The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 153 Wilwatikta Kingdom
Seven days have passed since the arrival of the monsters in Bitter Maja. All the existing monsters worked day and night in shifts to build their new home.
Starting from the construction of a resident's house which is almost half completed based on the floor plan made by the Kingdom Construction division. Some monsters have started to occupy their homes and fill them with everyday equipment. The division of this house is done by lottery so that even though some monsters have not yet got their own homes they do not feel have been cheated.
Because who else can argue with fate?
At first, the shape of the residents' houses will be made is like the previous Moku tent. However, Moku rejects the design of the house because he wants the house to be not only a place to live but also a defense bunker.
Therefore, the high shape of the house will actually make it more vulnerable to attack. Moku suggests digging the soil under the house until it finds harder soil and makes it the foundation of the house. That way, even though from the outside the residents' houses look small, the inside will be very spacious with several floors below the ground.
Moku's suggestion opens up a whole new world for the goblins. They remembered that the basic skills they have are not to build tall buildings but to make underground passages that can defeat a city.
The Kingdom Construction division remodeled the city plan that they were going to make into a different kind of interactive by using the underpass not only as a crossing route but also as camouflage. No one knew what danger was in the Bog forest so even if all the monster species had gathered, there was no harm in keeping them alive with low key.
The residents' houses were finally designed with three underground floors, where the first floor was intended to store food supplies, the second floor was used for living quarters, and the third floor which was also on the ground level would be used for camouflage and defensive bunkers requested by Moku.
The walls of the third floor are made with a combination of hard mutated animal bones and stone glued together. That way, apart from saving the materials to build the first two floors with only earth walls, they were also able to strengthen the third floor.
As a result, the construction of houses for residents was slightly delayed. From the one month they have scheduled, the construction of residents' houses is estimated to be completed in the second month.
Realizing that he had just aroused the passion for the underground building of the goblins, Moku could only sigh and think of another way so that the construction of the Wiliwatikta Kingdom could be completed according to schedule. He decided to bring all the orcs in addition to the two new Asuras to build a temporary wall.
Moku intended to use this wall to be a temporary defense while the Kingdom Construction division completed the construction of the residents' houses. He believed that by putting Boku and Goku (two Asuras) to help them, his existence would no longer be needed to help dig the ground.
Whereas the other orcs besides helping lift heavy objects, they had no other use. For that instead of them just practicing, Moku decided to use them to make a temporary wall.
At first, Moku wanted to make this temporary wall from wood that was staked so that it became a fence. However, when he thought about it again, this would only be a waste of time, energy, and resources. Therefore, instead of building a wall, Moku decided to make a trench around the Wiliwatikta Kingdom area.
They started digging this trench on the second day and continue to do so to this day. With the combination of Moku's strength and the persistence of the orcs who took this as training, they had managed to dig a 10-kilometer-long trench and managed to encircle a quarter of the territory of the Wiliwatikta Kingdom.
This trench has a depth of up to 3 meters with a width of up to 2 meters. It would be impossible to do if Moku didn't have the power of prana and the orcs capable of lifting hundreds of kilos of weight on their shoulders. The excavated soil will be moved to create a mound beside this trench which can be used as a barrier wall.
By the time the sun was setting they had completed the one-kilometer trench for the day. Something that Moku never imagined could be done without heavy equipment and other digging machines. Moku begins to understand why the battle between the human and elven species can last for decades.
By using fortifications in every territory they control, the time needed to fight over every inch of territory will increase. Moku imagined a battle between mages who cast spell after spell that bombarded the built fortress.
Moku started to think that the modern war tactics in his former world might work in this world. Perhaps instead of using guerrilla warfare tactics, it would be better to attack with small special troops.
Moku began to think about forming a small elite team that could be moved at a single target point that had important uses for the enemy. By using Sylphs as scouts, they can spy on enemy troops without being noticed.
That way the number of victims who fall in the war will be reduced considerably. Then he also thought if he could be considered as a weapon of mass destruction that was only activated for certain circumstances which were essential to change the course of the battle.
"Hmm... maybe I should discuss this with the Military Administration" said Moku while stroking his chin. He currently really wants to have a long beard, which will not only add to his prestige but can also stop him from stroking the bare skin on his chin.
Then Moku's face suddenly became serious, he felt something approaching from the trees in front of them. This was the frontier that the Kingdom Construction division had chosen in their kingdom construction plan based on reports from the Military Espionage Division that had just been formed by Swa.
Mapping the location of the mutated animals around them is the first task of Swa and his division. So it is impossible for any mutated animals that are still alive around the Wilwatikta Kingdom area.
"Are there mutated animals migrating? or is there something wrong with the Military Espionage Division?" Moku didn't think that this approaching thing was an ordinary beast because right now he sensed the danger emanating from it.
Moku activated his inner eye and saw what creature was approaching them. He didn't feel the mana of the creature but the appearance and form of the creature made Moku dumbfounded.
This creature's body was covered by a black exoskeleton that enveloped its body like full armor. So it can be said that this creature belongs to the insect family. Even so, its body does not consist of three parts like other insects. This insect only has a head and thorax while the abdomen is absent.
He walked on four insect legs that looked very pointy and hard as iron. Moku realized that his legs were made up of two parts; legs that connect directly to his body and claws that can be bent so that its sharp feet don't sink into the soft ground.
The difference between this creature and other insects is also seen in its mandibles. It has vertical mandibles which bend at each end to form sharp spikes. Moku didn't see the creature's eyes so he most likely knew his surroundings through the antennae twitching above his head.
In addition, this insect also has two large claws that extend from the thorax and flank its head. This insect has a height of more than one and a half meters. Moku doesn't know if he has another swarm behind him but it's really weird for this bug to walk alone. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦
Because based on Moku's hunch, this insect is one of the troops of The King of Glittering Meadow. Most likely these insects were just scouts appointed by their leader to look for food.
If his hunch is correct, then the arrival of these insects to Bitter Maja indicates that The King and his troops have eaten all the animals in Glittering Meadow. And as they had feared, The King and his army were dissatisfied with the food in Glittering Meadow and began sending their troops in search of new food sources.
Moku activates Bhimasuta Form and jumps into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was standing on top of the insect. Up close, Moku can clearly determine the shape of this insect.
"Shit! Did I transmigrate to Starship Troopers world?" Moku blurted after seeing the bug in front of him was very similar to the warrior bug in the movie. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Blue flames appeared in Moku's fist and in an instant shot the bug to scorch. Moku's brow furrowed seeing that the insect was still alive even with a hollow body.
"SKREEEKKKK!!!" The insect was in pain and tried to get away but after the fifth step, it was dead.
Seeing the resistance of the insect's body, Moku knew that they were currently in danger. This one insect might be equivalent to one ordinary young orc.
Moku didn't know how many these insects were but he knew that these insects weren't the last to come to their territory.
Moku sighed at the war that would finally come sooner than he thought. For now, he should name this insect the Quadrupedal Arachnid to make it easier to explain.
