Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Cooperation
“Before I stated my agreement, I hope the military will work together to suppress these magic beasts outside,” Samuel said slowly.

He didn’t really mind having a Martial Arts Association located nearby, but they had to cooperate together to deal with these magic beasts. He had seen the crack that formed a distance away and checked it.

But he didn’t dare to enter.

Because Samuel knew very well that his greatest weakness was the night vision. Even if he had powerful strength and could kill so many magic beasts when they came to him, but he couldn’t enter the crack and survive there for a long time without any vision.

If his rank was high enough, his senses would become even better.

But right now, he was still far from that rank.

“That’s natural.” General Rain smiled. He thought for a moment and then said, “Martial Arts Association had already made a special communication device that used mana to deliver the messages. At the same time, there’s a military specialized device for communication. I’ll hand one each to you so that we can communicate more. As for the specific of the cooperation, how about if we discuss it in details?”

“Communication device with mana?” Samuel repeated and looked at General Rain curiously.

In that world, communication device was mostly using letter or if they were mages, they could even seal the letter and made it fly towards their destination. The drawback is that the distance couldn’t be too far away.

There were no telephone, smartphone, or other things.

“Yes.” General Rain took out a box from his pocket and he scratched the back of his head. “The shape is similar to the brick phone from decade ago, but the component truly use mana in the operation. In this way, there’s no need to rely on the usual method and the channel is also secure.”

Samuel shook his head. “Is it encrypted? Mana transfer is also thought the air and there’s possibility of others obtaining it.”

“Well… they said that it’s secure enough for now,” General Rain said helplessly.

For this matter, this so called mana communication device, which probably would be called mana phone in the future, was still in the early stage. The shape was big and it was also heavy.

“How did it transfer the message?”

General Rain: “…” I’m sorry, I’m not the technical manager!

Seeing the constipated expression on General Rain’s face, Samuel knew that he couldn’t ask more and nodded. “I’ll refrain from using the mana communication device until I know the principle and confirmed that it’s secure.”

“It doesn’t matter.” General Rain nodded and then said, “Peter also taught us the methods to lock a letter with mana, but this method is not very convenient.”

Because they would need to travel back and forth with that letter. Even though Peter said that it was possible to make it into flying letter but he himself didn’t know how to because Peter didn’t really have friends in that world.

He only learned the method to infuse mana into letter because he was writing notebook and didn’t want anyone to see it.

“I know.” Samuel nodded.

He knew that method.

After all, his family wanted to know his condition from time to time if he was away and he had to write letter to them. So for Samuel, this little trick was nothing.

“Anything else?”

“Yes, the higher ups said that they might want to focus their development in this city.” General Rain looked at Samuel. “They said that the number of magic beasts in City A is far fewer compared to many other cities.”

“Far fewer?” Samuel frowned. “Is it because the number of cracks are different?”

“That might be one of the reasons, but we don’t know for sure how many cracks are there. This data is obtained through observation of the military all over the Green Planet, including those from overseas. Because of this worldwide situation, they’re wiling to work together and shared this basic information,” General Rain explained slowly.

“Based on the data obtained from various places, it’s determined that some areas didn’t have many cracks, so the number of magic beasts are fewer. But there are also many areas with several cracks and from these cracks alone, there are countless magic beasts coming. We don’t know how many magic beasts would appear, but no one dared to get close to the crack so far. Do you know how to…?”

“I don’t know how to close the crack,” Samuel interrupted before General Rain finished speaking.

If he knew how to close that damn crack, he would have done that.

Unfortunately, there were too many cracks and this wish would be impossible.

“Alright and based on the number, the number of magic beasts in City A is around 30 to 40% fewer compared to the surrounding cities,” General Rain said. “So we wish to cooperate with you to eliminate most of these magic beasts further.”

Samuel arched his eyebrows.

40% could be said to be a big number considering that there were at least thousands of magic beasts roaming in every cities.

It was no wonder that they chose to target City A.

But he didn’t mind.

Having less magic beasts meant more time for them to develop without having to face so many attacks.

“Alright, let’s discuss the details.”

“Yes!”

…

Riya’s side

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After cleaning up these magic beasts, Riya rested on the side and felt really tired. These magic beasts were getting more powerful and the last one was even a rank 3 magic beasts.

“How come they’re developing so fast?” Riya complained and sighed.

The mana concentration in this crack was indeed very dense. This would be highly beneficial for these magic beasts’ growth.

But after killing countless magic beasts, Riya could finally sense it.

The source of mana in this area.

She looked at the front and saw a relatively wide area. When she came here, these magic beasts all came out to attack her, so it was now empty.

Riya slowly made her way inside.
