Chapter 5: Defense of City Altar 2
30 minutes later,
Ash thinks deep in his mind, "I should do more for preparing for monsters' attack and maybe I prepare some traps for monsters with getting some suggestion from Evan, after all, he is from this world, he must have some idea of traps that can kill monsters."
When Ash is going to speak with Evan then.
"My lord, why not we create some traps for monsters, after all, they will only be able to use a narrow area to come here for attack," Evan said with nervous eyes.
Ash thinks in his mind, "You take my thought, my friend. Has Evan some mind-reading spell? Mm mm... no. But Evan is a smart person and talented person, he found out how to strengthen the defense of the city. Good for me and city, I like smart person after all."
"Let's do it, some hours are left before monster attack," Ash said with bright eyes.
Then Ash thinks of seeing status window of monsters' attack.
A window popped up in front of his eyes.
......
......…..
Time left before attack: 2 hours, 0 mins
...…..
......…
"So, what kind of traps we will prepare in short time with this narrow area?" Ash said with wide eyes and smile.
"My lord, we can create spike pit with use of 6 woods and dig a shallow soil," Evan said with confident look and smile on his face.
"Let's do it quickly and prepare for some rest before the monsters' attack to the Nexus-city," Ash said with smile. And he thinks in his mind, "It is a good trap for beginner person and quick to construct. And it is better than nothing and in city constructing complex trap need time and manpower and corresponding talents and I don't have any but I will surely build complex traps in future and build the strongest city in the world."
"Okay, my lord," Evan said with sincere look on his face.
"I dig a soil so you can sharp a wood with your sword then help me with digging the soil," said Ash with commanding look on his face.
"Okay, my lord, I will try to complete my task quickly," Evan said with smile.
"Okay but complete your work with perfection otherwise we will have to fight all monster together without usefulness of traps, so try to sharpness of the spike must be at max," Ash said with strict tone.
"Okay, my lord," Evan said with nervous face.
After 1 hr and 30 minutes,
Ash and Evan almost completed all the work of spike pit trap and Ash tried to see the status window of monsters' attack.
..........
................
Time left before attack: 0 hours, 30 mins
........
............
Ash and Evan finally completed the work.
"Now, let's rest before the attack," Ash said with sweating face and some tiredness in his eyes. He thinks, "Doing a manual work is really full of tiredness and sweating. Maybe this is a disadvantage of transmigrating into different world from peaceful planet but I like this compared to life in blue-planet because of this plane's fresh air and long life that this world can provide me. Maybe if old or rich people, adventure-minded people in the blue planet get a choice to come Eldros world for pursuing more life and fresh air, maybe majority of people chose to come in Eldros world even if a threat of death."
"Okay, my lord," Evan said with smile with some sweat on his head.
After 25 minutes,
Ash with his low-grade gun and he has some nervousness in his face and fear in his mind, his legs are not standing fully straight but Ash not bother about it because he knows this side-effect of unknown. When he fights with monster, his all body will fight him at once and Evan with his low-grade sword in his hand, he grips tightly the sword with his fingers and he is waiting for monsters in the area where monsters are going to attack with confidence in his face and some arrogance in his mind.
Then Ash started to stare status window of monsters' attack.

.....
Time left before attack: 1 min 30 sec
.....

Ash thinks deep in his mind, "Now, monster attack started."
Then a window popped up in front of Ash.
....
......
System Task.
........
........
Defend the Nexus-city for: 10 Mins
.......
.......
Ash decided to see his city's "Status window..." because monsters are not coming near the city and he wants to distract himself for the time being.
A window popped up in front of Ash.

He sees.
The night was unnaturally silent. No wind, no rustling leaves—just a stillness that settled over the city of Nexus like a held breath.
After seeing afar,
Ash sees a monster rabbit was coming with exact number of 12

Ash thinks deep in his mind, "These monsters look scary but I can surely kill them, but level 1 monster can make situation complicated. I hope that level 1 monster died in a trap. I should think of best strategy to deal with this kind of wisdom less monsters."
Then
Ash said to Evan, "Follow my command," with serious face.
"Okay, my lord," Evan said with serious look on his face.
