Chapter 126: Building High Walls

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Wooden stakes were driven forcefully into the ground.

The tall and burly clay golem slowly lowered its fist, stepped to the right, and hammered down on the next wooden stake with great force.

Feeling the faint tremors from the ground, everyone's gaze was unconsciously fixated in a daze.

For most of them, it was the first time seeing the clay golem perform actions other than walking.

The display of raw power from the massive clay golem left everyone in shock and stirred some mixed feelings in their hearts.

While everyone was focused on the clay golem building the wooden walls, lunch was being prepared and distributed to the group.

Unconsciously, they all stopped wondering.

Why were they building wooden walls here?

While everyone was eating, Matthew had already controlled the clay golem to drive the first row of two-meter-long black wooden beams into the trench.

Soon, the second group, who had been ready for some time, began moving the 30-plus carriages into the enclosure.

The carriages entered the walled area, blocking everyone's view.

The carriage doors opened, and hundreds of lively figures jumped out.

All of them were cloaked, and the sunlight made them slightly uncomfortable.

Five hundred kobolds!

They had been teleported here along with Matthew.

Due to their small size, 20 carriages were enough to hold them all.

The large and imposing Gold-Fang was the last to step out.

His vertical pupils scanned the kobolds, and at his mere glance, the previously restless kobolds immediately quieted down.

Without waiting for Gold-Fang's command, the kobolds lined up to retrieve various tools from the carriages.

Then, they demonstrated an astonishing level of discipline.

Under the leadership of larger kobolds, they split into small teams and got to work under Gold-Fang's command.

Despite their small stature, the kobolds moved swiftly, wielding hammers and shovels with impressive speed.

In just over ten minutes.

The kobolds had dug a deep trench behind the walls.

Then, they quickly excavated a series of deep pits, extracting large amounts of dirt and piling it up behind the wooden walls.

The dirt piled higher and higher, and the pits connected to form underground tunnels.

Seeing the plan steadily advancing, Matthew slowly opened the door of the carriage and stepped out calmly.

His movements seemed to trigger a reaction, as the barbarian soldiers who had been resting in the nearby carriages also stepped out.

The fully armored barbarian soldiers, standing in the sunlight, exuded an overwhelming presence.

Those who had just finished eating curiously looked over.

None of them had even noticed when these barbarian soldiers and the mysterious Arcanist had joined the caravan...

Adam Smith stepped forward and called out in a clear, straightforward voice:

"Attention everyone, we are now hiring!"
