Volgograd

Ang and his men had been stationed in the makeshift camp for three full days.

During that time, Ang barely rested. He inspected every damaged piece of Enchanted Armament one by one and repaired them personally.

He overlooked neither a single crack nor any wear in the energy channels.

At night, he sat by the fire, wiping down the enchanted runes while repeatedly running through every possible weakness that might arise in battle.

He began reconsidering the structure and core principles of Enchanted Armament, especially its shortcomings in terms of survivability.

A new idea gradually took shape in his mind—adding a magic shield system to Enchanted Armament.

Even if it could only block one fatal blow, it would be enough to save a warrior's life.

But since they were currently on the march and lacked sufficient resources and time, he could only suppress the idea for now and commit it to memory.

To avoid repeating past mistakes, Ang set up a temporary Magic Teleportation Array within the camp. Though it could only be used to urgently transfer supplies or a small number of wounded, it greatly improved their emergency response capabilities.

He also specifically arranged for two mages to accompany them. One was an Earth Magic mage responsible for defense and constructing camp structures, while the other specialized in enchantment studies and was dedicated to repairing Enchanted Armament.

Although he could only create Basic Strength Armament, repairing completed Enchanted Armament was more than enough to handle emergencies on the battlefield.

Three days later, the group set off once more.

Ang flew high ahead of the group, maintaining a wide scouting field with wind magic and constantly watching for activity within ten kilometers.

His expression was focused and calm. No change in the airflow or fluctuation of magic escaped his senses.
