Chapter 975 - Starting To Dig The Gruben Ore Out



"Wrong," again he corrected her, "if we did that then we\'ll have to work more to deplete them. Let\'s stick to our plan."

She sighed and couldn\'t help but follow his words.

For many hours the two kept working together. They released the energy stored inside the berserk ores on purpose this time. Using the same way as before, they turned failed attempts into mere steps towards success.

The more time they worked, the more exhausted they had. Sara decided to name them the cold purple ores, and the berserk ones the fiery purple ores.

And Arthur agreed on her suggestion.

"We can get Agnus now," After all these hours, the amount of the cold purple ores they got was big enough to let Agnus work. "But we need to keep this going."

"I know," Sara was slightly exhausted, "but let\'s take a break for now."

"Sure."

Arthur didn\'t do anything apart from placing ores and gathering them. Sara did all the work here. She kept drawing for ten hours straight until she got worn out.

She wasn\'t experienced in this kind of work before. So she deserved a good time of rest.

On the other hand, Arthur had good news for her.

"Snap!"

Just as she was about to come out of the ring, Arthur snapped his fingers. The next moment a group of portals appeared before youths came out from them.

"They…" Sara was shocked for a second to believe her eyes.

"They are gathered now and ready to work under your command," Arthur gave her a warm smile before adding, "you stay up here and get familiar with each other. I\'ll work with Agnus down below before coming up again."

"Thanks," Sara said in an honest and sincere tone, "thanks a lot for keeping your word."

"It\'s nothing," Arthur then flew away before falling towards the ground. "Bring Agnus out," he said while thinking about the next step in forming the ores.

Now they didn\'t need Agnus secret technique anymore. But he still wanted to see how he was going to do it.

The moment he reached the bottom, he found Agnus waiting for him with an army of his men. Their number was at least in thousands, making Arthur smile.

He never expected his genius to take more disciples from the masses he captured so far. But when Arthur thought about the long time of capturing towns and villages, he realized this might be just the tip of the iceberg.

Agnus must have brought only the elites among others.

"Welcome lord," Agnus led everyone to bow deeply to Arthur.

"At least, tell me where you want to work?" Arthur motioned to them with his hand while looking around.

They were at the bottom of the mountain. The city building was still going and it seemed it would take a long time before it would be built.

"Any secluded place will do," Agnus said before adding, "but first we need to test how to extract that ore from the mountain."

Arthur nodded before randomly pointing in one direction, "go and start working there. Will they help you?"

"They are here to handle the problem of extracting the ore," Agnus said before adding, "melting down the ore with all the dirt around isn\'t an easy task. So I selected the unique talents among others."

As Arthur expected, this group was just the crop of the cream. "How many blacksmiths do you have so far?"

"At least one hundred thousand," Agnus gave such a scary number to Arthur before adding, "but more than half are just kids learning blacksmiths. There are many great talents there, but they lack enough physical strength to back their talents."

"They\'ll grow up to become refined blacksmiths under your guidance," Arthur said in praise and Agnus could only smile.

"Thanks for the lord\'s kindness," he said before turning to the mountain, "I have gears to help us extract big blocks of the ores and dirt together. But we lack workers."

"Don\'t worry about that," Arthur instantly took out a bird\'s wing and wrote for Deem and Gor for that. He asked them to send workers here while saying to Agnus:

"How many do you want? Ten thousand?"

"Only a thousand will be enough," but Agnus gave him such an unexpected answer that made Arthur frown.

"Are you sure?" he asked, "this mountain looks really sturdy."

"My gears will do their magic," Agnus said in confidence, "but we need one thousand strong workers to operate them."

"It\'s your call," Arthur shrugged before continuing writing down his demand for Deem and Gor.

As he waited for them to send their selected thousand strong men, Arthur kept himself busy watching the blacksmiths moving big machines through portals.

The machines Agnus and his men were exporting here were gigantic! They were like twenty meters in height, with many sophisticated things installed inside like wheels and ropes and mechanics.

Just from the look of it, Arthur realized they would never be built on a whim. Agnus must have thought a lot about these machines, and most probably just started making them a long time ago.

Each machine was like a gigantic driller, with a concave and curved piece of metal like a gigantic shovel. It also had a giant spear and strange spoon that Arthur imagined it would be for digging earth.

It also had giant pickaxes that were linked by many metallic ropes. Arthur felt how strong these machines were just by looking at them.

"They are coming," Agnus said when a group of people approached them from far. "They came faster than I thought."

"Deem and Gor are already working on the city," Arthur said, "they had many strong workers to select from."

"That\'s great," Agnus rubbed his hands in excitement, "time to use my little babies."

Arthur didn\'t know how such gigantic machines could be described by being little. They were like giant behemoths in his eyes.

Agnus and his men started to work on the machines, refining the last touches before the group of workers arrived.

"We greet the lord," they all bowed while adding, "we were sent here under your request."

"Follow his instructions to the letter," Arthur said in a firm tone. The next moment the workers started to listen to a short description of the machines and how they would operate them.

Arthur was curious about these machines as well. So he overheard them while listening to Agnus words.

"This Agnus... he is simply a genius!" After listening to more sophisticated procedures to operate the machines, Arthur couldn\'t help but shake his head in amazement.

He expected these machines to take a great deal of thinking and much time of working from Agnus to come in such shape.

But what really astonished Arthur was their work! The moment the workers started to work on machines, in smaller groups each fifty people, the machines started to eat the mountain like a lion eating meat.
