《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 50. Hold firm.
Advertisement
We reach a village a little ways before the main part of the wall without anything happening to my convoy except any villager we went past started shouting and waving ecstatically.
"Emperor! Emperor! It's the Emperor!" One of the village gate guards shouts and immediatly the wooden gates open for me and my convoy.
We enter the village and head through it almost instantly without stopping.
"Emperor! News! One of the guardsmen told me that there is currently an enemy offensive at the wall! It is quite a large one as well!" One of my soldiers tells me and immediatly I order the entire convoy to go at full speed.
(A large offensive, quite likely that there is an elite with them...)
We reach the wall in a matter of hours and I could hear the battle from quite far away.
"Alright. We have arrived. Everybody knows what to do so go and do it!" I shout out as loud as possible and all the soldiers and my companions jump out of the wagons at almost the same time and head up to the wall.
(I could check for an elite. Remove the strongest and the enemy might want to retreat to save numbers.)
I jump high up into the sky and look around while falling and see a tall, thin human walking side-by-side with the regular soldiers.
The human has claws stuck straight into his hand and it seems like somebody stabbed two horns into his forehead to make him look like a demon.
(That must be it. Unless it's a regular-looking soldier who is an elite but doubt that is the case.)
I start rapidly descending on the elite and crash straight into him, sending him flying through his allies into a tree.

He slowly gets up from the tree and runs towards me at quite a speed.
"Fast, huh? But you gotta go faster than that." I say as I vanish infront of his eyes and appear behind him, leaving him with a surprised face.
"Think your last thoughts as fast as you can since after this, not even dust will remain." I say and he tries to turn around to stab me but I grab his neck.
"Fire Magic: [Incinerate]" I finish my spell in a flash and his entire body turns into a tornado of fire.
In merely a second, his body is completely gone and even the dust is nowhere to be seen.
I turn my attention to a line of robed enemies with staves.
They are chanting something and I immediatly realize what it is.
(Mass-Summoning magic? Yeah that ain't gonna happen...)
"Light Spell: [Heaven's Gaze]" I use a high-tier beam spell to wipe them out of existence and end their summoning in an instant.
I then grab my sword and start cutting up the regular soldiers while walking back to the wall.
Once I reach the wall, I do a 180 turn and look behind me.
"That's enough for one day... Water Spell: [Tidal Wave]" I summon a big wave of water that quickly turns red as there is more blood than water in the soil.
I then use it to kill the front line of the enemy offensive and wash the others far enough from our wall that they won't be a hinderance.
I jump up to the top of the wall and land perfectly.
"You have returned, My Lord. Is it time to make the push already?" One of the nobles approaches me in full plated armor and holding a halberd.
"No, not yet. I just came to make sure the walls don't fall. Also, have the offensive waves slowly been getting bigger and bigger?" I ask half out of curiosity and half out of caution.

"Yes. Based on our observations, each offensive grows by at least a thousand troops and the waves have been getting shorter and shorter." The noble immediatly responds while keeping a wary eye on the direction of the enemy.
I sigh and look to the sky as well.
"It seems we are their number one problem then. Only our wall hasn't been breached yet. The other sovereign nations aren't so lucky with their walls. Quite a few breaches have already happened but they've somehow managed to regain their control." I tell to the noble and see the visible surprise in his eyes.
"But these enemies are no trouble. They haven't even been able to scale the walls properly yet." The noble once again responds.
"Simple. The Elites breached it. Alone. The one I killed first was an elite. Not a strong one but still an elite. Keep an eye out for them as I don't know how strong they are compared to the regular soldiers." I answer the noble and then wave goodbye.
I head down to the carriages.
"Unpack everything and distribute it to the entire wall! There should be enough!" I shout out and everybody immediatly jumps into action.
The wall is quite large since I did take control of an Empire and that is why I brought an entire large convoy of resources with me.
--- Exactly a day later ---
"Enemy attack! The interval has shortened by another hour!" A scout shouts and immediatly locks the small door in the gate behind him.
"Enemy number?" I ask in a calm voice.
"I don't know exactly but this time it's massive. More than the usual reinforcement of a 1000 troops! We must be careful!" The scout shouts and I immediatly realize his panic.
(A large amount of regular troops basically confirms the existence of a few elites with them. This one is going to be rough on the troops morale.)

Advent: Red Mage
Book 1 and 2 of the Redmage series are being published on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Due to the exclusivity clause, I have been forced to take down the vast majority of the book. You can read book one here. Book two here.Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, D.C. when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew gained access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he ‘slotted’ his Xatherite and changed his fate: he gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker-turned-dungeon in a desperate bid for survival. Escape is only the beginning; the first of his many problems in the changed world. Drew will be tasked to not only survive… but to guide the rest of humanity safely through the anarchy. Light LitRPG elements, no harem. Updates on Monday.

The Deathseeker [Under Revision]
NOTE: This story has dark elements, but it's neither grimdark nor particularly edgy. It's also currently being revised. Satan's Axe...Lord of High Honor...The Immortal Giant...The Black Maelstrom...Son of Thunderfield...The Gods' Retribution. Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. “My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.” With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster. Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details. What To Expect: A good time. In a few more words than that, a cast of believable characters in a unique world dealing with conflicts and problems a little bit more complex than punching the big evil guy in the face. Just a little though. Minimum Word Count a Week: 5000 Release Time(s): Between Friday 12pm EST and Monday 6am EST I also write A King in the Clouds

Let's Shine
So, first things first, this here is a magical girl thing. There are girls in it, they have magical abilities, fight supervillains (who have magical abilities, too, but in a more menacing way, like superpowers), and also do girly stuff. But it's not for children. Or at least not entirely. The idea is, it should be cute, but at the same time serious. Cute-serious, yeah… So, this is experimental for me. I'm planning to make short updates for as long as I can keep it up or until the plot resolves itself, whichever comes first. Most of all, I'm planning to not overthink or overedit things as much as I usually do, so there are bound to be mistakes and inconsistencies. I'll try my best to keep them to a minimum, though. But if you notice something, please feel free to tell me!

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
