Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

A full day after Vicente and his 300 sentinels began their journey...",

In the last 24 hours, the group of magicians who set out from Dresbert had witnessed the massacre of over 3,900 monsters on the outskirts of the plain surrounding their city. There weren't any 5th stage monsters around, so Vicente didn't have any difficulties.

The problem with everything, which perhaps slowed down the group's progress in the meantime, was not the strength of the monsters, but that they were spread out over a large territory; they need to build border posts; the fence and the necessary rests. All of this made their journey not as fast as Vicente could be against 3rd and 4th stage beings.

Still, they regained a lot of ground in the meantime, having built 12 more border posts like the previous one, as well as 110 kilometers of fence between the first border post and where the group was now.

With almost 40% of the area around Dresbert conquered, the group initially divided by Vicente to take care of the 13 posts already built was gradually changing.

...

The day had just begun while Minos' group stood around waiting for their next orders.

Over the last 24 hours, of the 300 individuals who had started this journey at his side, only 84 remained at the moment.

However, he needed more men to hold the remaining 60% of ground ahead of them for the next two days.

He looked at the strongest of the group in front of him and said. "Order half of the groups stationed at posts number 3 to number 10 to leave their positions and join us at number 13."

Each post built by Vicente that day was marked by numbers, starting with number one, the first post he built, and 13, the last to be built, where he and his group were now.

The most important posts at the moment were undoubtedly the three at the end and the three at the beginning. After all, these were the places that could most easily be attacked by monsters.

Even though Vicente's men were well armed, he didn't want to leave these posts weakened, so he focused on reducing the number of men at the intermediate posts. These posts were basically protected by posts nearby and merely had to keep watch over the area of the fence in front of them, something that was easier to do and could be done with fewer personnel.

As soon as he gave his order, a few men relayed Vicente's wishes to posts 3 to 10.

Given the distance between post 3 and post 13, about 90 kilometers, it would take a few minutes for the last of the reinforcements to reach post 13.

"Take a break while these men cto us," Vicente said as he sat down to meditate, having enough tin front of him to recover his mana to its peak state.

The more tired men in the group did so, while the more rested ones kept watch, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

As much as Vicente had been there and had taken care of the vast majority of the enemies over the last few hours, sof them had fired their weapons or worn their armor. Therefore, not all of them were 100%.

Also, Vicente could go for days without sleeping, but that wasn't the sstamina as everyone else there. Swere tired of being under stress for 24 hours straight!

Half an hour later, the last of the sentinels called by Vicente arrived at post 13, when their group set off again, going clockwise.

Vicente once again went ahead of his group, at first focused on continuing the construction of the fence, but as soon as he had added another 9 kilometers of fence, he headed inland along a winding path.

Using his second ability to see the electromagnetic fields in the area generated by magical beings, he identified the enemies to be killed on his way.

Using spells or his abilities, he killed these creatures without mercy, trying to preserve sbodies, but killing several others by using his first power to crush them.

Crushing opponents were effective and fast. But destroying all the monsters' bodies wasn't as interesting. The remains of these creatures were of great value to 3rd and 4th stage magicians.

With each monster crushed, Vicente tried not to crush the next two, using other forms of his powers to eliminate those corrupted lives in his path.

He saw a group of creatures characterized by their spiritual forms, each surrounded by a lot of mana and negative elements.

As he made his first Throne of Darkness pentagram emerge from his body, creatures of darkness emerged from the shadows of those spiritual beings, attacking and suppressing them.

Sounds of agony spread around that first group of malicious fairies, as they suffered for seconds before their deaths.

Vicente stood around the area where he had killed those 13 creatures with a smile on his face.

'The bodies of these evil fairies can produce a black bath liquid that is useful for 3rd and 4th stage Dark Path magicians to use in their cultivation.'

He looked at those semi-transparent bodies and quickly stored them in a special bottle, capable of storing valuable liquids for a long time, under ideal pressure and temperature.

He continued on his way, while the group coming up behind him took on the job of collecting the bodies he had left along the way, but also making sure that no monsters had been left behind.

The group would do this for the next few tens of minutes, the tneeded for them to clear the entire quadrant of around 3% of the land area that they intended to have fully under their control by the end of the next day.

...

For the next 30 hours, Vicente and his people would continue the repetitive and simple work of killing monsters, building fences and border posts along the little over 280 kilometers of border of this terrain.

With another 15 new border posts and 135 kilometers of fencing, the group would reach around 90% completion of their project on the morning of the third day of the group's efforts.

With only 3 more border posts to go to finish his journey of conquest around Dresbert, Vicente was now alongside 27 men to finish the critical part of his mission!
