Chapter 493 493 Inventory Check

She would grow a nice straight oak branch and slice it into wafers, and he would arrange them on the table, then enchant them with the armour spell. The process moved along incredibly quickly, and within the hour, they had enough of them made to cover everyone in the village.

That was when the ammunition started to show up. They had created an efficient assembly line once they found the diagram for a reloading press, and they were pumping out the shells with the help of the local workers.

The Rank Two and Three witches made the individual components in bulk, and then the others moved them down a conveyor belt and assembled them into working rounds to be loaded into wooden bulk boxes.

The metal cases were convenient, but they took more time to create, and it was deemed more important to make more munitions than fancy boxes. So, ten thousand rounds were put into a wooden crate and then brought up to Wolfe for him to enchant.

"Wow, that\'s better than I had expected. Even if they are invaded, this should last a village for a while." Wolfe commended the Werewolf, who carried the crate up to him on a wheeled dollie.

"At my count, there are just over two hundred villages that will stay in the Frozen Wastes and not try to flee. Not that the Witches will likely take them in, but some just have cowardly leadership. How many of these can we put on a plane?" The big man asked.

"The twin-engine units should be able to take fifty at a time and still have room for two people in the back to distribute them as they flew over the villages. The cargo helicopter could carry more than enough to give one to each village, but it would be very loud about it." Wolfe shrugged.

The werewolf smiled, showing his row of perpetually sharp teeth. "I think the twin-engine units will be fine. One witch and a strong man in the back to enchant them for the drop, and we will be good to go."

"Give them some primed armour amulets as well. Maybe five per village in case they\'re attacked so that they have a bit of safety for their first responders. Without Mana Crystals, they likely won\'t be able to recharge them, but they can come to us for that if they\'re willing to work together." Khalifa suggested.

"That\'s not a bad idea. I should make more for the villages in the Forest and the Fae who roam it as well. You have a talent for talking to the Fae, so you can let them know we have defensive magic for them, and the villagers that live in the Fae Forest will agree to help guard the perimeter, I\'m certain of it, so they will need all the armour they can get when the foreigners attack."

The slender Elf smiled at Wolfe. "You really do take battle quite seriously. That\'s a big change from the humans, who measure losses against how many reserves they have to determine tactics."

"I don\'t like losing my people. Especially the cute ones." Wolfe replied with a wink that made the Elf laugh, which in turn made the Faeries flit around the room, spreading sparkling dust everywhere.

"Have you considered that they might not come themselves?" Khalifa asked.

"What do you mean? Like sending human shock troops instead of the witches? That would be tragic, but easier to defeat." Wolfe shrugged.

"No, I think they might try to renew the curses or cast a spell to empower the monsters, so they break free of our influence and become ultra-hostile. I have known many species to pass through Faerie, and without exception, they were all cowardly and conniving."

It annoyed Wolfe a little that he couldn\'t really argue against that assertion. Overall, both the Witches and the Humans would be seen as cowardly by the Elves, as their priority was to keep themselves alive, while from what Wolfe had learned, the Elves focused on keeping the Forest intact and just assumed that they would be fine as well.

"Well, the bullets will work just as well on monsters as they do on people, but we should likely tell them to make more of the heavy machine gun ammunition later. This first case is all for the rifles.

That\'s great for Rank One and Two monsters, but the armoured sorts, like the turtles, armadillos and such, are going to be difficult to take out with this.

Now that you mention it, they said their own monsters are more powerful, so they might inflict something much worse than rabid versions of our own monsters on us. Witch Magic often affects the mind, so they might have tamed the beasts to use in battle."

Khalifa giggled at Wolfe\'s wild idea of Witches leading monsters into battle. It was outlandish, but not impossible.

"Alright, I will make you more tokens to pass out to the villages, and we will put them in the munitions crates. A few in every box will be a nice little bonus for everyone. I remember a story from long ago, but in this world, where humans used to put a pack of cigarettes in every dinner ration as a morale boost to the troops.

They don\'t need the cigarettes to live, but it made life in battle just a little bit more tolerable. Armour spells could be just the sort of thing that helps the morale. If they come charged, the locals can use them, and they can replace the worn-out ones or increase the number of fighters who have one if they have a way to recharge them."

"We are going to need a lot more branches." Wolfe sighed.

The Elf was already on it, growing a new branch from a stick in her hand and slicing it into discs for him to work with.

"We will get them taken care of, no worries. We should still have five days to work."
