Under the direction of Silva, Daniki the giant Preying Mantis and about over a hundred members of the Honor Guard, a wide girthed trench was being dug up along the perimeter of the Carne Village, with just enough room to expand the fields.At the same time, a portal opened up in the center of the village where many of the residence were standing in wait. Watching the monster and its 'minions' as they saw them, work on the trench for the wall.
"What's going on now!?" One of the women shouted as she placed her hands on her head in agita, it was clear they weren't used to portals opening up all over the place. "More people!?"
That's when Jack, Enri, Nemu and Sir Edmund appeared stepping out of the portal which zipped closed behind them without any further sounds.
"What's with the shouting, Mi'Lady?" Edmund stuck his pinky in his ear and twisted it around. He was covered in sweat and his hair was matted to his head.
It was as if half of the single women present were going to swoon at his appearance. Out of all of the soldiers here, he was the only one without a helmet on, that and he looked relatively normal compared to those dressed in victorian wares.
"N-no nothing's wrong..." The woman who had just been panicking seemed to have calmed down, eying the man in black light plate armor.
Jack's eyes narrowed on the woman for a few seconds before he shook his head slightly.
Enri stood there with Nemu's hand in her own, smiling to herself as she felt the eyes of everyone in the village on her. They had been used to her wearing the red and yellow, now she was dressed in white and blue, and her clothes were several times higher in quality than before.
Oddly enough, those were the colors of the Blue Citadel.
Nemu smiled, leaning into her sister's side for her attention and warmth, as well as to feel the softness of her new clothes. Her eyes drifted towards Jack, curious, until she narrowed her eyes off in the distance towards the giant insect.
"Whoa! Is that the giant bug?" She pointed with wide reddish brown eyes, seemingly excited.
"Yes. Daniki," Jack informed her of its name, whether or not he had told her before, didn't seem to matter really. Not to him at least since she didn't forget his name. Or did she? His eyes drifted towards the small child, before looking to the rest of the villagers as well as the refugees who came earlier.
They were in worse case when it came to the strange monster which was moving along the perimeter where the wall was to be built. They were terrified.
However the moment they saw him, they almost instantly beamed. He was there hero after all.
"For those who do not know, my name is Jack Graham." He placed a hand on Enri's shoulder lightly before stepping away from her. Taking a gander once more over the crowd which was now forming around him.
"As some of you may know, I am a Dragon," his eyes drifted to the new faces. "Especially those who had a peek into the other room before I shed the form."
Their heads practically raddled as they nodded, a light murmur moving through the crowd.
"I am a leader of the group of beings currently digging a trench around the Village," He gestured towards the monster which could be seen on the horizon. "The project you see, is the beginning of a massive concrete wall that could stop an army in its place."
Looks of skepticism and awe were definitely seen amongst the current audience.
Jack proceeded to take out a metal Scutum shield made from Serviceable Metal and Adamantite. It was a dark alabaster grey. He immediately wedged it into the ground, turning it into a makeshift wall as it stood on its own. "This is the material I plan on using to build the wall in. Adamantite with a Serviceable Metal Alloy composite as reinforcement."
