei lived and worked there. As if it was a joke, a one hundred meters tall building had a shining V near the top. The place was tall and made Leon recall the *v*ng*rs tower.
"It looks like someone invested a lot of resources to build their own high-tech castle… it would be a pity to knock down such a building. Although Alexei ordered the construction, a lot of common citizens must have helped…"
Since Makoto couldn\'t risk being discovered, he left the magic box and the map with Leon. However, he had a phone with him that they would use it if necessary. Without wasting time, he headed to one of the eight dungeons, which was most far away from Moscow. It was the Vampiric Harpies dungeon.
"According to Makoto, the train will arrive around 08:00 AM. In order to make things chaotic as possible, I have to select carefully the dungeons that I will attack… I have to make all the monsters attack Moscow at the same time."
It would be hard to make such calculations since there slow monsters like frost slimes and fast ones like the vampiric harpies. But in the end, all of them would attack Moscow. Thanks to the steel walls, the number of casualties would low, so that made Leon feel a little less guilty.
After flying for an hour, Leon reached the dungeon. There he saw a campfire with six soldiers around. There were also six tents nearby, so Leon concluded that he only had to deal with those six. Fortunately, it was an exact number of objects he could control. Without wasting time, Leon created six steel punches and made them hit the faces of those soldiers. He didn\'t want to kill them, but he couldn\'t give them the chance to contact Moscow, so he ended up holding back a little. Fortunately, after seeing the blue bruise on their faces, he sighed in relief that he had succeeded. After that, Leon hid them behind a hill. They probably would wake up once they hear the sound of monsters, so they would have the chance to escape.
"I don\'t know if Makoto is naïve or a nice person… but now that I think about it, killing those guys would be our best choice… No, there is also the chance that they might notice that we did this and that we are nearby…"
In the end, there were too many ifs… so, it was impossible to conclude if killing them was the best option. Just to make sure that their boss would think that they just slept instead of being attacked by the enemy, Leon used a potion to heal their wounds. After that, Leon looked at the purple crystal while slaughtering the vampiric harpies that tried to block his path. Thanks to his flying speed, he found the crystal rather quickly and then attacked.
The whole dungeon started to tremble; it made Leon recall the earthquake he felt when he was on that island. After the quake, twenty Ancient Vampiric Harpies appeared, and then an army of ordinary harpies also started to be summoned by the crystal. Leon didn\'t wait to see how many would leave the place, and he flew toward the exit.
When he left the dungeon, Leon didn\'t see any weird movement in the surroundings. His job there was done, so he headed toward the next dungeon.
When it dawned, Leon could see an army of twenty thousand monsters marching to Moscow. He didn\'t know if the guards he knocked down didn\'t get found or if they woke up when the earthquake happened. But at some point, Leon stopped caring. The tension of the mission tired him out faster than he imagined. In the end, he couldn\'t always wait for the best outcome, he could only do his best to accomplish, and his current mission was to rescue Yuki and keep Makoto alive. The casualties were beyond his control… it was a bit irresponsible, but he decided to let Makoto deal with the aftermath of the problems.
Anyway, Leon did his part, and now he just had to observe the battle and see how the Russians would fight. Much to Leon\'s surprise, suddenly, dozen of monsters froze to death. Leon frowned he saw a mist in the distance covering those creatures and turning them into ice statues. Those creatures used ice magic, and they were supposed to be quite resistant against ice attacks… but then Leon understood who was behind that.
"I guess the mage who they trained to defeat me finally appeared…"
