While Minos was working in his office, a large group of people stood on the sides of some street in a part of the Dry City, near the central region, observing the situation in the surroundings.
At this point in the city, there was a large tower over 100 meters high, which at this time had many people suspended from steel cables along the sides of this place. These groups of individuals wore the same type of orange clothing and seemed to finish the last details of this place.
Some used instruments to hold steel sheets at some points, while others simply had paint cans in their waists and large paintbrushes in their hands.
Finally, a loud noise came from that place, which mixed the sounds of all these people working and some occasional sounds typical of spiritual arrays.
"Let's do the first test!" Someone shouted, and almost immediately, the workers in this place began to repeat the same thing, passing the message on to those farther away from this building.
"Let's do the first test!"
And while the repeated phrase of these men reverberated through that place, the observers on the sidewalks had excited eyes as they saw that this place could finally go into operation.
"Ahh, even though our city's defensive tower isn't up and running yet, I feel so much better that we've finally gotten to the point where it gets tested!" An elderly woman commented this in the crowd as she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad it's over... It's been more than two years of construction!" Another individual at that location said to one of his friends.
"Truth! As much as it doesn't generate noise at night, it was still quite annoying to have to hear this sound from the beginning of the day until dusk!"
"But it was worth it! Now we can be protected from many more threats..."
The conversations then grew more and more, with many people smiling and many others heaving sighs of relief at the completion of the construction of the Dry City Defensive Tower.
These people were just ordinary citizens, but even if they didn't know the dangers facing the Black Plain, they knew that no one would be allowed to develop so tremendously in the cultivation world without having to go through many trials.
Therefore, these people were already worried about what could happen to their city if a greedy nobleman discovered the changes in this place.
The Dry City was a no man's land that no one wanted in the past. But precisely because of that, after the change that this place had gone through, the chances of this stimulating the greed of the other powers were far above what it would be if the same happened in other regions.
After all, instead of having a tremendous noble power ruling this place, the sovereign was just a young man without support...
'Hitting those who are already down is always easier...'
Well, the population understood very well what could happen in this city soon!
Thus, the completion of this construction was crucial for these people's lives, to the point of making them follow the development of this building from the moment its purpose had been spread.
The Dry City Defensive Tower was a project made by several spiritual professionals, intending to create a defensive barrier around the walls of this city.
In short, this construction served to interconnect various medium-level grade-2 defensive spiritual arrays to create that barrier.
That was similar to the barriers Minos had destroyed during his last trip to the Cromwell Kingdom when he was going to rescue Private Peter.
At that time, he had destroyed two of these barriers created by low-level grade-2 defensive arrays to penetrate those territories.
And this tower, built in the middle of the area protected by the local wall, served to allocate these many arrays, forming a gigantic security area. After all, one couldn't just activate the arrays anyway and expect them to protect the entire city...
The inner area of the wall-protected region was not small, so a unique type of construction was required to locate the various arrays and create a complete defensive network.
That's why this place had been built in such a way, with such height and several connections with different wall parts.
In fact, when viewed from above, the appearance that this city now had was as if a giant dome was overlying the terrain. But as the defenses were not yet fully active, there was no restrictive or defensive effect on this dome.
There was only the basic structure, which made the combination of all defensive arrays capable.
Anyway, quickly, a buzz began to reverberate throughout the Dry City while the many arrays were activated simultaneously.
And almost instantly, the entire surface of the 'dome' was activated at once, causing the blue sky to momentarily disappear, creating a region of twilight throughout the territory protected by the wall.
...
"What? Why did it get dark out of nowhere?" One person asked this while taking a shower in the bathroom of his apartment.
...
"What is happening? Why did it get dark? Will it be the end of the world?" A young man screamed in alarm when he had almost tripped on the sidewalk of a street where he was walking previously.
And on hearing this, quickly a person who knew what was going on laughed at the young man and said. "Idiot! That's the city's defensive barrier, hahaha. See there. A green membrane covered the dome..."
...
At the same time, the many soldiers who were doing their services on the local wall suddenly saw a greenish membrane appear near where they were, on the outer limits of the wall.
"Look at this, Eugene! The Defensive Tower has been activated!" A female soldier who was patrolling said this to a fellow who was crouched beside her, tying his boot at this moment.
Hearing the emotional voice of her, the man then stopped what he was doing and immediately looked at the surroundings, which at this moment seemed as dark as it would be in the middle of the night.
"Incredible! From now on, we won't need to be in this constant tension!" He said in happiness when he suddenly tried to hug the woman beside him.
However, that didn't work very well, as she dodged and took the opportunity to slap her comrade loudly in the face. "Don't try to take advantage of me, you shameless!"
...
While that soldier's face burned and his honor dripped from the corners of his eyes, Minos stood beside the glass wall of his office, watching the entire situation.
'It's finally done!' He cheered internally, realizing that the tens of millions of crystals he'd invested in this project had finally come to fruition.
"With this barrier, the Dry City will now be impenetrable in the northern part of the Central Continent!" He pressed his hands tightly as he raised them to his chest, making a celebratory gesture.
That is because only a level 59 Spiritual King could destroy such a barrier!
So, unless the old monsters of the northern part of the Central Continent left their homes to visit the Dry City, Minos felt relatively safe at the moment.
It was not impossible to destroy such a barrier if many Spiritual Kings were involved in such a thing. However, these potential enemies would be exhausted for such a situation, vulnerable to whoever was in the protected area.
Therefore, no matter what happened going forward, this young sovereign finally had a way to keep himself while reducing the weight of external threats on his shoulders.
'Now we'll also be able to limit people entering and leaving the Dry City wholly...'
'Hmmm, I think I can let little Kyla walk around here whenever she wants.' He pondered, remembering that he had promised that young fox that he would let her wander around when it was more appropriate.
And with that construction completed, he could have the peace of mind to let her play around.
After all, even though many soldiers had patrolled the wall before, there were still many dangerous spots!
But with such a defensive barrier, the whole reality of the Dry City would be different from now on...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
